Feeds in Brief: March 17 to 24 (Week 4)

Aaah, that "first day of spring" feeling in the Big Brother Canada house.

Live feed recaps are spoilers if you only watch the aired episodes.

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.

Big Brother Canada 2 Recap of Episode 11 Week 4 Live Eviction

Is Canada about to become the next HoH? That's what Arisa promises at the beginning of the episode. What? Will Canada actually get a chance to send the Wicked Witch of the North back to her home on Whore Island?

After the Veto ceremony and Ika becomes the replacement nominee, she talks to Adel who she has become much closer to. Ika says she is done playing with the small fry in this game (Rachelle, Neda, Heather, Jon and even Sarah), and she's going to talk to Kenny and Andrew. Jon admits in the DR that he knows Sabrina is full of shit. He continues to play her game. Even Heather questions Sabrina's stories. Ika tries to bargain with Kenny offering to do his dirty work. He ponders it, but the chances don't seem hopeful.

Adel, Heather and Ika build a fort in the backyard. Just like Adel did with Paul and Kyle two weeks ago. Is this a thing now? Meanwhile Heather's 10,000 steps a day punishment is proving useful. Very useful. She overhears people talking...she knows things!!!

New challenge. They have to search through balls for clues. They then have to count the balls. Ika wins. But this may not be the best reward for someone in Ika's position. She is offered a choice of giving her and her fellow house guests letters from their loved ones OR $5,000 cash. Knowing her days are numbered, she is certainly not about to give these horrible people any kind of gift. She of course takes the money. She doesn't know she is being watched by the other house guests. In other words, she gets Topaz'd. (remember in season 1 when Topaz became HoH in the double eviction night, and she was thinking out loud, while being shown to her fellow house guests?). Well Ika spills the beans. If anyone didn't know about the First Five Alliance, they do now. She shreds their letters and has a great time doing it. Sarah is the only one that understands why Ika did what she did and she explains it to the others. She says she knows that what Ika said about her was 100% true. So...if Sarah knows that, shouldn't the other house guests also believe that what Ika said about people like Kenny, Andrew and Sabrina are also true. Andrew and Kenny call Ika every name in the book and then some. Shame, shame. Especially Andrew the douchebag.

Time for the eviction vote. No surprise Ika is evicted by a vote of 8 to 1.

HoH reveal time. Production has been playing sound effects for the last few days, mimicking set construction sounds. Excellent!!! Love it. Sabrina is screwed, glued and tattooed. Canada...don't eff it up!!! Just one question...can Canada record goodbye messages for her?

Big Brother Canada 2: Is Sabrina's Game Done?

Love her or hate her, Sabrina is certainly proving to be a controversial player on Big Brother Canada. Okay, maybe the "love" thing is a little bit much but believe it or not, there are some fans out there who see her strategy as good game play. Her game consists of lies, slander, over-reaction, uncontrollable outbursts, bullying, threats, intimidation, harassment, use of guilt, and the ever popular dry cry. Even Sarah, her closest ally is afraid of her. If anyone in the First Five Alliance question her, she uses guilt. How many times have we heard, "Everything I do, I do for us" or "I am doing all the work"? Everyone in the house is on edge because they know that whatever they say, it will get back to Sabrina.

The biggest question that most fans have however, is whether or not it's really game play or if she is actually suffering from some sort of psychological disorder. They think she's a living, breathing case straight out of their Psych 101 textbooks. Egomaniac? Check. Manic depressive? Check. Paranoid schizophrenic? Check. She has told so many lies to so many people, I honestly don't know how it is possible for any human being to keep them all straight. Maybe that's the deal. She's not human. Only an android brain is capable of storing and processing that much data. No wait. That can't be possible. Isn't there that law of robotics that says a robot cannot cause harm to humans?

To the best of my knowledge, her strategy started the first weekend after the premiere. That was when the whole Sabrina vs. Adel fight went down. Big Brother cut the live feeds for the better part of that Saturday because the hostility in the house became so bad. It is also painfully obvious that whenever the live feeds are put on Hush, Hush it is most than likely due to Sabrina. Take yesterday for example. It wasn't enough that Ika was Sabrina's target this week and is pretty much guaranteed a ticket out. No. First Sabrina talks Rachelle into telling Ika she will be evicted, knowing full well Ika won't go down without a fight. Sabrina has to harass Ika. She makes a scene in front of the other house guests, accusing Ika of ramming into her on the stairs (at best it was a brush, and Sabrina actually apologized to Ika). When that wasn't enough, she follows Ika and Adel out to the hot tub, sits in a chair and stares at Ika until she gets a rise out of her. Still not enough? Nope. Sabrina then claims Ika threatened her, runs to the Diary Room and pounds on the door. When they don't immediately let her in, she yells at Big Brother, "I used to be a model, and you deny me?". The producers go over the tape and tell Sabrina that Ika did not threaten her. She's still not satisfied. She gives Kenny, Arlie and Jon the story that they (Big Brother) are trying to portray her as a liar. Good God.  How much longer do we have to listen to this? Well, here are some points to consider:

To the producers, Sabrina is ratings gold. As long as she doesn't cause physical or emotional damage to herself or another house guest, or even pull an Aaryn Gries (BB15), she's probably good. She has got the fans and social media buzzing, and that's what they want. She causes drama and you have to wonder if the house would be beyond boring without her there.

Here's another bit of information. In her cast bio, Sabrina made a big point of saying that all she has ever wanted, her whole life, ever since she came out her mother's womb, was to be on TV. She also told Rachelle that she would refer her to her agent. What? Truth? Lies? What? Is she using Big Brother as an audition for Wicked?

Sabrina's days may be numbered. Members of her own alliance are very careful about what they say to her. They choose their words very carefully and are constantly stroking her ego. They are also wondering if she is lying to them as much as she is to the others. If you listen very carefully, they have already sent out trial balloons to each other that Sabrina has to go. The main reason they justify keeping her up to this point is she serves a purpose. She is their snitch. Their shit disturber. She weeds out and exposes the biggest threats to the alliance. She's the queen of manipulation. Look what she did this week to a very naive Rachelle. However, her usefulness in the game will soon come to an end, as fewer and fewer house  guests outside of the First Five remain. There will come a time when they just can't afford to keep her around, and they each have their own secondary alliances to fall back on. One thing is for sure. This upcoming week, with a double eviction looming over everyone's heads, things are going to get very interesting indeed. 



  

Big Brother Canada 2 Recap of Episode 10

We left off with Sabrina Rachelle nominating Heather and Allison. Poor vacuous Rachelle is really being used by the Wicked Witch of the North, Sabrina. Neither Heather nor Allison seem too concerned about being evicted.

Yep you saw that right, right after Andrew discloses in the DR that he would use the veto to save Allison but would drop her in a second if she got in the way of the First Five, they show the two smooching in bed. Andrew makes the First Five sign behind Allison's head. Total douchebag. Think I am wrong? Think he's a good guy? Then take a look at this lovely video starring Andrew. What a charmer. 

The players are picked for the POV comp: Rachelle, Heather, Allison, Sarah, Kenny and Jon. The host is the ever charming Sabrina.

This is where Ika's game starts to bottom out: she talks to the remains of what still thinks to be girls' alliance (there never really was one), wanting to put up a power player...Andrew or Kenny. Way wrong move. If she had of just let things be and lay low for a bit, instead of listening to Adel, she might have been able to save her game.

POV Comp is called Lacrosse Fire. Each player must shoot a ball to score. The person with the lowest score in each round is eliminated. BUT, the eliminated player must open a gym bag with a "prize". The prizes can be traded. Jon, the hockey player is eliminated first. His prize is the Veto. Next out is Rachelle who gets the pool party for one (a punishment). She trades with Jon. Allison is out and gets a mystery bag of money that she trades for the Veto. Heather is out next and must wear a costume - hotdog. Silly girl did not trade for the Veto...she took the money. Kenny loses to Sarah. He gets a slop pass but trades for the money. Sarah is in first place and must wear an 80's workout outfit. She trades for the slop pass. Which means Allison ends the POV...while coming in 4th. And Kenny's mystery bag of money? ...$18.35. What is this? Let's Make a Deal?

Ika points out that Sabrina is crying her way to the top. We see a Slobbering Sabrina montage. Lovely. If you haven't been on the show site, and haven't seen the Facebook comments, I should tell you that Sabrina's nickname is Slobrina. Mostly because she is a nose picking slob, but slobbering, as in crying, works just as well.

Jon is awakened every couple of hours with a blowhorn. Each time he must do 2 laps of the pool. Heather actually likes her brightly coloured retro workout outfit. Rachelle's hotdog costume? Big deal. She was pretty much a wiener before the costume.

