Big Brother 16 — A Quick Update

by Lisa Marie Bowman on September 22, 2014

Hi y’all!

Well, I have once again been having laptop issues so I’m just going to make this update a quick one.  Luckily, we’re down to the final three and there’s never that much to report when the game gets to this point.  Everyone’s basically sitting around the house and waiting for finale night.

If you’ve been keeping up with the comments under the previous posts, then you already know this.  But, just to make sure everyone’s up-to-speed:

Cody won the first part of the HoH competition.

Derrick won the second part.

Cody and Derrick will face off in the third.

And Victoria is pretty much the third wheel.  Out of the running for HoH, her fate depends on whether or not she can convince Derrick or Cody to take her to the final two.  And, personally, I thought both of them would be planning to take Victoria just because they feel they can beat her.

However, both Cody and Derrick have told Victoria that they will not be taking her to the final two.  So, assuming that they are both telling the truth, then that means our final two on Wednesday will be Cody and Derrick.

Cody, I’m pretty sure, is telling the truth when he says that he’s not going to bring Victoria.  I’m still not totally convinced as far as Derrick is concerned.  I could easily see Derrick saying that he would take Cody to the final two just to try to get Cody to blow the final part of the HoH competition.  

But regardless, Derrick definitely has to be viewed as being the front-runner.  Cody might be able to get a vote from Christine but otherwise, I think most of the jury will be content to vote for Derrick.

Well, that’s it for now!

The finale is on Wednesday!  And so is Survivor!  Yay!

Can’t wait til Wednesday to see who takes it all and who wins America’s favorite player. Even though this year has been a bust because of Frankie, I still love the show and will watch next year if if comes back. Don’t watch Survivor or Amazing Race, so I will probable see you all next year hopefully. I don’t write much but I really enjoy all the comments that everyone makes.

I don’t think that Victoria will stop liking Derrick because he is a cop, she may not like him once she sees that he did not defend her against Frankie and the others. She may decide that she does not want to be friends with someone who can be like that. Will we may never know if they will end of being friends for life or not. But that is the way it goes.

A just ending to a crappy season. I have been a loyal supporter for 14 years and I am disgusted with the current production. This may be the end for me.

I didn’t like Derrick thru the most but he’s played a stand up game. can’t wait til the finally and I share it all on my fb pages and twitter. between the 2 there are several opinions as there’s a few million people there. Being a single mom I’m glad Derrick is in the finally for his family. And I don’t think he’s compromised his game as it’s big brother and once he entered the house he’s a player without his badge. love Cody as well. And props to Victoria for the free ride…

Don’t care about Wed. show, Julie well be all over Frankie like a flea on a dog. She’ll start out talking to him & she’ll still be talking one hour later to him. So not sure if I even care about watching it, I can look the next day & find out who won & who took the 25k. Frankie has it all in the bag. It would not shock me if Frankie stood beside Julie with his own mike & do the show for her.

Ralph September 22, 2014 at 5:47 pm

(Copied this over from yesterdays post. Didn’t realize an up to date for today had been posted, so here it is. The latest I heard)

Just found out that Derrick was so preparing for what the game would bring, he brought cigarettes to interact with other house-guests…but never used them, because no one smoked.
As far as game, believe it or not, Victoria is still trying to convince Derrick, to the point Production has to mention her name in the warnings…and she really doesn’t care at this point.
I’m not sure if BBAD will be a part of live tonight. I thought by now it would be a lot of tape and fishbowls.
There packing their bags, and getting ready for the BIG FINISH.
Both Derrick and Victoria are in the Fire Room (did the alarms ever go off in that room? Is there THAT final action coming? Just wondering).
Victoria mentions something about Production looking for her reaction after they told her something…and Derrick responds, ” I love you. You are so gullible.”
Victoria responds, “That is why people like to mess with me it’s so annoying.”
Derrick says, “It’s what makes you you.”
Victoria responds, “Gullible? That’s not a good thing.”
Derrick tells her, “That isn’t a bad thing…It just means you take what people say.”
Derrick tells her, “In my real life I don’t take bulls**t from people.” (Careful Derrick!)
Cody is outside jogging..or “Crushing it”, which seems to be the term for everything today…at least in the BB House.
That’s all (not much) for now. It seems to be winding down even more than yesterday.

