BBCAN5 Week 3 recap

The HoH challenge is to answer questions about a soap opera that they all filmed together. William and Sindy both leave early, and Dillon is eliminated on a question about himself. It comes down to a tiebreaker between Neda, Kevin and Gary...where Neda wins. Now she's excited to make some big moves and prove that she still has to play the game, even with immunity.

Neda wants Cassandra out since Gary told her she threw her name out for a backdoor the first week, and she's also trying to amass an army containing Dre, Jackie and Gary. Gary warns Karen to distance herself from Cassandra, which she is happy to do. Ika doesn't warn Cassandra when she starts getting nervous, but Jackie suspects they might go up together.

The houseguests are sent back to high school for the Have Not challenge. Players have to run across a beam and gather food whilst the cool kids (Gary, Karen, Dillon and Kevin) throw balls at them. Jackie makes it across without being hit, citing her experience dodging balls. Sindy falls in but still gets enough to survive. The four losers are William, Bruno, Demetres and Cassandra.

Cassandra senses that Neda is avoiding her, but is unable to get her 1-on-1. She finally does and throws Jackie's name out, which Neda uses as ammo to turn Jackie against her. Neda nominates Cassandra and Jackie together, in turn exposing Cassandra's many promises.

Ika gets snippy with Neda after nominations, claiming that Neda didn't consult her. Neda is irritated, but Bruno and Kevin convince her they need to stick with her. Jackie yells at Cassandra for throwing her under the bus.

The PoV competition is a fashion challenge...great comp to have 5 girls and a gay guy compete in. They have to pay attention to the clothes the houseguests are modelling, then recreate the look that was shown. The first set is beachwear, with Dre in a hot bikini. William knocks out Neda in the first round, which is rather embarrassing for the clothing designer. Jackie beats Ika in the next match-up. Emily then beats Cassandra and moves into the final with the fastest time. The next round is costumes from past competitions, and William beats Jackie. In the final round, they have to recreate Ika's club get-up, and William comes out on top.

Cassandra tries to manipulate William with tears and talk him into making a big move, since he feels like he isn't respected in the house. Dre is on board but is worried she would go up as a replacement. Gary tries to talk him out of it, which just stresses William out more. In the end, he decides not to use it.

Dre wants to keep Cassandra, and Gary does too, fearing he will be a target after she leaves. Ika tries to tell Cassandra she doesn't have the votes, but she doesn't take the hint. Cassandra starts gloating to the other contestants when they are all put on slop for breaking rules, then Jackie lets Ika know Cassandra has been talking bad about her, which pretty much ends any chance of Ika voting to keep her.

At the eviction, Cassandra pledges her loyalty to anyone who is loyal to her, which makes Neda laugh. It doesn't save her though, and she is voted out unanimously, with not many people sad to see her go. Perhaps her target was too big, perhaps she believed her own hype too much and got sloppy...or perhaps somewhere in between. Either way, the season is poorer without her.
