Big Brother Canada 9 - Episode Discussion [Season Finished]

[Jack_]

"Following the shocking and abrupt end of Season 8 nearly one year ago, Season 9 houseguests discover a post-apocalyptic world where the abandoned house lies waiting. The fearless houseguests must rise to conquer unexpected twists and survive extraordinary challenges as they attempt to write their own story and take the title as winner of Big Brother Canada Season 9."


This season's schedule for UK viewers is as follows:


HoH/Nominations
Tuesday's - 2am

Power of Veto
Thursday's - 12am

Evictions
Friday's - 2am



These times will shift back one hour when Canada changes to DST on Sunday 14th March, and then forward again when the UK changes to BST on the 28th. I'll update the OP when the changes occur...if I remember :hee:

[Jack_]

So we have a date.

I'm not too bothered but equally I am craving a reality show fix :think:

[Calderyon]

Would not be surprised if it gets canceled like 8 was.

[Mandie]

If anyone has a live stream when the episodes are on can you please send me the link? Usually I only get to watch on catchup.

Thank you :)

[Jack_]

I’m not excited one bit but here we go

[Jack_]

The house design and overall theme is clever (albeit ugly) but I can’t help but think it would’ve worked better if they’d just...done a redo of last season? Or at least brought some back

I don’t really care that they haven’t, but it deffo would’ve made more sense

[Calderyon]

The name "BB9 The Sequel" would have made much more sense then at least.

[Pro Sniper]

Cox: One word, "lit". Think of one that rhymes with that and you'll know which word I came up with.

Cox: The 2 Captain's have "no idea" about any of this. Sure they didn't..and they were also fan "voted" as the 2 Captains just like we were told(and not at all picked and placed in those cushy roles by production)..And who magically won the coin flip and got to pick the likely strongest male? The determination to cement this contrived balance is clear for all to see. Don't be surprised to see it all fall apart again though..as once this novelty bull is dissolved, the usual pattern is likely to take over again. So if they have any interest in maintaining a gender power balance, they best have lots of easy "answer questions" comps and blind bastards at the ready. Or more of those similar to what they kicked off with: weighed up to "physical proportions"(equivalent to having 1 competitor hold out a heavy axe..while the other holds out a feather)

How do you watch it Jack.

[Captain.Remy]

I thought it was fun. It was setting the frame as the "big twist" was introduced.
The cast looks dynamic and diverse and I hope it stays that way and doesn't end up like BB CAN7..but who knows.
The twist is forcing things to happen but it's also a change, so why not accepting it and see where it goes. I'm not mad at it.

Bro are you ever satisfied with anything? :joker:

[Mandie]

I didn't mind the episode but I don't like how there is no veto for the first round. Although with 14 players maybe that means there is a battle back? Or maybe everyone booted ends up coming back and merging as their own team. Then again perhaps they want a shorter season to make the chances greater for them to not get shut down due to Covid.

[Pro Sniper]

Remy, here's how they could satisfy me..

1) Cast strong females. Types who'll gladly collaborate with each other.
2) Remove ALL blind bastard comps.
3) Stop creating pet-freaks and pushing them to final spots.

If we got 1) we could enjoy a nice balanced game with the typical cocky males not so easily able to control through the whip hand. And 2) only exists to enable 3), so if 3) was scrapped then at least the potential would be there for ANY player to go at ANY TIME. Production demand so much control that they smother any form of surprise..which is terribly bad for a show like this.

[DouglasS]

Strong females have been cast like in BBCAN6 with Erica and Kaela, but for some reason production were all over paras one of the worst ever. Production had to remove Erica to allow paras to Continue to cruise by on her holiday.

And then Kaela was too strong that others were bitter and awarded paras the win because she screamed her answers somehow that is regarded as being passionate?

[Captain.Remy]

They really evicted Julie, like damn, she was good! :skull:
Kudos to Latoya and her gang though, it looks like she really was involved. I thought she would be a floater but she seems smart.

[Calderyon]

She played too hard, too fast. And she should've kept her mouth shut when she heard about Josh paranoiding about boys alliance and Latoya being against her and instead wait and fully go after Josh.

[Pro Sniper]

Yes, DouglasS, for some reason they have their "ideal winner"(Paras, and many others before her) pinned early on..and then they simply shape everything around them. From plotted advancement to privileged edit. It just baffles me how they think this can be better than allowing things to unfold in completely natural like manner. It just doesn't make sense.

With or without production help, the girls have to play their part in actually wanting female alliance, then going all out to make it work. Not only does it seem rare enough to have females in there capable of mixing it with the best of males, but to find 2 or more who are actually willing to have the backs of each other over any male would be pt2 of the challenge. Maybe natural tendencies and dependent needs from females on males is ultimately what dictates power/control leans in direction of males. Even in these days of independent cries and female empowerment..no amount of evolutionary change can bridge the gap between specific differences in hard wired traits.

As far as the overall structure of this season goes, it's yet again looking impossible for any type of power alliance on the female side...witnessed by an early peek into the usual male dominance as the 2 strongest from each team checked in with each other and cockily discussed how they planned to control things. Meanwhile, on the female front, we had "spicy V" swaggering around patting herself on the back because she tasted victory in one heavily biased, female-friendly comp. And the ridiculous Julie talking about "having a story to tell". This sort of self-indulgent rot has no place in this domain.

