BBCAN4 Day 56 - Maddy is evicted; Cassandra becomes the new HoH
April 21, 2016
1:00-2:00 PM: Phil told Maddy to do what she has got to do. He suggested that she talk to Jared and let him know that Cassandra has told everybody that she will nominate Jared and Kelsey. Phil encouraged Maddy to spill the beans and be powerful. As for Joel, Phil thought that it would be best to let him know that Maddy’s targets would be Cassandra, Nikki and the brothers. He wanted Maddy to clarify that the brothers know that. Maddy said she cannot talk to Kelsey but she can talk to Jared who will talk to Kelsey. Maddy told Phil that Cassandra is wanting to vote for her to stay. She worried that Cassandra would not vote for her if she says that she is targeting her. Before Maddy left, Phil told her to be powerful and not be a pushover. Nick said she cannot be emotional.
Maddy spoke to Jared in the high roller room. She advised him to be careful about Nikki because she is going to go after Cassandra and Kelsey. Maddy then said Tim talked really badly about Jared and Kelsey to Ramsey. Jared said he knows that and Tim will be the next person she will put up. Jared let Maddy know that he personally wants her to stay in the house but he cannot change his vote. Jared said he would be in trouble if he goes out and campaigns for her. Maddy said Cassandra is willing to vote for her if she gets the numbers so she is trying to get Jared and Joel. Jared thought that Cassandra was feeding Maddy lies. Maddy said she may be but Cassandra is scared and wants her in the game to take out the brothers. Jared said he does not want to make waves with the brothers. Maddy told Jared that the brothers know she has a chance to stay and they are impartial to it. Jared said Maddy needs to talk to Kelsey and he will switch his vote if she will. Jared explained that he cannot be in the house with two girls that are constantly fighting, which is the big issue for him. Jared said he is voting Maddy out for Kelsey’s sake and he would prefer to keep her for strategic reasons. Jared said it boils down to nobody wanting to rock the boat. Maddy agreed and said it’s hard because she knows that people want her to stay but they don’t want to be the first to bring it up. Jared asked who Maddy would nominate. Maddy said the brothers and Cassandra for sure because she needs one of them to leave.
2:00-3:00 PM: Maddy campaigned to Joel in the high roller room. Maddy told Joel that he needs to know a few things before she goes. Maddy warned Joel that Nikki has said his name before and she will go with Tim no matter what. Maddy said Tim is someone to watch out for because he has been evil towards those who he is close to. Maddy explained that Jared is on board with keeping her because he knows that it would allow them to stay out of the spotlight for longer. Maddy said Tim is trying to turn everyone against each other. Maddy wanted Joel to know that he will not be on her radar until there is no choice but to go after each other. Joel said he admires the fact that Maddy plays the game fearlessly. Maddy told Joel that Cassandra and the brothers actually want her to stay in the house. Joel said that he and Cassandra have questions about Tim for sure after what happened yesterday. Maddy said she isn’t going to sway his vote but she would like for him to talk to Jared about it if he is interested in keeping her. Maddy said she may be annoying. Joel told Maddy that she is not and that everything she said yesterday made sense as well. Maddy again mentioned that Cassandra is willing to keep her, adding that it’s because she is scared of Jared and the brothers. Joel let Maddy know that he appreciates that she came and talked to him to campaign.
Jared told Kelsey about his chat with Maddy, saying she wants to get Cassandra and the brothers out. Jared said Maddy told him that Tim called Kelsey a toxic person and also that Nikki is planning to go after the girls. Kelsey found it mean that Tim called her a toxic person and said maybe they should go to Joel and tell him that they want Tim out. Jared said he let Maddy know that he would not keep her in the game if Kelsey is not on board with it even though he sees the logic behind the move. Jared told Kelsey he is 100% fine with getting rid of Maddy if that is what she wants to do. Jared pointed out that Maddy would be a good competitor in the mental comps and Tim would not be, though Tim is someone who could be coming after them. Phil came by and told Jared and Kelsey to do whatever they feel is right. He said he knows that Maddy would come after him before Jared and Kelsey but he is fine with them doing what they want. Jared asked Phil what he would do. Phil said he would vote Tim out. After Phil left, Jared questioned why Phil would be okay with Maddy staying in the house if she is truly coming after the brothers.
