Big Brother Canada 6 Day 28 - Erica is the new HoH
March 30, 2018
11:00-12:00 PM: The live feeds returned after being down for over 20 hours. Erica is the new HoH. The have-nots for the week are Ali, Johnny, Kaela and Merron.
12:00-1:00 PM: In the pantry, Paras spoke to the cameras about her allies being incapable of winning anything. Paras said the more they lose, the more they are going to be picked off. Paras talked about not wanting to sacrifice her long term game by winning too early, but they will have no one left at this rate. Paras said Maddy clearly can’t win, Ryan clearly can’t win, Will is sitting comfortable and may not even want to win, and Merron is the first one out every time. Paras said she thinks that she has to start winning, though it would be three strong competitors against her. Paras called Kaela a straight up liar about everything. Paras said she trusts Derek way more, so she thinks that she can work with him if Kaela is gone. Paras said Kaela made herself a target by making a Final 2 with everyone. Paras said she needs another strong person who totally has her back, in order to alternate wins. Paras wondered if she should go for the win next week in order to take her shot. She mentioned nominating Ali and Olivia. Down the road, she said she is getting rid of Kaela. Paras added that Kaela is dead to her in this game. Up in the HoH room, Erica wondered if she should nominate Will next to Maddy. She mentioned that pawns do go home though. Ali said there is no chance. Erica thinks that those nominations would force Johnny and Paras to evict Maddy instead of potentially evicting Merron if he goes up next to Maddy again. Erica said she will be livid if it backfires, because she wants Will in the house. Ali said she doesn’t know if it is worth the risk, but nobody has the numbers to do anything about it. Erica brought up that Will is brilliant in terms of knowing the days and the order that people were eliminated from competitions, which she sees as a huge asset to them.
1:00-2:00 PM: In the white room, Derek and Will discussed that they were likely up until 3 AM and then they were woken up at 7 or 8 AM for the competition this morning. Will said he was still drunk when he woke up. Will said he didn’t care if he won or not, as long as he didn’t end up being a have-not. The guys discussed that it’s time to get rid of some floaters now that a few big targets have left. Will said he would prefer to see Merron or Ryan go. Will listed Maddy, Merron and Ryan as the floaters. Derek asked if Paras is kind of a floater too. Will said she is. They both agreed that Erica will likely nominate Maddy again. There were talks about getting a female out this week so that the girls cannot just pick the guys off. Derek said he might push for a girl to go. In the kitchen, Derek talked to Kaela about how it will likely be a unanimous vote to evict Maddy. They both said that Will doesn’t seem to care if she goes based on what he was saying last night. Kaela thinks that Johnny will be the only one not wanting Maddy out. She wants to get some of Johnny’s people out so that he has to stay on their side. Kaela said they have to win HoH the next two weeks. Derek said they have Paras and Will on the side, then they have their five. Derek wants to make sure that they take the first shot at the five when they start to split. In the red room, Johnny told Olivia it was weird that Ali and Erica were suggesting that he might have Maddy, Paras and Will as a backup plan. Johnny said that is not the case. Johnny and Olivia then discussed that Olivia and Will were kissing a lot last night. Olivia said Will told her that she is perfect and is the type of woman that he looks for. Olivia said Will is so cute and smarter than people give him credit for. Johnny said it was weird that it was Olivia and Paras again after the whole thing with Jesse. Johnny let Olivia know that Paras and Will were making out as well. Olivia didn’t remember that.
2:00-3:00 PM: Olivia told Johnny she was telling people that Paras was Jesse’s second choice. Johnny said Olivia also brought up that she wishes Jesse was there. Olivia explained that she just wanted him there to make out with. Johnny said Paras probably hates the fact that she kissed someone on camera again, given that it bothers her that her family is watching. Olivia later brought up that Paras is the sneakiest of anyone in the house. Johnny deflected, saying she is just the most likely to speak without thinking. Olivia said that’s a good point. Out by the hot tub, Paras talked to Erica about how one of Maddy, Merron and Ryan will go home this week. She said she wonders why everyone is so afraid to take a shot at Derek and Kaela. Erica said she is not afraid to target them but she feels more comfortable having them in the game as targets. Erica explained that they are targets for the same reason that Ali and Olivia are, because they are a duo. Paras said she tried to find her person but she didn’t, which might have worked out better for her. Erica said Hamza was her person but she could not get behind his game. Paras said there is a bit of that with her when it comes to Maddy. Paras said she genuinely believes that Maddy will vote with them for as long as they need her to. Paras said Maddy was there for her when no one else was, so she will likely be the one vote on Maddy’s side if and when it comes down to her going home.
