Big Brother 16 — No News Is Good News

by Lisa Marie Bowman on September 13, 2014

Hi, everyone!

Well, if you’re not a fan of Frankie’s, the good news today is that there is no news.  All this season, we’ve been complaining about how, after the veto ceremony, everyone would just stop playing and strategizing until it was time to vote and then they would all vote for the same person.

That odd passivity really worked out pretty well for Derrick and Frankie for most of this game.

But, this week, that passivity is Frankie’s downfall.  He did not win the veto, Derrick and Cody have already decided that they want to evict him, and that’s that.  Frankie has not made a deal with anyone.  Cody has not had a change of heart.  Derrick has not been overthinking the situation.  Even Victoria is playing it smart by keeping her mouth shut and not doing or saying anything that could make her into the target.

What’s really strange is that Frankie still doesn’t seem to understand that he’s the target.  Oh, don’t get me wrong.  He’s worried.  Anyone on the block at this point in the game would be worried.  And he’s still really mad that Caleb nominated him.  He’s been going on and on about it ever since the nominations were announced.  He’s even declared that he’s not going to call Caleb “Beast Mode” anytime.

But Frankie still seems to think that Victoria is going to be heading to the jury house on Tuesday.

Unfortunately, Derrick, Cody, and Caleb have been saying that they’re going to sit Frankie down before the show and tell him the truth.  So, Frankie will not be truly blindsided.  And, since Frankie is going to be evicted on Tuesday, we will not get to see it live.  And the audience will probably be made up of CBS employees so, sadly, we won’t get to hear him booed when he steps out the door.

(And no, Julie will not ask him about his rape comments.)

I imagine Ariana will probably be in the audience.  She’s the only reason that Frankie got into the house in the first place so I’m sure CBS won’t pass up another chance to try to promote her.  

Speaking of Ariana, after Frankie lost the veto, she and her family got pretty quiet on twitter.  No new hashtags from the Grandes.

But anyway, for now — no news is good news!

Lisa Marie

P.S. As for who is going to go home on Wednesday’s show — it’ll probably be Caleb.  Though he doesn’t realize it, he’s in a bad position because he can’t play for HoH.  While Caleb’s been enjoying the HoH bedroom, Cody, Derrick, and Victoria have become a pretty tight group of three.

P.P.S. I think it’s pretty clear right now that Derrick is on track to win this entire game.  If he’s in the final two with either Cody or Victoria, he’ll win and I’m not sure that either Cody or Victoria is smart enough to realize this.

LM, thanks again for the great “no news is good news” update. That’s great news! 😀 I hope it plays out exactly as you have laid it out! Too bad we won’t be able to see Frankie’s eviction live.

I’m happy Frankie on the block has quieted the Grande family. What I don’t understand is what does CBS have to do with Ariana Grande? Do they own her contract or one of their subsidiaries own her contract? What’s the connection? She must be a property of theirs somehow.

Bob, your comment on the previous page stating Frankie thinks we, America, will love him because we understand him, is delusional thinking on his part. That boy needs some serious psychotherapy. Maybe they can bring in Dr. Phil.

Macy and Starfish – you make me chuckle. Frankie does need a lot of help. Dr. Phil would send him to away for a month or more. I can’t remember the name of the centers.

It will be good to see Frankie go. It amazes me that on other blogs some people think Caleb is one of the best players. Amazing….he has come up with a few good plans but in general he’s terrible as he’s blabbing his mouth to Cody and Derrick making himself a huge target. Well, soon enough he’ll be gone too.

What an exit that would be and it would make BB history which is what Frankie wanted all along. He could twirl, and do his Broadway smile, clap and cry while springing and prancing out the door.

Frankie Frankie Frankie .. you silly silly boy. Always admiring yourself in the mirror or your reflection in the camera lens which you position yourself directly in front of every opportunity you get & turning every one of those times into an another opportunity to perform (audition?), Reassuring yourself that America loves you, is on your side and understands how you feel and so will resent those other mean boys who would dare to put their beloved Frankie on the block – do they not know who you are??? none other than the very famous Ariana Grande’s brother!!????? how could they POSSIBLY have anything but idol worship for you and feel nothing but starstruck! Do they not know that the entire world is watching??? and only for the purpose of cheering on their beloved Frankie??? is there something n the air that they don’t get it you wonder?? cuz there must be some mistake! Well actually no sweetie,, you see it’s YOU that is sadly mistaken. Truth being America can’t take anymore of you! and can’t wait to see your wiggly little behind, batting eyelashes, pink electrified hair and pouty collagen filled lips wiggle on out the door to where we all HOPE you will come to realize you need some very serious counseling for self obsession & delusions of grandeur. We hope you get the help you need Frankie because extremely needy and attention seeking people sometimes go into a very deep and dark depression if for any reason they don’t feel completely loved and the center of attention. Some even commit suicide because it’s just too much for them .. which of course we would not wish on anyone – not even you Frankie. We just want you to cool it, knock it off, stop performing for the cameras and telling us how much we love you because you know how America thinks and we no longer want to see you groping the straight men in the house which clearly makes them all uncomfortable but they don’t want to hurt your itty bitty feelings. So Frankie when you leave the house.. PLEASE seek some psychiatric help for your own sake .. (and ours ..)

