For a second week in a row, a random tweak in the weekly schedule changed the game indefinitely. Unfortunately, we saw Emily and Neda sent packing in a surprise double eviction. Neda? I thought she was immune until jury? Yes, this is all true. Unfortunately, Neda was back-doored during the live eviction.

So, how did it all go down? Check out the weekly summary below!

Last Week

Source: Global TV

After the remaining houseguests survived Backwards Week, it was William who stepped up to the plate and won Head of Household for the week. With a new power shift, Ika and Demetres continue to play both sides of the house. Ika has her eyes set on Jackie, while Dre is has Kevin and Bruno on her radar. Remember, Bruno and Kevin are in an alliance with Ika, and she wants to keep them safe. Ultimately, the decision is up to William, who wants to take out either Dillon or Emily. Dillon feeling the pressure of the block, tries to strategize with his crush Emily. Their only hope is to get Jackie on the block, since she is not very liked in the house. Meanwhile, Kevin is using his charm and sexuality to stay off William’s radar.

Nominations

William had a big decision to make this week in terms of nominations. Strategically, Dillon, Emily, Jackie, and Bruno were all on his radar. Ultimately, it came down to Dillon and Emily for nominations this week. Dillon did not take the news well, and of course tried to use his bullying tactics against the current HoH. William was completely unbothered by Dillon’s threats, and stood strong with his decision.

Power of Veto Competition

William, Dillon, Emily, Karen, Dre, and Kevin were chosen to participate in the Flip It to Win Power of Veto competition, sponsored by the Brick. According to Global TV, the houseguests will compete in head-to-head matches. They will be shown a series of items from the Brick during each round, asked a question based on the items, and then flip over the cards next to the correct answer and buzz in. The houseguest who correctly flips the most items in the shortest amount of time will win the round and eliminate their opponent. Not only will the last houseguest standing win the Power of Veto, he or she will receive a $5000 gift card from the Brick. In the final round, it was down to Dillon and Kevin, with Kevin taking home the POV and gift card.

Power of Veto Ceremony

Dillon and Emily thought they had a great relationship with Kevin, until he was on the fence about using the veto. At that moment, Dillon began questioning his allegiance to both Bruno and Kevin (Since they were members of the Black Saints Alliance with Dillon and Emily). Meanwhile, Dre begins planting seeds in Williams head about Kevin’s true intentions. She believes that Kevin is using William for information and safety, which is all true. As expected, William makes a last minute effort to veto Dillon off the block, and put up Jackie as a replacement nominee. The plan is for Bruno to go up in Dillon’s place, rather than Jackie. During the POV ceremony, Emily stated in her speech that she was aligned with Kevin. Unfortunately, Kevin stuck to his initial plans and kept nominations the same. Dillon and Emily were soon to face eviction.

With eight votes to evict, Emily unfortunately became the fifth houseguest evicted from the BBCAN Odyssey. If only Kevin used the veto, she would still be in the house.

After the live vote, host Arisa Cox revealed that a second houseguest would be leaving the game in a surprise double eviction. She also told the house that Neda’s immunity is finally over, and that the next person evicted would be the first person on the jury.

After the announcement, the houseguests competed in the Before or After Head of Household competition. The rules were simple: each houseguest had to determine the order in which each event happened. Veteran, Sindy, beat out Kevin in a tie breaker round.

Nominations

The nomination ceremony took place immediately after the competition. Sindy nominated Dillon Jackie for eviction.

The houseguests went to the backyard to compete in the Power of Veto competition. Sindy, Dillon, Jackie, Neda, Ika and Karen were selected to participate in the “Wired for Veto” competition. The houseguests raced around the clock to untangle their rope, and hit their buzzer first. In the end, Jackie hit her buzzer first, winning the Power of Veto.

Power of Veto Ceremony

Right after the competition, Neda overheard Ika and Sindy’s conversation. Ika told Sindy to nominate Neda, their alliance member. Neda pleaded for Sindy not to use her as a replacement nominate and began throwing Ika under the bus. A heated debate was exchanged between the season two veterans, with Neda revealing their six person alliance to Dre. Shortly after, Jackie used the POV on herself, and Sindy nominated Neda in her place.

With Dillon and Neda facing eviction, the house had an easy decision on their hands. One by one, everyone voted for Neda to leave the house. As Arisa revealed the results, you can tell Neda’s heart sank. She left the house fully distraught and defeated.

