Caleb became the week’s second HOH in Big Brother 16 Episode 2.
Because there are two HOHs, they get to share a room. Frankie has a plan to be as fake as possible and pretend that he likes Caleb, despite his prejudged notions that he’s a conservative hick.
Devin, who’s allied with half the house already, now proposes an all male alliance. The Bomb Squad jock alliance includes Devin, Cody, Derrick, Caleb, Zach, and because he’s the other HOH, Frankie. As for his alliance with Donny, that’s over, but he will continue to play along.
The nominations would historically take the entire episode, but now they have to get it done before half past the hour because there is more to come. They have to draw to determine who nominates first, and the second HOH will choose from the remaining nominees.
Nominated by Caleb
Donny
Paola
Nominated by Frankie
Victoria
Brittany
Caleb nominated the first male and first female who fell to reduce suspicion of an all male alliance, and Frankie nominated the first two people who fell. Victoria feels betrayed by somebody who made an alliance with her night one because her shirt matched his hair.
The nominations make sense, but they may be a glimpse of things to come. Rather than make a big move, which it’s really too early to do anyway, both play it safe and just nominate the weakest links possible who have the least chance of winning the competition and dethroning them.
Something I’m not sure I have seen before: the HOH starts crying after the ceremony. Caleb is almost the most broken up about these nominations. Frankie goes to console the only person who is more upset, Victoria, telling her he had no choice but to nominate her but does not want her to go home. She’s not dumb enough to fall for it.
Apparently not content with being allied with almost the entire house already, Devin tells Amber and Christine about his new alliance and wants them to join. After he tells them, then he wakes Caleb up and informs him that two new people have joined. Furthermore, Devin is afraid that Donny is a mastermind. These guys might want to reconsider and get rid of this idiot before he does any more damage.
The first battle of the block requires them to swing, fill their glasses with liquid, and throw that toward their partners, who can then fill a container on the other side. Donny’s having fun, but Paola has pretty much given up from the start. After being pathetic for a while, Paola starts to make things interesting, but it’s too late. Victoria and Brittany win, which means Frankie is no longer HOH.
