‘Big Brother 16’ review: The Team America mission, a counter, and little else

Let’s not sit here and pretend that Tuesday night’s “Big Brother” episode was anything that different or special, mostly because it wasn’t. There was some entertainment in here with conspiracies about the button and how terrible Victoria is, but there wasn’t a whole lot else happening.

We will say this about that hilarious VIctoria segment: There had to be someone goading her, right? There is no way she SERIOUSLY thinks that she is Batman, right? We’d compare her more to one of the Wonder Twins, or at least the one whose power consists of turning into a pool of water.

The Veto Competition was the return of the “combine the houseguests into one picture” challenge, and Frankie won while also going on and on about how good he is in some of these … and he is right. So is Cody about the decision to send home Nicole, who could have been a solid ally for him, over someone like Frankie who now has him on the block.

There was a lot of emphasis tonight on the counter that was slowly declining, and tomorrow is what we are truly excited for. The basic message of it is this: If someone other than Frankie is in power and wins the competitions, the odds are very high that he goes home. Otherwise, Victoria probably will unless there is a chance for Cody and Derrick to get out Caleb instead … but that would eliminate one more person other than Frankie to win a competition.

We’ll have some further updates soon, which will hopefully be more informative than this review. Grade: A-.
