NYGirl August 25, 2014 Share August 25, 2014 (edited) Tonight made me really dislike Cody. He had an awful lot to say about Donny. I can't stand the way they got so excited when he won because it was so obvious that Donny is going this week. I would love to see something happen to change that but I'm not holding any hope. Tonight was very mean spirited. I long for the old days when the power shifted every week and you had no idea who was going...It all came down to the actual vote count which would be like 5-4, 6-5, etc. The last couple of years we were treated to one person running the show..not only that but from the beginning!!! We never had a chance. That being said Derrick deserves the win as much as Dan did.

ShutUpFlanders August 25, 2014 Share August 25, 2014 (edited) Derrick's lying aggravates me to no end. That DR session was complete bullshit and an attempt to save face with any fans of Donny in the audience at home. He's been allowing Donny to be a pawn/target since pretty much the beginning. He gets compared to S6 winner Maggie a lot because of his effortless puppeteer skills, but even Maggie wouldn't bullshit the audience in a DR session that she liked Janelle when she didn't or say "hey, I'd like to work with Janelle, but she's not biting. Sorry America!" Even though Derrick has really earned his win this season compared to the rest of the playing field, I can't fucking stand him and I still won't like it if he wins. A Victoria or Christine win would actually satisfy me more just because I hate watching Derrick. Unless Donny miraculously ends up at F2 despite his "lack of a social game" - which, let's be real, no one in that house wanted to work with Donny because he looked the part of the odd man out weirdo and the major fratboy alliance (Caleb, Frankie, Zack, Devin, Derrick, Cody) complete with outcast girl who so desperately wants to fit in with the boys that she threw every damn woman under the bus to do so (Christine) was established on day 2 - my biggest hope for this season is that Derrick loses and gets booted right at F3. However, I do believe Donny refusing to throw a vote Jocasta's way the week TA was assigned the task to vote against the majority of the vote was the final nail for Derrick and Donny working together and why Derrick has been okay with Donny as an outcast ever since, but Derrick's got some rose colored glasses on there. Donny had 1 person he felt was an ally at that point (Jocasta) at this point and this TA task was asking Donny to not only vote against her but then to publicly accuse others in the house of voting against the group. Donny would've been public enemy no. 1, not even made it to jury, possibly alienated the only person in the house who was willing to work with him (as useless as she was). Frankie and Derrick would have still gotten the person they wanted out of the house and weren't going to work with Jocasta anyway so why would they give a shit if she knew Derrick voted for her. I fucking hate watching Derrick in DRs, I really do. Edited August 25, 2014 by ShutUpFlanders 8 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/13647-s16e27-nominations-9/#findComment-317766

Once again I find myself giving these people my middle finger for half the show. Derrick? Shut up. Stop lying to me. It's fine to lie to Donny and anyone else in the house, that's the game, but stop lying to me. I know damn well Donny is not the person you like more than anyone else except Cody. I know damn well Donny has been on your boot list way before he talked to Cody and Christine about you. Just stop it, you trying to ingratiate yourself to me because of this bullshit Team America nonsense is not working. I SEE YOU!! I do agree with him that Donny's social game is not good. But the line of the night (and an example of how Donny's social game is not good) was Donny 'complimenting' Cody by telling him Donny always thought Cody was a dumb kid, but now that he won that HOH, apparently he is smart. Hee! I think Donny probably figured out that Cody ratted out their whole conversation, so knew he had no bridges to burn. And as bad gameplay as it might have been, I loved it, because it was SO passive aggressive. 14 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/13647-s16e27-nominations-9/#findComment-317780