I’m not a huge Frankie fan either, but I don’t understand why everyone is so intent on booing him. I’m not sure any of the house guests perceive how they are being viewed on the outside, and I think they try to be a bigger, more dramatic version of themselves. In the beginning, Frankie was very entertaining and made the show a lot of fun to watch. He was also pretty popular with the other house guests. He made a huge error in judgement by going on about how popular he thinks he is outside of the show, but so does Caleb. He will find out soon enough when he watches all the feedbacks, as will the other guests who weren’t audience favorites. Without them, though, there would be no drama.

The funniest thing I find about all of this. Until Frankie got in the house I had never heard of Arianna Grande. My kids watch youtube all the time they have never heard of him either. They are both nobodys here in a few years (since she was on a disney show)
I predict another Miley Cyrus. Too much fame too much fortune and no brains.
After all she is half way there since the icloud was hacked and the nude photos from HER phone were released (oh yea they are not of here) YEAH RIGHT. They are fake then why have them on a storage device on your phone. Anyone who believes that is as stupid as her and Frankie.

CBS is making sure to put him out on a taped eviction so he has no clue how hated he is.
And keep the Grande family stupid like they already seem to be – all money no talent no brains.

A taped show means we dont get what we have waited all summer for him getting booed.
Shame on CBS for leaving him in there after the comments.
There were a lot of shows on CBS I have loved and was going to watch another season of but I have to reconsider. Which is awful since they are ruining their pay check over some nasty freak show loser.

I Knew who Ariana was, they play her songs all the time on the radio in LA like every hour.
Good for her.

Frankie, that’s another story. He’s a real del important gross diva

About the game, why is not live ? for the eviction?

I know Frankie will know when he gets to JH that they don’t care for him just like Crustine.

The JH doesn’t pretend they don’t care anyways.

@Mary Price – Ariana Grande has had a singing career for a little while now. She was on a TV show too. Big star? NO but young kids know her. She was also on the a few music award shows. She won an award for best newcomer or something like that. She’s had a couple songs on the charts too. She has been compared to Mariah Carey with similar octave range. So even though she isn’t world known especially by older people, she does have a legit talent. Frankie too has talent. You don’t get cast in a Broadway show without being good. Not surprised anyone would know him from being a Broadway dancer. With all that being said, their arrogance and conceit is overwhelming, a huge turn off and very unlikable.

Despite his talent, I still would love to see and hear the boos upon his exit but we’ll have to imagine what they would have been since CBS chooses to save him from that embarrassment.

The dates I have say the “Live Eviction Show” will be on Wed. Sept 17 but I have no idea what changed to Tuesday or why. Lisa Marie, do you know? Julie said something about changing dates but I didn’t pay much attention unfortunately. Maybe football but there’s no football out here (Ca) that I see for Weds night.

I don’t think they knew Frankie would be on the block though. It is unfortunate we can’t see his eviction live. Bleh The good thing is that he will be evicted. I’m just looking forward to Survivor and AR plus the show Utopia is shaping up to be a good watch.

Janetmb, Frankie’s hugh error in judgement about how popular he is, is not why most of the BBBloggers dislike him. It’s the foul things he said, which I won’t repeat here, but he should never have been allowed on the show after that. IMHO he should have been called to the Diary Room, escorted out of the house and sent home to his family to deal with. I think CBS is doing us a disfavor by not letting the people express just how they feel about his action in the BB house. I can only hope he will learn how we feel at the finale. “Hope still dwells in the human heart!” Night all! Sweet dreams! <3

Lisa Marie Bowman September 14, 2014 at 12:34 am

Junksies, Starfish, and anyone else who might be wondering:

The feeling I get is that the reset button was a sudden thing that they came up with to either try to make the game more interesting or — if you’re into conspiracies — to try to protect Frankie. I don’t think they planned it out ahead of time, nor did they consider that they wouldn’t have enough time to redo the week in one night like they had said they were going to do earlier.

