Big Brother Canada 2021 - Episode 7 - Power of Veto

Good day, citizens, as we roll into another episode with Victoria firmly in charge, and Latoya and Kiefer taking up residence so far on the block with another Veto looming.

As we found out in the last episode, this fireball of energy persona from Victoria is just that and that she is here to play and WIN. You go, girl. The Sunsetters are in some pretty deep shit, while the new alliance of the Oddballs (Austin, Victoria and Breydon) are flourishing.

Only 6 episodes in, and this is already shaping up to be better than recent series from North America....Let the games continue, this is indeed last houseguest standing with the teams now no more.

Tonight

It's getting extra spicy in the house with conflict aplenty, with Latoya and Kiefer making their pitches to stay. This really is a mad scramble, way to go Josh. Think they are going to regret evicting you. Victoria continues to bob, duck and weave her way through her HoH reign. Will be sad when it comes to an end tomorrow

Latoya in full 'how dare you nominate me' mode, and you can just feel this house is going to past extra spicy to lava inducing.

Speaking of which, another house meeting.....And here we go, they are off again and it's exploding. And this only Episode 7. I really hope they don't burn each other out as we get further into this season.

Veto picks

Just a reminder, the HoH is ineligible to play in the Veto comp in the Canada version.

Participants: Latoya, Kiefer, Jed, Austin and Ty. Beth will be hosting

Veto comp

Crossword puzzle this week, and they have to scratch their respective scratch cards for the clues to terms used in this format of the show, and then find the right letters to slide into their respective puzzles to make the respective words. If there is an incorrect answer all letters will drop from the person's puzzle who gave the wrong answer.

Think that's about it.....

And the Veto winner for this week is JED, Latoya is so very happy thinking she is possibly safe. We'll soon find out. mwahahaha. Always said her overconfidence would be her downfall, and this could be that moment.

Skip the Slop

And Canada has picked Breydon to skip the slop and he can now allowed to get a takeaway as his prize. Moving swiftly on.....

May I just say, Victoria is playing this game very well. Making all the right moves to get Latoya out of there, as Latoya is a huge threat. I always thought Latoya would be tough to get out, but if she ends up going in the next episode, Victoria has made it look relatively simple.

And we have a cliffhanger to end tonight's show.....

Will Jed use the Veto, or will there be a twist in the tale as we head into the next eviction? Find out in Episode 8, coming soon to a blogspot near you.

Big Brother Canada 2021 - Episode 6 - HoH conclusion and Nominations

A brand new fresh week is upon us, and the fallout begins from Josh's eviction after all the landmines he left, and from now should get a lot messier

We may not have had a flip, and a unanimous vote may have sealed his exit, but boy oh boy did he shake things up

A house on edge and with the teams twist now over, it's time to rumble. It's every houseguest for themselves, it's time for the Royal Big Brother Canada Rumble. Last houseguest standing at all costs.

Right to the last minute to decide on Josh, all that dynamite just waiting to go off when he goes.....He's really got them rattled.

HoH conclusion

Recap:

True or False comp, called Dream to the Max

The houseguests will face questions in pairs, person to answer correctly gets to pick the next pair. Incorrect or neither answer means elimination.

Kiefer and Ty up first, Ty eliminated. Kiefer picks Tera and Breydon
Breydon eliminated, Tera picks Jed and Beth
Beth eliminated, Jed picks Tera and Victoria
Tera eliminated, Victoria picks Kiefer and Rohan

Conclusion:

Rohan eliminated, Kiefer picks Tina and Victoria
Tina eliminated, Victoria picks Kyle and Kiefer
Kyle eliminated, Kiefer picks Victoria and Jed
Jed eliminated, Victoria picks Kiefer and Latoya
Latoya eliminated, Kiefer and Victoria final two

Your winner and new HoH, VICTORIA!!!! She also wins a Lotto gift card

And now she has another task in naming the first Have Nots of the season

Rohan, Kyle, Breydon and Austin take the dishonours this week, and in the next scene all that energy we do associate with Victoria explodes as she does a happy dance around the bedroom. Love her positive look on life, something we could all do with with things the way they are in the world right now.

New alliance alert with Austin, Breydon and Victoria coming up with "Bossy Glossies"

Kiefer's lies catching up with him. Harking back to earlier he tried to railroad the flip and tried to throw Victoria under the bus and told her he mentioned her name. Unsurprisingly I think this could bite him on his you know where when nominations come round.

