The Goofy Newfie Jon is your winner of Big Brother Canada 2, winning a hundo grand, some shit from the Brick and a lifetime supply of Twistos. Even though I had picked Neda to win, and I think she deserved to win, I am happy that Jon won. I was actually a little surprised that he ended up cutting Neda and taking Slobrina to the final 2, it was obviously the right move but I thought he would've been loyal to Neda to the end. Neda was obviously pissed but she would have done the exact same thing, and even said so herself. It's a shame that Neda walks away with nothing and fucking Slobrina aka Slob aka Saburrito gets $20K. I begrudgingly give her some credit to making it to the end, but that's only because everyone else thought they could beat her in final 2 and kept stringing her along.... and Jon's 6-1 victory proved that (only fellow Gremlin Rachelle voted for Slob). I am happy that she will never be on my TV again. If Jon had taken Neda to final 2 I think she would've won by a big margin. They actually asked the Jury on some god awful morning show who they would've voted for between Jon and Neda and the majority put up their hand for Neda, so it looks like Jon made the right call! PS I can't believe both Jon and Neda had to ask Arisa Cox to repeat the question so many times in the third part of the HOH competition. There is no way Julie Chen would have tolerated such shenanigans and she would not have repeated the question - don't fuck with the Chenbot.
Well that wraps up Big Brother Canada 2, all in all I thought it was a pretty good season, as much as I hate the Twistos Twists they aren't going away anytime soon, and we'll have to live with it, but ultimately Canada being the HOH back in Week 5 significantly altered the course of the season, and I don't like outside influences affecting the show. Thankfully because of Slobrina's sheer awfulness Canada's jury vote didn't matter in the end, but if it was a Jon-Neda final it could well have. There was no dominating showmance this season which is always a good thing....other than the little fling between Asshole Andrew and Alison, by the way I got major douche chills when Andrew was eye-fucking Alison for across the studio in the show last night. They haven't announced if there is going to be a Big Brother Canada 3, or have given any indication one way or another, but I think it'll be back. I have no idea what the ratings are, but I am sure they are decent for a Canadian show that's not on a major network. Who knows I may even apply to be a houseguest... I don't exactly have a ton on my plate these days! I usually follow the houseguests on Twitter after the show (follow me too! @HDH2112). Most I unfollow almost immediately because they just re-tweet compliments, or are completely insufferable like Alec and Liza are from BBCAN1, but I still keep tabs on them through Twitter and it's kind of a neat little fraternity they have, they seem to get together all the time and party, I am not quite sure how they can all afford flying around North America to do so. Who knows what will end up of these houseguests from BBCAN2, but I think Jon's going to go back to his buddies on the East Coast that are seen in the video below:
My beloved Julie Chen and Big Brother 16 will be back on June 25th, which is just a month and a half away! Once again I'll be giving my weekly thoughts on that season...let's hope they aren't a bunch of racists and generally awful people like they were last year. Until then I think I may write something up on the Blue Jays, and if McDonald's comes out with something new I'll have a review on that..... but you won't likely hear much from this blog until BB16.
Holy shit this dribble has been on for 8 weeks now? My heavens. So I was wrong about Peter winning the inaugural Big Brother Canada, get used to it I'm wrong about almost everything. You're looking at the guy who has predicted the Leafs would win the Stanley Cup every year since 1990. Peter can PTFO though, what a fucking loser. He had his little sob story about not being accepted on the Wednesday episode, no fucking wonder bud, nice poem too nerd. Worst. Exit. Ever. My buddy Bobby has a good point, his face is way too pointy. The worst part of the episode was not the ridiculously unnecessary twist of Gary coming back into the house, which was bullshit. It was the cameo appearance of....
Ahhhh! Is Rachel destined to come back and haunt our dreams forever? Her voice is the worst, just the 3 minute clip of her talking about this season made me want to shit bricks. At least her insufferable fianceeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee Bah-REN-den was nowhere to be seen. Probably off showing his peen on Skype again. They totally needed Enzo and Lane from the Brigade to come back and talk shit about these jabronies. The Brigade remains the best alliance in Big Brother history.
