BBCAN4 Day 39
April 4, 2016
9:00-10:00 AM: Kelsey told Raul that she would make the brothers her target but she would tell them that they aren’t. She also mentioned nominating Cassandra and telling her too that she is not the target. Kelsey figures that it is best to nominate two people that you are fine with going home. She said that she would consider nominating a pawn if one of them were to win the PoV. Kelsey mentioned that Cassandra spent the morning complaining about Jared. Raul said she is so dumb. Kelsey said that she watched both Cassandra and the brothers saying “Jared and Raul” in many conversations last week. Kelsey let Raul know that when she was on stage somebody yelled out “don’t trust the brothers”. Raul said that he can’t believe someone said that but it is so good to know. Kelsey said the brothers are flying under the radar and have avoided going on the block even though they are such big players. Kelsey expects that Jared and the brothers will continue to target each other until one of them gets the other out. Raul said he hates the brothers so much now. Kelsey told him to be cool with them and act the same way that they have been acting towards them.
12:00-1:00 PM: The veto ceremony took place. Jared decided not to use the Power of Veto, meaning that either Joel or Mitch will be evicted on Thursday. Jared, Kelsey and Raul chatted out by the hot tub. Raul said that the words Mitch used in his speech pissed him off. Raul felt that Mitch was mean. Jared told Raul that he would not even bother talking to Mitch anymore if he were Raul. Raul said he has been giving Mitch his true friendship this whole time and he treats him like this. Jared said it proves everything that Kelsey told them about Mitch was true. Jared pointed out that they wanted to believe that it was untrue since it is Mitch, but it is true. Jared said they will get Mitch out. Kelsey said they had better because he will be after them if not. Kelsey believed that Mitch was lying when he said that he wanted to go to the end with the three of them. Out in the backyard, Mitch spoke Ramsey and told him that the trio will work really hard to get Joel on their side as their fourth. Mitch said he was with them because the four person probability of winning is so high. Ramsey figured that those three would have a lot of choices as to who to bring on board.
Mitch expects that Tim will be the the crucial person that he needs to get on board with keeping him, seeing as Cassandra and the brothers will vote with Tim. Ramsey thought that Tim would want Mitch to stay. Mitch pointed out that a 6-2 vote would mean that he would remain the target for Jared, Kelsey and Raul moving forward. Maddy joined them and said that Tim really like Mitch’s speech. They discussed that Tim wants an entertaining show. For that reason, Mitch thought that Tim would be willing to make the move against the powerhouse group by keeping him. Maddy liked that Mitch had called them fake in his speech. Maddy said they are fake to everyone else, including Cassandra and the brothers. Mitch explained that Jared, Kelsey and Raul had a named alliance with Cassandra yet they expected him to tell them everything that he was up to. Mitch let Maddy know that Jared, Kelsey and Raul are not afraid to lie, which was shown when they did not tell him that he was going to be nominated ahead of time. Maddy said Jared and Kelsey want she and Ramsey to trust them so much. Mitch said it is because they need them to take out the brothers. Mitch explained that they are trying to pit sides against each other and right now it is Maddy and Ramsey vs Cassandra and the brothers. Maddy told Mitch that she wants him to stay.
1:00-2:00 PM: Jared and Phil spoke in the bathroom. Phil said that he tries to deflect the target off of Jared whenever someone brings him up. Jared revealed that Mitch said after the last HoH competition that Nick was hinting that he would backdoor him. Phil called Mitch a liar. Jared said Kelsey let them know how much Mitch would go around from group to group. Phil said Mitch is trying to pit them against each other and he guaranteed that he will be voting Mitch out. Phil asked if Mitch ever named his targets. Jared said Mitch would always hint that he did not know where the brothers heads were at but his target was Cassandra. Jared said he is shocked that Mitch continues to deny everything even though Loveita said it all. They went over the votes and figured that Cassandra would be on their side. They were unsure about which way Tim would vote. Phil asked if Tim has ever told Jared that he wants to take him to the end. Jared said no. Phil said that he has not said that to him either. However, they both acknowledged that Tim has said he would like for one of them to win.