3 others were seen lazing about in the bathroom..having a great old time and sharing in the joy of being absurdly part of entire group safe from eviction. This prompted "team Captain" Tina to give a nod to the prospect of them all working closely together. In the middle of this fanciful coalition, I must've missed the HUGE joke that had them in hysterics??? All I seen was "spicy" deliberately running out of the shower to show some skin. Perhaps this laughter was brought about by them all acknowledging just what a sham alliance they'd formed. For imagine if this line came over the tannoy: Girls, are you SERIOUSLY going to stick together and do something about targeting all those dominant males?..

https://thumbs.gfycat.com/FemaleFlimsyAsianporcupine-size_restricted.gif
Look how the reactions line up beautifully..

And as those girls were seen mocking each other and their entire gender with sham alliances, the strongest among their gender was forming an actual alliance with the 2 strongest males. Giving us a clear view after only one day that this season is going to be no different than all the rest. The females are once again going their separate ways and are simply trying to outlast each other.

The next alliance seen forming was "The Dolls", should be named 'RAGdolls' once they've been tossed around at the pleasure of their many superiors. That hopeless trio offer no more of a threat than a bag full of wigs, lipstick and glitter. As evidenced by 30odd% being almost immediately tossed from it. 1 stooge down, 2 to go.

[Captain.Remy]

She played too hard, too fast. And she should've kept her mouth shut when she heard about Josh paranoiding about boys alliance and Latoya being against her and instead wait and fully go after Josh.

I knooowwww:bawling: I was rooting for her and was thinking while watching the episode "what is she doing, stop talking ffs!!!".

[Oliver_W]

Caught up with both episodes earlier :laugh:

So far I like Beth, Tera, Victoria, Kiefer, and Latoya. Maybe Rohan, haven't decided yet. Also Josh, mostly because he's hot <3

Not surprised Julie was first, and I was a bit relieved as she was a bit annoying :laugh: all that crap about "wearing heels to take out the trash" and "queens don't hang around with commoners" ... yawn. Breydon doesn't seem much better.

[Oliver_W]

blind bastards at the ready.


2) Remove ALL blind bastard comps.
What's that mean?

[Pro Sniper]

Blind comps are those that have ZERO transparency about them(individually "timed" etc..) with no eyes for us viewers to see exactly what went down(and more importantly each contestant left in dark) we're all left with nothing but the word of production and whatever bullshyte edit they package together. Such blind bitches are clearly only on hand for sake of Production - in order to guarantee the outcome of their desire..which gives them complete control when it comes to protecting their pets. They obviously don't give a damn that its at the expense of 'unpredictability'

[Calderyon]

Only way to have full transparency regarding comps is to show them all live.

[Oliver_W]

Only way to have full transparency regarding comps is to show them all live.

And even then it should be made clear how many questions there will be in a round, lest BB decides to stop once their fave takes the lead.

[Pro Sniper]

WD to the females for at least competing and winning something. Granted, the first HOH comp didn't require any skill above standing like a dummy(the type females have a history of excelling in..) but it's better than nothing. Unfortunately, Austin - much like "spicy V" was more about congratulating herself instead of calming the **** down and using this power position to build a stronger bridge for her crossing. Such a weak ass reign made her "f-2" deal with Beth appear all the more ridiculous.

Usually saved for mid to end season filler, it's already alarming that they're showing "pranks" after only a couple of eps. And that whole steal or share dilemma was just an utter nonsense. Had they left it to group decision of each, it was at least open to some sort of chance that they'd make different choice, but the fact they ridiculously allowed a "negotiator" to visit one another, the boring matchup was without doubt. FARCE.

Beth was seen desperately trying to force a showmance with Tia, looking to become the new Este.

[Oliver_W]

Anyone else think Austin looks like a biological female version of Julie?

[LukeB]

Anyone else think Austin looks like a biological female version of Julie?

Two women looking like each other yup

[Captain.Remy]

Austin saw the light and didn't put Latoya up, which would not have made sense anyway.
Enough of women targetting each other, it's getting old.
I think she made the right choice nominating Josh and Kiefer. It was easy but it made sense: they both bring nothing to her game and can't be controlled.

[Oliver_W]

I do like Josh but he's a bit nothingie so far. He's like a dumb meat-head jock without having any meat :laugh:

I still would though.

[Calderyon]

Kiefer is part of a big alliance though.

Also I do not think if she had targeted Latoya had anything to do with her being a female, more to the fact that Latoya had a big role in the eviction of Julie along with Josh and Julie herself.

She did the right thing though as Latoya would not have gone, Josh would have and Austin would have gone next.

[Mandie]

I find Im liking people I didn't think I would like...although that can all change.

Not a fan of Kiefer though, so no disappointment here if he's gone.

[Captain.Remy]

It was an OK/safe move, there's nothing really exciting there. I always like when one of the nominees is changed after Veto, makes it more interesting rather than playing it safe and keeping the same nominees.

Highlight of the episode was Latoya hating ball pits :joker:

[Oliver_W]

Highlight of the episode was Latoya hating ball pits :joker:

Slowly sinking and disappearing :joker:

I wish Josh'd been taken off, but I guess there's a slim chance Ro will go over him...

Keiffer's annoying af, hooe he doesn't last much longer ...

[Oliver_W]

Austin is pretty stupid for having aimed at Josh as her target, he's crap at comps and no-one trusts him. Why not aim at an actual threat like Latoya or Jedson?

