Anyone who has watched The Amazing Race is used to football overruns, but this is ridiculous. The golf overrun was a full two hours, by far the worst of its kind I have ever seen on this network. Is it too much to ask to either be competent with scheduling or preempt the show and put it on a local affiliate rather than a Criminal Minds rerun?
During double eviction night in Big Brother 16 Episode 20, Jocasta and Hayden were both eliminated. As boring as it was predictable.
Nicole plays dumb. She didn’t even want Zach to go at all. No, it’s Christine and Frankie who are to blame. As they battle each other to prove who is wrong, Derrick just sits there enjoying the chaos that he had a heavy hand in, yet as usual nobody points a finger his way.
The HOH competition requires them to read an eye chart and then answer with one or two. Nicole beats Cody in the first bracket. Victoria eliminates Derrick. Christine beats Donny. Zach quickly answers without reading and is correct, eliminating Frankie. Nicole beats Victoria to become the first HOH, and Zach randomly answers again but this time is incorrect, making Christine the second HOH.
There are still a couple of pawns left, but they’re quickly running out of them. They want to put up one each and then one actual target. Then Frankie comes in the room, says he’ll flip, and wants Zach, Caleb, Cody, and Derrick nominated. Christine would prefer if he stopped talking right now.
Zach goes to Nicole alone without involving Christine like Frankie did, and he tells her about The Detonators. Derrick suggests that somebody should volunteer to go on the block against Frankie, and before he finishes talking, Zach agrees. Seeing as Zach thinks she’s a fruit loop dingus, Caleb volunteers instead, which makes her more comfortable with this plan.

As the ceremony ends, Zach departs swearing at Christine and Frankie.
The battle of the block is a game of football using a pair of chains on a board to try to land the ball in a series of goals. Frankie suspects that Caleb is going to throw it and confronts him as the challenge is about to begin. The end result is that Caleb’s not going to throw it… he’s not even going to bother to play at all. It’s not entirely possible for Frankie to win this on his own, but it is a tall order. After a rough beginning, he starts to make things interesting. He’s getting the hang of this while the other two struggle to communicate. Frankie takes the lead when he hits 6 out of 10. After he finds out that Frankie’s ahead, Zach asks to do it on his own, but he can’t.
Frankie single handedly wins the battle of the block. Perhaps Caleb’s tantrum was not the right way to go after all because, although he did not help Frankie, he could not hinder him either. Love him or hate him, that was pretty impressive. Afterward, he yells the words Ariana and Grande. I wonder if anybody was paying attention to that. Apparently, this is his plan to save himself for the future. He will reveal his secret.