Raul told Kelsey that they have now seen who the real Mitch is. Raul said that they need to make sure that Nikki remains on their side. Kelsey plans to tell the others that Mitch’s speech was full of lies and it was harsh of Mitch to call them a cancer. Kelsey felt that they are the ones that bring the fun to the house. Kelsey said it was eye opening to see Mitch in this light, as it shows how very dangerous he is in the game. Kelsey added that everything she found out about Mitch being the mastermind is true based on how he has been acting. Kelsey said Mitch put himself in this position and it is hurtful how he talked about them. Cassandra joined them and said the way Mitch spoke of them made it seem as though they talk poorly about everyone behind closed doors. Cassandra said everyone is voting Mitch out and it showed that he was desperate. Kelsey said they got to see a new side of Mitch and it was scary. Cassandra figured that even Nikki will see Mitch’s true colours. Kelsey said that she will not be talking to Mitch anymore. Out in the backyard, Ramsey told Phil that they are going to need each other in this game. Ramsey pointed out that keeping Mitch in the game would be smart because it’s similar to how Phil wanted to keep Dallas in to go after Jared. Phil agreed but said that it is also different because Mitch is smart while Joel is beatable. Phil and Ramsey discussed the need to look out for each other. Phil let Ramsey know that he got Cassandra on board with going after Maddy before him.
Jared told Maddy that they have common targets next week, as they both want to go after Cassandra and the brothers. Jared said this week really threw everything off because they had to deal with Mitch now because Raul opened his big mouth. Maddy told Jared that to keep what they have going, it would be best for she and Ramsey to vote against them. Jared said he really hopes that they would want to vote out Mitch because they would then have the four votes to get Mitch out. Jared hoped that everyone would vote together, though he is not going to pressure anyone into doing anything. Jared pointed out that it would be nice to move forward together as a four, including Kelsey and Ramsey. Maddy asked if Raul knows about the four of them. Jared said no and that they do not want to tell him about it. Jared assured Maddy that Kelsey is back in the game with a new outlook. Jared said that it is the smartest move for them to work together at this point. Maddy agreed. Jared filled Maddy in on Mitch know that Kelsey and Raul were going to go on the block before it happened. Jared said Mitch only cried because he came to the realization that Raul may go home. Jared explained that Mitch wanted Kelsey’s spot working with he and Raul.
Tim told Cassandra, Maddy and Raul that it will be in the back of everyone’s mind that Mitch may work with the three or with someone from the three, such as Raul. Tim said Mitch might be right when he says this is bad for Raul’s game, but it doesn’t have to be that way. Tim pointed out that Mitch brought up one the one thing that could possibly get the house on board with keeping him because he explained that he could be used against the three. Tim told Raul that he will be honest about his vote and right now he thinks that he would be stupid to keep Mitch in the game. Raul said that Mitch is using people as a shield and trying to get two sides to fight against each other so that he can get through. Cassandra, Maddy and Tim agreed that Mitch’s game will have to change now that he has exposed his own game. Tim assured Raul that no decision has been made of yet.
2:00-3:00 PM: Nikki said she will get home and wonder why she didn’t tell Jared, Kelsey and Raul what she thinks of them. Mitch said that her time to do that is when she is on the block. Mitch explained that the three no longer have any power. Mitch felt as though they could convince Cassandra, Tim and the brothers to keep him. Nikki said Cassandra is wedged up the ass of those three. Nikki told Mitch to get to work. He said that there are three days and he does not want to waste everything that he has early on, especially after the way that the past couple of votes have went. Nikki then spoke to Cassandra and Maddy. Cassandra said that she is planning to keep Joel at the moment. Mitch joined and said that he would like to meet with everyone but the threesome and Joel at some point to lay something out. The girls said that they are open to listening.
