BBCAN4 Day 26
March 22, 2016
10:00-11:00 AM: Cassandra, Mitch, Nick, Phil and Tim chatted out by the hot tub. Tim said that his advice for anyone that wants to win Big Brother is to shoot for the stars and 100% dive into the crazy of Big Brother, because you have only got one chance. He said that is how he won his season. He explained that he was motivated to be the last person, yet he does not have the same motivation in this house. Tim wondered if he doesn’t want to win or if he is not trying hard enough because it’s a coping mechanism in the event that he fails. Phil told Tim that what he is saying is so beneficial. He figured that Tim may feel differently halfway through the game and decide that he wants to win. Tim agreed. Phil pointed out that right now people are seeing Tim as someone that they want to take to the end because he doesn’t want to win and will tell the jury to vote for someone else. Tim said if he likes the person. Tim mentioned that he would find it very hard to rob someone of the feeling that he felt in Australia in their own country. He suggested that it would be a nice bookend to his story to go from being the cutthroat person that had to be the last one standing to the person that has passed it on. He said that he would be proud of that and does not want two crowns in his cabinet.
11:00-12:00 PM: In the backyard, Maddy told Ramsey that as a group they will need to start thinking about who they want in jury. She said that they definitely do not want Kelsey in jury. Ramsey added Cassandra, Raul and Loveita's names to the list. Maddy felt that Mitch, Nikki, Tim and the brothers would be great to have in jury. Ramsey said that they can start nominating based on that. Maddy said that they wont have to worry about Kelsey because she is leaving this week. Ramsey suggested nominating Cassandra and Raul. The two discussed the vote. Ramsey said that Kelsey is the one that holds everything together and keeps Cassandra and the brothers linked to that side. Maddy figured that it would be a 7-3 vote as of this moment, with Cassandra, Jared and the brothers being the only ones keeping Kelsey. Maddy said that she would for sure nominate Loveita and Raul. Ramsey told her that they need to take down another one of the three. Maddy mentioned Tim as another option to be nominated next to Raul. Ramsey felt that Cassandra and Loveita have a love-hate relationship going on. Maddy disagreed and said that Loveita hates Cassandra with a passion. Maddy mentioned that Loveita has been living in Joel’s HoH room this week.
12:00-1:00 PM: Up in the HoH room, Joel asked Ramsey what everyone is thinking in terms of the vote. Ramsey said that it seems like Kelsey will be the one to go at this point. Ramsey thought that they would have enough votes to evict her without requiring Joel to break a tie. Ramsey gave Joel some advice, telling him not to spend so much time with Loveita and the people that he is close to. Joel said he knows that. Joel and Ramsey discussed that the two of them are good moving forward. Ramsey let Joel know that he will have nothing to worry about if he wins HoH next week. Ramsey asked which houseguest winning HoH would be the worst case for them in the event of a double eviction. They agreed that Raul would be up there. Ramsey asked if Cassandra would nominate Joel due to his association with Loveita. Joel said that it is possible, though he does not think that he would go home. Joel mentioned that the brothers must be relieved that a producer came on yesterday and said to stop with all of the ridiculousness about the brothers having two votes and all of that other stuff. Joel said that he always saw them as cool guys and it didn’t make much of a difference for him. Ramsey agreed.
1:00-2:00 PM: Dallas told Mitch that he is willing to give him his word that he will not nominate him, as long as Mitch gives his word that he will keep him off of the block. Mitch said that he is fine with that. Dallas let Mitch know that he does not want to gun for him and is fine with going far with him. Dallas explained that his strategy is to take out the big players. Dallas said he respects the game Mitch is playing and he has got his mind on bigger things. Mitch said that people will assume that he will go after Dallas and those associate with him but there is no reason for him to do the dirty work for others. Mitch brought up that people are trying to tell him that he is a top target for Dallas and Maddy. Dallas assured Mitch that he is not. Mitch pointed out that Dallas is a much bigger threat and that is why he needs him in the house. Dallas told Mitch that they can build trust as they go and Mitch will see that he can trust him if he wins HoH and does not nominate him. Dallas made it clear that Jared is his target. He said that he is intimidated by Jared and feels as though they will be signing the cheque over to him if they leave him around for more than another couple of weeks. Dallas said that he plans to vote Kelsey out this week and he is sure that Maddy will be doing the same thing.