No this isn't some weird bukkake scene Gary was involved in, although I am sure if you look hard enough you can find one. It should really come as no surprise that Gary came back into the house. On their Facebook post announcing the return of a houseguest (which I left a scornful message on saying how much I thought it was bullshit), 90% of the people wanted Gary to come back. As much as I think this twist is bullshit, it could actually make the last couple of weeks somewhat interesting. As of right now I don't know who is HOH, but if Gary or Andrew win they along with that dunderhead Talla can finally split up the insufferable power couple of Jillian and Emmett. By the way I think Andrew and "La-La" bickering at each other has been hilarious, Sundays episode in particular had several genuine LOL moments for me. Before this stupid twist Jillian and Emmett were cruising towards final two, but now who the fuck knows, I guess that's what the producers wanted. It's still bullshit though, if Gary ends up winning it's a tainted victory.
I haven't really talked about the dreaded "milkmance" (ugh as if I just said that) in this blog, mainly because I find them to be intolerable. That being said one of them does deserve to win the game. They've really controlled things from the get-go. So Jillian has told a few fibs here and there, I find nothing wrong with that, you are supposed to do what you can to win, if that means lying to peoples faces then so be it. I think Jillian deserves to win more than Emmett, all he has done is drink milk, get disqualified from competitions, and sit around with his shirt peeled with that horrifically ugly farm tattoo polluting the airwaves.
I have a bit of bad news for the 6 or 7 of you that look forward to my Big Brother musings every Thursday night, this time next week I'll be passed out beside some swim up bar in sunny Punta Cana! That's right, I'll be in the DR courtesy my buddy Bobby, who won the trip through work, he drew names from a hat to be his guest, and that lucky person happens to be me! Don't worry though as soon as I catch up I'm sure I'll have a thing or two to say.
All these people are fucking retarded. Alec is a retard for throwing the P.O.V., Topaz is retarded for trusting Jillian so much, Peter is a full fledged downie bear for not using the P.O.V. he won. Talla, well she must've been dropped on her head as a child. This whole show is retarded because the producers have a fetish for twists. But I still watch, and will continue to watch...perhaps I'm the retard. Now that I have managed to offend everyone with my liberal use of the word "retard" let's get on with my Week 7 thoughts.
As I have already mentioned Alec is a complete dumbass for throwing the P.O.V. competition, not just throwing it, but completely quitting half way through. This may sound stupid but I think you should have some respect for the game, and not just quit for no reason. Throwing a competition is one thing when it really is not in your best interest to win, but 10,000 people applied to be on the show and you go and quit a competition just like that? Fuck you and fuck your massive eyebrows. He also blew it by voting out AJ a couple of weeks ago instead of Andrew. I really think he fancied himself to be Dr. Will from BB2 and Big Brother All-Stars, but he didn't even come close. But he is gone (for now...) as for his Shield partner Peter....
You dumb-dumb, yes dumb-dumb I called you an insult made famous by the Great Gazoo on the Flintstones. My pick to win from episode one is done-zo. I kind of see what his reasoning would be not to use the POV tonight, not wanting to upset Jillian and Emmett, but he should have taken off Topaz, forcing Emmett to put up Andrew, both Talla and Andrew are underlings of Jillian and Emmett, and that would have weakened their alliance. But no he decided to play it safe, and now Topaz is out the door. His hard-on for Liza is fucking pathetic. Him wearing her hairband around his finger is creepy. I seriously think that Peter thinks that him and Liza are going to hook-up and live happily ever after. Give it up bud, you'll be back home making lame YouTube videos, sniffing Liza's hairband and eating chicken fingers in two months and no one will ever hear from you again. I think Liza is going to need a restraining order once he is back in the real world.
While I agree Jillian going back on her would to Topaz was a shitty thing to do, this is Big Brother for fucks sakes, you can't trust anyone or anything. Like Mike Boogie said in the last American season "this is the Big Brother house you're allowed to bounce cheques". I would have never stepped off that ice berg if I was Topaz, and it's her own dumb fault that she is in the jury house.
Preach on Evel Dick
What a fucking surprise there is another "massive twist" on Big Brother Canada. I can live with Double Evictions, Instant evictions, but voting to have someone in the jury house come back into the house? LAME. In fact I think it's completely unfair, especially at this stage of the game when there is only 5 players left. People get evicted for a reason, and they should not be given a chance to re-enter the game, it's not fair for people who are still in the house. Obviously Canada is going to vote Gary back in. Yipee. Maybe he'll have to go on slop and he'll have another meltdown. They weren't exactly clear when the returning house guest will return, I assume it will be on next Thursday's live show. I know the producers of both the American and Canadian versions of Big Brother seem to think Twists are the key to keep things interesting but they can't be farther from the truth. Good casting makes the show, not incessant twists. This twist is the worst of them all, it is damn near criminal to have someone come back this late in the game. Unless you don't want to be spoiled, do not read on....