EvilApplesauce August 25, 2014 Share August 25, 2014 (edited) De-lurking and created an account just to say how upset I am by tonight's episode! And how I wish Hayden won the chance to return to the game, when originally I was pulling for Nicole. I just can't believe how badly Nicole and Donny wrecked this opportunity to put Derrick & The Detonators to bed. I'm no master strategist, but I think it was a bad move from the get-go for Nicole and Donny to be seen whispering about the game out in the open. Of course Nicole had an uphill battle to fight, but with the enemy in the majority, coming into a house that unanimously wanted her out ... why do anything to expand the target on her back? Nicole had more than a day to figure out her game plan if she returned to the house, and her best idea was "must win the HOH". Winning the HOH would have been great insurance, but it often comes down to luck, and Nicole and Donny sorely need to learn something about social game play, IMO. This house climate is very clique-y. You're either in or out. If I were Nicole, I would have come into the house ready to fake a reunion with Christine. I would have lied about watching Christine's footage in the jury house and coming to my senses about Hayden and Donny's true character. I would have played to her ego, humbled myself however subtly I could, and hoped that Christine would sow my seed through the house BEFORE the HOH. Maybe by the time the HOH comp got around, the others would think that I could be safe to keep around, and keep their target on Donny. Knowing that I really wanted to work with Donny, maybe that strategy would give me an opportunity to be a mole for my Nicole-Donny alliance. I would also immediately be flirting with Cody and selling the lie that I'm done with Hayden as of jury, because petting the kid would get to his brain easier than game logic would. Maybe now that's 2 Detonators who are on the fence about voting me out of the game. Another thing that I found painful to watch was Donny's speech to Cody. Donny is failing because he's using reason and logic to try to appeal to IDIOTS. These people are vain, they're fickle, they want to be "cool", they are incapable of appreciating intelligence! I don't think Donny should have approached Cody at all after the HOH, and I think he should have been invisible before the competition, only sneakily interacting with Nicole. Maybe he didn't know that Derrick's confidence was falling apart before the HOH, but even if Donny did know, I think it was in his best interest to lay low and let Derrick's paranoia hang in the air. By the time nominations came around, who knew what might have happened to distract the Detonators and cause them to want to attack themselves yet again? But by reminding Cody of his presence, and how much Donny is not like the Detonators, all he did was seal the deal, IMO. Cody's dumb a$$ will get an honorable mention in this post. He knows Donny or Nicole are the targets, so what does he do? Nominate them and give either one a chance to win Veto, and then claim if either one wins, he might THEN consider making "a big move". No, kid, it would be a move of necessity to replace the nominee. A move that might piss off your fellow alliance members, if you happen to choose the wrong Heather of the week to put up on the block. Backdoor would have been a sure-fire plan. Not hard to have one of your alliance members go up on the block against either Donny/Nicole, everyone plays their heart out in the Veto, and if Donny/Nicole wins, the replacement nominee is the other Donny/Nicole - now that DoubleHOH twist is over, this was doable.

North of Eden August 25, 2014 Share August 25, 2014 (edited) ...and the season shuffles along to its Anti-Climatic conclusion. At this point the only thing that can redeem it is if the jury bands together and decideds they are going to show Derrick that his plan to bring Victoria to the final two has failed....when they all vote for her and the sneaky narc is left dumbfounded as the confetti falls in the final moments of the finale. One can dream I guess. Back to reality I wanted to hurl the remote when Donny lost to Cody and the unbroken control of this game continues as it has since the house opened its doors in June. If only Donny could win...especially to a lunk head like Cody who has the plan to take Victoria to the end spelled out to him and he has the same blank look that Josh had wayyyyy back in season one when Brittany was trying to warn him that everyone was lying to him. I didn't think if was humanly possible for Frankie to look more like a jackass than with the pink shirt and bowtie but when he appeared in a suit with white shoes...well that did it. Lastly that was quite an intimate massageing of Christine's fingers that Cody was doing early in the episode. I hope her husband saw that. Didn't look like anything to do with game play.

