Big Brother Canada 3 News

Post by Big Brother Canada.

"The ultimate game of survival will be played indoors"....where it's nice and warm, of course. And isn't that teaser looking a bit...Survivor-ish to you?

Yes...it won't be too much longer now. Robyn Kass recently announced on Twitter that all season 3 finalists have been contacted.

I suspect the premiere date will be announced during Global's 6th Annual New Year's Eve at Niagara Falls with special guests Jon Pardy and Neda Kalantar. The couple will be live tweeting during the show (@GoofyNewfieBBCA and @NedaBBCAN) and have promised to make a special announcement. Let's hope we don't have to sit through Nickelback first. I don't know how literally we should take the "coming in Spring 2015" teaser. Spring officially arrives March 20th, but the eligibility requirements stated that cast members must be 18 years of age by March 1. Consider also that the houseguests actually enter the house a whole week before the premiere date. 

And in case you've been living in a cave somewhere, the show as moved from Slice over to Global TV. Side Show with Arisa Cox, Gary Levy and Peter Brown will continue on Slice.

UPDATE: January 1,2015...Yeah that so-called Special Announcement for BBCda fans was completely ridiculous. We were told the show will premiere in March, which we all knew. Come on Global, get with it. You can't tell me you don't have your schedule already fixed. Give us the premiere date!!! And another thing....relaunch your website. It's 2015 and season 2 is already a distant memory...Sabrina who?

Big Brother Canada Recap of Episode 27 Finale Week HoH and Nominations

They continue on with the Before or After competition for the new Head of Household. Why they couldn't include this at the end of last Thursday's episode is beyond me - all they would have needed was 2 more minutes.

Ah, I see, they have to backtrack and tell us how before Adel's eviction, Neda had to tell him

that he was being evicted. This pisses the hell out of Jon, because they agreed they weren't going to tell Adel. Sneaky Neda did it on purpose because he didn't want to make a bitter jury member out of Adel. She told Jon it was a mistake. Right.

Finally we get back to the issue of the comp results. It all comes down to a tiebreaker. The question is: How many coloured squares were flying around in the Twistos Challenge Blown Away, without going over?

Neda said 800

Sabrina 999

Heather 300

That's right. Sabrina not only wins her very first comp, but guarantees a place in the final 3. Nobody can believe it. They can't stop complaining. Sabrina gets her HoH room. All she can say is "Oh my God!" Sabrina is on slop because that was her punishment for seeing her sister. So there are no treats or booze. Jon complains. More OMG, OMG, OMG. Neda complains and does a pretty good impersonation of Sabrina.

Neda tries to smooth things over with Jon because he knows she has not exactly been truthful and loyal to him. So, she complains and throws it back at him. Wonderful.

Ding dong, the doorbell rings. It's Gary Levy and he's there to get the 4 remaining HGs ready in formal attire for the 2014 BB Canada Awards. I think they got the clothes from Proms R Us. Sabrina is wearing a cream coloured dress that she thinks is gold, and doesn't exactly flatter her figure. Should have stuck with black. Heather is wearing a blue chiffon dress, probably from 1962. Blech. Neda is has some kind of silvery, billowy thing over her boobs and shoulders. Looks like a duvet. Jon actually looks the best in his tux, except for the blue bow tie. Good God.

Best Look goes to naked Arlie.

Best dance goes to Jon and Allison.

Best Dramatic Cry goes to Sabrina. She was actually nominated for all 3 spots.

Best BFF Moment goes to Kenny and Sarah.

Then they watch a montage of the season. Heather cries at everything. Sabrina yells "Oh my God" a lot more.

Sabrina tells Jon is going on the block. Sabrina says she is stuck between a rock and a hard place in picking Neda or Heather to go up next to him. Jon explains it doesn't matter,,,,what matters is who wins Veto. This kind of demeans Sabrina's reign as HoH. She just doesn't get it. The only thing the HoH gets you in the F4 is a guarantee that you get to F3. Who she nominates makes absolutely no difference because the person who wins Veto is the one who has all the power. So the Veto holder can send home whoever they want. There may as well not be a nomination ceremony at all.

They make Sabrina go through the motions anyway. She nominates Jon and Heather. The live feeds are down for the remainder of the season. However, the PoV comp was played yesterday. If you want to know who won and if Neda will go up as a replacement or not, go to my BB Canada 2 Standings post HERE

Wednesday's show should cover the PoV comp, Veto Ceremony and Eviction. The finale is on Thursday and should cover the 3 competitions to determine the final HoH, and this person will vote out the last evicted house guest (who doesn't even get to go to the Jury house for rest). Then of course the jury vote to determine the winner. Don't forget, the vote is for the winner, not to vote out. Just making sure. Don't want to see anybody get Topaz'd.

Big Brother Canada 2 Recap of Episode 25 Week 9 POV Comp and Ceremony

Heather is upset Jon put her on the block without telling her first. Jon told her she is the pawn but in reality she is his target.

Adel thinks Jon is going to take him to the F2, and together they will "Wake up Canada". Geez. Please, enough of that crap already. Canada is done with it.

