Big Brother Canada, Week 1: Eps. 1 & 2

OK, I'm going to briefly cover the hi-lights of Big Brother Canada so far this season to catch everyone up. I should have known from the beginning of the show that I would get hooked. I didn't want to start blogging on the show in case it turned out to be really lame, and then feel like I had to continue watching it. But...I was hooked right away, and it's taken me some time to actually get to blogging about it, so now I'm playing catch-up.

Episode 1

Hi-lights

• The houseguests enter the house in groups of 5
• Once inside, they all sit in the living room and introduce themselves

Game Stats

• Suzette is named the first HOH because she answered the Big Brother telephone and received a special message from Big Brother
• Suzette was then forced to pick 2 houseguests to put on the block, after having just met everyone a couple hours prior
• Suzette nominates Emmett and Tom for eviction because they made no effort to hide that they are in a tight alliance to the end 

Episode 2

Hi-lights

• The Emmett/Tom alliance is going strong
• Kat tried to start a girls alliance, but no one was really on board
• Aneal tries to sabotage Gary by dumping his glitter everywhere so that the house would get mad at him and try to get him out
• Big Brother handcuffs the houseguests in pairs for the day-if they succeed they get a reward; the pairs are: Liza/Talla, Gary/Tom, Alec/Jillian, Kat/Aneal, AJ/Andrew, Danielle/Peter, Emmett/Topaz
• Alec and Topaz start a "Cuddlemance"

Game Stats

• Tom won the Power of Veto at the end of the last episode, and takes himself off the block
• Suzette replaces Tom with Kat, because she talks too much
• The house votes and by a vote of 11-1, Kat was evicted from the Big Brother house
• The houseguests competed in the HOH competition (it was to be continued on the next episode)
