Thanks to the rewind button, Week 11 shut down before a single vote was
cast on Wednesday, September 10, and the week started over. It’s now
technically Week 12, but they're repeating the same Head of Household
and Power of Veto competitions (although new people can win them) and
we're stuck with these same final five:
- Cody Calafiore
- Frankie Grande
- Caleb Reynolds
- Derrick Levasseur
- Victoria Rafaeli
Welcome
to Groundhog Day! Time to see who paid attention to last week's comps
and learned from his or her mistakes. And congrats to Victoria, who was
about to head to jury and was saved. Now she can continue to ignore her
own game and help Derrick, the one person in BB16 who has yet to sit on
the block and doesn’t need more help steamrolling the HGs.
But which one of them might actually be evicted on Tuesday, September 16, following Joey, Paola, Devin, Brittany, Amber, Jocasta, Hayden, Nicole, Zach, Donny, Nicole again, Christine, and Absolutely No One? (See below for updates, as they come in.) Julie said the jury members will be making a surprise return to the house on Sunday. The eviction will happen on Tuesday (final 4), then we'll have a second Week 12 eviction on Wednesday (final 3!). Plus, there's a "special episode" on Friday. Yeah, the schedule is all over the map.

We
kinda thought if they were going to rewind the week and do the same
comps again they might do them in a blitz like a double eviction, all in
one day. But nope. It’s a mostly full week of the same stuff.If
ever a season did not need to repeat anything it’s done so far, it’s
BB16. But oh well. At least this finally gives the house a chance to
target Frankie Grande. And even though they didn’t show it on TV,
Frankie was pushing hard to hit that rewind button. So far he’s taken
the twist well — even though it hurt him the most — but if it doesn’t go
in his favor this week, you know there will be tears and drama. But
Frankie is truly a comp beast (and he’s cocky about it) so he could
easily win himself into safety. Anyway, at least
Derrick left himself some good breadcrumbs to get to the end, thanks in
part to his pet Victoria and her one skill: crying on cue. Like Boston Rob in Survivor: Redemption Island, Derrick is Nolan Ryan pitching to Little Leaguers.
It was AWESOME to see jury footage, and hear from Dan Gheesling, and the consensus from all is that Derrick should win. It’s good to hear the jury is not leaning toward a bitter vote. A Derrick win may be the only thing that can save this season. BB16 won’t go down as one of the greats, even if The Copfather pulls off more good moves, because he does not have a single worthy adversary. There are pawns and zombies in that house, but not the man in the black pajamas. Sorry, Frankie, but you don't qualify. (But a Frankie vs. Derrick finale would be interesting, even if it feels a little too preordained.)
Stay tuned for updates on who wins the repeat HOH, who they nominate, who wins POV, and who is left on the block. Frankie has to know he's in trouble, unless they decide to stick with the plan to evict Victoria. It's possible. Saving Victoria just to dump her a week later? That truly *would* be the ultimate waste. UPDATE: Aha. So Caleb won HOH. What does that mean, in terms of nominations and the target? Frankie and Caleb are close, if not as close as they were back in Week 1. Frankie did not put Caleb on the block when he won this HOH last week. Then again, someone has to sit next to Victoria on the block. It will probably be Frankie, unless they save him to be backdoored. If not Frankie ... Cody again? Or could Derrick finally take a seat in the orange chair for the first time? D does need to be challenged if he's going to earn his spot on the list of great players. Will Caleb go along with a plan to target Frankie, or will he want to stick with Frankie's plan to just evict Victoria and take the guys to the final four? Remember, this is the guy who prides himself on being the founding father of The Bomb Squad, an alliance that expired a long time ago. He apparently still does not know about The Detonators, never mind Derrick and Cody as The Hitmen. After the HOH comp, Caleb and Derrick had a talk. Caleb doesn't sound sure that he wants to put Frankie up as an initial nominee. He's worried Frankie could save himself with POV and come after Caleb in the next HOH. Caleb actually wants Derrick to volunteer, which -- bwahaha -- ain't gonna happen, sunshine. Derrick may be able to push Caleb to put Frankie on the block, which is best for Derrick's own game. It may actually be in Caleb's interest to keep Frankie off the block as an initial nominee (but still as a backdoor option), and he has to put his own game first. Still. If Frankie avoids the block all week, Caleb is going to be called Weak Mode Cowboy. And Cody is going to FLIP if he not only has to wear that stupid dinosaur outfit again, but also sit on the block again. Nominations should be made official tomorrow (Thursday) since this is an early week. It could be Derrick vs. Victoria, with Frankie as the backdoor target and ... probably just Victoria as the evicted HG if Frankie wins POV again. But Derrick was so close to winning that POV last week and this seems to be a second chance week. He could put his "photographic memory" to good use and save himself off the block. If he even goes on the block. There's a first time for everything!
