BBCAN 4: International Wildcards!


OK, so I just got SUPER excited for Season 4 of Big Brother Canada (BBCAN)!!! Voting is now taking place to vote 2 international Big Brother stars to enter the house with this season's houseguests!


Girls: I've only started following Big Brother UK (BBUK) the past 3 or 4 seasons, so I'm not very familiar with Nikki Grahame, but I have heard some of the housemates (as they're called in the UK) refer to her. I know absolutely nothing about Veronica because I have not watched any of Big Brother Italy. Based on that, I'll go with what little I know about Nikki and vote for her.

But as for the guys...I know them both well! Jase was on Season 5 and All-Stars Season 7. He is well-known for being a part of the 4 Horsemen alliance. He was also the very first victim of, what is now known as, the backdoor! And Tim. Where do you begin with Tim? I. Love. Tim. He competed on the first season of Big Brother Australia (BBAU) that I watched (back in 2013), and it has by far, been my favorite season of ANY Big Brother. A large part due to Tim. However, the rest of the cast on his season were superb. Love them all! But Tim...Tim is special. I gotta love an American player up for this wildcard, but I would do anything to watch Tim play Big Brother again! He's a legend, that's for sure.

There are 7 days left to vote, so do your part and make sure you vote for Tim. Sorry Jase. You cannot compete with the likes of Tim. Click here to vote! You don't have to be from Canada for your vote to count! You can also vote over and over!

I'm a little bummed because I was really wanting to watch Season 3 of BBCAN before Season 4 starts (I'm a little behind!). I'm so busy that there is no way that's going to happen now. I wasn't planning on blogging this season, but I might just have to now! This is so exciting!

The season premiere of BBCAN is Thursday, March 2 at 9:00 on Global. If you are outside of Canada, you won't be able to watch the videos on Global's website unless you use an app to mask your country of origin. However, I'm guessing all of the videos will be available on YouTube, as they have been in the past.

Big Brother Canada, Ep. 1.29 - The Finale

The Final 3: It's Emmett vs Jillian vs Gary, who will take the win?

The Twitter world blew up as the action unfolded live, so as I'm now watching the episode, I already know what happens, and it's CRAZY! Nothing on the US version of the show has ever been so crazy. I'm going to try to keep the rest of the recap short, because I have A LOT to say about how this finale unfolds. Here we go!

Final HOH Competition
The plan: Jillian will win the endurance challenge, Emmett will win the physical challenge, and then face-off in the 3rd round where it won't matter which one wins.

Round 1 Winner: Emmett
Round 2 Winner: Gary
Round 3 Winner: Gary

Wow, that last one was close. Emmett and Gary answered the same every time...except for the LAST one!!! It came down to a question about Suzette, so it's no surprise that Gary got it right, since they were very close.

Final Eviction Ceremony
Gary chooses to evict Emmett!!! That was obviously the right choice for his game. He would have never beat Emmett.

The Final Jury Member is Revealed
I should point out at this point, something that will come into play later. Emmett is revealed to the jury as the last person evicted. They are all shocked. Topaz seems to be the most shocked, but she is also ecstatic because "Gary is still in the house!" She screams this with excitement several times.

Talla tells Emmett he should have kept her, and Andrew says they should have stuck to their East Coast alliance, and none of this would have happened. He said "I feel bad for him, but not that bad."

The Jury Questions The Final 2
It's all fun and games until bitter Peter rears his ugly head. He says "My question is for Villian. I believe that you're an idiot and an awful player, however you have the opportunity to prove me wrong and win my vote by being honest. Tell me without using Emmett or competitions as a crutch, why you are in the final 2." That was so harsh. He needs to build a bridge and get over it.

Overall, Gary had some great answers to their questions. Even though Jillian didn't answer as well, she was really hit hard with some hatred, so it was harder to have good answers. Emmett had the lone tough question for Gary, and it was why he deserved to be there having 2 lives in the game when everyone else had 2, and how he deserved to win over Jillian when she won so many more competitions than he did.

The Final Plea
Jillian and Gary put together some awesome speeches, whoa! They squeezed a lot of stuff into a very short amount of time. I think Gary won in the speech department, it was compelling.

It is at this point, that Arisa tells the jury how they are to vote. Listen up kids, this is important...something big is about to happen. Everyone who has watched the US Big Brother knows: the final vote is FOR who you want to WIN and not who you want to evict. OK, not too hard, right?!

The Votes
AJ--"I believe that someone has made a $100,000...mistake! Integers!"
Alec--"Darkness. Now, I'm not happy the Shyld lost, but I absolutely love how you'll win." (throws up the Shyld sign)
Topaz--as Topaz makes her way to the podium and Alec makes his way back to his seat, they share a small little smooch. Arisa says "Really, really they get an 'awe'?" ha! Topaz: "So, my vote is 150% secure. 150%." (OK, so what does that even mean? I'd like to know how she thought that when she didn't even look at the key she pulled out and put in the box. She couldn't have seen it because she was smiling at the camera when she pushed it in. If you were 150% sure, one would think you would look at it once or twice to be sure.)
Peter--"I came here to prevent injustice. And with this vote that's exactly what I'm doing. To the max, yo! (throws up the Shyld sign)
Andrew--"There was a lot of blood in this game. It's been a great competition, but tonight, I'm voting with my heart.
Talla--"I'm voting for the person who played the opposite of my game." (good plan) "Do you love it now?" (points to bracelet)
Emmett--"You should only truly have one life in the Big Brother game." (nothing for your girl Jillian?)

The Votes Revealed

Big Brother Canada, Ep. 1.28

Final 2 Deals
Emmett has a final 2 deal with Jillian obviously, but he's also secured a deal with Gary and Talla. Emmett's lies started to catch up to him when he lets it slip to Jillian that he has a final 2 deal with Talla. Talla never said anything to her and Emmett didn't say anything to her. Jillian was pretty upset that Emmett didn't tell her that before. He lies and tries to say that he did tell her, but he knows and she knows that's not true. Now she's starting to worry about her life in the game because Emmett is obviously only playing for himself. She's not sure that she can trust his word at this point in the game.

Veto Competition
Solve equations with events from the season. Oh boy, this is NOT going to be a competition for Talla. This could get ugly. Jillian's feeling pretty good about this competition because math is her thing. Talla knows she's going to struggle because in middle school she thought that 3+4=5. Wow, Talla, I would not admit that out loud. Gary says he also is not great at math and wished that he would have paid more attention in school.

Wow, this really is hard. It comes down to dates and number of days etc. If you're just off by 1 day, you're screwed. Emmett is absolutely flying! The numbers are just jumping out at him. Until he adds instead of subtracts. Then Jillian does the same. They can't find a money bag for that answer, so Jillian goes back and now she's second guessing her first answer. Then Emmett finally sees it and then yells out "it's a minus sign". Poor Jillian, she says "am I the dumbest person in Canada at this very moment." And then she subtracts it wrong! Oh Jillian!

Emmett gets all 3 correct and he's the first one finished! His combination was correct and it opened the safe, so he wins the POV.

Emmett now has a decision to make. He knows he's keeping the nominations the same (there's really no other option). His decision is now who to evict, because he is the sole vote this week. Talla thinks she's safe, Gary thinks he's safe. Gary tells Emmett that Talla is sure she's safe, and Emmett decides that it's better for him to keep Gary and evict Talla because Gary would take him to the final 2, but he thinks Talla would take Jillian.

Damage Control
Emmett knows he will need Talla's vote in the jury house, so he's decided that he's going to talk to her and tell her what's going to happen. He tells her that he and Gary have had an alliance since night 1, and that alliance was way before making his promise to her. She's devastated and she feels betrayed. But, gotta give it to her, she took it better than I thought she would.

Emmett tells Jillian what he did, and Jillian got really upset because she wanted to do the same for Andrew, but Emmett wouldn't let her. She felt awful about having to backstab Andrew and not being able to talk to him before it happened.

Gary tried to convince Emmett that Jillian was talking to Talla to try to get Talla's vote for jury, and that if he wanted to win the game, he was going to have to make Talla feel better. So, his last move to secure Talla's vote was to give her a bracelet that Dan had left behind for him. It seemed to work, because she was very happy. At first she didn't want to accept it, but she did. Emmett really wanted to keep the bracelet because it meant a lot to him that Dan left it for him, but he knew he needed to do it for his game.

Eviction Ceremony
Sad final pleas from Talla and Gary, and then Emmett evicts Talla. She was very sad, but she hugged everyone and cried the whole way out of the house.

Big Brother Canada, Ep. 1.27

HOH Competition, continued
Recap: Gary-1 dunk and Jillian and Talla-2 dunks

3. all correct
4. all correct
5. Gary and Talla are dunked
6. Jillian and Gary are dunked
7. all correct
8. all correct
9. all correct

All tied up at 3 dunks each. And the winner is: Jillian!!! They had to guess the number of seconds the previous HOH comp lasted. Gary went over, guessing 1800. Jillian guessed 680 and Talla low-balled it at 480.

Jillian and Emmett just keep trading off the HOH. Wow.

The Importance of the POV
Jillian tries to explain how the POV works at this stage of the game. Talla "acts" oblivious, but in the DR said she completely understands...but I'm not so sure. I mean, it is Talla we're talking about.

Jillian and Emmett talk about who should go on the block because she wants to ensure his safety this week. They have a 50/50 chance of one of the 2 of them winning the POV. If neither of them wins, Emmett is in trouble. It doesn't matter who goes on the block, it's all about who wins POV. If Gary or Talla win Veto, Emmett goes on the block (if he's not already on the block). Since there are only 4 people left, there is only 1 person voting to evict this week, and that person is the only one not on the block. Since Jillian is HOH, she doesn't vote. So, if Emmett is on the block, that means it's either Gary or Talla voting, and chances are they will take him out. In order to ensure his safety, he has to win POV so that he is the sole vote.

HOH Room
No one wants to see Jillian's 4th HOH room. They could NOT be less interested about seeing all her stuff AGAIN.