The scrambling continues with some Latoya and Victoria back and forth, Victoria has all but revealed the ball of energy Victoria is somewhat of a facade, and she is here to PLAY. Go for it, girl, this is what some of us fans have been screaming for for the last few series.

Wendy's date time, and Victoria has picked Breydon for her Wendy's date. Her boyfriend Matt delivers her video message along with her best friend Pat.

Nominations

Victoria nominates Latoya and Kiefer. No surprises there, going to be an interesting Veto ahead if I do say so myself. Sunsetters alliance in big trouble. Victoria not messing around here, very strong nominations

To be continued in Episode 7, when the Power of Veto will be up for grabs. Can Latoya or Kiefer save themselves? Tune in next time

Before I wrap this up, if you can spare a few bucks for ex UK housemate and Canada houseguest Nikki Grahame who is not in the best of health as her anorexia is really bad, please give generously right here (warning that link will contain images of Nikki which some will find distressing)

Good luck Nikki

Until next time, stay frosty, stay safe and keep on rocking.....

Big Brother Canada 2021 - Episode 5 - Eviction (Josh v Rohan)

Another week, another eviction upon us and it's not going terribly well for Team Defender with another of their number heading for the door tonight, as in Josh or Rohan

However, it really is difficult to call right now with the vote flipping back and forth on the live feeds

Outgoing HoH - Austin
Nominations pre Veto - Kiefer and Josh
Veto winner - Kiefer
Veto used - Yes
Nominations post Veto - Rohan and Josh

Teams as they stand at the moment

Defender: Kiefer (c), Latoya, Josh, Jedson, Rohan, Breydon

Destiny: Tina (c), Tychon, Tera, Kyle, Victoria, Austin, Beth

Tonight

We kick off straight after the Veto ceremony, where Kiefer used the Veto on himself forcing Austin to pick a replacement in Rohan.

If it were up to me, Rohan would be the one going. Latoya is again overconfident, this will be her downfall eventually. Seriously though, what has Rohan done to deserve staying. At least Josh is actually playing the game if you watch the live feeds, and definitely not a fan of the way some of them are treating him

Victoria has lost her slipper, and finds it in the Have Not ball pit. Meanwhile in the hot tub, Beth is STILL teasing her possible showmance with Jed or Ty. However she does seem to be leaning towards Jed. Poor Jed, his game is about to go up in smoke.

Next up, everyone's 'favourite' app in Tik Tok produces some messages from former houseguests including Mitch, Sarah, Sindy, Anthony and many others. They are handing out advice about playing the game. That's it. That's the segment. Oh and there is a hint about a power in the ball pit or at least it's insinuated.

Josh is getting a roasting from everyone in a meeting, and basically he's only the playing the game. But this could work to his advantage as a potential flip is teased in Rohan going.

Never a dull moment, at least in this season so far. If Josh stays here, it will be some pretty fancy footwork.

Eviction vote

Austin will only vote in the event of a tie

Pointless though, as it's a unanimous vote to get rid of Josh. And he was just starting to show potential as well, hopefully he's left some landmines behind now the so called easiest vote is gone.

So that's two for two out in terms of interesting houseguests, deprived of Julie v Latoya and also Josh playing the game it should be played. Please don't let this season fizzle out....

Arisa then announces to the house that the teams are done, finito, kaput, no more. Every houseguest for themselves.

HoH comp

As outgoing HoH, Austin is not eligible to play

True or False comp, called Dream to the Max

The houseguests will face questions in pairs, person to answer correctly gets to pick the next pair. Incorrect or neither answer means elimination.

Kiefer and Ty up first, Ty eliminated. Kiefer picks Tera and Brey
Breydon eliminated, Tera picks Jed and Beth
Beth eliminated, Jed picks Tera and Victoria
Tera eliminated, Victoria picks Kiefer and Rohan

To be continued in Episode 6......

Big Brother Canada 2021 - Episode 4 - Power of Veto

 When we last left our 13 houseguests:

  • Austin won HoH
  • Beth was intrigued to what a showmance with either Tychon or Jedson would bring
  • As a result of winning HoH, Austin chose Victoria to have a Wendy's meal with and then received a video message from home
  • Steal or Share came into play, as in milk and cookies for the week if they both shared, one steal meant luxury for the week for the stealers with a Veto advantage thrown in, while two steals meant slop all round
  • Austin nominated Kiefer and Josh
In case you missed it, the teams as they stand after Julie's eviction

Defender - Kiefer (c), Josh, Rohan, Latoya, Jedson, Breydon
Destiny - Tina (c), Tychon, Kyle, Beth, Victoria, Tera, Austin (Current HoH)

Tonight

Recap of Austin's nominations, and Josh thinks he was the easiest target to put on the chopping block. He says he wants to prove himself in the house, he dam well better and fast as I have him in the Digital Spy sweepstake for this season.

