Quickly recapping...
This week's HoH was a complete disaster, for several reasons. Called "BBC Student Film Festival", the HGs had to guess which comp or task is depicted in a film slowly puzzle-pixelated. If they get it right, they can eliminate another HG. If they get it wrong, they are eliminated. It's pretty easy to throw this one. Unless you're Bobby. He was the first to buzz in, hardly waiting for the first film to come on the screen. His guess was "V for Veto". Much to his and everyone's surprise, he got it correct. When Arisa asked whom he wanted eliminated, he stumbled and said "Sindy". He tries it again on the next film and this time, he throws it successfully. Bruno and Kevin manage to also throw it. Then lo and behold, Pilar steps up and guesses correctly. Mind you, it was awkward...she keeps grabbing her face or mouth. But she wins HoH. Who would have seen that coming?
This week's Have Not comp was pretty brutal. A game of Bubble Boy tackle. Lots of fun to watch, but some of the HGs took a beating, especially Sarah. Her teammates - Godfrey and Kevin, aren't helping because they want to throw it. Godfrey needs to talk game with Kevin while they are HNs.
Pili's reign as HoH is just as awkward as you can imagine. Don't get me wrong. I like Pilar. The thing is, Big Brother is NOT THE GAME FOR HER. Both Kevin and Ashleigh had to walk her through the alliance situation in the house. When she finally decides to nominate Godfrey and Sindy, she asks for Ash, Kevin and Zach to keep Sindy away so she doesn't have to deal with her campaigning. The nomination ceremony was no cakewalk for her either. Sindy tells her, "I'm really disappointed in you." Pilar cries over this, and once again I shake my head. Good God girl.
The PoV comp is called "BB Concentration". Pilar, Godfrey, Sindy, Willow, Bobby and Kevin play. They have to make matching pairs of KFC $5 Fill-ups cards. There are punishments and rewards as well, and the winner gets $5,000. Godfrey wins PoV, while Willow wins a slop pass and must wear a ketchup costume for 24 hours.
At the PoV Ceremony, Godfrey saves himself and Pili - in another excruciatingly painful segment nominates Brittnee as a replacement pawn.

Big Brother Canada 2 Recap of Episode 15 Week 6 HoH and Nominations
We pick up from last Thursday, halfway through the "Blind Side" comp for the new HoH.
Kenny answered correctly and takes out Adel
Neda takes out Kenny
Heather takes out Sabrina
Jon takes out Allison
Jon takes out Rachelle
Jon takes out Sarah
Arlie answers incorrectly and is eliminated (he threw it again)
Heather takes out Jon
Heather takes out Neda
In a complete blind-side, Heather wins HoH. Looks like a lot of people underestimated Heather. Heather and Adel meet up in the bathroom and do the happy dance to celebrate a win by the good guys. Heather wants to back door Kenny, but Adel has gotten a little cocky and convinces her to put Kenny up straight up. Bad, bad, bad decision.
Heather gets her HoH room. My first thought is, who is going to be the first to go and kiss Heather's ass? Like Heather says, she can see them (Kenny, Sarah, Rachelle and of course Sabrina) rolling their eyes in the mirror when her back is turned. In reality, Sabrina gives Heather the most sinister side glances imaginable. Scary.
Heather puts Rachelle, Kenny and Sarah. Sarah volunteers because she has a slop pass and doesn't want Sabrina to go without food...because Sabrina without food is like a walker on The Walking Dead. She'll go right for the jugular. How commendable of Sarah taking one for the team like that. Plus she'll get to spend time with her new bgff(best gay friend forever) in the Half Not room, because apparently Sarah thinks he needs constant attention.
BB tells the HGs they have 15 minutes to pack their bags. They assume it's an instant eviction. Chaos ensues. Sabrina says to one of her allies the plan is to vote Rachelle out over Kenny. Oopsie. Guess who heard that?
It's not an instant eviction. You see it was raining out that day and the kids needed a rainy day activity before they start fighting for Mumsy's attention.They are divided into pairs and must make a puppet of the other person. It's like some kind of bizzaro group therapy exercise. They must talk to each other in the character of their puppet. Sabrina uses this opportunity to tell Rachelle that if Rachelle and Kenny are on the block together, she will have to vote out Rachelle. Even though Sabrina swore on her head to explode that 100 billion percent she loves Rachelle and would never vote her out. I am still waiting for her head to explode. Rachelle looks pissed. Or maybe she was just a bit confused that the sock puppet knew so much.