BB Surprise
Big Brother surprises the houseguests with special clothes for a special Big Brother Canada Awards. Canada voted on their favorite moments in the house.

Emmett and Jillian looked so cute! Emmett was really cute in his tux. Gary went as Zoe (his female alter-ego). They walked the runway, and Zoe told what they were wearing. So much fun!

And the award goes to...

1. Best Entrance Into The House
Talla goes down the stairs backwards or Gary says to Danielle "look at those boobies!"
Winner: Talla!

2. Best costume:
Andrew as a French maid or Jillian as "Evil Dead" host
Winner: Andrew

3. Best Freak Out
Suzette freaks out Anneal or Talla freaks out in the maze challenge
Winner: Talla

4. Best Alter-Ego
Gary as Zoe or Alec as Ricardo
Winner: Gary

5. Best Kiss
Emmett and Jillian under the waterfall or Andrew and AJ during spin the bottle
Winner: Andrew and AJ

6. Best Dramatic Cry
Anneal's cry for sympathy or Gary goes on slop
Winner: Gary

After the ceremony, Big Brother showed them some fun clips from their time in the house. Talla came face-to-face with her embarrassing lap dance that she didn't think would be shown on TV--"Sorry Mom".

The final four reflect on their time in the house and they talk about how long they thought they were going to last. Apparently, Emmett interrupted Talla, and she got all upset because she didn't think any of them cared what she thought. So she sat at the table all quiet, and Emmett knew something was wrong with her because she never shuts up. He asked her what was wrong and she said nothing and walked away. Gary told Emmett it was because he cut her off. Emmett thought that was ridiculous because she cuts everyone off, and he said "she hijacks every conversation!"

He decides to apologize because he didn't want to burn any bridges. She said she was upset because she was trying to share her feelings, and that she doesn't ever get to talk. Emmett was going to lose it! If only she could see herself and how much she talks, she would see just how ridiculous that was.

Final 2-Not True
Jillian convinces Talla that she is going to take her to the final 2 over Emmett...and she totally believes it! But then she feels bad about lying right to her face.

Jillian knows if she keeps Gary around, he will take Emmett to the final 2, so keeping Talla is better for her game. But, obviously Emmett wants to keep Gary because he knows she's right...he would take him to the final 2 over her.

I think it's hilarious that Emmett and Jillian have a running joke that when each of them are HOH that they are going to put the other one on the block if they don't do something.

Nomination Ceremony
Jillian nominates Gary and Talla

Big Brother Canada, Ep. 1.26

Things are Boiling
Andrew and Talla are on the block and they both think that they are safe. Emmett talks to Andrew and he wants to let him know that he might be sending him home. Emmett knows that Andrew will be part of the jury and he will need his vote. He says "I'm pretty sure you're fine." Andrew didn't really care for that comment and he's now a little worried.

Andrew is pretty sure he has Jillian's vote, but Gary he isn't so sure about. Gary thinks Andrew needs to come to him with a real deal, otherwise he's voting him out.

Talla goes on the attack, and she goes after Andrew. He thinks it's funny, but she was getting really annoyed by his comments and his attitude. She called him a snake, and that didn't make him too happy. Andrew usually can keep his cool, even though things really bother him, but this time he lost it and screamed at the top of his lungs back at her.

In the midst of the argument, Emmett put his arm around Talla in support of her, and that made Jillian mad because it was fueling Talla's fire. Later Jillian talks to Emmett about possibly keeping Andrew. She doesn't want to take Talla any further in the game because she hasn't done anything. She said that Andrew doesn't deserve to go home, and she wanted to stick up for him in the argument, but she couldn't.

Jury House Update
Topaz is ecstatic that Gary (her other half) is back in the house. She hopes that Gary wins. Alec hopes that Gary doesn't trust Emmett, because that is what got him evicted. His first clue that he wasn't trustworthy was how quickly he "dropped Tom like a sack of rotten tangerines". Topaz said that Emmett is the only person Gary will trust.

Alec talks to the group about he and Peter's alliance called the Shield...except he says they spell it with a "y"...really? He said it's because "why not bro", and he showed them all the symbol. AJ thinks it's hilarious, "the goddess and the geek" and he says to Topaz "this was your showmance." She says the Shields gameplay was not that good, and AJ said that's why Alec is not the emperor of doom but "the emperor of douche", says Topaz. Ugh, she really annoys me.

The next person to join the house is Peter. Peter revealed that Jillian swore on her life that he was safe. Topaz was still really upset with Peter for not saving her.

Alec and Peter, doing their best Will and Boogy: "Weren't we supposed to be 1 and 2?" "Oh well, 6th and 8th are pretty good too."

Emmett's Connections
Emmett seems to be golden with every person in the house. He's going to be very tough to beat. We know that him and Jillian are tight, but he's now convinced Talla that he would rather take her to the final 2 than Jillian because Jillian's won too many HOH's. He also is the only person Gary trusts, so they are good as well. Emmett also tells Jillian that he thinks they should distance themselves for awhile so that the others are more convinced that they aren't a solid final 2, and that there are some holes in their relationship.

Eviction Ceremony
Gary--Andrew
Jillian--Andrew

And with a vote of 2-0, Andrew has been evicted from the house :( He seemed pretty surprised. I'm bummed, I kind of wanted him to stick around and even possibly win it all. As he walked out and said "It hurts the back", as if he had been stabbed in the back.

He seemed to take it pretty well, even considering that he had already voted Gary out of the house. He recognizes that it's just a game, and you know what...it is his first time playing the game...haha!

HOH Competition
Sitting on top of a pool of water...they have to answer questions and if they are wrong, they fall in the freezing cold water. The questions are true or false based on a picture they will be shown. Least amount of dunks in the water wins.

1. Jillian and Talla both were wrong, and Talla lets an f-bomb fly! This isn't the After Dark, this was an actual episode!
2. All 3 were wrong!

...to be continued!

Big Brother Canada, Ep. 1.25

Emmett Is Connected
Emmett says he is connected to everyone in the house, and he has no enemies.
1. He has been in an alliance with Jillian since Week 1
2. He has been in an alliance with Gary since Night 1
3. He has a Nova Scotia bond with Andrew, and they are part of the East Coast alliance
4. He is connected to Talla through Jillian and he's saved her a couple of times

Damage Control
Emmett reassures Gary and Andrew each individually that they are good. For the time being, it looks like it's working, moreso with Gary than Andrew. Andrew is still really upset. He is like a ticking time bomb. He's been building up a lot of things for the last several weeks, and he's starting to lose it a little bit.

A Visitor
An envelope is slid under their front door and the doorbell rings. The letter says that a visitor is coming for a sleep over. Talla is flipping out! She runs around the house screaming that high pitched scream of hers. She can hardly contain herself.

Finally, the door opens and it's BBUS's Dan Gheesling! "Who's ready to be coached up?' Immediately, Talla jumps on him! Poor Dan, he said he was attacked by a "5 foot wind-up doll that just doesn't stop! I'm 30 seconds into this game and I'm already being attacked. Why am I not surprised?"

Dan then gets up in front of the houseguests and gives a little speech. He says he's not wearing black because of his own funeral, but because of one of theirs. He said Dan has been given the power to evict one of them. BUT, he was just trying to teach them a lesson. He said they have all been "misted" (a term he coined). He said none of them were going any where. The lesson was to never let another houseguest get up and address the group like he just did.

Dan & Gary One-on-One

Gary: "They want me out". Dan thinks that behind all the glitter that there is a gamer inside of Gary, and he's going to try to bring that out. Dan thinks he needs to use the knowledge he gained at the jury house to his advantage. Gary tells Dan that he needs to get Jillian out because of her showmance with Emmett. Dan asks if there is any scenario where that could happen, and Gary said if Talla won the Veto and removed him. So, Dan said, that's what he has to work on. Silly Gary said he never thought to align with Talla. Oh my...Gary, you have to look at every possible scenario in this house.

Veto Competition, Hosted by Dan
It's the Price of Veto "Prize or Punishment" challenge. They bid on different things worth a specific amount of points, and the one with the most points wins. They don't find out what they "won" until the end when everything is tallied up.

1. Cut up the clothes you are wearing for 5 points--Talla (she didn't really think it through, she loved her shirt and her skirt was new)
2. Have-Not for the rest of the season for 6 points--Gary
3. Willing to dress up in a prison suit and carry around a ball and chain for the rest of the week for 7 points--Gary ("it's a fashion crime" for someone who changes his clothes multiple times throughout the day)
4. Slop pass for the rest of the season to give up 5 points--Talla
5. Willing to stay awake for 24 hours for 7 points--Gary
6. Willing to be the house bathroom attendant for the day for 6 points--Andrew
7. Win $1000 by giving up 9 points--Emmett
8. Willing to go the rest of the week (no swimming or hot tub either) to earn 9 points--Gary
9. Willing to accept a haircut of Big Brother's choice for 11 points--Andrew (Dan buzzes him a mohawk)

Winner of the POV: Gary

Emmett was sneaky, he was hitting the table with his hand instead of the buzzer to make it seem like he was trying for the punishments. When, in actuality, he didn't want to win the Veto, he just wanted the money.

Gary & Talla
Talla decides it would benefit her to work with Gary. They make a deal that if they win HOH they won't put each other on the block. Gary is actually telling everyone the same thing, but his true alliance is with Emmett. He just wants everyone to think he is the perfect person to take to the final 2.

Emmett sees them talking from the HOH room and he tells Jillian she is in trouble because those 2 are obviously working together now. He says she hasn't worked hard enough to work with Talla.

Dan's Mist
Dan wants to give out some lucky red headbands like the one he wore on BB. In order to earn their bandanna, they had to do something that Dan said.

He tells Talla if she wants it, she has to jump in the pool.

Dan thinks Jillian is too reserved, so he tells her to pour something (it looked like a big bottle of apple juice or something) all over herself to show she could let loose and have some fun. Talla thought it was absolutely hysterical.

Dan wanted Emmett to feel like the third wheel for once, so he told Andrew to kiss Jillian right in front of Emmett....and he did!

