Big Brother 16: Team America Goes In To Action

Posted: 17 Aug 2014 11:45 AM PDT

After a series of difficult and damaging missions for Team America they’re back with something much easier on the game and their wallets.

Donny, Derrick, and Frankie are working on their latest challenge for this week where they’ll have to hide a favorite piece of clothing from each HG and then get a group together to look for the offender.

They quickly decided this was a definite win for them and set up a plan of what they’d steal from each Houseguest. Flashback to 2:04PM BBT 8/16 to watch.

Easy targets are Caleb’s (well, Amber’s) bunny slippers, Victoria’s scarf, Cody’s Hawaiian hat or college sweatshirt, and Zach’s Gator shirt if they can or his hat or sneakers otherwise.

Team America wonders if they can get away with snatching Christine’s glasses, but they’ll check with DR on that. Later they discuss that she has another pair so it shouldn’t be an issue.

They’ll also take something of theirs to cover any suspicion. Derrick’s t-shirt, Donny’s hat, and Frankie’s blindfold for sleeping.

The first item taken was Victoria’s robe when Derrick grabbed it in the Fire room and took it to the bathroom to put it in the garbage bag they’re using to collect the items. Flashback to 3:53PM BBT 8/16 as Derrick goes to work and again at 4:00PM BBT when he hides the item.

Derrick then took the bag to the Storage room where they’ll hide the items beneath the recycling.

We’ll have to keep watching on the Live Feeds (get your Free Trial now) to see what they do next.

Big Brother 16 Zingbot Zings Leave A Houseguest In Tears

Posted: 17 Aug 2014 09:00 AM PDT

Last night the Big Brother 16 Houseguests got a visit from the much anticipated Zingbot, but by the time he left some of the HGs were really wishing he had never been plugged back in this year.

As part of the Power of Veto competition the Zingbot arrived with a special guest this time: Kathy Griffin, or Kathy Lee Gifford if you ask Cody. The Zingbot cranked up the mean factor this year along with Griffin’s help while mocking Frankie for his coat-tailing, Derrick for his looks, Christine for her behavior with Cody, and plenty more.

When the Feeds returned from the comp not only did we find out who won the PoV this week, but also lots of retells of the Zingbot’s Zings this year. Here’s what we’ve gathered from the Live Feeds:

Frankie’s Zing was of course related to his sister. Zingbot told Frankie he had a good tan considering his lives in his sister’s shadow.

Derrick’s was about his looks. Zingbot said all the guys were really good looking this year then adds, “oh wait, I didn’t see you there, Derrick.”

Donny’s Zing related to his poor social game of not being around the other HGs so he said he’d stay up later to be more social.

Victoria was criticized for being a wallflower and not having a game. She became very concerned that she’d get boo’d or disliked by Julie as a result. Victoria told Zach she was playing a “reserved game.”

Zach’s Zing asked what you call someone who wears pink, cuddles with men, and cries a lot: Zach. Kathy Griffin allegedly walked over and told Zach, “Zing, MF’r” after her joke.

Caleb’s had something to do with wearing make-up as he has often done in the house.

Christine’s was about her tattoos and may have been a throwback to JennCity’s tattoo Zing.

Christine’s Cody’s Zing took aim at her close and physical connection with Cody. Viewers and production have zeroed in on the frequent physical contact between her and Cody. Cameras often zoom in on their hands rubbing all over each other.

Cody said he didn’t initially think the Zing was that bad but then realized it was. He’s very worried about Christine’s husband being upset and it making Cody looking bad. Derrick advised Cody to go tell the DR that they shouldn’t air that one.

Christine echo’d Cody’s concerns and it was heavily discussed after the Feeds returned. Christine is very worried about her pastor and members of her church hearing the Zing and thinking poorly of her. She must not be too worried though as she almost immediately started doing it again and the cameras zoom right in on their hands pawing at one another.

Later that night Christine was crying around the house about the situation. HGs tried to comfort her as she worried about what her husband might think. Online her husband took to Twitter to reassure viewers that he did in fact love his wife, but other comments have also indicated he’s felt hurt by the behavior. Rightfully so, I’d say, but how they handle it is between them.

We’ll have to listen out for more details on the Zings then we’ll get to see them all play out on Wednesday’s episode of Big Brother 16. Who do you think got the best Zing?

