Big Brother Canada 2 Recap of Episode 19 Week 7 POV

So the Gremlins are on the block, and we all rejoice at the thought of seeing either one of the get booted out of the door. Sabrina is upset that Jon didn't take up her offer for the Gremlins being his gremlin bitches.

The players for the PoV are Jon, Sabrina, Rachelle, Neda, Arlie, and Allison. Adel pulls out his PoV comp card and takes Allison's place in the comp. Allison is pissed. It shows her she is at the bottom of the Sloppy Seconds alliance.

Neda wants Arlie gone next week because, well basically Arlie is too close to Jon. Jon's not on the same page until Neda convinces him that when you have a chance to get rid of a strong player, you take it.

Marsha has a three part mission for Adel. He must get one of the girls to go on a date, one person to cry and one to work out with him. He only has an hour, or the HGs will be punished. Meanwhile the others are called into the storage room and told about Adel's mission - and then told that they must make sure Adel FAILS. He tries to ask Sabrina on a date and is turned down. He asks Jon to work out, and Jon puts him off. He can't make Sabrina cry...for a change. Allison turns down a date. Marsha scolds him for failing and he gets genuinely pissed off at her, and takes a frame off the wall to threaten her with it. He meant it too....he definitely wasn't joking. Shame, shame Adel. You mustn't talk to Marsha like that. I thought you were calling yourself Canada's player! Marsha's reply was "Game on bitch!!!" Adel leaves and tells everyone they will get a punishment. Then Jon tells him that it was all a trick. The reward is a nice dinner while being handcuffed to each other. They must feed each other. Poor Adel gets Sabrina. I guess that was his punishment for talking to Marsha like that.


The PoV comp includes a trip reward from Ramada. They have to find 10 Ramada destination t-shirts, and toss them in a suitcase. Jon wins the PoV. He is leaning towards using it. Of course, they make it look like it was Sabrina's doing. It wasn't. At this point, Jon was planning on putting Allison up as a replacement.

Heather talks Jon out of it, with Neda's encouragement. The new plan is to backdoor Arlie. They think they are so smart, but only because they don't know about Allison and her Red Veto.

At the PoV Ceremony, Jon decides to take Rachelle off the block. Sabrina doesn't look very happy because she thought Jon would save her, not her bff Rachelle. He replaces her with Arlie. Arlie says "Big Move". Shocker number one. But wait for it...

Allison stands up and pulls the Red Veto out from the back of her pants. (Jon later says in the live feeds that she had a red veto up her ass!!!) She says "Actually, I found this." Then she takes Sabrina off the block. Jon puts Adel up. Before you get too mad at Jon, you have to remember that Adel previously volunteered to be put up as a pawn and Jon was very much on the spot. Or you can think of it as Karma for threatening Marsha with a picture frame. I mean, who does that, really?

Everyone is in a state of shock. Sabrina asks Allison if she did this because of Andrew. Yeah right Sabrina, that's why she did it. Allison corrects her promptly, and tells her she did it because of ... game. The fact is, she wanted to expose Jpn's game - to show his hand and see where she fit in the Sloppy Seconds hierarchy. Which is now a one-hit wonder. All done. Well played, Allison, well played.

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 Week 6 Double Eviction Day Spoilers

***The following should be considered spoilers if you only watch the aired episodes and not the live feeds. Just saying.***

Tonight's episode is the first double eviction of the season. Here's a breakdown:

The first eviction is pretty much straightforward. Sarah is going home tonight. Sarah tried to strike a deal with Neda to flip her vote in exchange for protection of both Neda and Jon. Neda declined, but went to Jon just to make sure. She wanted to know if Jon trusted Allison insofar that if Jon was on the block with Arlie, whom would Allison vote to evict. Jon said she would vote Arlie out.

The second eviction is a toss up. Suddenly, we have a real competition.

Jon and the Sloppy Seconds vs Kenny and The Gremlins

No, they aren't two really bad pop groups from the 70's. It's the two sides of the house. Kenny commands the Gremlins - Sabrina and Rachelle. The rest of the house...The Sloppy Seconds, are basically under the control of Jon, with Neda and Arlie as second in command.

Jon and The Sloppy Seconds
If Kenny and the Gremlins win, they will put up Jon and Arlie OR they could nominate Arlie and Adel then backdoor Jon. In either scenario, Jon is their target, but they would be happy to let any 3 of them go.

Kenny and The Gremlins
If The Sloppy Seconds win, Kenny and Sabrina will find themselves on the block...but Kenny is their target.