Predictions

Source: Global TV

Wow, I was not fully prepared for this double eviction. I went into this episode thinking Dillon and Jackie would be evicted, not Emily and Neda. Such a game changer! With all that being said, I have no predictions for next week.

Clearly, this game is constantly changing, and I can’t keep up with it.

A wrinkle in time wreaked pure mayhem aboard the BBCAN Odyssey. After a surprising turn of events, fan favorite, Gary, was sent packing from the BBCAN Odyssey during the Backwards Week twist. Backwards Week? Yes, Backwards week! In this unusual twist, the house schedule was reversed, starting with the nomination ceremony. By the end of the week, the HOH cast the sole vote to evict during the live eviction.” Interesting, right? Unfortunately, this twist did not work in Gary’s favor, as he was the fourth person evicted from the BBCAN Odyssey. For more information, check out the full story below.

Backwards Week Introduction

Source: Global TV

Big Brother slammed the Odyssey in reverse by introducing the Backwards Week twist to the houseguests. One by one, each houseguest was called to the bridge for a surprise nomination vote. Arisa revealed that the two houseguests with the most votes would be nominated for the week.

Nominations

Shortly after the surprise, Arisa revealed the results. With six and seven votes respectively, Gary and Dre were nominated. On the grand scheme of things, the Dream Team consisting of Bruno, Demetres, Ika, Kevin, Neda, and Sindy were planning to target Gary and Dre post Cassandra’s eviction anyway. Obviously, Gary was targeted for his strong social game and season one reputation, and Dre for her strong allegiance to the French Connection. So, it makes since as to why they were nominated in the first place.

Power of Veto Competition

Dre, Gary, Emily, Kevin, Neda, and William were selected to participate in the “Highway to Spell Power” power of veto competition. Round after round, the houseguests will race to spell a word in a specific amount of time and length. In the final round, the remaining houseguests must use their remaining letters to spell the longest word. The houseguest that spells the longest final word wins the Power of Veto. As Emily, Dre, and Gary were eliminated early, Neda, Kevin, and William went head to head in the final round. With the length of eight letters, Neda won the POV with the word “underlit.”

Power of Veto Ceremony

As we already know, Dre and Gary are up for eviction, and Neda has the power to save one of them for eviction. Rather than getting more blood on her hands, Neda decided keep the nominations the same by not using the power of veto.

To close out the week, the houseguests, minus Dre and Gary, participated in the “Heavy Rotation” HoH challenge. For this challenge, each houseguest will lay on a spinning dome, while holding onto a metal handle above their hands. The last houseguest remaining on the dome will become the new HoH, holding the sole vote for eviction this week. Once the dome began spinning, the houseguests started to drop like flies, leaving Demetres and Emily to go head to head for the title. After striking a deal, Emily let go of her handle, crowning Demetres as the new winner.

The Final Attempt

Source: Global TV

Remember, the eviction this week is very different than usual. The HoH had the sole vote to evict, rather than the entire house. Since Demetres has the power this week, Gary is trying to work his magic. Little does he know that the queen B herself, Neda, has the Dream Team wrapped around her little finger. Ika, one of Gary’s closest allies, can’t even keep him safe. While Gary continues to campaign to stay, Dre is taking a more passive approach by keeping a low profile.

Ultimately, Demetres stayed true to his alliance, and sent Gary out the door with the deciding vote. Still smiling, Gary departed from the BBCAN Odyssey with his head held high.

Shortly after Gary’s eviction, the houseguests gathered in the backyard to compete in the next Head of Household competition entitled, “Oh Snap.” In this competition, the participating houseguests were asked a series of questions (Based on previously recorded video messages from evicted players). Every incorrect answer results in an elimination. William became the last houseguest standing, after winning the tie breaker round against Bruno, Dillon, Emily, Jackie, and Sindy.

Predictions

William’s HoH win is a huge accomplishment for the French Connection. I’m not sure who William plans to target, but I can see Bruno, Jackie, Dillon, and Emily on the chopping block. I’m very excited to see how next week turns out.

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

Source: Global TV

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

Source: Global TV

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.

Week two in the Big Brother house has been an emotional roller-coaster. As the newbies continue to flesh out their strategies, the veterans are turning against one another. So, how did it all go down this week? Find out below!

