Episode 29 recap - Started from the bottom, now we're here

After 10 weeks, this is where we are...three houseguests left, three very different games, with one thing in common: they're all hungry for the win. They've had to weather countless twists, strategize their asses off and go beastmode in competitions. Finally, we're about to find out the winner of Big Brother Canada 3.

The houseguests are sent into an apocalyptic wasteland for the first part of the final HoH, where they have to scoop up sand from their hourglass and put it back in the top. Sarah is the first out. Ashleigh starts to tire too, taking a rest and not even putting her bucket where it should be. Eventually Godfrey wins...finally, a comp he's good at. It's a real ass-kicker for the two girls though, who are left completely drained.

The second part of the HoH is to put clues down on a giant cog that connect the houseguest's faces. Sarah gets stuck on who was nominated day 56, not realizing to count Brittnee's superpower. Ashleigh blows Sarah out of the water by about 10 minutes. It looks pretty likely Sarah will be evicted now, but she's trying all she can. She tells Godfrey that Ashleigh would beat him in a landslide, and even blackmails Ashleigh with her vote.

We get a full jury roundtable hosted by Ian Terry (was Dan unavailable?). Sindy is the biggest advocate for Sarah, saying her social game and pulse on the house was great. Zach obviously campaigns for Ashleigh for her comp wins. Brittnee doesn't seem too high on Godfrey's game, thinking she dragged him most of the way. Bruno and Kevin somewhat dispute that.

The final HoH is to answer questions about a jury, and it's a close one. Godfrey pulls into the lead, but Ashleigh pulls it back to take it to a tiebreaker. Godfrey wins the tiebreaker and is the final HoH. He evicts Ashleigh, saying he can't take a chance that a showmance will win again. Wow, kind of a shocker to me. I feel that might have been a mistake. But who cares, we have a great final 2 now.

The jury come out and begin their questioning. Sindy asks Godfrey if he'd still be in the house without her coming back, and he says yes. Bobby asks Sarah if she survived this long by not being a threat, and she agrees, but adds that she used her weaknesses to her advantage. Sarah is also quizzed on her personal relationships by Jordan and Willow, and she assures them both that they were real. Pilar gives Godfrey a chance to explain how his blow-ups were strategic and that there was a method to his madness. Bruno wants Sarah to choose between Brittnee and Willow, and she chooses Brittnee. Zach has a question about big moves, but Godfrey tells Zach he got to the end with no blood on his hands and that's just as impressive. Ashleigh gives Sarah a chance to separate herself from Brittnee, and she says she built relationships Britt didn't have.

The jury go to vote, and then Arisa tells them one person will be evicted from the jury. They play a clip of the deliberation and Jordan seems to agree with the logic that he's the fair option but is insulted when Sarah says he'd vote how Zach tells him to. Jordan is evicted from the jury and comically flails around in a stabbed-in-the-heart motion as he leaves the jury box. Arisa reads his cancelled vote: it's for Sarah. Bet you regret that now, huh?

After a quick recap of the season, it's time to get to the vote. Bobby and Bruno vote for Godfrey. But everyone else votes Sarah, making her the winner of BBCAN3. Godfrey seems perfectly happy with second place, and Sarah is...as always...pretty emotional.

Episode 28 recap - Long live the Queen

Well this is the penultimate episode of the show and by the end of it, the final three will be decided. Godfrey is once again trying to get on everyone's good side. Everyone's talking to everyone at this point, though...all that matters now is comp wins.

The PoV has two trains running on a train track that have numbers on them. The numbers are clues to specific blocks containing house events. Sarah is up first and does well, except she takes a long time to get the last one. Godfrey blows it when he for some reason thinks there were 26 birthdays celebrated in the house. Ashleigh is also relatively calm though takes her time with the last one. Brittnee does poorly and has to quit the competition.

The results are announced and Ashleigh wins the veto. She wants to celebrate, but has nobody to celebrate with. Sarah and Brittnee have a tearful goodbye. Brittnee's heart was set on a final 2 with Sarah and is disappointed her last comp  might end up being a quit. Sarah knows she couldn't have got this far without Brittnee and is scared to have to go it alone.

Arisa announces at the eviction is happening, and Britt makes one last pitch to Ashleigh - she will 100% take her to the end because they've played different games. Ashleigh kinda believes Brittnee as she's never lied before, and so goes to Godfrey to get his word too. In the end, Ashleigh decides to break up the duo, and votes Brittnee out of the house. And there are more tears from Sarah than Britt.

But it wouldn't be BBCAN without one last twist, so Arisa sends the three of them into the vault and asks them to vote somebody off the jury. Oh shit! Each of them pick two people they want to keep - Ashleigh takes Zach and Pilar, Sarah takes Brittnee and Sindy, and Godfrey takes Bruno and Bobby. However, Godfrey doesn't feel close to anyone and still wants Zach gone. As Godfrey and Ashleigh bicker about who it should be, it seems it's gonna be a while before they come up with a compromise.

Anyway, this is our final three. I love how it's quite possibly the most random group ever...none of them were even in an alliance together at any point. And it makes it hard to predict who will be the last one evicted, and who the jury will crown the winner. One episode left, it's good to see the season finishing strong.

Episode 27 recap - Celebrate good times

Following Pilar's eviction, Godfrey tries his hardest to play both sides again, telling Ashleigh she's all he's got left, and telling Brittnee that he's forever indebted to her for saving him again. But now they're down to the final 4, he can't throw anymore comps.

The HoH competition involves correctly identifying quotes that the other houseguests said. Ashleigh bombs it, which is disappointing to her since winning is her only option. Sarah pulls away, although gets distracted hearing Willow's final plea. She also almost misses a Bruno speech that was directed at her. Getting all answers right, Sarah is now guaranteed a spot in the final three, and celebrates with Brittnee by doing a goofy dance.

Godfrey and Ashleigh decide they want to try and convince Sarah that she can't beat Brittnee at the end. Godfrey knows they'll have to be subtle and suggests waiting a day. However, Ashleigh can't wait that long and just blurts it out, which annoys Godfrey. Ashleigh also tries to get Brittnee to turn on Sarah, but is unsuccessful...although Brittnee is pretending like she's listening, since she knows Ashleigh could break them up if she wins the veto.

The houseguests get a special visit from Gary and Ika to style them up for the BBCAN awards. Sarah's hair is in dire need of a makeover but she still gets a dress that fits her unique look. They all enjoy champagne (those bubbles taste a lot better than Sarah's bubbles, I'm guessing) and watch the awards. Sarah gets an award for her stand-up skills and for yelling at Bruno. Godfrey's speeches are also a category. Kevin and Pilar win best makeout, but Godfrey is enthralled by the clip of the Sarah and Willow kiss. The final four enjoy the celebration of their season and have a fun night.

