HoH - Cody
PoV Holder - Cody
Final Noms - Nicole & Donny

Recap - HGs have been flip flopping about who to sent home. Right now it looks like it's back to Donny.

Most HGs slept all day and are finally waking up.

Frankie tells Derrick that he let Donny know that it's not looking good and Caleb is the only one he could possibly get to flip

Frankie also let Derrick know he told Donny that he has to vote with the house so he doesnt have his vote unless it's with the majority

Caleb to Frankie- Donny going before Victoria sucks cause he has worked his butt off to be here but it's what's best for our alliance

Caleb- Just them two (Christine & Cody were up late) huh? Donny- Might have Big Brother babies in here. Derrick- That wouldnt be good

Cody's finally waking up for the day.

Donny's been campaigning hard today, and it sounds like Caleb is leaning towards flipping to vote to keep him. at the moment, Caleb is talking to Derrick about it

Caleb has come up with a theory that so many HOH comps have been mental because America has been voting for what the HOH comps are

Caleb now talking to Frankie about sending Nicole to jury instead of Donny

Caleb left the room and Frankie did a twirl. Frankie immediately reported the conversation back to Donny and Derrick

Caleb now going up to talk to Cody

Cody's not liking the idea at all. he 100% wants Donny gone this week

Earlier, Frankie told TA that Julie is going to ask them which have-not food they would request. They say apple pie. If Julie says yes they passed their mission. If she says no they failed.

(is anyone besides me actually surprised that that WAS a TA mission? I thought the whole time that Donny was making it up to try to save himself)

MatthewAnthony: me too! LOL

Caleb/Frankie/Derrick/Cody were just talking in the HOH room, and agreed that any of them want to send Donny home, that they'll send him home. Caleb flipped and said he wanted to send Donny home

seems like the deciding factor is that Donny will beat any of them at final 2

Frankie is pushing SUPER hard for Nicole to go home. this is going to hurt him going forward

Wait so the mission really was to keep Donny? I though tit was that song and dance thing they did?

SanuraSnowpaw: we thought Donny made up the entire mission (meaning there never was a TA mission and he just told the others there was to try and save himself).

Overnight, the boys were still torn on sending Donny home. Seems like the final deciding factor to keep Nicole was that Derrick doesn't feel like now is the right time to go against Cody.

Also overnight, Nicole gave herself and pep talk saying she has to get her head back in the game and it's now or never.

Frankie and Derrick discussed the TA mission. Frankie says of they didn't get it will be like a personal attack against him. Derrick is worried people will be mad that they sent Donny home.

Frankie offered to follow anyone that takes a screen cap of themselves voting for them.

St_Clinton: exactly!

Sounds like the house might be flipping again!

Donny is by himself, sitting in the nomination chair and is crying

Caleb tells Frankie that if all of the guys tell Donny they are keeping him and then the girls vote against him he may nom the girls

Donny tells Caleb that he would 100% put up the two girls if he is saved. He promises that he will stick to his word

Frankie- Caleb wants to get out Nicole. Cody- I still want Donny out. Frankie- Caleb, Derrick and I want to get Nicole out

Frankie says that Caleb got Donny to make a deal to keep the guys safe. Cody says it's bullshit and Donny has no reason to say no

Cody- I dont want Nicole out over Donny. Frankie- But the three of us do

Cody to Frankie- If that's how you're going to vote, that's how you're going to vote. I'm gonna be pissed about it

Caleb tells Cody that Christine wont work with Donny but she would work with Nicole

Cody tells Christine that the others are flipping and that he needs to talk to Derrick. Christine- "This is not okay. I'm pissed"

Derrick to Cody- I'm not voting Donny to stay. He's going home

Cody to Frankie- It's two weeks in a row Donny has tried to get me up. He has got to go...for my game

Frankie to Cody- I dont believe Nicole is going to put two girls up. At least with Donny having a verbal "I promise"...it's something

Cody- How sure are you that Donny is going to do that (nom the girls)? Frankie- I feel it (keeping Nicole) is more of a gamble

Cody- If Donny wins, as long as he doesnt put two of us up together we'd be fine. Frankie- Exactly! Go talk to him yourself

Cody admits that it is scary how tight Christine, Nicole and Victoria are but he is worried about his own game with Donny there

ultimately, it seems that the decision was to send Donny home tonight. Frankie's not happy about it and thinks that they're making a mistake

feeds are down until after the live show at this point. there's a lot of speculation due to the fact that lockdown started at 11 AM yesterday that tonight is the wall comp (it takes about that long to set up)

I think it would be smarter for them to keep Donny but Cody can't seem to see that.