Jillian wins HOH again, whoopdee fuck. As for her nominations it's obvious she puts up Peter and Talla. Like I said earlier I think Peter is gone, but of course that all depends on what happens at POV and with this ridiculous twist. But what the fuck do I know, I am sure the producers are going to throw in Diamond Pandora's Box Coup d'Etat and fucking Rachel is going to come swooping into the house.
As usual I'll end with my plea to follow me on twitter @didhenley or to leave a comment. This show pisses me off.
It was a big week in the Big Brother house, the producers seem hellbent in throwing twist after twist at us this season, and it was no different this week with the instant eviction on Sundays episode. To be honest I thought the whole instant eviction was a bit chincy. It robbed Topaz of getting the perks of being HOH, the room, the letter and pictures from home, all the candy and shit that they get etc. Plus I think she got thrown under the bus by the producers by letting the rest of the house listen to her plot her move. I thought her picks were stupid too, picking on the old man bromance like that. Another thing is what happened to the Veto?? If there was the whack instant eviction AJ and Andrew should've been given the chance to take themselves off the block. But alas, the old man bromance was split up and AJ was the first member sent to the jury house.
The scene above made me laugh, when Andrew brought the picture of AJ out to have dinner with him. I wish they got more airtime at the beginning of the season, they were a lot more entertaining than that asshole Tom or the insufferable showmances that have plagued this season. I hate that term showmance, in fact I am never going to use it anymore.
Before I get into Gary's eviction this week, I have to say his meltdown over being put on slop was one of the funniest things I have ever seen. What a fucking baby! I am a big boy, and if you've read my blog you know I love my food but I certainly wouldn't have a melt down like a 3 year old if I was put on slop for the week, I wouldn't be happy about it but there would be no tears and hysterics. I actually lost a lot of respect for Gary this week when he flipped out at Talla for absolutely no reason. All she did was ask him to turn off the stove, and he got all up in her business. I know Gary is, uh, feminine but the guy is 6'3' and towered over Talla, I honestly thought he was going to punch her. As far as Gary getting evicted, it was a good move for the rest of the house, Gary was a strong player who had a good shot of winning and it was good to get rid of him. He was funny and entertaining and all but it was time for him to go. PS Arisa Cox your pump fakes are getting old and tiresome, this is the 4th or 5th time in a row you've said "Topaz..........(needless dramatic pause)......you are safe". My girl Julie Chen just cuts to the chase, and you can learn a thing or two from her.
As for the rest of the house, believe it or not that dingbat Talla actually holds a lot of power now, and what she does is going to go a long way the rest of the season. I think Talla is hilarious, she is definitely one of my favourite houseguests...the screaming is a little much though. The house is divided into the east coast/west coast factions, just like the 90's rap scene but with less bitches and blunts....and murders I guess. So we got the Shield+Topaz representing Vancouver and the Maritimers
Andrew, Emmett and Jillian, leaving Talla in the middle as the
tie-breaker. Whoever she aligns with will be the winning faction, and
will go down to the Final 3. Despite calling Peter to win from the start the only reason I want him to win now is because I want to be right, he actually annoys me, the main reason is the screaming in the diary room, you're not Dan Gheesling, get a grip!! The Liza elastic thing has also made me lose a ton of respect for him. The person I want to win now is Andrew but I don't think he has a chance. The episode tonight ended with an endurance competition, so we won't know who wins HOH until Sunday. Unless you read the spoilers, so don't read on unless you want to be spoiled.
Don't say I didn't warn you....but Jillian wins HOH, so in other words Emmett is now Head of Household. This doesn't bode too well for the Shield, and this may be the end of them. I am saying that Jillian will put up Alec and Topaz, and if one of them wins veto she'll put up Peter in their place. Ultimately I think it's curtains for Alec, he is too good a player, and Jillian and Emmett would be absolutely stupid if they don't make this move.
And quelle surprise, we have another fucking twist, and there is going to be a fucking double eviction, those are so hard to predict, but for arguments sake I'll say Topaz is the second evicted next week.