The three girls talk about the votes they do not have, and it's only then they realize that Godfrey has no enemies. You can see it has only just dawned on Ashleigh that Godfrey has played a good game, and now she's dreading what he might say in his final 2 speech. Sarah mulls over her nomination options carefully, but it's really a no brainer...Godfrey and Ashleigh are put on the block, Brittnee is kept safe. That said, nominations are meaningless this week - it's all about the veto.

Episode 26 recap - Need for speed

Zach is now on the block and he gives his allies a gross and funny speech about a diaper not holding up. Sarah is scared that Zach will somehow stay though, as Godfrey's such a wildcard. He's certainly not being very reassuring to Pilar either. Zach tries to work his magic on Ashleigh, and even tries for Brittnee's vote, saying he can help her get rid of Sarah.

Come eviction night, Zach gives a genuinely touching speech about how the house has taught him to communicate more and not take people for granted. I've been rooting against him for a while but I guess he's not such a bad guy. Zach is the one to leave, but he's not the only one - it's a double eviction.

The HoH is a spider maze, where they have to move a peg along the right path. It's a very tense challenge and almost impossible to tell who is in the lead. Brittnee gets it first though, securing her spot and Sarah's. She puts Ashleigh and Pilar on the block.

We now take a diversion to the jury house where Bruno is just arriving. Everyone is surprised to see him and tells him he would've won. He drops the bomb that Sarah voted Willow out, which leaves her completely heartbroken.

Back to the PoV, the houseguests are rolling up and down a track on a sled, transferring liquid into a jug. Sarah and Pilar both make a grab for their ball when they're near, but they can't quite get it. Ashleigh goes back for more liquid, which is what they should've done, and she is able to snag it, dropping an expletive after the win.

Ashleigh takes herself off the block meaning Godfrey goes up. Godfrey gives a speech about how he's done nothing and should be taken to the end, whilst Pilar just cheerfully gives the thumbs up. Always in high spirits, and she stays that way even after Brittnee breaks a tie to evict her. Although she does seem to regret not getting to change clothes.

Well, now we're at the final four and I'd be happy with any winner. Even Ashleigh kinda, if she has to fight for it. Its an eclectic mix of people who've played very different games, and there's still time for any of them to finish with a flourish.

Episode 25 recap - Zach gets packing

Zach has a plan to save himself from eviction, and it involves getting Godfrey up as the replacement nominee by having the girls sell a final 4 deal to Sarah and Brittnee. Pilar and Ashleigh both go to Sarah and pretend they're done with Zach and ready to vote him out. However, they are both terrible liars and Sarah sees right through them.

The PoV competition is a sort of jigsaw where they have to put posters up on a board that represent certain TV shows. The hardest one is the massive Sons Of Anarchy poster at the top. Sarah and Godfrey both get tripped up on the hair. Zach has to completely shift his puzzle over when he misses a section, and it's not quite clear how his strategy of throwing pieces up top helps him. Pilar struggles a lot and after failing to see what she has wrong, gives up. She claims she's "not a quitter", but this isn't the first time this has happened. Ashleigh puts in the best time and wins the veto.

Godfrey is given a task from Big Brother to stir up as much paranoia as possible. They are put into dumb fluorescent outfits and do a rap song. Then they find numbers in the backyard and hear Bruno's voice in the vault. Thinking they have a puzzle to solve, Zach suggests Illuminati when he sees a pyramid. Safe to say this task was a success, and they all dance in celebration. It's all worth it just to see Ashleigh twerk her booty. Daym girl!

Sarah tells Pilar she's going up, whch means Zach's last gambit has failed. But Ashleigh considers using the veto on Zach...which would be a totally dumb move, but she might just be enough of a follower to do it. At the veto ceremony, Zach gives a lame, Godfrey-lite speech about how he's targeting the fembots. But he remains on the block, next to Pilar this time. Sarah isn't scared of him and is finally gonna send him home. Or so she thinks...he only needs two votes after all.

Episode 24 recap - No place like home

Despite surviving the block unanimously, Zach still feels like a huge target in the house. And he's not wrong. Godfrey is telling him that the guys are gonna stick together, but Zach doesn't believe him at all. Probably because of all those speeches he gave about getting him out.

The next HoH is crucial with the house split down the middle, and the houseguests have to lie in a glass box counting to 100 minutes. It's not that easy though, as there are several distractions. Bugs are coming out, Graig's voice is playing over the speaker, and most cruel of all, they get their loved ones voices. A creepy clown provides a hilarious diversion too, even for Ashleigh who's not playing. They're also put through the elements...smoke, water and worms. Zach is the first to tap out and Brittnee goes right after him. Sarah seems to think they're way under. The worms break Pilar, who just can't take it anymore. Only Godfrey and Sarah are left...Sarah tells Godfrey he'll be safe if he taps out, and he does so. Since everybody was under, Sarah wins.

Sarah is amazed to be HoH and we get a look at her partner Scott, who is not what I expected. Sarah and Brittnee talk about potentially being the final 2 and how they need Zach out - but Pilar is not a bad option either since she's in between Zach and Ashleigh. Zach is sharing the Have Not room with Brittnee since they were furthest off, and tries to build a bond with her.

The houseguests are split into pairs for the chance to win a gift card, and all they have to do is eat pizza and identify the toppings. Eat pizza?? What an amazing challenge. Godfrey and Ashleigh feel confident since Godfrey prides himself on having a great palette. Sarah and Brittnee are another pair and despite being in sync for most of the game, disagree over pesto. Anyway, Godfrey and Ashleigh win the challenge and everyone gets a pizza party complete with letters from home.

But perhaps the bigger reward is getting to see a loved one. Ashleigh gets 2 minutes with her mom the backyard, and Godfrey also sees his sister. The love from home might seem a little overboard this episode, but it's interesting to get some insight into the enigma that is Godfrey. His sister even breaks the news that she's pregnant. Awww.

Sarah considers her options for nominations carefully, making arguments for all 4 sans Britt. Zach knows he's the target because he thinks he's the best player in the house. Sarah clearly agrees, since she puts him on the block and calls him the King. Up to next to him is his Queen, Ashleigh. But Zach has prove himself to be a bit of a comp beast, so if he wins the veto, I will not be surprised.

Episode 23 recap - Deviance is inevitable

Brittnee is on the block, but knows she's not going home. She sneers at Zach as he walks up the stairs, giving a good indication of who her target might be. Zach, Ashleigh and Pilar cackle about being in power, although Pilar worries there could be a twist. Wow, Pilar is the smart one in that group? The editors bury Zach and Ashleigh further when they show Ashlegh's lack of geography knowledge and Zach's condescending reaction. Pilar gets a workout with Godfrey, who only does it so he doesn't have to talk to her.

