BBCan3 Episode 11 Live Eviction & Week 5 HoH Comp

Ooooh....a cliffhanger.

When last we saw Bruno, he was just about to announce what he was going to do with his Power of Veto.

BBCan3: Episode 9 HoH/Noms & Episode 10 PoV Comp/Ceremony with Spoilers.

Just to save time...this is only a quick summary, followed by a few spoilers, speculation and clarification.

• HoH comp "Through the Wringer" continues. Godfrey gives Bruno 2 letters he needs. You can argue amongst yourselves if that is cheating or not. I tend to believe Bruno accepted them without thinking, in which case he should watch it. Down the road, if Godfrey wanted Bruno out of a comp, he could set him up. Bruno ends up winning and we get a very Rocky-esque musical accompaniment when he climbs up to hit the button for the win.

BBCan 3 Episode 7 Round 2 Noms & PoV - The 3 Laws of Fembotics

No hard feelings guys. You're just pawns. The Fembots have bigger fish to fry.

Sooo...

Brittnee has just won the HoH comp and Sarah yells out, "From pawn to queen in one move, right here." Sure everyone is excited for her, but you could tell it was very forced for some of them. Graig, Bobby and Bruno give her their obligatory hugs. They aren't happy and it shows. Graig says he thinks he has a good relationship with Brittnee. Apparentlt, in Graig-speak, a "good relationship" means "She is easy to manipulate." Bobby tries to pick Brittnee's brains about her plans for nominations, then tries to throw Johnny under the bus. Oh Bobby, you aren't very good at this. Brittnee just agrees with him and HIS (the Chop Shop's) "master plan" to nominate Johnny.

Johnny, just like Sarah, voted for Britnee in the Instant Eviction only so Naeha would be spared from a unanimous vote. It was a sympathy vote. Johnny is a bit worried that Brittnee may be a little pissed so he has a little talk with her. Brittnee understands what he did, but for now she wants to keep Johnny in the dark. You see, Johnny is a key figure in her "master plan." Nyuh, huh, ha.

Yep, that's right. Up until now Brittnee has been a pretty quiet house guest. We only knew she was in the house because she has been nominated twice. Even on the live feeds, she just seems to mope about and rarely talks. Of course, being a Have Not on slop for the last week may have had something to do with Brittnee chronically staring into space. I can't fault her for that. But now, Brittnee has suddenly become a player and she has her own plan.

Her target this week? Graig. The Ginga-Ninja himself. Brittnee's had enough of being his pawn. For now, she is going to keep him at ease, pretending to do his will. Then BAM. Graig's going to find himself back-doored.

Cos that's what Fembots do. Brittnee and Sarah refer to themselves as Fembots. All fluffy and smiley on the outside, pretending to have no clue as to what's going on. But on the inside they're circuits and wires. Cold and calculating.

Brittnee goes in the vault and shortlists Bobby, Godfrey, Kevin and Graig. Then she comes out to reveal her noms: Kevin and Bobby. She tells them it's nothing personal. She hopes they play for PoV because she has "bigger fish to fry". Then she says, "I never forget when someone writes my name down." Ouch. Johnny hangs his head in shame.

Poor Johnny, he's doomed...right, Graig? Wrong. Even Jordan could see through the charade and says he can't believe that Graig is so arrogant he can't see he's the real target. Johnny goes up to the HoH room looking all mopey. He closes the door behind him then immediately he and Brittnee do a victory dance. As it turns out, Johnny knew the moment Brittnee looked at him during the nominations, that he wasn't her target. It was Graig. Johnny puts his mopey face back on as he leaves the HoH. He's going to play this up.

The Power of Veto comp is called Spooling Around. Brittnee, Kevin, Bobby, Sarah, Johnny and Zach

Curious mix of Devo and Oompa Loompas.

must transfer "thread" (rope) from 3 large spools to oe larger spool by wrapping it around their bodies. Of course all this spinning leads to dizziness and vomiting. Kevin sees this as a good opportunity to practise his art of comp throwing. Sarah panics because she wound the thread too tight around her chest and constricted her breathing. Brittnee and Zach wound their thread too loosely and got tangled. Bobby said this comp should be a breeze because he is a rock climber and is used to ropes. I don't see how this would be an advantage winding the rope around your body unless he repels down a rock-face like a Yo-Yo. Johnny wins the comp - looking very haggard and maybe a bit dehydrated.

