‘Big Brother 16’ review: Who was evicted, and who returned to the game?

We knew going into tonight’s “Big Brother 16” episode that there was going to be a big chunk of this episode that we didn’t like, mostly for the simple reason that we didn’t want to see Zach leave the game. He was a personal favorite for most of the season; he didn’t play a very good game, but we weren’t all that upset about that since he was so much fun. Also, he was screwed over so many times that he really deserved another shot at this.

We knew from the start he would be evicted, and the vote was unanimous. Zach knew it, and the whole world watching knew it. His interview with Julie Chen was really great, except for one simple thing: He still is not that aware of who was screwing him over in the house. We were conflicted at this point in that we love the guy, but if he went back into the game, he still may not target any of the right people other than Victoria.

In the end, a great winner! Nicole was the person who emerged out of this and earned her spot back in the game, and we’re not particularly sad about it. Would we have preferred Zach in? Sure, from an entertainment standpoint. With that being said, though, we feel like Nicole is someone who could come in and create all sorts of glorious chaos. She knows what’s up and who is running the show, even though she is a little misguided with who she is targeting. Zach probably would have just made similar mistakes based on his interview with Julie, unless he was holding something back from her. Episode Grade: B.
