Big Brother Canada 2 Week 3 Thoughts

Good riddance Ika, like Peter said on the Big Brother Side Show she was "all sass little substance."  I couldn't believe that she was shitting on Rachelle for targeting Heather and not making a "big move" when she did the EXACT same thing in her HOH.  As we all knew she totally blew her HOH and it was just a matter of time before she got the boot.  But she certainly went down in a blaze of glory...my goodness have you ever seen anything more uncomfortable on Big Brother than that $5,000 cheque/letters from home thing?  First of all I don't fault Ika whatsoever for taking the $5K, especially given her position in the house, I would have done it and so would you, but you obviously knew the producers in the diary room told her to go out there and "talk it out" and talk it out she did, in front of the whole bloody house!! Wow she threw everyone except for Adel and Neda under the bus!  Holy shit was she ever rude about the others in the house!  Now we've all been a position where we've talked shit about someone and they happen to overhear it or it gets back to them, and that makes you feel awful... this was 1000 times worse.  The rest of the house were babies about their stupid letters anyways, they knew full well that they were going to be cut off from their families and friends for a couple of months when they signed on, Sarah, the only remaining houseguest who is married with children was the most rational about Ika's decision while everyone else was shitting bricks... I like Sarah and I hope she makes it far in the game. By the way, Ika looks like Chris Bosh... click on this link to see other things that Chris Bosh/Ika look like. 

I can't stand Sabrina... her hysterics are really starting to grind my gears.  I hate how she thinks she is running the show too.  If you've been reading my previous Big Brother posts (thank you if you have!) you know how much I hate unnecessary twists.  But I think this latest Twistos Twist will ensure that two of my least favourite houseguests - Sabrina and Andrew are put on the block.  By the way, I consider myself Snackings MVP and I STILL have never had Twistos, nor have I even seen it at any grocery or convenience stores... do these things even exist outside the Big Brother house??  Anyways it's clear who is going to go up, first Peter and Gary both said on the Side Show that Sabrina should be put up then there was this....

I went to vote for who I wanted to be put up after the show (Sabrina and Andrew obvs), and I took this screen shot... look who is first and second on the list.... it isn't in alphabetical order or anything, and they just so happen to put Sabrina and Andrew first in the list.  I don't think that this was an accident! Fuck them both anyways, I hope they do go up and break up the stupid First Five alliance and their ridiculous hand gestures.  Anyways, I guarantee Sabrina and Andrew are going to go up...veto could be big this week, I am not sure if someone wins veto who would go up next... would the person who got the third most votes be put up?  If that's the case I am not sure who that would be, I am guessing it would be Kenny, but it could be Heather too because she is annoying as all fuck.  It'll be interesting to see how things unfold!

So I am kind of a big deal again... not only did McCrae read this shitty blog 2 weeks in a row (I tweeted at him again, and wrote back saying he read it... he also said he was drunk hahaha) but the Big Brother legend himself Evel Dick Donato read this and agreed with what I had to say!

 Other Random Thoughts:

Jon is my favourite houseguest.  I loved that challenge they had on the Sunday episode where him and Allison got to get hammered in the diary room and had to go back out in the house and pretend like they weren't shitfaced... now that would be a challenge I would excel at!  But what's up with the nail polish?!?! I didn't notice it until my friend and future Big Brother Canada contestant Bobby pointed that out to me, but that's kind of bizarre, eh bud?? Out for a rip are ya bud, ohhh fuck yah!

Speaking of booze, I love when they get it.  From what I have heard from previous Big Brother houseguests the worst thing about being about being there is the sheer boredom.  There is no TV to watch, no internet to surf, not even any shitty books to read.  So no wonder they are all so fucking pumped when something different happens, especially if booze is involved!

I was pretty shocked at the Veto competition... I'm an asshole and I read spoilers so I already knew Allison won and took herself off and that Rachelle put up Ika before the Wednesday episode, but the way it unfolded left me scratching my head wondering what the hell was going on.  I can't believe that dunce Heather did not take the veto, and instead had to wear some god forsaken jazzercise outfit, obviously it worked out in the end because she is still in the house but what a dumbass!