We have a new alliance in town called the Sunsetters, consisting of Jed, Ty, Beth, Latoya, Tina and Kiefer. Sunsetters came about with a sort reference to sending people off into the sunset, and Latoya claiming they were formed in Week 1.

As I said already, she is certainly going to be a tough nut to crack. Definitely up there as a contender, but can see her falling short.

Veto picks

Reminder, as usual in Big Brother Canada the HoH is not eligible to play in the Veto comp until at least when the house is whittled down to just five IIRC.

This week participants will be Josh, Kiefer, Tera, Tina and Victoria, with Beth hosting

Back to house business, and it's screams as usual from Victoria when the Have Not room is revealed to be a massive ball pit. God help whoever has to sleep in that ball pit when Have Nots officially start

Should be noted, Latoya's none too pleased with this pit. I dread to think what she will be like if she's selected as a Have Not.

Veto competition

Houseguests have to stack apples on their respective barrows, after negotiating a winding path. 5 apples per trip and return to their respective stations and stack the apples they have collected. If they feel they have the largest stack they can buzz in. If they drop their apples, then their stack is reset and they have to start over. Highest stack after 30 minutes wins the Veto.

And we have a winner, KIEFER has won Veto and will most likely to remove himself from the chopping block

Veto ceremony

No shock, Kiefer uses the Veto on himself

Austin has picked Rohan as the replacement, so it will be Rohan or Josh taking the honour of meeting Arisa at the end of the next episode

To be continued in Episode 5.....

Big Brother Canada 2021 - Episode 3 - HoH and Nominations

The Big Brother adventure so far:
  • Kiefer and Tina were named captains of Team Defender and Team Destiny respectively
  • Victoria won the first comp of the season, ensuring safety for Team Destiny and condemning Team Defender to the chopping block
  • Julie formed an alliance with Austin and Breydon calling themselves 'The Dolls'
  • After an anonymous Q and A to Team Defender, Julie was deemed the weakest player
  • Julie was evicted 11-2, leaving Team Defender down by one member
Tonight

We witness the first HoH comp of the season, and find out who the HoH will put on the block as somewhat normal service resumes, as in a normal week including HoH, Veto and Eviction

Well, it certainly has been a rollercoaster few days hasn't it. First Josh was going, and then he didn't. Then Julie painting the target on herself, and stopping a potential storyline with her against Latoya which could have had some mileage.

Been a solid and topical two episodes so far, even if the eviction itself was quite disappointing

Now down to tonight's festivities as we find out who will the first HoH of the season and their nominations.....

We kick off with Julie's eviction flashbacks, and Latoya brags about getting her way in terms of getting rid of Julie. I would say Latoya is going to be a tough nut to crack in getting out, I am saying out when the jury is forming and that's based on the thought on her slipping up somewhere. To quote someone, her overconfidence could be her weakness

HoH comp

This challenge is called Arch Rivals, quite simply balance balls on a bow and arrow and adding more when Big Brother gives the signal. Dropping the balls equals eliminations. Everyone eligible to play as there was no HoH last week. 5 podiums for the teams, obviously socially distanced.

Competition comes down to Latoya and Austin, and......

Austin wins the first HoH of the season, and another setback for Team Defender with Team Destiny being safe for another week

Can't say I've missed "Who wants to see my HoH room", moving swiftly on....

Kyle thinks Beth could be a big threat to his game, while Austin think Latoya could be the biggest threat and a comp beast. Wish we could have had that Julie v Latoya storyline we were denied a few days ago.

Beth won't certainly win any dance awards seeing her dancing

Next up, HoH Austin materialises with instructions from Big Brother, to which the two teams are separated and have to make a steal or share decision

Both share - PBJ sandwiches, milk and cookies for the week
Both steal - Everyone on slop for the week
Steal and share - Stealers will get a luxurious meal, luxurious food for the week and an advantage in the upcoming Veto comp

After much deliberating, it's a double share

In a change this year with Covid guidelines, the Wendy's delivery has been changed slightly with houseguests getting video messages when they go to get their delivery.