I couldn't find a good photoshop picture of Suzette so I picked what celebrity she resembled the most, and that would be Grimace
Finally, Suzette is gone. I have disliked her since day one, and I am glad the entire house has felt the same way. Unless your name is Stone Cold Steve Austin you have absolutely no business saying "Hellll yeeahhhh", and her other catch phrase "Hey boyzzzzzzzzz" was just as horrible. Basically what Emmett said at the POV ceremony and throughout his diary room sessions is exactly what I felt. Whining the whole time about missing your family and making everyone try to feel sorry for you is the last thing you should do in the Big Brother house. I don't have kids, or a significant other so I don't know what that would be like to be separated from them, but she knew exactly what she was getting into when she auditioned for, and for some god forsaken reason got chosen to be on the show. That being said, her exit interview with Scary Spice Arisa Cox, was the most genuine, and she did hit the nail on the head when she said my boy Peter was running the show.
My boy Peter is definitely running the show. That may be the only correct thing Suzette has said in her entire life. Don't get me wrong, I kind of think Peter is a loser too, the way he shouts in the diary room is as annoying as fuck, plus, he had the chance to eat steak and lobster and he opted for a baked potato?? What the fuck is the matter with you?!?!? He probably didn't even put butter and sour cream on it. I can accept making the Shield sign when you're making your eviction vote, but the fucking elastic you got from Liza too?? You should be ashamed of yourself, and you will feel shame once you go back and watch all the episodes. That being said, there is absolutely no doubt in my mind that The Shield is going to be the final 2. Alec already winning $10K helps Peter's chances of winning the whole thing. Speaking of the Shield, Alec, what's with the Miami Marlins gear? Nobody is wearing sports gear in the house, not even from the NHL but he asks for Miami Marlins stuff and he gets it?? Disgusting, I am going to enjoy Jose Reyes, Mark Buerhle and Josh Johnson this season, Go Jays! (PS I am going to have my first of many Jays blogs posted on Opening Day this Tuesday). That whole Diary Room scene where Alec and Peter were imitating each other was hilarious, and good on Alec for calling him out for screaming in the DR. The Shield is good this week, considering Topaz won HOH and Alec is closely aligned with her, but more on that later.
Peter may be my choice to win, but Andrew has emerged as my favourite house guest, and I would be thrilled for him to prove me wrong and win the entire game. Andrew is a Newfie, and even though I live in London Ontario and was born and raised in Hamilton I still consider myself somewhat of a Newfie. My grandfather fought in World War Two in the Royal Newfoundland Regiment (Newfoundland wasn't a part of Canada then, but you knew that), and he met my grandma during the war in England, and after the war, as a 19 year old war bride she moved to Newfoundland. My Mom and my aunt and uncles were all born in Newfoundland, so I identify with Newfiedom. Andrew is hilarious, his bromance with AJ had been one of the highlights this season for me. As far as AJ is concerned I have kind of grown to like him too, although I find him speaking in the third person to be revolting. Andrew and AJ are older perverts and that is exactly what I would be in a house full of women in their 20's. Topaz, Talla and especially Jillian are all attractive, and AJ oogling them is exactly what I would be doing if I was in his position. I think Andrew and AJ can float to safety for the next few weeks.
So Sleeping Beauty won HOH, I was really rooting for Talla to win, however I don't know what the hell she would have done with it. With Topaz winning, we know that Gary and Alec are safe for sure, and if Alec is safe, Peter is safe. If they had any brains whatsoever they would go after Emmett and Jillian. Speaking of Emmett and Jillian I thought their random make-out session during the POV competition was one of the worst things to ever happen in the history of Big Brother, and that includes living through two seasons of Brenden and Rachel. Emmett and Jillian are very good players, Gary has already made a power move in this game, and I think he will influence Topaz to make one this week, that being said, she could go after Alec and Peter on his advice, and then I'll have egg on my face. I predict Jillian and Emmett are going to go on the block, and Emmett is going to be the first member of the jury house.
Ugh, just as I was finishing this blog, I check my Facebook and Big Brother announces yet another twist. What the fuck does this mean anyway?? Turns out there is going to be a surprise eviction, for Christ's sakes enough with the fucking twists already. PS that's Sean "Mr. Sparkle" Markle's update above that message, he banned me from Facebook and blocked me on Twitter for a while because along with his friend Greg McGill we bashed his tweets pretty good. I do love his tweets, however and was hurt when I was banned. I'm off track again....I don't know what in the blue fuck is going to happen now, hopefully Emmett is still gone.