Thanks Lisa Marie for getting us through this BB year. I’ll be back next year too because I’m a die hard fan. We can only hope that Grodner is gone and they get someone in there who goes back to the original BB game plan. I didn’t like the favoritism this year at all. Just because the contract states that BB can change at any time, it’s unconsionable to make changes favorable to one HG!

I’ll be happy when this is over and I hope Derrick wins and Frankie doesn’t. So ready for Survivor!

Lisa Marie – I was so happy when I got your first blog to start off this season…it seemed like winter was too long and the highlight was your notification that the fun was going to begin, then there was Frankie, who almost ruined the season for me. Thankfully we wont have to deal with him too much on Wednesday night. I am sad that your blog will be on break…again, but such is the circle of life. Thank you so much for keeping us informed – my husband and I have looked forward daily to your updates and truly apprecaite them and for the most part the opinions of 90% of your followers. All the best to everyone and I really hope to hear from you again for the next season! God bless! Terry

@Ralph, do you think Derrick may have been trying to tell Victoria something when he talked to her about being gullible? I want her in F2. I know, I know…a lot of people think she doesn’t deserve to be there because she’s a floater; I see floating as an acceptable strategy. Whatever a person’s strength is, they should use it to further themselves in the game and Vic has certainly done that–making Derrick her closest friend and having him carry her this far was a flawless strategy. Best of all, she hasn’t pissed anybody off in the jury by orchestrating their eviction. So I not only want her in F2, I think it would be blast if she actually won!!

Thanks LM for the wonderful blog and all the hard work you put in making it so. Hope to see everybody at the Survivor blog, though I didn’t post last year, I did read the posts regularly.

@LM..Ditto what everyone has said and hope you do a Survivor or AR or some other reality blog we can follow you with!!! A year is a LONG time to wait for another BB!! God, let’s hope it’s not so BLAH next season!!!!(Would ED consider a Vets reunion, ya think??)LOL

@Annie!!! There you are hon! I haven’t been on as much due to puter probs. lack of time and a little lack of interest, for like the 1st time EVER! But I had not seen your happy face around, even when I just read. I’d love to keep in touch. If you are interested, let me know if you are on FB and we can continue there . 😉

As for the finale, if you believe what comes out of anyone’s mouth, Derrick and Cody will be the F2. They liken themselves to Dan and Memphis, like blood brothers, and I think the Hitmen is akin the Renegades to them! In fame and hero worship!!

I do believe Cody is true blue to the end and doesn’t particularly like Vic. SO I don’t see him switching it up last minute.
But I do see Derrick doing ANYTHING to get his grubby little hands on that $500K. So dumping Cody for Vic would NOT surprise me at all!!! Not going to specualte, just waiting for Wed nite and to hopefully be surprised for once this season!!lol

I haven’t even watched BBAD for like the last 4 nites. My real life was MUCH more interesting . I tried to watch last nite and the ONLY sound on the TV was Vic SMACKING her lips as she ate her salad!!! It lulled me into a nice, long nap!!lol
I usually am lapping up every last second of BB this late in the season. Feeling abandoned and missing the HGS already. Not this year. I am over it , have been for awhile. I wish the last show was Tues so I could move on for real!!lol But I will be back next year. Not the first or the last BB gone bad. And hope..and addiction…springs eternal!!! 😉

@ LISA MARIE/ALL VETS – I’ve found this blog last year & joined this year. BB 16 is winding down so I have a question. It took awhile to find this blog this year, so I was wondering, will Lisa e-mail all members before BB 17, or should I “save” the link to this blog in a safe place so I can find it next year ? I apologize for my lack of knowledge, however, this is the first time I’ve ever been on a blog & just wanted to know. Thank you !

@ LISA MARIE/ALL BLOGGERS – A personal thank you to everyone for your comments, contributions, & opinions !! I’m sooooo going to miss reading them on a daily basis. This season left a lot to be desired, however, as long as I NEVER have to see Skanky-Franky on BB EVER again, I’ll probably continue to watch it, as I’ve never missed a season since BB began. Should BB 17 prove to be anything like this year, I’ll stop watching, but will continue to be a part of this blog. Stay safe & warm this winter. Wishing everyone a Happy Thanksgiving, a Merry CHRISTmas, & a very Happy New Year !!! 🙂 DONNY THOMPSON for AMERICA’S FAVORITE PLAYER !!!!