Neda throws Jon under the bus and tells Heather she doesn't know why Jon didn't tell her. Neda reconsiders her plans about taking Heather to the end, based on how hard she played in the HoH comp. Neda goes to Jon to tell him he should have talked to Heather first. Heather decides to suck it up and talk to Jon about it first. Heather breaks out the dry tears. Jon gives her some mumble mumble excuse, which is not only a little hard to understand but also a little hard to take seriously while he's wearing that damn baby outfit.

Jon calls his diaper a chastity belt and neda is afraid that he's actually been using it as a diaper. Heather is moping at the hot tub about being on the block and misses her boyfriend Will.

POV competition is called Blown Away. They have to jump in the Twistos Twister (wind chamber) box and grab letters spelling "Grab the Power of Veto". There are also Twistos bags with money values inside.

Jon is safe this week so he says screw the veto and grabs money first. Then he goes for the letters.
Adel is next. He grabs all the letters he can without thought.
Neda goes for money first then grabs handfuls of letters.
Sabrina has a big choice because she may be going home this week. She wants the money and the veto. She goes for the money then the letters. Too hard so she grabs more money.
Heather is last. She really wants to take herself off the block so grabs as many letters as possible.

New Twist: only the person with the most amount of money in the fastest time gets the money. Neda got $3000, but Heather wins Veto.

So now the real battle begins...naming a replacement. Adel wants to convince Jon to put up Neda rather than him. Neda wants Sabrina to stay over Adel. She knows Adel is better for Jon's game, but it's Sabrina, not Adel who's better for hers.

Each house guest is called to the living room. Sabrina is first and offered 2 minutes with a loved one in exchange for a punishment. She meets her friend in the War Room, but they are separated by glass. Her punishment is slop. This should get interesting. Heather gets to see her boyfriend and gives up access to the HoH room, which wasn't hers this week anyway. What's up with that? Adel has to give up sleep for 36 hours to see his friend. Neda gives up all her personal belongings to see her sister. All of it, make up too. Jon sees his father and in return he is put in solitary confinement in his HoH room for 24 hours. I guess they let him take off his baby suit first. Their punishments will begin after the PoV ceremony.

The one thing I am thinking is, why didn't Jon, Heather, Adel or Sabrina question the existence of the War Room? Neda knew of it of course, she's been in there twice. Not one of them said, "What?" or "What's with this room?" They have to be thinking that there had to be a bigger purpose for it than just this visit with their family or friends...and only 10 minutes of screen time.

Adel tries to get in Jon's ear, trying to convince him of his value to Jon's game. He actually thinks Jon will put up Neda instead. Meanwhile Sabrina does the right thing and goes directly to Neda and Heather who will be doing the actual voting this week. Who said Sabrina has no game? Adel tries to talk to Jon's picture in the backyard, hoping to put some sort of spell on Jon I guess. Something tells me that isn't going to work.

No big surprise at the Veto Ceremony. Heather takes herself off the block and Jon puts up Adel. It's pretty clear that unless someone makes some big move, who is going home this week. Look for some heavy duty bickering between Adel and Sabrina in tomorrow's episode.

Big Brother Canada 2 Recap of Episode 23 Week 8 Eviction

After the POV Ceremony...

All Sabrina has is Rachelle. Rachelle says she really is trying to campaign, but there is nothing she can do...she's just not that creative, I guess. At least sabrina is trying to make deals. Rachelle would rather just go get a coffee.

Adel talks to the pictures in the backyard. I guess he did learn something from Arlie other than the bad advise on pissing off potential jury members. I am really starting to think that Arlie gave him bad advise on purpose.

Heather and Neda talk about F2. Neda knows that she can't bring Jon to the end. She would loose. Jon is starting to see a change in her behavior.

Update on the Jury House. Or shall we say, Arlie's Nudist Camp. Of course he's naked.

Arisa talks to the HGs gathered in the living room for the vote. Jon mentions that they have to keep up good relationships because you definitely don't want a pissed off evicted HG going to the jury house. They didn't show Adel's reaction to that. But I doubt it would sink in anyways.

Heather confesses to Neda and Jon about being isolated by the others at the beginning of the game. She also tells them they will be her friends for the rest of her life.

Jon gets his wish list from the Easter Egg win. Whiskey, beer, pizza, burgers and cigars. Of

course Neda can't have any so Jon is bummed out. They start drinking and have a hot tub party. A fight soon develops between Adel and Sabrina...he started it. This results in Sabrina wanting to do anything to get Adel out. She tries to strike a deal with Jon and Neda. They throw the next HoH to her, she gets rid of Adel, and after that she doesn't care if they vote her out or not.Jon was drunk when he made that deal, and he and Neda quickly backtracked on that one the next day.

Jury vote. But first a montage of the Gremlin story that we don't really want to see, and I have no comment on.

No surprise. Rachelle is evicted by a vote of 3 to 0. Buh bye. Off to jury. Arlie will have a whole week with Allison and Rachelle before the next one shows up. Better make sure some ground rule include NO PEEING IN THE HOT TUB. There's a pond nearby for that.

The comp for the next HoH is called On the Ropes. It's a Survivor-ish type comp. They have to untangle a rope which is attached to their waists, wound through a thicker rope grid. It's also over very cold water. Only Sabrina, Neda, Heather and Jon compete. The show ends before a new HoH is determined.