Every time each HG spoke out of character, an item was taken out of their luggage. Sabrina had the most items taken away...21.
Kenny gives his best plea to Heather to not put him up for eviction. When Heather asks who he thinks she should put up, he suggests Jon. Heather is really enjoying how everyone is now kissing her ass. Then Kenny goes to Jon and wants to mend some fences, but Jon remembers last week when he went to Kenny under the same circumstances. Needless to say...it ain't happening, Kenny.
BB calls everyone to the living room. Someone ate something while a Have Not. Oh oh. Yep it was the ditz Rachelle, who accidentally ate one of Heather's Fuzzy Peaches...you know,...accidentally. It was a complete accident that her hand went in the jar, pulled out the candy than popped it in her mouth. Completely understandable. You don't pay attention to your hand for a few minutes and it will shove food in your mouth. Happened to me yesterday with the cake. So now everyone is on slop and cold water for 48 hours. Here we go. Sabrina cries at the thought of no food for 2 days and everyone fears for their lives. They may have to make a rudimentary crossbow to put her down.
Sabrina ceases an opportunity to poison Allison's mind. Meanwhile, Rachelle follows Heather around like a puppy. I think this was her shallow attempt at pretending to be Heather's new friend. This is the most I have heard Rachelle talk in the last couple of weeks since she became Sabrina's lap dog. Heather strings her along, loving every awkward minute. Rachelle states the obvious: if she is put up as a pawn, there is a chance she may go home. Genius. Of course Rachelle is telling Heather this? Rachelle? The same Rachelle who put Heather up as pawn next to Ika? Without telling Heather beforehand?
Heather tells Allison she will be nominating her as pawn. This was the truth. Heather also tells Rachelle she will be nominated as a pawn. This was just Heather handing out her own brand of justice...making Rachelle sweat on it overnight for getting everyone punished and ruining her HoH.
Nomination time. Kenny and Allison are nominated. Then friend and foe alike all hug each other. Isn't that nice?

Big Brother Canada Recap of Week 6
Spoilers from Live Feeds
Tonight's episode was all about the Chevrolet Power Shift Instant Eviction and the ensuing ramifications in the house. Just another producer-driven method of creating drama and exposing alliances - and they even managed to have it sponsored by Chevrolet.
We start off with Arisa in the intro giving us a glimpse literally behind the scenes of the house - to remind us that this really is a stage set. It was quite interesting to see, because I have to say that the house was very nicely done. Anyway, the new HOH, Topaz, is called to the HOH room - a request that leaves everyone dumbfounded. Once she is there, all the other HGs are told to gather in the living room. Peter seems to be the only one who suspects something big is about to go down, and he's keeping his mouth shut. Topaz is told that this is an instant nomination and she has 5 minutes to nominate two HGs. So what does she do? She considers her options...by talking to herself:
...Talla - everyone wants her out.
...AJ - to be a pawn again
...Andrew - as the target, but if he wins veto, a stronger player can be substituted.
Oh wonderful....because the TV came on in the living room when Topaz went into the HOH room. At first the HGs thought it was by accident, then they all shut up when it dawned on them what was going down. Gary goes into a lockdown mode, probably afraid that Topaz will say something about their alliance or her fauxmance with Alec. Talla starts to go ballistic, but Peter gives her a "shush". Not just for her benefit. Peter is weighing the opportunities in his head...I swear he is always thinking 5 moves ahead of the game.
Topaz nominates AJ and Andrew. Then Arisa lets her know the others watched and listened to her the whole time. She must feel like crap. And just as she thought things couldn't get worse...things get worse. Arisa announces it is also an Instant Eviction. Topaz probably believes that both her alliances will side with her and vote Andrew out. Wrong. Only Gary and Talla vote for Andrew. Alec votes for AJ, wondering how he will get himself out of this one. It's 4 to 2 for AJ, and poor AJ gets booted. Gotta say, AJ took it very well in his exit interview with Arisa. We will miss his comic relief. But AJ is the first member of the jury, and revenge is a dish that is best served cold.