While Arlie is still nuttier than squirrel shit, that Marsha the Moose challenge he did was fucking hilarious.  I thought that was one of the highlights of the season thus far, I loved when he asked Allison if she was "crushing food" and when he told Jon he stunk and he said "well fuck me, then!" and of course when told Ika that looking at her was like looking at the devil incarnate but then went on to praise her booty.  My thoughts on Arlie gone up and down like a toilet seat this season, sometimes I find him insufferable but sometimes he can be funny.... but either way keep your god damned clothes on, Jesus Christ I have had enough of seeing you cup your junk!

I don't mind Adel but for christs sakes bud get some new pals... everyone he has been close to has been given the boot, if I was in the house I would avoid him like the plague!!

Prediction for the week: Sabrina and Andrew will be put up by Canada this week, and Sabrina will thankfully be shown the door.

REVIEW: Tim Horton's Crispy Chicken Sandwich

I take the shitty bus home from work, the shame train if you will, and tonight I missed my transfer, so instead of standing around for 28 minutes like an asshole waiting for the next one I went to Tim Horton's and tried their new Crispy Chicken Sandwich, and to my surprise it was very good.  Tim Horton's kind of went towards the fast food route with this, differing from the usual soups and sandwiches they offer, and I would have to say that this is one of the best things they've come out with in a while.

It's really just a basic chicken sandwich, I think sometimes less is more and simple things end up tasting the best. The chicken itself was very good, it was well seasoned, it had a nice peppery kick to it, and although I don't mind greasy it was not greasy at all. The only shitty thing on it was tomato, I have a love/hate relationship with tomatoes, and peeled them off after one bite. It also has mayo, you can't have a chicken sandwich with out mayo! They don't put much mayo on it, but there was just enough that I got some in my beard and must've looked like I had some 'other' white liquid there... and I didn't notice it was on my face until about 15 minutes later.   The real winner though is the bun, with burgers and sandwiches the bun always makes it, if it's a shitty bun chances are it will be a shitty sandwich.  At $6.49+tax it comes with a donut and a drink...since coffee makes me jittery and gives me a tummy ache I went for a 7UP, so the price isn't too bad.  I think they had a soup combo for around $8.25 or something.  By the way that donut was amazing... holy fuck, it had caramel in the middle and little crunchy Skor Bar things on top, it was the best donut I have had from Horton's in ages.  All in all I would definitely order it again, I am glad Timmies is stepping up their food game, now if they work on their wait times for food, and their horrendously awful commercials they'd be set. 

Big Brother Canada 2 Week 2 Thoughts

I hate Ika.  She has a rotten attitude, and I am so glad her horrible plan blew up in her face.  I know it's easier said than done but she should have used her HOH to make up a big move, but Heather was her target?? I know Heather is annoying as fuck, the sound of her voice makes me want to punch myself in the face, but there was much bigger fish to fry.  She had no reason to target Heather besides the fact that she is irritating, Ika said herself that she wasn't a threat... then why in the blue hell would you put her up and make her the target?!?!  When she won veto she could have EASILY put up Andrew or Kenny and they would have been gone, but for some bizarre reason she was hellbent on eliminating Heather.  Most of the girls on this season are so catty and Ika is their fearless leader, hopefully she is gone sooner rather than later.

But despite being assured of his safety by Ika, that doofus Paul was the 3rd one evicted from the Big Brother Canada household.  This guys game was a fucking horror show... it must've been tough being the oldest in the house, and he was definitely an outcast... but that was his own dumb fault.  He tried to make an alliance with everyone in the first week, tried to be the nice guy, and then purposely tried to play a villain accusing Andrew (who is an arsehole btw) of being a racist.  That was quite possibly the worst strategy in the history of Big Brother.  It was just a matter of time before he left, and I am not upset that he is gone, I just wish Kyle was able to stay in the game over this dork.  As much as I don't like Andrew, his impression of Paul in his eviction message was SPOT ON.  I have to give credit where it is due there.  Paul is easily one of the worst Big Brother Contestants, perhaps of all time... at least in the Canadian version he is the worst, the only competition he won was because he bribed the 6 other people to forfeit!  Every other one he was downright brutal at... Jerry from Big Brother 10 was better and that guy was like 97 years old.  His train wreck of a game will be missed for the laughs, what I won't miss though are his jiggly boobs.  I think it's time for Paul to get a manzere.  