Dan says that Emmett needs to talk more, and be like Gary (because Gary talks a lot). He tells him to impersonate Gary. Dan thinks deep down inside of Emmett, there's a little bit of glitter waiting to come out. I don't think he sounded like him, he just swore like Gary did.

Since Gary has to stay up for 24 hours, Dan tells him to pour water on Talla while she was sleeping on the couch. She was NOT a happy camper! She was going to beat them over the head with that pan. She looked like a drown rat.

Dan & Emmett One-on-One
Emmett is worried that there are so many big personalities in the game who talk all the time, and he is quiet. But, he said because he listens so much, people tell him more stuff than they probably should.

Emmett doesn't think that anyone in the jury house will vote for Gary to win because he got a 2nd chance.

Emmett trusts Jillian but he also thinks he can beat her, and he already has his speech prepared that he can "crush her with."

Marsha Sees Dan
"Whoa who's the new guy?!" Dan had so much fun messing with Marsha, and he also sweet-talked her a little too, complimenting her gold horns (they're antlers Dan) and pretty eye lashes. Marsha asked if he had seen Peter because she hasn't seen him for awhile.

Dan & Jillian One-on-One
She says she has no doubts about Emmett, but she doesn't think she can beat him. Dan thinks that's crazy that she would go to the finals with someone she knows she can't beat. Dan said it's obvious everyone loves Emmett, including the jury, and even he likes him. But, that means he should be stabbed in the back right now!

Gary's 24 Hours
He starts pacing in the backyard all by himself. He's all alone because everyone else is sleeping. He starts to get a little delusional. When BB tells him he is done, he shouts "Thank you Lord!" and proceeds to go snore in the Have-Not room.

Gary Confronts Emmett
Gary wants to know why the plan has changed since they first talked. They agreed Andrew was going to go, and now it seemed like they wanted him to stay. Emmett says, OK, we'll send him out and I'm doing it for you. He then decides he needs to separate himself from Jillian a little bit, and he says maybe she needs to go up. Oh, boy, that would create some fireworks!

Dan & Andrew One-on-One
Dan says he's been put up 2 weeks in a row by his alliance, when there were other options. He thinks Andrew should be scared and he needs to do something right away before Jillian and Emmett vote him out, because it's clear to him that neither of them are going to save him.

Game Changer
Emmett asks Talla if he would put Jillian up if she would vote to keep her. She was absolutely shocked that Emmett would even consider doing that. She would owe Emmett for saving her by not putting her on the block. He is hoping by having that conversation with her that that will bring her closer and keep her happy.

Veto Ceremony
Gary saves himself...shocker! As a replacement nominee, Emmett nominates Talla

Big Brother Canada, Ep. 1.24

HOH Competition
Continued from last episode, who will win?

Talla was so completely lost. Is there anything that she's good at? The only thing that she ever has a chance of winning are endurance competitions. Gary seemed to be just as lost, just putting random pieces up.

Emmett and Andrew are making some headway with their puzzles. Emmett says that he likes to take things apart at home and see how they go back together, so that seems to be helping him.

Emmett is finished and Jillian is hoping that he's not dq'd. Ha! I would be worried, too.

Discussing the Twist
Andrew is really mad that Gary came back because he was the HOH that got him out of the house, so he knows he's going to be a target. He feels like his HOH didn't mean anything.

Gary is hoping that he is still good with Emmett, because he's his only chance at an ally. Emmett is kind of the only person in the game who thinks having Gary back in the house is a good thing. He makes a good point that if Emmett and Jillian align with him, they have the numbers to go to final 3, if they go together in getting in Andrew and Talla.

Sneaky Gary
Gary tells them that the jury house loves Andrew, when really he only has AJ's vote. Then when Jillian leaves the room, he tells Emmett that he really thinks they need to get Jillian out! Really Gary? You think that's going to make Emmett want to work with you? Not only that, but she was right around the corner and he's talking all kinds of crap about her. Not cool Gary, not cool. Emmett tells him he's being like a baby. Emmett says that he would go to final 2 with Gary because he thinks he could beat him, not because he likes him.

Gary says that the jury house hates Jillian, but he tells her that they all respect her. Jillian was worried that the jury hates her because of how many people she lied to and put on the block. She also thinks that because of the threats that Peter made to her if she got him out of the house.

I think Gary did an excellent job of telling them all what they wanted to hear about how the jury was feeling. He also did a very good job of making it believable and coming up with valid reasons for the jury thinking certain things.

Marsha's Challenge for Talla
Haha! Talla and Marsha, oh my. She has to do a one hour talk show called "Talking with Talla!" and she has to start with a 2-minute monologue and then interview each of the houseguests individually and find out one fact about them that she didn't already know. So, can we just talk about the fact that she didn't know what a monologue is? And how funny is it that Marsha doesn't have much faith in her: "Get ready for our first fail everyone." lol

Gary is first up. She spends like a 5 minute rambling sentence trying to ask him 1 question! Wow, that was painful. But, she does get him to say that he got really good grades in school and got a scholarship.

Emmett wasn't a very willing participant. She asked him how far he's traveled in Canada, and he says he's driven all the way across Canada. She asks what the best thing he stopped to see was and he said a dinosaur museum. Apparently, this is in Alberta and "I should really know that."

She asks Jillian about her teaching degree, which Jillian said was in the sciences, including earth science. Talla asks "what is earth science" and, shocker, she didn't know what that was!

She asks Andrew about traveling and she said she didn't think there was such a thing as a traveling visa and Andrew said that there was, but it wasn't a credit card. And, guess what...she didn't know that!

She then reports back to Marsha and she informs Talla that she passed and she starts rolling around on the floor! Oh my! Marsha says: "That girl is a handful, and I don't even have hands!" The reward was a festive night of Talla-tinis. Oh no...more alcohol...this is not good!

Chess
Emmett teaches Jillian how to play chess and he likens the BB game to chess. And just as they are talking about pawns, Andrew walks in the room. Jillian and Emmett decide that Andrew has to go on the block as the pawn. Later, Andrew comes back and jokes about who Emmett was going to put on the block, thinking that it would for sure be Gary and Talla. However, Emmett informs him that he was trying to avoid a scenario where someone gets taken off the block and he's forced to put up Jillian as a replacement and he would never  be able to forgive himself if she would go home because of him. Now Andrew is really worried. He doesn't know why Emmett is doubting his loyalty to the alliance. Andrew flat out calls him a prick to his face. And THEN Emmett makes the BIG mistake of telling him that he was doing the same thing that Jillian did last week. He tried to cover himself by saying he thought Jillian told him the plan. Andrew is PISSED to find out that both Emmett and Jillian are putting him on the block to cover themselves. Emmett knew as soon as he said it that he should not have told him that. Emmett then tries to cover again by saying that by putting him on the block, the rest of them will really not suspect that they have a final 3 deal.

Jillian felt so badly that Andrew was upset that she said she was almost willing to chance going on the block if it meant that they could win Andrew's trust back.

Nomination Ceremony
Andrew nominates Andrew and Gary

Emmett says he nominated Andrew because he's the only one who stands between him and winning and that he's a huge comp threat. His reason for nominating Gary is that everyone in the house only has 1 life, but Gary has been given 2 lives, so he wants to see how long this life lasts.

That was kind of a risky move, because Andrew is not happy about this at all. It would be better to make Talla mad at you for being the pawn than someone who is in your alliance.

Emmett still hasn't decided who he wants to leave this week, so he's letting both Gary and Andrew think that they are the pawn.

Big Brother Canada, Ep. 1.23

Talla Starts to Lose It
Talla just can't handle being on the block! She even gets Andrew ticked at her. Peter uses this opportunity to say that Talla doesn't deserve to go to the final 4, and try to say that he does. For some reason, Emmett tells Peter that he isn't safe, because Jillian is having second thoughts about bringing him to the final 4. Peter says that he's been loyal to them, and didn't vote to evict Andrew because that's what they wanted.

Emmett tries to tell Jillian that he thinks they have a better chance by bringing Peter instead of Talla. He said that Talla and Andrew are too close. Jillian thinks this move would benefit Emmett more than it would her. She thinks taking Talla would help her more.

Peter Decides to Create Some Chaos
He decides that he only has 24 hours to save himself, and he's going to go out with a bang. Peter manipulates Talla to get her to say what he wanted, so he could take that info back to Jillian. He knows she isn't good at thinking and talking very fast. So, he quickly asks her who she would target to position herself better in the end. She hesitates, but he says that she should go after Jillian, and she agreed. Success! Now, all he has to do is go tell Jillian that Talla said she would go after her, and he should be golden, right?

The Vote
It's crazy that only Emmett and Andrew are voting tonight. I can't believe that we are only down to 5!

Andrew-Peter (and he throws up the Shield sign...lol!)
Emmett-Peter

And with a vote of 2-0, Peter is evicted. I'm kinda sad to see him go. But, wait...hold up...something's going on here...

Before Arisa even announces who's leaving, Peter stands up and goes and sits on the top step. Arisa says that he's been evicted, and he proceeds to make a speech. He says "There's an idea of Peter Brown that was not real. This confession has meant nothing. This is not an exit. Disappear, here." What the heck does that mean? He doesn't say goodbye, he just takes his bag and leaves.

Then he makes his way outside, and he sets his bag down and writes something with his finger on the doorstep. What the heck is he up to? Who is Peter? Is he OK?

Then he starts acting like a maniac, walking around the stage and getting the crowd all amped up.

Arisa asks him what he wrote, and he said the same thing he's been writing all season "Fate." He said "I believe in me, I believe in the Shield. But, I guess this is when I was supposed to go."

He had some very strong words when asked about what he said yesterday about really only trusting Emmett. He said that it's hard playing with idiots, and he hopes that Emmett wins because all "the others are largely useless."

He doesn't think that there is any one thing he did wrong, he thinks he die everything was wrong because he is sitting there.

His final thoughts on the remaining houseguests:
Talla: "Talla doesn't know what game she's playing, unfortunately."
Andrew: "Andrew's lucky to be there."
Jillian: "Jillian thinks that winning HOH's means that she wins, that's not true at all, she also doesn't have a clue what she's doing."
Emmett: "Emmett understands the game, and I believe that he will win."

