Big Brother Canada 2 Week 5 Recap of Live Eviction Plus BB Side Show

We left off after the POV Ceremony. Sabrina starts working the house. Neda and Jon tell her what she wants to hear. Then she goes to Andrew and tells him they have to watch out for each other. Bunk. All this week she has claimed she never campaigned against Andrew. Bullshit.

Andrew gives in to the dark side and resigns himself to being evicted. What will it take to jump start his game? Hmmn.

Meanwhile Arlie is working both sides of the house and doing a great job at it. If anyone questions anything, then he just puts it down to having come from Sabrina and that he knows she lies a lot. It's an ideal situation.

BB rewards the HGs with a camp out. They get PJs, and will be sleeping in the backyard in sleeping bags. Kenny comes on strong with Rachelle and she is soaking it in. Poor twit. Jon approaches Andrew with a deal to keep him in the game and vote out Sabrina.

Kenny tells Sarah he is gay. Of course she asks why he didn't tell anyone and Kenny explains it was strategy because he can work the men and women. His only worry is if he tells the others, it will create a trust issue. He explains his coming out to Sarah at this time was just to get it off his chest. He is not ready to give up certain advantages yet...like keeping Rachelle, and perhaps Sabrina "interested". I think he should just leave it be. It's almost as if he passed the point of no return with that revelation, and he is right. People will see it as "if he can lie about that, then what else has he not been truthful about?"

Andrew talks to Arlie. (Not shown in the episode is that Arlie talks to Jon) Jon tells Sabrina that Andrew is not ready to go home yet, and has been campaigning against her. Sabrina starts to wind up for making a scene, involving lies and deceit. Note that this happened yesterday...and a lot more happened than what they let on. Let's just say the house looked like it was going to flip and vote out Sabrina...until she spun her dry-eyed, paranoid snot web of deceit. So charming.

The live vote. The vote was 7 to 2 to evict Andrew, with Kenny and Allison voting for Sabrina.He exits to some cheers and a lot of booing. But he wasn't mad. He asked why Canada nominated him. How can he be that dense?

For the last two days, BB has been showing "mugshots" of each of the house guests. This is what the next HoH Comp will be about. It's called "Blind Side". They are true or false. Kenny, Adel, Sabrina and Allison are evicted. The game will continue on the next episode, but I will let you know who wins in my House Guest Status Board.

Arisa tells us that next Thursday will be the Double Eviction. Hold on to your seats kids, it's going to be a bumpy ride.

From Side Show:

Keep in mind that Peter promised that he will put Andrew on the grill. He better keep his word.

Peter and Gary give their review of some of the HGs:
Rachelle...you're screwed
Arlie: he's getting too comfortable, and he may fail.
Jon: he's playing a good game...to get to the Jury House
Allison: where's that game? Keep your hands where we can see them.

Andrew is introduced. He says, yes he knows he was a douche, but explains that being in the house "does things to you". Okay. I buy it. Arisa then hits him with two shockers. First up she confirms that Allison was voted in and adds that she was in a "War Room" inside the house, watching the HGs for a whole week. Andrew is shown the goodbye messages from the others. Kenny tells Andrew he is gay. His reaction was as priceless as Ika's was last week.

All Peter had time to say was "Andrew, you bald headed bitch". Wow. I watched Side Show for this?

Big Brother Canada 2 Week 5: Eviction Day Will It Be Andrew or Sabrina?

Despite all our hopes that rising yesterday - that the house will flip and evict Sabrina, it looks like Andrew will be exiting the house tonight.

It was a tough choice. Vote out the nose-picking, back-stabbing, lying bitch Sabrina or the nose-picking, scumbag douche-nozzle Andrew? Hmm. Uh. Ah.

Well, Sabrina's game is done anyway. No one can trust a person who actually believes their own lies. Her closest allies are even holding her at arms length. Sarah had enough of her two weeks ago when Sabrina threw her under the bus during the Paul eviction vote. Sabrina's lap dog, Rachelle has even begun to question the things she has said. Maybe Rachelle isn't quite as naive as we all thought. As it sits now, Sabrina's only value is an ally that someone can easily win against in the finals - with bonus points for patience in putting up with her that long. The problem with Sabrina staying is the possibility that she will make the jury. Another bad scenario - she would poison the minds of each and every other jury member. Not good.