Oh god... an insufferable showmance is blooming between Andrew and Allison.  She claims she is just doing it as strategy, but who knows.  You can tell Sabrina is jealous as fuck over this, hopefully this doesn't dominate the season like previous in house relationships have dominated the show. 

As I mentioned before I hate how catty the girls are in the house.  Case in point, they all hate Allison and only refer to her as "the new girl", like she doesn't have a name.  It reminds me of back in 1st year university, when a guy on my floor got kicked out of residence for smoking dope in his room (didn't go out to the forest like the rest of us!) and we called the guy that moved into his space "New Guy" for the rest of the year... but it wasn't done maliciously, just stupidity.  These girls are just catty bitches.  There is a pretty strong division between the girls and guys right now, and it is pretty hard to take sides, because there are people I like and dislike on both sides of this divide.

I have to say that the "buzzworthy" challenge was fucking stupid.  I was home doing nothing but watch the Raptors and Leafs lose last Sunday afternoon and I couldn't be bothered watching the live feeds and participate in this stupid contest.  From the jist of it they all dressed up in wacky make up and did dumb things for votes to win a "power".  Adel won... it's kind of funny on Big Brother Canada that all the news he got from the outside world involved hockey... way to play up the stereotypes!  But his power is so fucking stupid, and they're playing it off like it is some game changing thing.  This reminds me of Lawon from Big Brother 13 volunteering to be evicted because he was convinced he was going to come back into the house with "Super Powers"  those non-existent super powers are way better than this shitty power Adel 'won'.  I like Adel though, he's one of the few I can tolerate so far this season, but this power is useless and whack as fuck.  I also think lying about this ridiculous supposed power is only going to hurt his game in the long run, just tell the rest of these idiots how shitty your actual power is and get on with it.

Other Random Thoughts:

It was pretty funny on the Sunday episode when Kenny said that he was an "ass-man" well no shit, of course he's an ass man... not that there is anything wrong with that!!

The boys in this house need to put on some god damned clothes... first we had Arlie the lunatic streaking throughout the house, Kenny never wears a shirt, and Jon pretty much chills in tighty whities the entire time.  Can the girls learn a thing or two from these guys perhaps??

As I just alluded to, Arlie is completely spun... seriously this guy is mental!  What is with that sick hair cut?  What is with that red suit he wore on eviction night?  What is with the streaking?  This guy has issues.

I'm starting to really warm up to Neda, honestly I think she is one of the smartest players in the house, she was the only voice of reason when Ika stupidly made Heather her target.  I am going to make a bold prediction - Neda is going to win this game.

So me and McCrae from Big Brother 15 and I are pretty much buds now.  As you can see by the time, I came home a little late from drinking at my buddys house last weekend and started to tweet out the link to my Big Brother Reviews to people, and I sent the link to McCrae - you could tell I was drunk because at first I tweeted him the wrong link.  Anyways, he said he enjoyed the fact that I have a Kramer display picture and that my name on it is Reginald VelJohnson, he thought I was "a cool dude" anyways that's what he said about my article last week.   I was still pretty shocked that a "D" List celebrity read my shitty blog, and that he told me he did.  He was probably drunk too.

Rachelle won HOH!! I think she looks like the lead singer of Evanescence.  She even dressed all goth like in that stupid buzzworthy challenge....  I still think she is pretty cute though.   Anyways I am not sure where her head is at, as she is on the catty girl side.  If I were her I would go after Ika, only because I hate her, but the best game move would be to go after Andrew and Kenny.  However, I believe she will play it safe and nominate Allison and Heather, and Heather will be shown the door.