Will Arlie flip again? My guess is no. He will work the numbers game to take this opportunity to get rid of Kenny. He won't flip to evict Jon and risk the majority of the house coming after him next week. Will Arlie try to win this HoH or take another dive? That depends...I think he will play for real until Kenny and the Gremlins are knocked out of the competition, then let someone else in the alliance win. Of course, that's just my opinion based on his track record.

The one wild card in the whole situation is Allison and her Red POV. Remember, she only has 2 more opportunities to use it...for the 2nd POV Ceremony and Next week's. (last night's POV ceremony was her first chance). After yesterday's talk with Jon, she just may use it to save Jon if he is nominated by Kenny!

Okay, I lied. In many ways, I also see Kenny as a bit of a wild card. What? Well the only ties Kenny had to Sabrina were through Sarah. Kenny can't tolerate Sabrina, and has only been civil in an attempt to make Sarah's last couple of days in the house bearable. He also knows that Canada doesn't particularly care for the woman either. Combine that with his trying to clean up his game and coming out to the house just yesterday, and you just might see Kenny make a big move. With Sarah out of the picture, I can't see Kenny remaining with the Gremlins simply by default.

Of course, things might change as leaks come out from the taping, and I will update my House Guest Standings page as events unfold. You can find that HERE

Big Brother Canada Recap Week One

Wednesday February 27, 2013 (Premiere) And Thus It Begins

Well, that was a fast moving hour. The intro started with a CGI satellite beaming down an announcement that Big Brother himself has infiltrated the airwaves. Okay. Fine. Kinda cheesy. Then Arisa Cox walks into the live studio audience to tell us everything we need to know: 10 weeks...15 houseguests...13,000 sq ft house... blah, blah, blah. A quick tour shows us several rooms. The HOH room is luxurious, while the Have-Not room is decorated a la rat-trap Highway 11 motel room. There is an artificial outdoor "summer" environment. And, oh yes...it wouldn't be Big Brother Canada without a "winter" area with a hot-tub. And by winter, I mean real, artificial snow lining the edge of the hot-tub. Wow. Great decorating. Looks like they paid a 5th grader 5 bucks to do that. But the rest of the house looks great! 

Then its on to the introduction of the HGs, which is done in groups of five - montage style, showing them getting their acceptance letter and key, packing, giving bios and traveling to the BB house. So here we go:

Group One

Peter, he hates people. BB isn't a game...it's a sport.
Kat
Alec, the Social Psychologist, self described "Master of the Game"
Aneal, sees the HGs as pawns
Danielle

Group Two

Suzette, how long will it take for her to annoy 14 people?
Talla
Jillian
Andrew, impulsive, speaks his mind, has an identical twin brother (hmmm?)
AJ, the life of the party, can be a backstabber (what kind of parties does he go to?)

Group Three

Liza, brings 50 kinds of bronzer cos there won't be a tanning bed
Tom, Mr. Social but is easily annoyed
Gary, flamboyant is an understatement
Emmett, farmer, his gay brother told him to look out for gay guys
Topaz, her real name is Emerald, but she prefers Topaz. Huh?

What Arisa Cox doesn't tell us is that the HGs actually moved into the house on February 21...6 whole days before the airing of this episode. So, if you started watching Big Brother After Dark, or the live feeds, and thought they seemed awfully friendly for people who just met...well they have spent a whole week together already.

The HGs gather in the living room and immediately start to form opinions of each other. Gary, who isn't just gay, but outlandishly gay...not that there's anything wrong with that...already loves Emmett, the farmer from down east. Now that's a match made in heaven. By the way, one of Emmett's brothers is gay, and he warned Emmett to "watch out for any gay guys" in the house. Gee you got to wonder about the casting process. And Gary hates "the guy with the glasses" (Aneal) because he's from Richmond Hill, a suburb of Toronto. And that's not Toronto. Alec is attracted to Topaz. He tells everyone that he is majoring in Social Psych...bad move? Suzette tells everyone she is the mother of 3, and all those professions she has, and manages to annoy everyone. Some already want her gone. Okay, I admit it, I want her gone.

As this is going on, Arisa speaks that over-used line "expect the unexpected". Oh God, and thus it begins. There is a red phone. The person who answers it will be given a mission. Of course if that person fails in the mission, there is a punishment. That I want to see. I am kind of thinking the punishment would be an automatic eviction nomination. As the drinks begin to flow, the phone rings and the annoying Suzette answers. She is told to go to the Diary Room, and not to tell anyone. She says she doesn't know what it was...she couldn't hear anything. No one believes her of course. In fact, someone else picks up the phone to see if it's working. She meanders around, which looks preposterous considering her, well, size. Did I mention she's a full-figured woman? Hey, she said it herself, okay?! She finally gets to the DR, where Mr.BB himself tells her she is the first HOH and she has one hour to nominate two HGs for eviction. She can't tell anyone...or else. Please screw it up, Suzette!