Big Brother Canada 2 Recap of Episode 22 Week 8 POV

We left off in the last episode with Adel's Nomination speech. Remember the one with all the pointing? Pointing at Sabrina, then Rachelle and then the front door...apparently nobody knew who Sabrina and Rachelle were or where the stairs and front door were.

Sabrina and Rachelle go to the pantry, get pissed off and make fun of Adel's speech. Adel thinks his strategy is genius. I think Arlie either advised him wrong on purpose or Adel took Arlie's suggestions the wrong way. Sabrina has a hissy fit. She wants to ____ ____ his____ ____. Well...what she wants is to be personally responsible for getting Adel evicted next week. She tells Rachelle that IF Adel was Canada's player, then he just exposed himself as the ____ of ____ he really is. I never thought I would say this, but Sabrina is actually right this time. Meanwhile Adel explains his strategy in the DR, then yells "wake up Canada". Geez I wish he'd stop this whole Canada's player crap.

There is a short montage of how Neda and Jon annoy each other. Jon's farting bugs Neda. Jon complains about how Neda eats or rather doesn't eat. She doesn't know how to cut meat and she eats little wee bites of food. You know who else wouldn't know how to do the simple things like that? Yep. An android. Androids have no knowledge of human customs. In fact, androids find everything humans do "sketchy". Have you ever noticed how often Neda says "sketchy"?

POV Comp is called STAMP-Pete, hosted by Peter Brown. If Peter can get his eyes off Rachelle for a moment, he will read the postcard of an evicted HG. They have to find 4 puzzle pieces that make up the post card from that person.

Round One: was a postcard from Ika. Jon is the last to put it together and is eliminated.
Round Two: was from Andrew. Adel throws it because he doesn't want to be a threat. (He just stands there. That doesn't prove he's not a threat. Just proves he threw it.)
Round Three: was from Kenny. Rachelle is eliminated.
Round Four: was from Paul. Sabrina is eliminated. Only Heather and Neda remain.

Round Five: was from Sarah. Heather throws it,  and Neda wins.

Neda, Jon and Heather rejoice. Jon picks up Neda in one arm and heather in the other and does a little twirl. Sabrina has another hissy fit. The Gremlins are devastated because one of them are headed to the Jury House to spend the next two weeks with Arlie and Allison. There are no more twists to save them.

Neda gets a letter in the Diary Room. It's a prize for winning the POV. She gets a two-on-one with Emmett and Jillian in the War Room. Neda is very excited. Wait, it's not what I thought. It's just a strategy session. No biggie, but The Milkman brought milk and cookies. Of course, Neda doesn't have any due to the fact that she has no need of human sustenance. She IS an android. Maybe a robot. Well one of those cybernetic electronic things. No human is that skinny. Eat ,Neda, EAT something. Geez. Anyway, here is what they talked about:

• Neda identified Jon as her closest ally.
• The more u win the more u have to win.
• Taking Heather to F2.
• Have Heather, Adel or Sabrina take Jon out.
• She played a good game to get this far, but will need a better one to win.
• Tell the person who will be evicted they will probably be leaving, because they appreciate and respect the truth. Make sure even your goodbye message is good. It's the last opinion they will have of you before going to the Jury House.
• To win, you have to adapt to each situation.

Now, do you see how ridiculous Adel's strategy is? Being mean to the people you think are headed to the Jury House. Adel is playing to win second place? Nonsense. Nobody plays for second. Ever. He is depending on the argument to the jury that it was his strategy to be mean. Nope. That isn't going to work.

An Easter bunny from 1952 arrives a few days late and leaves his baskets for the HGs. There is an Easter Egg Hunt. The HG with the most eggs wins a reward, the one with the least gets a punishment. Jon wins and gets to make a wish list of 5 consumable items. Neda loses and is put on slop. Which is fine by her because she doesn't need food. Besides, she says parents shouldn't lie to their kids about the Easter Bunny.

At the Veto Ceremony, Neda decides not to use the veto. Shocker. Rachelle says she is not ready to leave yet. Too bad she hasn't even tried to stay. Adel thinks he did such a good job as HoH in destroying the Gremlins. Too bad he couldn't see the bigger threat.

Big Brother Canada 2: Recap of Episode 21 Week 8 Instant Eviction

After Neda wins HoH, she is called to the DR. There she is led, blindfolded to the War Room and sequestered there. She is astonished at the room. And by astonished, I mean overly dramatic, with lots of Oh my God!s WHAT?s and What is happening?s There are TVs for her to watch the others, but no sound. The bobbleheads of the 7 remaining house guests are sitting on the table.Allison had been before she entered the house.

Nobody knows what happened to Neda - at first. But soon they understand that something "unexpected" is up. Rachelle, Sabrina and Allison quickly come to the realization they made a huge mistake sending Arlie home. No shit. You realize this now? Shoulda, coulda, woulda...things are always clearer in hindsight.

Arisa talks to Neda and tells her she has 5 minutes to nominate 2 people. She considers the gremlins, but in the end, she picks Sabrina and Allison. It's funny listening to people trying to justify their choices in this game. She previously said that Allison should trust their F4 alliance, then she turns around and says she has always thought that alliances mean nothing to her.