UPDATE EVERYONE !!!! I’m an Admin. of the Facebook Group – BBAD (Big Brother After Dark) – Please feel free to join BBAD Facebook Group. Our suspicions have been confirmed, as a member posted THIS about three hours ago:

MYSTERY SOLVED: Scooter Braun is the executive producer of the new CBS show, “Scorpion.” Scooter Braun is ALSO the talent manager who represents Ariana Grande and Justin Beiber!!! Frankie was a CBS PLANT!!! As suspected, CBS USED BB veiwers to promote their own agenda, while robbing BB16 houseguests of fair coverage and equal opportunities within the “game”! The conflict of interest is easily proven with simple internet searches of “Scooter Braun, CBS, BB16 and Julie Chen (wife of CBS Corporation’s president and CEO). CBS actions just proved to me, that this game has been rigged and they deliberately deceived viewers and houseguests, alike. I hope they do one right thing this season and remove Frankie from the AFP vote all together!

ARE WE SURPRISED ????

I always watch Amazing Race and Survivor. Derrick deserves to win but I’d like to see Victoria win just to stir it up, since it was virtually The Frankie Show and so biased and Frankie such a bastard to Victoria.

I find it troublesome that CBS knows that we know that BB is rigged and couldn’t care less. That’s a lot FU’s to people who watch the show for the originality that regular Janes and Joes can come up with. I understand bringing back certain fan favorites and past winners every once in a while but the primary premise was to put everyday people into a situation that made them think outside their conventional ideals of life. That is just not happening anymore in the few “reality” shows I watch. Now it’s all about fame. And not just because of Frank this season. Reality shows have been moving to this format for a while. Such a drag.
And the producers don’t give a damn because the kool-aid keeps getting guzzled.
Probably I’m a hypocrite because I will watch next season and am looking forward to Survivor and The Amazing Race but I am so jaded now. Nothing will ever be the same on BB after this joke of a season.
Donny winning Favorite Player is my only hope left.

Ralph September 22, 2014 at 10:04 pm

erie_angel ,
I really think that both Cody and Derrick want to leave the name ‘HITMEN’ as one of the best 2 person alliance. I actually believe the minutes Victoria is gone, they will post their name for future BB’s to see.
I also believe that Derrick is going to reveal PART of his secrets during the questioning, for both Donnie and Frankie to confirm and shock the other jury members, if they haven’t been told by now.
I would also love to see, if Derrick does win, do a quick change and walk out in his police uniform to shock all the jury members.
As far as a ‘plant’, if this is true, Big Brother will suffer in that act will taint any belief (are their more ‘actors’ and ‘actresses’ in this).

Ralph… (From previous posts) I wonder how Derrick would have explained having the cigarettes but not smoking them to the other guests?? Like Robert Redford in Spy Game where while training Brad Pitt he shoots down the need for high tech tools when really all a CIA agent needs is a pack of cigs. Derrick is a master manipulator and this is one tool he had to leave in his bag.

I’m guilty of cut and pasting a few updates from Joker’s mostly verbatim but I never changed any words however I did leave off one unrelated sentence. Being new to this blog I wasn’t sure how my posting updates would be received…like if it was annoying, or old news. Over time I came to realize that not everybody has the LF’s or BBAD and might enjoy reading what they might be missing. I was relieved when the updates were welcomed just as I appreciate yours. 🙂

@ Junksie – hmm………. my badddd !!!!! I obviously missed that posting. Had no idea my posting was “old news.” Perhaps a few others missed it too. JC2, Shayne, & Ralph commented on it.

@ ALL BB BLOGGERS – Junksies advised my posting was “old news.” My apologies for this post as I had no idea it was “old news.” Please forgive me for sharing “old news!”

@ Joan Dunn – please see post # 44 – it explains who Scooter Braun is & his affiliation with CBS/Arianna Grande !

