‘Big Brother 16’ live feed spoilers: Today’s Veto players and Zingbot hopes

In the midst of all the Frankie Grande drama and other happenings in the “Big Brother 16” house, there is one thing that has not necessarily received a ton of attention: The participants in the Power of Veto Competition.

So who is taking part today? Obviously you have Christine as Head of Household, and then the two nominees in Zach and Donny. After that, you have Derrick, Caleb, and then Nicole rounding out the field. This is mostly a pretty interesting mix, and one that probably hurts the nominee’s chances of winning individually. Nicole has won three competitions and is no slouch; meanwhile, Caleb should be rested from his sit-down session in the Battle of the Block, and Derrick is a force. Add to this Veto Monster Donny, and Zach is going to have a hard time getting a necklace here.

The real truth here is that the odds of someone using this Veto are pretty low other than one of the nominees. Christine won’t want the blood on her hands, and she’d be happy with either nominee going. Even though Nicole and Zach have been “working together,” we can’t see her making a move like this either unless she desperately wants someone like Cody or Derrick out of the game. (It’s possible, but a big stretch.)

If the nominations stay the same, we could see another big split decision. Six people are voting, and with Derrick wanting to keep Zach over Donny presumably, he and Cody are two votes over there (with Victoria making three if she sticks with Derrick, and Caleb four if he sticks to the numbers). Meanwhile, Frankie wants to keep Donny so that America loves him (there’s a lot of Frankie delusions today), and we could see him and Nicole fighting over here. In the end Zach probably has the edge since Caleb and Derrick are both very wary about Donny, but they need to ensure that they have at least two other votes.

We’ll have the Veto results up later, and the hope is for a Zingbot reprisal since this is a good spot for him. Plus, it explains why they are waiting to start it up so that there’s not another heatstroke incident.