4:00-5:00 PM: Nikki and Tim spoke in the bedroom. Nikki let Tim know that Mitch said he would be happy to work with Tim and sees him as the smartest one in there. Tim said Mitch has been weary of him since they walked in the house and that’s why he has yet to befriend him or attempt to work with him. Tim said Mitch’s game is based on decisions that are made by looking at probabilities. Tim said Mitch will continue to think that he is out to get him, even though he is not. Nikki said that she will be voting along with Maddy and Ramsey to keep Mitch. Tim said he will not make his decision until the day of the vote but it will be something that he decides on his own and he will not even talk to Cassandra about it. Tim questioned why they should give the power to Maddy and Ramsey by keeping Mitch around. He did admit that he would love nothing more than to be able to work with someone that understands how his brain works, which is something that Mitch is capable of. Tim said the others see Mitch as the only capable mastermind in the house, which is good for him. Tim explained that he won Big Brother by being that mastermind. He called himself Mitch with a personality. Tim wanted to have a guarantee from Mitch that the two of them would be working together moving forward and making the decisions together if he were to keep him. Nikki felt that keeping Mitch would be important because he could assist them in taking down Jared, Kelsey and Raul. Tim said Mitch will win the game if he makes it to the end, so they need to consider that.
5:00-6:00 PM: Tim told Nikki that he does not see Jared as the enemy. He suggested that Kelsey and Raul are the toxic pair. Nikki said Kelsey is poison and the house has changed so much since she returned. Nikki told Tim that she is glad Mitch shamed Jared, Kelsey and Raul during his speech. Tim felt that it was good for the house and for the show. Nikki said she does not think that Mitch wants Tim out, because he has never said anything like that to her. Tim explained that Mitch would not say that to her. He also explained that Mitch is the reason that she did not vote the way that he wanted her to last week. Ramsey joined them. Tim said that Mitch is the only person that will be able to convince him to keep him. Tim was concerned that Mitch and Raul would continue to work together moving forward. He said that they would need to be certain that they can get Mitch out at a later date if they keep him around this week. Nikki questioned how you get to the end without Mitch there to help take down Jared’s side. Tim told her that that is the dilemma. However, he said that he is not that concerned with a three person alliance. Ramsey pointed out that it’s not just three because they have the brothers wrapped around their fingers. Nikki bunched Cassandra in with that group as well. Nikki told Tim that Mitch is someone that he could get to the end with. Tim said he doesn’t think that he could beat Mitch so he has to decide if he would be happy with Mitch winning. The talk then turned back to last week’s vote. Tim told Nikki that Mitch did the one thing that he wasn’t willing to do, which was telling Nikki information in order to get her to change her vote. Ramsey said his understanding is that Nikki voted with Mitch because of how Dallas was confronting Mitch. Nikki said that Dallas frightened Mitch. Tim said that there is no bullying in the house and it is the safest place in the world. Tim wanted to get to the bottom of Mitch’s reasoning for wanting Dallas out, especially considering he would have wanted to target the very people that Mitch is now targeting.
Cassandra and Joel discussed the vote. Joel said he knows that he will not be getting Nikki’s vote. Cassandra didn’t think that he would be able to get Maddy or Ramsey’s votes either. That being said, Cassandra expressed confidence in Joel being able to get enough votes to stay. She said that Joel would have her vote, Tim’s vote, Jared’s vote, Kelsey’s vote and the brothers’ vote. Cassandra suggested that Joel play up the fact that Mitch played a part in his nominations when he nominated Kelsey and Raul. Joel said that is a reason for Jared and Kelsey to vote to keep him but it’s not good enough to tell the rest of the house. Cassandra disagreed and thought that it would show Mitch’s true character. Cassandra said that Mitch went against his alliance first even though he is playing it up as though he is the one that is being betrayed. Out by the pool, Tim told Jared, Kelsey and Phil that he has not yet decided which way he will be voting. Tim wanted to give Mitch a chance to talk to him before making up his mind. Tim did say that he would be honest about his vote once he decides what he will do with it. For now, Tim said that he will be voting Mitch out. Phil pointed out that Mitch is clearly the better player and bigger threat.