Brittnee gets talking to Godfrey to gauge whether she should take him off the block or not, and is comforted to learn he has the same targets she does. Zach and Brittnee then get talking, where Zach confirms that Brittnee is a threat. She's also seeing Bruno in a whole new light, as he doesn't seem to care that she could be going home. Bruno has now moved himself up on Sarah and Brittnee's hitlist.

Sarah still campaigns for Brittnee as she doesn't know what the power does. She wants the girls to realize that Zach and Bruno bro'ing down poses a real threat to their positions. She also has a conversation with Bruno in the Have Not room where he tries to keep up the facade he wants to work with her, and then gets heated when she calls him out. Brittnee sits in the storage room alone reciting her options, in a made-for-TV moment.

We get a jury house segment, and it's nice to see Sindy and Jordan have mostly patched things up. Bobby comes in, which is a surprise to Jordan, and gives Sindy another chance to yell at him. The rest are then mindblown to see Willow and Kevin, as they were just talking about Willow probably being in the final 2. Willow learns it was really Bobby that caused her downfall by spreading paranoia about a women's alliance. Kevin says he doesn't deserve to be with these other 4 losers...yeah right buddy, you were on borrowed time as it was.

We then get back to the house where Arisa fills them in on the mind-blowing amount of power Brittnee holds. Nobody is more stunned than Godfrey, and Brittnee manages to take both of them off the block. Zach seems resigned to his fate, but Brittnee reveals he is only a pawn and Bruno is the real target. Zach's ability to keep escaping near-death is the real twist here. Bruno is evicted and tells the other houseguests he loved the move. Outside the house, he breaks down when he sees his wife in the audience. All week Bruno was saying he wanted to see his family...he got what he wanted.

Well, that eviction went as nobody expected. Not even me. Now the houseguests have to endure a fun challenge (for us, not them) called 100 minutes of Hell, as Arisa informs us next week is a double eviction. Now we're really getting down to the wire.

Episode 22 recap - Dropping the ball

Godfrey seems really happy to be on the block because he knows he isn't a target. Sarah however knows it's her even though Zach won't admit it. Brittnee plans to win the PoV and save them both. That seems like a major oversight on Ashleigh's part.

A quick geography lesson flashes up on the screen in preparation for the PoV, since they're putting pins on a map. Zach scores the most correct answers, with Sarah one behind him and Godfrey trailing after throwing the comp. The second part involves dropping balls down a table to try and get them in holes, and Godfrey regrets throwing when he hears there's a prize at stake. Ashleigh is the first out, and Bruno goes next after complaining about it being a luck game. Brittnee is out next, meaning Sarah has to fight for herself. The last round comes down to Sarah and Zach, and the rivalry is getting heated! Going for two holes now, Zach screams that he "needs the D" (no comment), but Sarah gets it first, marking her first win.

It's a bittersweet victory for Sarah, since she knows she could be sealing Brittnee's fate. The two best buddies are lying down in the Have Not room, defeated...when suddenly a box comes out of the fucking floor. The girls now realize they're not hated by Canada, and they have been given a chance to win a secret power. They head to the vault where they have to crack the code to open the safe. The clues ask them to count various objects and do the math. It's a cool challenge, but there's little at stake when the two allies are facing off. Brittnee gets the power, and now she has the ability to change Ashleigh's nominations and make her own.

Despite knowing she's safe, Brittnee has to continue to act like she's sad to throw everyone off. At the veto ceremony, Brittnee gets put on the block...but little does everyone know she's about to come off at the next eviction ceremony. It's gonna be quite a power shift.

Episode 21 recap - Nice rack!

The effects of the triple eviction are so huge, it takes half an episode to recap them. The night started so well for Brittnee when she was told she could kick two people out, and Zach is so resigned to his fate he doesn't even bother talking to her. But then after Bruno saved Zach, things got messy. We see Bruno and Sarah go at it in the storage room when she accuses him of working with Zach and Ashleigh, leading to quite the screaming match. Despite his denials, it's pretty true...Zach feels completely indebted to Bruno and they're now firmly bros.

Kevin and Pilar say their heartfelt goodbyes, and every houseguest feels the emotional sting. Sarah is extra sad when she learns it was her that sent Willow out the door, as she thought saving Pilar was the only way to make sure Kevin left. Unfortunate case of overplaying, I guess. Brittnee isn't that sad about getting rid of Willow since she was a threat to take Sarah away from her. Still, they had the chance to seriously cripple the couples and only managed to send out 1 of 4...how did that happen?

There's three separate challenges for the HoH, all with a suitably gothic feel. Brittnee hosts in a dominatrix outfit, which Godfrey loves. Godfrey and Ashleigh start out in the stock, Bruno and Zach try the rack, whereas Sarah and Pilar are burned at the stake. Godfrey is the first to fall after impressively throwing the comp. Hey, he's probably safe. Pilar and Sarah are out soon enough, so I guess that might be the hardest one. Ashleigh trades the stock with Zach, but then Bruno takes it instead. Godfrey enjoys Zach's pain, who looks like is in an exorcism when the rack starts shaking. When it's down to just Bruno and Ashleigh, Bruno starts the guilt-tripping, saying he wants to see his family. Ashleigh doesn't budge and suffers through the rack vibrations whilst the others wince in discomfort. A well-earned HoH win for Ashleigh...too bad it'll end up being stripped from her.

Sarah tries to make headway with Ashleigh, but Zach and Bruno are both watching her like a hawk to make sure she doesn't influence her. Sarah says her target was Bruno and never Ashleigh, but Zach tries to drum it into her head that Sarah is poison and to not believe her. Ashleigh is actually considering some of her points though. She knows the guys will be tough to beat, and Pilar has already agreed that they should be the ideal final two. Godfrey meanwhile makes deals with all three pairs remaining, and although nobody rejects it, Ashleigh still needs a pawn.

Ashleigh announces Canada has chosen the Have Nots this week, and they end up being Brittnee and Sarah. Both are devastated that their country hates them. Ashleigh then puts Sarah on the block next to Godfrey, sending her week from bad to worse. But don't worry Sarah, once the Have Not power is unleashed, things are gonna turn in your favour.

Episode 20 recap - Triple threat

Well, the first eviction is fairly cut and dry as even Bobby thinks his fate is sealed. Except not, because Bruno is going to bat for him even after he's given up. Willow surprisingly wants to save Bobby too as she thinks Brittnee has a grudge against her, but she's talking to Sarah, who isn't the most receptive.

Bobby catches a break though when he overhears the girls talking about the Chop Shop, and starts planting the seed in Zach and Bruno's mind that the girls have been working together since the beginning. Then it's time for the girls to do some eavesdropping themselves, and Ashleigh hears Zach say he's got a "dig" on her, which she doesn't react well to. She wants everyone to know she's not a mindless follower. Good, she hasn't really done a great job of showing that so far.