4:00-5:00 PM: Derek told Ali he knows that Will wants Ryan to go but he doesn’t think he would be scared to vote out Maddy. Ali said she thinks that he would push for Ryan to go because Johnny, Paras and Will would want to keep Maddy. Derek pointed out that their side has four votes no matter what, so they only need to get one more. Ali said Paras has been weirding her out. She let Derek know that Paras asked Erica why everyone is so scared to take a shot at Daela. Derek said Paras keeps bringing that up. Ali said Paras questioned why she wouldn’t take a shot at Daela the night before the double eviction as well.
5:00-6:00 PM: Maddy let Johnny know that Kaela told her she “wouldn’t hate this Final 2” in reference to the her and Kaela. Johnny said that’s something that Maddy could share with Ali, Erica and Olivia. Maddy said she is hesitant to do so but she will happily say it if she is led into it. Maddy talked about Paras being freaked out since Erica wants to go after floaters. Maddy said Erica told Paras that she is considering making the same nominations as last week. In the HoH room, Olivia asked Erica who she would like to nominate. Erica said she would like to see Maddy go but she doesn’t see that happening very easily within their group. Erica said she needs to understand why Johnny values Maddy so much. Ali joined them. She said Maddy wants her to accompany her for her talk with Erica. Ali thinks that Maddy is really trying to show her loyalty, whereas Paras is not. Erica said she cannot be the one to backstab Paras, especially since they are no longer pre-jury. Johnny said he wants to keep people around who will target Daela. Olivia said she feels like Johnny thinks they wont do it, but they will eventually. Ali said she is not worried about that at all since they will take the shot later. Erica reiterated that she wants a floater out this week. Olivia asked who they can nominate next to Merron that wont piss anyone off. Erica said she doesn’t even know if she can put Merron up. Johnny said he doesn’t know if Merron doesn’t need to go up. Erica said she is trying to think from a jury management perspective, and she doesn’t know if Merron goes if he is nominated. Johnny said they have the numbers. Olivia said she could nominate Merron and Ryan again, because they have the numbers to get Merron out. Johnny argued that there is no need to go after anyone else when Merron and Ryan have already been shot at. Johnny added that Maddy has expressed an interest in working with them. Erica asked if they would rather work with Maddy than Paras or Will. Johnny said he thinks that Maddy and Will would be a better combination. Erica said she doesn’t want to be the one to send Paras home. Erica admitted she is nervous about getting to seven with her, Ali and Olivia on one side, Maddy, Paras and Will on the other side, and Johnny in the middle. Johnny said they know which side he would lean to. Erica again said she just wants to get a floater out, and she doesn’t care which of the four it is. She said Merron would be great. Erica and Olivia discussed that Merron seems to be pissed off at Olivia. Johnny said they can likely convince Ryan to target Daela if he wins HoH. He also said Maddy is likely to target those two if they make her feel comfortable, as are Paras and Will. Erica said she doesn’t hate that idea at all if Maddy is willing to commit to them.
