From Frankie’s controversial comments to Nicole’s future with Hayden and Caleb’s crush, the Big Brother 16 houseguests reveal all to BuzzFeed News in their first post-finale interviews.
1. What would have happened if Cody brought Victoria to the final two?
After winning the final Head of Household competition, Cody had to decide whether he’d like to go against Derrick or Victoria in the finals. He chose Derrick, who went on to win the game and $500,000 by a 7 to 2 vote. But what would’ve happened if Cody chose Victoria instead?
In the Big Brother backyard, BuzzFeed News polled the jury members following the finale and found out that Cody would have won, 7 to 2, if he’d taken Victoria instead. “Wow, thanks a lot for telling me that,” Cody joked when informed of the alternate results. That said, he wouldn’t change a thing.
“I would have regretted not taking him,” Cody said to BuzzFeed News. “Even if I won, I owed so much of my game to him, if I didn’t take him, it would have been out of my character.”
As for those two votes for Victoria, they were cast by Frankie and Derrick! “For backstabbing me like that, I’d vote for Victoria,” Derrick said. Frankie reasoned, “I feel like it would have been the ultimate break of trust and loyalty, and that’s what sent me out of the house, and it would be something I would not have respected in Cody’s game.”
5. Was Jocasta speaking in tongues?
During several competitions, it looked as if Jocasta — a minister — was actually speaking in tongues. “Yes, that was me speaking in tongues,” she confirmed to BuzzFeed News.
“Spirituality is me and sometimes it just really takes over and, the next thing I know, I’m in a whole other dimension. That is a way for me to release and feel good. And it’s a wonderful motivating factor. Hey, God works!”
7. Why does everyone shout in the Diary Room?
One of the biggest fan complaints is that every houseguest in nearly every season screams their thoughts during Diary Room confessionals. But why?!?!
“They tell you to,” Derrick said of off-camera producers. “Whenever you talk normally, they ask for more energy. You do what you’re told, but as a fan, I see it every year, and now I’m guilty of it.”
His claim was backed up by more than one embarrassed houseguest. “OH MY GOD! I knew it,” Cody exclaimed. “The producers are like, ‘Bring some energy!’ So you get loud. I walked out of that room every time and said to a number of different people, ‘I am going to watch this and be Chef Joe. I know I’m screaming at the camera.’ Damnit, I knew it. I’m a loud guy, and I knew that going in there, but… damn.”
Although at least one houseguest knew full well what he was doing. “I’d win a competition, chug a Red Bull, and go into the Diary Room flying like a bull,” Caleb said. “I gotta get pumped up, that’s what the people want to see. They want us to be fun and energetic and doing ‘judy chops’ all over the place. That’s what they like.”
12. Did anyone actually care that Frankie is Ariana Grande’s brother?
All season long, Frankie kept a secret: his sister is Ariana Grande. Then, after his duplicitous ways were exposed, he made a last-ditch effort to save his game and revealed his family tree to the house. While Frankie shared this information with the importance of a presidential briefing, the houseguests seemed unfazed.
“No one cared,” Nicole said, with a laugh. “I didn’t know who she was,” Caleb added. “I don’t listen to that kind of music. But the fact I didn’t care was because [Ariana] wasn’t playing the game. I don’t care who his sister is, I care about you being loyal to me. I mean, it’s neat that a guy I lay with in bed has a huge pop star sister, but as far as the game, it didn’t change a thing.”
Cody, meanwhile, kept waiting for the other shoe to drop. “I was a little disappointed,” he said, adding that he thought a bigger revelation was coming. “It was a good game move on his part and the only reason he did that was for game reasons, but, honestly, I was laughing. It wasn’t something I was too interested in.”
And that’s the one thing everyone did agree on: Regardless of the importance of the announcement, it had the intended effect on Frankie’s game. “It was a good play because he was dead in the game. The house had flipped on him and he had no choice but to do something big and pull out that card. That’s what he did, and it worked. It bought him a few weeks, but ultimately his pride got in the way and that was his downfall.”
14. How does Caleb explain his controversial Instagram comments?
Before the season even started, websites caught wind of racist comments made by Caleb on Instagram. It was reported that he said, in response to someone defending President Obama, “You believe in murder? You agree with f*gs? I guess so but I don’t agree with murdering a innocent baby which he clearly doesn’t mind. Nothin has changed in these last four years. Your just a democrat that wants that Muslim monkey in office. I’m done with you, your dismissed.”
When presented with the comment by BuzzFeed News, Caleb had no memory of the interaction. “Honestly, I don’t know where that’s coming from,” he said. “My game and how I played my game completely crushes that comment. It’s not who I am as a person. Like I said, I believe the way I played my game and the people I was closest to in this house — Amber, Devin, Frankie — I think that sums up everything and crushes that comment.”
