Big Brother 2014 Spoilers: Live Feeds Recap – 7/19/2014
|We had our normal Saturday in the Big Brother 2014 house, as the HGs made their way through picking the Power of Veto players and then the Veto Competition taking place on Big Brother 16. It was do-or-die time for Brittany, who was the main target for the power alliance of eight. Check out some highlights from Saturday below in our Big Brother 2014 spoilers!

Before the players were picked, we saw Brittany and Amber talking about working together and they want Zach gone. They really have no idea how the game works, as they want to try and get Cody to pick Zach as the host and then he won’t be able to compete. Yeah, that’s how it works! With that logic, shouldn’t Devin had hosted the week before??? Either way, they want to work together to keep Brittany safe. Then the players are picked and Brittany gets the HG Choice chip and asks for volunteers and Caleb volunteers! Brittany did not want to pick Amber because she didn’t want people to see they are working together (smart girl)!

The Veto Competition was held and it was the trade-up competition and they all get a “prize” and can trade for something better. The true winner of the competition was Caleb, but he took $5,000 over the veto and Victoria ended up winning veto and will be safe for the week. Other prizes: Zach won a trip to Germany, Cody won kicking his own butt (using a machine that kicks him and he has to do it ten times when the whistle blows), Nicole won wearing a German-inspired unitard for a week and Brittany won kicking 2,400 soccer goals in a 24-hour period!
With Victoria winning, it was time to figure out who to put next to Brittany on the block. There was mention of Zach or Caleb, but Derrick put those ideas to rest and has everyone focused on putting up Donny, but knowing that Brittany is the target. They think Zach or Caleb could go home over Brittany, but no one would vote for Donny. However, Cody is worried about upsetting Donny and then becoming a target for him next week (why is everyone afraid of upsetting people in this game)?
Brittany and Zach got into a couple heated discussions and they just don’t like each other, which would make it interesting if Zach went up as a renom. Caleb and Amber talked and for some reason, Caleb got the idea that Amber would go to Germany with him if he won that trip. He decides to talk to Zach and they trade prizes, so now Caleb thinks he is going on a trip with Amber. She never agreed to it and she shot him down on his idea of going on a cruise together. The man is nuts and has someone in his head telling him things that don’t actually happen on Big Brother 2014! Anyway, production nixed the trade idea and they both have their original prizes.
Brittany has a little over 1,000 goals kicked, so more power to her! They got alcohol, but it did no good. Frankie talked with Amber and made it sound like it was Cody wanting her on the block and not him, which Cody heard about and is pissed. He smooths it out later and Amber seems to be the target for next week. When will they focus on Frankie and how no one trusts him? When will Nicole get to wear her regular clothes? What will Sunday bring to the Big Brother 16 house?

