Up until last week, the newbies were calling the shots in the BBCAN Odyssey, picking off veterans one at a time. This week, in a shocking turn of events, newbies Jackie, Dre, and William were sent packing during a live triple eviction. For the full story, check out the summary below.

Head of Household

Following Bruno’s eviction, the title of Head of Household was up for grabs once again. This week, the houseguests participated in the Pressed for Power competition. The rules were simple: each houseguest will press their weights against a metal plate at their individual weight stations. Once a plate is dropped, the houseguest is eliminated. The last person standing wins HoH for the week. One by one, the houseguests dropped like flies, leaving Dre, Kevin, and William remaining in the challenge. Kevin wins after William and Dre drop out the competition. In return, Kevin offered the duo safety for the week.

Demetres and Ika began questioning Dre’s loyalty after the HoH competition. It didn’t take long for them to figure out that Dre took Kevin’s deal when dropping out the competition. Fearing for their safety, Ika works around the clock to keep herself and Demetres off the block. With little to no luck, she begins sabotaging her own game by picking fights with everyone in the house. Ika is confident that Demetres can actually win the game if he stays over her. While all this chaos is transpiring, Karen attempts to fix her relationship with Kevin. Now, we all know that their relationship hasn’t been the best, but Kevin is considering taking Karen to the final for obvious reasons. During the nomination ceremony, Kevin targets the power couple, Demetres and Ika, and nominates them for eviction.

Kevin, Demetres, Ika, Dillon, Dre, and Jackie competed in the Toyota Triathlon Power of Veto competition. According to Global TV, each houseguests will hop inside their car and read from a teleprompter. At the blanks, they must say the requested information based on the information they learned from previous weeks in the house. Once finished, they must race along the track and place the signs in the order they were said based on a commercial featuring Nick and Phil Paquette (Winners of BBCAN4). Then, they must use their pieces to complete the final puzzle. The houseguest that can complete their tasks in the shortest time will win the Power of Veto. With a time of eleven minutes and fifty five seconds, Demetres won the Power of Veto.

After speaking with Dre, Ika tries to convince Demetres to consider using the Power of Veto on her instead of the obvious choice, himself. Clearly, that plan was a waste of time, leaving Ika back to the drawing board. Their best option for Ika to stay is to get Jackie on the block. At the Power of Veto Ceremony, Demetres used the Veto on himself as planned, and Kevin named Jackie is the replacement nominee.

Now that Ika and Jackie are on the block, the houseguests had a tough decision to make. They could either keep Jackie, who has been flip flopping the entire game, or Ika who has a great manipulative social game. Ultimately, the house made a surprising decision by evicting Jackie in a four to one vote.

Shortly after the live vote, host Arisa Cox called the houseguests back to the living room for an announcement. Arisa revealed that two more houseguests would leave in a triple eviction.

The remaining houseguests were asked a series of questions based on previous competitions and events. An incorrect answer resulted in elimination, with the last houseguest standing winning Head of Household. After a few questions, Dillon and Demetres were the only two hosueguests left in the competition. Demetres beat out Dillon in the end, winning HoH yet again.

The remaining houseguests, with the exception of Demetres, competed in the Off the Blocks Power of Veto competition. In this competition, each houseguest must race down to a ball pit. According to Global TV, they must find the names of houseguests who were taken off the block with the Power of Veto. Then, the names have to be taken back one at a time to their puzzle boards. The first houseguest to complete their puzzle board correctly wins the Power of Veto. In the end, Kevin was victorious and won the Power of Veto for himself.

The safe houseguests including, Ika, Karen, and Kevin came together in their decision by voting to save Dillon from eviction, sending Dre and William out the house.

Now, that we are down to five houseguests remaining, the game is up for grabs. I would hope that Demetres or Ika make it to the final two, but I really don’t see that happening. Karen is a lock in for final two, since anyone would be able to beat her in the end. We will see how things play out this week.
