The Dissing of Caleb - Too White to Win Her Love - Big Brother 16

Last night it happened!  The moment I've been waiting for!  Caleb found out his chances of a life with Amber have been squashed!  Now maybe this sad-sack of a guy can pull his head out of her butt and play the game!

Devin finally decided he would let Caleb in on the fact that his beloved Amber, the woman he has already married himself to in his wee little mind, will not even date him...inside or outside of the house.  Caleb isn't her type and it has nothing to do with muscles.  It has nothing to do with his sparkling, look-at-me-I'm-wonderful persona, it doesn't even have anything to do with the fact he is a faux-cowboy (I'm sorry, but REAL cowboys are not modeling).  It has everything to do with the fact that dear Amber only dates black guys.  Poor Caleb is just to vanilla for her chocolate tastes.  Maybe THAT is why she chooses to take the seat next to Devin when available?  

Now that Devin decided to let Caleb in on this (which he has known since last week), how will Caleb handle it?  Will he actually disappear into his grey hoodie and disappear or will he emerge from his grey cocoon like a beast, ready to take her down and tear this house up?  Or maybe he'll go completely nuts and try to become "a shade darker", as he put it.  You heard him suggest he could change his name to something more fitting - when he and Devin went down a short list of names that may have served him better?  Yes, oh yes, they did.  How far will crazy boy go?  He has only been talking about her and building this nut-job fantasy since the moment he looked at her.  Do you think he'll let it go that easy?  I'm not so sure.

Wanna discuss it?  Let me know what you think!  Here in the comments below or on our facebook page at www.facebook.com/BBBigMouth

BB16 Live Feeds - Sunday Evening and Overnight - Birthday Dance, Devin, and Caleb the Nut

Okay...I know you already know that Joey was the re-nom.  Because she doesn't really know how to play Big Brother, she reacts, well, much like you'd expect someone who doesn't know how to play to handle it.  She ends up making nice and trying to just join in.  

I'm going to skip to  some of the high points because the real fun didn't come until after midnight.   

At one point in the afternoon I hear Caleb saying to Donny, Zach and Nicole that girls these days do not like nice guys like him.  No dear, girls don't like crazy, stalker, nut-balls like you.  He even tells them about this one girl that broke up with him because he "was too nice."  Yeah Caleb, that's what she told you!  And I'll bet he's real familiar with the "it's not you , it's me" one too!

Brittany finally cornered Devin, forced him to talk and drove him to tears.  Of course this brought out her sympathy, so Devin decided he'd better go share this story with everyone else in the house too.  Yes, Devin that wonderful single father that hasn't even seen his daughter in 3 1/2 months!  Devin, the "ex-baseball player" - really Devin?  Did you actually play?  I mean play -- yeah -- didn't think so.

For the better part of Sunday they were only minimally entertaining.  Then at midnight they all went crazy.  Frankie and Zach worked on a dance with Hayden.  Hayden then proceeded to give Nicole a birthday lap dance  (around 12:12 am BBtime if you want ta flashback).  Personally, I'd go ahead and flash back to about 1 minute after midnight so you can catch all three of the guys in the pre-show entertainment, then the big event...lol.

They gave them wine and alcohol too.  Later in the evening Caleb decided it was time to let Amber in on the fact he has them practically married already in his head.  He pushes a lengthy and oh so awkward conversation and Amber flies the coop (pun intended) as soon as she gets a chance to bolt from the nest.  At least now we all KNOW she knows he is crazy...she could either use this for her own game, or be totally creeped out by it and try to distance herself.  I have a feeling she'll continue to back away, but since Caleb has mentioned on multiple occasions that she doesn't live that far from him...well, let's just hope she keeps an eye out for her biggest fan when she gets home.  Maybe Derrick can call some police contacts to give them a heads up - lol...Caleb is definitely stalker material!

That hits the biggest high points from last night. Can't wait for this first eviction (looks like Joey will be going as of right now) so they can all start really getting paranoid.  See you back soon with a new top post.

Friday - Big Brother After Dark, Overnight and Saturday Morning

The evening brought us a group meditation session led by Frankie.  For anyone just tuning in to BBAD, it was probably a "what the hell?" moment.  After he calmed them all down so much it took a little while for a few other them to really wake back up.

After that we have various conversations going on concerning the re-nom.  The consensus is that Joey will be put up in Donny's place.  Joey finally starts to try to do a little talking on her own behalf.  It really appears that the heinous act she committed was attempting to start an all girl alliance.  Seriously?  I'm guessing this is just something to be able to blame it on, since she wasn't the only one with that idea.