They make it seem like she was in the War Room for about an hour - in reality, she went in Thursday night and stayed until the feeds went down on Friday at about 2:30 P.M. In other words, she had lots of time to think about what was happening and why she was put in there. I doubt if Arisa had to tell her it was going to be an instant eviction. Her nominations certainly weren't as spontaneous as they made it out to be.

Arisa then tells the other HGs about the instant eviction. Neda is told not to mention the secret room and not to speak to anyone until the nomination speech. When she nominates Sabrina and Allison, she makes it clear that Allison is her target and Sabrina is the pawn. She explains that she found proof that Allison cannot be trusted. It was a lie to make everyone believe Allison was the best choice to evict. Everyone is warned not to speak otherwise they will find themselves on the block. The vote is 4 to 0 and Allison is evicted. No studio audience. No one to cheer or even boo her. Probably for the best. She is off to the jury house with Arlie. I just hope he has his clothes on when she walks in on him.

The HoH comp is called The Eyes Have It. There are 5 clues for picking houseguests' pictures which must be put on the board in order. When they think they have the board right, they drop a ball down the back of the board. If they are correct, the ball will run all the way down to the bottom. If a picture is wrong, it will block the ball from dropping. Adel skips the clues and tries to place the pictures in the proper order. It's a hit or miss technique, but it exposes the flaw in the game. He wins Head of Household. Go figure.

Adel wastes no time whatsoever in letting the Gremlins know they will be going up on the block. Sabrina immediately goes into another meltdown. Oh joy. Adel shows off his first HoH room and the Gremlins eventually show up acting like they were on their way to the gallows. They say as soon as he reads that stupid letter, we leave. Adel reads his letter from his sister who advises him to always show respect to other people. The gremlins leave. Then another Sabrina meltdown. "I feel so stupid." Wah. "This person (Adel) has been so awful to me."

All the house guests are treated to a Passover meal and Rachelle gives her best attempt at explaining the feast. "We all get together and explain what Passover is." Okay, thanks Rachelle for clearing that up for us.

Adel gets together with what he thinks is his alliance - Jon, Neda and Heather. I say that

because he is the fourth member of that alliance. He wants Sabrina out, but Neda has other plans. She quickly chimes in that Adel is basing his nominations on emotion. Had to laugh because her nominating Allison was a purely emotional play on her part. Jon and Neda convince Adel to target Rachelle because she is supposedly a more physical threat. Rachelle won one physical challenge that was kind of questionable and we keep hearing that she is a huge endurance threat. If that was true, then why didn't Neda get rid of her in the instant eviction when she had the chance?

I have to say that I have not been a fan of Adel's, BUT what happens next was the best and most gratifying nomination ceremony of the season. Of course he nominated Sabrina and Rachelle:

Adel, "I have nominated you Sabrina (pointing at her) for eviction because you have been a thorn in my side since day 3 and bashed my religion" Then, "I have nominated you Rachelle (pointing at Rachelle) because you are a mere shadow of Sabrina and I don't even know what you are doing in this game. I cannot wait til you take the walk of shame (pointing up the stairs and holding it for dramatic effect for a very extended period of time). It was priceless.

The last scene of the night is Sabrina absolutely flipping out in the Diary Room. Could this be the week we finally get rid of one of these Gremlins? Or does Adel have bigger plans? He says later that he knows Sabrina didn't bash his religion, but the speech was necessary for his plan. Hmmm. I wonder if he is going to follow Arlie's advice. After all the two of them talked strategy the entire night before Arlie's eviction.

Big Brother Canada 2 Weekend Update for Week 8: Neda is in the War Room!

Thursday night's episode of Side Show gave us a peak of Neda getting called into the DR after her HoH win, and then being led into the War Room blind-folded. We were also told there would be a

double eviction this week, the first of which being an instant eviction.

That Instant Eviction happened Friday afternoon. I think it's safe to assume that whoever was voted out is already in the Jury House with Arlie.

The live feeds went down Friday afternoon, and will not return until after Sunday night's show. Here's what happened in both the War Room and the rest of the house before they went to Hush Hush.

• On Thursday night, everyone speculates on where Neda is. They reveal that they heard a scream earlier, and suspect that she is still in the house somewhere, possibly in a secret room. Jon and Allison say she is in the walls. They also know that Kenny once tried out the wall that concealed the door to the War Room.
• Sabrina and Rachelle with Allison in tow, check out the wall, trying to listen.
• Neda can watch the others' on the TV screens, but cannot hear them. She can hear them through the door. (production removed the sound insulation and the fake wall inside the War Room that hid the door).
• Jon purposely and noticeably talks louder, hoping that Neda can hear.
• Jon is upset that Neda is "gone", and gets up several times during the first night
• On Friday morning, Neda watches Allison get ready for the day. She says Allison looks sketchy even when she's doing her hair. She asks if Allison is even human, then refers to her as a robot.
• In the kitchen, (I don't know if Neda could hear) Sabrina repeats her position on lying: that lying about strategy while inside the house is acceptable gameplay. Lying about personal traits, or making personal attacks about someone is not acceptable. 
• Neda listens at the door to the others who are gathered on the couches in the living room.  They talk about the Jon/Neda relationship. Neda asks herself why are they still talking about this? She then realizes it is always Sabrina and Rachelle who bring this topic up.
• Sabina and Rachelle continues on the alliance between Neda and Jon. They point out that if Neda brings Jon to the Final 2, she would not win, "because 1000% Jon would win over anyone else." Neda takes note of this and wonders why the Gremlins are saying this now and in front of all the others. (Neda knew that the Gremlins thought she could hear her, and that it was clear they were trying to send a message to her)
• Neda used the bobbleheads a bit. At one point, she placed the Heather and Sabrina bobbleheads off to the side, then put Allison in front of Sabrina. I am presuming that she thought Heather was a pawn to force the vote towards either Sabrina or Allison.

