I'm double posting to inform you all that Caleb has decided to declare his love to Amber tonight! It will happen tonight! Caleb has decided to go for that brass ring of happiness and marriage and babies and all that stuff. Because, you know, that's what normal adults who met each other a week ago do. They don't hang out and flirt and get to know each other. They just declare their love like a John Cusack movie.

I love this cast. Even the racist.


Oh, my friend, Caleb's crush on Amber passed "scary" a long time ago. He's like 2 days from shooting the president to impress her.

Production is sitting in the backroom with a taser for if she rejects him (she will). Let's have a different kind of shitshow this year.

I bet they are really regretting the film where it looks like Caleb murdered a whole bunch of people.

The scariest part of Caleb was how he kept telling Amber that he knows she likes him. It doesn't help that he looks like his two favorite hobbies after hunting are date rape and rape rape.

Donny the groundskeeper is bonding with Derrick the Parks and Recs guy over lawn care. It would be hilarious if Donny exposed Derrick's lie through some weird, intimate knowledge of pesticides or crabgrass.

I'm putting faith in CBS protecting her. And I have no doubt Devin would leap into action if she was threatened. When you think about it the best thing that could happen for everyone is for him to lose it in the controlled environment of the house with cameras rolling. Staff on hand to stop him and plenty of admissible footage for court. We can save the next anonymous Texan waitress who smiled when she gave him his coffee.

If you have an iPhone or iPad with the HDMI out video adapter that would work. Other ways would be use a Xbox360/PS3/PS4 and stream it to the tv. I'd say you could also use an Xbone (the third Xbox) but no one actually owns that POS and if they did they've likely chucked it out the window by now anyways.

My laptop has an HDMI out so I do it that way or if your computer and tv are close together run an HDMI cable from your vidya card to the teevee.

Maybe check to see if the CBS app can be added to your Samsung apps or if Samsung has an app that can be a media server to shoot the picture to the tv from your compy.

We could set one up on goon approved irc.synirc.net but we have to use a different channel than #bigbrother cause that's the one the SA Big Brother forum game uses for whatever it is they do in there. It auto kicks you out.

So... squat on #bb16?

IRC has been a deadzone mostly for chat in past seasons 'cept during big events like Endurance Challenges and not everyone wants to deal with scary internet badlands IRC. Last year we kind of built a round robin of friends using the CBS chat box but it's pretty lovely and slow.

Butt first, let's
check the feeds.

Caleb made a couple of tries earlier in the night to talk to Amber but there were people in the room socializing and having a good time so he just sat nervously and stared as he usually does when there are people around. He never said a word to Amber as far as I saw but he got so awkward and nervous that the cameras started just giving closeups of his hands fidgeting. I nearly choked on my dinner.

He talked to the boys about it and said he hates it when a girl "pretends" she's not interested because she doesn't want people to know so she "talks to everyone expect you." Yep. Amber has been clearly giving Caleb the cold shoulder today (especially ever since Derrick flat out told her Caleb was into her and looking to make a move) but sadly Crazy Caleb has decided that its not because she's not interested but rather because she's afraid that if they enter into a showmance it will ruin their games.

Sadly (or amusingly, depending on your perspective) Derrick seems to have decided to instigate this either to mess up people's games or for his own sick amusement. Not only did he tell Amber earlier in the day but he's been seriously encouraging Caleb in his delusion. Thanks to Evil Derrick's pushing Caleb now plans to tell Amber that everyone already "knows" they're in a showmance so its silly for her to play these games.

So yeah. We've taken a large step deeper into Taxi Driver territory. It continues to walk that fine line between hilarious and terrifying.

And now Cody and Zach have joined in on the clearly mocking encouragement of Caleb and he's eating it up.

I probably jumped the gun on that one. He was wishing her a happy birthday openly by name when feeds came on and someone said something that made it seem like they knew, but I haven't heard anything to confirm it since then. So yeah, I probably made a bad assumption.

I wonder how many women are having PTSD symptoms from seeing Caleb on tv. A lot, probably.

So there is pretty much nothing Amber can do that would convince him she's not into him. I bet she could self-evict, saying "that psycho Caleb is creeping me out. I'm going home," and he'd think it was because she didn't want to embarrass her family by having a romantic relationship on camera, and he'll just look her up when they get out. I see a restraining order in his future.

Yeah. The whole thing is kind of crossing the line and getting less amusing to me now that he's shifted from "awkward and nervous" to "rapey." Who'd have thought being a racist would be the least of his creepy character?

Now that he's openly talking all macho about it with the guys and they're clearly egging him on and having fun with it its just a matter of time before this becomes house gossip. So at least this is going to come to a head soon? Probably? I guess its better that it comes out in the open than Amber keeps having to walk on eggshells around her would be sex offender. If nothing else it should turn the majority of the house against Caleb if he doesn't cool it once this goes public.

Paula's working Caleb hard to try and keep him on her side but even she knows this is kind of crazy. Caleb is super losing it.

"It irritates me when I want to give someone attention but they don't want it."

