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: Weekend Update - Week 6 Live Feeds

        Thursday April 3 to Sunday April 6

• Heather won HoH comp called "Blind Side" - (my opinion: very ironic since no one saw that coming). She is given her HoH room later that night (Thursday), which leads everyone to speculate that there might be an instant eviction - HoH rooms are usually opened the next day.
• Rachelle, Sabrina, and Allison (separately) talk to Heather as soon as everybody leaves from the standard room reveal.
• Rachelle apologizes to Heather for treating her meanly, suggests they be friends then asks her if she is safe. Heather tells her she is not the target, but could be a pawn.
• Heather tells Sabrina she is safe
• Allison tells Heather they started out as friends, but then she (Allison) got involved with Andrew. They have girl chat, agree to do their nails together and Heather tells Allison she is not her target and will try to keep her safe.
• The have nots (chosen by Heather) are Kenny, Sarah and Rachelle
• Rachelle eats Heathers candies
• BB tells the house guests they have 15 minutes to pack their bags. No reason is given.
• BB has punished the whole house for Rachelle's indiscretion. Slop and no hot water for 48 hours (will end Monday)
• Rachelle tries to apologize to Heather, calling it an accident and blaming her nerves and fear of being nominated. Heather will not have any of it. (my opinion: Rachelle came off as if she was blaming Heather for being nervous)
• Heather tells Rachelle that she will be nominated - for getting everyone punished. Heather later states that she only said this to Rachelle to punish her for ruining her HoH.
• Heather tells Kenny he is being nominated. He tries to talk her out of it.
• Heather tells Allison she is being nominated as a pawn. Allison is upset. Heather asks Allison if she wants to sleep in the HoH room and they can do their nails. Allison storms out.
• Allison told heather about the First 5, and that the alliance has been together since the beginning of the show. Heather passes the info onto Jon, Neda and Adel.
• Heather & her allies agree that if any of them win PoV, they will take Allison off and put up Sarah.
• Sarah is panicking. She wants the other side to think she wants to go up on the block. Arlie warns her that "the other side" is already considering it, and she better stop or her game will be in jeopardy.
• PoV players are chosen: Heather, Kenny, Allison, Rachelle, Sabrina and Arlie. 
• Kenny wins PoV
• The plan is to nominate Sarah as replacement...Sarah is the target.
• Heather tells Sarah that she is a possible replacement nominee, after Sarah tells Heather that she is just being herself, and not trying to be her friend. 
• Heather tells Sabrina and Rachelle she is not going to discuss a possible replacement nom until right before the Veto Ceremony. Heather asks them who they think she should nominate...their choices are Jon and Adel.
• Adel tells Heather that Arlie talked to Allison, and Allison is "on board" with them.
• Arlie tells Jon and Adel that he will not expose himself to the First 5 until the eviction when he votes for Sarah.  

(my opinion: at this time, the Arlie and Sarah situation is identical to the Andy and Helen events in BBUS 15, but it is still unclear as to Arlie's true intentions)

• Veto Ceremony is Sunday
• Sarah to Allison: if the worst happens and I go home, please promise me you will take care of Kenny. (she is alluding to his "secret", and how Kenny will need a confidant) Sabrina can't do for him what you can do.
• Outside lockdown late Sunday afternoon. When HGs return inside, they get food + reward. They look for the reward, but no one can see anything...except there are two daisy arrangements on the upstairs balcony. Neda checks the larger one. Camera zooms in several times to the smaller arrangement. Allison checks this one and finds a clue. She begins to follow trail. One clue reads "make a splash". She checks around pool once, looks elsewhere then goes back. She finds the next clue inside a hockey puck. 
• Her search goes on for several hours. Not sure how many clues there are in total but she knows it involves the secret room, Last clue was "read it like a book, 1 to 3"...just before airtime of Sunday night episode, the feeds to go Hush Hush EXACTLY when Allison opens the door.

***TO BE UPDATED***

Big Brother Canada 2: Week 4 Live Feeds Updates (Spoilers)

Friday March 21

• Sabrina is doing all of Rachelle's talking and work for her. They are constantly together - Sabrina is blatantly acting as if it's her HoH.
• Ika and Neda are very aware that Sabrina is controlling Rachelle
• Sabrina talked to Andrew, telling him that everyone hates him, and that Allison is on the block. (I think Andrew is starting to realize he has had enough of Sabrina)

Thursday March 20 (after the eviction, HoH comp)

• Rachelle won HoH comp. It appears she had to pick the Have Nots for the week: Heather, Adel, Arlie and Sabrina
• Ika cries in bathroom. She keeps saying she wasted her HoH.
• Sabrina throws Sarah under the bus again to Ika, Rachelle and Neda.
• Sabrina is the first in Rachelle's ear. She blatantly TELLS Rachelle to nominate Heather and Allison, and backdoor Ika. (Rachelle appears to totally agree)

UPDATE for The Amazing Race Canada Preview of Episode 1 "Where in the World is Ogopogo?"

Jon Montgomery was making the rounds today on CTV's Canada AM and The Marilyn Dennis Show. Lots of new info!

There is an "Ogopogo" roadblock. Teams ride jet skis on Lake Okanagan to what looks like some sort of floating barge. There, they must do some deep diving in waters with low visibility...to find some sort of Ogopogo statue-thing down there? Cool. Hope it's not this dude:

Nah. But it is a sunken statue that divers frequent. The clue gained from this Roadblock will send them to the Bellevue Trestle (which I reported earlier), where the team member who didn't do the Ogopogo Roadblock must climb out onto rigging, retrieve their next clue and make a "leap of faith" down to the bottom.

On Canada AM, Monty explained how there will lots of "drama" throughout the season. He said The U.S. TAR considers themselves lucky to have just one "dramatic" event develop per season. But during the Canadian filming, drama happened on each leg of the race. The U.S. show production consultants were on hand to aid Insight Productions, and at one point they had to call L.A. to ask what to do. Apparently whatever it was, it was "unprecedented". Interesting. Now, I hope this isn't just the usual hype. Nope, can't be. MONTY DOESN'T LIE.

Tomorrow morning on The Marilyn Dennis Show...the first eliminated team. I wouldn't doubt it if they also make an appearance on Canada AM, and perhaps later on eTalk.

SPOILER ALERT...SPOILER ALERT...SPOILER ALERT: DO NOT READ ANY FURTHER IF YOU DON'T WANT TO KNOW WHO THE FIRST ELIMINATED TEAM IS.

From all indications, and keep in mind that this is just my guess (and I am new at this spoiling stuff), it would look like we can expect to see Team Treena and Tennille (aka the Sargeant and Tennille), the twin sisters from Hamilton, to be the first team eliminated. Gee, we hardly knew ya!

Talk to you tomorrow with my recap. As well, I will post a preview of Episode 2 sometime during the week.
