As predicted, Cassandra, the season 4 returnee, was in a lot of hot water this week. Although her manipulative strategy worked quite well last season, she had little to no success this time around. So, how did Cassandra meet her demise this week? Check out the full summary below.

Eviction Rewind

During last week’s live eviction, Dallas was the second houseguest to be evicted from BBCAN 5. In a unanimous decision, the houseguests had zero regrets sending him packing. The only person that seemed remotely concerned was Cassandra, who was using Dallas to further her game. Now that she is fully exposed, Cassandra needs to find regroup and find a new form of protection.

Head of Household

Once again, the HoH is up for grabs. For this challenge, “And Scene,” the houseguests put their memorization skills to the test as they recall information from their fake soap opera skit, performed earlier in the week. The last remaining hosueguest will be crowned as the new Head of Household for the week. Round after round, the houseguests were eliminated one by one, leaving Gary, Kevin, and Neda to face off in the bonus round. With the best answer, Neda walked away victorious, securing her title as the HoH.

Nominations

During the earlier weeks in the house, Neda was informed by Gary that Cassandra was throwing her name around as a potential backdoor option. Since then, Cassandra has been on Neda’s radar, waiting for the perfect opportunity to attach. Adding more fuel to fire, Ika and Neda told Jackie about Cassandra’s manipulative dealings. If you recall, Jackie is one of Cassandra’s closest allies. As a result, Cassandra must now fend for herself in the game. During the nomination ceremony, it came to no surprise that Cassandra found herself in the hot seat. Originally, Neda considered nominating Dillon and Gary against Cassandra. Since Jackie is very close to Cassandra, it was better for Neda’s game to use Jackie as a pawn.

Power of Veto Competition

The players selected for the “Runway to Veto” competition included Neda, Cassandra, Jackie, Emily, Ika, and William. Each round, the competing pairs will memorize and recreate outfits worn by participating houseguests on the Big Brother Fashion Week runway. The winner of the final round wins the Power of Veto. One by one, the houseguests were eliminated, leaving Emily and William to face-off. With the most points, William won the power of veto.

Power of Veto Ceremony

Cassandra used the sympathy card on William to use the power of veto on her. Unfortunately, that plan did not go as planned. In the event that the power of veto is used on Cassandra, William knew that Neda would retaliate and nominate Dre in her place, who is William’s closest ally. Gary also feeling like a potential replacement nominee, convinced William to keep nominations the same. During the power of veto ceremony, William followed his gut feeling, and kept the nominations the same.

Cassandra with her back against the wall, fought until the bare end. Desperate for six votes, Cassandra tries to sway Ika with no luck. She also meets with Gary and William to discuss the eviction votes. They mutually agree that Neda is felling a little entitled based on her status and reputation, and a flip needs to happen in the near future. Gary fearing the house will come after him if Cassandra goes, is down with the plan. Jackie on the other hand, is feeling rather insecure, and doesn’t know where she stands with the other houseguests. She confronts Dre on her relationship with Cassandra, since she is socializing more with Cassandra than anyone else. Truth be told, behind the scenes, Dre and Gary have been campaigning for Cassandra to stay. Jackie and a few others have picked up on it.

In the end, the houseguests stuck together and sent the Persian Princess out the door on a unanimous vote. Cassandra took the news quite well, and only hugged her supportive friends before heading out the door.

Backwards Week

The latest shockwave to flip the BBCAN Odyssey upside down is Backwards Week. For seven days, the game will be played backwards. The week will be started with a live nomination vote, followed by the power of veto, then a Hoh challenge. In a strange turn of events, the HoH will be the sole eviction vote for the week. Interesting, right?

Predictions

Backwards Week throws a huge wrench in the game. I’m not sure how this will go. Since there is a major alliance of six consisting of Bruno, Demetres, Ika, Kevin, Neda, and Sindy, I’m sure they will control the nominations for the week. Although the houseguests on the outskirts including William, Gary, Jackie, Dre, Karen, Dillon, and Emily have the numbers to stay, they are not unified. I predict Dillon and Emily or Dre and William going up on the block as a pair.
