And so we move into the final straight, citizens, with a DOUBLE Eviction night upon us
In case you don't know, this episode sees the previous Power of Veto, the meeting and the first celebrity out the door. Then it's straight down to business shortly afterwards as it's an HoH competition, Veto and Eviction where the 2nd housemates will get their marching orders. The final five will be the finalists for this year's CBB USA.
Final five order of play will be covered in the next post, which will be the finale post for this series.
So without further ado, let us all find out who were the unlucky two to take the walk to Julie and we pick up the action after Tom has nominated Ricky and Natalie.
Sour faces all round on one side of the house with Ricky and Natalie in the customary "how dare he nominate me" mode, meanwhile Tom is pondering the scenarios that could arise should he or one of his alliance members in Dina, Tamar or Kandi win the Veto. Count Dina out right away, she's floating to the end. Back to matters, and it looks like Operation Backdoor Lolo should this side of the house wins Veto.
On the other side of the house, everyone is determined to win the Veto but the situation is looking pretty grim for them, but top marks for determination I suppose.
Veto picks and competition
Tom, Natalie and Ricky will play automatically, and chosen by random draw to play will be Tamar, Dina and Kandi. Oh well, Lolo's goose and plans are effectively cooked I would say, miracle needed and Lolo knows it.
This competition is called Color Blast, and here is how it works. Memory game with the players having to memorise a random order of colours played in a sequence and then they have to answer a question on said sequence by pressing the colour button or buttons in front of them. If they are incorrect then they will be splattered with a lot of paint and eliminated from the competition.
Order of elimination:
Round 1 - Ricky
Round 2 - Tamar and Kandi
Round 3 - Natalie and Dina
Tom wins the Power of Veto, and made Ricky his immediate target. Tom is thinking Ricky is running things on the other side of the house, another wrong guess on his part. He then insists Kandi vote out Tom, effectively blackmailing her with the alternative that if she did not agree to this he would take down Natalie and put up Tamar as a replacement. Oh boy, naturally that went down like a lead balloon with Kandi, and Kandi went storming to Tamar and reported this. Hope Tom has batoned down the hatches as here comes Hurricane Tamar making landfall
Here she comes, and as usual the screaming starts right away. She is off on one with him, and doesn't listen to a word he says. Tom then decides 'no more revealing plans' not even to us out here. Yeah right whatever, Tom. Shortly afterwards while he is by himself in the HoH room, Tom reveals there is a surprise coming in the Veto meeting. So much for his little secrets.
Veto meeting
Tom decides to use the Veto and he saves RICKY, and puts Lolo on the block in his place. So we are definitely going to lose one of the so called mean girls in this first eviction
Off we go...
Eviction #1
Ricky will only vote if there is a tie, and Natalie and Lolo are not allowed to vote
To cut a long story short, the rest of them as in Ricky, Dina, Kandi and Tamar voted out Natalie
Evicted by a vote of 4-0 is NATALIE. Very short interview with her as there is a lot to get through tonight, and she says she's annoyed she didn't get the HoH or Veto this week to keep her in.
No time to waste, as we have the final Breaking News twist of the season as Julie announces that there will be a Save Yourself competition, in which the winner will be immune from the second eviction of the night. But there is a catch as said winner will NOT be allowed to compete in the HoH competition.
Safety Competition
This competition is called Living Art and basically it's just a mass scramble from everyone to count the number of people in the house disguised as art within a 90 second time limit. That's all there is to it, and the houseguest who gets the answer spot on or near enough is safe from the next eviction, but cannot play in the HoH competition.
Lots of scrambling about ensues, and eventually the answer is revealed as 22 and Tamar is closest with 19, thereby saving herself from the next eviction but putting her out of the HoH competition
HoH competition
Slightly different competition now as the houseguests have to determine how many of the living art guests have left the house, and Tom is not eligible to play as outgoing HoH and Tamar is out of this one as well. Very short competition, and we have our next HoH in LOLO who correctly guessed 7 living art guests remained. Julie announces Lolo will make her nominations shortly.
Lolo nominates TOM, for being a good competition player and, after taking so long for nominating and being threatened to be stripped of the HoH by Julie, Lolo nominates KANDI.
Veto competition
No need for picks in this one as there are 6 houseguests left, so everyone is playing. This competition is a True or False, and it's called Cousins. This involves the houseguests watching a short snippet of a sitcom involving two houseguests from last year in Ross and Meta and Julie will ask them questions once the snippet is done. Whoever scores highest will win the Veto.
The first three rounds finish all square. Round 4 sees Dina, Tamar, Tom and Kandi slip up. Round 5, Lolo and Dina slip up. Round 6 sees Tom, Dina, Lola and Ricky slip up. In the end there is a tie between Ricky and Tamar in which they had to guess the number of seconds the sitcom ran for, and TAMAR ends up getting the closest and she wins the Veto.
Veto meeting
Tamar decides NOT to use the Veto, so Tom or Kandi will be leaving in the second eviction
Eviction
Tom and Kandi are not allowed to vote, and neither is HoH Lola as there are an even number of houseguests
Dina, Tamar and Ricky all voted out Tom, and he leaves the house
In his interview with Julie, he says he is very grateful for this opportunity and in a little bit of surprise says he is rooting for Lolo to win the series.
Once his interview is done, Julie goes back to the house and explains to them how things will work heading to finale night
- Final 5 HoH - Lolo ineligible to play as outgoing HoH
- Veto - Everyone will play
- 5th place evicted
- Final 4 HoH
- Double eviction where the HoH has to get rid of 2 housemates, and then take the remaining houseguest to the final 2
To be concluded in the Finale episode, as I will be skipping over the season recap episode
Final thoughts
And so here we are at the final 5, and not been a bad series overall I would say. One more post to come and then it's a short hiatus before this recapper returns in March for the longer slog of Big Brother Canada which run nicely all the way through to late spring/early summer. Anyone but Dina to win this series, as Dina has just floated through doing nothing. Tamar and Lolo have brought the energy and some would say madness, Ricky has brought the finkiness, heck even Kandi has emerged as a contender.