Somewhere around 10 pm (BBtime) Joey's upset stomach gets the better of her and she pukes her guts out right in front of Devin.  Poor guy!  Some of it went in the bowl she had, which she then spills onto the floor with the other vomit drops she blew about the room.  Not sure if she is sick or if her nerves are getting the better of her.

Zach seems to have calmed down some of that abrasive behavior.  Glad to see he has, it could have cost him the game.  Frankie has wooed the entire house it seems.  I'm starting to think those "meditations" are sessions he is using to hypnotize them.  It like a Frankie version of The Mist!  Absolutely amazing - this guy has the best social game, hands down.  He is hugging everyone.  Even Caleb acted jealous of being left out of the good night hug between Frankie and Devin.  (They had a group hug to include him - awwwww.....gag!)

Right now nobody seems too volatile.  I don't see anyone with a real fighter personality.  NO Willie's in this crew for sure.  Caleb keeps this really intense look most of the time.  Check out his body language.  He doesn't look happy.  I don't know if it is the stress of having to make the re-nom or if it is his pining away for Amber, who barely acknowledges him.  His constant longing for Amber is a little sickening to tell the truth.  If he doesn't get his shit together she could cost him the game.  NOT what I was expecting from Mr. Manly-Man.  

Around 10:30 or so they finally released these caged animals into the yard.  Like a bunch of birds they flew out flapping and squawking.  One observation I've made is that Cody is much quieter than I would have expected.  He is almost as quiet as Nicole.  Not sure if it will stay that way, but right now he may be trying to lay low a little.

Everyone is noticing how overcome with thoughts of Amber Caleb has become.  He has gone on about her to anyone that will sit still long enough.  Personally, I'm starting to switch screens once I see him get started.  I find it too pathetic to follow - sorry.

Frankie leads a group dance class with some of the girls.  He really is a good dancer and teacher.

Some of the guys are together talking.  The topic of fighting comes up and Caleb reveals that he and his friends never back down from fights and always win.  In fact he says that his buddies are the type to swing a baseball bat right in someone's face. Hayden says he'd rather leave a place than get into a fight.  He is a calm guy and this goes right along with the other behavior we see from him...likeable and not a trouble maker.  Zach brings up the ugly fight he was in that cost him his senior year at school.  A lot of damages and medical bills.  As soon as litigation and punitive damages get brought up the BB production puts a stop to the conversation.

The conversations are mostly about general stuff.  Caleb shows off his one-handed cartwheel.  They're all just playing around and enjoying be out of the confines of the house.

Then Zach tried to talk to America.  I LOVE it when we get a player that addresses the audience!  He tells us that the Bomb Squad is a joke.  He then names the eight people in the alliance and laughs about having an alliance of that size.  He appears to have full faith and trust in his and Frankie's alliance of two.  I hope this isn't a mistake.  Before he can get too much out though, Frankie sees the camera look at Zach and decides to come see why.  Of course this cuts things short and the masses seem to follow Frankie, turning their party of two into three, then four and so on.

I'm pretty sure that all of the guys except Derrick and Donny have pretty serious man-cruches on Frankie.  What the hell is this guy doing?  lol  At one point Frankie gives Devin a ride on his back as he crawls on all fours.  Halfway across the yard they switch places and Frankie rides Devin.  This is just getting weird!  rofl

Zach mentions he'd like to make a move on Nicole.  Frankie says he should wait until he has the HOH room.  At some point Frankie asks Zach if he is Hispanic ... Zach replies with laughter and says "No, I'm Jewish!"  lol  Zach also mentions to Frankie that he is having to hold in a lot in the house. Frankie agrees and says he never expected to have to play this hard this fast.  Victoria joins them, breaking up any serious game talk.  

The conversation turns to general stuff...friends, relationships and the like.  Frankie reveals that he has had three "traumatic" breakups...the kind that involved "screaming, flailing, emotional" breakups.  Victoria mentions something about a showmance with Frankie and Zach says he is already in a showmance with him.  These two remind me of a combination of the Matt & Reagan relationship and the Dr. Will & Boogie bro-mance.  I tried to switch cameras to Caleb, but he was STILL blabbing on about Amber!  

More general relationship talk from Victoria and about her expectations for a man, married life and motherhood.  Hayden and Frankie discuss their first impressions of the twists, entering the house and the like.  Devin and Frankie have an extended scene where they use pretty bad British accents.  They are all just having fun and enjoying being outside.  

Several of them stayed up throughout the night.  Then there was a shift change so to speak.  Our late nighters finally decided to rest and some of those that slept got up earlier than the others in the morning.

The morning has been slow.  A lot of primping in front of mirrors and prepping for pool time.  Nothing notable going on concerning game talk.  Since they're just relaxing for now I will too and I'll be back with more soon.  If you're looking to see them while they're all still enjoying one another, you might want to watch now.  Once someone actually gets voted out the feeling might change some. 