So, once they realized that they weren’t going to be able to evict anyone last Wednesday, they had to set up an extra eviction for this week. So, that’s why Frankie is going to be evicted on Tuesday. If the reset button hadn’t been pushed then they would already be down to the Top Four and they wouldn’t have to evict anyone on Tuesday.

As for why it’s not live — actually, a lot of the evictions aren’t live. The vote and the eviction will be pre-recorded and often times, if the HG is controversial, they’ll fill the audience with CBS employees. just to keep things under control. They do this in case somebody goes crazy in the house and refuses to leave or whatever.

For instance, I know that Devin’s eviction was pre-recorded. Zach’s may have been as well, I can’t remember for sure.

As for the booing, they actually try to keep the audiences from booing or, whenever the audience does start to boo, they’ll often turn off their microphones so it can’t be heard. They allowed us to hear Aaryn get booed because Aaryn was so unpopular. When Christine got booed, I think it literally caught everyone off guard. But you’ll notice that when Christine got booed they cut away to inside the house for quite some time and I think they were telling the audience to be quiet and making a few people leave during that time.

I, for one, am glad they aren’t serving alcohol to those juvenile HG’s who go crazy when they drink. I have experienced what alcohol can do to a family. Drinking in moderation is fine, but when drinking brings out the kind of behavior we witnessef with Frankie and others, I think for once, production did something right. I will be glad to see him go. I already signed off tonight,but couldn’t let this one pass without responding. I respect all of you very much and I know we don’t always agree,but we can happily agree to disagree! 🙂 nite!

Well, lets hope it all goes to plan and Frankie leaves the house on Tuesday. Too bad he won’t know just how much he is disliked because of who he is and the comments he made. Maybe at the live final show, the fans that are there can boo him when Julie introduces him when she calls out all the jurors. I would hope that Julie would say something to what he did say in the house just like she did with Aaron last season. But probably won’t. Go figure.

Lisa Marie,
Thank you for the in depth explanation about the live eviction show, or lack thereof. It makes sense that production would deploy this method to keep control of an ousted potentially problematic house guest, but I resent the fact that we, the hard core BB fans, are being deprived the pleasure of seeing and hearing the *real* reaction by a *real* audience to Frankie’s departure. Again, thanks, you’re the best.

Well here is one thing CBS can not control. When Frankie gets home he will be all over the internet youtube to talk to his followers, twitter, facebook (and whatever else is out there. Then he will know exactly what we all think of him. So we know he will see all of it.
From what I have been reading all over the place the Grande family especially his sister has gone silent. They know that no matter the power they think they have can shut us all up on what we think of him. And something he is too immature (by brains not his age) I wanted to say that before I get ripped that not all people his age are immature . I was way more mature then him when I was 13. ANYWAY, that how he acts what he says and does is a DIRECT BLOW to his family because people are going to look and think WOW if he is like this what is the rest of his family like if he is this nasty.
I know I watch the show to see how people react to being locked up away from their loved ones for 3 months. But how they act by the pressures of the house is one thing. BUT when you look at Frankie and the way he views himself I can just tell this is not just the house this is how he is in the REAL WORLD outside of the house.
I feel sorry for anyone who has to put up with him in the real world.
I know a few gay men and I am proud to say even they are disgusted by his behavior.
One of them told me “he makes all gay men look bad & MOST of us are NOTHING like that” I have been to their homes and met their partners and NONE of them are a Frankie THANK GOD or I just could not be friends with them.

@ LM, thank you for your wonderful insight every year. I am so glad I found this I cant remember when it was but reading the blog everyday and reading what all the people say in here is really nice for me. I dont get the live feeds I got them for a few years but I choose to watch the CBS showings for a few weeks to see if I want to invest my money into it. I also dont have BBAD since they went off showtime a few years ago and TVGN was censoring it. I dont believe in censorship. But reading your take on things and the views of the people who watch the LFs & BBAD is great for me. THANK YOU again LM.

@ THE COMMENTORS on here thank you so much for telling us about the LFs & BBAD too. I love reading all your comments everyday and your views too.

When the season is over I will miss all of you BUT I will be back next year.
I have been reading this the blog for years now but all of you have made me feel so comfortable that I have posted this year and A LOT. Thank you all for making me feel so welcome.

