I’m not going to lie, as I write this, I am only about 68% confident in my predictions. I may even update this if and when I ever get to hear more conversations in the house today. On Thursday afternoon, the feeds are typically either people getting ready for the live show, or the ‘be right back’ message as the house has a walk through of the night. Hopefully they will pop on long enough to get a definite decision on tonight, but as it stands right now, it’s not looking good for Donny. Caleb and Derrick were supposed to speak more about it today, and there is plenty of time to flip the vote. Donny only needs 3 and he has that, but those 3 are scared of rocking the boat. If they can’t convince Cody and have a unanimous decision, Nicole will likely stay.
So my prediction is that the house will be unanimous simply because it has been most of the season, but as of 11:30am (pst), I am going to say the vote will be for Donny to leave. Again, I will update this if anything changes.
Player Rankings:
- Frankie
I had a tough time with Frankie versus Derrick, but I had to go with Frankie because he’s more visible with his game and it will pay off in the end. He has won 4 Head of Households, 1 PoV, and 1 BoB. He’s only been nominated once and never had to sit in the final chair (he pulled himself off with a solo BoB win). His social game is very good and has been able to get out of any jam he was placed in so far this season. I think he beats anyone in the F2. - Derrick
Derrick has had an incredible social game and has controlled every aspect of the house since he’s walked through the door. He has won 2 Head of Households, but has remained pretty quiet competitively other than that. The challenge with Derrick will be convincing a jury they’re all sitting there because of his game, and making them accept that’s how it’s played. Derrick is playing the Dan game from BB14, and he (Dan) lost to Ian due to a bitter jury that couldn’t accept Dan played circles around them all. - Caleb
The Beast Mode Cowboy who hasn’t exactly been ‘Beast Mode’ this season. Yes, he has won four overall competitions. Two of them being HoH and two of them being BoB. That said, one of his BoB wins was dumb luck because he sat out and Frankie won it by himself. I know the competitions aren’t really his style so far as he’s clearly more of a physical player, but his whole game has been loyalty and competitions wins. He is great with loyalty, but so far not too great with the other. Caleb can win because of that loyalty, but he’d clearly have to be sitting next to someone below him on the rankings.. and even then it’s not a guarantee. - Donny
It’s hard to rank Donny 4th considering he’s going out the door tonight (or could be), but I couldn’t in good conscious rank him lower than anyone else simply because he’s so much smarter and more aware of his surroundings than anyone else. Should he find a way to make the f2, he probably would win it all against anyone, but he drops ranks simply because his time in the house is limited. His social game isn’t strong enough to keep him through to the end. He’d have to win every competition, and that’s not Donny’s strength. - Cody
Cody is the vanilla flavor of the Big Brother house. He’s always kind of there, and sometimes refreshing, but generally pretty bland. He easily beats any of the girls if he’s in the f2 with them, but whether or not he’d beat one of the guys depends on how he performs from here until the end of the season. As of right now, I can’t see him beating anyone above him. - Nicole
Already evicted once and should keep her bags packed because she’s not going to remain in the house very long after tonight (assuming she survives the eviction). Her only chance of winning is sitting next to Victoria or Christine in the f2, but that’s not happening. - Christine
Christine chose her role weeks ago when the girls had a chance to change the course of the game, but Christine stuck to her nearly all-male alliance thinking it was a good idea. It’s never a good idea to be the only female or two in an alliance full of alpha males. The only way that works would be an Amanda in an alliance full of McCrae’s. Christine is no Amanda. - Victoria
Only still in the house because she’s a vote. Victoria is the only remaining houseguest to not win HoH yet and has played a true floater game. She will likely be in the f2 or f3, but has no chance of winning it all.
What do you think of my rankings? How would you rank the houseguests?
Seeing Derrick’s daughter saying I miss you and I love you made me tear up. But I’m happy Team America got an overwhelming no to their mission. I’d like to know what the percentage was.
I agree with most comments, but the reason that Derrick may not win is that the other players have no idea that they were totally controlled by him the whole game. I think Frankie will get the credit for all of D’S moves. These HAVE to be the most unaware ppl in all of BB history. They bash Donny where there is no reason, yet the person who is controlling them…..has an occupation where he was TRAINED to do that. Yes, he is likable , but that is who he has to be every day in his job. If I was in that house and found out (after giving him the money), what he does for a living….it would disgust me because he has been trained to get the job done without putting “blood on his hands”…..just like most of the law enforcement that exists around the world today.
It seemed like they were all in vacation/camp/ frat house mode. Donny and Derrick were the only ones actually aware that a game was going on. I think Donny is pretty laid back to begin with, but he was completely shocked at their actions/speech so didn’t get in on the social aspect soon enough. Not sure Victoria knows that yet.
Steve you hit a home run with your comments. I agree with all of them, but for entertainment purposes I would have like to see someone actually flip the block and there has been many times where the detinators could have been flipped but didn’t. The other players never pulled together against the detinators and somehow didn’t try very hard on their own to change the outcome. These next two weeks could change alot if someone other than a detinator won HOH. At this point I think most of them deserve at least 2nd place as they have been able to survive this long is an achievement. But since Team America has already influenced votes and pocketed some extra cash I am not that excited for any of those players to win. I am now hoping for Caleb and Nicole in the final 2.
I would flip Derrick and Frankie simply because they worship, idolize, fear, whatever the heck it is, Derrick. They KNOW he’s running things and still let him continue. Still hoping Caleb and Frankie can flip things. Maybe they will be told early about the massive failure of the freaky Frankie show.
