Big Brother Canada 4 Alliances

RE: "Unnamed Alliance" Dallas broke down the situation during his confession to Jared, Kelsey & Raul (overnight, March 5/6). There are two alliances. The first was called "5 AM in Toronto" between himself, Nick & Phil, Cassandra and Ramsey. The other one (unnamed) was between himself, Sharry, Loveita, Maddy and Ramsey.

5 Things I DON'T Want to See in Big Brother Canada 3

This just in...

The official cast reveal will be a 3 night event on ET Canada, beginning Monday March 16. Of course, I will be giving my first impressions and predictions of these people. That's half the fun.

So while we wait, here is a little ramble as the clock ticks down. Cos I am getting kinda antsy. For crap sakes, they haven't even updated the official site yet. It's just sitting there in some kind of Season 2 limbo. Ugh!

5 Things I Don't Want to See on Big Brother Canada 3:

#5
A Sabrina Clone.

Love her or hate her, there is no denying Sabrina made the show last year. She started and masterminded the First Five alliance, survived its demise, avoided elimination after elimination, and managed to talk her way to the final 2. Then there were the lies, the nose picking and the pube tweezing. The overuse of the word "literally" - pronounced "li-tra-lee". The ridiculous one-thousand percent crap...or whatever percentage-du-jour that came out of her mouth. The overly-dramatic meltdowns. Aaah, good times. Yes, we want good TV. We just want it fresh and new. So, I don't want to see any Sabrina look-alikes or wannabes. But then again...I think I might miss her. I may even say, "what would Sabrina do?" (#wwsd) when a house guest gets in a jam.

#4
Junk Scratching.

You know who you are <cough> Jon <cough>. Actually, there were several of them doing it. We know its there, you know its there. We just don't want to see it jiggling about. Not like that anyway. I would rather see Arlie running naked through the house than all the constant pulling, tugging, and flipping. You're on TV. You're not watching hockey and drinking beer with your buddies. Get your hands out of your pants, boys! Besides, I was sick of explaining in the chat room that it was a fungus and not an STD. That's all I have to say about that.

#3
A Showmance in the Final 3.

Emmett and Jillian. Jon and Neda. This show has a better track record on the romance front than The Bachelor Canada. But if this new batch of house guests haven't learned from experience and don't nip any showmance in the bud....I don't think they are worthy of being in that house. Sure, showmances are a major element of the show. And it was great watching Jillian turn on Emmett or Jon on Neda. I just don't want yet another winner emerging from a showmance.

#2
An Alliance Forming Too Soon.

Lets hope there is no First Five repeat. Everyone knows what a bad idea it was. The fans knew it.
Even the alliance members themselves knew it. It makes for boring TV and predictable eliminations. The only thing less exciting was watching everyone sleep in the dark on the live feeds. On the other hand...it was pretty cool watching it all come crashing down. Thank you, Canada and thank you, Arlie.




#1
Snow Around the Hot Tub.

Yes, this is Canada. We get snow. But the last two winters have been tougher than usual up here in the Great White North. By March, we are chomping at the bit for some above 0 (Celsius, that is) weather, and we don't want to see mounds of the white stuff on TV either. I am kind of thinking the snow issue is one of the reasons it is starting 3 weeks later this year. It's 3 more weeks of hot-tubbing.

Big Brother Canada 2 Eviction Day Spoilers for Week 3 ***UPDATED***

Flip. Flop. Flip. Flop.