So who did Neda vote out? At first she considered backdooring someone, but I think she must have realized that when she is released, there would be an instant eviction.She has watched several seasons of Big Brother. Another thing to consider is that the vote is out of 4, and if there is a tie, she is the tiebreaker. That is not the best thing to happen when the evictee is a member of the jury.

She has several targets: 

Allison. Neda hates Allison and finds her sketchy. She may even suspect that Allison spent time in the War Room before entering the house. However, she also knows that Allison can be easily swayed.

Adel. He is on Neda's hit list. Adel has a problem with keeping his mouth shut. Neda has even convinced Heather that Adel needs to go. The HG's suspect Canada will have a vote in the Jury, and Adel won the Buzzworthy challenge - which tells Neda he is popular. In addition, Adel was the benefactor of an all-nighter with Arlie, who gave Adel all kinds of game strategy.

The Gremlins. Pairs, whether a showmance or just a tight friendship are a big threat in this game. While in the War Room, Neda has taken note of the things these two have said. She may decide that if she takes out Sabrina, Rachelle would be next to helpless. She could actually work with her - get Rachelle to do her dirty work for her. Here's one more thing to consider: being the person responsible for removing Sabrina from the game once and for all will garner a lot of jury votes. But who knows. Maybe Arlie won't be happy having to spend 3 more weeks with this woman in the jury house.

So it just depends if Neda will base her decision on logic or if she reacts to emotion.

Big Brother Canada 2 Recap of Episode 20 Week 7 Eviction Plus Where Did Neda Go?

So Allison had just pulled that Red Veto out of her butt, turning the entire house upside down. This, just after Arlie's realization that he was getting backdoored. She removed Sabrina from the block, forcing Jon to name Adel as the replacement nominee. Sabrina was stunned, but still not speechless. She asked Allison if it was for Andrew. Let me point out that Sabrina has been riding Allison's ass ever since Andrew was evicted - reminding Allison that Andrew was watching from home and he was judging her. Such a charming woman. Allison quickly corrected Sabrina by explaining she did it for "game."

Everyone wants to know how Allison got this PoV, especially Neda. Allison convinces Neda that she is still on her side, but neda vows to get rid of Allison at the first opportunity she gets.

Arlie intends to maintain his composure. Jon knows that everything that Arlie says for the next few days will be strategy. Adel feels secure thgat he is not going anywhere. The gremlins rejoice...they have dodged a bullet again.

Arlie makes a case with the Gremlins and then Allison, that it would be wise to vote out Adel. In reality, he was correct. The four of them would have the majority in the house. (from the live feeds: for two days, it really looked like Arlie was going to stay). Meanwhile Jon and Neda see the danger if the Gremlins and Allison align with Arlie.

There was a montage of funny moments, including Arlie getting his ass kissed and Rachelle peeing in the hot tub. I was surprised they showed that second one. Shame, shame Rachelle. I mean what were you thinking? The worse part of that was that When Sabrina and Rachelle were done in the hot tub, poor unsuspecting Adel got in it. It's nice to see that they outed the dirty girl.

The Have Nots were given a task - they have one hour to create a restaurant quality dish that will elevate slop. The others are the judge and get a meal cooked by two of the contestants from Top Chef Canada. Neda and Heather win.

Adel talks to Allison about targeting Jon. Neda and Jon talk to Allison (it was a conversation that lasted close to 3 hours) and in the end, they form a four way alliance - Neda, Jon, Allison and Heather. This was after Allison and the Gremlins promised Arlie they would vote to evict Adel. To add more confusion, in the live feeds, Jon and Neda formed a final 5 alliance with Heather, Allison and the Gremlins.

The "live" pre-taped eviction begins. Arlie and Adel give their pleas, but in the end it was Arlie that was evicted by a vote of 5 to 0. When Arlie talks to Arisa, he says that Jon really screwed his game up. He tried honesty to explain his playing both sides and then flipping. Everyone's good-bye messages were heartwarming...except Neda's of course. She explains that Arlie helped her get rid of the big players in the house but now she just doesn't have any more use for him. She comes off as a bitch. Nice edit. Arlie becomes the first member of the Jury.

The comp for the next Head of Household is based on a trunk full of fake documents and heritage artifacts that explain their characters. They have to answer True or False. It comes down to Allison and Neda.The tiebreaker is how many acorns were in the backyard during Nuts to That. Neda is closest without going over. and is the next HoH.