'Big Brother 16' Spoilers: Was the Power of Veto Used in Week 8?
Monday, August 18, 2014

John Kubicek
Senior Writer, BuddyTV

Big Brother 16 is a very unusual season. This week they picked Skittles out of a hat to decide the nominations, and now the Power of Veto ceremony is so staged that everyone, including the people involved, knew exactly what was going to happen beforehand.

SPOILER WARNING: This article contains Big Brother 16 spoilers.

Frankie won the Power of Veto.

Frankie saved Caleb. Zach is the replacement nominee.

Zach is going to be evicted. Zach knows this. Everyone knows this. Everyone knew it before the ceremony.

Zach started to get suspicious on Sunday, mostly because Caleb basically told him to his face that he was going up when everything surrounding the Team America mission started to blow up (more on that later). Zach got depressed, figured it out, talked to Frankie and learned that he was going to be nominated and evicted because it's what everyone in the alliance wanted because of the many times he's been unreliable and opened his mouth.

Zach took it well, accepted his inevitable fate with a smile and agreed to just have a fun couple of final days in the Big Brother 16 house. It's very unusual since he and Frankie managed to remain civil and best friends, even while this was happening.

There are allegedly rules about not telling people if they're going to be nominated, but obviously the producers don't care enough to enforce them. After the Skittle selection, how could they, since it was obvious that everyone knew they were going to be nominated before it happened. Heck, even Frankie's sister, Ariana Grande, tweeted using the hashtag #RenomRule, which states that you can't tell someone if they're going to be the replacement nominee. Apparently it was enforced in season 12 when Brendon told Britney he was going to nominate her, got called to the diary room, and then had another conversation about how he wasn't going to put her up.

Team America

The new mission, to steal articles of clothing from everyone and start a neighborhood watch patrol for 24 hours, kicked off on Sunday. After all of the items were stolen, Cody was the first to notice his hat went missing. He went crazy looking for it and, soon after, everyone realized they were missing something too.

It didn't take long for accusations to fly, with almost everyone agreeing that Zach did it and he is the Saboteur. As always, the Team America mission targets Zach. He tried to deny it, though he did it with the same half-smile when the rumor about him being Amanda Zuckerman's cousin started. He played along with it at first, but when it became obvious to him that everyone wanted him out because of it and that he could be the replacement nominee, he stopped.

He tried repeatedly by begging and pleading that it wasn't him, but no one seemed to believe him. It became a witch hunt, with everyone going over all of the crazy things he's done this season and deciding that they all must have been missions for the Saboteur. It was quite depressing to watch everyone gang up on him, especially since Frankie and Derrick were fueling the fire.

Zach didn't help his case when he tried to steal the cue ball from the pool table and was immediately caught red-handed. Eventually things died down, especially after he learned he was going to be nominated and evicted (but not just because of this Saboteur thing).

Also, Cody and Caleb eventually found the stolen items in the storage room, very proud of their detective skills. Even after that, Donny and Derrick kept the patrol up to ensure that they win the mission, since it must continue for 24 hours. But it wasn't really a "patrol" and, instead, it was just one member of Team America and someone else (Victoria or Caleb throughout the night) staying up with them in the living room.

FUN FACTS

-This is Zach's fourth nomination. Now he, Victoria, Donny and Caleb all have four or more nominations each, while all of the other four HGs combined only have four total nominations.

-This is Zach's third time facing an eviction vote and the first for Cody. Christine, Frankie, Derrick and Victoria have never faced a vote.

-Since Victoria is neither nominated nor HoH, this will mark the ninth eviction in a row in which she will cast a vote. The only other HGs in the history of the show to cast votes in each of the first nine evictions are season 3's Danielle Reyes and season 11's Kevin Campbell. Season 15's McCrae Olson holds the record for most consecutive votes with 10 in a row, though he was HoH in the first week and didn't vote.

-Derrick has now survived nine rounds of nominations without ever going on the block. He is only the ninth player in the history of the show to do this. Others include the last two winners, Andy Herren and Ian Terry, as well as season 5 winner Drew Daniel. Season 3's Danielle Reyes and Jason Guy, as well as season 6's April Lewis, are the only HGs to go 10 whole sets of nominations without being on the block.