Buckets at the ready everyone, showmance promotion segment. No, Beth, we DON'T want to see showmances. Just play the game, that will do nicely. Thankfully the segment is only brief.

Nominations

Only Team Defender can be nominated this week, as per the twist stipulations

Austin nominated Kiefer and Josh

Will Kiefer or Josh escape the block or will it be as you were for eviction night.....To be continued in Episode 4

Big Brother Canada 2021 - Episode 2 - Eviction

Episode 2, and someone's time in the house is going to be cut short already
Good morning, afternoon or evening whenever you are going to be reading this, and what a solid launch episode of Big Brother Canada 2021 that was. Everything ebbed and flowed perfectly, as they all flooded in and may I say, Arisa Cox looked absolutely stunning. Eek or chic, hell to the yeah ABSOLUTELY CHIC.

Nice move by management to stem any potential alpha males teaming up from the off and decimating all who stand in their way right to the end, but on the flip side a lot of those houseguest VT's did mention the S word, and of course that means showmance.

Can always remember the obsession in the UK version, all a male and female had to do was look in each other's direction, and the two people in question would have the S word shoved on them.

Putting that to one side, twist was great although I personally am not a big fan of the opening night twist but as stated above a shrewd move by management and it will be fascinating to see what kind of relationships and indeed alliances will form within Destiny and Defender over the course of the next few weeks.

As for the housemates themselves, mighty impressive cast so far and one could say really diverse. I think with Arisa on the team, in terms of casting a bit of something for everyone. Jury still out though on favourites as it's very early days yet and not many markers have been put down.

In case you missed it, Kieran (Defender) and Tina (Destiny) were voted team captains, and after a coin toss by Arisa had to pick their team members. 

Team Defender - Jedson, LaToya, Josh, Rohan, Julie and Breydon
Team Destiny - Tychon, Tera, Kyle, Beth, Victoria and Austin

Both teams, minus their captains for now, then competed in an endurance comp to which Team Destiny won thanks to Victoria, a madcap character in a good kind of way of course. Which meant, Tina's team were immune from the first eviction and got rewarded with a slap up meal, and Kiefer's team apart from Kiefer were on the block and they only have slop to consume, taking us nicely into tonight's episode

Tina will be allowed to vote in the event of a tie, while the nominees WILL be allowed to vote. Will be interesting to see where the early votes go.

Tonight

We start with the aftermath of the team challenge, and needless to say smiles all round from Team Destiny, especially from Victoria. Most of them probably only dropped because of her constant screeching, which could get quite tiresome the longer she stays in there.

Josh and Julie seem to be the early targets, being seen as 'the weakest link'. Wonder if he will be saying goodbye later, well he won't have Anne Robinson saying it to him.

Slop ahoy for Team Defender, cue lots of gagging and wretching over basically oatmeal and protein powder combined. Sounds quite delicious to me.

In terms of alliance talk, it would appear Victoria, Beth and Tina are starting to align. All of a sudden, Victoria flashes her you know whats when reaching for her mic.

Kerching, we have our possible first alliance name in regards to Julie, Breydon and Austin calling themselves 'The Dolls'.....

In the midst of a Never Have I Ever game, Julie reveals the story of how she came to know about transition after coming out as gay in high school. LaToya reveals she is bisexual.

Fighting talk from Julie, saying an alpha male winning "is not going to happen", while Latoya is claiming Julie cannot keep her mouth shut, and is definitely going after her.

Beef alert, Julie hears that her name as been dropped several times as a target by Latoya and goes to confront her. Oh boy this could get ugly if Julie survives tonight and both she and Latoya hang around for a bit. I have a sense this story has some mileage ahead.

Eviction

Reminder, nominees are allowed to vote this week and Tina will only vote in the event of a tie

Here we go....

Austin votes to evict Julie
Beth votes to evict Julie
Breydon votes to evict Julie
Josh votes to evict Julie
Julie votes to evict Josh
Jedson votes to evict Julie
Latoya votes to evict Julie
Victoria votes to evict Josh
Kyle votes to evict Julie
Kiefer votes to evict Julie
Rohan votes to evict Julie
Tera votes to evict Julie
Tychon votes to evict Julie

With 11 votes, Julie is unanimously evicted first and calls them commoners before she walks out the doors to meet Arisa

And with the announcement of the feeds, that is it for tonight

Disappointing eviction, but (and please don't swing out at me if you pop in and read this) Julie kind of dug her own grave there. Would like to have seen what Latoya v Julie could have brought to this season

Who knows, maybe a battle back further down the line.....Guess we'll have to wait and see

Anyway, just to shout out BB on Blast as they get ready to drop their first pod of the season. In the meantime, check out their content at https://www.spreaker.com/show/bb-on-blast which does include an interview with the queen herself in Arisa right here

Other links to check out for this season:


So Julie has said goodbye, and we move onto Episode 3 which will probably be the HoH comp....

