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.