4:00-5:00 PM: Cassandra told Maddy that she would not nominate her if she wins HoH. Cassandra said that Loveita is her target and she needs to go. Maddy said that she does not trust Loveita and does not care for her. Maddy said that if it’s not Cassandra that puts her up it will be her. They agreed that Jared is likely to nominate Loveita as well. They discussed that Loveita talks down to them and acts as though she is still the HoH. Cassandra said that Loveita is trying to get the girls out so that she can work with the big guys. Maddy wondered why Loveita feels the need to be mean. Maddy pointed out that she doesn’t like Kelsey but isn’t always picking fights with her like Loveita is with Cassandra and others that she does not like. They discussed that the HoH room is Loveita’s room this season. They agreed that Joel is getting sucked in by Loveita. Cassandra mentioned the possibility of them having a Final 2 deal. Cassandra asked if Dallas likes Loveita. Maddy said that neither Dallas nor Ramsey like her but they know how to tolerate the people that they don’t like.
5:00-6:00 PM: Phil asked Ramsey who he does not want to have in jury. Ramsey said that the two people that he has built the least rapport with are Cassandra and Raul. Phil said that his two would be Cassandra and Dallas. Phil let Ramsey know that his strongest relationships are with Ramsey and Mitch. Ramsey was surprised to hear that. Ramsey pointed out that everybody really trusts Mitch. Phil told Ramsey that Mitch is cool with him and that the two of them want Ramsey in the game. Ramsey said Cassandra has told him that she would not nominate him. Phil figured that she would nominate Dallas and Loveita. They discussed that the arguments between Cassandra and Loveita are so weird. Phil asked Ramsey how his relationship with Loveita is. Ramsey said it was good until he heard some stories about her and how she seems to be talking to everyone. Phil said that he likes Loveita but the house would be fine with her leaving. Ramsey thought that they would have to reassess how to use Nikki and Tim once they get to jury. Phil thought that Nikki would not vote against Ramsey and Tim would not vote against him, so they are useful people to have on their side. In the have-not room, Jared told Kelsey he currently has it in his head that he will vote for Raul to stay but the house will end up keeping Kelsey. Jared explained that it would allow him to do what he is supposed to do while still getting what he wants. Jared said that he would feel terrible if it ended up being his vote that sent Kelsey home. Jared asked Kelsey who she would choose if Raul were next to him on the block. Kelsey said that she would probably choose Jared. Kelsey found it interesting that Jared was not nominated next to her. Jared figured that people wanted to work with him, which made Kelsey wonder why people don’t want to work with her.
6:00-7:00 PM: Jared and Kelsey asked Tim for his thoughts on the vote. Tim said he thinks that Kelsey currently has the numbers. He said people think that Raul wants it more and will fight harder. Kelsey said people are thinking that she is throwing in the towel. Tim told her to let people think that because it helps her chances of staying. Tim let Jared and Kelsey know that he is thinking about nominating Maddy and Ramsey, using Dallas as the replacement nominee if the PoV is used. Tim called Loveita the fiercest player in the house. He said that she is too smart to let go to the other side. He observed that she has changed who she hangs out with every week, so it will be hard to pin her down to one side. Tim said that Loveita has not spent a single minute with Joel since his power was up. Tim said that Joel can see it and was almost in tears yesterday because he fears that the way she is acting around him is going to ruin his game. The discussion then changed back to this week’s vote. Tim asked what the purpose of Jared giving a vote to Raul would be. Jared said that the house will keep Kelsey anyway. Kelsey brought up the fact that Mitch is campaigning for Raul and he is smart so he will know what points to make in order to get people to vote her out. They talked about how they will still have Mitch, Nikki and the brothers available to work with even if Raul leaves. Meanwhile, out by the hot tub, Mitch and Phil said that they will be trying to win HoH. Mitch was worried about his earlier talk with Dallas. Mitch figured that Dallas would tell all of them that he is protecting them. Nick thought that Jared may make a deal with Dallas if Kelsey is gone. Phil told Nick that he is wrong. Mitch said Jared would be silly not to target Dallas. Mitch and Phil agreed that they would be voting to evict Kelsey.