REVIEW: Big Boss Sandwich

When I saw the commercials for the Big Boss from KFC, I was pretty excited to try it, if you're a veteran reader of this shitty blog, you know that I love Big Macs  The Big Boss is basically the exact same as a Big Mac except with chicken instead of beef.  I've often wondered what a Chicken Big Mac would be like, word on the street in McDonald's locations in the Caribbean and other locales sell it.  I've considered asking those dorky teenagers at McDonald's to make me one, but I've been too embarrassed to ask.  I suppose I could just order a couple of Junior Chickens and make it myself but seems like it would be far too much work.  I'm a big fan of KFC.... even though Popeye's is 1000 times better (sidenote: they REALLY need to open a Popeye's in Kingston, I had it when I was back home in London a couple of weeks ago, and holy fuck was it ever good).  As to be expected, the Colonel makes some of the best chicken sandwiches in the fast food circuit, the Big Crunch, the Zinger and especially the Double Down are all very good, but I am disappointed to report that the Big Boss failed to live up to my lofty expectations.

First we have the presentation - Good Lord, I know what you get at a fast food joint doesn't look anything like it looks on the commercials, but this is a monstrosity!  It was like someone without fingers put this together, it was perhaps the most poorly put together sandwich I have ever had at a fast food restaurant.  It was a pretty busy in there tonight,  I think everyone in front of me ordered 20 piece buckets - it took them forever to get me my order (13 minutes to be exact - I could tell because I saw my order on their shitty little monitor), I wont fault them for that, but there is no excuse for such a half-ass constructed sandwich.  The chicken patties had the traditional KFC breading we've all come to know and love, but the chicken itself was shockingly, and unpleasantly dry, it wasn't a very big piece of chicken either, compounding the dryness of the chicken was the bun, I don't know if it was stale or what but the first couple of bites was like eating chalk.  Things did improve when I hit the middle and was met with some pickles, onion and sauce.  Speaking of sauce, I had BARELY any sauce on mine, I couldn't tell if it was trying to be like Big Mac Sauce or mayo or what.  When you get a Big Mac you usually end up with some sauce on your fingers and face, this sandwich could have used a ton more sauce to save itself from the overall blandness of it.  The whole thing was kind of cold too which is never good.  It was almost $10 after taxes for a combo - a little pricey, I doubt I will order it again.  Overall I would have to give the Colonel an "A" for effort in trying something new, but the execution gets a D+.  I'll be returning to KFC once they bring back the Zinger Double Down.

Big Brother Canada 2 Week 1 Thoughts

I apologize for the lateness of this post, I didn't do this after the show on Thursday and then last night I went to a hockey game with my buddy and then out drinking.  I rolled out of bed at the crack of noon today and I'm slighty hungover and have dragging my ass this afternoon, I'll try to have these up sooner in the coming weeks....I probably won't but I will try.  Anyways, Kyle was given the boot this week, and surprise surprise it was almost unanimous, only his boy Adel voted to keep him in, what a bunch of sheep the people in this house are.  I was pretty disappointed to see him go.  At first I thought he was pretty cocky and a meathead, but the "Emotion Scotian" seems like a good guy, we all saw that with the comments he made when he left the house, and when he was interviewed on the after show.  His problem was he was a part of the nerd herd with Adel and Paul who are house outcasts at this point, and the powers that be felt that he was a threat to their game.

Speaking of Paul doesn't he kind of look like Uncle Phil??  Paul has really annoyed me so far, even the sound of his voice gets on my nerves, and he is a motivational speaker??  No wonder the Veto competition was spread over two episodes with his belly-aching over his fear of heights.  Don't get me wrong I am no fan of Andrew (more on that later) but accusing someone of being a sexist and racist as a strategy is pretty fucking brutal, that could affect his life outside of the show... as we all saw with houseguests from the most recent season of Big Brothers USA.  At least they made it clear that Andrew really wasn't a racist.  I do feel a little bad for him, it must be tough to be a complete outcast from the rest of the house, but he really brought it on himself.

While Andrew didn't deserve to be called a sexist and racist by Paul, the guy is a clown show.  Jon said it right when he said that "He's not a tool, he's a box full of tools, he's a toolbox".  Right now the guy is walking around like his shit don't stink, classic HOHitis, plus everyone in the house (beside the Nerd Herd) are all sucking up to him.  Those 4 girls snuggling in the bed with him was cringe worthy to see, and Sabrina washed his feet for christs sake.  But the so called "First 5 alliance" of Andrew, Kenny, Sabrina, Arlie and Sarah looks pretty solid so far, and it looks like Kenny and Andrew have a final 2 deal, and they seem to be running the show now.  If Ika was smart she would pull a power move as HOH and put up Andrew and Kenny, but I think she will take the easy road and go after Paul and Adel.