J Renee’ … Oh my… Nor did I mean to make you feel like a big dummy either. I responded directly to you because you asked me specifically if I read your post, otherwise I would have, in my usual manner, skimmed over and not commented at its’ repetition. Not gonna keep beating this dead horse. I’m truly and sincerely sorry. 🙁

Jolee… I never criticize anybody’s information, especially not pointing out any duplicate information. I’m so glad you jumped to J Renee’s defense.

Eschatology!!! My absolute favorite subject for the past 40 years and I share my knowledge with all who will listen. That’s why I am so into current events and am amazed each day at the correlation between the front page of the newspaper and Bible prophesy. This is an exciting time, for me anyway, for I believe we are smack dab in the middle of the end times and I am waiting to hear that trumpet!! Yes, this is O/T and I suppose I’ve offended somebody else so I will apologize in advance. 🙂

Sir Rock September 23, 2014 at 2:34 am

@J Renne – I think we all had a strong feeling of the show becoming more rigged and used more to pad CBS’s bottom line (using BB to promote their own shows). I was surprised to find out that Scooter Brawn was affiliated with the new show Scorpion. I did know he was the manager of Beiber/Airana. Another guilty pleasure of mine is watching TMZ and I find out all the dirt of these little pop stars. I did some Googling on this and found this long post in the comment section of a BB spoiler page. The person who posted it, found it on Twitter and shared it. It’s pretty long, but they sent it to CBS, both of the main producers of BB, and Julie Chen. Worth a read….
——————————————————————————————————–
#BB16 Open Letter to @agrodner22, @CM_Roach, @CBSBigBrother @JulieChen

Greetings:)

As a longtime and devoted BB watcher, I have a few opinions I’d like to share. I hope you can find a moment to read this as I believe it represents the views of many. I began watching BB season 6 and have since seen every season, even going back to watch 1-5. Every. Single. Episode. I have had the live feeds since season 6, as well. I watch your show, helping to build your ratings, I buy the live feeds, I even buy merchandise from the Big Brother store! I am a “superfan” in every sense of the word. As such, I am starting to notice the lack of reciprocity in terms of “CBS love” for the fans. I give you my all and I am met with the most unfair twists and slants favored at specific houseguests. I understand there will be Diamond Vetos and Rewinds and other tricks to throw everyone off and hopefully keep the show fresh and interesting and yes, sometimes to keep production’s faves around just a little bit longer because they make good Television. What I do not understand is when there is so much cross-promotion which favors specific HG’s in outside votes like “America’s Favorite Houseguest” or “Team America.” It happened last season with Elissa (even though I grew to love Elissa), we could all see she had an enormous edge with Rachel’s fan base voting for her and this year, you really went over the top casting Ariana Grande’s brother who’s fan base far exceeds the total number of viewers of Big Brother…times three! If you’re going to have a Frankie or even an Elissa, wouldn’t it be more fair to discontinue the AFP vote? Frankie gets votes from people that don’t even watch the show. 12 year old “Arianators” are voting who don’t even know what Big Brother is. Ariana posts a link, and they lovingly and obediently oblige. There is literally no rationale that makes this fair. Believe me, I’ve tried to twist it every which way but this is completely ridiculous!

I understand there is a new CBS show, Scorpion, which is produced by Scooter Braun; who happens to be Ariana & Justin Bieber’s manager. You’d have to be an idiot not to put the pieces together, but since that is the reality, having contests like Team America and America’s Favorite Player takes other deserving houseguests totally out of contention. I wonder, if Scooter Braun had a child or a niece or nephew, wouldn’t they be ineligible to be on a CBS Reality Show with prize money involved? How is this different? It truly feels like one, big, incestuous, marketing ploy.

Do you care about the fans at all? It’s starting to feel as if you don’t. I hate to be snarky but when Arnold Shapiro was around, things just felt a little more balanced. He seemed to genuinely care about the fans and the quality of the game. There has been such a noticeable change in recent years and it’s upsetting when millions of people give up our time and money to support this show, (some have practically no life at all during the summer as such avid fans), and yet you treat us with no respect. It hurts, I can not lie.

