Erica would have made legendary for BBCAn and been the new Janelle in terms of comps, shame she lost her place due to a twist and not due to her being perceived as a threat. Now we get to watch super weak boring mindless people like: Paras, Maddy, Alejandro make it far! Woo!

[Mystic Mock]

We'll never truly know as a farcical twist took her out of the game.

And the reason it's been considered over so early is because it's packed full of weak, boring, floating duds. Duds like Paras, who you and many others are inexplicably enjoying watching doing jack shyte other than talking repetitive rot into the cams. "They're all underestimating me, hee hee".."they think I'm a just a dumb little girl from Iran, hee hee" blah blah blah

Re Jillian. While being a beast herself, it can't be overlooked that she had a rock solid partner she tag-teamed wth..which was undoubtedly integral to her success. Wherever your preference lands on Erica | Jillian , as a stand-alone player you couldn't rate either that superior. I prefer Erica because she is much more likeable. I remember Jillian as a bit of a robot/cold fish.

They love keeping in duos in BBCAN, very peculiar kind of gameplay they have.

It's not a bad strategy. If you think you're close to them that's a block of two votes and always a big target for later so if you're still in late in the game with BOTH of a duo (or both of multiple duos) then you have a good shot of continuing to get by.

[rusticgal]

Gutted Erica went...the rest are rubbish. Paras is pathetic and ProSniper, I agree with all you said. The rest are pathetic and cannot stand Daela..they were hardly seen up until now.
Out of all of them I want to see Ryan win...just to wind the others up.

Close to a duo isn't good enough eventually you need your own alliance, and if there's two duos and you're on the outside you could be in huge trouble. Which is what we have here.

[JerseyWins]

Yeah I think part of the issue is these other houseguests haven't realized how close the pair of duos actually are... which is props to the duos

I think they're trying to wait for a triple eviction HOH to take them down too.

GET HER!

He was the same during BBUS last summer. Such a slag.

I just want to say for my own sanity that if the Canada saves wasn't used this week, Ryan would've gone home.

Then Derek, we assume, would've still won HOH and like Kaela would've put Erica. Assuming she didn't win POV, the Canada saves would've saved Erica letting her play another week at least and she'd at least be able to say she was Juror #2 (like she should've been now if there wasn't a Jury decrease )

--

Then you can go further outside the field of things we know for definite, or can knowledgably assume, and say that this caused Erica to be more determined to win HOH and get one of Daela out to cover her back. And even if she didn't and was out up, she probably could've won POV and continued to the following week (unless there was a backdoored making her Juror #3 - still great).

This is just a classic example of how the producers have given all of the right twists, at all of the wrong times.

Exactly, it's the worst strategy to have in the game imo.

The twist was never right as the public shouldn't be voting on the show.

They started to have public votes on the US and Canadian version because the gameplay is often very tame for weeks.

If this twist didn’t exist Erica still wouldn’t be the target this week.. Daela wanted Johnny out before Erica (it’s just he had the veto and couldn’t be the renom). Daela wouldn’t put them both up together, she’d have been fine.... she’s been totally screwed over by producers and had a real shot of making it far in this game.

It is interesting to think who would have won each series without the twists

Season 1: Jillian (very little twists and I doubt Suzette staying made any real effect at all to the game as she was gone soon)
Season 2: probably still Jon
Season 3: probably Bruno or Ashleigh (Britneee saving herself made a huge difference for Sarah’s game - although Britneee going in the final 6 may have allowed Sarah to skate by to the finals again, who knows)
Season 4: probably Tim or Cass (Kelsey coming back made a number for the brothers, they’d have been targeted sooner and Kelsey couldn’t win the needed comps at the end)
Season 5: Demetres (Gary would have still gone by backwards week as he was the giant target sadly, and Kevin was saved entirely by a secret veto used on him and he’d be gone - and so it’s likeky Demetres would have won, perhaps Dre)

[starry]

Duos are very boring too, it just enables boring people like Derek or annoying ones like Ali to slide by. At least on Survivor everyone is a number to help you, on Big Brother they just discard some people as not part of their group like they aren't relevant to the game.