Donny was evicted by a 5-0 vote, and the Team America mission was failed

HOH comp is the slippery slope container-filling comp. feeds just came back for a second, and then went off again

there are 2 containers to choose from - HOH and "5000 Dollas, 5000 Hollas" - if someone fills that container, they get $5k, but have to listen to incessant shout-outs for the rest of the summer

everyone is going for the HOH container

from what we saw on TV, Caleb and Nicole are having the easiest time making it up and down the slope, but this is a long comp and anything can happen

HGs out of breathe. Derrick crawling.

feeds are back. Caleb's is probably about... 1/20th full. Victoria's looks like it has barely any in it

haven't seen close-ups of any others yet

Christine just fell hard!

Nicole needs to win!!

It's hard to tell, but Caleb seems the most comfortable. Victoria struggling!

Frankie is really catching on well, and is focusing on getting full scoops/not spilling any liquid

Cody just said that Frankie was prancing up the slope pretty accurate

Cody: How are you doing, Christine?
Christine: I don't know, I'm going to die

we just saw close-ups of Caleb and Nicole's containers. they looked pretty even to me

Caleb is crawling now. Victoria and Derrick still having a hard time.

close-up of Frankie's container now. he might be slightly ahead of both Caleb and Nicole

close-up of Victoria's. she has maybe half as much as those three

Nicole just wiped out right before reaching the bowl to dump her liquid. Frankie is getting pretty good at moving.

I'm kind of surprised that Victoria/Christine/Derrick aren't going for the 5k

Caleb just wiped out right before dumping

I don't want Frankie to win ;-;

honestly... Frankie is kind of ideal for this comp. as a dancer, he has excellent balance and cardio fitness

not to mention leg strength

Victoria tries to go up the hill but is running and sliding down. Gives up and goes back to the bottom!!

(as a note for those who were watching on TV: though this LOOKED like ice, it's not... this comp isn't cold. that means that it's not triggering Frankie's Reynaud's Phenomenon, so he won't suffer that)

oh wow, we just saw a shot of Christine's container next to Nicole's, and it looks like Christine is higher than Nicole. with as much as she's struggling, that surprises me

Frankie's container definitely has more liquid in it than Nicole's at the moment. it looks like Christine's does as well. that camera is an angled shot, though, so it could be an illusion

if I were to guess, I'd say Frankie's probably 12-15% full at the moment

I wish this comp had some kind of electronic scoreboard to show us who was actually in the lead. Caleb and Frankie are on opposite sides, and seeing shots of their containers side-by-side on different cams

almost never happens

Caleb, Victoria, Derrick, Christine, Nicole and Frankie from left to right. Still hard to tell.

I think we can definitely count Derrick and Victoria out at this point - their containers are almost empty

oh wow, it looks liek Christine is now beating Frankie

Derrick wiped out

Victoria is finally starting to catch on. her "piece of coal" is now floating!

Cody (not competing): "This is really tiring."