It's no secret that Johnny will save his Kevy Wevy with that PoV. Bobby is scared and makes a beeline right to Brittnee to ask if there is anyone else in her crosshairs. She doesn't respond. The next day, Graig brings up the fact that Johnny spent a lot of time in the HoH room with Brittnee and Sarah. He mentions it to Bruno - who is ALREADY distancing himself from Graig. The best line of the episode is Graig: "I tell him I'm going on the block. Bruno just thinks I'm paranoid like he does every day. But this time I know it's for real"

Graig confronts Brittnee who has had enough. She tells him how irritating he is, he hasn't left her alone once, and he thinks she can't think for herself. She tells him even Johnny has said the same thing to her. Graig takes this to mean that Johnny planted this in Brittnee's head. (did he not hear what she just told him??? Geesh.) Graig thinks Johnny has no one in the house, and it was Johnny's game move to ruin his game. So then comes the Graig/Johnny showdown. Lots of yelling back and forth.

But at this point there is nothing Graig can do. Of course, Johnny saves Kevy Wevy and Britnee names Graig as the replacement nominee. The master plan nears completion and Graig is getting backdoored by The Fembots.

There's just one problem. The Fembots' master plan isn't all that masterful. They are simply taking out the henchman, NOT THE REAL MASTER. Ooops.

Look out Ginga Ninja, the Fembots are gunning for you.

The 3 Laws of Fembotics:

1. A fembot may not injure a house guest or, through inaction, allow a house guest to come to harm.
2. A fembot must pretend to obey the orders given it by aggressive house guests, except where such orders would conflict with the First Law.
3. A fembot must protect its own existence in the house, and backdoor the aggressive house guest.

BBCan3 Recap Episode 4 - PoV Comp & Ceremony - The Great Bathroom Surprise!

The aftermath of the Nomination Ceremony...

Just had to pee. Interesting conversation though.

Naeha, Sindy, Willow and Sarah decide it's a good idea to meet up in the HoH room to discuss this week's voting strategy. Naeha wants Britnee to stay. Keep the nominations the same and vote out Kevin. Sindy jumps right in and starts to lead the conversation:

"Blah, blah, blah. Kevin, Bobby, strong male players. Blah, blah blah."

Right. You know what's worse than using the HoH room to strategize? Strategizing with people who aren't in your alliance. You know what's even worse? Not checking the HoH room to see if you are alone or not.

Surprise, surprise, surprise!

BBCan3 Recap Episode 2 (Week 1) Eviction The Game is Afoot or Maybe Abreast

FINALLY, we get to see some of the activity in the house besides the boring intros and the nasty nomination twist that Arisa dropped on the houseguests. You might say the game is now afoot. But what you should really be saying is - the game is now abreast...

Risha is still in the bathroom trying to compose herself. She has a plan. Flirt her way to safety. She also has a secret weapon. She leaves the bathroom. Here she finds her first victim...Kevin. She has game, but it's waaay too obvious. She's overworking it. Shameless hussy!

Oh look, it's Zankie. Ummn, Kevnny???

The living conditions are still like a combination of Gilligan's Island and Survivor. The only convenience is the bathroom and a massive supply of clean towels which they can use for blankets and pillows. Johnny is crushing on Kevin and manages to find his sleeping spot right next to him. Kevin either doesn't mind or is just willing to work it. It's kind of like a Zankie thing, but way less annoying. But I think Johnny is getting way more out of this relationship than Kevin.

The first morning in the house will not be a day of leisure. Arisa calls them all to order. Here's the deal. If they want their stuff back, they are going to have to work hard for it. In the backyard are 5 huge red balloons. Inside each is one number, and the five numbers form an access code for the vault. I am getting the feeling this vault will be the source for a lot of grief this year. The catch is the houseguests must hold the balloon off the ground for 5 hours.

As the task gets underway, Sindy Withaness decides she should jump into the game. I don't mean the

balloon game. No, I mean HER game. She rambles over to Pilar, who is busy holding up one of the balloons, and starts to comfort the poor girl who is up for eviction. Pilar falls for it, calling Sindy Withaness a nice girl. NO SHE'S NOT PILAR! Geesh. While this is going on, Kevin is called to the Diary Room. There on the table is 1,000 bucks and an offer to sabotage the game: break the balloon, and the money is his. Kevin is torn, but not for long. The idea of this being an entertaining stunt for Canada (and winning our hearts) outweighs the threat of being discovered. He trusts his ability to lie and bluff. He's going for it. He heads to the kitchen where, for some strange reason he finds a selection of random earrings on the counter. He takes a blue one and embeds it in a towel. Hey, the way I figure it, if he was outed, he could have always blamed the girls for leaving their stuff around and one got stuck in his towel. He can't fail.