Tim told Phil he has heard things that he has said about him in the past few days. Phil asked if that means he will not be working with him if he stays. Tim said they will talk about it if he stays. Phil mentioned that he too has heard things that Tim has said about him. Nikki told Tim to relax because he will be staying. Tim said there are people who are potentially jumping. Tim said if the things he heard are true then there is no point in talking about it because he will not be there next week anyway. Tim said he heard that Maddy was no longer the target once Ramsey left. Phil said Maddy has been the target all along. Tim went to Jared and Kelsey and told them that Maddy will beat him in any kind of mental competition. Jared and Kelsey assured Tim that he does not have to worry and they are voting to keep him, though Kelsey said some of the things she heard weren’t very nice. Tim said they were probably untrue. Kelsey said Maddy is trying to convince them that Cassandra and Tim are playing them. Tim said it is not true and that they would be more than happy to take out the brothers. Jared said there was no way they could trust someone who has put him on the block twice already. Tim then spoke to Maddy and pointed out that she had said she wouldn’t campaign behind closed doors. Maddy said it’s too late now. He said that’s pretty low and he is hearing lots of lies that she said. Tim wished her good luck and walked away.
3:00-4:00 PM: Phil was concerned about his talk with Tim. Joel told Phil that he knows Phil has his back and he has Phil’s back. Joel assured Phil that they are all on to Tim and they will support Phil. Phil pointed out that getting rid of Tim would render Cassandra and Nikki useless. Tim pulled Cassandra aside and said Maddy is claiming she has the votes to stay. Cassandra said Maddy doesn’t have her vote and Jared and Kelsey will not switch either. Tim told Cassandra that the brothers are coming after them. Cassandra said she knows. Cassandra called Jared into the room and questioned why Maddy is saying she has Jared and Kelsey’s votes. Jared assured Cassandra and Tim that they are not switching their vote. Cassandra told Jared that Maddy said the brothers told her they only wanted her out to break up the duo with Ramsey but then they wanted to get Tim out this week followed by Jared next week. Tim said it’s good to know for next week that the brothers were prepared to do that. Jared revealed that Phil had brought up getting Tim out twice. Tim said the only thing they can’t have is the brothers winning the PoV next week. Cassandra went to Kelsey next. Kelsey said there is no way she is listening to anything Maddy has to say. Cassandra told Kelsey she does not want her to think that she is coming after her. Kelsey said she knows that Cassandra would not do that. Tim asked what Maddy was trying to pitch to Joel. Cassandra said Phil told Joel that there would be a Final 4 deal with Joel, Jared, Kelsey and the brothers if Tim goes. Tim said he thinks that’s true that Phil is trying to do that. Kelsey said they do not have a deal with Phil. Cassandra said they have to get the brothers out this week. Kelsey said they will go.
Cassandra told Joel she doesn’t understand why Phil would burn bridges and go against people who would have his back when he cannot even compete for HoH next week. Joel asked if Tim has ever said anything negative about him. Cassandra said no and mentioned he wants to go to the Final 3 with them. Cassandra asked if the brothers will go after she and Tim or Jared and Tim. Joel didn’t think that they were after Jared any longer. He said they see Cassandra, Nikki and Tim as a threesome. Joel spoke with Tim and told him that he is safe. He said he did not believe what Maddy said with regards to Nikki or Tim speaking poorly about him. Joel said Tim has always been consistent with him and followed through when he promised him a vote. Kelsey then spoke to Joel and asked if Cassandra and Tim have said anything to him about going after Jared or herself. Joel said no. Kelsey said that was Maddy’s big pitch. Joel said she also brought up that Tim and Nikki were talking so much crap about him. Kelsey informed Jared that Joel is playing both sides and has been telling Cassandra and Tim everything that they are telling him. Jared let Kelsey know that Maddy said Cassandra keeps asking her if she should go after Jared or the brothers first. Kelsey said they should stick to the plan and target the trio of Cassandra, Nikki and Tim. Kelsey said Tim would be the target but they will be happy if either of the other two leave as well. Jared was on board with that. Kelsey mentioned that Cassandra kept asking if they have a Final 3 with the brothers. Kelsey asked Cassandra why she is saying that and Kelsey said her response was that Joel has been telling them things. Jared said they cannot trust anyone. Jared wondered if they should confront Joel later on. Kelsey said yeah. She pointed out that he is in the middle and is talking to everyone.