6:00-7:00 PM: Paras joined the discussion in the HoH room. Johnny asked her which floater is her pick to go this week. Paras said probably Merron. Johnny said he was thinking the same thing. Olivia said Merron is pissed at her and probably mad at Erica as well. Paras said Maddy will vote with them, and Ryan wants to go with the house. Kaela was the next to speak to Erica. Erica let her know that Paras asked why everyone is so afraid to take a shot at the showmance. Erica suggested that Paras might be on to them, so she is trying to put a wedge between them. Erica and Kaela agreed that they feel good about their five with Derek, Ali and Olivia. Kaela said yesterday really solidified that she can trust them. Erica revealed that she thinks she wants to target Merron this week. While Erica had thought about targeting Maddy, she said she doesn’t want Johnny, Paras and Will to be coming after her because of that move. Erica said she might nominate Merron and Ryan. Maddy would then be the replacement nominee if either of them win the veto. Erica asked if Kaela is fine with sending Merron out before Ryan. Kaela said she is fine with whatever. Though Kaela is concerned about Ryan, Erica argued that they would have the numbers to save Kaela over Derek even if Ryan put them up and neither of them were able to win the veto.
7:00-8:00 PM: The girls then discussed that Johnny is in good with everyone, and he fights hard to protect Maddy. Erica said Johnny will end up pissing a lot of people off if he wins HoH and draws a line, because everyone thinks that he has their back. She also said he wont be in a good place with the jurors. Similar to their talks about Johnny, Erica and Kaela discussed Will being in good with everyone. Erica and Kaela discussed how amazing it is that the two of them, Ali and Olivia are able to be four dominant women working together. Erica said they need to flip things quickly since it has been dominant player after dominant player leaving the house. Erica said she wants to get a floater out this week while still ensuring that they are good for next week if Maddy, Paras or Will win HoH. Erica said nominating Merron and Ryan seems to be the way to do it. Merron spoke to Erica to see where her head is at. Erica explained that the only reason why Merron makes her nervous is that anyone on the block next to him would go home. Merron pointed out that everyone loves Will as well, and they have won the same number of competitions. Merron thinks he is viewed different because he doesn’t express his emotions as much as Will does, but that’s how he is. Erica said Merron is right that Will’s lack of emotional control is benefitting him.
8:00-9:00 PM: Merron told Erica he is not going after her. He asked that she not put him up. Merron said there are others that Erica should be more worried about than him. Merron asked if Erica is considering putting him up. Erica said she is considering it because she wants to target someone who is not as big of a target as she is. Erica listed off Merron, Ryan, Paras, Maddy and Will as potential options. Of the five, she said she is mostly considering Maddy, Merron and Ryan. Erica said Merron wouldn’t even get a chance to play for the veto if she nominates Maddy and Ryan, and one of them pulls themselves down. Merron said he doesn’t want to make it seem like he is saying to put Will up, but he doesn’t want to go up himself. Merron said there are other options besides himself that would allow Erica to still make a low key move. Erica worried that Ryan will go home over Maddy. She listed off Johnny, Paras and Will as votes against Ryan. She also said that Derek and Kaela do not like Ryan either. Should Maddy stay over Ryan, Erica thinks that the trio of Maddy, Paras and Will would then come after her. Merron said he sees what she is saying. The two agreed to talk again before nominations. Erica said she will let Merron know whether or not she is going to put him up. Erica spoke to Maddy, letting her know that she feels as though she is in a good spot with her after last week. Maddy said that’s good to hear since their last talk did not start like that. Erica said she likes that Maddy is a strong woman, and it would be wicked to see a bunch of women make it to the end together. Maddy said she wouldn’t hate that. Erica revealed that she would like to see Merron go over Ryan. Maddy said she has to make a good case then, because she thinks that Ryan would go over Merron.