That's it for my Big Brother thoughts this week, like I mentioned earlier I am going to have a Blue Jays post coming on Tuesday and as usual my Big Brother thoughts next Thursday or Friday. Stay tuned!!
I am thrilled with what transpired tonight on Big Brother last night, as far as double evictions go you can't get much better. First Liza, who was the second evicted, I really didn't hate her as much as the rest of the house did, but I am glad she is gone now because she was distracting my boy Peter's game, plus she looks like Jerry Seinfeld's illegitimate daughter. Her assessment of her game when she was interviewed by Scary Spice Arisa Cox was spot on, she perhaps played one of the worst games in Big Brother history. I was reading some of the recaps of the live feeds and Gary said this about Liza "she'll suck, she'll fuck, she's a sex worker, that's the twist". That might be a little (actually very) harsh, but she did seem to cozy up with a lot of the guys. Liza could have done a hell of a lot better than she did but she let her ridiculous relationship with Tom get in the way. Speaking of Canada's biggest douchebag, I am so glad that prick is gone. He honestly thought he was King Shit of Turd Island. Far to emotional and such a fucking hot head, of course he revealed the Quarttro alliance to Liza because he was pissed off at them, the guy couldn't listen to reason. I give full credit to The Shield for orchestrating this move, and for getting Emmett to go along with it. Alec nailed it on the head on the Wednesday episode when he said something like "I'm trying to appeal to the few brain cells he has". Speaking of Alec.....
Holy fuck bud, you'd think someone told you your entire family was murdered and your dog got run over. What Tom did wasn't cool and all, but why all the waterworks?? I'm guessing if you're reading this you know what happened, but for those who don't Tom whipped open the shower door when Alec was in it and he is upset that his wiener got exposed on TV. I would be a bit embarrassed and upset too if it happened to me, but I would get over it quickly, maybe have a laugh about it, but apparently he was crying actual tears for the better part of the afternoon about it. That being said it was still, pardon the pun, a dick move on Tom's part. I heard that some of the European Big Brothers are, uh, very "European" about nudity, and there is co-ed open showers, where everyone is buck nekkid together like it's no big deal. That's not the case in the Canadian or American version, and there is some privacy, nobody can watch you drop a deuce on the live feeds. Alec overreacted big time though, the tears and drama were not necessary.
Now that two of the biggest threats are out of the house, things are looking rosy for my boy Peter and the Shield alliance. I think now their main competition is Emmett, he's a very strong player, and now he doesn't have that hot head Tom holding him back. Right now I think there is a strong alliance of four with Peter, Alec, Topaz and Gary, and with those numbers they'd be smart to pick off Emmett and Jillian as soon as they can. As for the rest of the house, I'm starting to like the AJ-Andrew old man bromance, mainly because as someone who is almost 31 years old, I'd be considered an old man on the show if I were on, even though I honestly still feel like I'm 21 (being single, having no kids and being broke all the damned time helps with that) AJ is still annoying though, but I am starting to like Andrew, hopefully he can stick around for a bit.
No HOH was decided last night, and I haven't read any spoilers yet on who wins, but despite who wins I am gonna say Suzette is the next to get the boot. I watched After Dark for a bit last night and the consensus is that they're doing her a favour by voting her out next. After the next eviction the remaining 9 houses guests will make up the final 2 and the jury house, Suzette has a young family, there is very little chance of her actually winning the game, so they think she should go back to her family rather spend the next 2 months in the jury house away from her kids. Plus, if it wasn't for the stupid twist, she would have been out the door last week.
Well that's it for me this week. I got called into work last night, so our trip to Tony Roma's for ribs was postponed, I am not sure when our next food club meeting will be, but as soon as there is one I'll post a review. Until then give me a follow on twitter @didhenley or leave a comment, I really want to know who the German is that reads this. I look at my stats and there is over 20 views last week from Germany!