I hope someone reads this. I know it probably won’t make a difference but you need to know, this is not a single voice. Many, many fans feel this way. I know it’s a game, it’s not that serious, but “at the end of the day” without the fans, you do not have a show. We’ve given you our respect by giving you the ratings you so richly enjoy. It would be fantastic if you gave us a little back.

Thanks for reading. Please RT if you agree.

XO,
Jen

I will feel sad when the end of BB ends this blog until BB17. I have made some good friends here this year and that is a blessing to me.

Looking forward to Wednesday night, BB being over and getting on with my life! 🙂

@ LM, I am going to miss reading the blog I have enjoyed it so much and it helps me out because I did not get the LFs this year. Actually have not in a few years. Hoping to next year but depends on the group after these last 2 seasons I really hope they dont pick a worse bunch. Thank you so much for all you do. And have a nice and safe 9 months.
I will miss you and everyone else here.

I had suspected something was going on with CBS and the Grande family. But was not 100% what it was. Thank you for the info.
Now I know why CBS made this summer so miserable.
I remember Chima (I think that was her name) getting ejected for refusing to do what production told her so I wondered WHY did Frankie get away with the comment he did.

NOW I have to wonder if I will watch CBS at all anymore even for some of my favorite shows.

@junksies…just finished reading the previous page…got a little behind over the weekend!! And was about to thank your for your post saying you missed ME posting. And then I see you have started conspiracy theory about me!! LOL Actually, I am flattered because I think LM is a very good writer, something I always aspired to be , but also one cool chick!! 😉 But let me assure you that we are not one and the same!!lol
My computer problems lately have been more linked to my internet provider, who we are chaning this week, and those stupid Window Updates that MADE me upgrade to 8.1! It caused alot of problems, making me totally redo my puter settings, erasing my Kapersky anti-virus and then almost GIVING Me a virus that piggy-backed in on it!!! My computer,per se, is fine. It’s just all the people.companies and tech stuff surrounding it and they are driving me cray cry!!lol
Also, this year has just been a bummer for me, as for every true fan. I was having alot of trouble getting into and couldn’t find anything new to write about lately that someone else already hadn’t. There are alot of new bloggers on here seems like just lately and my posts didn’t seem to be needed. Also, I am missing all my old friends who used to blog here for years and jsut quit this year. As nice as everyone here is, sometimes I look around and I feel like I am in the wrong blog!!! PLUS my life is just crazy busy right now, so I just kind of dropped out. Not that you asked for all this. Prolly TMI!!! 😉 But thanks for keeping my name on here anyway!! 😉

I don’t vote for anything on TV. I think it’ stupid. And awaste of time nd sometimes money if thye make you text. I could care less who wins AFM. I don’t even think it should be a THING! And I can’t remember who saidit, Sir Rock maybe?? But I otally agree that it doesn’t make any sense for people to get multiple votes. That is one reason I don’t bother. I might vote once but not 20 times!! Anyway, that has been a main topicc of chat on here and another reason I wasn’t posting .

J Renee’,…I hadn’t really heard any hard proof that CBS was working with Frankie, so that was news to me. We all suspected it, of course. I hate it when people with money and power think they are smarter than the people that they are providing a service to or trying to get something from them. What condescending A$$holes!! But they own the network and the show …so unless we boycott…which we won’t…there really isn’t much we can do about it. And that really ticks me off! I’m not really upset with Frankie. HE saw an opportuity and took it. It’s the people that took advantage of him we should be mad at!!!

Kind of sad watching BBAD tonight. Everyone is getting nostalgic over this being their last night in the BY. 1s non-boring BBAD in quite awhile.lol And STILL nothing to write home..or even here..about!! 😉

