BB day 58/63

So now they are finally thinking of the end game.  If it will play out the way they hope remains to be seen. An HOH or POV win by Nicole, Christine, or even Victoria could shake things up beyond their hopes.

After weeks of the Big Brother house majority running the game we’re closing in on the time when they’ll have to start cutting their own allies. This better not disappoint.

Late last night on the Feeds, Flashback to 1:39AM BBT 8/25 Cams 1/2 (Free Trial), Cody and Caleb are alone in the HoH room when talk turns to who has to go from within their own alliance.

First up: Christine. She’s got to go, the guys agree. Of course that would come after Nicole heads out next week following Donny’s eviction this week. But they want Christine gone before Victoria.

So I guess that whole “I’m not here to play for 5th place” won’t be an issue after all. Sixth it is! Well, of course that’s if things go to the guys’ master plan. Heh.

The discussion continues between Cody and Caleb as they arrive at moving on to the F4 and F3 scenarios. Caleb surprises me when he says he wants to go to F3 with Cody and Derrick. Frankie is not part of their long-term plans here. Was Caleb swayed by what he heard yelled by a fan about Frankie being the Saboteur and not to be trusted?

Both of them agree that there is a fear of Victoria lasting long than they’re planning as Cody notes it happens every season. There’s no mention of that happening as part of Derrick’s planning or even a suspicion of it. If they’re worried about Derrick cutting one of them to keep Victoria around, then they’re not mentioning it here.

Their talk trails off, but they both again agree that their Final Three should be them with Derrick. Cody and Caleb are confident that they can run the remaining competitions and make that happen.

It’s not impossible for the guys to remain strong and fight down to a Final Four together, but if they think it’s wise to keep both Derrick and Frankie together as they enter the F4 then they’re in for a world of hurt for their Big Brother game.




Big Brother 16 – Week 9 Veto Plans: He Wants To, But He Won’t

The Power of Veto Ceremony is coming up later today on the Big Brother Feed and after days of waffling the Hitmen have a plan. Well, Derrick has a plan and Cody is going to follow right along.

Jump to 3:00 AM BBT Cams 3/4 last night on your Live Feeds using Flashback. Get the Free Trial now to watch it using the rewind feature. Derrick and Cody are discussing their next steps and how to handle the Veto meeting with Donny and Nicole as the current nominees.

Cody tells Derrick that in a perfect world he would renom Frankie and send him home. Okay, so why not, Cody? Why not do it right now? Because Cody doesn’t have the guts to do what he wants as we’ve seen week after week. Unless Derrick gives him the go-ahead then he will not do it.

It was just this past Friday when Cody told Derrick he wanted to go after Frankie but Derrick told him that while he could, it’s not something he should do. That was that. No contesting it or arguing. Cody just rolled over.

Keep in mind that this latest discussion takes place in the context of Cody having just heard the fan yelling that Frankie was the Saboteur and neither Frankie nor Christine were to be trusted. All these flags are flying up around Cody, but he’s got his Derrick-blinders on.

This time around Derrick convinces Cody to not go after Frankie by asking him if he’s more comfortable with Frankie and Christine in the house or Nicole and Donny together in the house. Cody says he thinks the rest of the alliance would go after Nicole to “appease the alliance” and only if that fails would Frankie and Christine come after Cody and Derrick.

So Cody shows he’s thinking there’s a risk and even says if both he and Derrick are on the block then he (Cody) would be the one to go. Yet he’s not worried enough to go after Frankie now.

Derrick tells Cody that they need to get Donny, then Nicole, then Christine, and then Frankie. That would leave a F4 of Derrick, Cody, Caleb, and Victoria. Cody agrees to Derrick’s plan. Good for Derrick.

The guys think they can at-will evict Frankie at F5 because they don’t want him in the F4. Hey guys, what if Frankie wins HoH that week? What if he wins Veto that week? There are so many possibilities that they’re being too cocky and confident in their game to consider.

My guess is that Derrick isn’t worried about the plan failing and Frankie staying because he’s got the Team America bond that he thinks would keep him safe over Cody. He’s probably right. This is a fair plan for Derrick and a risky one for Cody.

Alternatively this may be a BB-hit that Derrick wants for himself and not Cody. Could Derrick be pushing Frankie’s deadline out to the end of the list so he has more chances to win HoH and blindside Frankie with an eviction? It’s certainly a feather I’d want in my cap when I stood in front of the Jury.

The guys agree that Cody will not use the Veto today. Donny and Nicole will remain on the block and Donny will be evicted this week. Frankie dodges another eviction plot.