7:00-8:00 PM: Maddy and Ramsey discussed the vote. Maddy said that Jared, Kelsey and Raul really want them to vote Mitch out. Ramsey was not surprised. Maddy wondered what would happen if they vote for Mitch to stay and Jared and Kelsey get mad. Ramsey said that they would then continue to pressure people to vote their way all game and will end up winning the game. Ramsey suggested telling Jared and Kelsey that they are voting the opposite way to create an illusion that they are not working together. Maddy said that she already tried it and they are not buying it. Ramsey figured that it is still best to stick with that story. Maddy thought that Tim would vote with them because he likes having rivalries. Maddy and Ramsey agreed that Mitch needs to stay, though they could not agree on what impact voting that way would have on their relationship with Jared and Kelsey.
8:00-9:00 PM: Mitch gathered everyone but Jared, Kelsey, Raul and Joel in the pink room to explain some probabilities to them. He said that even though each individual will have a 10% chance of winning after this week, the fact that there is a three person group gives those three a ten times better chance of winning. Mitch said that he was playing the odds while working with those three, as a four person group had an even greater chance of winning. Mitch explained that they each have a 3.3% chance of winning now, which is worse than the 7.5% chance that they walked in the door with. Tim asked if Mitch will ever go back to those three. Mitch said that he will not and he will never be able to regain their trust. Mitch told everyone that he is willing to make deals and shake hands if needed. He said that he will target Jared, Kelsey and Raul if he stays in the game. Tim pointed out that Mitch will win the game if he makes it to the end, especially after what happened to him this week. Phil asked why he was told about Kelsey and Raul going on the block just prior to it happened. Mitch said that he did not know. Kelsey had earlier explained to Phil that Mitch wanted the brothers to know about the nominations in case anything went wrong, so that they could be blamed. After Mitch was done explaining everything, Tim said that he would like to know more about the plan moving forward. Mitch preferred to discuss that on an individual basis later on. Phil asked what Loveita and Mitch were doing together. Mitch said the same thing that he and Phil were doing together. Mitch explained that he had a relationship with Loveita but there was no official alliance. Nikki said that she is set in her decision and she will be supporting Mitch. It was then that Mitch brought up that a deal was made last week between Jared, Kelsey, Raul, Maddy, Ramsey and himself to target Cassandra and the brothers. Maddy, Nikki and Ramsey confirmed the story. Mitch suggested that those two could become the target again if he is out of the picture.
9:00-10:00 PM: Following Mitch’s meeting, Cassandra asked Maddy and Ramsey what they would do if they were in power. Cassandra thought that it was necessary to know that bit of information if she were to consider keeping Mitch. Maddy did not give much info. Cassandra pointed out that keeping Mitch would only give Maddy and Ramsey another secure vote to get her out should they decide to target her. Cassandra said she knows that Joel is not with Maddy and Ramsey, plus there is also something going on between Maddy, Mitch and Ramsey if they are 100% set on Mitch staying. Maddy insisted that they only want Mitch to stay because he is going after the people that are going to win. Elsewhere, Phil told Nick he trusts that they are four with Jared, Kelsey and Raul. He figured that Cassandra and Tim are on the outs of that group, though Tim is looking out for them. Nick said that Joel will have their backs but Mitch never will. Phil was not convinced by Mitch’s probabilities. He said that they can get down to the Final 4 and then have a good shot at winning HoH or the PoV.