Ralph September 23, 2014 at 10:13 am

The only ‘game’ that is going on now, is Derrick trying to make himself look like less of a threat to Cody. Here is how that is going:
Derrick and Cody have been playing pool for a while…and eventually it turns to who they think (strategy) has the votes…
Derrick says, “I’m screwed for Nicole and Hayden’s jury votes. You think I have the edge.. you have the edge. You absolutely have Donny’s vote. He worships the ground you walk on…That dude just didn’t like me.”
Derrick continues, “Whatever happens, happens. We’re both decent speakers.”
(They agree that the jury’s mind is already made up. They just have to go in there and give their best speech and let it happen).
Derrick says, ” Even if you think Caleb is for me I think he’s for you. Both Caleb and Christine can go wither way.”
Cody says, ” Caleb will know we were working together, and find out he was getting screwed no matter what”
Derrick looks at Cody, ” I love you dude… Whatever happens happens.. If you get the 500K over me, I know it’s not because you were a better speaker.. it was predetermined.. If I get the 50 thousand I know I lost to my beast friend in the house.” (obviously Derrick is still in game mode to make sure Cody takes him, if he loses).
(They agree they would never had made it so far without each other. They go over past years votes)
Victoria finally joins them and says, “I can’t sleep.”
Cody tells her, “You were only in bed for 10 minutes… give it more of a chance.”
Victoria responds, ” I hate laying there alone” (She’s not dumb. She’s got to know the less she is around the, the more chance they will not backdoor one another, which she is still hoping for. Cody even said, “She can pray all she wants.”)
…Time goes by…
(they all realize that lock-down will come very soon, and spend the last time, the three of them, just recalling everything at once that happened in that back yard. Good times and bad).
Victoria heads to bed, and Derrick and Cody meet up in the in the backyard for the last time…
Cody starts: ” I was going to say bye BB backyard”
Derrick responds, “This is just nuts man.. we’re fortunate in a lot of ways at least we got to do this… Christine, Caleb and Frankie they thought they were staying and it flipped on them. WE get to go out the way we want to go out.”
Cody says, “Take this all in for the last time.. ”
(Derrick is interested in seeing what production is going to do to the backyard), “They need the whole time the full 36 hours who knows what they are going to do!”
Derrick says, “We’re the last ones to play pool on that pool table.”
Cody, “Yup!”
Cody says, ” last ones on the hammock.”
Derrick says, “You’re the last one on the weight bench>”
Cody responds, “Yeah, you see what I wrote on it.. somehow I’m hoping the sun comes up and burns into it.. obviously that won’t happen but it would be nice…It’s sad man.”
Derrick responds, “It is sad.. It’s tough we have so much to look forward to these next 2 days.”
(Derrick says they are going to sleep in tomorrow until 12 1 o’clock put in a 12 hour day and go to bed a little earlier)
Cody says, “We’ll clean the entire house tomorrow.”
They take one final look…and Cody says, “Thanks it for the memories.. This has been unreal GOODNIGHT!”
So now, from what I understand, they are locked out of the backyard for the rest of the BB, except the final comp.
So, there you go. They say their going to keep their mind off things in a massive house cleaning…but does BB have something else planned…A final TWIST…PANDORA’S BOX?…HMMMM????…or just Cody pulling his hair out as Victoria sniffles, whines, groans and says, It’s not fair!”

Just one comment for now: If you want to say fuck on this blog you can definitely say it. There are no profanity police here nor are there any editors. Just sayin! This is an open blog and if you washed you child’s mouth out with soap today, you would probably go to jail according to what I just heard on the news about child abuse. Now that’s ridiculous but saying fuck is not and it’s your right without being criticized for it.

As much as you say this is a open blog. I have my opinions as well. When I read or hear that word my spirit cringes.

I have to agree with Jeanne on the “F” word. It has rarely been used on this year’s blog. When it is used, the two middle letters are left out. For some reason this does not offend me because I can more easily skip over it. It’s just when the word is ” out there” it’s something we’re not used to seeing. Since this is an open blog, it’s true you can say whatever you want, but I like to think the people on this blog Have been very respectful to us ” older” generation. I have really enjoyed this blog this year, made a lot of friends I will be staying in touch with. We only have one more day here and I want to enjoy it. I hope you all understand that this comment comes from a place of affection for ALL of you here. <3

I am going to very respectfully ask that we end this discussion about the F word right now, because all it is going to do is lead to fighting and hurt feelings before the finale of Big Brother.

As I’ve said before:

1) There is no censorship on this blog.

2) Everyone can say whatever they want in whatever way they want to say it.

3) If someone says something that offends you, I’d suggest just ignoring them.