The next Twistos Twist is that Canada will be seventh jury vote. No biggie there if you do the math. There are seven members in the jury, plus the two finalists means 8 HGs. Arlie is the first jury member and there are only 7 HGs left. So this news comes as no surprise. What is news is that next week is another double eviction.

One more surprise. The live feeds returned at the same time as the Side Show revealed that Neda was in the War Room! Not sure how she got there. Was it part of an HoH reward or maybe a Pandora's Box...and is she the one who will also get the special strategy session with Jillian and Emmett? Don't know yet. This could be good for her game OR it can also really screw up her game. Big time.

Big Brother Canada 2: Red Veto...Played.

*** Spoilers from the Live Feeds ***

First a bit of background. Late Sunday night, BB gave the house guests some booze, which always guarantees some action one way or another. This time, Allison got plastered and passed out. But not before she went on a drunken rant that this game was not for her, that she knew she was getting backdoored, blah, blah, blah. This gets Neda and Heather thinking....perhaps we weren't thinking correctly on this and we should be getting rid of Arlie, who's been making final 2 deals with everybody in the house. Neda and heather try to wake Allison up to talk to her before the POV ceremony today. They keep telling her they have a plan. They also talk to Jon, and he's all on board with the new plan.

Here's what happened at the PoV Ceremony Monday:

Jon takes Rachelle off the block and nominates Arlie as the replacement. Allison stands up and pulls her Red Veto out from the back of her pants, and saves Sabrina. Jon had to think fast, and knowing that Adel had previously volunteered to go up as pawn, nominated Adel as the replacement.

Can't wait for the Da Da Duh moment on Wednesday's episode.

When the feeds returned, Neda, Jon, Heather and Allison were in the HoH room, talking it all out. Allison was very careful in explaining the history behind the Red Veto, and told them it was burning a hole in her ass. She had to use it, or risk carrying it around in her pants for the rest of the game. Jon, Neda and Heather were dumbfounded, and not looking very happy about it. Even though it saves Jon's ass in the Arlie nomination. They should also consider that the Gremlins will now think they are safe and how beneficial that would be. Adel comes in and tells Jon he completely understands. He also wants to know if the plans next week are to get rid of the Gremlins, and everyone tells him yes...almost in unison.

Meanwhile Arlie has isolated himself in the main bedroom, thinking silently to himself for a change. He later re-emerges and tells everyone he is still going to be social. He starts spilling all his game play to date, looking like he has resigned himself to going home. It's just the opposite...he has not stopped playing.

Here's the situation: it is Neda, Heather, Allison and the Gremlins who will be voting. It will take a vote of 3 to 2 to evict. Don't be too confident that Adel is just a pawn in this. He is just as much of a threat to everyone as Arlie is, maybe more so. Let me put it this way. If you were in the final two, who would you rather be there with - Arlie or Adel?

Big Brother Canada 2 Recap of Episode 17 - Week 6 Double Eviction Nailbiter

They start the show with everything we already know. Kenny won POV, took himself off the block and Heather nominated Sarah as replacement.

Arlie realizes he has to reveal himself, so he tells Sarah he flipped to the other side of the house. Blah, blah blah, Allison tells Sabrina she is with the Sloppy Seconds. Sabrina tries her dry cry crap but Allison completely shut her down. Neda sneaks downstairs in the middle of the night and throws out all the condiments for the Have Nots Rachelle, Sarah and Kenny. Just to make them extra cranky.

Out at the hot tub, everyone is happy and having fun. Kenny blurts out "Fuck it, I'm gay". Sabrina stops the rejoicing by saying something inappropriate...gays like to do yoga and that's why they are extra bendy. Kenny tells her how very wrong she is. She then says all her best friends are gay. Quite frankly, I don't think anyone is listening to her anymore.

Sarah tries to make a deal with Neda, but Neda tells her no.

First eviction.  Sarah is evicted by a vote of 3 to 4. Rachelle, Sabrina and Kenny voted for Allison, as expected.

Arisa tells them it's a double eviction. The HoH Comp is called We are Counting on This., based on the house guests' knowledge of the number of items in the house. They are pitted against one another in pairs. The person who buzzes in first and answers correctly knocks out the other, and then chooses the next pair to face off.

Rachelle bumps out Sabrina
Neda bumps out Jon
Kenny bumps out Rachelle
Arlie bumps out Adel
Neda bumps out Neda
Arlie bumps out Allison
Neda bumps out Arlie and wins.

Arlie was actually playing until he faced Neda, then threw it. Surprise, surprise. Yeah that was sarcasm.

Neda only has a few minutes to name her nominees. There was no Topaz moment like last year. She nominates the Gremlins, aka Sabrina and Rachelle. She is obviously counting on one of the Sloppy Seconds to win the POV Comp, because we know her target is Kenny. Adel runs to get his POV card before the players are picked, just in case he has to use it to replace Kenny. (if Kenny is picked to play in the POV Comp)

Three other players are picked to play the POV: Heather, Adel, and Arlie. At this point, the Gremlins are really, really hoping that the Sloppy Seconds are planning to backdoor Kenny, otherwise their number is up.