Last Week’s Live Eviction Rewind

Before we continue, let’s discuss the chain of events that went down right before Mark’s early departure. Twenty minutes before the vote, some of the veterans discuss the possibility of flipping their votes in Mark’s favor. Bruno and Neda believe that Mark would be a better shield to keep around than Demetres, who is working exclusively with Cassandra. Mark told Bruno about a conversation he had with Cassandra (Apparently, Cassandra told Mark that Ika and Gary were the main people targeting him). When Ika heard the story from Bruno, she immediately defended herself to Mark, with Gary in the room. Gary, enraged by Cassandra’s “accusations,” goes in full attack mode. He calls a mini house meeting to call Cassandra out, and the truth is eventually unraveled. We find out that Mark up the entire story in a last minute effort to stay in the game. Gary and Cassandra eventually call a trues, and everything goes as planned. Mark becomes the first houseguest evicted.

Head of Household

Now that the smoke has cleared, the houseguests prepare for their next Head of Household competition, Balls to the Wall. Here is how the competition works. In pairs, each houseguest will kick their “Space Balls” at numbered targets. The player with the highest score will advance to the final round, sending their partner out of the competition (Making them a Have-Not for the week). In the final round, everyone will kick again. The houseguest with the highest score will win HoH for the week. After a series of rounds, the final two came down to Neda and Demetres. With a low score of seven, Neda was knocked out by Demetres winning score of seventeen.

Nominations

For a second week in a row, a newbie has full control over the house. Last week, Demetres had his eyes set on targeting Dillon, and doesn’t plan on drifting away from that plan. In a desperate attempt to keep the veterans safe, Ika did some damage control in regards to the votes casted towards Demetres during last week’s eviction (Regarding Bruno and Kevin). Demetres listened, and wants to put up a pawn next to Dillon. He plans on nominating a rookie (One that voted against him last week). Since Emily has a close relationship with Dillon and Dallas, she was an easy target. Demetres executed his plan and nominated Dillon and Emily together.

Power of Veto Competition

Demetres, Dillion, Emily, Dre, Neda, and Karen were selected to participate in the “Milkin’ It” power of veto competition. During this competition, each houseguest will run and dunk themselves in a tub of milk, where they attempt to soak up and absorb as much milk as possible. They will then head back to their platforms and squeeze out every last drop of milk in to their glass. The first houseguest to fill up their glass of milk and pull out their ping pong ball will win the Power of Veto for the week. After a close race, the competition came down to the current HoH, Demetres, and his nominee, Dillon. In the end, Dillon took home the win, saving himself from eviction.

Power of Veto Ceremony

After a brief conversation with Cassandra, Dallas feels like a potential new target based on his friendship with Dillon and Emily. He tries to convince Demetres to put up Bruno as the replacement nominee. Since the conversation with Demetres didn’t go as planned, Dallas continues to scramble for safety. He tries to bring the veterans back together, with little to no luck. At the power of veto ceremony, Dallas interrupts Dillon (Before he can take himself of the block) with a jaw dropping speech. The veteran throws his best friend, Dillon, completely under the bus. If allowed to stay, Dallas claims to target his former ally next week. With no choice, Dillon uses the power of veto on himself, and Demetres nominates Dallas in his place.

Emily and Dallas make separate attempts to save themselves before the live vote. Emily uses the same strategy as Dallas. If given power, she will target powerful players like Ika and Sindy. On the flipside, Dallas declares his loyalty to the newbies. He wants the newbies to work with him to take out the veterans.

Source: Global TV

Before the live vote, Dallas tries to throw his former veteran ally Sindy under the bus. Unfortunately, no one cared. After thirteen days, a unanimous decision was finally made, sending Dallas out the door.

Honestly, I knew Dallas wouldn’t do well this time around. I doubt he could improve from his game play last season. Plus, I felt like he was trying too hard to be a character, rather than a player. So, he had to go.

Predictions

The playing field is completely even, with seven veterans and seven newbies. So far, we have lost two men, and I can see the women going after each other this week. From the newbies, I see Jackie and Karen in danger. At this point, Jackie is very disposable. She doesn’t have any loyal allies, and continues to butt heads with Karen. Speaking of Karen, the houseguests will never forget her winning the first HoH this year. I can see that being an excuse to nominate her. Plus, her social game is really good. The whole “Mom” thing works for her quite well. She has the word “Target” written across her forehead. For the veterans, Cassandra and Ika are in hot water. Cassandra’s loyalty has been questioned since the beginning of the game. With her reputation from last season, I can see her being an easy target. For Ika, she has most of the veterans wrapped around her finger. However, she is a threat to some of the newbies. Depending on who has power in the house, I can see Ika being nominated for some catty reasoning.