What started out as a very simple plan by nominating Paul and Heather for eviction has turned into a giant mess for ALL the HGs. After all, Paul and Heather are the two lowest rungs on the ladder. No big moves. It looked to be the easy way out for Ika. But it has turned into the move that has fractured the First 5 alliance and exposed them to the others...all at the same time. Here is the situation as of this morning, as brief as I can make it:

• Ika has formed an alliance with Adel. Adel convinced Ika to change the target to Heather. Adel exaggerated his special Veto power he won from the Buzzworthy comp, making it seem like he can basically veto a veto.
• The supposed Girl Alliance want Heather out. The First 5 (Kenny Andrew, Arlie, Sarah and Sabrina) want Paul gone. Sarah and Sabrina are in both alliances (to them the girl alliance is just a cover) and they do not want to expose the First 5 to the girls, therefore they feel they must vote to evict Heather. Sarah and Sabrina keep changing their minds about Heather or Paul.
• Kenny gets nervous. He comes up with a plan with Sarah - he will blame his vote for Heather on Allison. He talks to Andrew about voting out Heather instead of Paul, but Andrew convinces him to stick with Paul as the target. Kenny tells Sarah the plan is cancelled, they are voting out Paul, but Sarah and Sabrina need to at least split their vote.
• Ika keeps asking Allison how she is going to vote. Allison keeps putting it off.
• Last night: Sabrina stayed up late with Ika (not sure if she slept there), presumably to deflect any suspicions Ika might have about Sabrina and Sarah. Arlie is sleeping on the HOH couch with them. It turns into Sabrina covering only HER ass, not Sarah's as well.
• This morning...the Ika and Sabrina convo gets back to Sarah. Sarah questions Sabrina's intentions. Sabrina claims (lies) that she didn't understand the plan...but Sarah sees through it.

Everyone is on edge this morning. The First 5 alliance is fractured and it appears that they each are seeking their own backup alliances.

As it stands this morning, it would appear that Paul will be evicted tonight. However this is a situation that can change in a heartbeat. I will update if a major shift develops.

Update 12:40 P.M. Allison told Ika she is voting to evict Paul. Kenny talks to Ika in the bathroom. Ika now ponders voting out Paul. Paul comes in, Kenny leaves, and Ika tells him she will be the tie breaker.

Update 1:13 P.M. all HGs except Paul and Adel are gathered in the living room. General conversations. (I always suspect that when this happens, they all just want to make sure that no one goes off in groups for last minute deal making/strategizing). BB announced earlier the "Live" eviction will be taped at approximately 4 P.M., so there is not much time left. BB then calls all the HGs to living room (for eviction rehearsal)

Apparently Paul is evicted by a vote of 6 to 4.

Big Brother Canada 2: Week 2 Alliances

Here is the status of alliances in the house for this week:

The First Five
Andrew, Kenny, Arlie, Sarah and Sabrina are still going strong. There are indications that Jon and Rachelle may join them as the final 7.

The Girls Alliance
Sarah, Sabrina, Neda, Rachelle, Ika + Heather as a periphary member. They have started to implode due to constant infighting.

The Newfies
Kenny and Jon...still strong

The Outsiders
Kyle, Adel and Paul. Hardly an alliance, more like a bond created out of need.

Sub-alliances:

1.      Sarah and Sabrina
2.      Andrew and Kenny
3.      Jon, Neda and Rachelle

Big Brother Canada 2 - Week 1 Recap Aired Shows and Live Feeds

HOH Paul
Have Nots Unknown
Nominees for Eviction Anick & Andrew 
Power of Veto Andrew - used
Replacement Nominee Ika
Evicted Live Eviction Thursday

Episode 1 Wednesday March 5 (Premiere)

This season's theme is "Can you keep a secret?"

The first notable change is the size of the studio audience...it's huge. Arisa gives her tour of the house. The Have Not room is themed Half Nots and is literally half of everything. Whoopy. The War Room has a strategy table with figurines of each house guest - meant to parallel an actual war room/bunker. You know, like something that Churchill used in WWII.

House guests are introduced in three groups:

Sarah, Sabrina, Kenny, Andrew and Arlie.
Ika, Anick, Jon and Kyle.
Paul, Rachelle,, Heather, Adel and Neda.