Meanwhile, Topaz is screwed. She tries to recover by saying she doesn't remember what she said. Plus, she still doesn't know if they heard everything or not. Peter pulls Emmett aside and they talk in whispers. He explains how screwed Topaz is. What a dummy for talking out loud to herself and not recognizing how strange the situation was this is Big Brother, after all and nothing is ever that innocent. She is out of power now plus she has alienated Andrew and Talla. Peter is in Big Brother Heaven and loving every minute of it.
Topaz runs to Alec about his vote - why he didn't vote for Andrew after overhearing who her target was. Alec plays dumb. Topaz plays dumb. Then they accuse each other of a lack of trust for what's best for their faux-mance. Alec heads off to play the jilted lover. It's become a sympathy grab, and he's trying to make Topaz out to be the bad guy in it. Andrew goes to talk to him and he is buying the act. How convenient for Alec. Andrew now believes that he has Alec's support because of the vote - that Alec stuck his neck out on that one just to save him.
Topaz's reign as HOH was short - no luxuries or theme room. It's time to move on. The HOH Competition is called "Diary Room Confessions". It's just as it's name suggests. The HGs have to guess which eliminated HG said what in their DR confession. It comes down to a tie breaker between Andrew and Talla. This is twice in a row where Talla gets to the end in these quizes. Is she maybe not as dumb as she's been acting? Nah.They had to guess, without going over, the number of yellow balls used as pollen in the Bees Knees competition. Andrew is afraid that Talla might do the Price-Is-Right-Underbid, and guess 4. So he puts in a good bid, and wins it. Looks like he'll be getting some revenge on Topaz.
But wait a second. Along with his win, he has to name four HGs as this week's Have-Nots. Choose wisely, Andrew. He starts. Umm....Emmett. That's one. Peter pipes in. He points to Topaz and says, "What about her?" Topaz is two. Then Gary is three, just because he hasn't been on slop yet. Peter volunteers as the forth. This is when Gary goes ballistic.
And that's an understatement. He starts whimpering. He starts pouting. We hear stuff like "Have you seen my size?" and "How am I supposed to do it" and something about "fading away". This is still at the HOH comp set. We get the commentary from Emmett. It's the best one-liner of the night...someone has to fill AJ's shoes. Emmett says, "He (Gary) starts bawling like we're in a grocery store and he can't have Froot Loops!!!". Yet, it was so true. Gary runs inside, locks himself in the bathroom stall, screams and cries. He's unconsolable. Several HGs run to comfort him. "I just don't know how to do it with my body type". I think it was Emmett who says, "Well, you always say you want to lose some weight, so now's your chance". Gary cries, "Now you're calling me fat!!!". Oh dear God. He throws himself down on the floor and now he's wailing. And wailing. And wailing. And although I know that the sound techs kind of amplified the wails, I am still kind of looking at the screen and left asking myself, "were we just treated to an on-air audition for The Birdcage?"
Andrew shows off his HOH room. Vampire themed. Letter from his twin brother. All boring. But it isn't long before Gary is knocking at the door for a little conversation concerning Andrew's choices for nomination. Of course, it will be Topaz, because she had the balls to target him in that B.S. of an Instant Eviction fiasco. Of course she's the target. Then he tells Gary he will be the pawn, so that he will save himself and not Topaz with a POV. He then goes on to say if he or Gary should win POV, Gary would be saved and the real target with be put up - someone with power. Gary is confused. Wasn't Topaz the target? Andrew is flip-flopping on this. Gary says he expected more from Andrew. He expected Andrew to be stronger and really shake things up. Oh. But wait...
Yeah here it is. Andrew. In the Diary room. Psst...the real target? Gary.
Recap of Episode 16 Wednesday, April 3 2013
With only 8 HGs remaining, nerves are tender and tempers are flaring. Just what you would expect by trapping people inside a house for over a month and having their every move recorded. Something's got to break somewhere.
With the Quatro now history, Emmett realizes he must ally with more than just Jillian. He needs numbers to fight off The Shield. Andrew is happy to oblige. Together they dream up the "East Coast Final 3". But they still need at least one more. Hmmn. Who can they get to help them? Perhaps if they start to show Talla they will protect her, they can have her. Meanwhile Peter is thinking the same thing. He is pretty sure that Talla is in the "pocket of the Shield". So it looks like Talla will be a key player in the next couple of weeks.