Live Feeds After the POV - Friday Afternoon

Since the POV they've all been making the rounds to talk to Caleb about the pending re-nom.  As we'd expect, they're scurrying around basically doing all they can to agree with their HOH.  It all boils down to the fact that Caleb is shrugging off the role of decision maker and telling everyone that he will go with the house majority on who they'd like to see go up in Donny's place.  It seems that most of the house guests are leaning toward Joey for the nominee.  I'm not quite sure what she did that bothered so many people, but she even agreed with Caleb that she "put herself in this situation".  If you know what she did exactly, please, let me know.  But whatever the outcome, she acts as if she is okay with it.  Does this girl not realize that she should be arguing her case about now?  Will she even try to save herself?

A lot of time is spent with Caleb speaking to people one at a time.  You'd think the ceremony is tonight the way he's running through them. 

There is a lot of discussion about the competition, other words they could have spelled, and the like.  Everyone is quite aware that Cody had the letters to spell a winning word, but didn't manage to pull it off.  They can't believe that "splitters" was the winning word.

One of my biggest observations of the day has been about Frankie.  I don't know if there is anyone left he hasn't made some kind of alliance with.  It is starting to remind me a bit of Andy from last season, and I really didn't like him.  He seems to fly from one room to another like he has wings on his feet, hopping from one house guest's arms to the next.  Literally.  This guy is crawling all over everyone.  He spends equal amounts of time wallowing around on the women AND the men.  Even more shocking - the guys not only seem to not mind, they all seem to love him! 

A couple of my favorite lines today:

Donny (in response to Paola) : "Derrick? Is there a guy named Derrick in here?!?!"

Cody (with Christine, but to the camera - about the POV comp) : "Our generation and auto correct!  See what you're doing to us?!?!"

I guess that will do it for now, but we'll be back with more later, so check back for a new top post!

BB16 POV Spoiler - Friday June 27

The first #BB16 POV of the season has been played!  And the winner is...

 Donny! 

#BBDonny wins POV.  The first Power of Veto competition was hosted by Jocasta and the players were Caleb, Paola, Donny, Cody, Zach and Victoria.  

The competition involved some sort of spelling challenge.  The HGs had to collect letters and then spell a word using those letters.  It appears that the longest word spelled correctly won.  Donny won with the word "splitters".  

It has been mentioned more than once that Cody had the letters to spell "comparatively", but failed to do so.  One of the best lines I've heard all day came from Cody concerning the comp.  He said to the camera "Our generation and auto correct! See what you're doing to us?!?!"  Donny is a gracious winner and not gloating one bit about taking himself off the block.  He even gives Paola a pep talk ending with "Socialize! You've got a game to play!"

For our recap of the hours following the POV competition, check back later for a new top post.  Be sure to like our page on facebook at www.facebook.com/BBBigMouth.

The Nature of the Game of Big Brother (#BB16)

I am being kicked out of #BB discussion groups on facebook like crazy.  And with no warning!  Why?  It isn't for advertising - I have nothing to sell.  For using bad language? No - that's not it.  For attacking other members?  Again, not it.  This leaves me with one last "rule" that could have been broken -- no negative comments?  Say WHAT??  Are these people familiar with the game of Big Brother?  

The whole thing is based on social interaction and interpersonal communication.  The challenges are fun and all, but the bigger game comes down to the house guests, the people and how well they do or do not get along, who they choose to trust, and the repercussions for those choices in many cases.  When the people that get on this show sign up, they know that not everyone is going to like them...in the house or on the outside.  Because that is life!  People do not go around being PC and never uttering a statement that could be construed as "negative" in some fashion.  Can you imagine how friggin boring the world would be if our opinions were outlawed??  

So why do so many of the Big Brother social communities have these moderators that refuse to let someone even say they disliked a house guest?  They are what I now call "Nice Nazis".  In my opinion, these people have an unrealistic view on the game of Big Brother, and life in general.  They should welcome opinions, welcome posts that MANY people respond to, welcome the people that use their opinions to start actual conversations, real human interaction, instead of just saying "Go team!" all the time.  

Big Brother is about people!  People's ideas, thoughts, interactions, arguments, make-ups, personal attitudes and morals (or lack thereof), and are what MAKE Big Brother the amazingly fun show to watch that it is!  So the "Nice Nazis" can have their oh-so-friendly discussions about all of the rainbows and sunshine in their views of the game, but me, I prefer to actually enjoy it, talk about it, and say what is on my mind...and I invite ALL of you to join us!  Please, come be a part of our discussion -- a REAL discussion, with REAL opinions.  We are your place to go to talk BB without all the BS!