We’ve all got different opinions and different ways of expressing ourselves. Myself, I’m just glad the every single one of you is here! Thank you for reading and commenting and helping us to get through this occasionally difficult season of Big Brother! 🙂

JC 2, I never intend to make you feel like you are censored on here, but I do believe in censorship. For example, on tv, they are not allowed to use profanity. They actually have a 5 second delay so they can “bleep” out the profanity. I don’t have HBO or other stations because they don’t censor. I don’t judge those who don’t mind the use of profanity. Freedom of speech is one of the blessings we have as Americans, but you don’t yell “FIRE” in crowded room! 🙂 Jeanne and I have enjoyed being a part of this blog and we don’t want the last two days to be filled with discord.

Just misc stuff:
Lisa Marie…How long do your posts and our comments stay up after bb16 ends?

I read that the live feeds stay up until 10/8. Is that true and what the heck would be aired for anybody to view?

Is there one site, perhaps even sponsored by CBS, where we can keep up with current info on former house quests? I’m most curious if former guests really do stay in touch and visit each other.

I keep forgetting to say how much I disliked the ugly décor of this season with the exception of the HOH balcony. 🙂

They say all good things must come to an end and sadly, this blog is no exception. I’ve really enjoyed all of you so very much and hope that everyone returns for bb17.

J Renee’… O/T I was forced into early retirement for health reasons and that’s why, like you, I have no real schedule either which is both a blessing and a curse. I rescued a stray dog that became #6 in my pack and after seeing the vet I found that she is a Shar Pei mix, much to my surprise because she has NO wrinkles…!!!… so now…I’m trying a name change from Lola to Botox! 🙂 She’s very smart but a handful and I’m looking to find a good home for her… 6 dogs are way too many! Looking forward to keeping in touch. Holla!

Profanity isn’t for me, and I did tone down the verbiage I posted for that reason, but the facts and the strategy, in my opinion, isn’t a part of that.
I’ve censored, in the past, with a simple **, and tried to bring across the gaming more than all the talk.
I love to write, especially about stories and parables of the Bible (I realize, not a place for that here), but I just don’t see a need for it, though a realize it can be a form of intimidation used by players…this season wasn’t that direction, except for Zack…and I have a feeling, if we saw a lot that was edited, we wouldn’t really like him as much. Just my opinion. I also feel the same way about how they toned down Frankie, even in the article that talk about nothing more than called ‘controversial actions’…Wow! Didn’t they water that down!

…getting back to BB, I hope they pull one more twist, you know, the kind that makes you stick around in a movie theater just to see if something BIG happens during the ‘credits’ rolling. I just have a strange feeling Pandora’s Box might show up.
Will BBAD be live tonight? Are they going to pull a ‘credit’ twist that makes us twist and turn?….”It’s not faaaaair”….Sorry, channeled what Victoria is probably thinking right now.
Later

junksies, I am also a dog lover. I love the name! 🙂 I would love to see what a botoxed Shar pei looked like. 🙂

I have enjoyed your comments on this blog and I intend to stay in touch with all of the friends I have made during this BB16 season. This has definitely been the best part of the season. Looking forward to tomorrow’s show, but not the end of this blog for another year. God bless!

Star… Being a newbie I have no personal experience with the past blogger friends to which you refer but I hear your sadness and yearning for times past. 🙁 I can’t help but wonder how it is so different (other than missing specific people)…? That’s rhetorical, no need to explain. I can tell that you are very much loved by all on this blog so be happy happy happy!

You and Lisa being a “onesie” was actually planted in my head by another blogger but I can’t recall who. Nah…you two are one-of-a-kind!

I learned my lesson to ignore windows updates and experienced a similar nightmare when I installed a new printer. It took two full months to fix the domino effect of the update and the new hardware. Last weekend the news warned that there were solar flares that may affect technology….humm…? Glad you got yours fixed and are back with us!!

I don’t vote either, not even for the TA missions, but I did for AFP for Donnie’s sake.

Money and power…unfortunately that’s what makes the world go around. It’s fun to peer into that circus from where I stand – happily poor, sorely impotent, but blessed.