Canada fucked up. We fucked up when that toupee wearing douchebag Stephen Harper got elected Prime Minister, and we fucked up when we voted to keep shitty Suzette in the Big Brother Canada house. Keep in mind I voted for neither. Mind you we weren't given much of a choice between the King of the Floaters AJ and Suzette, the Queen of the Harpies. Ugh, I can't stand Suzette, not because she is fat (I'm fat too, I can't hate for that) or she's aboriginal, just she is so fucking annoying, she can barely string a sentence together, is a Deathcon 5 floater and offers nothing to the game. It was in the houses best interest and the nations best interest to see her sent packing, that being said Fuck Tom. I'm glad his HOH got screwed. I think the producers were expecting for Gary to stay on the block, and they thought Canada would vote to keep him. I really hope they keep these ridiculous "twists" to a minimum the rest of the season. I think the American version has gone overboard with twists the last few seasons, Pandora's Box, Coup d'Etats, fuck off let the players play.
As for this weeks eviction, I kind of feel bad for Aneal. I didn't really care much for him as a player, and won't miss him but the way he left was kind of shitty. Plus he looks like Steve Urkel. I think the house should've taken the opportunity to show AJ the door, the guy the biggest floater since Kathy on BB13, and the whole schtick where he talks in the 3rd person is appalling. It's probably a good thing he doesn't say a thing on the broadcasts, lets keep it that way.
As far as the rest of the house is concerned, Peter is still my favourite to win it all, if the Shield had any balls at all they'd make a power move and get rid of Tom. The sooner the better. Tom is a douchebag of the highest order, the way he stood on the balcony in front of the HOH room with his arms extended like he owned the fucking place made me barf. Obviously everyone in the house is sick of his act too and they have the votes to get rid of him. Perhaps Emmett will turn his back on Tom during his HOH exceeeppptt................................
Emmett is a regular 4-Middle cheater (only 2 people might get that joke, you see when I was in residence at UWO, we had a dodge ball tournament and those bastards on 4-Middle cheated, I'll never forgive them). During the stupid Bumble Bee competition last night the house guests weren't allowed to carry the balls in their hand (easy there, Gary). But as the picture shows above Emmett clearly did break the rules, during the competition I noticed Liza and Jillian carrying the balls as well. It looks like the shit has hit the fan, the producers have acknowledged that Emmett cheated, and they have turned off the live feeds while shit gets sorted out. They posted this on their Facebook page earlier.
My theory is that they're re-doing the competition and there will be a new HOH, perhaps as punishment they won't allow Emmett to participate in it, but as I said earlier I noticed others were were carrying the balls too. All I can say is there is no way shit like this would have gone down on Julie Chen's watch. On a aside I think Arisa Cox is doing a decent job hosting but.......enough.......with.......the dramatic...........long...........................................pauses. My beloved Julie Chen went through her growing pains at first, she is called the Chenbot for a reason, but has since come into her own.
As for my predictions it's kind of hard to make them not knowing who the HOH is. (PS I was right with my nomination predictions last week!) I am gonna keep it safe and say AJ and Suzette will get nominated this week, and as for the double eviction I say Suzette and Tom are gonna peace out. Tom is a good villain though, I see the producers doing what they can do to keep him around as the boy you love to hate.
As always give me a follow on Twitter, @didhenley and leave a comment! Call me a blithering idiot if you want but leave one none the less!
I love Big Brother, there isn't that many TV shows that I watch let alone can't miss. I look forward every summer to watching the American version, and I was really pumped to find out there was going to finally be a Canadian version. I sent in a half-assed audition tape, but despite saying I was going to go to the open auditions in Toronto, I got drunk the night before and didn't get out of bed until 1 pm. I was a little nervous about the show going in, don't get me wrong I'm a proud Canadian, but we tend to half-ass Canadian versions of shows. There has been some minor production issues, and the host Arisa Cox is certainly no Julie Chen, but so far Big Brother Canada has been just as good as any American season. In fact I think it has been more pure than the recent American ones. If I'm not mistaken most of the American Houseguests are found through casting agencies, and they are there to further some non-existent career. Also they've been too obsessed with bringing back previous Houseguests the last two seasons. Let's be real these Canadian Houseguests aren't going to be famous when they leave, I'm sure within a couple of years Tom and Emmett are gonna be a feature guest at some shitty night club opening, or they will be signing autographs at some used card dealership somewhere awful like Walkerton. So far this season, I've developed some fairly strong opinions on the Houseguests, which I'll share with you, I plan on having a weekly recap written after the Thursday episode.