As it sits now, the house is set on voting out Andrew. It's actually the best move. He is the bigger threat physically, and it is better to get rid of him now while they can. They may never get another chance.

I know, I know. How great would it have been to see Sabrina's face after everybody told her she was safe, and then they voted her out? Andrew's eviction will also be very entertaining. Peter Brown stated (on Rob Has a Podcast) that he and Gary are going to blast Andrew for his gameplay and let him know in no uncertain terms just how despised he is by the viewers. You better stay true to your words, Peter. 

Big Brother Canada 2 Episode 13: POV Comp & Ceremony - The Nose-Pickers Get a Thumbs Down from Canada

The nominations sent a clear message to Andrew and Sabrina that Canada thinks they are scum.

Message received.

Andrew thinks his country doesn't like him. Sabrina asks Andrew and Sarah, "Do I look like a bitch?"...Sarah reveals in the DR that yes, she does.

Game time. Big Brother appoints Sarah an officer for the Manners Police. She goes around ticketing people for all their indiscretions. When she is done, montages of Arlie running around naked, Andrew picking his nose and Jon grabbing his junk are shown. I was waiting for the part where Arlie tried to dye his balls by dunking them in a cup of cranberry juice, but unfortunately they didn't show it. These three are given Shame shirts:

Arlie's shirt says...I expose myself inappropriately
Andrew....I pick my nose
Jon...I touch myself in my bathing suit area
Arlie, Andrew and Jon have to apologize to Canada in the DR.

POV players are picked: Andrew, Sabrina, Jon, Heather, Neda and Adel. Arlie is the host. Jon is ecstatic because he knows the 4 people picked to play will keep the nominations the same if they win.

Now you would think that Andrew would have gotten the message that Canada thinks he is scum , but no. He harasses Heather for picking Adel and not Kenny like he asked. Big guy like that trying to muscle a small woman. He calls her a bitch when he doesn't get his way. Classy. He wonders why Canada doesn't like him.

POV Comp...BB Airlines. They have to find three lost items by answering word puzzles. Jon is first and puts in a good effort. Adel and Heather just can't handle the riddles. Same with Neda. Of course these three just didn't care because Jon got all the riddles. Sabrina tries but doesn't get it. She cries. Of course. Andrew is last. He gets the first two riddles but misses the third. Excellent. Jon wins the POV.

Allison is sad. She equates the possibility of Andrew leaving to impending doom.

Jon and Arlie talk., solidifying their alliance. Meanwhile, Andrew is heartbroken...wah, wah. He resigns himself to the fact that he will be evicted. Like a dog crawling off into a corner with his tail between his legs. I felt sorry for him. Ah, no.

Jon gets his camera time contemplating using his Veto. Then the ceremony. He decides not to use the POV, explaining that this was Canada's nomination, and he is going to respect that. The First 5 is devastated. Who WILL they choose to vote out. The back-stabbing bi-polar lying bitch nose-picker OR the scumbag semi misogynist douche-nozzle nose-picker. Tough choice, I know. But for sure I find it Sofa King awesome!!! 

Big Brother Canada 2 Andrew Gets a Deal and Allison Shakes on It.

Last night the house guests were treated to a backyard camp-out for the night. Beer and a BBQ for everyone.

The first development is that Jon approached Andrew with a plan. Currently, Andrew is resigned to the fact that he will be evicted on Thursday night. Basically the dog with the biggest bite has crawled off to a corner with his tail between his legs. He doesn't want to campaign against Sabrina, even though she has been doing a pretty damn good job campaigning against him. Jon told Andrew that if they can come up with enough votes to sway the house, then Jon will vote to evict Sabrina. Of course Andrew is suspicious of Jon's motives. Here's the deal. Jon heard that Sabrina is going to target him next week. Combine that with everyone having had enough with the Wicked Witch of the North, and Sabrina might just find herself heading back to Pirate Whore island. Good for Jon. I also think he realizes that Canada's vote was basically a popularity vote and that Sabrina, not Andrew had to be #1 on Canada's wish list.

All the sleeping bags were arranged in a circle. When Andrew and Allison thought that everyone was asleep, Andrew was the recipient of a little hand action. The problem is, not everyone was asleep. When the deed was done, Andrew looked up to see Jon giving him the thumbs up.