I was pleasantly surprised that Alison got voted into the house.  Like I said in this spot last week I thought for sure the Drag Queen was going to get put in... it certainly wasn't going to be 'Nate the Great', what a bore he was, a cardboard box has more personality than he does.  Besides his family and friends I doubt he got a single vote.  Alison risks instant eviction if she tells anyone about the secret room... if that were me I'd be terrified, I have such a fucking blabbermouth, I'd probably accidentally spill the beans within the first 6 hours of being in the house.  I am going to sound like a major dork here, but there was a strong twitter movement to get Alison in the house, all the old houseguests from both the American and Canadian versions that I follow were all pushing for her to get in over Scott, and everyone was pretty happy when she got in.  I liked how she played it too claiming she just walked in the show, and that she was surprised the rest of them had already been in the house for 2 weeks.  She's a Newfie too which makes her even better.

Other Random Thoughts:

If you're not watching the Big Brother After Show after the Thursday eviction you should be.  They have actually been hilarious.  Gary and Peter got on my nerves at times last season, but they both are pretty funny when they rip into the current houseguests.  They also had a montage of the houseguests farting.... yeah I am juvenile I thought it was hilarious. Gary however dresses like a 70 year old woman during the shows.  J-U-Double D Party Dardy himself even made an appearance when he asked a question to the 3 houseguests that were in isolation. 

Jon might be my favourite houseguest so far, he is such a Newfie Hoser, I expect him to say "out for a rip are ya bud?" at any moment.  Even though I was born and raised in Hamilton Ontario, and have never been to Newfoundland, I consider myself a Newfie, my Mom and my aunt and uncles were all born in Newfoundland, so I am always going to root for the Newfies in the house.  Why is his arm in a sling though?  You'd think they'd explain that.

Arisa Cox needs to take a page from my girl Julie Chen's book during the competitions.  A couple of times during the HOH competition she needed the Chenbots assertiveness when the houseguests were taking forever to make an answer.  JC doesn't put up with any bullshit - houseguests I need an answer NOW!!!

The internet needs to be better at photoshops for Big Brother Canada.  During the American seasons there are a ton of hilarious pictures floating around there, and I put a bunch of them on this blog, half the fun was looking for those pics.  I'm too dumb to make them myself, so someone out there needs to get their shit together and make some.

Prediction for this week:  Like I said earlier I think Ika is going to put up Adel and Paul, and that Humpty Dumpty looking fucker Paul will be shown the door.  

Big Brother Canada 2 Opening Week Thoughts

This week marks the return of the Canadian version of my favourite TV show Big Brother! Once again I have decided to interrupt my usual nightly routine of laying on the couch and staring at the walls by dusting off this ol' blog to give you my weekly thoughts on the show.  I'll try to have blog up after the Thursday episode... but since I'm an old fart, I am usually in bed by 10, and since the show ends at 10 my eyes are getting a little heavy and I really don't want to spend an hour writing up a post (believe it or not, these take an hour or more to do up!) Anyways I'll try to get it up as soon as possible after the Thursday eviction.  

So Anick is the first casualty of BBCAN2... she may have been nuttier than squirrel shit with that hippie Reiki Master nonsense, but at least she was good for a laugh or two, most of this cast (so far) is pretty boring.  She reminded me of Talla from last season in that she was a complete space cadet.  I did feel bad for her when she got evicted as she appeared genuinely upset, being voted out 11-0 must suck too!  She was an easy target and I think she isolated a lot of people with the weird shit she did with the feathers and whatnot, plus she was the first one off the ice block during the first HOH competition.  I hope the 11-0 vote isn't an indication of everyone "going with the house" a problem which plagued the most recent season of the American Big Brother.  Plus I think they were all terrified of Ika, if someone voted for her I am sure she would have tracked them down and ripped their heads off.