We also get a jury house segment which seems a bit early, but it's a very awkward reunion for Sindy and Jordan. Sindy breaks the news she campaigned against him and he is flabbergasted. Looks like its a bit of a lover's tiff. Meh, he'll come around. Joining them in the jury house will be mutual enemy Bobby. As soon as I saw Bruno vote for him I knew it would be another snoozefest unanimous vote and it was. Thank God there's still some guaranteed fireworks coming up.

So we get into the HoH, which the houseguests don't yet know is gonna send two people home. They have to recall facts about the competitions they've played so far. Brittnee pulls away and wins. Finally, the couples are getting broken up! She puts Zach, Kevin and Pilar on the block.

The PoV competition is to race across your lane and pick gears out of a work station, then put them together on the spokes. Kevin and Zach both do very well at it, and it looks like Zach is going to win. But then Bruno comes from nowhere and ends up getting it. Wow. Arisa asks him if he wants to use it, and the out-of-breath Bruno puts it over Zach's neck. Even more shocking! Brittnee isn't sure who to put up instead, and goes with Willow.

So now we have Pilar, Kevin and Willow on the block. Pilar is still in high spirits and adorable. Kevin pitches for the guys to vote to keep him in. And Willow sobs incoherently. And now the vote begins. Zach chooses to save...Willow. What!? Sarah votes to save Pilar. Double what!? Godfrey and Ashleigh also save Pilar, whereas Bruno saves Willow. What just happened!? Willow is evicted and is a sobbing mess. Kevin leaves too, and is in good spirits, but stunned. My heart breaks for Willow as she tells Canada "I tried".

Well, the triple delivered a MUCH bigger clusterfuck than I was expecting. I don't really understand anything that happened, especially Sarah evicting her lezmance. Bruno and Zach are working together again? This house just got turned inside out, and now nothing is for certain.

Episode 19 recap - Touchy subjects

Based on Kevin's speech, Bruno and Godfrey are both pretty sure one of them is the target. Bruno goes to Kevin to try and get in good with him and ends up hugging a lot. Kevin tells him that Godfrey is the target, but really he's gonna follow his piggy's advice and go after Bobby or Bruno. Kevin starts sewing seeds with Zach that those two are untrustworthy, since Zach is still on the backdoor Godfrey train.

For the PoV, the contestants are rebuilding a room full of Brick furniture that they need to use a swing to see. Ugh, they turned one of my favorite recent competitions into a shallow product placement plug. Neither nominees are off to a great start, as Brittnee can't use the swing very well, and Bobby just has a bad memory. Pilar has the worst of both worlds, and ends up having to quit due to getting dizzy. Sarah has the best chance of beating Kevin, but misses a stool. In the end, Kevin wins the PoV and now the direction of the week is in his hands.

As a punishment for sleeping in, Big Brother puts Kevin and Zach in french maid costumes to clean the house. They're directed to wait on the others and foot, and Godfrey plans on taking full advantage. Sarah enjoys it too, as finally the top dogs are being taken down a peg.

So now Kevin tells Pilar that they're not gonna stick to the plan she thought was in place. However she supports him 100%. Zach is less supportive. as he knows Godfrey leaving is better for his game. At the veto ceremony, Godfrey is shocked when Kevin doesn't use the veto. Bobby decides to psych the other houseguest out by pulling out his veto, before revealing it's a fake. And not even a convincing fake.

Well, Kevin made a big move and it'll be interesting to see if it works out for him. He's gained Godfrey's trust but lost Bobby's. Remember, THREE houseguests are set to leave this week, and it's anyone's guess as to who they might be.

Episode 18 recap - The con is on

It's the HoH competition and for once, Sarah feels very good about her chances, having spent a lot of time with Sindy. However, she falls out of contention early after screwing up a question about Kevin and Pilar. Brittnee and Bruno don't last much longer, and soon it's rather remarkably down to Kevin and Zach. Kevin wins the HoH, and the diaper alliance is in power again. I wanna root for Sarah's side but there's no excuses for blowing this one. It was tailor-made for them.

Kevin's not telling anyone his true intentions for the week, even deceiving his own diapers, who think the plan is to backdoor Godfrey. But his plan to get Bobby out, which is made easier by Bobby volunteering to go onto the block. This dumbass just wants to make sure he plays in the veto. Enjoy it, it may be your last one. Sarah has found some good use for Willow, using her as the mole to get info from the couples.

Big Brother makes Kevin a fortune teller for this next segment, which introduces a strange way of assigning everyone with punishments and prizes. Based on the fortunes that are read, everyone will vote for a houseguest to receive it using tarot cards. They give Sarah the chance to get off slop, since she's been on it for the last two weeks. Ashleigh gets a video from home and Bruno gets a game advantage, Willow gets to write a letter to jury which she thinks is cool, but it's a total waste because she's such a goat. There are some bad ones too, like Bobby's slop boots. Pilar happily takes the lobster costume and I'm glad she did, as she gets a lot more out of it than I'm sure Godfrey would have.

Kevin breaks the news to Brittnee that she's going up on the block again, even though she pleads for him not to do it. So much for her wanting to shed her title as the perfect pawn. Godfrey goes to talk to Kevin as he thinks he's the target, but Kevin reassures him he's not going up and there's more going on. Interesting. Is he covering his bases in case the couples alliance turns out to be a sinking ship?

And so, Kevin puts Brittnee and Bobby up on the block, hoping to send Bobby home. That plan is going to be a lot harder than he thinks since nobody else seems to want it, but it's good to see a HoH playing for himself.

Episode 17 recap - Hit the road

Godfrey is feeling great after taking himself off the block...almost like he's got the game in the bag. I wouldn't go that far dude, you're still not in a great spot. His replacement, Brittnee, is on the block for the 3rd time and doesn't feel good about it. Sarah is telling Brittnee that they shouldn't be seen talking so that nobody thinks they're close. Looks like Sarah might have a replacement for her though as she's also managed to build up a good bond with Willow, who is finally sick of doing Zach's bidding and is spilling the beans on Bobby's veto being a fake.

But who needs game talk when you can have silly tasks? Big Brother gives them a car in the backyard for them to simulate a trip across the country. There's fake snow when they go through the Rockies, an engine malfunction that strands Zach and Sindy, Sarah playing the part of a farmer's daughter, and even a Marsha Moose cameo! Yep, Willow bumps into her on the road...and Godfrey wants to eat her carcass.

Sindy hits the campaign trail, but Bruno explains he can't work with her if she's targeting Bobby. She has a productive talk with Zach, but it's Godfrey who seems to be pushing it the most as he wants people who can win comps to go after the showmances. Godfrey's less serious side this week involves trolling Brittnee with his failure to reassure her she's safe and flirting incessantly with her. There's a hilarious scene where Godfrey compares himself to Denzel Washington and claims he's 3.5% Caucasian to match Brittnee's interests, but all it gets him is a trip to the friendzone.