Jury House
Alec is determined to throw everyone under the bus except for Peter. He tells them all what Jillian did, and now AJ and Gary have changed their feelings about Jillian.

Topaz totally blames Alec for her being evicted and couldn't believe that Peter didn't use the veto to save her. Alec tries to keep the peace because he knows he has to live with these people for a couple weeks.

Yikes! I would NOT want to be there that long with a bitter Topaz!

Twist-Power Shift #3
The jury members all join Arisa in the studio, and all are excited to find out who gets to go back in the house.

Only 5% separated Alec and Gary, and Gary is voted back into the house!

Inside the house, they hear everyone in the audience screaming, and then Gary walks through the door!

HOH Competition
Challenge: put together a puzzle in the shape of the BB house. This actually looks really hard because the pieces are all really crazy shapes. Oh man! Another "To be continued"...

Another twist: Dan Gheesling is going to be joining the house for a sleepover!

Big Brother Canada, Ep. 1.22

After the Nomination
Peter and Andrew are on the block. Peter thinks Andrew's the target. Andrew thinks Peter's the target. Someone is clueless and someone's going to be shocked.

Emmett wants Jillian to tell Talla that if she wins Veto, she can't save Andrew, because that would mean that Emmett would get put up.

POV Competition
All the houseguests get to participate. They have to clean a big set of teeth, solve a puzzle, and then search through tons of sheep to look for one that has a star. The first one to tuck themselves in the big bed, wins. They also win a $10,000 shopping spree at The Brick.

The teeth part of the challenge proved to be very difficult, because that green stuff would not come off! They were all getting pooped. Talla was too short to reach. Peter got frustrated and he hit the teeth and the brush broke! Andrew found that hitting it did loosen the plaque up and it began to come off easier. Emmett then copied what Andrew was doing. Andrew finished first and Emmett was close behind, and they move on to the next round.

Emmett then tells Jillian to bang the brush. Uh oh...Talla realizes that he's helping her, and helping is not allowed! Then Jillian finished, and Peter is ticked! He threw the brush at the teeth and it burst into a ton of little pieces. Then Big Brother announces that they are reviewing the tapes because of a possible infraction. Oh no...we know what that means. Yep, he assisted Jillian, and he's disqualified. Jillian quickly says that she didn't even hear him or use the technique he was telling her to use (and she didn't). Emmett gets very upset and starts screaming at Big Brother, and he pretty much just threw a little temper tantrum. How embarrassing.

Because of Emmett being disqualified, they go again, and it's down to Peter and Talla. Peter then finishes and he gets to move on.

Time for the puzzle round. Andrew did it in no time and Jillian finished 2nd! Peter is out. That was amazing because she said she never understood how to do those types of puzzles. She was so funny as she was describing herself doing the puzzle. She was like "I'm gettin' it, I'm gettin' it, and I'm figuring it out. Just move this 3 times and get rid of this." So funny! Peter wasn't so happy and he threw a temper tantrum of his own, and dumped the puzzle table.

Last round, Andrew vs. Jillian. Andrew got the sheep, and tucked himself in and Peter said he "crushes my dream." He won the Veto, and obviously plans to take himself off the block.

Poor Peter was really taking the loss hard. He feels like he's never mattered before and he really wanted to come out as a winner in this game. He's afraid that the loss at one puzzle has cost him the entire game.

Phone Challenge
Jillian answers and receives a mission for the entire house. They all must freeze. They can't move or talk or anything. If one person fails, they all face a punishment. But if they succeed, they will all get a surprise that will bring them "closer to home."

At one point when the froze, a big sumo wrestler came into the house. He walks right up to Jillian, who was carrying Jillian's laundry, and he just stares at him. He lays down right next to Emmett on the ground. Challenge successful.

Another time freezing, and cheerleaders enter the house and begin cheering around Andrew.

The next time, low and behold, Andrew's twin Pete comes in, and Andrew just about loses it! Pete hugs him and shows him video of his nieces, and Andrew's crying! Pete tells him how proud he is of him and that he'll get to come home soon. That has to be torture for him! He tries not to smile, wow...that was crazy!

They are finally told that they have succeeded and they will get video calls from their families.

New Deal
Jillian begins to think about who's in the jury house and how Emmett hasn't made anyone mad. She talks to Andrew and they decide it might be best to work together. They shake on a final 2 deal, but Jillian reveals in the DR, that she's LYING!

Veto Ceremony
No surprise, Andrew uses the veto on himself. She obviously won't be putting Emmett on the block. Poor Talla, as much as Jillian doesn't want to have to put her up, that's what happens.

Sunday, April 14, 2013

Big Brother Canada, Ep. 1.21

HOH Competition
We can automatically count Talla aka "Lala" out...she sucks...at EVERYTHING! It looks like it's between Peter (working from bottom to top) against Jillian (working from top to bottom). And it's JILLIAN! She was excited to put it mildly.

Talla then goes and has a pity party for herself. Not so much for losing, but because Emmett put her on the block.

Emmett questions Jillian about why Peter didn't go on the block instead of Talla. To be honest, I'm not really sure either. They should have just kept the peace and put Peter up. Now Andrew and Talla don't trust Emmett and Jillian. It doesn't matter what they say to try to rationalize it, Talla and Andrew aren't buying it.

Who's Gonna Be The Pawn
Peter is obviously going on the block, but the question is: who is gonna be the pawn? There's only 2 options: Talla and Andrew. Jillian thinks that Talla has not won anything, so she should offer herself up to go on the block. But she doesn't see it that way. She says she will have nothing to do with her alliance if they put her on the block.

Peter's Final 2?
Peter once said that Jillian could possibly be someone to go to the final 2 with. Now, he talks with Emmett, because he thinks maybe he can go to the final 2 with him. He says that Andrew is a threat in competitions. Peter can help them get Andrew and Talla out. He's fairly certain that if he can get to the end, he can talk his way into winning the $100,000.

Have/Have-Not Competition
Emmett and Peter vs Talla and Andrew

The challenge was to have one person in a tub and they have to wear down an entire bar of soap to get to a key inside. Lots of rubbing going on, and if you didn't know what was going on, you would think it was something very inappropriate.

Emmett and Peter are the winners and are the Have's for the week. Uh-oh, Lala is not liking that she is a Have-Not for the week. Get ready to feel her wrath.

Not only are they the Have-Nots, they have to wait on the Haves, hand and foot. They have lots of chores to do and have to get up an hour earlier to get them done. And the craziest punishment of all was that they have to watch a 10 minute compilation video of Emmett and Jillian kissing. Really? That's just stupid. Talla was absolutely refusing to do any of it. Then to make things worse, the Haves get to write down luxuries that only the Haves can enjoy. The whole thing does seem kind of ridiculous, but it's a game and these are the rules. You just have to suck it up and do it. Looks like Andrew is going to be doing EVERYTHING with no help from Lala. Talla: this is not helping your case for not going on the block...just a thought.

Nominations
Andrew tries to reason with Talla about why she has to go on the block instead of him. Andrew says he's won 3 competitions and she's won none. When he goes on the block, he's not a pawn, he's the target. She still wasn't getting it.

In the middle of the night, Peter had an epiphany and ran to tell Emmett right away. If Jillian puts Peter and Talla on the block...if Andrew wins POV and saves Talla (because they are allies), then Emmett has to go up on the block. Emmett said that stuff like that is why they keep Peter around...he's smart. Emmett goes and talks to Jillian right away so they can figure something out.

Nomination Ceremony
Jillian nominates Andrew and Peter

She nominated Peter because she thinks they lost trust with him when Alec was voted out. She nominated Andrew because she had to choose someone else and Talla was "too-too cute to put on the block".

Neither Peter nor Andrew are too sure where they stand, are they the pawn or the target?

Big Brother Canada, Ep. 1.20

We're in for another double eviction folks! Buckle your seat belts, it's going to be a wild and crazy ride!

The Scrambling Begins
Alec talks to Emmett to try to gain back his trust and say that Topaz is a threat. Peter pitches the same thing to Jillian and Emmett. Jillian says that if Peter can get the vote to 2-2 that she will break the tie and send Topaz home.

The Vote
Talla--Alec
Emmett--Alec
Peter--Topaz
Andrew--Alec

With a vote of 3-1, Alec is evicted from the house. I'm sad to see him go. I just wish he would have gotten rid of Topaz earlier and was fully with Emmett and Jillian. So sad.

1st HOH Competition
Plead Your Case--decide if the evicted houseguest's quote is True or False

It comes down to Andrew and Emmett, and after a tie-breaker, Emmett wins! They had to guess the number of minutes in one of the challenges, and Andrew guessed 188 minutes and Emmett guessed 190 minutes! Wow, that was ridiculously close!

Nominations
With only a couple minutes to decide, Emmett puts Topaz and Talla. Wow, I'm shocked! I really thought it would be Topaz and Peter. Emmett says the reason he puts Topaz up is because she is an endurance machine in comps. He says that he put Talla on the block because she annoys him. Really? I love her expression when he said that!

POV Competition
Because there are only 6 players left, they will all be playing. They have to find all of their letters in a big bin of packing peanuts and get them into their mailbox. Peter finds his first one very quickly. Topaz finds one. But it's Peter with his 2nd and final letter before anyone else even finds one! Wow, Peter is on fire! He didn't even need to win this time.

POV Ceremony
Peter decides not to use the Veto and the nominations remain the same. It's kind of surprising that he didn't save the one person who was kind of forced to be on his side.But, on the other hand, it shows some loyalty to the other side which could work to his advantage.

Eviction Ceremony-The Vote
Jillian--Topaz
Andrew--Topaz
Peter--Topaz (on behalf of Liza)

With a vote of 3-0, Topaz is evicted from the house! It's about time! I am so happy to see her go!

2nd HOH Competition
This is a familiar challenge. They have to put eggs  with houseguests names on, in order of eviction. They have to maneuver the eggs through the chicken wire. This challenge is so much harder than it looks, especially when you drop one and have to start over.