@ Sylvie & Janice (sorry I forgot to put this in my last post) Thank You for your info about Ariana. I live in Ohio and had not heard of her until Frankie was talking about her & the 4th of July thing Macys had.
I usually listen to Country Music sometimes I go to Pop. mostly I like Country and Rock.
I knew she had a show like Miley Cyrus did on Disney (I think) but my kids are grown
g 25, g 21, b 19, & b 18. I do know my oldest son heard her on a stationa nd turned her off I asked who it was and he told me. but that was just a few weeks ago.
Again TY for giving me the info on her.

Hope everyone has a GREAT Sunday.

@ Jolee
@Mary Price

Would be fun to go , I am sure they would tell us NO PHONES.
But who cares, I would be ok with that.

About Frankie looks like is good on Broadway he should stick to that, don’t think he’s own reality show is his future.

Remember when Meow Meow had dreams of being a favorite and their season was the best ever

Talk about ego !

Mary P. So nice that you’re posting and doing it often. 🙂 Regarding the Grande family, I would hope that the side of Frankie shown on the show is a side they didn’t see or if they did, it was rarely. I too have many gay friends and they all agree, he’s very far on the dark side. His family might have an inkling but I doubt they’d believe he would embarrass them on national TV like that. If he was my son, I would be furious at him to behave in such a manner, no matter what your sexual preferences are. I doubt he treats them like he treats “normal” people (as he calls them). If he does, they should slap his lips off. 😆

junksies & sylvie, I do hope you make the show. I’m about 1-1/2 hours from LA but rarely fight that traffic if I don’t have to. I know we are all looking forward to your feedback should you make the “live” show. The audience is live but the show may not be. Oh, I crack myself up.

@ Mary Price, I happen to be a country music lover too but I watch the awards show or have them on while I do whatever around the house and happened to see when they gave her an award. Before that show, I never heard of her either. I imagine CBS thought Frankie being so flamboyant would make for good tv but it really kicked them in the butt.

@Sylvie & Junksies I hope you get to go to the show. I would imagine it would be interesting to see first hand on production instructs the audience.

@LisaMarie, how does signing up for the BBlivefeeds support this blog? Is this blog affiliated with the show?

@Starfish
I forgot where you are , south right?

With this heat driving on our freeways is no fun even with AC
But not complaining, I am envisioning wearing a pink top so I can be spotted 🙂

Then running or limping to my car to give feedback in my hot car parked at some street meter for hours what Julie preps her speech or does her hair.

And then being really happy about my contribution!

Am I America’s Favorite? Oh wait that Caleb

I heard Frankie is practicing his VETO speech:
“If you use the veto on me Derrick will be the replacement nominee.. which is great because he is a really good father figure and husband .. and a general good guy ..there’s that.. basically he’s never been on the block before so use it on me.”

And heard that Vic and Cody got in a shaving cream fight last night. Frankie called it ‘flirting.’

@Ralph…..Thanks for the Great news. NOW I can breathe!!! LOL!! Now let’s hope that CBS doesn’t come up with another “unexpected” debacle to ruin it. (I would not be surprised if they did!!)

I hope that the guys know what they’re getting into by telling him Tuesday that he’s going to jury!!! He is going to have a hissy fit and will do ANYTHING to change it!! I can see him telling Caleb..”You can HAVE MY SISTER if you only keep me!!” He’ll say ANYTHING to stay so I hope they know what they’re doing. I’d just let him be surprised….like Christine!! LOL

I think it’s cute when Cody and Victoria hang out…..at least she’s not married!! The only person that doesn’t like it is Frankie…..he really needs to get over himself. IMHO!!!

Just checking around on the internet, others are saying that Caleb just told Derrick he is tired of Frankie touching his butt.
Someone else posted that Caleb and Derrick were talking, and Derrick put on the theatrics, as Victoria joined them, and Caleb told Derrick he has always been honest with Frankie and would tell him he’s going. This was after Derrick told Victoria, in front of Caleb, “I know that we aren’t on the best terms right now but I am telling you .. you have my vote this week. He is going home. Just don’t stir up anything with him.” Victoria supposedly said back to derrick, sheepishly, “Thank you. ”
Then, the person watching, and paying for the live feed, said Frankie came in. That is all they said.
Back to football!