[Pro Sniper]

Austin hoping people "forget" about her HOH reign. They'll hardly do that. Instead, they'll all remember it for the piss weak disaster it was. Tina&Toya bragging about being in a big boring alliance, both ridiculous and delusional enough to believe they're the driving members.

When mullet man had sitdown with Austin to blow smoke, telling her she was "young and beautiful"..she was nodding along like being told the sun will rise tomorrow. Absolutely full of herself is that girl.

Thai's obscenely cheesy open mouthed fake laugh is annoying beyond true description.

https://thumbs.gfycat.com/UntriedLividAntipodesgreenparakeet-size_restricted.gif

The song they produced together was as ridiculous and tragic as expected.

The laughable POV draw was back. A nice big black bag with giant chips in them. And notice again how the cam never remained fixed on the players as they picked from it? RIDICULOUS. Mullet man was in the DR pretending he was hoping for specific player pick. Did you catch him at the end of previous ep where he stated "there's no chance you've seen the last of me".. meaning his production pals had already assured him of what was coming..

[Oliver_W]

Why would they fix it for Keiffer of all people? He's not especially entertaining, and he's certainly not eye candy.

[lewis111]

He’ll say every competition is fixed for literally whoever won it, just like last season

[Pro Sniper]

Why would they fix it for Keiffer of all people? He's not especially entertaining, and he's certainly not eye candy.

But he's "repping" a community..which we again heard all about during his crappy POV speech. The players production give all sorts of help and support to are not always model types. It is of course much more likely the perverts will put all their weight behind someone they fancy, but they'll also spread favours to any type as long as they believe they have enough "character" they can milk. Mullet man is clearly one of those.

[Captain.Remy]

That's sad for Josh, he was entertaining somehow. The pitch he made was actually really good. I think I would have went for it tbh.

Victoria is the new HoH, this should be interesting :laugh:

[Oliver_W]

Felt a bit bad for Josh. Even if he was a crappy player he didn't seem horrible or anything , shame he was so ostracised .

I hope Breydon doesn't last much longer, he's positively ghastly...

But he's "repping" a community..which we again heard all about during his crappy POV speech.

That kind of nonsense shouldn't come into it tbh

[Oliver_W]

Also it feels a bit early for the teams to have ended? There's only been two evictions! Maybe they could have done a mix-up or something to equalise the numbers or something...

[Pro Sniper]

Beth acting like a 2-bob slag..showing her willingness to kiss, dish out handjobs and spread her legs for half the house just to stay safe in the house(Bethy does BIg Bro>Debbie Does Dallas) And this is on top of having production push her hard in the edit. We've had her dancing around a room for half an ep, being the 1 to host the first POV in ludicrous outfit, being the 1 to introduce those silly messages they're receiving..as well as be the 1 to stand in front of the giant screen and operate it. Then they gave her that pet-freak privilege of being the 1 allowed to "explain" her alliance in the goodbye message..like she was the LEADER driving it. EMBARRASSING. And of course she was "the biggest Pike fan ever".. another douchebag pet who was also backed to the hilt by production and allowed to profit off a ludicrous "twist" they threw into his lap. The clown "hinted" at something similar for this season, so watch how when Bethy(or another pet-freak who production are desperate to save) is in eviction trouble or behind in positioning, this "secret power" miraculously popping up for their great benefit. PATHETIC. It's for this reason that I've decided this will be my final season watching this. I'd already decided to ditch the US version.. but rightly or wrongly I always believed the Canada version wasn't as sickening and production driven as the former. Looking/thinking back and having refresher course with this season. it's left me seriously questioning that belief. Even if US is on another level, BOTH versions clearly have a problem letting the game play out in fair, organic manner.

Oh and the crappy "teams" have been disbanded. Now that they've served their purpose of letting pets Tina&Kiefer coast for a week..before conveniently establishing firm alliance for them with mixture of both sides, there was no further need for the nonsense.

[Pro Sniper]

Another laughable HOH comp. The eventual "winner" auto advanced 3 times on the stupid bounce...before "winning" 1 solitary round vs mullet man(who looked as though he wasn't even trying. The obvious perks of being production pet with layers of protection) and yet she was running around saying "they put fire under my ass" EMBARRASSING. And her nom speech was absolutely RIDICULOUS. She actually believes she's playing a "strong game".. when really all she's doing is making a fool of herself by going down that tired old route of targeting fellow female. PATHETIC.

[Captain.Remy]

Not my three favorites being evicted one after the other :skull:
Latoya screwed herself, she did it on her own. A Rohan blindside would have been nice, but she didn't read the room properly. It was clear Josh was big enough of a character to not be evicted. His time was up.
Victoria went straight back at her, and it makes sense. She could have gone for a boring HoH but she's coming after a bigger fish.
It's however sad that it's again a female targeting another female and doing the boys dirty work. I wish she targeted one of the bigger dudes.

That is the main issue. I've no problem with anyone going after "bigger fish"..but if that's your main/sole motive, why should the most dominant males not be at the head of your list? As anti-female and piss weak as her move obviously is, if she'd at least handled it better(been upfront with her target, not ripped the piss out her alliance members..threatening them as replacement noms etc..) she wouldn't have looked so ridiculous. But the way she did handle it meant she did nothing but expose herself as an utterly clueless, hopeless player who has without doubt torched any chance(as slim as it was) she had of making the end and potentially winning. For such moronic play, hopefully she gets her rightful reward of an early pre-jury boot.