Twist!
A jury member will be returning to the house. Viewers vote for AJ, Alec, Gary or Topaz. Next week we find out who it is! Wow, this could really change the game.

Big Brother Canada, Ep. 1.19

Jillian tries to convince Peter that Alec is her target and not him. She knows that after Alec is gone that he will be scrambling to find an alliance. Peter recognizes that it might be a smart move to side with her, and might actually want to go to the finals with her.

Then Jillian does some damage control and needs to tell Topaz why she went back on her word. She says that the conversation that she had with Alec before the nominations really made her not trust him.

Veto Competition
The Players: Jillian, Alec, Peter, Talla, Topaz, Andrew

Emmett was so incredibly upset that he didn't get picked for the Veto. Settle down Emmett, it's going to be OK! But, oh, his troll outfit as host for the competition, was so worth seeing!

The goal of the competition was to put events on planks in order to complete a bridge and then make it over the bridge in the fastest time.

Andrew was stymied by one plank and he finished in a little over 17 minutes! I'm no psychic, but I'm guessing someone will beat that.

Talla is up next and as Andrew says "Talla's strategy is no strategy at all." She didn't unveil all of the events, she just started putting them on the bridge. Dumb, dumb, dumb. She didn't realize that it was a dumb strategy until she got them all up and needed to rearrange them. Emmett and Andrew were cracking up on the sidelines, and Talla yells out that this is looking like a "1919 situation". She only had 4 out of the 14 right when she hit Andrew's time and Emmett told her to stop. Wow, that was just ridiculous.

Peter is up next. He just flew threw the challenge. The fashion show caused him some trouble just like it did for Peter and he got it in 13.52.

Jillian's turn. She only got 1/2 of them by the time Emmett told her to stop. I really thought she would do better than that.

Topaz was in no hurry. Alec could have used her help, but she was not even close.

Alec is last up, and he looked like he was in it to win it. He hit the button the first time at like 3 minutes. He only had 1 to change and Andrew, Jillian and Emmett were sweating. Then he knows which 2 he needed to switch. But he doesn't switch them! He just stands there befuddled and says to himself 'do I really want to win this'? Are you kidding me? He says "I quit". He couldn't even pretend like he was struggling and run out the time. Then as Emmett is going over the times, Alec throws up the Shield sign, and Peter sees it, and he doesn't really know why he did that. Alec thought it would be better for Peter to take himself off the block and him fight for his life than the other way around.

And it's Peter for the win!

Replacement Nominee
Topaz goes to talk to Jillian to make sure that she was still safe. Jillian tells her that even though she said she wouldn't put her on the block...and she didn't...that she now had to. Topaz is not very happy. She made a good point that the whole house knows the promise that she made and now she's going back on it.

Topaz hears the entire group in the HOH room talking. Wait a minute. How in the world are they talking loud enough for her to hear the entire conversation from the kitchen? Jillian was explaining how she was just entertaining Topaz and that she felt like she had to talk to her blah, blah, blah. Wow.

New Dark Moose-Secret Challenge
They notice a new dark moose in the hot tub area. Peter is the only person (other than AJ) who knows about Marsha the Moose. So, Peter waits for everyone to leave, and he camps out by the hot tub, just in case this one also decides to talk to him and give him a task.

He's right! This moose is Marge! I love how into it Peter gets, he just talks to it like it's a real person. This moose cusses and wants to smoke and drink some whiskey! Ha! So, Peter's task is to make the house believe that Tom is coming back into the house! Marge tells Peter not to f*** it up! Ha! Peter cringes, as if he's a little afraid of Marge.

1st task: change Tom's black and white picture with a colored one
2nd task: add another seat around the table
3rd task: put his stuffed animal in Jillian's HOH room

The hardest part for Peter was to go undetected as he made all of these changes in the house. Jillian can see all from the HOH room, so he had to be careful. Luckily, she was looking away from the screen at the time.

Later, Marsha talks to Peter, and she asks who he's been talking to and he says Alec (remembering that NO ONE is supposed to know about Marge). She asks him if there's another moose, and he says "No, I would never do that."

Talla and Topaz were the first to see that Tom's picture is color! Major freakout ensues! They run screaming through the house and Peter must join in. Major paranoia to say the least. And Peter is loving it!

In the HOH room, Emmett and Jillian realize the cameras in the room were pointing in an odd angle pointing at the bed, and she discovers Tom's monkey. She thinks it's a game to find all of Tom's things around the house.

The next day, the houseguests were called to the living room and they all assumed that it was to announce that Tom was coming back. But, it was Peter who stood up and announced the mission to the house. The reward for his success was to make a list of 5 luxury food items.

Veto Ceremony
Peter obviously takes himself off the block. Jillian then replaces him with Topaz.

Monday, April 8, 2013

Big Brother Canada, Ep. 1.18

From what I've been reading on Twitter, this should be a very exciting episode, with lots of craziness.

HOH Competition
I'm not sure why it was legal for Emmett to be sitting down, and if it is legal, why weren't more people doing it? Alec was really struggling and last 1 hour and 20 minutes. He said he felt pretty safe with everyone up there. Big mistake: never get comfortable in the Big Brother house.

Peter was next out at 1 hour and 35 minutes. Not good for The Shield.

Emmett got DQd for taking one of his arms off the bar to scratch. Yikes.

Down to the 3 girls. They endured so much cold and wetness, and it was too much for Talla...she stepped off at 2 hours and 12 minutes. And then there were 2. Jillian slipped, but she caught herself, whew! Emmett was being so supportive from the sidelines...so cute! I am amazed that Topaz was like a rock. I'm surprised that she did so well. She was so numb she wasn't even shaking any more. Alec had a good comment about Topaz: "I guess all that napping and drinking Mountain Dew really paid off in her training regimen."

Emmett tried to get Jillian to make a deal with Topaz and tell her that she would be safe, but she didn't want to do it. Finally after 3 hours, they began to talk. She guaranteed each other's safety as well as the safety of their showmance partner's safety. Topaz says that she could have gone longer, but she wanted to show Jillian her loyalty. They lasted 3 hours and 36 minutes! Congratulations Jillian! Emmett was so cute, he was there waiting with a towel for her and he scooped her up and carried her inside. She told him the deal that she made with Topaz.

Alec was nice to Topaz, but not quite as nice as Emmett was to Jillian. Emmett and Jillian shared a warm shower, while Alec and Topaz shared a warm bed.

Promises Promises
Jillian talks to Andrew and Talla about the "deal" she made with Topaz and immediately said that she thinks she's going to have to break her promise. They then discuss Alec and they think he's telling a lot of lies about who he's in an alliance with to the end.

Emmett is not happy about the deal that she made, but he told her that she should put up Alec and Peter. That way she could keep her word that she didn't put her up.

Then it was time for Jillian to break the news to Topaz. There is no way that this is going to go over well. We all know what a temper Topaz has. She carefully works her way around the subject by saying she wants to keep her safe. Then she throws out Peter's name to see how she'll react. So far so good, and Topaz isn't crazy about the idea, but she would go along with it. Topaz throws out Talla's name because she's a "jumper". The conversation ends with Jillian convincing Topaz that she doesn't have anything to worry about. Jillian can claim success on that one, and Topaz only thinks that her plan has worked. She's in for a big shock come nomination time.

Time to Break the Bad News
Alec comes to talk to Jillian. She breaks the bad news that there's "a possibility" that he might have to go up. At this point, she makes it look like he would be the pawn. He tells her that she is not playing a very good HOH game and she is really worrying him.

Jillian tells Peter that the only 2 people she doesn't have a deal with is him and Talla (even though she does have a deal with Talla). She says she would love to put up Topaz, but she doesn't want to go back on her word. She makes him believe that Talla is her target, which makes him feel OK with whatever she wants to do.


The Cupboards are Bare!
The houseguests wake up and all the food is gone! Nothing but slop is there. Pretty soon the phone rings. Peter gets there first and he gets a task for the entire house. The challenge is that every time the phone rings, they have to say "yes'. If they are successful, the entire house is a Have for the week; if they are not successful, the entire house is Have-Nots for the week.

#1: Jillian: would you like to smother Alec's chest with peanut butter and lick it off? YES (Alec enjoyed it, Jillian and Emmett did not. Jillian said she tasted his deodorant and Emmett didn't care for his smirk, but it didn't matter because he was going to vote him out.)

#2: Dress up in funny costumes? YES (Jillian is pregnant, Andrew is a french maid...hilarious, Talla...I have no idea what Talla was supposed to be.

#3: Talla wax Andrew's legs? YES

#4: Topaz: only speak in French? YES

#5: Emmett: would you like to answer the phone for the next 5 times? YES

#6, 7, 8, 9, 10: Emmett: would you like to drink a glass of cold milk? YES (Sounds easy enough, but after #2, it was getting kind of hard. He was starting to look pale--like the color of milk, Andrew said--and he was feeling pretty crappy. Right after #5...immediately after #5, all 5 glasses came spewing out of him like a volcano. How awful!)

#11: Peter: would you like to eat an entire big salad all by yourself? YES (He has a food aversion and really struggles with foods he's not familiar with and he tried it all, and it all came back up...way to take one for the team.)

#12: Alec: would you like to bathe in a bath of fish guts for 5 minutes. YES

They succeeded so they all get to be Haves for the week!

Nomination Ceremony
Jillian puts Peter and Alec on the block. Let the week of fireworks begin.

Saturday, April 6, 2013

Big Brother Canada, Ep. 1.17

Talla in the Middle
Andrew makes his pitch to get Talla on the East coast side. She trusts Andrew and realizes that this is her best move. She only trusts Peter and Alec about 50%. As she's leaving the HOH room, Peter and Alec pull her aside and make their pitch to try to get her on their side. Peter says that they just wanted her to know that they've been looking out for her. Somehow Talla has become the swing player. Never thought that would happen.

