Five Drinks Into Reality TV: Big Brother 16 Game and Show Week 4

Tom's Take:

Another boring week as the status quo remained unchanged. I hate the 2 HOH twist, as it limits gameplay, and I'm ready for the house alliance to split apart. Come on people, make a move!

That said, I think Cody made the right move.









1. Caleb



Strategy: 20
Social: 10
Show: 80
Alliances: Bomb Squad Loyalist
Awards: Stalkmance

Caleb continues to be one of the more entertaining houseguests, and he is something of a villain in the fans are reacting negatively to his obsession with Amber. He also chose 5 grand instead of a veto which could have cost him the entire game.

2. Amber



BOTB: 20
Strategy: 10
Social: 10
Show: 30
Alliances: HT3, 
Awards: N/A

Amber winning comps is her only chance to stay in this game. She is awful at the strategic and social elements of this game, although in BB15, I think Amber would have been a decent player, since she's wanting to work with girls and is a loyal ally.  

3. Brittany




Strategy: 0
Social: 0
Show: 70
Alliances: Holier than Thou Trinity, 
Awards: N/A

Brit is an awful BB player, and she stayed 2 weeks longer than she should have. 

4. Christine




Strategy: 60
Social: 50
Show: 10
Alliances:  Nicotine, The Detonator, The Trilogy, Frankie/Christine,
Awards: N/A

Christine is the bottom of every alliance she's in, but she's in a lot of them, so she'll go far. 

5. Cody



HOH: 40
Strategy: 40
Social: 80
Show: 50
Alliances: The Detonators, Jump Street, The Boyz, 
Awards: N/A

Cody didn't make the BIG move, but he madde the RIGHT move in keeping the house calm while he's running the house with Derrick. My critique for Cody is that he had no reason for winning HOH. He should have thrown it. He should throw every hoh until things in the house start to change. 

6. Derrick




Strategy: 50
Social: 60
Show: 60
Alliances: The Detonators, The Boyz, Jump Street, Team America
Awards:  Current favorite to win

Derrick is running the house.

7. Hayden



Strategy: 50
Social: 60
Show: 40
Alliances: The Trilogy, Hayden and Nicole, The Boyz,
Awards: N/A

While Derrick runs the house, Hayden effortlessly seems to get his way as well every week, and is becoming more and powerful in the house without anyone seeming to realize how dangerous he is. Derrick winning the game would be incredibly impressive, since he'd have run the house since week 1, but Hayden's position fits the mold of previous winners more comfortably.

8. Jocasta



BOTB: 20
Strategy: 0
Social: 10
Show: 30
Alliances: Holier than Thou Trinity, 
Awards: N/A

Jocasta cried a lot, and did nothing, but Donny Amber saved her so good for her.





9. Donny



Strategy: 10
Social: 40
Show: 40
Alliances: Team America, Holier than Thou Trinity,
Awards: N/A


Donny has an ability to get people agree to him in the moment as seen with Cody, but he has no alliance to hold his plans in place. And no Team America is not a  real alliance.

10. Frankie



Dethroned HOH: 30/30
Strategy: 50
Social: 50
Show: 90
Alliances: The Detonators, Frankie and Christine, Zankie
Awards: N/A


Frankie has basically rebuilt his initial power base, but is taking a back seat and letting Derrick run the show for now. He's being included a lot on the show though, even though Andy was ignored for doing the same thing last season. Did CBS learn from their mistakes, or is this just because he's a Grande.  


11. Zach



Strategy: 30
Social: 0
Show: 70
Alliances: The Boyz, The Detonators, Zankie
Awards: N/A

Zach continues to be a trouble maker, but is it really helping his game?

12. Nicole




Strategy: 40
Social: 60
Show: 50
Alliances: Hayden and Nicole, Nicotine, The Trilogy
Awards: NA

Nicole is cute in all her outfits.

13. Victoria



POV: 30/30
Strategy: 30
Social: 20
Show: 50
Alliances: NA
Awards: My Crush

Victoria is getting really close to the point where it will be hard to see any way she doesn't make it to 2nd place. Is there any reason to evict her?