Everyone knows somethings up. Arisa gathers everyone in the living room and tells them whats up. Suzette nominates "these two" sitting next to where she is standing. It's Tom and Emmett. I'm kind of thinking there was piss all thought put into it...she just decided to indiscriminately pick the two closest people to her...she didn't or couldn't say their names. Way to use those "great skills" you said you had, Suzette! Now, keep in mind this is the one who stated her profession as Support Worker/Radio Producer and Host/Motivational Speaker, whatever the hell that is. Geez.

But wait, Arisa announces that this wouldn't be Big Brother without a Power of Veto Competition, and they get right to it. Tom and Emmett decide to work towards saving each other. The HOH and 2 nominees each draw names: Suzette draws Peter; Tom draws Aneal; and Emmett draws Gary. Wait, is this thing rigged? All 6 put on these purple, full body leotard suits. They look like Rubber Man from American Horror Story. Only purple. They have a spiked belt which they have to use to break balloons - they can't use their hands. The balloons have puzzle pieces, and yeah, you guessed it, the first person to put their puzzle together wins POV. Okay, I know that BB Canada doesn't have the ultra big budget that BB US has, and they probably spent most of it on the house, but come on. This is really lame. Not every balloon has a piece in it, so these guys are really getting tired and drawing it out. It's a good thing this was pre-taped. Suzette's belt is riding up to under her boobs. She's looking like a big grape in that suit. Eventually, and I mean eventually, Tom wins and gets this overly massive lucite "V" necklace.


 
Week 1 Episode 1 Wed Feb 27, 2013

Thursday, February 28 2013 Live Eviction


Before the POV Ceremony:

Kat campaigns for a girl's alliance which doesn't go over too well. Everyone agrees that Suzette did not "earn" the HOH title - so not only do they find her annoying, but now they resent her. Gary apparently loves glitter (he brought a lot with him), and people have been finding it all over the place. It's almost as if some people set out to annoy others. Aneal is sure Tom will use the POV. He wants Gary Glitter out so he steals some of his glitter and starts to spread it around. Suzette considers possibilities for replacement nominees - supposedly, she says it's between Gary and Kat


POV Ceremony:

Tom uses the POV on himself. Suzette names Kat as the replacement nominee.

Before the Live Eviction:

The HGs are put into pairs and handcuffed for the day. The pairs are: Talla and Liza; Kat and Aneal; Jillian and Alec; AJ and Andrew; Peter and Danielle; Emmett and Topaz; and Tom and Gary. This leads to awkward situations such as Jillian trying not to look when Alec showers or AJ and Andrew taking turns going to the bathroom. I don't think they were just peeing. This isn't like a normal reward challenge - they all do well and get beer. Yeah, this is Canada. Looks like Alec has acted on his initial attraction to Topaz and a shomance has been developing which has not gone unnoticed. In fact, if you watched the live feeds at all, these two are really flaunting it. A few of the others discuss the dangers of this kind of alliance and agree to watch it carefully. Meanwhile, Aneal brings up the dangers of the Tom and Emmett alliance - then he goes to Suzette about it. It appears he is going to vote to evict Emmett.

Live Eviction Voting: 

Kat is evicted with an 11 to 1 vote (the lone vote for Emmett was from Liza. So it looks like Liza was the only one to agree with Kat on a girl's alliance. It also looks like Aneal was trying to pull a fast one on Suzette or maybe it was just a test. From the Diary Room confessions, most people thought Kat talked too much, she played the game too hard, too soon and talked strategy way too much. Looks like she forgot her strategy going into the game which was to lay low and just be a fly on the wall.

HOH Competition:

Everyone except Suzette dresses as lumberjacks (thank God we weren't subjected to a lumberjack Suzette) and must hold on to a step on a tree. The last one on wins HOH. We won't see that outcome until Sunday officially - but that part was taped and Jillian ends up winning HOH. She will nominate Aneal and Gary for eviction.

At the end of the show, Arisa introduces Dan Gheesling from BB10. His only contribution is a tip that the players need to just chill out and let the others cut each others head off. Duh. He also said that so far he likes the gameplay of Aneal and Peter.