Present from Canada
Canada voted to give the house some girly alcoholic drinks. Talla is super excited, to say the least. It didn't taker her long to get "tipsy". She starts slurring her words, she's falling all over the place and she starts throwing herself at Topaz. It was so embarrassing! She tried to sit down in the DR and she completely fell off that HUGE chair!

Then she fell in the hot tub! Everyone was laughing at her as she peed in the hot tub! At that point, it didn't really seem like a laughing matter. She was seriously going to hurt herself. So, it was Peter to the rescue (since no one else seemed to care). He scooped her up and threw her over his shoulder and carried her into the house. "I, as the only sober, mentally stable person in the house last night, voluntarily took on the task of looking after Talla." I think she will look back on this and be very embarrassed.

Chain Reaction: Alliances are Outed
Emmett tells Gary that he and Jillian are working with Andrew. Gary tells this to Topaz. Topaz tells Alec. Alec and Topaz realize that they need to continue to work together to combat the East coast alliance. The lines will be drawn after the HOH competition. You're either East coast or West coast. No ifs, ands, or buts.

BBCan Families
We venture outside of the house for the first time to see how family members are feeling about their loved ones in the game.

The first moms we see are Alec and Peter's moms. They meet up and watch some footage of the show. It's really interesting to get their opinions. It looks like the 2 of them could very easily be friends now because of The Shield. Alec's mom doesn't think Topaz is for him (I agree). Peter's mom was shocked at him showing feelings for Liza.

Next up is Emmett and Jillian's families. Jillian's mom watches the show with her other daughters. They are all big fans of Emmett, especially Jillian's 15-year-old sister. Jillian's sisters love Emmett and they are calling the couple Jemmett. Aw! Emmett's mom wishes he wouldn't have gotten involved in a showmance so quickly. His parents and brothers are just a tad embarrassed at all of Emmett's PDA in the house. That said, they do all like Jillian and think that she's good for him.

The Vote
Jillian--Gary
Alec--Gary
Emmett--Gary
Peter--Gary
Talla--Gary

Eviction
With a vote of 5-0, Gary is evicted from the house.

HOH Competition
It's another endurance competition--Iceberg Ally. Hang onto the iceberg for dear life. The last one holding on is the new HOH. Starts off easy-peasy, but then it starts tipping. And, you guessed it...Talla started screaming.

Whoa, Emmett is sitting down?! How is that allowed? That would NEVER be allowed on BB USA.

Oh how I hate competitions that are "to be continued"...

Big Brother Canada, Ep. 1.16


The Showmance Is Officially Over!
Alec and Topaz both call it quits! It's about time! Alec wants to distance himself from Topaz and won't feel safe until both her and Gary are out of the game. He now is sharing a bunch of Topaz's secrets with the rest of the house. He says he has a lot of ammunition against her. He even goes so far as to say that he thinks the chances of them being friends outside of the show is about zero.

Meanwhile, Gary has a sad pity party for himself and ponders what he would do if he had to be in the house without Topaz.

East Vs West
Emmett and Andrew chat about some end game plans. Emmett said that Alec and Peter told him that they wouldn't take him to the end. Andrew thought it would be hilarious if him, Emmett and Jillian could make it to the final 3. They are all from the east coast and live in Nova Scotia. Alec and Peter are from the west coast. How funny...east vs west. It's like Westside Story: Jets vs Sharks.

To get some more numbers on their side, Andrew suggests bringing the mountain girl (Talla from Alberta) along. "She'll make us as strong as the Rockies." That would give them 4 against 3 (Peter, Alec and Topaz/Gary). He said, "I don' know if you know math...and I know Talla isn't the best at it, but 4 trumps 3."

Emmett talks to Jillian about the plan and he tells her to get as close as she can with Talla to try to make her feel safe. He said that Peter and Alec are going to be trying to get her on their side. Jillian is on board and told Emmett that she said all along that they should trust Talla.

Veto Competition
The Players: Andrew, Topaz, Gary, Alec, Talla, Peter
The Host: Jillian

The challenge called "Build a Demon" is based on the new movie Evil Dead. The backyard was transformed in a dark and scary graveyard. As host, Jillian had a very sexy outfit on that the boys really enjoyed. Alec said "she could definitely raise the dead and a few other things in that outfit." The challenge was to sift through a mud pit for body parts to put together a complete body AND they're blindfolded AND tied to a rope! The winner will also get to screen the new movie. This gets Peter VERY excited!

Everyone is getting tangled up with the ropes and the mud! That had to be so hard. So, not only can they not see, but the mud is really cold and cold water is falling on them. Geez Big Brother...not making it easy on them at all. A few people find their torsos and an arm and a leg here and there. Topaz thinks she found another left arm, so she tosses it away, and then wonders if maybe it was a right arm. Talla finds what she thinks is a torso, when it really is a small chunk of mud. Haha! She was pretty much just lost for the whole challenge...shocker.

Jillian was really getting into her job as host, as she shouted out things to the people in the mud. She said it was just like being a teacher! "It's exactly what happens in the classroom, except I'm NOT dressed like this, and my children are not looking for body parts in a swamp!"

Poor Peter...he's actually trying and he can't find any body parts. So maybe he hasn't really been throwing other challenges.

It's between Gary and Andrew. Gary has 2 right arms and Andrew is done except for the head! And it's Andrew with the win!

Andrew chooses Talla and Jillian to watch the movie with him. I'm not sure if Talla will be able to contain herself. She's going to be scared for weeks after seeing the movie.

Mt. St. Gary Erupts
What started out as a simple question from Talla to Gary about whether or not he turned off the stove, erupted into a nasty screaming match. Gary responded to her by saying "Can you just not talk to me?" Whoa...totally uncalled for. Someone is not handling being on slop very well and it's making him very moody. Gary says the "shit hit the fan." It was a lot of slamming the table and "don't talk to me like that" and "look at your attitude and get real". He cowered over her and it was like David and Goliath. Emmett stepped in to have her back, but it seems like she was more than capable of handling herself. She's a real spitfire!

Oh the Horror!
Movie time! Talla is screaming before they even sit down. Andrew informs us that he doesn't normally watch horror movies...he's more of a romantic comedy kind of guy. Haha! Poor Andrew, Talla screamed through pretty much the whole movie and I wouldn't be surprised if he has some permanent hearing loss and some bruises to go along with that. She kept smacking his leg!

But, the horror didn't end after the movie was over. Alec decided to have some fun of his own. While Talla was sleeping, he snuck up on her. Surprisingly, she didn't even scream! But she then said she didn't want to sleep by herself. The only other people in the room were Jillian and Emmett and Alec. So, she crawled into bed with Alec, and joked about what would happen if Topaz saw them. And then, lo and behold, who comes into the room. Gary and Topaz. She looks at the beds, puts her hands on her hips and says loudly "Hmmm...Alec and Talla sharing a bed?" Oh boy, here we go...if she even says "you're not getting between me and MY man", I might be sick.

First words out of her mouth "don't raise your voice at me"...as Talla was barely even whispering. "Keep being a slut like you are." Oh, I hate when people clap their hands together as they're screaming.

Topaz says in the DR that it hurt because she had genuine feelings for him. Yeah, I'm not buying that. Just another nasty side of her coming out. She has a real temper problem. Everyone realizes that the showmance is over and this shouldn't even be an issue right? Even if the showmance was on, what's wrong with laying in a bed together with a pillow wall between you? Seriously.

Talla was the bigger person and went to talk to Topaz about it. After cooling down a bit, they did make up.

How strange that Talla was on the receiving end of 2 violent screaming matches from each person on the block this week.

Veto Ceremony
Andrew chooses not to use the Veto...big surprise.

Big Brother Canada, Ep. 1.15

I think some very crazy things are about to happen. When they shut off the live feeds, you know something is up. The live feeds have been down for a few days. I'm not sure if I'm ready for this...I don't want to lose someone I like because of Topaz's stupidity...

Host Arisa informs us that Topaz is going to have to make her nominations immediately! She has been sequestered, and will have 5 minutes to decide on 2 nominees...with no discussion with anyone else! She is NOT the person I want to be making this decision in a short amount of time and with no help from anyone else. Twist: the house is watching her make her decision (and she doesn't know it).

Topaz's Deliberation
The houseguests are seeing everything! She is talking out loud to herself, and they HEAR everything! She spills her strategies, who she wants to work with, who she thinks the house wants out, who her target is. Wow...so much information everyone is learning right now! Alec looks mortified.

Instant Nominations: AJ and Andrew
Arisa asks why she chooses them. She said she doesn't have strong ties with Andrew, but she does with AJ. Earlier in her deliberation, she said that if she would put these 2 up, she would want the house to get rid of Andrew and not AJ. She again names AJ as not a threat, but as a pawn. She then says if Andrew would win Veto, she would backdoor someone, "a stronger player perhaps."

Instant Eviction
Everyone walks into the DR, breathless, shocked, stunned and bewildered. They all are on the verge of breaking down. Wow...they don't know what just hit them, and that they have to make this decision.

Emmett--AJ
Gary--Andrew
Peter--AJ
Talla--Andrew
Alec--AJ ("Topaz why did you do this? How am I going to get myself out of this one?")
Jillian--AJ

With a vote of 4-2, AJ is EVICTED and becomes the first member of the jury. Holy crap! He went from being the pawn, to being evicted. It was bound to happen at some point. I just never thought he would go instead of Andrew. Everyone has been talking about trying to get Andrew out and how AJ wasn't a threat. When did they change their minds? So, Topaz, how did your plan work for you? Not to good, huh?!

Poor AJ, he didn't even have a chance to fight for Veto. I'm going to miss him and his bromance with Andrew, he was so much fun to watch.

AJ Interview
He definitely took the eviction well. He thinks that Topaz wasted her HOH. He hopes Andrew will win the game, but thinks Jillian will win. He thinks things are going to be bad for Topaz because of everything the house heard. I would agree with that.

The Aftermath
Topaz tries to back-pedal about what she said during her deliberation. She claims she doesn't remember what she said. Andrew said that she said he was her target. She says "I never said that." Um, Topaz...even if you don't remember what you said, there is a whole house of people who do, and you said it...you can't change that, so stop lying and own up to it!

