There was absolutely no surprise on the Big Brother 16 live show last night. Despite the weekly highlights making it seem like there was a chance Caleb would be evicted from the house, it wasn’t going to happen. There were a few mentions of it through the week, but as we witnessed during the veto competition when the house celebrated Devin’s defeat, there was only one person they wanted to see walk out of that door, and he did.
The highlight of the live show featured former houseguest Jeff visiting Donny’s family. His family was everything you’d expect his family to be, and it was fantastic TV. Donny’s parents said they don’t watch him on TV and basically think the show is trash (in so many words). His sisters and girlfriend laughed about the house thinking Donny was some super covert CIA agent. Then Jeff went through Donny’s daily routine of eating a pop tart and mowing the lawn (Donny talks about that routine quite often). I guess that was about it, and it was a telling sign that a prerecorded family visit was the best part of an episode that featured an eviction and a live HoH challenge.
Devin was evicted with ease at 11-0, despite Christine and Nicole talking earlier in the day about throwing some Caleb votes in to stir the house up. That didn’t happen, and for the second time in three weeks, it was a unanimous vote. The ‘evil’ Devin was gone, and now the house can back to living in the fantasy land that Big Brother is just a summer vacation… until they’re stabbed in the back by the next person who wants to win.
I do want to mention the last plea each nominated person gets to say. Caleb, wearing an unbuttoned shirt like he was attending some cowboy bbq (and not live television in front of millions), stood up and gave a speech about himself. Frankie even mocked the speech at around 1:16am on the live feeds because it was that horrible. Mixed in with about ten “beastmode cowboy” references, Caleb essentially stood up and told the house how great of a player he is, but they should vote Devin out because he lied. Very convincing argument! Devin, on the other hand, actually gave a pretty solid speech that should have won him some votes, if the house actually wanted to play the game. He essentially told the truth that keeping in the house is smart because he’ll always be a target, and then went on to apologize for his behavior.
Like Caleb, Devin also did have to mention how great of a player he is, and that probably would have done him in if the house hadn’t already made up their minds days ago. Here are how two former players weighed in on the speeches…
Brittany Haynes on Caleb
“Beast mode cowboy” is one of the most embarrassing things I’ve heard someone say with pride. And I have known a lot of embarrassment. #bb16

Dan Gheesling on Devin
Devin had a solid speech going until he told everyone he was a competition beast. #BB16

As I mentioned above, Devin went home and all is well in the BB16 house. For now.
Regarding the HoH competition, if you only watch the CBS episodes, you don’t know who won and will find out Sunday night, but I have spoilers below…
After Big Brother screwed us live feeders by blocking the entire competition from the feeds, they returned to reveal the winners of the competition
(spoilers below)
Frankie and Cody!
Seeing as Frankie is part of Team America, and they have been assigned the task to nominate a physical threat, here are the expected nominations today…
Frankie will likely nominate Amber and Jocasta
Cody will likely nominate Brittany and Victoria
Yea! Get out those physical threats! Wait… where are the threats? Where is Beastmode Cowboy? Zach? Hayden? America wants a physical threat gone, and they vote four people who have done next to nothing all season? Well done, Team America. Well done!

If the girls had any hope, they should have rallied to keep Pao and Devin these last two weeks, saving them by making some type of deal/alliance. It would have given them numbers to fight Zack/Cody/Derrick etc. They are dead in the water now.
On BBAD we see Derrick and Frankie plotting their TA assignment and strategy. Apparently Frankie got the rules from BB and is explaining them to Derrick. This is where I am going to call b******t (shame on you BB). BB told Frankie they could decide who was a physical threat as long as it was unanimous – b******t – this is not what America voted on – we wanted them to nominate a true physical threat to shake up the game – BB gave them a way to whimp out – hell all three could decide Victoria was a physical threat – again b******t and shame on you BB.
Britney’s twitter commentary is hilarious. I miss her being on the show. She was at least good for some comic relief.
I nearly fell off my couch last night when I saw Caleb’s shirt unbuttoned. Talk about a meat-headed m***n. Maybe that’s considered hot sh*t in the bumpkin town he’s from, but in the rest of the world, that’s just trashy. Nobody wants to see his fugly tattoos either. Poor Amber. He just won’t get the hint.
Now I coulda swore when Nicole appeared in the frog suit she said she had to wear it a whole week..but she didn’t..WTH?????
She couldn’t wear the custom while they were playing for HOH. Was she wearing it later?
Yeah I was almost hoping Devin would stay…and Caleb flashing his abs was not classy…and hey I think you goofed on the Team America highlighting above. …
That’s one thing i never understood, for this challenge they had to nominate a physical threat but that’s more of an opinion than anything. One person can view someone as a physical threat whiles the other don’t.
If you are victoria everyone is considered a physical threat. If your Caleb your options are pretty limited.
After hearing Caleb plea I would have voted him out for leaving his shirt open and telling us how great he is.
how far into the competition do you think the double HOH twist will go ?
I have no idea but I really dont care for it.
Probably until they get to jury. I like it as it made sure everyone had to devise their own strategy on the fly and not rely on past season conditions.
They are considering Amber a physical threat !
I’m thinking the strategy is to backdoor the Beast Mode Cowboy. Though I’d be just as happy to see Jocasta go…blech.
I hope so, I really do, but I dont think they view this as the week to get him out. You can get out a floater with no blood and keep Caleb on your side for another week letting him think he is safe and keeping you safe the following week. Caleb doesnt have the clout to back door a major target like Derrick or Cody. So you could by yourself almost 3 weeks of safety by voting out a floater and keeping the backdoor plan for down the road.
Given the chance, they are going to take Caleb out. He was in their cross hairs last week if not for Devin.