That sums up this story in a nutshell. And the Defense's case.

The big difference being that Billy looked like this:


while Caleb looks like this:


and seems to have interests that are closely aligned with those of Amber (guns, hunting). It just looks he might not be Amber's type.

Caleb seems to be a nice guy and not the bigoted rapist some people make him out to be. Hell he sleeps in the same bed as Frankie for gods sake.

Creepy Caleb updates...

Last night Amber sat near him. Caleb then started juggling to impress her and she said she wanted to learn. Caleb was happy. But then Devin said he wanted to learn and Amber slinked away. Caleb was sad.

Paula talked to him about Amber, recommending caution and patience. She suggested he stop telling stories about fighting and killing things and instead talk to her about the Bible. Caleb seemed disappointed to lose his A moves but thought about it. Pao Pao also encouraged him to wait "two or three days", which is oddly the rough time for the POV Ceremony to happen and Caleb to lose all his power.

Amber and Nicole were doing their makeup in HOH.
Nicole: "Are you going to sleep up here?"
Amber: "No! I'm never sleeping anywhere without girls."

Frankie and Amber were talking in HOH when Caleb arrived. Caleb told Amber she should hang out with him and Frankie (they sleep together) and she said "Maybe." She then went to bed. Later Caleb came back up to HOH and shouted "Where's my girlfriend?! She said she'd hang out!" She then said he was going down to get her but Frankie said he would. He didn't.

During their nightly pillow talk Caleb asked Frankie if he should ask to read the Bible with Amber. Frankie asked if Caleb has a Bible and he said no so Frankie suggested he just ask to borrow Amber's Bible.

This morning when music played apparently Amber and Caleb danced in the backyard and Amber took off Caleb's hat. We know this even though the feeds were off because Caleb retold the story multiple times. After it happened he ran to his HOH and grabbed a beer but by the time he got back the music had stopped and Amber had gone to bed. Sad Caleb poured his beer out in the sink.

This has been a true story. Nothing has been fabricated or embellished for drama.

I guess the lesson here is that looks have nothing to do with whether or not you act like a total dweeb around girls you like. 90% of his stress and disappointment would be gone if he just talked to her like a normal human being and they got to know each other a bit before being honest with her about his feelings.

This still has the potential to end innocently enough, as I think Frankie will talk him down. I know he was in the military so I honestly wonder if maybe he just doesn't have much experience with this women stuff.

From his interview though:

Finish this sentence: My life’s motto is… If you want something bad enough, do whatever you got to do to get it; no matter the consequence.

Uh oh

What would you take into the house and why: My bible just to get my daily word in and scriptures to give me guidance and peace.

Butt first, let's
check the feeds.

I'm completely convinced there's some sad story in Caleb's past that led him to spend the rest of his life overcompensating and desperately seeking approval. In two days I've seen him boast about his hunting skills, his fighting skills, how he's modeled and people wanted him to act, he was a record breaking high school football player and the only white guy on his basketball team, he waltzes and knows the Dirty Dancing routine, he juggles, he does one handed cartwheels, he competitive body builds and has been both impressively huge and impressively lean, he writes songs and loves to sing, he plays piano, and in high school he won a statewide poetry contest.

I know all this off of two days of feeds because he never loving shuts up about how awesome he is. "Overcompensation" and "insecurity" don't even begin to cover it. I expect to one day turn on the feeds and see this guy riding a unicycle or performing a magic routine.

Here's my totally made up origin story. Young Caleb was pudgy. Not obese, just some baby fat. He had a crush on the pretty girl at school who we'll call Mamber. One day he decided to profess his love to her so he went on stage during lunch time and said he loved her. She rejected him and everyone laughed. Caleb was so embarrassed he cried and peed his pants. He ran home to get comfort from his mommy but when he got home daddy told him she had left them because she didn't love them. Caleb was heartbroken but daddy said "don't feel so bad, she wasn't your real mommy anyway. Your real parents out you up for adoption because they didn't want you." Then he pantsed Caleb and gave him a wedgie.

THAT would explain to me why he seems this driven to prove to the world that he's awesome in every way.

Ok, so we have some non Creepy Caleb drama tonight.

Caleb is going to backdoor Joey. Everyone knows this. But Caleb has been lying and going to a few random people asking them to tell him who they want to go up and he'll just do what the house wants. Thing is, Caleb is sloppy and didn't ask everyone and Joey's been asking around. So Joey went to Caleb and asked him about it and Caleb said he had talked to everyone. Joey said "Well, a bunch of people say you haven't and you haven't asked me." Caleb says "yes, I did." So Joey announced to the house that Caleb was polling everyone so they should make sure he talks to them. Caleb then ran to hide in his HOH.

Now Joey is an idiot and playing this all wrong but she's caught Caleb in a blatant lie and he has no idea how to handle it. And what Joey lacks in brains she makes up for in balls so she could push this and create some drama. It almost certainly won't save her but she might be able to expose/take down some people on her way out the door. Maybe, maybe not. But its nice for something to happen that isn't Devin being an rear end in a top hat or Caleb being a creeper.