Andrew reflects on the loss of his bestie, AJ. He is out for revenge. He's so lonely without AJ that he has dinner with his picture. Talla notices, so Andrew points the picture toward her and says, "He's not listening, he's looking at your boobs".
The Power of Veto Comp is called "Build a Demon". The players are Andrew, Gary, Topaz, Alec, Peter and Talla. Jillian is the host - she's dressed a la tramp-vamp. Of course the comp is inspired by The Evil Dead, which just happens to be premiering this Friday. The players are blindfolded and tethered to a rope. They must search for body parts in a mucky pit of despair and then build a demon. Not as simple as it sounds, especially when the ropes get tangled. As Jillian yells out the play-by-play, she reflects on the competition being just like teaching - except for her slutty clothes and the body parts. What a great teacher she must be. Although Gary gives it a good try, it's Andrew who wins the large lucite V necklace. Now he's stoked. He's very happy because everyone is kissing his ass. Now he's a physical threat and a mental threat. He's just a threat, and I am sure everyone has noticed.
Along with winning the POV, Andrew wins a special advance screening of The Evil Dead and chooses Jillian and Talla to watch it with him. Talla spends the entire time screaming her ass off. So annoying. She needed a good bitch-slapping.
Once again, we hear Emmett and Andrew reflecting on this East Coast alliance. They consider Talla. Emmett thinks they can win her over if they show her they can provide protection. Right on cue, and very conveniently, we see Gary really going off on poor Talla. And of course Emmett steps in to comfort her.
More drama. Talla is still scared from the movie. Give me a break. Anyway, Alec decides to scare her by grabbing her leg. This makes Talla want to sllep with someone, even though she is in a room full of people. Makes perfect sense. So she jumps in bed with Alec. Makes perfect sense. And who walks in and sees this? Why Topaz of course. And even though Topaz claims to be over Alec, she goes off on Talla. Oh but don't worry, they patch things up. At least they pretend to.
The POV ceremony is no big surprise...Andrew does not use it. Topaz hopes for a miracle to keep both her and Gary in the house. Something tells me there will be no last minute reprieve.
Recap of Episode 17 - Thursday April 4 2013: All That Glitters
Looks like Talla is the centre of the Big Brother universe. All the HGs seem to revolve around her. Alliances will depend on it. So what does little Miss Popularity do under all this pressure? Why she gets herself wasted. Yeah there was another reward from Canada that involves booze. Have you ever noticed that when booze comes into the house, Talla is on it right away. This was perhaps the worst yet. She was all over Topaz...with kisses and even a lapdance. Holy crap. Then she tries to get in the hot tub, she falls in...right onto Andrew. Then she peed on him. Lovely. And didn't Emmett say just last night that he was going to make Talla feel protected in order to gain trust in an alliance? Well move over big guy, cos this time it's Peter to the rescue. perhaps you should have been paying attention Emmett. Anyway, Peter carried her first to the bathroom and then to the bedroom...fully aware of the advantages to helping her.
But wait a minute, there will soon be another free agent in the house. I hate to say it, but Gary is pretty much a goner. I wouldn't be overlooking Topaz just yet. This whole East Coast thing is by no means a Final Three. Got to remember that Andrew put up Topaz to avenge AJ. Now Topaz may be looking for a little revenge of her own when Gary is evicted. Alec sees this opportunity to make amends with Topaz. And it seems to work. For now. And everyone seems to agree the next HOH comp will be the most important one yet.
Ah....Family Time. We get to hear from Alec and Peter's Moms. Yeah they're great guys. And smart. And funny. Then there is the families of Emmett and Jillian. How sweet. Both families are practically doing up the guest list and planning menus for the wedding. Boring.
Unfortunately the eviction went down just as planned, and Gary was evicted 5-0. The big surprise was that he took it so well. I was kind of expecting another melt down. He protested being put on slop more than getting the boot. The best part was when he exited the house to the overwhelming cheers from the audience. Arisa told him that everyone feels like they know him...and his alter egos. We will miss you Gary Glitter!!! But I would love to know what advice he gave to Topaz....what side she should ally herself with.