Turtle August 25, 2014 Share August 25, 2014 I love that Donny tells these idiots that Derrick is working with everyone, promising everyone loyalty when it's obviously not possible, and then Derrick is like "Oh, I'm working with everyone, according to Donny", and they all just go "ha ha ha, so funny!" Doesn't occur to any of them that maybe Derrick actually IS working with everyone. Can none of them count?? Do they not realize that they cannot all be in a F2 deal with Derrick? Does it not occur to any one of them to even wonder why everyone else is so loyal to Derrick, if Derrick's true deal is with that first person? The idiocy - it astounds. I've said it before, but I think it bears repeating. Shut up, Frankie. So over him hamming it up All. The. Time. I wonder how many takes Victoria and Caleb have to do in the DR before they correctly read their scripts? That segment about Derrick "being undercover" in the BB house was interesting, I thought. And it explains a lot about why he's doing so well. I guess it should have been obvious, but I hadn't really thought about him changing his appearance and speaking style and whatnot to fit in with the other HGs, treating it like an assignment. This "wake the HoH up out of a dead sleep to talk game" trend we've seen this year blows my mind... who DOES that?!?

[/sarcasm] Yes! Derrick has been kind enough to single Donny out for special attention by getting him up on the block five times, and has acknowledged Donny was his target for several weeks now. And how does Danny repay that special attention from Derrick? He refuses to open up and lay his entire game plan out for Derrick when Derrick finally deigns to ask him about it. Donny just doesn't understand sharing! Seriously, that attitude of "When I scheme and plot to make it further in the game, that's great. When you do it, that's selfish and sneaky," has always annoyed me. I'm no master strategist, but I think it was a bad move from the get-go for Nicole and Donny to be seen whispering about the game out in the open. I also thought they should not be whispering about the game in the open, but instead I thought they should skip the whispering and just talk about the game out loud at the table. Why not? They could have talked about who they thought was running the alliance, who would be picked off next, and so forth. It might have got some people thinking. Their games were already toast, so I don't think they had anything to lose. Right, Cody, as if you're going to "make a big move" right now. Had you nominated anyone but Nicole and Donny, you would have been the next target. If you win the veto and take either Nicole or Donny off the block, you will be the next target. Can't wait to see the big move. There are going to be many in the jury house thinking, "Why didn't I break away from the Detonators earlier, when there were people to ally with?"

You heard Derrick tonight; any alliance member talking one-on-one with either Donny or Nicole will be viewed as betraying the alliance to further their own personal game. That's some pretty powerful groupthink going on. ITA, and that's why I thought it was Nicole's only shot to use that clique-y behavior against the alliance. Target someone she knows that will definitely spread whatever Nicole says. I thought Christine was the best choice to try and manipulate because: - Nicole knew what kind of person Christine was after leaving the house (fake friend, gossipy, desperate for attention from the guys, thinks on some level that Nicole is not as smart as Christine is because of that weak Hayden-Victoria lie she told) - Christine kicked her out the first time, and suspected Nicole would come back to play tit for tat - Christine has the ear of Cody and Frankie in the alliance. I figured that if Nicole went into the house and pretended that the jury house made Nicole see that Christine was "right" about Hayden and Donny, that Christine would definitely spread that to the alliance, and might lower her guard against Nicole because her ego would be stroked by Nicole's "humble" gameplay. Cody might also buy Nicole's gameplay because he hates Donny on the same irrational level that Christine does, and he might see Nicole throwing Hayden under the bus as a chance to get a prettier cuddle buddy. By the time Nicole's lies made it to Derrick, who knows? She might have lured 2, maybe 3 alliance members to trust her, and Nicole would have the advantage of being able to using those gullible Detonators to secretly help herself and Donny. It would be Donny's job to lay low, as he's been doing - not do what was expected, attaching to Nicole out in the open and making it seem to these knuckleheads that there are now 2 enemies in the house. Nicole and Donny are still locked out of the alliance for not attempting anything but a head-on fight, but now one of them is definitely going home. Only the HOH could have saved them with the path that they chose. Derrick's orders to the group showed that he feared Nicole being smart enough to woo alliance members away. Nicole and Donny never had the numbers on their side, so I don't know why she went the bold route of challenging the house. I don't think the alliance is impossible to penetrate - I think Donny's methods have been all wrong so far. These people aren't here for logic and common sense, they want to feel like they belong to the popular side. Nicole was Donny's "in", if she had played it the right way, IMO. Donny consistently reveals the game to these fools, and they hear him, but as soon as he's out of the picture, they dismiss him because he's an old guy with a beard. They do not care about what's good for their games, so play to their egos.

