NOTE: The following information has not aired on Big Brother on CBS. The Live Feeds were out for much of the afternoon for the first Power of Veto competition of the summer. Before that, we got more insight into the complex web of alliances running around the Big Brother 16 house.
Frankie and Zach appear to have a strong alliance. They each have side alliances on the side and a larger alliance to which they both belong. The Bomb Squad is made of up Frankie, Zach, Derrick, Cody, Devin, Caleb, Amber, and Christine. Frankie, Devin, and Caleb have told each other their threesome alliance is the tightest of the group. Zach also has close ties with Derrick and Cody.
The consensus of the house appeared to want Donny to be the first Houseguest to walk out the front door. After Donny won the Power of Veto, however, Caleb immediately began discussions on who to nominate in his place.
Brittany asked Caleb to think about nominating Devin because she viewed him as a physical threat. Amber wanted Hayden to be considered out of the guys. All, however, seemed to be okay with Caleb nominating Joey as the replacement nominee.
Meanwhile, Hayden and Nicole had a hushed conversation in the Have Not room. They may be working together. Nicole is concerned she will be backdoored because she thinks Caleb will target weak players.
Caleb spoke to Joey and told her he would do as the house wants. However, it was blatantly obvious that meant Joey would take a seat in the other orange chair.
Throughout the night, Joey went to various houseguests to find any glimmers of hope she could find. Jocasta, Devin, Brittany, and Cody all spoke kind words to her. It’s unclear where each houseguest’s intentions truly lie.
Amber and Derrick had a lengthy conversation about the Bomb Squad and its future in the house. Derrick firmly believes that Caleb will stick to his word and the alliance by nominating Joey.
Frankie led the houseguests in two group activities: a ten-minute meditation and an intense looking workout with Hayden. The bromance between Zach and Frankie, now dubbed Zankie, has intensified with occasional cuddling and praise giving.
A little after 10:30 BBT, the backyard finally opened and the Houseguests rejoiced. They dipped in the hot tub, played pool, and hung out in the hammock. We even got our first view of the rubber ducky.