Have other house guests been * this* sentimental about leaving the show? It’s kind of touching to read the attachment to the duck and the backyard…

Ralph, I always enjoy your in-depth comments about BB. I look forward to them because I don’t have the live feeds or BBAD. I would love to read your parables of the Bible. My niece published a book of poems based on stories from the Bible. I edited it for her. It is actually for sale on Amazon. Keep on blogging as long as you have access to BBAD. Thank you! 🙂

I am so disappointed in Julie Chen. I read the interview with her and not one word was mentioned about Frankie’s bad behavior. Does that tell us something? Our opinions do not mean a hill of beans to BB, CBS, Julie Chen, etc. etc.

erie_angel September 23, 2014 at 3:28 pm

Thanks for the links to the articles.

I think Julie Chen is wrong on her assessment of the facts. There was a herd mentality this season–what with all the votes being 10-0, 9-0, etc., etc. I also think saying there was no controversy was a lie on her part. Frankie should have been called out on his fondling and sexual aggression toward the other male HG and especially on his attempt to get Cody and Caleb to “double team” poor Victoria. I am glad Julie said that Victoria told them her strategy would be to get other people to do everything for her; it proves I was about Vic all along and she should win because she got the most powerful player in the game to drag her to the end.

I just wanted to say thanks for the links from Ginny and Junksies. Very interesting reading. You had to know that Frankie would definitely have center stage again. I’m so disappointed in Julie. Joyce, I doubt that anyone in any kind of authority position will ever say anything about Frankie’s disgusting comments and behavior. I was also interested in the story about Ariana and her Mom tweeting for Zach to receive votes. I doubt that it is because he was Frankie’s flame but you never know. Could Frankie have gotten info out to them that he wanted Zach to win? I know he shouldn’t have but I question if he is getting WAY favored treatment that way.

It sounds like there is still a chance that Victoria will make it to the final 2. I honestly hope not. She shouldn’t honestly be there now except they needed her and figured she would never beat them if it came to that.

Again, thanks everyone for the information and the updates. I appreciate them very much. Tomorrow night it will all be done. Then we can start talking about what we disliked so much and OUR suggestions for next year even though nobody cares but us. LOL

I don’t think Julie Chen would be able to really voice her opinion on Frankie, being she’s a CBS employee and bound by rules. She wouldn’t do or say anything that would make her husband look bad either.

Lisa Marie Bowman September 23, 2014 at 3:42 pm

I’ve always had my doubts about just how much Julie Chen actually pays attention to what’s going on in the house. As opposed to someone like Jeff Probst or Phil from the Amazing Race, I’ve always got the feeling that Julie mostly shows up, says what she has to say during the live shows, and, for the most part, is kind of detached from what is actually happening in the house. Just from reading the interview with her in The Hollywood Reporter, it really sounds like, if she has watched this season, she was still watching a totally different show from the rest of us.

Starfish September 23, 2014 at 3:51 pm

Lisa Marie, I think the reference was referring to me because I said something about the profanity police.

That said, 🙂

We lost some of our blogger friends last year because of the same kind of manipulative, bullying behavior by the same people. It has nothing to do with censorship, it has to do with bullying and chastising us and using ones age and grandchildren to manipulate us to speak as they wish. If you don’t like someone’s language, ignore it or go somewhere else. We don’t need to hear every dang time how old you are and that you have grandchildren, etc. etc. etc. ad nauseam. I’m no spring chicken and I have grandchildren but this is the 21st century and this is a blog, not a tea party! nuff said

Next year, I sure hope to see some of you great bloggers who came to us this year.

Star, so happy your puter is better. 😆 Hey Bob, thank you!

LM, I hadn’t really thought about it but after reading your post, I started thinking back and I agree with your comment about Julie being kind of oblivious. Just didn’t quite pick up on it. I think she is just filling the role of hostess. I also think she was quite taken by Frankie and his flamboyance and gushing over her. That’s not necessarily a fault but her reaction was so different than with other people voted out. Hmmmm.

the finale is wed night at 9:30 eastern after the 90 min first Survivor. Wed 9/24/14

I wish Donny could be on the Price is Right since he mentioned it so much. also he will only get scale=about $500 unless he has 5 lines or more, per show on Bold n beautiful.

I’d like to see both or either Caleb and Hayden on Survivor and Hayden and Nicole on Amazing Race depending how their relationship continues. good day everyone.