[Pro Sniper]

Tragic Tera tells us that those "feeling left out" is what sparked this newly formed "oddball" alliance..expecting to hear her name 2, 3 or 4(max) people, the fool goes on to name SEVEN of the clowns.......HALF the bloody house on opening night..and NOW the MAJORITY in a group of 12. RIDICULOUS.

Just before the completely random POV draw.."spicy v" tells us all she knows is "Thai and Jed can't be picked to play in it"(since it would be her worse case scenario)..and so of course it was certain they would be picked in that oh so "random draw". PATHETIC. They just continue to insult the intelligence of viewers, especially jarring for those with solid understanding of probabilities. "It's nutz" said Rohan. No, not nutz, just stupidly FIXED.

Another lying "Canada vote" to allow a specifically chosen havenot member to pig out on whatever food they want.

Imagine allowing a mess like "spicy V" threaten you to the point where you're shyte scared of using the Veto. But that's how bad Jed and Thai have played this game. Also, the moment pet-freak Bethy's name was thrown into the mix as the replacement nom, immediately came the big voice over the tannoy with the announcement: "Houseguests, 1 HOUR until the POV ceremony." EMBARRASSING.

TBC..

[Captain.Remy]

I can't even believe Victoria managed to pull out this move and scare the two big dudes of the house by threatening them lmao :skull: Can't blame her, she tried it and it's working. She has balls, let's admit that.
It's actually an entertaining week and I really didn't see Victoria going at it this hard so early. But tbh it's a nice change of pace because otherwise we would have been stuck with a boring HoH who doesn't want to make moves too early in the game.
Victoria probably will be evicted very soon, but at least she served some drama.

This house is a mess and I'm living for it, especially after the boring season that was BB22.

[Mandie]

I'm quite enjoying this season. There is potential for a lot of drama after the fallout from this. It is kind of nice seeing one group not dominating.

I will admit I don't want to see Ty go...the view is too nice :lovedup:

I honestly don't see how you can say there's anything "ballsy" about her. Any fool can play as stupidly as she has(with intent or not) but the simple fact is instead of going directly after males, or at least being honest with them about her intentions, she's hiding behind some nonsensical bull to rid the house of one of her own(for whatever perverse pleasure her pea brain is looking to derive from it) and pull off a "blindside" that the whole house is already aware of. I also doubt that this type of clownery from one POC to mock another is purely coincidental..

So given that she's doing good production work, and supposedly giving "good tv", any further help and protection she receives throughout the game(even being gifted that silly twist/secret power they're sitting on) can't be dismissed lightly. But let's see if when it comes to the crunch and saviour is between her and Bethy.. which way the pigs jump them. It's heavy odds-on they'll toss her away like garbage. As will this newly formed "oddball" alliance she remains rock-bottom of.

[Pro Sniper]

Cox desperate to talk up the females again. "The women are killing it" she proudly and absurdly said. The 2 HOH's they been in charge of has seen them target a house leper and now one of their own. Anything to shy away from going directly after the males again. PISS WEAK.

With pet-fav mullet man "winning" that joke HOH comp, you could see he's either been allowed to practice for days, or the pace of his disc was remote controlled.

[Oliver_W]

Awh I'm so glad Latoya was evicted. Not because she'd gotten boring and annoying, but because someone finally played a big game move!

Vic telling Jed she'd put Ty on the block if he used the POV was a masterstroke.

I just hope she stays for a nice long time, and gets rid of the crappy Pretty Boys mk2

[NICKP]

I wish Breydon would talk a bit more

[Oliver_W]

I also doubt that this type of clownery from one POC to mock another is purely coincidental..


Why make it a "POC" thing? Normal people don't think of themselves and others in terms like that.

[Pro Sniper]

Your mistake is thinking production are normal people. History tells us that is far from true with this show. Granted, the US version is much more brazen with their biases, but Canada is far from balanced. It's one thing to cast more diverse group..and another to back that entire group in equal measure.

[Oliver_W]

I wish Breydon would talk a bit more
The only thing I want Breydon to say is "oh no I've been evicted before Jury!"

How are they not being treated equally :shrug: If Victoria thought getting rid of Latoya was best for her game, should someone have stepped in and said "due to the amount of melanin in Latoya's skin, evict someone else" ?

[Pro Sniper]

It's not the "choice"..but more the zeal in which it was carried out. Production "games" begin with evaluation of cast..

[Pro Sniper]

Just when you thought it was impossible for "Spicy V" to appear any more ridiculous.. she goes and proves you wrong. Seen all week baiting the opposition when having the comfort of power..and then nauseatingly crawling up their holes the moment she's lost it. PATHETIC.

Talking of PATHETIC, TnT took a break from their 'do nothing' position to crawl to HOH room and reveal to Kief "the house is split". Where would he be without nugget pieces of info like that? Those 2 fools should've brought their knitting kits in. Another pair of useless wind blowing floaters who do nothing but ensure the boundaries of the game are never stretched.

Beth once again seen joyously reveling in the role of being the meat in-between 2 horny males, happy to encourage postshow phonecalls from Bang Bros.

[Pro Sniper]

Tina desperate to make "Tina&Tera" a thing. "Today on Tina&Tera, it's now day 25 and we're still doing our best impression of unwanted/unused furniture"

The "random" POV draw was yet again another farce. Mullet made clear his wishes "give me Thai, give me Jed, give me Beth"..and as if by magic..2 of those bitches popped straight out. Not to make it too absurd, they decided they best not have ALL 3...so instead of that, they went a silly notch down and had the reject standby HG pick out his potential "showmance" partner. PATHETIC.