Zordan, Master of the Universe

He waits for just the right moment. The deed is done, the balloon pops and he thinks he's gotten away with it. The task continues and the last balloon is finally popped by Johnny.

Johnny: I killed a balloon with a spear.

Oh, oh. Seems Sarah is highly suspicious and talks to Britnee about her belief in karma, stuff and things. And those things were mostly about balloons and a possible saboteur in the house. She has already noticed some mischief and pegs Kevin as the nasty scoundrel who popped the balloon. Meanwhile, Zach and Jordan are in the storage room where they make a fast Final Two alliance with each other. Seems they both scoped each other out when they entered the house and saw each other as fellow BB superfans.

Hot tub Badonk-a-donks. I hate floaters in Big Brother.

Elsewhere, Risha must have suddenly realized that Eviction Day is drawing near and decides to shift her campaigning into high gear. It's time to release her secret weapon. Actually weapons, you know...with an S. But where can she...oh wait! There's a hot tub in this house! And wouldn't you know it? Kevin, Bobby and some girl are out there. Risha unleashes The Bouncing Bettys much to the shock of Kevin and Bobby. Best line of the episode goes to Kevin, "I've seen enough over-inflated balloons today." Soon, Godfrey and some other girl show up. Risha must have thought she had this vote in the bag.

The houseguests must recombine the 5 digits (1,2,6,8 and 9) to open the vault. Johnny is delegated to

No measily access code can defeat the Mighty Zordan.

lead the attempt. He tries, again and again, only to be flashed with "Access Denied" on the screen. Just when he is at his wit's end, Kevin relieves his tension with a backrub. Johnny is immediately rejuvenated. Miss Sindy Withaness says they've been at it for 30 hours and she needs her bed. After all, beauty queens never sleep on floors. Sounds like this one could feel a pea at the bottom of 18 mattresses. Better get The Brick on that. Just when things start to get ridiculous, and everyone is down-hearted, Zach and Jordan (shall we call them Zordan???) give the code a try. Bingo,,,Access Granted. But Big Brother has one more trick to throw at them. There is a diagram showing where all the furniture goes and if they get it all moved into position correctly - in 45 minutes, they will get dinner. Don't worry, they beat the clock and get fed.

Time for the Eviction Vote and Arisa breaks the bad news to the houseguests. They will not be voting to evict. It was Canada's Vote all along. Risha looks like she could kill a puppy. All that hard work her girls did for a week, and for what? She knows this just isn't going to end well. Arisa tells Risha and Pilar to go to the vault. There they find two keys and must find their lock boxes, retrieve the envelope and return to the living room. For some reason, Pilar can't find hers, which it right beside Risha's and clearly labelled - even after Arisa tells her where to go. They return to their spaces and are told to open the envelopes.

Pilar is safe and Risha is evicted. Seems her over-inflated balloons couldn't keep her afloat, after all. Her only regret, she later tells Arisa, is she wore her high heels into the house. It made her look imposing. Got news for ya Risha, when you're short, a 6'1" woman in flats, (and with boobs like those) is kind of terrifying. Period. The heels had little to do with it.

Oh, but don't worry, fans of Risha - there is a way for Risha and her boobs to get back in the game. Risha will be put back into sequester where she will be joined by 4 other evictees. Arisa clearly said the first five evictees will face a difficult challenge to re-enter the house. Okay, whenever I hear the words "First Five" I get kind of nervous.

Bobby: I don't need no stinking rope.

The first HoH competition is called Wall to Wall. The task at hand is a test of endurance: they must stay up on a strip of plexiglass (so thin, you can't even call it a ledge) with the assistance of a rope that is height adjusted for each houseguest. This sounds like a job for Superman a rock-climber. And why do I get the feeling these guys are in for an added bonus like a blast of cold water? The catch is the first 8 out will compete in the Have-Not comp. Oh, this shit just got real.

The next episode is Sunday at 7 PM Eastern, covering the completion of the HoH comp and the first real nomination ceremony.