At the eviction ceremony, Sindy walks out again, and this time leaves without hugging anyone. She tells Arisa she feels like a failure, but really she was screwed no matter what. Sindy does get to play a part in the next HoH though...Arisa asks her questions, and one by one whoever is furthest away from her percentage is eliminated. Godfrey is the first houseguest to get out after doubting the sincerity of Sindy's tears over Jordan.

Well that's it for this week but I'm excited and slightly terrified for the triple eviction on the horizon. That really has the power to make or break the direction of the game.

Episode 16 recap - Everybody hates Sindy

The stress of being HoH is really getting to Pilar's head. She breaks down in the bathroom and Bobby accuses Sindy of being a meanie to her. What were the horrible words that set her off? "I'm disappointed in you". Yep, that's all it was. Shocking.

The PoV competition is a memory game called Big Brother concentration, where they have to match five items. Sarah is a cute host. Godfrey and Sindy both get a leg up when they pick a plate that means they only have to do three instead. Sindy gets another reversal of fortune when Willow is able to swap out with her, putting her back on five. Just as Sindy starts dominating again, BOOM - she picks "eliminated", and is taken out of the comp just like that. And she cries, because she knows it's not just the comp she's eliminated from. It's between Willow and Godfrey for the win, and Godfrey gets it. Black guy wins the KFC challenge? Hmmm, no comment.

Willow didn't win the PoV but she did win two mystery items. One is a slop pass, and one is a ketchup costume. It looks stupid, but she has fun with it, as she uses as many innuendos as she can to flirt. But Bruno says he's more of a mustard guy. Haha.

Kevin gets a task from Big Brother: to get inside the vault. To do this, he tries to cause a distraction with a...bubble bath. He just ends up creating a mess, and then his task turns into a hot mess too when he breaks a bottle. Sarah, Godfrey and Willow then get the same task Kevin does, but the real task is Bruno's, who is told to keep them out. Godfrey makes several attempts but gets frustrated when Bruno is always on his ass. After a while, he reveals the task is complete, winning them some food.

Sindy has one last thing she wants to try, and it involves getting her nemesis Bobby up on the block. He's been telling everyone that he got a secret veto from his time in the vault, and Sindy encourages them to flush it out or call his bluff. Zach and Pilar like the idea of getting rid of Bobby, they just don't like the idea of Sindy staying. At the veto ceremony, Sindy calls out Bobby to his face as a conniving player. Godfrey calls out Zach again, saying he's still gonna fulfill his promise to get him out. After all these fireworks, Pilar goes with the easy option of nominating Brittnee as a pawn.

Looks like it's the end of the road for Sindy again, she's tried pretty much everything at this point. But this pageant princess is gonna fight to the finish.

Episode 15 recap - Follower in charge

The aftermath of Jordan's eviction sends shockwaves through the house. Zach is trying to figure out what went wrong, and initially thinks Willow was the 5th vote to get him out. Sindy fakes some tears to throw them off. Zach confronts Sarah, but Sarah doesn't feel bad for sending him home as he was lying to her a lot.

The HoH comp was a hot mess. You had Bobby and Bruno trying to throw it and Bobby even knocking out Sindy, making Godfrey go "WTF we're on the same side". Kevin of all people was throwing as well. When you just got blindsided?? Pilar keeps getting questions right although she says so with such a lack of confidence it's hard to tell if she's just getting lucky or not. Soon it's down to Pilar and Ashleigh - what in the world... Anyway, Pilar takes it.

Bobby wastes no time in ratting out Sindy as the 5th vote. Dammit Bobby, you should've left them confused. This blows Zach's mind and when word gets around, she's now on Pilar's radar in a major way. Sindy's response is to gather all the non-Chop Shop members in Pilar's HoH room and spill the beans about the alliance. I get the intent here, but she's using outdated information.

The Have Not competition offers a rare chance for the houseguests to kick the shit out of eachother in bubble football. Kevin picks a team of combustible personalities to create as much drama as he can when he loses. Godfrey is throwing also as he wants to build a bond between him and Kevin. The red team end up absolutely thrashed. Sarah takes the brunt of the beatings and is even more pissed off when she sees that Kevin is blatantly trying to lose. Bruno dances around in a bear outfit, whereas Pilar is the sexy referee.

Godfrey talks with Pilar and lets her know that she is being used by Ashleigh and Ashleigh is being used by Zach. Poor Pilar doesn't even know if she's a number or a player. Ironically the person who's really trying to control Pilar is Kevin. He was talking about how she just blindly believes everything earlier, and now he's trying to sew doubt in her mind about Godfrey so that she can help him win this game. Major douche chills from this "showmance".

Pilar goes into the vault to make her nominations. Godfrey and Sindy are on the shortlist as expected, but she's also targeting wildcard Willow and Bobby, who she thinks is after Kevin. When the nominations are announced, Godfrey and Sindy are left sitting on the bock, which isn't really a surprise to anyone.

Despite Sindy and Godfrey's condescending attitude, it doesn't really benefit Pilar to go after her own alliance...especially when so many are willing to do it for her. Time to cut their losses this week and just go after that veto. Every man for himself!

Episode 14 recap - The wrath of God

Jordan and Zach congratulate themselves on their great gameplay, whilst Zach tells Jordan how the houseguests are stupid for not voting him out. You are tempting fate here, brother. God's not dead and is rallying votes to try and stay, starting with Sindy. Zach has been Sindy's number one target since going back in the house and since she knows Godfrey is one of the few people not afraid to go after him, she wants him to stay. Even if that means evicting her showmance!

Game talk is brought to a temporary standstill when Bobby and Sindy are sent into the vault for 24 hours as part of a task. Godfrey finds it frustrating that two key votes for him are locked away, making it hard to campaign. The two of them get an offer to take some money and leave the house, but neither take it. Sindy just battled her way back in so obviously she didn't, but Bobby probably should've considered it since he has no chance of winning the game. Any other episode and I probably would've been fine with him leaving.

Sarah celebrates 420 with Pilar and Kevin using fake joints. I can't believe they put this in, for a number of reasons...did we really need so much filler when there's an awesome house flip going on? Sindy also hosts a pageant, where Sarah mentions wanting cannabis again. Jordan adorably asks Sindy to be his showmance. This is not likely to change anything though.

Sindy has Sarah, Brittnee and Bruno on board, but Bobby is a harder one to convert. Mainly because he's a dumbass that still thinks the Chop Shop is alive, no matter how many times Bruno explains to him it's dead. Brittnee is the one that really gets Bobby to reconsider when she lets him know he was a potential backdoor this week.

Now to the eviction...this is gonna be a good one. Godfrey is passionate in his Zach hatred once again, whereas Jordan hams it up by sarcastically telling them to evict him. Well, the blindside is pulled off, and Jordan's face is a picture. He bolts out of the house completely stunned, eating a bagel for some reason. Arisa calls him out on some of his bad gameplay this week, and he fully admits he's an idiot in need of a reality check. He's taking it remarkably well under the circumstances, I'm glad he at least made jury.