In the bedroom, Joel told Cassandra that he has heard Ramsey say a couple of times that she is always talking to a lot of people. Joel said that Cassandra is likely more of a target for Ramsey than for anyone else in the house. Cassandra said that she should nominate Ramsey and Dallas if she wins HoH. She then changed her mind and said that she should nominate Maddy and Ramsey, leaving Dallas as the backdoor option. In the event of an instant eviction, Cassandra thought that it may be best to nominate Nikki next to Ramsey in order to ensure that Ramsey goes. Joel told her that she would really have to let people know that Nikki is the pawn. Joel suggested that Tim would be the better pawn because you don’t know how Nikki would react to it. Cassandra thought that it was a good idea and that it would be payback for Tim voting her out. A short while later, Cassandra mentioned the plan to Tim. She told him that he would be the perfect pawn. Tim said that he could be and he has brought it up before that he could be used as one. They both agreed that they would just need to determine if he would have the numbers before making such a move. They discussed possible nomination options. Both felt that there would be no reason to go after Jared and whoever remains between Kelsey and Raul. Cassandra said that they are with them and that Jared wants to go to the end with the two of them. Tim said that he would love to be at the end with Cassandra and Jared. He mentioned that he would be willing to bow out at that point. Cassandra preferred that he fight for the win. As for the others, Tim thought that there would be no reason to nominate Joel, Mitch or the brothers. That left Dallas, Loveita, Maddy and Ramsey as the options.
7:00-8:00 PM: Phil spoke to Kelsey. She asked Phil if he will at least tell her when he makes up his mind about his vote. Phil guaranteed her that he will let her know. Phil wondered how often people were talking about the whole brothers thing in the diary room. He figured that it would be talked about less so now since it was cleared up that they are one until the end. Kelsey told him that some people are not happy with that but they can’t talk about it, in reference to the clarification that was made. Kelsey said it’s weird that Mitch is campaigning for Raul. Jared joined them. He said that Ramsey is claiming that he will vote with the house. Phil said that Mitch made some really good arguments for keeping Raul. Phil told Jared and Kelsey that it would make sense for his game to vote Kelsey out. Jared asked if that’s what he is going to do. Phil explained that he wants the strongest possible team to go after Dallas. While Jared mentioned Dallas saying that he wants the brothers out next a couple of days ago, Phil told Jared that Dallas said he is going after Jared yesterday. Jared said Dallas offered a deal in which they would agree to target the brothers first, though he told Phil that he will not nominate them. Phil said he would not put Jared up either. They agreed that Dallas needs to go. Phil asked Jared about his vote. Jared said it may be better to keep Raul for strategic reasons but he wants Kelsey to stay.
Jared and Phil headed outside to talk. Phil let him know that he will be keeping Raul as of now. Jared said that is all that he needed to know. Jared told Phil not to be chatting with Dallas, because he comes to him daily to talk about Phil. Phil said he believes him. They discussed that they both had the same conversation with Dallas except he changed his target. Phil let Jared know that he wants Dallas and Loveita out in that order, followed by Maddy or Joel. Jared said he thinks the same way. They wondered who they could nominate next to Dallas in order to ensure that he would go. Phil thought that Joel would be the best option. Jared said he originally felt that way but he is now thinking that he would nominate Maddy next to Dallas. They both agreed that Ramsey is a great guy. However, Jared was frustrated that Ramsey continually changes his answer about which way he is going to vote. Phil said he is now done with some people but he will be telling his allies everything. Jared admitted that he will be throwing a vote Kelsey’s way, cause he knows that Raul will likely stay by a 7-3 vote. Jared assumed that Cassandra and Tim would be the only other votes to evict Raul.
8:00-9:00 PM: Jared told Kelsey that he will be nominating Dallas and Maddy if he wins HoH. He revealed that the brothers are annoying him too. He pointed out that Phil said Dallas has him third on his hit list. That led Jared to believe that Phil had been throwing him under the bus to Dallas. Jared said he is mad that Kelsey has to leave, because he will now have to deal with all of the snakes in the house. Jared let Kelsey know that Phil is planning to vote her out. Jared was annoyed that Phil told him that Dallas is good with him and is now going after Jared again. Jared said that he lost it on Big Brother over the whole brothers situation. He felt that it was unfair and completely messed up his game, as he was banking on everyone not liking the brothers. Jared pointed out that helping someone, the brothers, hindered someone else.
