Apparently there is some momentum to get NICOLE out this week. Frankie and Derrick I think realize how far the producers are pushing for it and kind of want to pander to the audience as they know Donny is popular. Also worried about Nicole's performance in an endurance competition as well as how well Nicole has re-integrated into the house, especially with Christine.

That sucks. I love Donny but he stands a much smaller chance of fighting against the other side than Nicole.

But the producers know that.

God Cody is such a little chicken shit.

I'm slow with watching the episodes, I have so little desire to watch this show. Even when these five numbskulls start turning on each other, it's going to suck. Christine and Frankie won't care, they'll just say "That Derrick, he sure played a great game!"

I hope whoever stays of the nominated tonight wins HOH. Otherwise, another lost week.

Frankie/Christine/Victoria winning HOH are probably worst case scenarios. I think I might be able to live with Derrick/Caleb winning it, because I think they'd target Frankie/Christine. And obviously I'm rooting hard for Nicole to win it, if Donny is indeed the one who gets voted out.

I power voted "no" for the Team America vote 40 times so that they'd fail the mission and Frankie wouldn't get any money. This is what I've been reduced to.

I'm just gonna roll my eyes if anyone but Nicole wins HOH after Donny gets the boot tonight because...come on.

The only reason to vote "yes" for that Team America "mission" would be to give Donny more money. But then you think about Frankie getting it and having the satisfaction that his "idea" was worth it. NO NO NO.

omg this gif:

LOL.

I haven't watched this week. Doesn't sound like I've missed anything other than most of them being horrible.

You missed Victoria almost dying for 30 seconds. About it, really.

As much as I like Donny and Nicole, it's become abundantly clear that Zach was the only thing making this season even watchable since Devin left.

I like what you said, Libs, about Caleb or Derrick winning and maybe realizing that Nicole is one player while Christine and Frankie are much bigger threats. That gives me a glimmer of hope if they win.

I predict Victoria winning tonight in a complete fluke. Which may actually be somewhat interesting because she listens to Derrick and Derrick may tell her to nominate Christine and Frankie. But then it'll suck cause Frankie will win POV, she'll nominate Nicole and Nicole will go home. Ugh.

That GIF is...

For one rare time, I love Cody in that GIF: "Hahahaha... hahah... ha... WTF?!"

The bad news: Donny is gone, Caleb won HOH.

The good news: there is some slight concern about Frankie from the boys. I don't think it'll amount to anything but it's our only hope this week.

Frankie is pissed at the reaction Donny got from the audience. He can't imagine why he was liked at all.

Reality check: you can buy Twitter followers, you can't buy charm and likability.

By far the best part of last night's episode was Julie shading Team America and telling Frankie it was an "overwhelming no." You could see him burst into tears internally in real time and it was delicious.

The segment with Christine and Cody's family was pretty great too. Christine's own family shaming her and publicly disapproving of her behavior on national television, LMAO.

Donny made me tear up. Like Amber, I think he was too good of a person to survive this season.

Caleb winning HOH...snoozeville. Unless Nicole wins POV or someone gets into a paranoid fit about Frankie, this week is going to be painfully dull.

You could tell this was a really tough week for Derrick. Having to put on a show for Frankie and the "alliance" and then having to vote Donny out seemed like it took a toll on him. I think he's going to push Caleb to make a big game move. Here's to hoping Christine/Frankie are the noms.

Also, Magnus would be a big fan of Cody's sister. Smokeshow!

Derrick wants Nicole/Christine noms and it looks like that's what we're gonna get. I just hope that witch goes home instead of Nicole.

I don't understand why they haven't turned on Frankie. I just don't get it.

There has to be some producer involvement there.

Obviously.

According to Cody, his mom is the smokeshow.

Weird.

UGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHH CHRISTINE WON VETO AND I'M OFFICIALLY CALLING IT

BB16 - time of death: 8:07 EST August 30th, 2014.

Aaaaaaand with Nicole losing veto, the official Last Great Hope of BB16 has been extinguished.

All that's left to do is watch these asshats cannibalize each other and for Derrick to claim his (rightfully deserved) $500,000 prize.

Children. There may be a backdoor Frankie plan in the works. Stay tuned.

If--and this is a huge IF--production doesn't interfere to save their Golden Boy in favor of actual interest for the rest of the season, I don't think Caleb is awesome enough to pull this off.

But I'd be willing to change my opinion of him if he does.