 

Sad truth: I am the same age as Sarah (the "Mom" of the season) and am younger than Paul, but everyone else in the house is younger (in some cases MUCH younger) than I am.  I guess I am over the hill, if I was cast on the show I'd be the token geezer.  That being said, I must say that having the cast in tiny bathing suits on the opening episode was a good introduction, I think I fell in love with Rachelle during that competition..... but on the other hand Paul and his man-boobs reminded me either of former WWF Champion Yokozuna or Bob from Fight Club.

 

I really wish I knew how to put those pictures side by side, but oh well... as for Paul how many bloody hats did he bring into the Big Brother house? In every scene he had a new hat.   Much like the rest of the cast I am not sure what to think of him so far, he had the typical case of HOHitis, where because he was HOH thought he was King Shit of Turd Isle and everyone had to bow at his feet and kiss the ring.  He seems pretty genuine though, I could see him lasting for a bit.

 

As for the "Twistos Twist".... by the way as someone who loves snacking and snack foods I have NEVER heard of Twistos, I had to Google it to find out what they were, apparently they're crackers.  But I don't like the twist.... the 3 or 4 of you that have read my previous Big Brother blogs know that I hate the stupid twists that the producers throw at us, just let the fucking game unfold naturally.  Last season Big Brother Canada was especially guilty of going overboard on the twists.  Anyhoo, as we all know that there are 3 more potential houseguests living in isolation and the country gets to vote in who will enter in the house.  We all know it's going to be the fucking drag queen... why even bother having those other two dorks there.  There is NO CHANCE that boring guy from BC or the Dancing Newfie are going to get in... might as well just put the Drag Queen in there now and spare us the charade. 

As for the rest of the house I am going to give some of my initial thoughts on each of them, despite not having much to go on. 

Adel - Ummmm.... I am sure I am going to make an Adel/Adele joke somewhere along the line this season.  The singing Adele is a saint, but this Adel doesn't leave much of an impression, he did "twerk" on the ice block, and that wasn't funny at all.  Lame.

Andrew -  He came across as a bit of a dick, being loud and obnoxious and he did a Rob Ford-level Jamaican accent to Ika, but I think he's a strong competitor and will stick around for a bit.  I am pretty sure I have been to that bar in Calgary he works at too... they had over 100 beers on tap there, it was a good spot! 

Arlie - This is one houseguest that did leave an impression on me - that of anger.  Vote this asshole out immediately.  What a loser! I am sure he is going to earn a ton of my scorn this season.  Plus his name is fucking Arlie.

Heather - She is pretty easy on the eyes, but in the little she has said or done so far seems a bit annoying.

Ika - Megabitch.  I know Anick's hippie-dippie stuff was a little off the wall, but she did not need to be so rude about it.  I don't like her very much so far... I can see her causing drama in the house, which could at least provide some entertainment.  

Jon - He's 1 of 2 Newfies in the house and I have Newfie blood coursing through my veins, so of course I have a soft spot for him.  Plus I heard that him and Rachelle are hooking up already.  Good for him, but I hope this showmance doesn't become as insufferable as the rest of Big Brother relationships are.

Kenny - Epic Beard.  I thought at first before the drag queen came in that they would have a gay person on the show that isn't completely flamboyant... but it looks like I'm wrong.  I can see him lasting long on the show, and plus he is the other Newfie so I hope he does well.

Kyle - Yes he is a meathead, but he has made me laugh quite a bit so far.  He is pretty much Jesse 2.0 (Jesse was on Big Brother 10 & 11).  The fact that he had the shirt peeled within 10 minutes of being in the house was hilarious.

Neda - Big Schnozz, Bad Attitude.

Paul - I've already talked about him and his breasts above.

Rachelle - Will you marry me?

Sabrina - ummmmmmmm.... I really have nothing to say about her, I guess she will float for a few weeks because she is just a fly on the wall.

Sarah - The mature, house Mom who just happens to be about the same age as I am (except I am not mature and thank God don't have any kids).  She hasn't left any sort of impression on me yet.  It's tough after two episodes I suppose!

Well that's it for me this week.  I know who won HOH, but I won't reveal it on this shitty blog, you can look it up yourself or wait until Sunday!  In future weeks I will reveal spoilers but will give you all an ample spoiler alert.  In the mean time give me a follow on the twitter on my new handle @HDH2112