Can't wait to see what laughable bull they've cooked up with this incoming "invisible HOH" reign..

[Pro Sniper]

https://thumbs.gfycat.com/BothImpureDungenesscrab-size_restricted.gif

[Oliver_W]

Kief is pretty dumb for thinking it's too late for him to "change allegiances" - everyone sees him as a floater, none of the other HGs think of him as working with Jed, Ty, and Beth. They're seen as a trio, and clearly think next to nothing of Kief - they already basically talk about him as a Jury Vote and nothing else.

I hope Jed and/or Ty go next. They're just so horrible and grimy. I don't necessarily fault Kief for still crawling up their ass when they voted for him to go, they had to vote for someone, but it just goes to show how misplaced his loyalty is.

It's a shame Kyle basically just rolled over and took the L. Isn't he a superfan? I'm glad Austin stayed over him though, and I'm also glad Rohan took himself off the block.

Vic's probably my favourite at this point. She played a hell of a game last week, nailing the Blindside last week AND keeping herself off the block in the following week. She's doing good.

[Pro Sniper]

People are clearly reading Mr mullet man all wrong. This belief that he's soooooo "loyal"/"true friend" is complete crap. He's one of the biggest snakes the game has ever seen. When he was up against LT he was waddling around pretending to be all sad, at the same time as trying to contain a smile/laugh that was mocking his own alliance. Not only did he know he was as safe as houses, he also knew the votes that kept him in the game were not given to save him, but rather to destroy his opposition. If changing allegiances would've helped him improve his position he'd have done it in the blink of an eye..but the simple fact is it wouldn't have. Not only would he be known to Thai, Beth and Jed as a complete rat who jumps ship at the slightest wobble, scurrying over to the other side would only have seen him slapped to the bottom of their ranks(much like the clueless spicy V) By staying "loyal to the soil" he retains 3 people who will never go after him. And being closely aligned with the useless floating pair that is TnT, he has no worries there..nor from the rudderless "spicy v". So his immediate threat was only ever 4 players....which he ensured was cut to 3 during his HOH reign. So make no mistake about it, "Captain Kief" is playing the numbers for nobody but ME-MYSELF&I. Which is fine since that's what the game is mostly about, but it becomes truly sickening when it's under the guise of "loyalty" or whatever other bull these type of liars are peddling.

Of course it just had to be one of their pet-favs. And let's be clear, that's why the crappy comp used to gift the winner all this "secret" rubbish was as good as a blind bastard. They had them all standing there "competing"..wasting their god damn time counting stupid falling rocks when it's clear it didn't matter a jot which one got closest to the actual figure, as they'd already decided whatever number(no matter how erroneous) their pet-freak puppet had dialed in, that was the number the pigs would be pretending it to be. PATHETIC. They're so hellbent on getting all their pets to jury they simply refuse to let power be won fair&square. RIDICULOUS.

[Oliver_W]

When a cash prize is involved, there's going to be oversight into what they're doing. Production can't just arbitarily decide to say Vic was the winner regardless of how many rocks fell.

I thought we sorted that earlier?

"There's different regulations for different programs. While 'Game shows' are bound to abide by the rules of contest, BigBrother is defined/classed as 'entertainment show'..which allows the runners to do whatever the **** they want, which obviously includes predetermining outcomes."

From the highly convenient POV picks to similar blind bastard comp winners..and now these non-skilled, non-definitive("take our word for it") HOH comps, only the greatly naive could believe they ain't protecting favs and forcing narratives. And now we know who(supposedly) won the veto, yet another boring week is all set to roll by..

[Oliver_W]

Then why would they constantly meddle to save Kief? He's not entertaining, and he's not hot. The guff about how he's "representing his community" can only mean so much.

And tbh I'd rather the meddling be in favour of someone like Vic, than the ghastly interchangeable bores Ty and Jed...

[Pro Sniper]

Sarah Hanlon was hardly hot or entertaining..and yet look how they pandered to her and whipped a "twist" out their ass to make sure she won the season. Being a "superfan" obviously goes a long way when it comes to overall protection, bias edit and potential push FTW. Even if they won't go all the way with "Captain Kief", from his PROUD indigenous background to his ridiculous mullet..they've obviously deemed him worthy enough "character" to give plenty of backing to. He reminds me of human version of Dastardly's sidekick Muttley.

[Mandie]

I hate it when people get nominated and get angry. Hurt, upset, etc sure but why are you so above everyone that no one should dare say your name? Vic may not be my favourite but she's doing some great moves.

[Pro Sniper]

"You can turn around for a few secs and get a slop pass" Vic: Sure, why not when I know I can't possibly lose this rigged bull. They even tried to have us believe tragic Tera "unfortunately" kicked herself out of a winning position by adding a "lucky 11" onto her total - which resulted in absurd and unlikely "tie". RIDICULOUS. And after being gifted another fake win, "spicy v" was running around the house bigging herself up as "one of the greatest players ever".. with mullet man more than happy to humour the fool by showering her with preposterous praise and fake flattery, which the dummy was unsurprisingly lapping up like it was being given with complete sincerity. EMBARRASSING.

Another joke ep and another failure of a twist/power..which only brought further shame to the female ranks. For even when one is gifted anonymous power to fire the big shot at the dominant males..that "scary" option is quickly swerved in favour of driving another female out. PATHETIC.

