At the same time, Demetres might be the only one she can beat if the jury just sees him as too much of a lap dog to respect him... so maybe keeping him around for her F2 opponent is still a good thing.

Karen's failure to get Kevin out is what will give her the 20K she doesn't deserve. Demetres would have taken Ika to final two. Now no matter what happens she wins the 20K.

Demetres would win over Karen. Karen was a joke the entire season. She never knew what was really going on but always insisted she did. The jury votes for the best player. Karen got where she did as the goat. The person everyone knew they would win against in final 2. Her speech will be deluded. She will claim responsibility for all kinds of things people in the jury did.

If Kevin wins he will break the North American record for wins in a row to get himself to the end. That is very hard to do.

So go Kevin!

I think it's possible that Karen made that decision because she knows she wouldn't win in a final 2 with any of them as it stands, so her best chance of getting Jury votes is by damaging someone else's game. If she does make F2 the odds are that it would be alongside Kevin, and so by delivering such a huge blow to his game she's put herself in a much better position than she was before. If she hadn't made that move and ended up in a F2 with Ika, Kevin or Dillon, she'd have stood less chance of winning than she does now imo.

No matter what people think of Ika and Demetres, pulling themselves off the block 2 weeks in a row is pretty impressive. I'm sad the season is almost over...but I agree this wasn't the best season. I found this season pretty choppy and almost like they had to use fillers because they didn't have enough content.

Really, REALLY hope the next season is all newbies - so much more entertaining

Nikki and Ika together

Nikki <3 She kind of left abruptly but she was amazing. I can't believe Kevin & William won best kiss, ew.

[starry]

Skipped plenty in this one. I wasn't about to wait several days to find who the HoH was, so I already knew that. Not interested in HoH room, or in Nikki. Not sure why Nikki was there if she didn't present awards anyway. The only interesting award was probably the biggest blow up, hard to disagree with Neda that Ika does seem ugly inside. Obviously the end was predictable anyway. The only big moment really was Karen revealing why she hates Kevin, and it was all over Mark (who was evicted anyway). None of it had any direct impact such as Karen going on the block. She now states she's actually fine with being 3rd.

Im fed up of every comp being describe as "the most important pov/hoh of the season"

as annoying, like a broken record.

[JerseyWins]

Not a great episode but Nikki

Ika being a complete jackass to Demetres for winning HOH

Kevin being so close

[Mandie]

Karen just not even trying is so dumb. I get she probably wont win but then again how many others should have "never won" but did. I hate these award show episodes..always so boring. I get why the houseguests like them but a snooze for everyone else. Id almost rather a full jury house episode,

The funny thing is by evicting Ika Kevin didn't just help himself he also helped Demetres and Karen. Karen is now guaranteed 20K. If Kevin had been evicted she would have lost it. Demetres no longer has to feel pressured choose Ika to bring with him to F2.

Demetres will also be able to sleep before comps. I still think Kevin will win the final comp but getting some sleep will help Demetres.

Can't wait until the finale when Ika gets the biggest cheers

[Calderyon]

Tonight is going to be a good episode.

Agreed. This one was particularly bad.

[Thea]

Awww, poor Kevin. He is so stressed even winning the Veto and there is no one there to celebrate with him.

[Thea]

So great to see Jackie with friends. I hated the way she was perceived in the house. I think her biggest sin was being too naive and honest. She lost everyone she started to get close to so she didn't have anyone to strategize with. Trusting Cass and Dre ruined her game.

[Calderyon]

Bye Ika. Hopefully that´s the last time we see you. Neda´s been avenged now.

Agreed!

Both times Ika's been in there she's looked for an easy victim to persecute and this year it was Jackie sadly.

Not saying Jackie didn't have her faults but then who doesn't. Ika's got more faults than all the other houseguests have together ffs!!!!

Such a great eviction result tonight. Good riddance/bad rubbish etc...

Bye-ka!!!!

[Headie]

Ika walking out with grace and class

Kevin acknowledging that she deserved to win more than him

Arisa calling her one of the best players to ever play the game

She is a Big Brother legend!

[Guuki]

Have you seen this?

Youtube video

Nothing special, but it's nice to see what Nikki and Tim's opinions were about the final four.

--------

I've just watched yesterday's episode and it's sad to see Ika go. I really hoped she would make a final two with Demetres. On the other hand she joined The 4th Placed Queen Club alongside Talla, Heather, Britnee and Cassandra and that's quite an achievement as well.

I hate Kevin and I don't want him to win, but I have a feeling it's going to be him. If there is a mental HOH comp, Demetres has no chance.

[JerseyWins]

Kevin's monologue before the POV competition is so cringey... in the best possible way. Let's go Kev

Loooool Karen: I thought I heard someone in here crying.

LOL I knew Karen might just be winning this season!!! Kevin's speech to the jury honestly sounded awful from what they showed.

- Think about the votes. I don't think the jury respects Demetres at all. She might even win big against him when he says he would have taken Ika to F2. She could maybe beat Kevin too. Ika, Demetres, Dillon, Dre, that's 4 votes already for Karen that I see as either guaranteed or close to guaranteed. William might not like Kevin's answers and vote against him. I've also had a gut feeling that Sindy will be voting for Karen over either of the 2 she's against just because that's the kind of thing Sindy would do.

This pitch from Ika is one of the worst ever but I don't think she really had any chance regardless of what she says so eh.

However, Ika truly deserved to be the first African American winner of BBCAN/BBUS (although Godfrey deserved it previously). Still happy she didn't win though.


EDIT: Hmmm though... Ika did say she respects Kevin so maybe she votes for him in the end. Also I just realized that Ika will probably not give Karen any credit when Karen tries to take the credit for Demika dominating and what not... so eh maybe Karen doesn't have a shot idk.

[Wizard.]

^^ AT least with Demetres we would have an ethnic winner BBCAN winners are so mayo.

Ika said that she thought her and Demetres game was better than Kevin lol. Well she could take note that Kevin just voted her out.

If Karen does a great bull**** speech it would remind me of that winner of Australian Survivor.

What crap we are fed about Ika though, she is supposedly a legend and one of the best players ever. Sticking yourself in a showmance alone is a terrible move. But all this hype around her ended up helping her in the house with people accepting her terrible behaviour. I remember Sindy telling someone that having shade thrown at them by Ika was a badge of honour or something. Those are the kind of stupid things that HMs on this think about her, and I think it just shows how bad the game is played.

[Tregard]

I think there is still a path to victory for Karen, given the reaction to her jury video, but I still think the smart money is on Demetres.