Derrick is now going for the $5k

he realized he has no shot at HOH

Derrick [says] - Caleb, Frankie, Christine are the top ones. Nicole is close behind

Derrick asks Christine how much longer she thinks this will take. she says 1 more hour

it's been about 50 minutes so far and they're not even 1/4 filled - so I think Christine is a bit mistaken

To me it looks like Christine has a slight lead over Frankie, Caleb is 3rd & then Nicole in 4th!

it's really hard to tell between Christine and Frankie. this comp also can be determined by finger length, and I have no clue whose fingers are longer

Derrick just took another big spill and told his wife not to laugh

Christine, Nicole and Frankie (left to right)

Christine looks like she's at about the 1/4 filled point now

at this point, it looks like Derrick will definitely get the prize/punishment before someone wins HOH

Christine's liquid is up to the bottom of the smile, Nicole's is maybe half an inch below

haven't seen a close-up of Frankie or Caleb's container lately

wow, Nicole just took a HUGE spill

she says is really hurt, but "I'm alright Mom, if you're watching"

Come on Nicole please pull it off ;-;

Frankie just fell for the first time.... and he was heading back, only dropped to one knee and then was back up

Nicole just took another hard fall

Christine has almost filled to the high end of the smile

Ugh poor nicole

Derrick is wearing shoes that are 2 sizes to small, but they're not allowed to take them off. he thinks that's making him fall more

*too

huh, so the smile on Victoria's seems to be even, but the one on Christine's is lopsided. unfortunately, I'm not sure if we can count on the positioning on the faces to be consistent

Nicole says a cricket tripped her!

we have 2 cameras on Victoria's container filling (still not to the bottom of the smile) and none on anyone else's container. rather frustrating

it looks like Caleb is at about the halfway point, though

Nicole is about to reach the top portion of the smile

Derrick almost has the 5,000 prize

Frankie is at the halfway point

ewww not Frankie.

From the angles we're getting it looks to me like Caleb has taken the lead. Christine and Frankie are close behind though.

I agree. Caleb has been going full-speed the whole time so far. if he wins, he 100% deserves it

Caleb just said he's starting to cramp up

Frankie, "I just threw up in my mouth again"

I'm really impressed with Christine. I didn't realize she had anywhere close to this level of cardio fitness.

Derrick is getting pretty close to the point where he might be able to reach in with his fingers and touch the ball

Frankie slightly ahead of Nicole (Caleb and Christine still in the lead)

I am sorta shocked at Christine. I never would have expected her to do so well.

Caleb is talking to himself. "Push through, no pain, be safe this week, push through, no pain"

Caleb is definitely feeling it

Caleb "you got this. you got this. don't stop. don't stop. don't stop."

it almost sounds to me like Caleb is quoting/channeling a supportive drill sergeant he lived through at some point

Christine fell hard again. Christine: "That just knocked the wind out me!"

Caleb: "This is for my comrades, my fallen brothers, my mom, and my brothers."

"come on Reynolds, you don't need a break. Breaks are for sissies, come on Reynolds"

Derrick says that he wants a medic on standby with ice packs, ACE bandages, Icy Hot, and definitely a catheter

Frankie is probably around 1 inch of fill behind Christine. Nicole is around 4-5 inches behind

Damn they are gonna be hurtin tomorrow

they really are. for their sakes, I hope the veto comp is mental

otherwise, Cody could totally dominate it

Christine's

Frankie's

Derrick's has reached the top of the eyeballs on his prize/punishment container

They haven't shown us Caleb's but he is in the lead.

Derrick's almost there on the 5k

Derrick said he's not going to grab his until he "knows the rule" - not sure what he's talking about

Derrick took another hard fall. He's hurting. He's definitely fallen the most.

MatthewAnthony: he wants clarification on whether he can reach in and grab the ball or it has to be on the top.

giannaborgnine: interesting. they've ALWAYS allowed that in seasons past, and him being a "superfan", he should know that

Derrick only needs one or two more scoops for the 5k.

MatthewAnthony: agreed!

Christine just said to someone (maybe Nicole?): Dude, no one's going to vote you out because of the <couldn't understand>

Derrick's ball literally popped up.

Derrick is volunteering for Have-Not since he won $5k

Derrick grabbed his ball and officially won the $5,000 prize and the "5,000 holla" punishment.