"Spicy V"(+ ALL the females) contemplating sticking Thai&Jed on block..

It was the perfect opportunity to put the two big dudes on the block. But at the same time they kind of protect her right now? I think Austin and Breyden was a good choice too because it makes sense to split a duo up and everybody would have put them up anyway.
Next week whoever wins the HoH needs to go after Beth or Tina because they're useless and until now they were the necessary floaters. But now they need to go if they don't play harder.

Victoria makes me laugh, she's a mix of crazy, delusional and fun. She might actually go very far if she manages to not get busted for this week's HoH.

[Oliver_W]

Vic's like a version of Cassandra who can actually win comps :joker:

I wish she'd have put "The Boys" up, they're like a soulless version of the Pretty Boys from BBCan7. If the POV is used on one of them I hope the replacement is Jed or Ty...

Rohan won the POV and kept noms the same.

She was busted almost immediately. Especially when she made herself a have-not and revealed later that she has the slop pass. Almost everyone knows that she was this week's HOH.

Also:

Tychon, Jedson and Beth have said that if she is ever nominated, they have to get her out immediately.

Why is she being so stupid? No-one else is particularly after her, Ty, Jed, and Beth are the only ones who are aiming for her right now.

She's probably my favourite player ATM but I wish she'd get it together lol, hope she wins the next HOH

[Calderyon]

She is fully playing for Ted, cause she has always from the beginning of the game wanted to be in an alliance with them.

Also Tina and Tera do not trust her with info anymore.

Breydon won't like her when he finds out she was HOH that him and his friend up and basically betrayed their alliance. Rohan does not like her. The Trouple (not my invention) wants her out because they deem her unpredictable and dangerous.

Basically almost everyone would not care if she left.

Only Kiefer somewhat likes her.

[Mandie]

I think her plan was solid had it been executed better. I really don't understand why Ro didn't use the POV...he's already semi alone (if you don't put him with Austin and Breydon). It's not like he would have put blood on his hands had he used it, and he didn't gain anything by not??? Odd move

I will say, overall I kind of like the Invisible HOH. It could help in a season where a huge group is picking people off one by one

[Pro Sniper]

Another ridiculous POV draw. "Let's see who the "secret HOH" has drawn "HOURS earlier".. oh look she's only gone and picked her own bastard chip out. EMBARRASSING. It's like they're TRYING to outdo themselves in absurdity, completely giving up on even trying to display any form of integrity, in favour of simply trolling the viewers as hard as they can. And do you see what happens when there's an element of skill brought into a comp? "Spicy V" unsurprisingly left trailing cold.

Oh okay, I've not been watching the feeds or following tweets or anything, so I wasn't aware of anything not on the show itself.

[Oliver_W]

I just realised - today is April Fools! Maybe the eviction will be a fake one ... possible, as Vic is possible to run for the next HOH! Obviously that's so she remains invisible unless she chooses to disclose, but a fake HOH ending with an April Fools fake eviction could be interesting.

The situation already reminds me of Kelsey and Raul from BBCAN4 - girl with gender-neutral name on the block with best friend who's a gay guy ... ending in a noneviction?

[Pro Sniper]

Another boring AF ep. Everything so cemented they're having to fill the ep up with crappy food fights. And more let offs for the "have-nots". Austin broke the rules and stuffed her precious face just because she couldn't handle being nommed, and instead of punishing her and/or the entire house, they come up with some crap to gift them a bloody feast. PATHETIC. But that's how piss weak the game is these days.

The least said about BangBro Beth and her cringey "rain kiss"(with her 2nd choice) the better.

Cox didn't even ask Austin about Vic's invisible HOH "reveal" as it was obvious the entire house knew from the jump who it was, but they had her and a couple of others pretend they were completely "in the dark", just to try and cover up how much of an epic FAILURE this past week and their invisible "twist" was. RIDICULOUS.

And any hope of a non-rigged week was taken off the table the moment we seen the HOH comp was yet another non-skilled, easy answer question one(made all the easier for the pet-freaks who are told the answers beforehand) Did you see BangBro Bethy celebrating long before she'd even won it? She couldn't contain that big stupid grin on her face, annoyingly giddy over what she knew was imminent. Coz of course that is type of certainty that these type of bastard comps bring...which is exactly why production love them and use them so much. Another rotten and monotonous reign ahead with another week of plain sailing for all their pet-favs.

[Oliver_W]

I don't really have anything to say for this week. All of the unanimous votes get a bit boring. Putting up Breydon and Austin was a wasted HOH really.

[Pro Sniper]

Did you hear Bethy getting advice at the end of her HOH letter: "get yourself a spicy chicken".. mocking and making a complete fool of "spicy" while she's present. Not that anyone should feel any sympathy for that fool, given the way she cowardly took out LT, before following up with another piss weak, anti-female move. But see how it just runs through the same cycle? That moron chased down 2 females during her reign and now she's about to suffer the same fate from another anti-female trashcan. It's just a cycle that relentlessy churns season after season. No surprise to see Bang-Bro Bethy wearing the HOH like a baggy clown outfit.. of course her production pals did their best to give her one of those pathetic "mastermind" edits. EMBARRASSING. Pipsqueak Paras 2.0. And like her, she's started talking drivel and cackling to the cams in similar fashion. Notice just how set in stone everything already appears to be? Bethy having a good old laugh with Ro about who her real target is. But what IF she gets picked for POV(the magic bag delivers great convenience so many other times, so Y not this time?) and goes on to win it? Or Thai and/or Jed get picked and go on to win it so as not to use it? Skipping possibilities and probabilities is a privilege that only grade A pet-freaks can arrogantly run with.. it's clear BangBro Bethy is one of them. Oh and just like pipsqueak Paras, she just "knows" she's making the end. The little liar supposedly "feels it in her bones"..

