Lamasquerade Posted August 2, 2014 Share Posted August 2, 2014 The whole Team America thing was stupid from the get-go, mostly because BB decideswhat the tasks will be and then allegedly America decides on which one.They should have made it that if someone wanted to opt out of the "mission" they wouldalso be dropped from Team America and let the other two continue to play.I seriously doubt Frankie and Derrick would have gone thru with it had it just beenleft up to them. They are both big talkers but not big move makers. Much easier to havethe scapegoat to blame it on.I agree. Donny would have got no where if he insisted that it was Cody, Zach or Christine that were targeted.Yep, everything they have pushed others to do was still a safe move. Their goal was to keep their numbers to control the house and they accomplished that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
linda60639 Posted August 3, 2014 Share Posted August 3, 2014 The last mission where America wanted Team America to play puppet master and get two HGs to argue at the Veto nomination ceremony failed, IMO. Zach's tirade against Amber did not fulfill the goal that was stated. But apparently BB changed the rules and the intent of the mission so that Team America could win. I have totally lost all respect for the team! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
straykat Posted August 3, 2014 Share Posted August 3, 2014 I'm pretty sure BB checked that mission off as failed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

linda60639 Posted August 3, 2014 Share Posted August 3, 2014 My bad!! Instead of going to CBS.com I relied on information that I had read on another BB site which said that TA successfully completed that mission. It said that BB had agreed that if Zach would berate Amber for at least 20 seconds that the mission would be considered accomplished. I thought this was ridiculous and it made me lose respect for the team. I should have verified that information before posting my comment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From the feeds we got the impression that it was mission accomplishedafter the nomination ceremony but that failed. The mission was a 20 second argument betweentwo and Amber just looked at Zach no matter how hard he tried! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marty Posted August 8, 2014 Share Posted August 8, 2014 STUPID STUPID STUPID MISSION AWork together to convince someone to go on the block as a pawn and then get them evicted.

luvmanatees Posted August 15, 2014 Share Posted August 15, 2014 I would only vote for "B" if I knew it would be Franki having this happen to. Both of these are to lame and they need to stop! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
straykat Posted August 15, 2014 Share Posted August 15, 2014 These missions must come from the least creative member of BB production, Grodner. Just stop the stupid AT/AP twist. They do nothing for the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joystiick Posted August 15, 2014 Share Posted August 15, 2014 Would mission B require Donny to stay up for 24 hours? I can't see that happening. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

linda60639 Posted August 15, 2014 Share Posted August 15, 2014 Somebody please explain to me why it was "risky" for Team America to undertake that last mission? After Frankie won the BOtB , Donny was still left on the block. I am sure that particular mission would have been very helpful to Donny, ensuring Donny's ability to stay in the game, if successful. Sure Donny agreed with Derrick that it was "risky", but that was because Derrick was so adamant about it, and Donny didn't want to push it because it would seem self-serving on his part. But doesn't it make sense that in Donny's position, he would have really wanted to undertake that mission? Now remember this was after Zach had won the Veto and before Nicole was chosen as the replacement nominee. It would have been relatively easy for TA (well Derrick, in particular) to have gotten Victoria to volunteer to be put on the block next to Donny so that they could have voted her out. Derrick and Frankie could have worked their magic on the Detonators to get rid of Victoria, while Donny could have pretended to Victoria that he was ready to go home. There was no need to pressure Christine to put Nicole on the block. They could have gotten Nicole out later or the first week that she didn't win HOH or the Veto. It was not vital to evict Nicole at that time. It would have been more money in TA's pockets. Obviously, getting Nicole out was more important to Derrick and Frankie than undertaking a so called "risky" mission. They just want to earn $5000 breezing thru stupid missions like starting rumors and hiding HG's belongings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good theory but Victoria would have squawked like a barnyard full of free-range chickens if Derrick had even suggested such a thing, which is exactly why he told her she was not going up and safe and she says "really???". Unlike Dan's "no clue" Danielle, Victoria is not a stupid person and remember she and her mom spent hours poolside (maybe even at Grodner's Country Club..she WAS by her own admission recruited) plotting her week-by-week game. Derrick (like Dan) is also no BB idiot and he was/is not about to tip his hand & give away her jury vote or votes for him F2 if he is sitting next to her.

gerberadaisy7 Posted August 16, 2014 Share Posted August 16, 2014 It seems clear to me that Team America is only being kept around to protect Donny at this point. After so many failed and/or rejected missions, it is nothing but an embarrassing joke now and serves no other purpose than that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they played their own game and not worried about the money, Team America would already been gone. It's also extra BB publicity for each of them...keeps them in the spotlight and keeps ratings up.

The missions sure don't and Derrick and Frankie are going to do whatever they want for their own games. Derrick nominated Donny this week, TA didn't protect him from going up on the block.