The POV Comp is called Dumpster Diving for Day Old Donuts. They have to dive for donuts with the names of the first five (not the alliance) evicted house guests, then put them in order of eviction. Hey, what do you know, Arlie actually wins something! So you might ask why he thought he had to win. Well he wanted Kenny gone, that's why he flipped in the first place. Plus he wanted to prove his loyalty to his new alliance (even if that loyalty is only temporary to him).He only has a few minutes to pick someone to take off the block. The Sloppy Seconds do the Adel Happy Dance in the bathroom. Arlie takes Rachelle off the block. Neda puts up Kenny.

No surprise here...Kenny is evicted. However, Rachelle voted to evict Sabrina. does she intend to lie to Sabrina and blame, oh I don't know, maybe Arlie? Was it a sympathy vote for Kenny? OR has Rachelle had enough of Sabrina and her constant BS? If the later is true, the house and the live-feeders are in for one hell of a treat next week with a complete Sabrina meltdown. Sabrina might even self-evict. What do you think?


The HOH Comp for week 7 is called This is How We Roll. They have to get 6 balls into an indent by gentle manoeuvering a platform back and forth. This comp won't be determined until later tonight for those watching the live feeds, or Sunday for those who just watch the aired episodes.

Big Brother Canada 2 - Week 2 Recap

HOH: Andrew
Nominees: Paul and Neda
POV:Kenny
Replacement Nominee: Kyle
Target: Kyle


Live Feeds Updated regularly:

- Live feeds are very irregular... they are 'Hush, Hush' (down) more than up.  However, we do know that Andrew won HOH and nominated Paul as target and Neda as pawn. (Andrew's plan has since changed)
- lots of fighting among the HGs...so much so that the 3 in the War Room believe these people are mean. The fighting became so bad that Big Brother purposely stopped the live feeds and has taken steps to repair the damage. Note: feeds were down for Saturday almost completely. Only the War Room feed was up, and even that feed was short-lived.
- Kyle, Adel and Paul appear to be the troublemakers, because they know they are the targets this week. Paul continues to isolate himself and has accused Andrew of being a racist and a womanizer. He refers to himself as the virus in the house. Meanwhile, Kyle accused Ika of "playing him", after noticing that things said to her in confidence have gotten back to Andrew and Kenny. (I am not sure if that was the start of all the infighting, or if something happened even before that. There have been references to a couple of events since the beginning of the live feeds on Wednesday night) Adel called Sabrina a cow. Kyle and Adel suspect one of them will be backdoored this week and continue to look for ways to "stir the pot". Andrew has said that Kyle has to go.
- The HGs were given a game to play involving 3 tasks and having to work together. (reminds me more of a trust-building group therapy activity)
- The Final 3 are being given turns in the Diary Room to make a plea to Canada for votes. This will probably air tonight (Sunday)
- Adel and Kyle talking. Adel keeps referring to the big disturbance on Saturday. He says he "saw something", then he threw his mic in disgust. He then says "Big Brother changed the house rules because of it". Every time he says this, he is warned by production and/or the live feeds cut to a commercial.
- Kenny won POV and takes Neda off the block. Andrew puts up Kyle, as expected.
- Jon is talking of making a big move and targeting Andrew if he gets HOH.This immediately gets back to Andrew and Kenny via Sabrina (was this a test by Jon?). Sabrina asks if Kenny is pleased she snitched.
- Paul, Adel and Kyle are making the most of their limited time in the house. Hot tub, pool and making a blanket fort. They continue to isolate themselves from the rest of the HGs ...neither Paul nor Kyle are doing anything to try to stay. They have called themselves "The Outsiders" or after spending a lot of time in the hot tub, "Lobsters" (my opinion: I think Paul is continuing to play Adel and Kyle knowing Kyle is the target, making sure he stays that way)
- Jon is injured: he dislocated his shoulder by the pool. He is currently receiving medical treatment.
- Jon is back in the house
- Sarah, Sabrina and Ika fight over a potato chip - Sarah made chips for the Have Nots, Ika ate one
- the First Five alliance discuss taking in Jon and Rachelle, to become the final 7 HGs. The plan would remain the same though: the First 5 are still the final 5, and out of those, Arlie would be the first to go, leaving Andrew, Kenny, Sarah and Sabrina as the final 4.

Recap of Episode 3 Sunday March 9

- Rachelle approaches Kenny about Heather saying Kenny said he doesn't trust Rachelle. Confusing? The only thing we learned here is that Heather is a big snitch. Apparently Kenny fed this to Heather as a test. She thinks she is in with a Kenny/Andrew alliance, when in fact she is sitting on the periphery looking in.

The HOH starts with everyone dressed in the latest farm fashions. The line of the night goes to Kyle when he sees the out-going HOH Paul walk in to host the comp..."Paul comes out dressed as a big cock". The comp is called Fresh From The Farm. For Round one, the HGs are supposedly "randomly paired" in teams of two. Right. One team mate must keep a very large metal bin suspended with a rope, while the other must collect potatoes with their team colour on it. That same person must throw them into an opposing team's basket. The team who keeps their basket up the longest wins. The first two teams eliminated will become the first Have (Half) Nots. Of course the girls are out first. Sarah, Neda, Rachelle and Heather are on slop for the week. It's down to Kenny and Jon vs Andrew and Arlie. Jon gives out. Andrew and Arlie move on to Round Two. They take a short break. Arlie goes in the pantry and pretends to be exhausted. He does not want HOH. In Round Two they must dig through the potatoes and find the golden potato...aka the baking potato in gold foil. Arlie again feigns exhaustion and purposely passes over the gold tater several times. Finally Andrew finds it and claims HOH, of course thinking he found it fair and square. Heather is elated because Andrew ins. One thing is for sure, Heather is dumber than the average blonde. I never knew that was possible.