Big Brother 16 Starts Tomorrow Night

It is finally here -- we've reached Day 1 in our 3-2-1 #BB16 Countdown!  

Here is today's question...

What is one thing that you give up, disregard, say good-bye to, or let go of to devote more time to Big Brother watching?

All loyal #BB fans do it.  Some let things like laundry pile up longer than it should.  Maybe you stop keeping up with housework as well as you should.  Maybe you spend more time hiding your blog reading from you boss?  
In our house, it is the cooking that takes a hit.  Wednesday will mark the beginning of Big Brother and Sandwich Season here.  It just takes too long to make big, involved time-consuming meals...not to mention its hard to hear all that whispering the HGs do with pots and pans banging around in the kitchen!

We thank you all for your comments and for following our Big Brother Big Mouth blog.  We look forward to spending a really great summer with you all!  And remember, here at Big Brother Big Mouth, we will NEVER edit or delete your comments and on our facebook page (www.facebook.com/BBBigMouth ) our only rule is - Say what's on your mind! We're all about Big Brother - and demanding that people "keep it nice" just doesn't go with this game!!  So head over to our fb page and let your thoughts be heard -- ALL of them!

Final Countdown to Big Brother 16 Premiere

We are now in the final countdown to the premiere of BB16!

In honor of the 3 day countdown, let's name 3 things we would change about the #BB16 House!  

My three things to change are:  

1. Replace their current pool with a 12' x 30" Easy-Up Pool (You know, the short ones with an inflatable blue ring around the top?)
2. Replace the comfy hot tub with a plastic wading pool with a hot water spigot and surround it with web-style lawn chairs.
3. Allow ONLY generic products in the house...and if there isn't a generic available, they don't get it...period.  (Except alcohol - we need them drinking to loosen them up! LOL!)

Okay, there are my three adjustments to the Big Brother House.  What are yours?

Big BB16 Twist Revealed

So Julie Chen finally made the big Big Brother 16 Twist announcement...we sat through several excruciating minutes (17 I think, felt like an hour at least) to get to it. Let's just say it leaves a lot to be desired. 

The Big Brother Big Mouth breakdown:   The big #BB16 Twist starts with two HOHs every week...each HOH will nominate 2 HGs to sit on the block, giving us four people on the chopping block each week.  Here is the big piece that could actually make this interesting (or not, depending on how they utilize it) - neither HOH is automatically safe, instead having to participate in some sort of challenge called Battle of the Block.  Hmm...I'll reserve judgement until we see how this works.  Oh yeah, and they claim that we, the audience, aka "Team America", will get to have a major influence (note that I said influence, not impact) on the game...again, let's see what they actually do with this. 

For me, the hype about revealing this big Big Brother 16 Twist was by far bigger than the actual announcement...we already figured out there were two distinct groups within the house (unless you missed those pics everywhere showing two memory walls).  So a battle between the two - well, no big shocker.  Tell us what you think...after all that IS what this blog is about!  And be sure to join BB Big Mouth on facebook for all the BB16 action! too!  An no BS PC comments either - we want to know what you really think!

Welcome to the Big Brother Big Mouth #BB16 Season Opener Post

For years I've tried to explain to the non-watchers how one can become so completely immersed in a reality TV show.  So far, the best analogy I've found is that we, the true BB fans, anticipate the BB seasons much like a baseball or football fanatic.  Except for us, the season runs 24/7 from June through half of September!  

We have been watching Big Brother since Season 3.  Of course back then, we were network only viewers and didn't even own a computer!  But that finally changed - we got the computer, and alas, did not have a connection fast enough to get the feeds!  So for years we relied on Showtime After Dark and the many, many awesome Big Brother blogs out there for all of the latest news and info.  But then it happened -- a high speed connection was made available to our area (and what luck - just before that particular season was set to start!), and our live feed viewing began.  :) Since then, Big Brother has become our annual full-immersion "sporting" season.  We spend all our time watching and decided we'd share our take on things with someone other than each other, someone like -- YOU! Another BB fan, looking to see what other fans are thinking about these jokers that always fill the house. 

In our house, Big Brother season is also referred to as "Sandwich Season", because BB viewing just doesn't leave time for too time-consuming a dish.  So along the way, feel free to send us any quick-fix dinner ideas you happen upon too!  We'll be here, waiting to give you a no-holds-barred real look at what is going on in the Big Brother house...and yes, it will be filled with opinions and our take on everything -- because we like it that way!

We're looking forward to the Big Brother 16 season, which is already promising "Twist after twist after twisted twist", so be sure to watch on CBS on June 25 , live feeds beginning that very night and catch up on all the happenings with us!!