The HOH Comp is called Iceberg Alley. it's an endurance challenge. They are standing on a ledge with just a handrail to stabilize themselves. Emmett of course opted out of wearing a shirt. Bad move. There is a pool of what looks like cold water in front of them. The iceberg jerks and Talla screams. Of course. Is it just me or are her screams really annoying. I am getting kind of tired of that whole act. Then cold rain and wind starts up to add a bit of difficulty to the challenge, and make Talla scream some more. But this won't end tonight, and we will have to wait until Sunday to see who wins. I will post any info derived from the live feeds if and when they come back up. Oh and one more thing...next week is another double eviction. So hold on it may be a bumpy ride.
- Andrew won POV and did not use it.
- Gary was evicted unanimously

Right on cue, and very conveniently, we see Gary really going off on poor Talla. And of course Emmett steps in to comfort her.
More drama. Talla is still scared from the movie. Give me a break. Anyway, Alec decides to scare her by grabbing her leg. This makes Talla want to sllep with someone, even though she is in a room full of people. Makes perfect sense. So she jumps in bed with Alec. Makes perfect sense. And who walks in and sees this? Why Topaz of course. And even though Topaz claims to be over Alec, she goes off on Talla. Oh but don't worry, they patch things up. At least they pretend to.
The POV ceremony is no big surprise...Andrew does not use it. Topaz hopes for a miracle to keep both her and Gary in the house. Something tells me there will be no last minute reprieve.
Recap of Episode 17 - Thursday April 4 2013: All That Glitters
Looks like Talla is the centre of the Big Brother universe. All the HGs seem to revolve around her. Alliances will depend on it. So what does little Miss Popularity do under all this pressure? Why she gets herself wasted. Yeah there was another reward from Canada that involves booze. Have you ever noticed that when booze comes into the house, Talla is on it right away. This was perhaps the worst yet. She was all over Topaz...with kisses and even a lapdance. Holy crap. Then she tries to get in the hot tub, she falls in...right onto Andrew. Then she peed on him. Lovely. And didn't Emmett say just last night that he was going to make Talla feel protected in order to gain trust in an alliance? Well move over big guy, cos this time it's Peter to the rescue. perhaps you should have been paying attention Emmett. Anyway, Peter carried her first to the bathroom and then to the bedroom...fully aware of the advantages to helping her.
But wait a minute, there will soon be another free agent in the house. I hate to say it, but Gary is pretty much a goner. I wouldn't be overlooking Topaz just yet. This whole East Coast thing is by no means a Final Three. Got to remember that Andrew put up Topaz to avenge AJ. Now Topaz may be looking for a little revenge of her own when Gary is evicted. Alec sees this opportunity to make amends with Topaz. And it seems to work. For now. And everyone seems to agree the next HOH comp will be the most important one yet.
Ah....Family Time. We get to hear from Alec and Peter's Moms. Yeah they're great guys. And smart. And funny. Then there is the families of Emmett and Jillian. How sweet. Both families are practically doing up the guest list and planning menus for the wedding. Boring.
Unfortunately the eviction went down just as planned, and Gary was evicted 5-0. The big surprise was that he took it so well. I was kind of expecting another melt down. He protested being put on slop more than getting the boot. The best part was when he exited the house to the overwhelming cheers from the audience. Arisa told him that everyone feels like they know him...and his alter egos. We will miss you Gary Glitter!!! But I would love to know what advice he gave to Topaz....what side she should ally herself with.
The HOH Comp is called Iceberg Alley. it's an endurance challenge. They are standing on a ledge with just a handrail to stabilize themselves. Emmett of course opted out of wearing a shirt. Bad move. There is a pool of what looks like cold water in front of them. The iceberg jerks and Talla screams. Of course. Is it just me or are her screams really annoying. I am getting kind of tired of that whole act. Then cold rain and wind starts up to add a bit of difficulty to the challenge, and make Talla scream some more. But this won't end tonight, and we will have to wait until Sunday to see who wins. I will post any info derived from the live feeds if and when they come back up. Oh and one more thing...next week is another double eviction. So hold on it may be a bumpy ride.