Well! Time for a new HoH, and they're all sitting down looking to identify blurry images. Bobby gets the first question right in a complete fluke and eliminates...Sindy. Oh dear, this is not starting well. But after a legendary eviction like this, it's nice to see the game up in the air.

Episode 13 recap - Death of Newport

So there's five clues standing in between Sindy and safety, and she badly needs to get this to avoid the revolving door. Some are easier than others. The challenge goes right down to the wire and she finds the last number with 4 minutes left. In her victory dance, she quotes The Simpsons and says she's safe..with an S. I'm loving this girl more and more. The vault opens, everybody pretends to be happy to see her, and she decides to play dumb and say she doesn't know anything...when really, she knows pretty much everything. She quickly reconnects with Sarah, following Naeha's advice that she's the only one she can trust, and gives her the deets. Jordan seems to think he's still the closest with Sindy, but that doesn't seem to be the case.

The houseguests are sent through an art farm for the veto competition, which seems slightly terrifying. Godfrey finds everything he needs but can't find the exit, and wastes a lot of time. Jordan is throwing the challenge and making a real meal of it too. Yet another ridiculous risk by the superfan. He still beats Ashleigh's abysmal time, though at least she looked good in the costume. Oh yeah, anyway, Zach won the veto.

Now Jordan assumed he would be taken off the block at this point, but Sindy's re-entrance has changed Zach's plans. He no longer wants to make a move on the Chop Shop, and instead wants to leave Jordan on the block to not make waves. Jordan cries when he realizes Newport might be dead, saying "I thought we had something special". Jesus, you didn't get broken up with. He's now spilling his alliance with Zach to Kevin, and making him his new number one. Yay, now Kevin will look less stupid doing the fortress symbol. Jordan also rants to Sarah, and she's hoping he'll turn on his buddy now.

Jordan's one last plea to get Zach to use the veto is to use Godfrey. Godfrey throws Bobby and Bruno under the bus, and Jordan hopes that's enough. But it doesn't seem like it is. At the veto ceremony, Jordan makes a past season reference in his plea (classic Jordan). But Godfrey unloads in hilarious fashion, telling Zach he shouldn't use the veto on him because he's coming after him. Zach leaves his nominations the same, and Godfrey comments that he's "woken the sleeping giant".

Wow, awesome veto ceremony! That Godfrey sure does bring the drama. I'm really curious to see if he can find a way to stay now, and give us our first blindside of the season.

Episode 12 recap - Don't call it a comeback

After 4 weeks of speculation, finally we're gonna find out who returns to the house. But first, there's the little matter of crowning the new HoH. It comes down to Godfrey, Zach and Pilar...and Godfrey really wants to win so he can take out Zach. Unfortunately he's shit outta luck when Zach beats him out again on the tiebreaker. At least he was close - Pilar was way off by like 2,000.

Jordan is pissed at losing the challenge and even more mad that he celebrated like an idiot when Zach won, letting everyone know they're together. His solution to recover from this...have Zach put him up on the block. Man, that's risky. Jordan leaving under a Zach HoH would be hilarious, though.

The Chop Shop think Kevin is getting backdoored, but Zach wants to backdoor Bobby or Bruno instead. He settles on Bruno as Bobby is an awful player. Bruno starts the week off feeling fine but alarm bells ring when he hears Godfrey is going up. Godfrey also thinks it's suspicious that Jordan is so happy with being nominated. Looks like the plan to throw them off was an epic fail, then.

So Zach makes his nominations (did we need a shortlists segment when he literally told them who they would be?) and now we can get to the main event of the episode: the returning player comp. When it flashes up on the screen briefly, the houseguests freak out and Zach starts sweating bullets. There's conflicting opinions on who it should be...Sarah is rooting for Naeha, Bruno wants Graig, and Jordan is hoping for his showmance Sindy.

The first five are all hanging onto a rope. The girls are looking very sexy in their Lara Croft get-up. Johnny is the first one out, which is disappointing, as aside from Naeha he wanted it most. He does pass on good luck to his buddy though. Graig drops next and it's down to the girls. Then it's Risha, leaving a Sindy and Naeha showdown. Sindy looks super solid and Naeha is flabbergasted that she has so much energy when she just naps all day. After 1 and a half hours, Sindy wins, and it's a really impressive victory. Devastating loss for Naeha, though. I know she had a lot more game than she got to show.

Sindy enters the house with nobody around and heads straight to the vault. Arisa interrupts her dancing by saying she can win immunity if she solves a logic puzzle. Her reaction when Arisa tells her if she fails she'll have to rely on her charm is hilarious. Well Sindy gives it a go, but she seems pretty stuck. Will she crack it in time? Even if she does, is there any hope of her being a long-term player? Guess we'll see.

Episode 11 recap - You are watching BBTV!

We start where we left off...Bruno has a tough decision to make. Does he change both his nominations and flip the house, or leave them the same? He ultimately decides it's too early and sticks to his original plan. Not surprising...you can't really expect someone to make a decision like that on the spot. Production dropped the ball by not telling them about this earlier. Kevin is happy to be safe...he's really been living on the edge for a while.

The houseguests are tasked with making their own TV show, and we only get a brief look at each...there's Judge Sarah, Late Night With Kevin and a re-enactment of BBCAN2 with help from Jon Pardy. The talent show sees Godfrey do a rap, Pilar do a (terrible) drawing and Sarah do a comedy act. The highlight though is Willow's interpretive dance. It's a good reminder that these houseguests can be entertaining even when the gameplay is lacking. But it's not until the wrap party that things get really raunchy, with Ashleigh licking jam off Zach, and Willow having a very long sapphic kiss with Sarah.

Newport get a very Sheyld-esque double DR about how they're totally running the game. But Bruno is actually talking to Bobbby about making a move on them eventually, so maybe they're not as secure as they thought they were. He saw they were looking at eachother during the veto ceremony, and thinks Jordan is Zach's puppy. Sarah and Johnny also get a delicious strategy session using gummy bears. Even though Johnny agrees with her moves, he has to sell her out if he wants to stay...so he tells Kevin about how the showmances are being targeted, and lets Zach know Sarah plans to flip. Will it change the vote?

Unfortunately no, and Johnny is a goner. But he might not be for long. We get a peek at what the first four evictees have been up to in sequester now, and I think it's kinda unfair they've had a chance to mingle. Whatever though, it's good to see them, it's been a while. The three girls are shocked to see Graig walk in and his big mouth pretty much spills the beans about the Chop Shop. The four of them make a pact to go in guns blazing regardless of who gets back in. Joined on stage by Johnny, who no-one was surprised to see, Arisa tells them they will have a never-before-seen comp for the chance to win a return ticket.

