In the spirit of Big Brother ’s Sweet 16 season, quite a few milestones were reached on Wednesday’s live finale.
For one, the season ender resulted in a rare Final Two duo that had been planning this moment since the very beginning. Big Brother is a long game — at 97 days, this season clocks in at the longest ever — and with so many variables at play, it’s not often that a Final Two deal is seen through, making Derrick and Cody’s accomplishment even more impressive.
But the 90-minute broadcast was full of much, much more than Derrick’s ultimate victory.

Team America succeeded with its first two missions fairly easily on Big Brother 16. Frankie, Derrick and Donny each earned $10,000 thanks to getting people to believe Zach is Amanda Zuckerman's cousin and nominating Amber, but they failed to get a 20-second fight in the past week (though they think they won it). Now they have their fourth task, with less than a day to complete it.

Here's a meager suggestion: Cherish this time now, because we've arrived at the most enjoyable stage of the "Big Brother" season. While there are still plenty of obvious losers with cellophane eyes and candy brains who need to leave Chenbot Manor and head back to their Not So Elite modeling gigs, we've finally arrived at the moment where we can recognize everyone in the house, identify their weaknesses and strengths, and make real predictions. During last night's Power of Veto episode, I came up with five big points to consider as the season progresses. To validate my points, I'm dragging along Andy Herren -- the winner of BB15 -- to share his thoughts on the players too. Here are our five biggest takeaway's from Wednesday's Pov spectacular. 1. Donny is the best. And the worst. Andy Herren: I hate Donny. Don’t get me wrong, I Love Donny, but that’s why I hate him.

Big Brother introduced eight of this season’s 16 competitors in Part 1 of the Season 16 premiere, in which host Julie Chen announced two game-changing new twists.
Meet The Contestants
Paola ‘Pow Pow’ Shea is a 27-year-old DJ, who has posed for Maxim and is an avid gamer. She’s looking to use her womanly wiles to manipulate the men of the house, “even the ugly ones!”
Donny Thompson, 42, is a school groundskeeper and definitely one of the most visually recognizable housemates this season. His big beard looks straight out of Duck Dynasty, and his claim to fame is that he was the janitor at Kellie Pickler’s high school.
Cody Calafiore, 23, a sales account executive, is a former professional soccer player. For his introduction package, he parades around shirtless on the soccer field – yes, ladies and gentlemen, he is single. According to his online bio, he’s also a member of...

Plenty of pop-culture stories from 2013 were fodder for public outrage. As the year comes to a close, Zap2it takes a look back at some of the biggest uproars and asks: U Still Mad?
"Big Brother" has had no shortage of controversies over the years -- remember when Shannon brushed the toilet with Hardy's toothbrush? Things were all so simple then.
But the summer of 2013 crew really takes the cake. It took approximately a week for the true colors to start showing on the live feeds. How easily they forget that almost literally every single thing they say and do is broadcast on the Internet 24 hours a day.
Aaryn Gries (above) became the face of the scandal after her comments about Korean contestant Helen Kim needing to "make some rice" instead of crying all the time, and making fun of Candice Stewart's "blackness" coming out (Candice is a black woman...

Andy Herren outlasted some of the cockiest and brashest houseguests in Big Brother history to win the CBS reality series’ 15th season on Wednesday night, and he did it using two tricks: staying furtive and staying paranoid. The 26-year-old Aurora, Il native never threatened the household with intimidation tactics like early evictee Jeremy McGuire, who would “walk from room to room pounding his fist into his hand before competitions, making sure everyone saw” (says Herren) or Amanda Zuckerman, who would get into screaming fights with fellow houseguests like Elissa Slater and eventual runner-up GinaMarie Zimmerman. He simply predicted everyone’s behavior well, attached himself to winning alliances, and ditched those alliances with precise timing once they staled. Unlike everyone else in the game, he was never for a second complacent.

Another double eviction, another lively Big Brother. Whose game came to an end? [Warning: Spoilers ahead from Thursday's live double-eviction episode.] CBS wasted no time touting the 500th episode milestone for the summer staple, with host Julie Chen mentioning the landmark at the very top of the hour. It's Day 77, by the way. Head of Household GinaMarie Zimmerman surprised the only power duo left in the house, Amanda Zuckerman and McCrae Olson, nominating them for eviction. Amanda believed that GinaMarie's nominations were purely personal, that she was "jealous" of her relationship with McCrae. (Not so.) After