MARSHA! She lives! She is carefully concealed behind the frame above the camera at the end of the Diary Room hallway. I knew those frames looked awkwardly placed. She is actually right where she was last year. She gives a mission to Arlie, who is literally jumping for joy. Marsha cautions him not to hurt himself. First of all, she wants him to shave his head - because he looks like roadkill. Then she wants him to insult each houseguest, then get a hug out of them. The best zingers were asking Allison if she's put on weight; telling Heather her voice gets under his skin; telling Rachelle she's been a bitch to him; and telling Jon he smells like shit (then ass). I wish they showed more of Jon's response because he and Arlie totally cracked up. The only one that got to me was Arlie telling Kenny he thinks he's better than everyone. It has clearly gotten to Kenny and he tears up. But in the end, Arlie succeeds with his Marsha mission. Arlie tries to jump up to give Marsha a kiss, then she warns him not to make Peter (Brown) jealous. The reward is a visit from Talla. I am still not sure if that can be considered a reward. Maybe the Chinese food she brought in. Even the Have Nots were allowed to eat...I guess Big Brother had to manufacture an excuse to feed Sabrina. Talla kept going on about how it was soooo good to be back in the Big Brother house. I don't think see even noticed it was a completely different house.

Ika tries to make friends with Sabrina. She asks the witch if Rachelle is planning on putting her up. Out comes Rachelle, and she tells Ika that she will be the replacement nominee. What you didn't see was Sabrina coaching Rachelle on what to say to Ika. You also didn't see Rachelle being told by Sabrina that she should tell Ika about it. Gee I wonder why? Could it be because Sabrina wanted Ika to go off and piss off the whole house? Oh no, Sabrina wouldn't do that, would she? [you should see what Sabrina did to Rachelle earlier tonight on the live feeds]. Sabrina walks away in tears. Adel, proving that he really is the Peoples' Champ, comforts Ika.

POV Ceremony. Of course Allison uses it on herself. Then Rachelle puts up Ika, using her carefully coached lines written by Sabrina.

Big Brother Canada 2 Recap of Week 4 Episode 9 HoH Comp

Of course they have to rehash the events that happened after Paul's eviction.  The girls are so pissed at Sarah because she betrayed them and voted for Paul. Blah, blah blah. Ika feels like she wasted her HoH and basically gave it to Andrew. She's right. Now she doesn't want to be part of the girl's alliance. She has basically just self evicted.

HoH comp. The bungee cords were rigged, I mean "individually calibrated" for each person's Weight. Rachelle wants to win to get Heather out once and for all. That's what she says now. Anyway, while the more sturdily built HGs are straining and dropping out left, right and centre, both Rachelle and Sarah appear to be having it pretty easy. Especially Rachelle. If you know what I mean. It's down to Rachelle and the person who betrayed the "girl's alliance", Sarah. How dramatic. Rachelle wins. Neda wants Rachelle to take out one of the guys....Andrew or Kenny. At this point, Rachelle agrees. Oh oh. Sounds like it's time for someone to deflect attention away from the First 5.

Numbers appear on the TV screens in the living room. What could that mean? They speculate that the numbers.....must mean....something. Wow.

Rachelle has to pick the Have Nots for the week: Adel, Sabrina, Heather, and Arlie. She tries to be fair and pick people who haven't been on slop yet. So she picks Heather, who of course was on slop in week 1. Sabrina volunteers then realizes she won't be able to sleep in the HoH room with Rachelle. Translation: less time to tell Rachelle who to nominate for eviction.

Allison and Jon are called to the diary room. They have to drink alcohol then act perfectly sober in front of the others. They get plastered. How the others didn't see this is beyond me. They win a booze and food party. (I will tell you the live feeds were hilarious. Well until Andrew got shit faced, chased Allison around, and puked his guts out. Rachelle tried busting into the Diary Room and Neda went up to a camera and said "stop watching us you creeps.)

Ika does her best to convince Rachelle to put up Andrew and Kenny. What she doesn't know is that Sabrina has already forced her hand with Rachelle...and convinced her to nominate Heather and Allison. Poor vacuous Rachelle, she thinks Sabrina is her BFF. "Sabrina is very smart and I trust her". Holy crap.

The numbers on the TV screens hit 2 million and start flashing. The HGs start cheering even though they don't have a frigging clue what it means. That actually happened Thursday night. Pretty sure BB knew exactly what they were doing by setting it at 2 million. It was an easy target because the fans have been accumulating points since the season premiere.

Sabrina is a horrible actor yet Rachelle is sucking it in. Sabrina is taking full control of Rachelle's HoH, and even doing Rachelle's dirty work for her. Sabrina breaks the news to Allison - about her being nominated as a pawn. Sabrina actually threatens Allison. "Be a smart girl". Or else...what? You might be sleeping with the fishes? She gives Allison a face that even her mother would punch. Allison must have used all her strength not to.Jesus, that was frigging scary.

Sabrina, I mean Rachelle nominates Heather and Allison. But neither are the target. Rachelle doesn't even know who the target is.
