‘Big Brother 16’ live feed spoilers: Nicole tries to make roads

Even though Nicole likely realizes that she is safe on “Big Brother 16” for the week, she is still doing her best to do what any smart player would in her situation: Really put in that extra effort to make sure! The last thing that you really want to do is get egg on your face going into Thursday when there was something you could have done.

For the most part, Nicole did get something pretty valuable here in information she can try to use later, including that Victoria really doesn’t like Christine, and that Derrick is really close to Victoria. Also through these chats with Victoria and Derrick, she basically reconfirmed that Frankie is not her biggest fan. These may give her inclinations, as a diehard fan, about where loyalties lie. For example, if Derrick is willing to subtly throw Frankie under the bus, it may make him a good person to target.

Ultimately, the great thing Nicole has going for her next week is that she’s an instant number for whoever wants her. It would be stupid for someone like Derrick to not befriend her right now if she wins Head of Household, since it guarantees Frankie and Christine an element of danger. Getting rid of her only means that it will be harder to split up other alliances later. Do you want her in the top 3, or even the top 4? Probably not, but we’d keep her until around final five if we were someone really wanting to play the game right now.

Nicole may talk to Frankie later, and if there is anything interesting that happens in there, we’ll have it for you a little later in the day.