The general convo on almost every forum or chatroom goes something like this:

...Allison gave Andrew a handy last night!!!
...What?
...Yep. It was disgusting! He's such a pig/she's such a whore.
... OMG! Not on camera!
...They were under the sleeping bag but u could soooo tell what was going on! I saw it myself.
...That's disgusting. I am glad I didn't vote her for final HG.
...ikr
...u got a link for that?

Here's my thoughts. First of all, this is not the first time that people have engaged in sex on the show and it sure isn't going to be the last. Remember Amanda and McCrae on BB15, or Jillian the school teacher with Emmett last year? Hook-ups have become the norm on the show. Every season, the showmances develop new ways to hide it from the camera and there is a stash of condoms supplied by production for a very good reason. These are two consenting adults, doing what people do. If you didn't see the video, have no intention of seeing it, then that's fine. Go ahead and condemn them if you want. What really gets me is the number of people that spew crap about it being disgusting, or how Allison and/or Andrew are animals....after they themselves watched it. Stop being such self-righteous twats.

And if you landed on this post looking for that video, then for Christ sakes just go on Youtube and put "Andrew Allison" in the search bar. Do I have to do all your work for you?

That's my opinion and I am sticking to it.

Big Brother Canada 2 Kenny Finally Tells Someone About His Secret

I was just starting to think that Kenny has passed the point of no return about disclosing the fact that he is gay to his fellow house guests. I imagine if something like that isn't said from the start, there really is no right time to say it. Any way you look at it, Kenny pretty much stuck himself in the corner with this. He said that for the last little bit, he has been obsessing about it and stressing himself out. He has had to do a lot of covering up, because people have started to notice he's been seeming distant. The tipping point for Kenny was Canada's vote to nominate two houseguests for eviction this week. Canada's choice, Andrew and Sabrina, was based purely on public perception. Canada simply does not like these two. They are rude, obnoxious and to put it bluntly, lack personal hygiene. Kenny has been concerned that Canada may also disapprove of his hiding his sexuality. He decided that the time was right to tell Sarah - his best friend in the house.

In case you are unaware, and before you start to condemn Kenny for his little secret, let me fill you in. Kenny went into the house determined that his sexuality was never going to be a factor in the game. He was going to use his - as Sarah puts it, "ability to woo women" as part of his strategy. That is one of those things that looks good on paper, but in the Big Brother world, may not turn out quite the way you expected.

Kenny blurts it out, "I'm gay." Sarah's reaction was, to say the least, typical. She was dumbfounded. There was the 3 second silent pause that seemed like 5 minutes. Then the questions and the tears started. Kenny reminded Sarah of all the stories he told of his girlfriends, and all she had to do was change "she" to "he". Sarah then expressed her relief. She has seen Kenny as a close friend, never physically attracted to him. She has felt bad because she didn't want the public misconstruing their relationship. She is, after all not only about 7 years older than Kenny, but married with children.

Kenny was relieved that someone in the house finally knew, and in my opinion, he picked the best person to tell. They discuss the possibility of telling the other house guests. Kenny and Sarah agree on the way to handle it in the house. The main sticking point is everyone thinking if Kenny has pulled the wool over their eyes with this information, has he also been lying about other things? The second problem is Sabrina. Of course it is. In the first couple of weeks, Sabrina considered both Andrew and Kenny her boys. Kenny even kissed her. Well it was more of a peck actually. Kenny knows that Sabrina can be....um...vindictive, to put it nicely. Then there is Rachelle who is now taking her turn with Kenny. She has been coming on pretty strong and Kenny has been doing nothing to discourage her.

They also agree that if and when Kenny tells the others, she will act just as surprised as everyone else. That will save his ass just as much as hers. Kenny would also prefer to wait until after a few more evictions. The coming days may prove to be a turning point when you combine this with the end of the First 5 alliance.

Gogglebox!!! It's coming to Canada.

UPDATE: (July 4 2014) Gogglebox Canada has been renamed 'The People's Couch' (Canada) and premieres July 13 2014 at 8:30 PM on Bravo.