Gregg247 August 25, 2014 Share August 25, 2014 Caleb is a 3rd degree blackbelt? He looked about as convincing doing his "moves" as Cameron Diaz did playing a kung-fu master in the "Charlie's Angels" movies (i.e. - "not very"). LOL Normally when I see someone with moves like that, they're about 5 years old and wearing Batman pajamas. I'm not a fan of Frankie, but he did a surprisingly good job as the boxing announcer. He sounded like an actual professional! 3 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/13647-s16e27-nominations-9/#findComment-318233

Turtle August 25, 2014 Share August 25, 2014 (edited) You heard Derrick tonight; any alliance member talking one-on-one with either Donny or Nicole will be viewed as betraying the alliance to further their own personal game. That's some pretty powerful groupthink going on. It's kind of fascinating to me that Derrick can lay down the law about who his alliance members are allowed to speak to, and no one in the alliance bats an eye. Instead, they all just agree with him that anyone talking to Donny or Nicole is betrayal. I just do not understand how all of Caleb/ Frankie/ Cody/ Christine/ Victoria are so totally clueless. I mean, I get how each of them is that dumb on their own, but you'd think that, just statistically, one of them would have gotten a clue at some point. Caleb is a 3rd degree blackbelt? Caleb is everything, has done everything, is the best at everything, and is, in fact, everything. Either that, or Caleb is seriously delusional.

choclatechip45 August 25, 2014 Share August 25, 2014 I've been saying Cody is Drew Daniels 2.0, but I don't see any situation Derrick lets Cody near the finals. Cody really needs to make a big move to get there and I don't see him doing it. However, keeping with the BB5 references I can see Derrick getting Diane Henry'd by being too cocky near the end and hinting too much about what he thinks the Jury will do. For example if he ends up in the Finals with Caleb and Victoria I could see him telling Caleb everyone will vote for Victoria to win and Caleb not buying that and not taking Derrick.

This is true. That being said™, I haven't laughed that hard in a very long time. That bicycle kick bit nearly had me in stitches. The audacity, the very idea that Donny won't just roll over and die! How dare he fight to stay in the game!? How dare he try to form alliances and talk to other houseguests!? I can't believe he's not playing Derek's or Frankie's game for them! He is a menace and must be stopped! 5 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/13647-s16e27-nominations-9/#findComment-318449

The mentality and groupthink. I always wonder what I'd be like in there. Having said that, \o/, I actually turned off the show last night after the first ten minutes. It's just become too predictable and boring for me to watch. Derrick may be playing a good game, but it has made for boring TV. We'll have another unanimous vote. And everyone will march on to the inevitable, predictable end. When it was obvious that Cody wasn't listening to Donny at all, I just thought, what's the point. The fact that no one is even remotely considering/plotting when to nominate Derrick, really shows what a bunch of dumb HGs we have this year. I don't mind Derrick at all, but I hate his DRs so much. Poor Derrick, Donny is forcing him to get rid of him. Otherwise, he'd never turn on a fellow TA member. Sheesh.

ShadowDenizen August 25, 2014 Share August 25, 2014 (edited) I'm torn about Cody, Yes, to an extent, BB is all about "making big moves", but it's also about doing what's best for your game. Maybe waht's best for Cody's game is playing for 2nd? (If taken to F2, I do think there's a slim chance that he might beat out Derrick, given the jury this season.... Is what's best for his game trying to get out Derrick? It might be in the best interest of the HOUSE, but I don't think it's in Cody's particular best interest. From everything we've seen, the only two people Derrick seems committed to is Cody and Victoria. And thought both Nicole and Donny offered an alliance, that seemed like a last-ditch effort, and I don't think they would be as loyal to him. Could Cody have maybe talked to Derrick, tried to get him opnboard for booting Frankie? Perhaps. But it does make sense, in a way, to boot the "Easy Targets" first. EVERYONE seems to want Nicole and Donny out, so why not solidify your "Good-guy" status further? Cody has been (arguably) the least offensive player of the game this season. Eitehr way, the "best game" for the players doesn't always mean the "Most Interesting Epsidoes" for the fans. But any game-based reality show can havde that. Remember the BostonRob season of Surivivor? He OWNED that show from the first episode, much like Derrick has this show.