Everyone is super excited, especially Arlie the die-hard fan, who hoots and hollers. When Kyle gets in he immediately unbuttons his shirt, sits on the couch and says, "This is a nice pad, man." Of course, this is the steroid-induced village idiot who lives in his Mom's basement, so even a one bedroom bachelor apartment would look good to him. Arisa interrupts the HGs and tells them it's time for the first HOH comp, and to go put on their supplied red and white Canada swim suits. Bikinis for the girls, banana hammocks for the guys, and boxers for Paul. Thank You Big Brother for your sense of aesthetics, not to mention decency..

It's called "Ice Breakers". They must stand on blocks of ice. Much, much nastier than it looks.Even after a few minutes, the pain was shooting up their legs. The blocks had each of their names on it and I couldn't help but notice that the HGs were positioned very strategically. Kyle the meathead was placed between Heather and Neda - he was very happy about that. All of Canada would have known if it wasn't for the ice. A disgustingly massive amount of pizza and wings - compliments of Pizza Pizza, were placed out for the HGs who drop out. The next temptation were 3 coolers with surprises in them for the next 3 to drop out. Heather jumped at it - she won $1000. Ika opens hers, Hah! No prize...she must wear her bathing suit for 48 hours. Then Paul, who encouraged several others to drop out, strikes a bargain with the rest of the HGs still on the ice. If any of them win HOH, the others still on the ice won't be nominated. They think about it. Then he ups the ante. He gets HOH, in exchange for no backdooring any of them. They all agree - why? Because they know Paul will get the heat from it, become a target. The others are super pissed.

First Twistos Twist. The 15th House guest. There are 3 potential House guests who will be sequestered inside the house in a soundproof living area and completely separate from the others. Over the next week, Canada gets to vote for one of them to enter the house. So let me get this straight. The houseguests have been in there for a week already. By the time this 15th HG goes in next Wednesday, one of the first 15 will have been voted out, and two others will be nominated for eviction. I can't see this sitting well with the HGs. The 15th HG will be an immediate target.

LIVE FEEDS Summary:

- Jon and Rachelle are close, Jon is also close with Neda
- Rachelle is flirting heavily with Kenny
- possible nominees for eviction: Andrew and Anick.
- Sabrina is circulating herself throughout the house, making alliances.
- Anick is isolating herself and talking about practicing her pre- eviction speech/plea. 
- Ika, Sabrina, Sarah and Neda...possible alliance
- Kenny, Sabrina, Sarah, Andrew and Rachelle...possible alliance
- Kyle and Sabrina: Kyle may think he has an alliance with her
- Kyle, Andrew and Jon have agreed to protect each other
- Andrew wins POV, saves himself.
- replacement nominee appears to be Ika
- the live feeds have been down for the better part of today (Thursday). Looks like they are following the same filming schedule as last year...the so-called 'Live Eviction' is actually pre-recorded a few hours in advance.

Episode 2 Thursday, March 6

People are comparing Paul's reign as HOH to The Godfather. He nominates Andrew and Anick for eviction. He considers Andrew a loose cannon...after he had a bit too much to drink and became loud. Power of Veto Comp Paul, Sabrina, Andrew, Adel, Anick and Kyle compete. Everyone is in Super Hero suits. They must break through 3 barriers using tools, then break through glass. The first to do so wins POV.Anick is pretty much useless...the universe was definitely not on her side. There must have been one of those nasty negative tornadoes hanging around. Andrew whips through it and wins POV. At the POV Ceremony, Andrew takes himself off the block. Paul nominates Ika. Paul has made enemies all around.

Eviction: Anick by a vote of 11 to 0. See what did I tell you? That girl was a shoe in to bug the crap out of everyone in the house. Frankly, I think they knew it too when they cast her.

The 3 nominees for the 15th House Guest are introduced to the audience, supposedly unaware of what Big Brother has in store for them. The remaining House Guests inside the house have no idea about these 3, BUT these nominees can spy on the house!!! Da da da! Thats huge. Then the Big Brother "Secret Service", aka 3 actors in black suits and looking more like Men in Black, blindfold the nominees and escort them to their secret room. It's the War Room. Why were they blindfolded? Well, so that they couldn't see the crappy exterior of the house, which would totally destroy the illusion of it all.