Until next time, stay frosty, stay safe and keep on rocking....

Big Brother Canada 2021 - Episode 1 - Launch

A new mint fresh and hopefully soon to be Covid free year of Big Brother is upon us, the international version that is, taking in Canada, Australia and USA along the way 

We start this long year with Big Brother Canada, some say the best Big Brother of the lot right now. In case you missed it last year, the show was pulled about a quarter of the way in due to the Covid pandemic. A very sad end I may add, and I do hope some of the series 8 people can at least have a guest slot in the house this year, or in the future if the show is still on the air

Back to the present, and we have a fresh brand new cast to cast our eyes on, and already there has been one removal before starters orders, as Ethan got pulled due to some, shall we say, allegations.

Updated cast:

Austin, 23 - Ontario
Beth, 27 - Alberta
Breydon, 23 - Alberta
Kyle, 26 - Alberta
Jedson, 25 - Ontario
Josh, 30 - British Colombia
Julie, 28 - British Colombia
Kiefer, 32 - British Colombia
Latoya, 34 - Ontario
Rohan, 26 - Ontario
Tera, 37 - Ontario
Tina, 42 - Paradise, NL
Tychon, 29 - Montreal, Quebec
Victoria, 27 - Hamilton, Ontario

Full bios can be read right here - https://www.bigbrothercanada.ca/houseguests/

But it wouldn't be Big Brother would it, without some opening night twist and this series is no different

Opening twist:

Viewers have been voting to which two houseguests will be team captains, and the  houseguests will be split into teams, but the captains will pick the opposing team members. The two captains will also be immune from the first eviction. Teams will be called "Destiny" and "Defender

More to be revealed as tonight's show goes on

And now it's down to business starting with Canada, so very exciting when you hear those various Big Brother themes, and hopefully in the future the UK version's will be heard once again

Kicking off with a recap of the abrupt ending of the showllast year, as in Covid, and then a house tour including the Have Not's room which is basically a ball pit

Kiefer and Tina confirmed as the two captains

Arisa points out the houseguests have been isolated for 2 weeks, and like the USA All Stars series will have to wear masks outside of the house bubble

Beth, Julie, Tychon and Kyle are the first four in.... And cue all the usual hello's and niceties until the treachery, backstabbing and everything else begins

Latoya, Jedson, Austin and Josh next in, followed by the last lot of Breydon, Victoria, Tera and Rohan

Time for Kiefer and Tina to pick their teams, let the games begin....

Team Destiny (Tina) - Tychon, Tera, Kyle, Beth, Victoria and Austin
Team Defender (Kiefer) - Jedson, LaToya, Josh, Rohan, Julie and Breydon

Kiefer and Tina are confirmed as immune from the first eviction, and there is no HoH or Veto this week as it's a team challenge. Losing team go on the block, apart from of course the captain and live in the same bedrooms as their team members.

Team Challenge

Captains are not eligible to compete. Endurance to get things started. The teams basically have to hold up a barrel of sludge each. Whichever team member is left standing, then that team is safe for the week. Now, we have an added twist where the captains can add sludge to an opposing team member's bucket when a klaxon sounds

It comes down to Rohan v Victoria, and would you believe it, VICTORIA emerges victorious

Team Destiny are officially safe for the week, while Team Defender exc. Kiefer will face the first vote of the season

After the last adbreak, Arisa reveals Tina will be allowed to vote in the event of a tie, but in a little change up the nominees WILL be allowed to vote. Winning team will get a big meal, while the losing team will get slop.

Eviction confirmed for the next episode....That's all for tonight, folks

Not a bad start, and a few little tweaks thrown in as well.....Without jinxing things, looks like a great season ahead.

In closing, a few links which come highly recommended


And there we have it for the first episode, to be continued in Episode 2 when one of Team Defender will be shown the door

Until then, stay frosty, stay safe and keep on rocking.....