This was an action-packed episode so we only get a sliver of the HoH challenge. It's before and after, and only Ashleigh is out so far. But it'll be interesting to see if any of the people talking about making a move actually do.

Episode 10 recap - The split

Sarah and Johnny are on the block, and both lament what a flop the Hexagon was. Everyone is starting to pull away from Johnny, even Kevin, who is disappointed to learn he'll be playing the veto competition, since he thinks Johnny will expect him to return the favor and use the veto on him.

The veto involves firing tennis balls at targets with the houseguest's faces on them. Unfortunately for Kevin, you have to declare who you're aiming at, meaning he has to publicly break Johnny's heart by taking him down. Johnny and Sarah are both on the sidelines pretty quick, as Kevin manages to call Sarah's bluff and predict which targets she blocks. Brittnee shows some skills to knock Kevin out, but the final 2 are Bobby and Bruno. Bobby uses an amusing sniper position but it doesn't really do a lot. Bruno wins the veto, as he's a video gamer that is always shooting things. Is this really that comparable though?

Jordan congratulates Kevin on what a great game move it was to pick off Johnny, since he was already on thin ice with Bruno. But Johnny is pretty devastated by the betrayal, and the show really lays it on thick with funeral music.

Sarah gets a task from Big Brother, which really cheers her up. She has to hide stuff around the house and then collapse on the floor. It scares the shit out of the houseguests at first, until they realize it's a task and then they all have fun with it. They change into their scrubs, and once again Johnny comments on Zach being hot in costume. Godfrey is hilarious as he sits by Sarah's side trying to save her. Following instructions, they raid Sarah's bags and the fridge to find the clues that lead them to the vault, but they can't open the box without the key. Brittnee finds it on Sarah and they are able to revive her with the epipen. Their prize is a screening and some food, which is music to Have Not Willow's ears.

Bruno begins his birthday with a cushion message from the houseguests, but it gets better when his son sends him a card. But today is also the day where Bruno decides whether to use the veto or not. In the middle of the ceremony, Bruno is summoned to the vault, making Godfrey and Sarah very nervous. In the vault, Bruno learns Canada has granted him the ability to veto TWO of his nominations. Aaaand that's where they leave us.

Some cliffhanger when they didn't even really set up any other boot targets, eh? Nevertheless, I'm curious to see what Bruno has to say.

Episode 9 recap - The crying game

We start with the HoH challenge - the foam is rising high, the players are taking knocks, and are really being put through the wringer...literally. Bruno battles the pain barrier of a broken thumb to take a nice lead, and eventually Godfrey starts helping him win too. Cheating? Not really, just smart. It's an emotional win for Bruno as now he gets to see his kids, but Sarah is also emotional as she knows she's going up.

Jordan and Zach continue to talk about how they're playing both sides. They did form an alliance called the Hexagon that involved Johnny, Sarah, Brittnee and Kevin - but it doesn't seem like Newport are really putting a lot of stock in it. Kevin has to disassociate himself with the move last week if he wants to stay out of trouble, which he manages to do. Bruno also promises Brittnee he won't put her up - even though she just got rid of Bruno's closest ally. But Britt isn't really considered a threat right now, Johnny is the one being pinpointed as dangerous in multiple areas. Only Bobby is suggesting a different target: Kevin.

This week's Have Not competition sees three teams having to navigate a maze for dog bones. One member is blindfolded, and the other two are directing them. There's also a shock collar involved - what the fuck? Willow, Kevin and Sarah are the dogs, and Sarah does not have much luck following Jordan's direction. Willow arguably has it worse, since Pilar barely knows left from right. I bet she's secretly okay with that though, since she seems to be having a lot of fun laying it on thick with the "shocks". Willow, Pilar and Brittnee lose the challenge and are the Have Nots. Godfrey is stoked to have won and it's a good job he did as he's the only one that seems to eat the chicken feet.

We get some more Sarah meltdowns now as she laments how unfair it is that she took the heat for Brittnee's HoH. "When you play the game, you get punished for it" she says. Hey, she's not wrong. And don't even get me started on Ashleigh and Pilar telling her how hard it is to be in a showmance. But she is going to make a pitch to stay off the block though, getting to talk to Bruno...and she seems a little disheartened to hear that everyone else pretty much knew she was going up and no-one even tried to stop it.

Bruno nominates Johnny and Sarah - nothing personal, just a game move. Kevin tells Johnny that he's gonna kill it in the veto. But Sarah ensures us she's gonna fight harder than anyone expects, and her useless "alliance" is dead to her. Really excited to see what this girl does next.

Episode 8 recap - Dumb vs dumber

Graig is pretty upset at being labeled (inaccurately, he feels) a bully. He wants Bruno to help him get the votes to stay, and although Bruno does want to save him, he won't risk jeopardizing his own game. Bobby knows he's good if he just lays back, but decides to play up the nice guy "I don't want HoH" role. Sarah sees through it and calls him a phony.

Meanwhile, Zach and Ashleigh take things to the next level with a nice smooch. But both of them plan on keeping their relationship and their alliance a secret, as it may cause jealousy from Bobby and Willow. Zach almost appears to be wanting to pimp Ashleigh out to Bobby to control him.

Kevin has figured out there's something funny about the Have Not room, pointing out to Pilar and Jordan the alarm is controlled by specific tiles. They keep focusing heavily on this, and I'm super intrigued to find out why. It's also becoming a secret space for horndogs Zach and Ashleigh, with Zach hinting to Jordan that they've been doing stuff in there. Bow chikka wow wow.

The houseguests race around the house to collect shirts in order to win some money and an advantage in the next HoH. Godfrey badly wants it since he's losing an ally this week, and Graig also wants it as a bargaining chip. Zach is also trying hard, but he's not too bothered about HoH, he just wants money. Godfrey is the first to hit the button and thinks he's won, but finds out later he's missing a shirt. Zach manages to win the challenge just as Godfrey comes out with his last shirt. Good for him, but now the Chop Shop might expect him to win for them.

At the eviction, Graig puts Johnny on blast, saying he's insecure. Johnny happily votes him out and so does everyone else, in a 10-0 vote. Graig bolts out of the house without hugging anyone, but doesn't seem to be bitter. When Arisa tells him he might get to go back in, he doesn't really seem too enthusiastic. Fine by me, less competition for the good people.

The houseguests get started on their next HoH, which is a washing-themed obstacle course where they have to use shirts to spell out a word. Zach has a one letter advantage for winning the last challenge. There's also more money at stake. Is this Big Brother's way of bribing them to not throw challenges? Everyone gets started, and surprise surprise, Bobby isn't throwing it after all.

What the houseguests don't know is the veto has a secret power this week...either it takes two people off the block, or has to be used, depending on how the fans vote. Random pointless twists? That's just par for the course this season.