Andrew shows off his HOH room, and everyone shows their happy face. This is immediately followed by the Have Nots being introduced to slop and potatoes, then their Half Not room. Wah. How will they survive?

The First Five alliance is revealed to us formally. They were the first group who went into the house and decided to ally with each other right off the bat: Andrew, Kenny, Arlie, Sabrina and Sarah. Meanwhile, Paul knows he will be Andrew's biggest target this week, so he tries something with Ika. He says Andrew is a racist, has been tormenting him and actually starts to cry. Ika recognizes bullshit when she sees it.

Time for Andrew to ponder his nominations. He's got a revenge hard on for Paul, but is also considering some of the girls. He is also listening to Kenny's suggestion of booting out Kyle -  the physical threat with rocks rolling around in his head. But in the end, Andrew nominates Paul and Neda. Andrew says he nominated Neda because she is a strong player. Then he exposes Paul for slandering him. In his Diary Room confession, Paul indeed admits to lying, saying Andrew is not a racist. This is the start of the disturbance that lasted all weekend. It got so bad that feeds were down for most of Saturday. On top of that, whenever any HG starts discussing it, they are given a warning and/or the feeds are cut. There is more...much more to come. It will be interesting to see how much makes it to air.

Recap of Episode 4 Wednesday March 12

The show starts with a review of the big snit after the nomination ceremony. In a nutshell, Paul first accused Andrew of being a racist in a convo with Sabrina. He then reinforced it by crying over it with Ika. Ika got back to Andrew about it. That's why Andrew called him out in the nomination ceremony. Paul states in the Diary Room he knows Andrew is not a racist. He just wants to be the Richard Hatch, the bad guy to get him to the final two.

Kyle and Adel think they are now screwed because of their association with Paul. But instead of cutting the guy loose, they only make things much worse. You can read my recap of what really went down HERE

Big Brother makes the HGs go through a series of team building exercises to calm the house down. Before the POV Comp gets under way, Kenny gets Andrew to agree on making Kyle the new target. The plan is now to win POV, take Neda off the block and make Kyle the replacement nominee.Eventually Adel and Kyle clue in to the plan.

The POV players are picked: Paul, Neda, Andrew, Kenny, Sarah and Jon are the players. Arlie is the host. Big Brother informs the players and the host that they will receive a gift...a special screening of the soon to be released movie, Divergent.

The comp is an obstacle course based on the movie they just saw. Jump off a 10 foot wall, crawl, climb up and over a rope wall, jump into freezing water, grab a puzzle piece, then zipline to the puzzle board. They must repeat the course until they get all the puzzle pieces. Paul knows he is screwed. He takes what seems forever to even jump off the first wall (and land on a big cushion). People are getting their second puzzle pieces before he even gets over the ropes.

The episode ends before a winner is determined. Gee, they have a lot to cover tomorrow night. POV winner, POV ceremony, Live Eviction and the Final HG enters the house. I guess they won't have any time to cover the big fight that happened on Saturday. Funny how that happens.

Recap of Episode 4 Thursday March 13

The POV comp continues....Kenny wins. No surprise there. Then there is the gratuitous analysis of whether or not to use the veto. Kenny saves Neda and Andrew nominates Kyle as the replacement. Of course Paul believes his plan to be the villain is working. He also says if he becomes HOH he will seek vengeance.

Kyle makes the most of his remaining time in the house by learning to pray with Adel. He does not do any campaigning or bargaining to save himself. He, Adel and Paul call themselves the Outsiders, and spend most of their time in the backyard or in the hot tub - completely separate from the others.

But the writing was on the wall, and Kyle is evicted by a vote of 9 to 1, with Adel the only dissenter.

New HOH competition,...it's a trivia contest. They must discern between fact or rumour.
Paul out first. Then Neda, Rachelle, Adel, Heather, Jon, then everyone except Ika. She wins. The comp was short and sweet...so I wonder if they suspected something was up - like a twist.

Meanwhile in the War Room...the secret 3 are given a "last supper". This happened yesterday. Arisa gets right to it. Allison won. She can make up any story she wants, but can never reveal the War Room, or that she has been watching them all week. She gets escorted in by the BB Secret Service. They held the HGs in the backyard and let Allison wander around. When they open the gate slowly, the HGs notice her and the reaction was hilarious. Especially from Arlie who gives a little wave to her. She plays dumb...they all run up to her and she says, "You guys are here already?" Kenny says, "We've been here for two weeks". Hopefully, she will be able to keep up the story.

So what are her chances? Pretty darn good. Even if Ika puts her up on the block, the First Five are unlikely to vote for her. Chances are Ika will follow whatever the main alliance wants - which is getting rid of Paul and Adel.