[Pro Sniper]

The magic POV draw was indeed predictably kind to pet-freak Bethy. The only player competing who wouldn't be using it was Thai. And even though the comp wasn't a blind bastard, it might as well have been, given how they added the "memory" aspect on top of it. This was so if Thai completed first they could just lie on the memory part. PATHETIC. And since production couldn't help but tip off their former pet, we were treated to some fake ass inauthentic shocked reactions from her during her supposed "blindside". RIDICULOUS.

[Captain.Remy]

Even though I understand the idea of getting rid of a threat, I still would have loved if Beth went after floters like Tina or Tera who bring NOTHING to the game.
In the end, the victory will be even better knowing you went to the end with the best and beat the best. But I get it. She will NEVER cole between the two dudes anyway, she knows she's out sooner or later and they won't protect her.
Victoria is actually a good asset to all of them while Tina and Tera are sitting there mouth shut all day long.

[Pro Sniper]

Another highly predictable, boring DE. Spicy V sounding like a poor apologist for pathetic Production. "It's so unscripted".."Everything that happens is so real".. "Nothing is rigged" etc.. all that weird and unprompted answer did was bring more attention to the fact the game IS controlled and rigged to the point of stupidity. And Prodction's desperation to have such nonsense preached by one of their outgoing puppets only drew more attention to that sad fact. Even Cox was cringing at the way she spat that out.

To control another HOH, we had another garbage easy "answer questions" one, which of course one of the lead pet-freaks "won" again by getting "perfect score" on. PATHETIC. And after being "randomly" picked for the POV..we see pet-freak Thai obliterate the comp like he'd been given the bastard blueprint..

so go figure.

[Pro Sniper]

Jed on himself and his pathetic crew coasting through the rigged double: "You couldn't even write that in a movie" .. No serious production team would ever dare write such weak trash, that's for damn sure,, but this production team is miles away from anything serious. They clearly couldn't care less about any form of fair and balanced game. All these fools appear to get off on is handpicking certain players who they decide are worthy of making the end/winning the game outright..and then setting about gifting them a clear path through a series of rigs.

BangBro Bethy is grinning away in her fav room asking "how they are still there?".. "It's crazy" she said. NO, it's neither puzzling nor crazy. It's simply the result of what happens when production allow you the privilege of coasting under their rotten wings. But here we see the desperation to hype her game status, "there's only room for 1 bad bitch in this game..and I'M it". EMBARRASSING. Sad bitch is much more like it. Delusional Kiefer looked like he actually believed he wouldn't be getting clowned for stating they're "the best alliance that's ever played this game"..

BangBro Bethy was afforded another "mastermind" cam talk segment, desperate to sell the fanciful notion that she knows exactly what she's doing, when in reality her only dream/gameplan was to get creamed and carried inside a male sammich.

"Ballpit Blitz" may as well have been named "Ballpit Fix"..unsurprisingly it was nothing but a tag-team exercise that was grossly weighted in favour of the 3 pet-freaks. Terra was given another "poor me" edit..and even though they ensured she couldn't win here, she still has one final chance to at least "have her moment" and magically save herself in the upcoming POV comp. And with pet-freak Jed shown hinting that he has "bigger plans"(similar to what his trashy gf was up to with her cowardice backdoor move) it should never come as any surprise if&when things again fall so neatly into place..

[Pro Sniper]

Production making fool of "blueline" early on in the edit, having her confidently state she won't be the boot..

Terrable thinks BangBro Bethy is playing a "stellar game". EMBARRASSING. On a par with those desperate "mastermind" cam talks she has. And now they have her smirking into cams, thinking that being carried in a male sammich(with added layers of production help) picking off females all game long..before potentially being "cutthroat" at the death to either/both players she's shamelessly opened her legs to, somehow makes her game "stellar" and win deserving. The girl is a tragic mess.

The pathetic POV "random" draw was back and it ended as predictably as all the others> in favour of all pet-freaks. Of course there's many times when the draw is inconsequential..and this would prove one of those times as we see the comp is designed for pre-determined winner/s. The beneficiary here being the dummy act that is TnT ..who unsurprisingly navigated through "rounds" to find themselves in a head2head. With no pet-freaks in any danger, we can see the times when production are happy enough to throw the odd bone to the second-stringers. And given Tina's game animation matches that of a tortoise, they're probably happy with how it settled.

A silly hidenseek game was introduced to determine which sole HG would be sleeping in the ball pit(where a "secret power" is at any moment likely to be stumbled upon) .. and after the convenient "winners" were of course 2 rotten "sauce" members..they tried to embarrassingly cover it as a "prank". DESPERATE.

[Pro Sniper]

More cringey fake crying from the pet-freaks. "You had to do it, "big dog", you had to do it" said "Captain Kief" .. Q the remarkable, nonsensical turnaround..

Pet-freak Thai got to lead the the FORCED "diversity message".