"What pray tell is a Gogglebox?", you're asking? Some sort of new Google app? A new NSA spy software? A new gaming device? Nope, nope and nope. It's a British reality based TV show that films regular people like you or me in their homes watching a variety of TV shows, and capturing their reactions. Simply put, it's a show about people watching TV (everything on TV including series, movies, documentaries, news, sports and even commercials). I am going to give you some time to think about that for a while...but please play the Final Jeopardy music in your head while you think.

Finished?

Okay, so your first reaction is probably "who the bejesus would want to watch that?" Trust me, a lot of people would. Make no mistake, many people asked the same question when shows like Big Brother premiered. Gogglebox has become a big hit in the U.K., and has also been franchised in the States under the name The People's Couch. Get it? Like The People's Court? Okay. Here's a glimpse of what Gogglebox is all about in this British trailer.

One of my favorites is the "Steven Hawkin" (a deliberate misspell) episode. One of the regular cast members wonders if Steven Hawking is British, why he has an American accent and if he has it (the transcription device) on the wrong setting. Another finds it hard to pronounce the word "physicist" and says Hawking does astrology. I have included that video here as well.I think Gogglebox's appeal draws from a number of our own inner feelings, much the same way as various forms of social media do. There is something about the "share" factor...knowing that other people think or feel the same way about things as you do. Picture an episode of Canadians watching the Olympic Men's Hockey final, and I think you can see the possibilities here. For some people, there may even be an ego boost watching people make embarrassingly uninformed (I won't use the word dumb) comments, like me watching the Steven Hawkin clip. Just picture an episode revolving around Rob Ford on Jimmy Kimmel, The Amazing Race Canada or The Walking Dead. Perhaps you are interested in auditioning for the show? Producer Ron Carroll, the showrunner for hits such as Undercover Boss Canada, Be the Boss Canada, and Canada's Next Top Model, is at the helm of Gogglebox. You can submit an online application HERE. As the application says, You can be a reality star, and you don't have to leave your couch! The deadline for application is April 19. Applications are only being accepted from people inside the GTA. Your "group" must consist of 2 to 4 people, aged 14 and up, and you must submit a photo with your application. Keep in mind they want opinionated, entertaining people.

Big Brother Canada 2 Recap of Episode 12: Time to Purge the Scum

We had to wait 3 days for this? Then suffer through the entire episode just to see Sabrina and Andrew's faces? Good grief.

The aftermath of the announcement that Canada is the new HoH has everyone very nervous. As Sarah put it, "if Canada likes the First 5, we are safe. If they don't like us, then 2 of us will be on the block." Everyone who is not in that alliance is loving it. After the announcement, everyone breaks into little groups in the backyard. Gee, I wonder who is allied with whom? Within minutes, Jon and Neda have already guessed the noms will be Sabrina and Andrew. Excellent. Sabrina stresses in the Diary Room that she is the one doing all the work in the alliance. Of course she did. She's a one trick pony. That's all she's got.

The house guests must sing O Canada once every hour. Who wants to see our HoH room? These guys our drinking our beer...eating our poutine. Arlie and Sabrina talk, and Arlie is just going to tell her whatever she wants to hear. All the while Arlie just knows that Sabrina is at the top of the list.

Got to love Arlie. He's alone in the storage room and talking into the camera just as if he is really talking strategy with the HoH. Meanwhile the others are using the Diary Room to make their pleas, or are suddenly acting all nice nice with each other.

The Have Not comp is set up like a Prom. One team member must act out a dance, while their team mate has to guess. Jon and Adel end up on slop, because neither knew what the frack they were doing. Big Jon in the Half Not room looks like he just ate the cookie that made Alice grow. Or was it the drink in the bottle? Whatever, he looks ridiculous.

Meanwhile, everyone watching this episode is probably throwing their Timbits at their TVs, and yelling "Just get on with the bloody Nomination Ceremony!!!"

But first, more of the HG's thoughts on who the nominations might be, and reflecting on their own gameplay. There are some very paranoid people in that house.

The time is here. All the HGs walk down the stairs to the living room, contemplating the chances of being nominated - as if they are the bachelorettes, all dressed up and  off to see if they will get the final rose from The Bachelor. Hilarious. But first, a commercial break.