Another disappointing football game, so I checked in to see if anything big is happening at Big Brother. It seems there is something brewing. It seems trying to get alone has only worked through Victoria and Derrick, and Derrick has given marching orders for Victoria to stay close to Frankie. Since she is also on the block, this cover works.
Here is the latest:
Caleb and Derrick are out in the backyard setting up a pool game but its too hot. Derrick says he knows Frankie is just trying to find reasons to be saved. Caleb says It’s not going to change his mind…but why would he have anything to do with what only Cody and Derrick has control over? Derrick and Caleb are talking, and Derrick makes the comment< "Watch, he’s going to come out here in any minute", and Frankie does join them. Derrick and Caleb head inside. Derrick, wants to blindside Frankie and says, "It boils my blood! Distrust and disloyalty! We should just blind side him and send him out in his shorts! Cody already wants to blind side him any ways. Let him sit there in his shorts and a t-shirt with Julie!"
Caleb replies, "He said to me that me putting him my on the block was not trust and loyalty." Derrick replies, "He said that to you .. a US soldier! You must have wanted to crack him in the face!" Caleb, replies, " I just want you, me and Cody in the finale. I can bank on getting America’s Player."
Derrick says, "He's going to look like a clown on TV for bashing you. .. talking about me being a good friend and father. I haven’t been on the block because I don’t play the game he plays. He is going to say everything he can about me and Cody. He is setting himself up for final 2 or 3 but he ain’t going to be there. He has nothing bad to say about me that’s why he’s saying good stuff. If I get smoked in the end by you I would be okay with it." Caleb says, "My biggest fear is him going to jury and getting America’s Fave." Derrick says, " I promise you we are sending him home. We made a deal keep us off the block and we’ll win veto and send him home. We’re not breaking that." Caleb says, " Frankie want’s to sit down with the four of us." Derrick, still hoping to blindside Frankie, says, "If he’s throwing Cody under the bus we won’t tell him. If you don’t give respect you don’t get respect." Caleb says, " I would rather not send him out like that." Derrick says< "We’ll talk to Cody but if he’s talking sh*t about us I don’t want to give him the opportunity to throw you or me under the bus to each other."

Once upon a time, it was against the rules to tell a somebody he/she was being nominated or voted out; why did they ever drop that rule. It would be so much more entertaining to see the shocked faces of people who are blindsided with a vote when they believed they are totally safe. I don’t want Frankie to freak out between now and Tuesday, I want him to freak out on Tuesday when Julie tells him he has been evicted. Only the live feeders would be able to see the freak out otherwise, and maybe not even then because BB goes to fish (or whatever they are using this year) so often. An early freak out would definitely be edited to show us mere of it, or the end of it after Frankie had the opportunity to calm down. It isn’t fair. This is the stuff we watch the show for.

Frankie has been busy…and Victoria, with her ‘crazy eyes’ is getting paranoid to the point even Frankie is starting to catch on.
Frankie has told Caleb that Derrick isn’t as loyal as he thinks…So now Frankie has Caleb asking questions on loyalty.
Caleb has told Derrick what Frankie has said. That he is using him, and that people on the jury would easily vote for Derrick over him.
Cody tells Caleb a lie, in saying he never talked to someone to even put Caleb up (Lie).
Victoria shows up and tells them that production won’t give them alcohol tonight. they want them fresh and ready by 9am….but they beg and ask…and production does give them some beers and wine (go figure).
Not sure if what Frankie tried to do worked…but it has lit a fire, from what I understand, under Derrick.

If it comes down to Caleb and Cody in the final 2 I would vote for Caleb. Cody still seems like a deer caught in the headlights (not quite as bad as Vic) and is being taken along by Derrick. Kudos to Derrick. If he makes it to final 2 with either Cody or Victoria then he should win all the prizes for not only winning but dragging the 2 he wanted with him. The guy has played very well. He’s made them believe that he will finish 2nd to any of the boys. He’s made them
believe that it would be a very close vote between Cody and Caleb (which it would) but would not be so close if he’s in there. I hope he makes it

Okay, calling it a night, but I got a chuckle out of this. Maybe others here will also. Derrick has told Victoria to stay around Frankie as much as possible. To talk about anything and everything, because he confided to Derrick she was driving him nuts! So now, as I was forwarding the dvr, she is with Frankie and he has this look, as she keeps talking, like “Kill me now.” I’m not sure if he has figured out that Derrick is the reason for his ‘pain’…but Derrick glances, every now and then to look at Frankie, as he plays pool with Cody.
I know, it’s not much…but later on I’m sure they’ll show Frankie rant on telling Derrick he didn’t realize, before Victoria got mad at help, how much he babysat her away from the house.
At this point, I think Derrick is even more of a player than Dan.
Well, I’m calling it a night.