Then, Topaz has the nerve to be mad at Alec and Peter because they chose to go against her wishes and vote for AJ instead of Andrew. What?! Are you serious, woman? Oh my gosh. She thinks that they were totally selfish and did it just for them. Well, news to her, but she doesn't have the best game. Alec and Peter absolutely know what they're doing and they have (had) a plan. She has just been along for the ride. She should be thanking Alec, because, even though he's pissed at her, he's still probably going to do some damage control and try to protect her. I sincerely hope that she goes next because she is just a liability. It looks like the showmance is officially over after their argument. So, Gary swoops in to be her defender and make her feel better.

Alec then decides to play up the whole break-up and make people think that he's upset about it. And to Topaz, he is "faking" that he wants to get back together with him. She chooses to ignore him...like a child.

HOH Competition
They had to guess which evicted houseguests said what. It came down to a tie-breaker between Andrew and Talla. Talla gets so close again, but it's Andrew! They had to guess how many balls were used in the "Bees Knees" challenge. He low-balled his guess because he thought she would either write down 17,000 or 4...ha! The answer was 968 and he guessed 300, while she guessed 145. Good job Andrew! He didn't get to enjoy any of the perks the last time he won, so I'm glad he gets to this time.

Andrew then had to choose 4 have-nots. He tried to be as diplomatic about it as possible, and I think he did a good job. His first choice was Emmett--he told him he had a Slop Pass, so he might as well use it. Peter then asked if Topaz was eligible, so he chose her. He asked Peter how many times he had been on slop, and Peter just said he would do it. And finally, he chose Gary because he has NEVER been on slop yet. And Gary had the nerve to get pissed about it! Take it like a man Gary, seriously. "I don't want to see me fall apart on slop." And then he starts crying, and then he runs into the house sobbing like a little baby! Emmett said he was acting like a little kid in a store who couldn't get his fruit loops...hahaha! I wonder if Gary knows how ridiculous he just looked.

Jillian said that she hoped he was joking and then did a great impression of him like dry heaving on the toilet, which is basically what he was doing. Gary said "I just don't know how to do it with my body type." Seriously? Oh my gosh. Emmett had a good one, he said "I thought you wanted to slim down any way." I have never heard anyone cry like him before, that was just odd.

Andrew's HOH Room
His room is vampire theme! Ha!

Nomination Ceremony
Andrew nominates: Topaz and Gary

Woohoo Andrew! "I must avenge AJ." Topaz is up because she targeted him in the instant eviction and because of it, his best friend left the house. Gary is nominated because he voted with Topaz, and he didn't want him to be able to win the Veto and take Topaz off the block.

Topaz: "The fact that I'm up on the block, even though Andrew is supposed to be loyal to Alec, speaks volumes. Honestly, I blame Alec like 110%." Wow. How this became his fault is beyond me. That is just ridiculousness! Thankfully, Alec is so ready so cut ties with her that he wants her gone.

But, just when you believe Andrew that his target is Topaz, he reveals to the audience that since Gary told him to make a big move, that that's what he's doing and his move is to get GARY out of the house. Make up your mind Andrew!

This episode was just pure craziness, and that's just one reason why I LOVE THIS SHOW!

Big Brother Canada, Ep. 1.14

Emmett Confronts Suzette
Emmett wanted to make sure that Suzette knew that he wasn't trying to be mean to her, and that he was just stating what the whole house was thinking. Suzette seemed shocked that the house could feel this way, and no one had the guts to talk to her about it. She said she felt humiliated by him doing it in front of everyone. He said that he was hoping this would make her take a look at the way she was playing the game, and make some changes. She continued to deny that she ever tried to make anyone feel guilty by talking about herself. Wow. Can anyone say 'denial'? She has no clue. At this point, she says that she's just ready to go home. Let's hope the house makes that happen.

The Topaz Tornado
Topaz was napping in the HOH room and had Alec's headphones on. Big Brother was trying to wake her up by buzzing a loud alarm. She slept through it. It kept going off...she kept sleeping. Downstairs, everyone hears it, and Peter had some nice commentary: "The Topaz sleeping alarm, brought to you by Big Brother. Bringing you the best in wake-up calls, each and every day...multiple times." Everyone was getting so annoyed by the alarm. Andrew even said that if he won HOH, he would put her on the block for it. Finally, Alec goes upstairs, and she looks like she's awake now, and just pretending that she can't hear the alarm. Big Brother told Alec to take the headphones to the Diary Room. He now has no music for the rest of the week thanks to Topaz. If I was him, I would be ticked off!

Alec then went to talk to her about it, and he was expecting an apology. But nope...in classic rebel Topaz fashion, she just went off on how stupid that was and "F*** you Big Brother". He got no apology and she didn't even seem to care. Poor Alec. I think he needs to put the kibosh on this showmance. She's not worth it, and she is just dead weight that he's carrying around.

Alec had a guy talk with Emmett and Peter and told them about what happened. He said he's starting to see the kind of person that she is and that she's not really his "kind of person". Finally! I never did see what they had in common. It was all just physical. He said, "And now I have to sleep with this person for another week." He actually brings up the possibility of trying to get her out, even as soon as next week! The only problem is that it does benefit them to have her and Gary stick around for awhile. Alec assures us that no matter what, "The Shield" will remain strong".

Then Topaz talked to Gary, and SHE had the nerve to talk bad about Alec about how he made her mad! Seriously, woman?!

She then realizes that she needs to make nice, and she "throws down the towel" and apologizes to him. She makes it sound like she thinks she did nothing wrong and that she shouldn't even have to be apologizing. Just who does she think she is?

They are both now just going through the showmance for appearances. Neither of them really want to continue it, but they are trying to make the other believe that nothing has changed. Alec said: "The best possible scenario is to just put a bandaid on it, forget about it completely, and just continue on with the loveless, showmantic sham."

Double Date Night with Suzette & AJ
Because Suzette and AJ were on the block together, Big Brother wanted them to have a date night (weird...not sure what that's all about). They were to pick 2 other people to join them. The catch? They had to be 2 people who were not currently in a showmance. They chose Talla and Peter. The rest of the house had to play other parts. The maître d was Emmett. Alec was the waiter. Jillian was the chef, with Andrew being her sous-chef. Gary and Topaz were the entertainment.

Talla was super excited, while Peter was not excited at all. "I don't really like the process of dating, and I really loathe the process of eating." So, to entertain himself and help him get through the evening, he decided to make it into a dinner theater and he started playing a part. He pretended that he was married to Talla (not sure how this would make things better, but OK). Suzette and AJ also pretended that they were married. Suzette liked this idea a little more than AJ.

Alec played the part of the waiter very well, and he broke out his fabulous French accent again, and took on the character of Ricardo. And then Ricardo (Alec) and Jacques (Emmett) took it to another level, and turned into Chippendales!

Peter has very picky eating habits and he has no interest in trying the "revolting" looking steak and lobster, so he orders a potato. He then jokes that he's seen Ricardo somewhere before.

Talla complains that her steak isn't done to her liking, while Andrew chases Jillian around the kitchen with a lobster. Craziness! And then Jillian struggled with having to "murder" the lobsters, so she turned that task over to Andrew.

Surprisingly, none of the dinner guests knew how to properly shell a lobster, so Jillian gave them a table-side tutorial...as AJ, Talla and Peter looked on with disgust.

And then it was time for the entertainment. Gary and Topaz were solo rappers who came together for the night's performance. Topaz's stage name was TZ and Gary was GG, and together they were The Glitter Army. They performed their #1 single "The Sensual Dessert". They actually sounded better when they were rehearsing in the dressing room. During the performance, it was just a lot of sexual moaning sounds. Talla burps and Peter says "And you wonder why I never take you anywhere."

Since Suzette and AJ got a lovely dinner, the other houseguests got a piñata (who comes up with this stuff?). Alec got the killing blow, and the candy came spewing out. Gary picked up a golden ticket that fell out. The ticket gave him he power to replace a player in the next Veto competition.

Eviction Ceremony
Emmett -- Suzette
Topaz -- Suzette
Andrew -- Suzette
Gary -- AJ
Jillian -- Suzette
Peter -- Suzette
Talla -- Suzette

By a vote of 6-1, sobby Suzette is evicted from the house!!!! Who knew she would take being evicted so well? Heaven knows she didn't handle being on the block 3 times that well.

HOH Competition: Before or After
It comes down to Talla and Topaz! Whoa...who saw that coming? Not me. And Topaz is the winner! So the HOH room goes from one half of the fake showmance to the other. Topaz should let Alec have her headphones for the entire week after what she did this week.

Big Brother Canada, Ep. 1.13

Suzette Sob Story
"I don't know when I became the biggest threat in the house man." "No matter what I do, I'll always be the odd man out." "What do I gotta do man?" "I just don't get it man." ""No one's picking off strong players." "I got 3 kids at home." Wha Wha Wha...somebody needs a whambulance! It is so time for her to go!

Emmett says that every conversation, no matter what they're talking about always comes back to her. She wants everyone to just feel sorry for her ALL THE TIME. Enough already! Like Emmett said, he's not there to help someone else win the money, no matter how sad their situation is at home.

Suzette asked Gary if he would use the Veto on her...he's conflicted.

Alec & Peter = The New Chilltown 
The Shield is running the house and they are having fun. Alec impersonates Peter, and Peter impersonates Alec...good times! Reminiscent of Will and Mike Boogey.

Wax On / Wax Off
Topaz needed waxed, so Talla came to her rescue...except it sounded like she was killing her, or she was giving birth or something else horrific was happening. Meanwhile, Gary starts dancing around the room. Topaz is worried that Gary may come out as straight, and then there's gonna be some problems because he saw her...you know...

POV Competition
Players: Alec, Suzette, AJ, Gary, Jillian, Emmett
Host: Peter

The challenge: Stand under a roof with rain (COLD rain) pouring down. They have to catch the rain in a can that is on their head (which had holes in it), and then transfer the water into a tube. The first one to fill it to the top wins.