All I can say is that 2400 goals in 24 hours is one heck of a punishment!! She was working solid last night and was doing between 50-100 an hour. At 650 goals, she was already sore and her foot hurt (she was trying to kick with her left foot, but was obviously more accurate with her right). At that rate, it may take 12 hours or more to complete the task. She had a pretty good attitude on BBAD but I would be getting grumpy by then!!
Yeah, that is a huge punishment and I almost feel bad for her. To sleep, she would have to be working double time at points!
Yea, she really needs to kick it harder so she doesn’t have to walk all the way in to the net to retrieve the ball!
I don’t think she is tough enough, but she doesn’t “deserve” this!
Totally agree.
Like many people on here, my annoyance with Brittany and the women in this house is growing more and more each day. I am praying for a Donny victory in the HoH competition next week just to spice things up a little….we need some of these guys on the block and paranoid to start cutting their own throats!
Derrick was talking last night in a way that explained his thought process to me. He is staying loyal to his original alliance until they get to evictees being on the jury. After that, his loyalties are less clear (though I’m pretty sure Frankie, Caleb and maybe Zach are his first targets). Until then, he’s just staying focused on what seems to be the task of getting to jury – because apparently they earn a certain amount of money by doing so – and targeting anyone not in that group.
The problem for those outside the house who hate to see the majority rule (and for we who love Donny) is that the rest of the house can’t get anything together. BB did it up good this time: Most of the BB game smarts appears to be on the same side as the brawn – which is unusual. Sure, Christine and Nicole are game savvy, but they aren’t going to be brave enough to organize anything (to be fair, even THEY see that there isn’t enough smarts in the rest of the house) until that brawny side votes them out too. CBS saddled the female side of the house with only two BB brains, a princess, a model, a DJ who couldn’t win a comp to save her life, and a bunch of other women who have no idea how to play BB!!
Our best hope for a certain shake-up is Donny as HoH (as long as he doesn’t target Derrick, which would not make me happy). Though honestly, he’s smart enough to know Derrick is really the brains – and the glue – of that side of the house.
Yeah, Donny knows Derrick is the brains and he could go after him lol
I was all on the Derrick train. In fact i was the conductor. But i’ve retreated into the caboose. In the sense of being fair, i was down on Brittanys case for using the “deserve” word. But Derrick uttered something that makes no sense to me either. Last night he told Caleb he doesn’t want Brittany in the game because she would target the guys and she wants to take the food out of my kids mouth. What?? No ones there to make sure your kid eats! That was the first time i’ve heard Derrick take his game play down to Britt level. Stop that Derrick….it looks bad on you.
Concerning the TA situation. Frankie and Derrick have talked about cutting Donny. Not this time but for the near future. Seems they still get the $5000 for each accomplished mission even if one of them is evicted. But they both agree when jury starts it’s time to make it happen. So there it is….Donny is only safe until Derrick or Frankie decide it’s time for him to go. Or he wins HOH and gets rid of them first. Donny is about the only one that knows Derrick is running the show.
i’m rapidly losing patience with these hgs. The level of strategy is low and the stupidity high. Even the so called “super fans” have laid down like a rug and let the others walk all over their game.
Question Cat: Do you think you generally root for the underdogs in the house? I mean, of course, they have to have intelligence and game play and some decency. I know that much. But (other than Dr. Will), what scenario would you NOT be craving an underdog revolt (assuming the hgs were worth rooting for)? Because as a superfan of BB, you just admire people having to work hard to get the money.
I ask because I find myself on the opposite side. I’m in the very unusual position this season of being happy with the majority rule because I like the person in charge: Derrick (and don’t mind the others he’s working with, generally speaking). Every other season where the house (or the tribe, on Survivor) voted together, I was frustrated – with the possible exception of Boston Rob’s manipulation the season he won, which was quite masterful. I am always looking for someone to beat the odds, turn the house upside down, swim upstream – generally make things more interesting for us outside.
Now, you know my question isn’t judgmental. I am just puzzled at my own reaction this season. With the exception of Donny not being in the alliance, I’m enjoying this season and watching to see if Derrick’s manipulations will work.
I heard his comments last night (I think it was the same ones). But it wasn’t the whiney, “I deserve the money because I’m a husband and daddy” argument. He was saying, I’m here for my family, and anyone who gets in the way of that is toast – nothing personal, just that my family is all that matters to me in this game.
Again, I’m not trying to change your mind. You know I respect your opinion. And I’m willing to admit my opinions of the hgs could change in the coming weeks. I’m still admiring Derrick’s game (with the exception that as soon as he specifically targets Donny, I’ll start chewing my nails), with its imperfections. I like him as a person, and I want him to win (and Donny to get a bunch of TA $5000, plus fan fav).
Sorry for the treatise…..!
🙂
Yes i suppose i do root for the underdog. Assuming, as you say, they are intelligent and have a strategy. A HG doesn’t get my loyalty just because they’re the underdog if they don’t even TRY. This is where i’m at odds with Donny. He’s the obvious underdog. And i think he’s an intelligent and decent person. And watching him i can almost see the wheels turning in his head. He’s thinking it over….deciding what his best options are. Trouble is…..he thinks his best option is to do nothing. Yeah, i know he got burned before. He told someone…they told someone…and it got him into hot water. That doesn’t mean you stop talking game. You just become more selective about who and what you say. That’s all part of the game. From a fans standpoint of view, he’s a disappointment in the strategy department. As a person…one of the best. I guess i keep hoping against hope that he will increase his capital in the game by making a move instead of being led to slaughter.
I like Derricks gameplay but i want someone to step up and challenge it. Having one person run rough shod over the whole house (even if they do it masterfully) gets predictable. It’s easy to manipulate those that are malleable. But can you do it with the enemy? The only person at this point that’s onto him is Donny. Although Donny is not Derricks enemy at this point….it’s headed in that direction. Majority rules scenario = house votes together. Not inspiring and also predictable.
As for what Derrick said last night – I read quite a few blogs and articles this morning and more than a few mentioned his statement being Brittany-like. Even if he meant it in an innocent way, another hg might not take it that way. I obviously didn’t. Leave family at the door. But if you must talk about them do so in a way that doesn’t imply that their well being depends on you bringing home the check.
I’m very analytical, as I suspect you are. I like to study people – which makes BB a fascinating exercise for me! If Derrick’s manipulation starts getting easy for him (because there isn’t an independent thinker in the house), I will tire of it too. At this point, though, nothing is guaranteed. The fact that he has orchestrated so much without anyone but Donny noticing he is a controlling factor is admirable to me (plus the fact that he seems to be a good guy in real life). Yet, I worry every week that someone will wake up and target him. So that makes it interesting to me. I enjoy your perspective and am truly interested to see how this season plays out!!
I would think it is easy for Derrick…being a police officer I am sure he has seen a lot and can manipulate pretty good…but hopefully someone else has some smarts…I know it isn’t Caleb…he is too busy having a GinaMarie meltdown.
Donny is gona win Fan Favorite anyways so just let him for sure make it to jury. Get the floaters gone before Jury, then mouthy Zach.
What is the count for Jury?
It was nine last season, I believe
Thanks Todd