8:00-9:00 PM: During tonight’s eviction episode, Maddy was evicted by a unanimous vote of 5-0. The houseguests found out that winning HoH would be out of their hands this week as their family members were left to compete on their behalf.
10:00-11:00 PM: Live feeds returned and we found out that Cassandra is the new HoH. Tim told her this is fate because don’t seem to be as safe as they had thought. He said Jared and Kelsey wanted to vote him out and he would have been gone had they got Joel on their side. Cassandra said she thinks they need to get the brothers out. Tim agreed and said the only issue is if the brothers win the PoV. Cassandra spoke to Kelsey next and asked what Jared told her. Kelsey said he advised her to be careful of what she says to people this week. Kelsey thought that they had reason to be weary of Tim. Kelsey told Cassandra to be concerned about Tim, Nikki and the brothers but especially watch out for Nikki and the brothers. Cassandra agreed. Kelsey admitted she will continue to be weary of Tim but said it would be fun if they were in the Final 4. Cassandra revealed that the brothers are her target. Her concern with putting Nikki up is that they would then have two weak players competing for the PoV; Nikki and herself. She said she would have to hope that Jared, Kelsey and Tim get drawn to play.
12:00-1:00 AM: In the kitchen, Kelsey let Jared know she said it’s best for Cassandra’s game to go after the brothers even though she has no issue with them. Jared cautioned her to watch what she says to Cassandra. Jared figures that Cassandra will cut a lot of deals this week in order to set herself up well moving forward. Tim joined them asked what they think Cassandra should do. Kelsey said she had told Cassandra it is probably best for her game to go after the brothers. Tim agreed and asked if it should be Nikki and the brothers or two pawns. Kelsey asked Tim what he thought. Tim said there is such a low chance of the brothers not being picked to play in the veto competition that it may not be worth the risk to have them play, win the PoV and not use it. Jared said that is a risk that he would not be willing to take. Tim wondered if Cassandra could sell it to the brothers that they are the pawn and Nikki is the target because she is going after Cassandra. Jared and Kelsey didn’t think that the brothers would buy it. Jared said Cassandra has to own the move if she is going to make it. In the bedroom, Phil told Nick that they can try to talk to Cassandra and Tim tomorrow but they are likely going on the block. Nick agreed. Phil said they will blow the house up if they are nominated cause that’s what he came there to do. Nick pointed out that Cassandra’s dad can’t win the PoV for her too. Nick thought that Jared would use it on them if he were to win it.
1:00-2:00 AM: Cassandra, Joel and Tim met up in the HoH room to discuss nominations. Joel pointed out that they are in the Final 6 and will be three of the six. They went over how they have the ability to control the vote this week and get whoever they want out. Joel let the two know that Jared, after talking to Maddy, questioned if they are making the right decision by keeping Tim. Joel asked if Jared and Kelsey legitimately believe that Cassandra, Nikki and Tim are a three. Tim said they might. Joel figured that it could be advantageous to them because they could vote Nikki out if Jared were to win HoH and put her on the block next to one of them. They agreed that Nikki and the brothers should be the initial nominees. Cassandra said they will have to smooth it over with Nikki. Tim said he is willing to talk to her and he thought she may be more understanding now that he has offered to be a pawn. Tim brought up telling Jared that Kelsey will be replacement nominee if the brothers win the PoV but Nikki will be the target. As for the brothers, he said they could tell the brothers that Jared would go up. They had talked about targeting Nikki if the brothers were to win the PoV. However, Tim asked if they would ever go after Kelsey if that happened. Cassandra said they could go straight for Jared rather than target Kelsey. Joel agreed and said it would be the brothers and Kelsey against the rest of them in the HoH competition. Cassandra said she would prefer that the brothers just not win the PoV. They agreed to talk further tomorrow.