Can I just say that Peter did an awesome job announcing the competition as a southern hillbilly. And he had really great comments throughout the entire competition. Can he host every competition, please?

Some of Peter's gems:

  • "Everyone's doing marginal." 
  • "Alec seems to be breathing heavy into Jillian's neck, that's awkward."
  • "Jillian almost put her whole head in there, almost falls."
  • "Jillian going crazy."
  • "Suzette banging her head against it, that's not gonna help anybody out."
  • "Gary is in a trance."
  • "Everyone's doing great, AJ's doing adequate." 
  • "AJ finally back, and oh he misses the whole thing!"
  • "And they're making out ladies and gentlemen!"

Suzette was completely lost! She kept her head tilted to the side, and was getting absolutely NO water in her can! She admitted that she had no strategy and she was basically relying on Gary to win and take her off the block. Can't she do anything for herself? AJ wasn't doing much better. Andrew said AJ had no chance to win unless it was against Suzette, but even then he'd still probably lose. I'm sure AJ appreciates his support.

It pretty much came down to Emmett and Gary the whole way. And it's Emmett with the win!

Marsha The Moose
Marsha talks to AJ! Woohoo! Welcome back Marsha!

AJ has a mission: tell 2 houseguests that he wants to turn his obstacle course workout into a fitness DVD when he leaves the house. They have to help him come up with a name, and they have to participate in the obstacle course for at least 10 minutes. He can't tell anyone and if anyone quits early, he loses and has to tell the house he's a failure.

So, he sets off on his mission and begins pitching the idea to different people around the house. Andrew's reaction after AJ asked if he thought he could make a living doing it was great: "I think you'll be a very poor man." He got Talla and Topaz to participate. They tossed around some names like, "AJ's Obstacles" and "AJ's Obstacles of Life". But he goes with "High Intensity Integer Training." ????

AJ goes through the obstacle first to show them how to do it. Alec asks what the correct form is, and AJ says "it doesn't matter, my form is the correct form". Andrew then joins the crowd, he's drinking some water and Alec informs him that "form doesn't matter" and Andrew spits his water out as he laughs! That was great! AJ "always jogging, never running." "Take your time. Walk if you must."

Andrew begins the obstacle course, and he's working the weights. AJ tells him he's doing it too fast, and Andrew says "I'm going to hit you in the face with this." Andrew said "AJ's my man, so he asked me to do something so I gotta say yes, I gotta make him smile, because most of the time, I'm making him cry."

Andrew is always so great for quotes, here's another one: "It will be a cold day in Hell when AJ puts out a workout video, or a self-help video. Maybe this is a 'how to redecorate your lonely desperate basement' video, that might sell."

Talla: "I don't know why I just participated in that."
Andrew: "You are definitely the king of the douchebags, and I hate you."
Topaz: "AJ is the worst trainer of all time."

AJ was successful!! He actually got 3 people to do the obstacle course for 10 minutes. Good job AJ! The reward he won for the house was a summertime pool party and barbecue.

AJ was flirting a little bit with Marsha and he told her that she had pretty eyes. Marsha later said that AJ was cute, but she missed Peter. Ha!

The Pool Party
Talla gets hammered and she unleashes herself on Topaz. So weird! Then she went in the DR and practically passed out on the chair. "I think I'm drunk."

POV Ceremony
AJ doesn't want to continue to be the "Pawn Star" and he's tired of the "heat of the seat."

Emmett weighs his options. 1. Suzette is annoying and is driving him insane (a few too many "Heeeey Booys".) 2. Suzette can't talk about anything but herself in hopes of making everyone feel guilty.

Time for the speeches: AJ does an Indian accent and says "Why not me." Suzette cries and says that she hopes that Emmett could show as much grace as Canada did when they saved her.

Emmett quickly says he is not going to use the Veto (no surprise). But the ceremony didn't end there! In a POV Ceremony first, Emmett addresses the nominees. He tells AJ that he has proven himself to be a physical and mental competitor. He tells Suzette that even though she has a knee injury, she has shown that she hasn't given up and is continuing to fight. "HOWEVER", and it was a big however. He says that he doesn't respect aspects of her game. He said every time she talks to any of them it always comes back to her and she tries to make them feel guilty about her circumstances. He then addressed the house and said "If you're here, you're a threat." Wow.

Big Brother Canada, Ep 1.12

When we last left off, there was a double eviction, in which both Tom and Liza were sent packing. As Liza said her goodbye to Peter, she slipped something in the back of his shirt--it was an elastic band, because he always has an elastic band. He said when he wears it he'll think of her.

Andrew questions Alec on why he threw the competition so obviously to him, He GAVE Andrew the answer...he had no clue what the answer was. In the DR, Alec says he did it because he didn't want to win an HOH during a double eviction, because you only have power for such a brief amount of time. That is very true. You are also put on the spot and have to make a very quick decision about who to put up. That decision could ultimately come back to haunt you later on. He very effectively, just took Andrew out of the next competition as well. Andrew just hopes that Alec keeps his word that he is safe. We'll see.

Alec and Peter do some strategizing and decide who they would put up if they win HOH. Peter says he would put up Suzette and AJ. Alec agrees because Topaz told him that Suzette would put the 2 of them up if she won HOH. So their plan is: if Suzette is in contention to win HOH, they stay in, but if she gets out then they throw the comp as usual. Seems pretty straight forward, right?

Gary enters the conversation, and he says that he would try to get Talla out and put up Suzette as a pawn.

Party Time
AJ goes into the storage room and finds that Big Brother has given them 2 bottles of wine and a box of beer. Even the Have-Nots were allowed to partake. This can't be good, right? This house is crazy enough when there is no drinking going on. So, the drinking begins and the house decides to play Spin the Bottle. Oh, I can't wait to see this!

Alec said that Andrew must have had a magnet in his mouth because everyone kept landing on him! First it was Talla, whom he gave a simple peck on the cheek, but then came back for a more aggressive one from across the table. Then we see him kiss Topaz, and then Suzette, and then it gets interesting. He then gives a rather long kiss to Gary. But he said the most meaningful kiss was with "my man AJ". He literally threw himself at AJ, as AJ tried to back away...so funny! AJ: "Andrew's tongue, just suddenly came into my mouth, he initiated it, it was out of nowhere...it took me by surprise for sure." So much so that he completely fell off his chair!

We did get to see some other matchups: AJ and Topaz, Topaz and Talla--which lasted way too long! What was up with that girls? Alec and AJ were definitely enjoying it.

The alarm wakes the houseguests up the next morning, and they are all in pretty bad shape. Peter said: "It was a mish-mash of eroticism." Andrew goes in for a 2nd go-round with AJ he next morning...haha!

HOH Competition
The houseguests have to make it through a maze, get a code and remember it, and then make it to the car first. The winner will also get $10,000 and another surprise. One by one, the houseguests go through the maze with an itinerary, and look for landmarks.

Peter was up first...he couldn't find the exit! "It's just a calamity!"

Alec was up next. He was cruising! Peter said that Alec entered the maze and "It's like it's not even a maze! This guy can actually do something functional"

Talla was a mess. She is so frantic. She gets to the key box and she yells out a ton of numbers! It's only 4 numbers! Then she really started freaking out! She's yelling and screaming, and saying that she was doing what they asked, but it kept being wrong. Where was she getting all those extra numbers? Peter: "This was probably her best freakout, that I'm happy that I was there to witness it, and I hope that she has another one very soon." She ended up giving up because she couldn't figure it out. After she quits, she THEN realizes what she did wrong. Too little, too late, Talla.

Topaz did not do well either, she was not in a hurry at all. Emmett was opposite of her and he just ran around so fast! He kept bumping into the walls and knocking them down.

Jillian did really well, she kept was lost calm, cool and collected. And then there was Suzette. She just strolled around and banged into the walls and just kept laughing. She was acting like she was still drunk from the night before!

AJ: "It's like a maze in here. I'm lost in this thing." He was hilarious.

The top 2 times: Alec and Jillian, with 17 seconds difference. The winner is: Alec! He climbed into the car to receive his special surprise. It was a video message from his mom.

Another special announcement from Big Brother: No Have-Nots this week!

Nominations
No one can stand Suzette. Alec knows he wants to put her up, so he told her ahead of time. Then she was a bawling mess...again!

Alec and Andrew seem to have an understanding, and Alec promised him that he didn't have anything to worry about. However, Andrew then goes and talks to Emmett, and he shares how upset he still is about the whole HOH comp. Alec ended up with so much on his win, which Andrew couldn't even try for because he was given the last HOH. He didn't get the room, any pictures from home, no luxury items....nothing.

Alec then pulls a group into the HOH room to tell AJ the plan to put him up as a pawn...again. Alec just smirks and looks at him, and he's like 'you've got to be kidding me.' Then to make him feel even better about himself, they tell him it's because he's not seen as a threat and Emmett says "no offence, but you're the the least physical threat here." They go around the room and look him in the eye and tell him that they will not vote him out. Andrew jokes that he is 50/50 about it. Ha!

Nomination Ceremony
Alec's goal was to make this week a fun one, so that people will remember him for making it a fun week and making an easy choice to get a non-player out of the house.

And, as expected, Suzette and AJ go on the block. The whole house pretty much knew what was going on and no one was surprised. However, Alec's speech was unexpected. He used it as a joke, and it was awesome. He told Suzette that they kissed during Spin the Bottle. That passionate kiss changed his life forever, but he found out the next day that she didn't even remember it, so therefore, he had to put her on the block. And to AJ, he said they've been rivals since the beginning of the game, and over the past couple of days, he thinks that he has won Topaz's heart (she happened to be sitting next to AJ on the couch and AJ had his arm around her). He asks him: "you know what else you've won AJ? a spot on the block."

Suzette is delusional and thinks the reason she is on the block is because she's a wild card and that people are scared of her. Yeah right! She says that she is here to win competitions, to make big moves and get people out of the house. Really? Yeah, how's that working for you so far?

AJ feels pretty confident, let's hope he doesn't have anything to worry about.