My Pick to Win: Peter
It usually takes me a week or two to make my winner pick. I was actually thinking Peter was gonna win right from the first episode, and I have now locked it in. He reminds me a lot of Dan who won a few years back and should have won last year, he even yells in the Diary Room like Dan instead of talking like a normal human being. "The Shield" alliance is similar to "The Renegades" and like the Renegades, The Shield will be Final 2, with Alec playing the role of Memphis. I really don't like the other two people in their "Quartro" alliance, Tom is a bit of a dick head and Emmett wears a cowboy hat in public like that's actually a good look. You're from Nova Scotia bud not the fucking Wild West. Peter and Alec are doing the smart thing by stringing them along while they get rid of the floaters. They can't hold the Brigades jock strap however. The Brigade was by far my favouite alliance in Big Brother history.
Enzo aka The Meow Meow is my all time favourite houseguest, no one else has come close. The best part of last season was when the Brigade came on and gave a scathing review of the Quack Pack. Anyways unlike the Brigade who for the most part stuck together until the end, I can see the Quartro alliance fall apart, probably not for a couple of weeks but eventually.
I think Aneal is gonna be a bit of a wildcard for the next couple of weeks, I really don't like him too much, the bowtie looks ridiculous, and I really hated his whole cry baby act, it was cringe worthy. At least Apu was sincere with his tears when he sang that he, in fact, needs the Kwik-E-Mart. But he is a smart player, and he is pretty good at shit disturbing. I think he'd be smart to get on board with the Quartro, and eliminate the dead weight.
Speaking of dead weight, or just weight in general, Suzette is one of my least favourite characters so far. She can barely string a coherent sentence together, and she hosts a radio show?? Her first HOH was a sham. Thankfully she is amongst the shunned that never gets any airtime. Joining that group of floaters is Topaz, Andrew and AJ, have the showed an AJ diary room yet this season? I know it's hard to fit 24/7 footage into 3 hours worth of shows a week, but christ it's like he isn't even there. Out of these floaters I can see Andrew emerging as a potential power player shortly, plus he is from Newfoundland, who doesn't like Newfies??
You can't talk about this season of Big Brother Canada without bringing up Gary Glitter. My opinion shifts on him, he can be incredibly annoying, but he is one of the few houseguests who have actually made me laugh out loud. It killed me when he said his foot was shaking like he had Parkinson's (yes I know I am going to hell for laughing about that) I'm not sure why the token gay is always so fabulous and flamboyant, playing up to all the stereotypes. I wonder if he is going to volunteer to be voted out, thinking he will come back in the house with super powers like Lawon did a couple of seasons ago. I think Gary is a good player, has proven himself in the competitions, with that I can see him being a target as soon as this week, because I think it's obvious the new HOH Tom wants him out of the game.
Is it just me or does Liza look like a cartoon fish? (credit goes to people on the Suvivor Sucks message board for that comparison and Apu and Aneal) As for the rest of the houseguests, I find the whole showmance thing insufferable. Topaz' only line this season has been "we call it a cuddlemance" and they air that line over and over during the commercials for the show, ugh it makes me cringe each time. I think the Bromance will end up coming before the Showmance, and Tom, Emmett and Alec will be quick to stick the knife in Liza's, Jillian's or Topaz' back. I think if the girls were smart they'd form their own Girl Power alliance and make the first move against the Quartro.
Talla is my favourite amongst the women, she reminds me so much of someone I used to with at the Delta, except hopefully the whole farting thing. I have gotten into some pretty rough sleeping patterns lately so I am usually awake when Big Brother After Dark comes on at 2am, and Talla is really like that all the time, she certainly doesn't play it up for the cameras. To be honest the live feeds are usually boring as all fuck, I can't believe people pay for the American ones. That is until a huge fight happens, and that is bound to happen soon.
So that 's it for my thoughts on the first couple of weeks of Big Brother Canada, like I said I'll try and do a weekly recap each week. I'll also use this space to make my predictions before I read the spoilers (don't worry I won't post spoilers). This week I think Gary and Suzette will be nominated, with Suzette going home. I annoy my few twitter followers with a ton of Big Brother tweets, so follow me @didhenley to get in on that action. Leave some comments too, I want to know who the person from Germany is who reads this.
P.S. If you are into Spoilers head on over to OnlineBigBrother.com they also provide a nice recap of what is going on during the live feeds along with pictures and videos.
