After surviving sixty-nine days and fourteen evictions, veteran player Kevin Martin was crowned the winner of Big Brother Canada 5. The twenty four year old professional poker player came in this season with a huge chip on his shoulder, and a major target on his back. In the end, Kevin’s cutthroat game play finally paid off. You can find out how it all went down in the brief summary below!

The final head of household was determined by a tough three part competition. The winner of the Jungle Fever competition automatically advances to the final round. With Demetres, Karen, and Kevin all fighting for the sole vote evict, the stakes were high. Luckily, Demetres was able to pull out the win, securing his spot in the final competition.

In the “When Stars Align” HoH competition, Karen and Kevin used their knowledge of previous events to light up a series of constellations. With his great memorization skills, Kevin was able to take home the win, beating out Karen.

In the “Jury Questions” competition, Kevin and Demetres went head to head to win the final HoH round. After correctly answering a series of questions, Kevin emerged victorious!

With a guaranteed spot in the final two, Kevin must decide who to evict and will become the last member of the jury. Kevin had a big decision to make. Although there are pros and cons to both, Kevin followed his gut instinct and evicted Demetres from the game.

The eight person jury consisting of Neda, Sindy, Bruno, Jackie, Dre, William, Dillon, and Ika (Minus the newly evicted Demetres) congregated with former BBCAN player, Tim, to discuss who played the best game. Tensions were at an all time high due to the heated exchange between Ika and Neda. Nerveless, the jury had a tough decision to make.

After asking a series of questions to the finalists, the jury listened to Karen and Kevin as the plead their case to win. With that being said, it was time for the jury to cast their votes. One at the time, each jury member voted for who they wanted to win the game. Once the votes were counted and verified, it was finally time to announce the winner.

With Big Brother 19 premiering on Wednesday, I plan to wrap up this season within the next couple of days. Last time we tuned in to BBCAN, Dillon was blindsided and sent packing by his closest ally in the game. This week, the Jamaican Queen, Ika Wong, was finally dethroned at the final four. Unfortunately, Ika was only a few days short of the live finale. Let’s find out how it all went down in the full summary below.

Following Dillon’s eviction, the remaining houseguests competed in the “Solve for X” Head of Household competition. According to Big Brother Network, “In this competition, houseguests watched the monitor that would slowly reveal information about a specific week in the House, such as the Head of Household, nominees, and Have-Nots. In each round, one piece of information will be crossed off. The houseguests must correctly identify the information that was left out. The first houseguest to buzz in with the correct answer will receive a point. The houseguest with the most points will be the new Head of Household.” After a close match, Demetres prevailed and won his fourth HoH challenge, beating out his showmance partner Ika.

Nominations

Now, that Demetres is Head of Household yet again, it came to no surprise when Karen and Kevin saw themselves sitting on the block.

I can’t believe I’m saying this, but it’s time for the final Power of Veto competition of the season. In the “Down Under” Power of Veto competition, the houseguests must place their questions in chronological order in the universe above. Then, they must head to the alternate universe beneath them and place the correct answer corresponding to the questions. The houseguest who correctly organizes and completes the questions and answers the fastest will win the Power of Veto. When it’s all said and done, Kevin won the POV, securing his spot in the final three.

Since Kevin won the Veto, Demetres was forced to put up Ika as the replacement nominee. Ika accepted her fate in the game, knowing that her game was coming to an end, with Kevin having the sole vote to evict.

As mentioned previously, Kevin now has the sole vote to evict either Ika or Karen. Contrary to popular belief, Kevin actually weighed his options. Although Ika has played a better game and deserves the money, she is more of a threat to win the game. Plus, it would be very beneficial to split up a showmance before the finale. With that being said, Kevin casted his vote against Ika, sending her to the jury house.

So, I decided to take a little break from BBCAN to focus on some other projects. Now, that I have a little more free time on my hands, I’m ready to finish up the season. Last time we tuned in, Jackie, Dre, and William were taken out during a live triple eviction. This week, another newbie was sent packing to the jury house. You can find out how everything went down in the full summary below!

Shortly after the eviction, the houseguests participated in the Drunk Speeches Head of Household competition. For this competition, a series of speeches are played for each houseguests. Sounds easy, right? Not exactly! The speeches have been altered to sound as if they were spoken while drunk. The houseguests must listen and identify which day the speeches were given. Whoever receives the most points, will become the new Head of Household. Kevin was the winner, with a perfect score.

Nominations

After winning one the most important HoH competitions of the season, Kevin decided to take another stab at his targets, Demetres and Ika. Of course, Ika was not impressed with Kevin’s nomination speech, and made sure to call him out in front of the entire house. Kevin was completely unbothered by Ika’s verbal attack, and concluded the nomination ceremony.

Power of Veto Competition

On Day 57, the houseguests participated in this Baywatch inspired Power of Veto competition. According to Big Brother Network, “The houseguests must first find the dummies in their color. Then, they must then untie their buoy, climb over the wall, and rescue their dummies. They must take their five dummies back to the beach one at a time. After they save all of their dummies, they must dig in the sand to find their puzzle pieces, and complete their surfboard puzzle. The first HouseGuest to complete their puzzle will win the Power of Veto, as well as a special screening of “Baywatch”.”  During the challenge, Ika began helping Demetres find his dummies. The couple’s joint attempt still fell short with Kevin winning the Power of Veto competition. He asked Dillon and Karen to join him for the movie.

Power of Veto Ceremony

Karen and Dillon intended on sending Ika to the jury house, which went against Kevin’s initial plan. When you think about it from this perspective, Demetres and Dillon are the biggest threats against Kevin. Once Kevin caught wind of Karen and Dillon’s motives, he devised a very strategic move. During the Power of Veto Ceremony, Ika took another jab at Kevin during her speech. In a surprise turn of events, Kevin used the Power of Veto on Ika, and renominated Dillon in her place. .

After the Power of Veto Ceremony, the house was in complete shock. Kevin was still set on sending Demetres packing. Rookie, Karen, was in a tough position. Her close ally Dillon is now on the block with her buddy Demetres. Rather than causing a tie vote, which would leave everything up to Kevin, Karen made a decision to cast a vote against her buddy Dillon. Unfortunately, Dillon’s game was cut right before the final four.

Come back later this week to discuss the finale!

See you tomorrow,

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.

Nominations

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.

Power of Veto Competition

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.

After the announcement, the houseguests went to the backyard to compete in the Big Brother Headlines Head of Household competition. 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.

During the live nomination ceremony, Demetres put Dre, Kevin, and William up for eviction.

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.

Kevin used the Power of Veto on himself, forcing Demetres to put up Dillon in his place. The final nominees were Dillon, Dre, and William.

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.

Predictions

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.
