Nicole’s plan to backdoor Frankie failed in Big Brother 16 Episode 19, leaving Zach and Jocasta on the block.
Jocasta and Zach both assume they are safe. Zach seems to be the bigger threat, though Jocasta could easily be a vote for the people in the house who have not done anything all season.
Derrick wants to make sure that Frankie, who’s in two of his twelve alliances, is still good with him now that he’s no longer in danger this week. He lets him know that Zach is the target, and then Caleb is let in on it as well. Caleb’s argument is that Zach is a number, in spite of his mouth. With that comment, the dominoes start to fall in Zach’s favor, as Frankie and Christine learn more of the story behind what happened this week.
The double HOH twist is dead. For the next hour anyway because it is double eviction night. Might as well just kill it off for good. We’re far enough through the season. Kill Team America while you’re at it.
Votes
Donny: Zach
Caleb: Jocasta
Christine: Jocasta
Derrick: Jocasta
Cody: Jocasta
Hayden: Zach
Frankie: Jocasta
Victoria: Jocasta
By a vote of 6-3 Jocasta has been evicted from the Big Brother house. The interesting part of this vote for me is that Victoria seems to be in the loop as the other three are blindsided. Either that or she just got lucky. Julie tells Jocasta maybe we’ll see her again with a chance to get back in the game.
The HOH competition is series of more/less/exactly questions based on events from the season so far. Caleb, Christine, and Zach are the only ones to survive the first question. Zach is eliminated on the second question. Both Caleb and Christine gets the third question right. Caleb wins HOH.
Nominations
Hayden & Donny
Caleb does not mince words that there is a line drawn in the sand.
Zach, Victoria, and Christine join the HOH and the two nominees in the power of veto competition. Predictably, this competition has them running back and forth across the yard and searching for something. Zach scores the first rubber duckie with Donny behind him. Then they score a second each. Caleb manages to catch them both. Then Donny grabs his third duck to win the power of veto.
Donny removes himself from the block. The replacement nominee is obviously Nicole.
They sure played themselves out of this game last week, although really this has been building for some time since the Bomb Squad/Detonators have completely controlled every single eviction from the beginning.
In their speeches, Hayden and Nicole try to point fingers at Frankie and Christine, but nobody is listening. Of course, the irony of this is that Hayden and Nicole planned to go after Frankie and Christine next but were merely struck first.
Votes
Cody: Nicole
Christine: Hayden
Derrick: Hayden
Donny: Nicole
Frankie: Hayden
Zach: Hayden
Victoria: Hayden
By a vote of 5-2, Hayden has been evicted from the Big Brother house. I’m not sure it really matters which of them goes since the end result is that the showmance is broken up.