Pet-freak Jed is all of a sudden "having doubts" over booting his fellow freak. Of course they never aired the fact that these "doubts" started creeping in after "Captain Kief" was crying like a big baby to his production pals, threatening to self-evict his entitled ass. "Mastermind" Bethy has been shown stating her need for Kiefer's removal ASAP, Thai also told him in this very ep that it's not good for him personally since he would take Jed over him..30secs later Thai&Jed have come to a conclusion that it is in fact best to keep chubbs..as BangBro Bethy looks on in concern..

https://thumbs.gfycat.com/ReadySmallDesertpupfish-size_restricted.gif

like a silly lost puppy who deep down knows those guys are simply using her as a plaything. Of course we shouldn't be at all surprised to see the silly bitch in the next ep saying she's the one who drove this decision.

Kiefer embarrassingly in the DR pretending that him "campaigning his ass off" was what brought about this ludicrous U-turn. The sad fact is this had production's paw prints all over it. They either put the kibosh on "Captain Kief" getting the boot, or it was just a whole load of nonsense(much like the "teams" smokescreen introduced at the beginning) cooked up by production. For with all the pet-freaks safe again, 1 of 3 second-stringers guaranteed going at the end of another uneventful week, it's quite possible they were dreading piecing together enough content to fill it...and after witnessing non-entity Breydon standing in front of a mirror all day pouting lip gloss - Terra wandering around like a demented rottweiler - and Tina lazing about like an engineless jumbo jet.. THIS has most likely panicked them into concocting this "dramatic" rot.

BangBro Bethy was fuming that the boys told chubbs they'd be keeping him.. without her presence. She ridiculously tried to take credit for "coaching" them in doing "sooooooooooo much" .. and now she's pissed that they're making her standout like the powerless fool she is. She laughably suggested she might "go against the boys" in the vote. If production ever plan on gifting her another HOH reign they should make it compulsory for her to wear jumbo sized clown shoes the entire time.

Another easy "answer question" comp so they could control where it went. Since ANOTHER week of "Sauce" would've been too much even for production, we got the predictable switch of power that went the way of Terrable(who now has more wins to her name than BangBro Bethy) LMFAO Bethy's win conditions are dropping quicker than her panties did for Thai& Jed..

Let's see how next week's absurd "fake eviction" plays out..little doubt this shyte has been dreamed up for the benefit of pet-freak/s again. PATHETIC. And let me be clear about this, if Terra's reign ends and ALL 3 members of the sickening "Sauce" manage to remain in the game as a result of this silly bastard "twist", I'll immediately drop the season and won't watch another episode. I fully intended to see it through to the end..BUT if they dare go down such a DESPERATE, DESPERATE, DESPERATE path, my tolerance will have finally been pushed beyond its limit, which will prompt me to immediately wash my hands of it.

[Captain.Remy]

I'm actually living for Kiefer being saved :joker: Tina was such a kind lady but really didn't do much.
Tera being HoH makes sense with my fantasy but I hope the evictee at the end of the week is one of the boys. It has to be. The only way would be to have the two of them compete in that head to head competition. Probably won't happen and Breydon would be evicted somehow.

[Oliver_W]

I'm pretty much done with this crappy season. The only likeable one left is Tera, and her days are pretty much numbers beyond her HOH.

Kieffer and the Trio are so grimy, watching them makes me wanna scrub my skin with an iron mesh until there's nothing left.

[Oliver_W]

Just how dumb is Tera to evict Kief, Breydon and Ty have a final two, so the only way Tera can possibly progress is by winning the final HOH.

That said, she has as much chance as anyone else, as they all have three comp wins!

She'd be the best winner out of everyone left, she's certainly the most likeable. The way Breydon talks with stretching his words out really pisses me off :joker: and Ty's face is odd, he looks a bit "uncanny valley" and not real.

[Jack_]

This season was weird in the sense that it's a good one on paper and I enjoyed watching it, but I couldn't care less about any of these people?

I haven't rooted for or against anyone, I only really liked Josh and Julie and they left early :shrug:

Soz for the lack of title updates but I just binged 20 eps in two days so x

I haven't rooted for or against anyone, I only really liked Josh and Julie and they left early :shrug:

I felt basically the same :joker: well I didn't like Julie, but yeah, it was hard to really care either way about any of them.

I stopped watching the finale when Tychon won HoH part two, Tera was the only worthy winner left so I didn't care about the other two...

[Captain.Remy]

It was a really good season, a lot of turns, ups and downs and how playful they were. I was rooting for Tera but I'm not mad at a Tychon win. He did good enough to be a nice winner.
The biggest robbery of the night was Victoria not winning Canada's favorite houseguest...

[Oliver_W]

Out of the three I think Ty was the worst winner tbh. He was a bit of a floater. At least Breydon had a decent social game, Ty didn't bother socialising with anyone outside of his trio until he had to...

[JerseyWins]

Loved Ty and the Sunsetters. Really glad he won :clap1:

I was so behind on this season and watching feeds-free and like 90%+ spoilers free. And I gotta say it was a good if not GREAT season in a totally different experience for me (which may have helped, definitely kept me shocked on a lot of results and things going on in the game).

Ranking for old times sake

1. Ty
2. Kiefer
3. Latoya
4. Spicy V :joker:
5. Jedson
6. Beth
7. Tera
8. Rohan
9. Breydon
10. Kyle
11. Austin
12. Tina
13. Josh
14. Julie

Oh yeah, why the heck did they go down to only 14 on the cast? It worked tho