BeatrixK August 25, 2014 Share August 25, 2014 Congratulations, BB - I actually turned off the episode in the last 15 minutes: Grodner's team has made my favorite show literally unwatchable. Not sure what it was: Derrick's 'threats' about speaking to anyone outside of the alliance, Frankie, (just sick of him in any capacity right now. I just find him so repugnant as a person I get not entertainment value out of him at all.)The inability of anyone outside of Donny or Nichole to see that they are being Derrick's foot soldiers to his winning. (And it's not that I mind Derrick's overall gameplay - but THAT many people being so blindly stupid as to not see the obvious is just mind-boggling. Literally no one is even daring to question him.) Victoria - just a lump of hair taking up space...I want gamers at this stage...and I can't even call her a floater - at least a floater displaces water, which means it does something...she doesn't even do THAT! I am just so disappointed in what this show has become. I hate Donny leaving this week, but will be thrilled when he's away from the bouillabaisse of suck that has become the BB house this season. Is it wrong that I would love it when the Detonators start heading to the jury house means they get 'shunned' by the other jurors? I would like to see THEM left out of things and get a taste of their own medicine. 3 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/13647-s16e27-nominations-9/#findComment-318694
watch2much August 25, 2014 Share August 25, 2014 I think Derrick's restriction of who his alliance members can speak to is reminiscent of Boston Rob on the Survivor he won. Rob kept his little harem in check throughout the game, thus preventing any fracture of his alliance. Derrick is doing the same thing. If they don't talk to Donny and Nicole, they can't be swayed by possible arguments. While I may not like his play, Derrick does deserve to win because his manipulation has been flawless to date. 2 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/13647-s16e27-nominations-9/#findComment-318729
ghoulina August 25, 2014 Share August 25, 2014 I hope Nicole doesn't have to go right back to jury - because surely Jascosta will try to make out with her again. Awkward! I like how the guys are getting all annoyed that Donny is trying to talk to each of them - what else is he supposed to do??? Just sit there and wait to be evicted? It may be too late, but at least he's trying. Although, he's not doing very well - insulting the HOH's intelligence and blasting the lights on him while he's sleeping. Sigh....I still love you, Donny. Thank you, CBS, for the slomo replay of Caleb busting his ass. Best moment of the night! Caleb actually cracks me up. Just keep him far, far away from the females. Including Cody's sister. I really hope they backdoor Christine. Or maybe Cody will even get some balls and backdoor Frankie? He needs to make a big move. Because he hasn't really done jackshit up until now. If he makes it to the final two with anyone other than Christine or Victoria, he will lose. 1 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/13647-s16e27-nominations-9/#findComment-318906

LoneHaranguer August 25, 2014 Share August 25, 2014 Right, Cody, as if you're going to "make a big move" right now. Had you nominated anyone but Nicole and Donny, you would have been the next target. If you win the veto and take either Nicole or Donny off the block, you will be the next target. Can't wait to see the big move. Cody just looked pathetic in that DR. You didn't have to be Donny to see right through his attempt at talking big. The fact that returning to the house apparently came without immunity, with Nicole being up for eviction right away, means that all of Julie's blather about shaking things up was a total lie and all anyone wanted was to pad the show a week. Either that, or the producers are profoundly stupid. 2 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/13647-s16e27-nominations-9/#findComment-319086

Mumbles August 25, 2014 Share August 25, 2014 I wanted to punch Victoria when she ran to the Detonating Bomb Squad tools and told tales out of school about Donny and Nicole strategizing. She reminds me of the second-least popular kid at school who really piles on the one kid worse off than her, just to curry favor with the popular kids and distract them from her. Donny and Nicole never did anything to her, no reason to make it worse for them. 5 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/13647-s16e27-nominations-9/#findComment-319164