Arisa breaks the news by naming one or two HGs at a time, and telling them if they are safe or not. She names Sarah and Andrew and says "one of you has been nominated. Sarah...you are...safe". Andrew, "I knew it". Which makes you wonder if he's known just how despicable he's been. Huh. Got ya Andrew. The last two are Sabrina and Rachelle. Arisa once again tells them that one is safe, and one is nominated. Rachelle and Sabrina hold hands and Sabrina says to Rachelle, "Its okay, we are friends". Arisa, "Rachelle...you are safe". Rachelle's response wasn't a comforting line to Sabrina. Nope. It was "Thank God!" Ha ha ha. And then come the waterworks from Sabrina in the Diary Room.

Next up on Wednesday's episode is the POV competition. It has already been played. If you want a hint who won it, let me say the person with the POV is unlikely to use it. It will be a big move, and the Veto holder must be feeling like they are the biggest person in the house right now.

Big Brother Canada 2 Canada's Nominations: No Big Surprise.

It's pretty well safe to say that judging from the online community, both Sabrina and Andrew will be Canada's nominees for eviction. That was pretty much realized after the first hour or two after the voting was announced on Thursday's show. It's even safe to say that the diehard fans out there knew this instantaneously. The general consensus is that everyone wants the First Five alliance fractured before the season becomes too predictable. Any house guests outside of that alliance who have tried, like Paul or Ika have been voted out. When you combine that with the fact that both Andrew and Sabrina are the most hated (on a personal level) by the fans...then its ding ding ding...we have a winner, folks! There's just been too much nose-picking, crotch scratching and other vile habits.

The fans are chomping at the bit in anticipation. Not just to find out who the nominees are either. They want to watch the live feeds to watch these two turn on each other. For any newbs out there, the live feeds have been down since Saturday morning and will not return until after the show tonight. After Dark was also cancelled for last night. The official reason is that Big Brother wants to keep the reveal a big surprise. They fool no one. They want the ratings. The "Canada as HoH" is sponsored by Twistos and they want the most bang for their buck. So much for the whole idea that Big Brother is a social experiment. I really hope they post the live feeds for yesterday and today after the show.

The next step in getting one of these two evicted is the POV comp. Here's a great scenario for you. Let's go with Andrew and Sabrina on the block. If you go by several unofficial online polls, Kenny and Rachelle are placed  in a distant 3rd and 4th, respectfully. What if Kenny wins POV and takes Andrew off the block? Rachelle would go up as replacement. How will the house vote? Very interesting indeed. 

Big Brother Canada 2 HoH Canada Votes for Eviction Nominees...Plus Ika finds out about Kenny

Fans rejoice!

This week we get to nominate the two house guests for eviction. Thank God.

Go to http://bigbrothercanada.slice.ca/ to vote. You don't have to register to vote, but if you have been playing along and racking up points, your vote can be multiplied after leveling up.
My advice is to just straight out vote for the two you want to go up on the block. Don't even consider the back door strategy. Why? The house guests are running scared right now. They are thinking back on everything they have said and done and even wondering how the show has portrayed them. If anyone other than the ones up on the block win veto, there is no way in hell they will use it to save someone else.

(If the POV is used, I have no idea how that will be handled. The official site does not say. I suspect that they will just put up the person with the third highest number of votes)

Here is my other pearl of wisdom...don't be swayed by what you see them do or say today because they are all acting nice-nice right now. Things like looking directly into the camera. Sabrina went into detail that she was only mean to Ika and Adel (nope). Last night, whether true or not, she was sick after eating too much. She and Arlie were up late talking about her strategy and how Canada will love her. Afterwards, Arlie whispered into his mic something about he knows it will be Sabrina and Andrew on the block (because they are so despicable). Rachelle flashed her bra to the camera - saying "wake up Canada". Andrew is upping the showmance with Allison, making it seem legit even though he has said it's fake and will sell her out when the time is right. And get this - he let it be known that he knows one of the producers. Yep. They are all saying how they felt bad for Ika. Sarah thinks that Canada will respect the First Five alliance and what they have done. I don't know how they can be so wrong.

Voting ends tonight at 10 P.M. ET, but we won't find out until the Nomination Ceremony on Sunday night...just like the house guests. I can not wait to see the look on their faces. It's going to be excellent.

In other news...Ika was on Kiss 92.5 this morning and was told that Kenny is gay. Priceless. A must listen. Here's the link: http://www.kiss925.com/2014/03/28/roz-mocha-interview-big-brother-canadas-ika-on-kiss-92-5/

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?
