Big Brother Canada 2020 - Episode 2 - Launch pt.2 and Eviction

Greetings, citizens, as we head into the concluding part of the launch

In case you missed it on the way in, Minh-Ly won the first comp of the season when she successfully saved her car from falling and crashing, and now it's up Chris, Suzanne or Nico to win the mental comp as whoever wins this one will join Minh-Ly in being safe

We pick episode 2 up with Arisa recapping the house action from the previous episode, and then she advises there is something coming up in this current episode, that has never happened before in Big Brother Canada

If you need to refresh about the houseguests, their bios can be found in the episode 1 post....

From the looks of things, Nico is already feeling sad and Suzanne is cool on the surface, but very scared inside.

Minh-Ly has such a great personality, but feel she could overplay down the line. I know already what some would say as in 'If she goes at any point, this season instantly gets very boring' or words to that effect.

Chris seems very confident about winning the mental comp, especially with his job title. Brain Transformation Specialist, in case you missed it

Whoever thought the suit John Luke is wearing looks smart...Jeez, he looks like an accident in a paintworks factory

Just when people thought it would be Michael and Madeline for the showmance, now it seems there is a spark between her and resident brain guy Chris

Back to Minh-Ly and she strikes up a conversation with Jamar, some real chemistry there. Could these two be a contender for a showmance, I wonder. Seems likely, but could that work against Minh's popularity down the line. Watch that space I would say.

Nico's complaining about not feeling too good, and saying how tough things are feeling already.Sticking within the Be Kind protocol, what did he think he was signing up for when he signed up for this show?

Safety comp 2

We see Chris meditating several times before this challenge actually starts, can't see this guy lasting too long as this brain stuff could get annoying for them if he keeps jibber jabbering about it.

This next competition is called Sold Separately and Angie is hosting

It is a visual/true or false competition where some of the houseguests are dressed up as figures as in,

John Luke as Floater 
Madeline & Micheal as Showmancers
Vanessa as Bitter Juror
Kyle as Comp Beast 

Reminder this is only Nico, Chris and Suzanne playing as the remaining 3 bottom of the vote

To cut a long story short, Chris won and will be safe from the first eviction, meaning Nico and Suzanne will be on the block and facing their fellow houseguests vote

Over to Suzanne and Nico to start their campaigning to stay in, and immediately Jamar goes to comfort Suzanne after he sees her crying, and tells her he will make sure he is ok.

Shortly afterwards, Suzanne officially kicks into motion for her campaigning roping in Carol and Brooke. She also looked to bring in Sheldon, Kyle and Vanessa, and it should be noted Sheldon did show great interest in joining this particular group.

Back to Minh-Ly, and we see a big blow up between her and Kyle as Kyle was cheesed off with her attitude. What we didn't see was her asking for people to be quiet in the bedroom when others are sleeping. A little trivial, but already she is winding some up but she does need to be careful.

Rianne, John Luke, Michael and Madeline agreed on a 4 person alliance called the Evictors. Heard better but it will do for now. Meanwhile, Minh-Ly and Nico had a little chat about trying to save him. The guy already seems defeated to going, this is going to take some major work. Minh-Ly then planted the seed that Suzanne was the bigger threat. Then in her own mind to make things 'interesting', Minh-Ly goes straight to Carol, Vanessa, Hira and Sheldon for a keep Nico in pitch. 

Could that have been a mistake on Minh's part, as Carol and Vanessa went straight to Suzanne, and needless to say Suzanne didn't take it to well and effectively put a bullseye on Minh's back

Self - eviction

Now to the part which caused split opinion given the current discussions about mental health both here and over there in Canada. Nico has complained about not feeling well, and has already packed resigning himself to the first exit. He said there was just no fight in him, and went to the diary room to talk to someone backstage. After a while, one of the Executive producers called the remaining houseguests to the living area, where they were told Nico had self-evicted, and won't be coming back.

In simple terms, the eviction was cancelled and Suzanne was safe for at least another week

On one hand it could be debated that if Nico knew what he was signing up for when he applied, and he wasted the chance for someone else to go in there who actually wanted to be there.

On the other hand, best leave now for your own peace of mind and not risk any permanent damage. Can't be easy when you are told Canada hates you out loud, this is one of the problems with giving houseguests or housemates outside information like mean tweets or poll results like this. Not everyone has thick skin and can take it. UK Big Brother absolutely revelled in giving housemates outside information, especially in the final years in the Five era.

Anyways sermon over, and onto

HoH competition

Basketball themed and it's basically whoever gets the highest scored basket will be the new HoH. As the show ends, Minh and Jamar are highest scorers with 24.......and that's a wrap for this episode with the winner being revealed in episode 3