Caleb: I'm going to need some Percocet and some muscle relaxers after this

I was hoping nicole would kick their asses

Frankie's

I honestly thought Nicole had a decent chance at this comp, but... I guess not

at this point, her best case scenario would be Christine winning

ewww

Yup

come on Nicole ;-;

Christine is up to the top of the eyeballs

haven't seen a shot of Caleb's from the face side in a long time, so I don't have a frame of reference

(as comparison, Nicole is still below the bottom of the eyeballs from a pretty good margin)

finally saw a close-up of Caleb's. he's slightly ahead of Christine

Frankie- Caleb, better hurry up. I'm catching up to your ass

Finally we get to see Caleb's! He's winning!

if Caleb wins, I think the most likely scenario is a Victoria/Nicole initial nom, with a Christine renom

Derek giving Caleb advice. "Takes a little more than you think. The hole is really small and you can't grab it."

The top 3!

Victoria, who has zero chance of winning, is still giving it her all.

Caleb reaching in for it but can't get it. Goes back for more liquid.

Caleb got his ball out

Caleb is the new HOH

Caleb has grabbed his ball and won HOH.

Caleb has said all season that he'll win any endurance comp they throw at him. he's now "2" for "2" (if you count the initial HOH comp, which most people threw and lasted about 7 minutes)

Caleb collapsed in the lane. Says his knee is killing him. Others hugging and congratulating him.

I'm off to bed. seems like this should be another pretty predictable week, Caleb has been all about having the largest alliance to ever reach the final 5

Ew.

MatthewAnthony: night!

MatthewAnthony: goodnight and ty!

Feeds back! Caleb has his knee wrapped and has an ice pack on it.

Caleb tells the guys that he will nominate Nicole and Christine.

St_Clinton: i am enjoying this group way more than the snorefest last year

Overnight, Cody said Christine could have grabbed her coal. After the comp was over she reached in and grabbed it right out.

Derrick and Frankie discussed the TA mission. Frankie said he thought this was a gift cause he's building schools. He thinks it was editing and that he's hated.

Frankie- Guess how many fucks I give...0. I'm going to be a superstar. Superstars are hated

Caleb got his HoH room. His letter was from his brother. He got 'Florida Georgia Line' for music. His family sent him his army cap and an American flag that flew over Baghdad.

Voice over house speakers: "Derrick....holla!" (It's part of the 5,000 dollas and hollas he won last night during the HoH competition)

Today, HGs are on outdoor lockdown. All 7 houseguests are outside talking. Caleb: "What do you think is inside (for have-not food)?" Frankie: "Not apple pie."

LD over. Have Not food is Snot Roast which is meat products, mushrooms, and garlic.

Derrick volunteered to be a Have Not and Caleb chose Nicole to be the other Have Not. Nicole is not happy.

Nicole says that she would have eaten earlier but didnt think that she would get picked to be a have-not two weeks in a row

Nicole is crying outside by herself. "You dont put someone on slop for two weeks. Frankie has only been on it once this entire game"

Frankie- Nicole has been in the jury house for a whole week. She got amazing food cooked for her. I dont give a shit. Shut up

Derrick to Caleb- When you get a second, I would talk to Nicole. She's upset

Nicole- Not crying cause I'm a have-not. I'm crying cause Frankie is so mean. He is just a mean person.

Nicole- They THINK that I am going home, but I am staying in this house

Frankie- Is she (Nicole) mad? Derrick- She's upset. Frankie- She better not come crying to me. Punch her in the face

I agree this season has had loads of drama. I'm enjoying it.

Caleb, Frankie, Cody, and Derrick are all telling Christine that she's going on the block. Caleb: "You're not going home."

Time for the nomination ceremony!

Frankie the superstar needs to GTFO

Poor Nicole

semi-related, but about a different show - are any of you watching Utopia? it's from the same guy who created Big Brother, but lasts a year and doesn't have a winner. the feeds just went live

feeds are back. Caleb nominated Nicole and Christine for eviction

MatthewAnthony: I plan on watching the show, but I don't know about the feeds yet.

giannaborgnine: nice thing on the Utopia feeds is that you can get limited access for free! and then paying for them is $5/month, so less than BB's

I hadn't heard of it but I will check it out.

MatthewAnthony: I've been watching. Interesting first night!

Overnight, the HGs got face and body paint, Play-Doh, beer and wine.

New Day