In the bedroom, Cassandra confronted Raul about what Mitch had said with regards to a deal being made to target both her and the brothers. While Raul did not say that a deal was made, he did admit that he had thought about nominating Cassandra prior to Kelsey’s return. Raul mentioned that Kelsey saw Cassandra saying his name and Jared’s name in conversations with Dallas last week. Raul brought up that he is concerned that Cassandra is easily persuaded. Cassandra was not happy with the comment. She said she knows that Raul would be the first one in the group to come after her. She reiterated that she is with Jared, Kelsey and Raul 120%, so she does not need Raul to be doubting her and saying otherwise. Cassandra added that she trusts Jared and Kelsey 100% and needs to feel the same way about him. Cassandra explained that making stupid comments like that lead her to believe that Raul does not trust her. Raul said he has 90% trust in Cassandra, which was not enough for Cassandra’s liking. Kelsey joined them and clarified that she did not hear anything between Cassandra and Dallas and was only trying to read lips to find out what was being discussed. Cassandra assured Kelsey and Raul that she is voting Mitch out and she is working with them moving forward. Cassandra said that Maddy and Ramsey need to go up on the block together next week.
10:00-11:00 PM: Out by the hot tub, Phil spoke to Maddy and Ramsey. Ramsey questioned why nobody is scared of Joel staying in the game. Maddy pointed out to Phil that Joel will go to whoever is in power. While Maddy and Ramsey pushed for Joel to go, Phil admitted that he would be voting to evict Mitch at this point. Phil said that Mitch wanted him out at one point and is such a good player that can make things happen. Ramsey said he would make it further in the game with Joel there but he will not be able to win. Phil disagreed. Ramsey told Phil that he is fooling himself if he thinks that he can win the game if he is at the end with the threesome. Back in the bedroom, Cassandra and Tim discussed that they do not want to keep Mitch if it means strengthening Maddy and Ramsey. Cassandra said she does not want Mitch in the game if Maddy and Ramsey want him there. Tim agreed. Tim told Cassandra that he wants Jared, Kelsey and Raul to promise that Maddy and Ramsey will be the next to go. Tim decided that there was no point in waiting to tell Jared, Kelsey and Raul what they think. They found Kelsey and Raul and let them know that they will not be keeping Mitch in the game. However, Tim wanted to lead them on to think that they may keep Joel, in hope of having Maddy and Ramsey vote Joel out. Tim brought up wanting to make Maddy and Ramsey the next target. Kelsey said 100%. Tim let the two know that they enjoy their company and are not threatened by the three.
11:00-12:00 AM: Nikki spoke to Tim about keeping Mitch in the game. She said that she would be very surprised and slightly disappointed in Tim if he were to vote Mitch out. Tim explained that Mitch can only get four votes and has no shot at getting the five that he needs. Nikki felt that it would be a waste of a houseguest if Mitch were to go this week. Tim said that he does not want to empower Maddy and Ramsey. Nikki said that he would not be. Tim also believed that it would be impossible for Mitch to promise to work with him until the end. Nikki disagreed. Tim pointed out that Mitch would have to promise the same thing to Maddy and Ramsey as well. Nikki did not think so, saying that he is only promising to go after the threesome for them.
12:00-1:00 AM: Mitch said he has accepted that he cannot win the game anymore but it would be he said that it would be sweet to get his revenge before he leaves. Maddy told Mitch that Raul was speaking to her about whether or not it would be best to keep Mitch in the game when he is one vote for her as opposed to them who can offer multiple jury votes. Mitch said they would have to get them out for it to mean anything. Maddy agreed. Mitch said that he would nominate Jared with the intent of getting him out. He said that he would most likely nominate Raul next to Jared. Both Maddy and Mitch agreed that Jared is the most likely to win the game. Maddy let Mitch know that Jared and Kelsey have discussed a Final 4 deal with her and Ramsey. Mitch suggested that she use that information by going to the brothers and telling them. He felt that they could not trust that the trio would keep them safe when they were already talking about targeting the brothers last week.