This is a P.O. Box Donny’s girlfriend, Kristine, opened for him:
Donny Thompson
P.O. Box 2028
Concord, NC 28026
I got the address in an interview by Jessie (BB15) to Kristine and Amber. There was also a girl from BB Canada. I heard the address form Kristine’s own lips and it was repeated about 3 times so I’m sure I got it right. This has nothing to do with the fundraiser. I will write Donny a letter or send him a greeting card because I think he truly deserves it. I want him to feel that he is not alone, that he has many fans that love him. Hopefully many people will write to him. And I really hope he can get his job back or even a better job. Like someone said in a previous post, maybe he can do Pop-Tart commercials since he likes them so much.
We love you Donny!
Is Donny from Concord?
My brother does inspections in Concord, its about 20 minutes away from where I live.
I know Elissa was from Concord… but I thought Donny was from elsewheres in the state…
Willie, I just checked on CBS and it says Donny’s hometown is Albemarle, NC. Maybe that is close to Concord, does anyone know?
I’d flip Derrick and Frankie, simply for the fact that Frankie isn’t as subtle and secretive about his manipulations of the houseguests like Derrick is. Everything else I agree on, your insight is again spot on, stevebeans.
I know Donny is going home tonight so guess I won’t be watching BB anymore this season, this year has been so predictable. Maybe next year it will be better at least I hope so.
Im not sure about the rankings. I need less factors..
It will be easier to gauge in 2 wks when its down to 4…
Sorry but Im glad the mission failed. It is a direct message to Mango that we dont like him as much as we think he does.
It is a message to Derrick that he is screwing up his game plan by making Donny a target.
I doubt Donny will win HoH. It will probably be Mango again.
Whooooooo! So glad to hear the mission was a fail. I thought the point of TA was to stir up some trouble in the house, all that play did was give Frankie the spotlight LOL.
And I think Fakies charity is awesome. But if you had the power to change a place with that money then why not keep it at home? There are families in trouble all over this country.
I agree with the preditions, except maybe flipping Derrick and Frankie like Bobby Joe said
1-2-3 are okay. Then you really stink it up with your rankings. You put Donny fourth? That’s hilarious and so wrong. He has NO alliance except with fellow outcast Nicole, his social game reeks, and there’s no good reason for the others to keep him plus he’s on the block. He should be ranked #7 or #8, not #4–ahead of the HOH/veto winner in a good alliance who nominated him! #Cody, #5 Victoria (close to Derrick, no reason to cut her loose for a while), #6 Christine (can go after Nicole), #7 and 8 Nicole and Donny in either order.
I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: who says you have to have all that so-called “winner” criteria in order to be a good player?? Maybe, flying under the radar, no social, no physical, no wins, is the best game play? Who’s to judge? We all have our own definition of winner-potential houseguests.
Just saw on CBS.com that America voted to NOT reward Team America for their mission. I would love for that information to sway Derrick and Frankie into telling Beast Mode they are voting to keep Donny because they believe it’s in their best interest and that he should do the same. That is if they are given enough time to do so before the eviction. A girl can hope. GO DONNY!!
I looked on cbs site and didn’t see anything about that.
I also looked on cbs.com and did not see anything about the mission failing.
TA mission failed ….http://www.cbs.com/shows/big_brother/team-america-vote/
How do you know it failed
I really don’t want Frankie to win. I think Derrick has played a much better game than Frankie. I think that Frankie has the disadvantage of people knowing he already has money and fame and the 5 hundred thousand won’t change his life like it would the other players. I know he says he’s giving to charity but does anyone honestly believe that?
Frankie is a scheming wannabee. By scheming I mean this whole ‘Charity’, B.S. Before he even went in the house, his family had set up that tax shelter as a way for him to get paid by a group outside of the USA and to avoid paying any taxes on the potential winnings from Big Bro. There is only one employee of said charity & that would be, You guessed it… FRANKIE. As principal employee, twice a year he gets a huge salary to fly to Africa & teach native children how to dance. Frankie will be the 1st winner of the BB half million who won’t even have to pay taxes on it. Like they say, Money goes to money.
I find it ironic that production gives these people alcohol to make them more interesting to us viewers. And we have to consume alcohol to tolerate watching the feeds and BBAD. Second Fakie should be in jail for trying to molest and r**e every man in the house. He feels he is validated to do do whatever he wants because his sister is famous and production and the house guests let it happen. That said I hope Donny stays but he’s gone. I will root for Nicole and hope she can flip the house. When she is gone I will not watch another episode of BB for life. Sorry for the rant.
I think your predictions are spot on – my thoughts exactly
I thought Derrick has won 3 HOHs, but I could be wrong.
Why don’t they send Nicole home because she has already went home once which would be only fair to Donny and then next week start fresh. I think Donny would put up Christine and maybe Victoria and then let the guys duke it out.
Because they already have their final 5 set.
A few nights ago on BBAD I heard Cody and Derrick talking about getting rid of Christine and Mango BEFORE Nicole.
Keeping my fingers crossed for THAT to happen.
I hope to GOD neither Frankie or Derrick win. Good game players but awful people. Also Derrick ruined this season by making it extremely boring and predictable.
I would flip Frankie and Derrick but I agree with all the other rankings. Donny keeps asking what has he done to deserve being evicted but it is simple fear that he is so well liked he can beat anyone if he is in the final two. I root for Donny but it is good game play to vote him out.
I would also flip Mango and Derrick because I think the HG’s actually like Derrick better as a person and only tolerate Mango because of his sister’s fame.
And they would also think that Mango has access to his sister’s money, and Derrick talks about his wife and daughter and wanting the money for them.
In a Derrick/Mango match-up I would put money on Derrick.
