BBCda3 Episode 14 Week 5 Eviction: "Sindy and Bobby in the Vault With a Button"

It's not very often I get emotionally involved, but this was one of those weeks.

First of all, JP makes the dumbest decision ever in offering himself up as a nominee. I want to reach into the TV and shake him repeatedly. Then there is Zach whom I have now come to loathe. He should have refused JP's offer outright. Then he should have done everything he could to orchestrate the house to vote the right way.

Of course this week's biggest pain in the side of the BB house was the return of Sindy Withaness. Her goal is to get rid of Zach, and anyone else who gets in the way. Unfortunately for JP, that means him. But she has to move quickly to get the house to see Zach is the biggest target. She gets to work on 2 fronts: Bruno & Bobby and Sarah & Brittnee. Her advantage is all the information she received from Naeha, Johnny and Graig in sequester. She aligns herself with Brittnee and Sarah. That was no problem. Neither is Bruno. He knows who his biggest threat is. The one holdout is Bobby who refuses to give up on the Chop Shop and his alliance with Zach.

Take the money and run, you dumbasses.

But first, Big Brother has an offer that MAY be hard to refuse. Two HGs must volunteer for a task without knowing what it is. Sindy and Bobby turn out to be the guinea pigs. They are told to go to the Vault. Oh Oh. Nothing good ever happens in there. Inside, they find a 24 hour timer, and two buttons. That's it. No explanation. Nothing. So Sindy and Bobby decide to let the clock tick down. Twenty four hours later, and with only a few minutes left, the others are shown what's going on inside. Arisa offers Sindy and Bobby $10,000 to leave the house...and that money comes out of the $100,000 season 3 winner's pocket. Of course, neither Sindy nor Bobby take it. Bad, bad decision. Do they really think they have any chance of winning? Sindy's days are numbered, and Bobby's best hope of finishing this season is fifth place. Fourth if he's lucky. He's just too big of a physical threat to risk taking to F3. It ain't going to happen dude. You guys should have taken the money.

Bobby is still hung up on his unwavering devotion to Chop Shop and Zach. Bruno sits him down and

There is no Chop Shop, Bobby!!!

uses candies to map out the situation in the house. Chop Shop is an illusion. It's just a theory that died, way before Graig left. Zach is playing everyone in the house. Bobby is still in denial, out in left field in LaLaLand. It takes Brittnee to knock some sense in him by letting him know HE was Zach's target this week. Yep, Bobby... Zach, the guy you have pledged your life in the game to for the last 5 weeks was about to send you packing. And the only thing that saved you was Zach's huge ego and his belief that he and Jp were living on easy street.

Now remember all this time, Zach and Jordan are 100% sure that they have the vote and Godfrey will

JP when the vote is read.

be voted out, probably unanimously or at the worst, 7 to 2 with Bruno and Bobby voting to save Godfrey. In fact, Zach has been so sure of victory this week that he has spent the whole week trying to convince Ashleigh to play hide the weenie with him in his HoH bed. Worst HoH ever in Big Brother Canada history, even supplanting Ika Wong's HoH last year. The kicker being of course that he didn't take his closest ally, JP, off the block WITH THAT VETO HE WON. What an asshole. I mean, REALLY. What an asshole.

Jordan gets evicted 5 to 4.

Of course, the live-feeders saw this coming, and I completely dreaded watching JP get totally blind-sided. It was great for television, but I really did not want to see the kid go through that. Thank God, he took it incredibly well, recognizing the game play and strategizing that had to come into fruition for this move to be carried out. He knew he made a massive mistake and admitted to it on-air. At the very least, he met his pre-show goal to make the jury.

The week 6 HoH Comp is called BBC Film Festival. They are shown fan made films of this season's

Ummn, ahhh, ummn. I don't know, ahhh Sindy????

comps and tasks. If they buzz in with the correct answer, they can pick another HG to eliminate. If they guess incorrectly, they are eliminated. Each film is a slow reveal...with pixels gradually coming together for a complete picture. This one won't be hard to throw at all, right? Nah. Not at all. Well, until Bobby decides he wants to be the first out with the wrong answer and buzzes in as soon as the first film begins. He guesses "V for Veto". Of course, what happens? Yep. He is correct. He actually screwed up the screw up. He's totally flustered, and when asked to name an HG to eliminate, he blurts out Sindy. Thus screwing up the screwed up screw up.

Only Bobby could do this.

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.

Oh Look...It's a Brand New House...And Rumours Galore

Now arriving on Pier 1...The Nautilus, with your Captain Arisa Cox.

Here's the first look at the new design. Let's just say it beats the shit out of a wall of a thousand birdhouses. The teases started last night. I got anxious, so I made this:

Luckily, this morning they complied. I think I nailed it. It really does look like Dr. Evil's underground lair. You have to wonder what the houseguests thought when they saw this.

The entrance is incredible. It almost dares you. Shall we???

The front doors...from the inside.

Down we go. You can see the basic layout has not changed.

But WOWWEE, now that's a  reno!!! Those are some big gear chains.

Thank God they reno-ed the Kitchen.

The houseguests receive incoming transmissions from Arisa here. Very cool.

Central Meeting/Living Room.

Backyard...unchanged except for gargantuan geer mobiles.

The hot tub. Cleaned and disinfected.

If Marsha's in here, she must be trippin right now.

The Twilight Zone hallway to the DR....Marsha, are you there? Marsha? Maybe those gears and wheels...

HoH Room. Or Captain Nemo's quarters. Take your pick, but this is where all the action will go down (nudge, nudge)

The HoH bathroom.

Good to see they reupholstered those cushions...

Engine room. Steam room? No it's the main bathroom.

Hallway into the bathroom. Don't touch the pipes.

This makes me want to sing, "Under the Sea"

The main bedroom.

And finally, there is this thing. The Vault. Let the rumours commence.