Episode 7 recap - Spool of lies

Are you ready to see the house turn upside down? This week, Brittnee is calling the shots, and her initial nominations are Kevin and Bobby, the two people who put her up. Whilst giving her speech, she strongly implies her target is Johnny, for writing her name down. But this is all smoke and mirrors - Brittnee actually has an elaborate plan to backdoor Graig, who has been a pain in her ass for a while. Johnny knows this and is putting on Oscar-worthy performance. Several other houseguets are in on it too, but Graig is so self-absorbed that he completely buys the charade. Move over, Chop Shop - the fembots are playing twice the game you guys ever were.

The veto draw plays out perfectly for Brittnee, as Graig is not picked and her alliance Johnny and Sarah are. Willow is chosen to host the competition, and reacts with more enthusiasm than most people when they are told they've won Big Brother. They also show the punishments that were picked up on the last episode, including an awkward segment on Jordan's ass in swim trunks that I'd rather not talk about too much, and Johnny getting a pie in the face in various ways. Graig got a letter from his family though, which managed to somewhat humanize him.

The veto competition is to unwrap rope from a giant spool and transfer it to another spool. Pretty cool challenge, but why the ridiculous white skin-tight outfits? As we get further along and motion sickness sets in, it becomes quickly apparent that this is much tougher than it looks. Sarah and Kevin both start vomiting and have to quit. Bobby and Brittnee also give up despite a fast start, as they fall afoul of knots. Johnny's paced-but-consistent approach pays off and he ends up winning the veto. Now you're nervous, Bobby.

When Johnny spends the night in the HoH room, Graig starts to get suspicious. Finally showing some awareness, he seems to now know he's going up, so he goes to Brittnee and Sarah to ask them for answers. Brittnee gives it to him straight...she's pissed at him for talking down to her and acting like she's under his thumb. Graig appears flabbergasted and blames this all on Johnny's lies.

At the veto ceremony, Johnny uses the veto on Kevin, in order to ensure Graig goes up and the bully gets what's coming to him. He hashtags "Ginger Ninja" and "604" on his way to the seat. Weirdo. Well, Brittnee's plan was executed to perfection. Unless of course the house decides Bobby is the bigger threat and Graig is a nice shield.

Episode 6 recap - Pawn to Queen

Kevin is immediately called to the DR after winning HoH, which he was trying to unsuccessfully throw. And now his position gets shittier as he is asked to go to the vault and make his nominations immediately. He decides on Naeha pretty quickly, since she was part of the infamous HoH conversation about getting him out. But for his other option, he considers Willow, Bobby, Graig and even Johnny. Though he wants to put up Bobby for nominating him, in the end, Kevin takes the easy way out and nominates perpetual pawn Brittnee.

Kevin rejoins the other houseguests who have no clue that nominations have already been made. Jordan, Kevin and Zach (now known as "the bromuda triangle") talk in the storage room where Zach tries to convince Kevin that letting Naeha go gives the guys too much power. Kevin agrees, but it's too late to go back now. He's even further kicking himself after talking with Naeha, because she lets him know he wasn't a pawn last week and that Bobby wanted him out.

Arisa wakes up the houseguests and calls them into the living room to announce the instant eviction. They all have to write their votes down on a piece of paper, Survivor-style. Sarah cries as she has to choose between her two friends. Bobby mopes around but is secretly ecstatic. What a douche! When the votes are revealed it's Naeha that leaves, with only Johnny and Sarah voting to keep her. Talking to Arisa post-eviction, Naeha is pumped when she finds out she has a shot of getting back in.

Sarah is blubbering again after the eviction, as she feels she may have alienated one of her only allies left. But she has a chance to win her back as they are standing on a cog in pairs for the next HoH challenge, trying to keep balance. Jordan loves being paired up with Ashleigh too, as he gets to hug a gorgeous girl. The two stooges, Bruno and Graig, look suitably uncomfortable together and are predictably the first pair out. It's soon down to just Willow/Godfrey and Sarah/Brittnee. Sarah and Brittnee's determination to win it for Naeha sees them take the crown, and Sarah is more than happy to give it to Britt. Willow's prize for coming second is 24 hours on a cog - that's cruelly hilarious.

For once, the Chop Shop are having to scramble and Graig tells Sarah that "the whole house" wants Johnny gone. It's ludicrous to expect her to go along with that when the girls are already getting worried that their numbers are dwindling. Shit, even Pilar noticed, and she's shown zero indication she even knows she's in a game. It's been a rough 2 weeks and we had to lose one of our best characters to do it, but finally things are about to change in the Big Brother house.

Episode 5 recap - Beastmode Naeha

Sindy and Brittnee have vastly different strategies to staying in the house. Brittnee wants to lay low, hoping Sindy will dig her own grave. Sindy is campaigning hard, saying she's a bigger target if she sticks around. Sarah is torn, as there are pros and cons to both. Bruno and Graig decide to take this opportunity to cause a division in the girls, by telling Brittnee that Naeha has been campaigning for Sindy to stay. Bruno is the brains behind the plan but does it in a subtle way so Graig gets the blame. When this gets back to Naeha, she starts targeting Graig with full force.

Johnny's birthday present of a snuggle with Kevin gets cut short when the poker player dumps him to go bunk/make out with Pilar instead. Can you really blame him, though? Zach is trying not to go the same way and talks about how tough it is to have all the girls hitting on you. Sure, dude. It must be horrible. Jordan wants him to keep his head in the game, but ironically he's the one that's getting some action, following a random makeout with Sindy. What an unlikely but awesome couple. Weirdly enough, it actually seems like it's more genuine on Sindy's part than Jordan's.

The next day, the houseguests wake up to find no water or food. Big Brother tells them somebody broke a camera and they have lost those privileges until the culprit confesses. Accusations are running wild, with Godfrey and Kevin coming under fire. But Godfrey decides to yell at Sindy in front of the whole house, saying he knows she did it and she's "the fakest one here". This was apparently "strategy" to come off like a tough guy, but instead he came off like a douche.

Right before the eviction, Arisa tells the houseguests that the broken camera was just a prank. Hahaha so funny, right? Except no. We then get to the vote, where everyone is doing their alliance symbols - Chop Shop, Newport and "The Fortress" - well actually that's just Kevin. It's a unanimous vote for Sindy, but at least Jordan gets a goodbye kiss.

The next HoH challenge is to memorize the Big Brother zoo video. Sarah thinks it's funny to see who is trying and who is not...you have Naeha not even blinking, and Pilar barely looking. When the competition rolls around...it's in knockout format? Predictably Naeha is targeted repeatedly by Godfrey, who she in turn targets back. Even though she crushes it, she is eventually knocked out by Ashleigh. We end up with an Ashleigh/Kevin final 2 and Kevin takes the win. Huh, I thought he was throwing it.

Well, the Chop Shop is not in power, but that doesn't mean fan favorite Naeha is out of the woods. And the news that it's an instant eviction is sure to have a drastic affect on the game.