9:00-10:00 PM: Outside, Will let Johnny know that Ali told Ryan he went up because Johnny didn’t want Maddy on the block. Johnny was not happy about that. Will asked Johnny who is going to be the one to get Erica out. Johnny said it’s not even a discussion worth having at this point, though he gets what Will is saying. Will then asked if Merron is going up. Johnny said he thinks so. Will said that’s good since Merron said he would be pissed, and then he will go after Erica if he wins. Johnny reminded Will that it’s important they remain united. Johnny expressed interest in getting Derek and Kaela out. Will said he plans to nominate those two if he wins HoH next week. Johnny said he would want the second member of the showmance to leave the next week as well. Will said the two of them should make a Final 2. Johnny said he feels like they already kind of have one. Will agreed. Will said he would like to send Ryan out over Merron this week. In the white room, Paras checked in with Derek. She said she wants to work with the showmance but they wouldn’t even tell her which way they were voting last week. Derek explained that he told her without telling her, but they just didn’t like that people were saying their two votes were the deciding votes last week. They agreed to talk more moving forward. Paras said she is excited that Will brought up last night that the two of them should work with Derek and Kaela. Derek said Will was excited about it when he brought it up to him. They talked about Will being in good with everyone, similarly to Johnny. Elsewhere, Johnny too Erica that Ali told Ryan she didn’t want him to be put up but he freaked out about Maddy going up. Johnny said he was blamed for Ryan’s nomination. Erica wondered why Ali would tell Ryan that. Johnny said Ali also told Maddy that her and Olivia were the reason that she was taken off of the block. Erica said she doesn’t know who to trust at all. Johnny said that Ali and Olivia are likely trying to cover their bases. Erica warned Johnny that he is being lumped in with Will in terms of being someone who is good with everyone. Erica wondered at what point Ali and Olivia will view them as disposable. Both Erica and Johnny agreed that the girls don’t want to go to the Final 4 with them. Erica told Johnny she needs to hear more from him since she gets sketched out by him sometimes due to not talking. They discussed that Paras is playing all sides. Erica asked why Maddy, Paras and Will being together doesn’t worry him. Johnny said he feels good with Maddy and with Will. Erica said Paras is playing harder than they give her credit for. She noted that Paras talks to Derek and Kaela a lot.
10:00-11:00 PM: Erica told Derek she doesn’t want to do the same nominations as last week. She said that’s boring and she feels bad for Merron. Derek said he was thinking the same thing too. Derek agreed that targeting a floater is the right move. He said Merron is less threatening than Maddy and Ryan are. Derek said he had considered nominating Will but he didn’t want to piss of Maddy and Paras. Erica called Will “Merron on steroids”. Erica said Will has connections with people, so he will not go home. Derek let Erica know that Paras is wary of Will because she caught him in a small lie. Derek and Erica then discussed that Paras talks crap about a lot of people. Erica said nothing that you say to Paras is safe. Derek asked Erica if she feels good with Johnny. Erica said she would feel good with Johnny if she was Derek. Erica said she doesn’t think that he is on Johnny’s radar. Derek said Johnny is readable, so he is pretty confident that Johnny isn’t in on a big alliance. Erica said she doesn’t think that Johnny would be this paranoid if he was. Derek once again brought up that there is no point in sending Merron out this week. Derek thinks Merron can continue to be used as a pawn until they don’t want him in there any longer. Derek talked about targeting Ryan instead. Later, Erica told Ali that she feels better every time that she talks to Derek and Kaela. Ali told Erica that Ryan went up to them in the bathroom to say that they now have a mutual target since Olivia has put him up. Ali said Ryan claimed that he will put the duo up, implying that she will go up next to Olivia. Erica asked if they want Ryan to go this week. Ali advised Erica not to make any promises to Ryan, so that they have the option to send him out.
11:00-12:00 AM: Erica told Ryan it’s an easy option to put him on the block, though getting him out does not benefit her. Ryan said it’s easy to put people like Maddy, Merron and himself up, but the target on her back is not going to get any smaller by doing that. Ryan said getting him out would mean she has one less vote down the road. Ryan also said that the trio of Maddy, Paras and Will is not a threat to Erica since they are not coming after her. He said Ali and Olivia are stronger than those people. Ryan explained that the only power move for a power player is to eliminate another power player. Ryan said she might be able to draw in more people by making a power move. Erica said she will be a target once there are only floaters left. Ryan disagreed. He said she will be left with people who cannot beat her if that happens. Ryan implied that he would have nominated Ali and Olivia had he won HoH. He questioned why Derek and Kaela were not on the block when Olivia won HoH, even though those two duos were apparently each other’s biggest targets. Ryan began to wonder if they had been working together all along. Erica said that’s interesting.
12:00-1:00 AM: In the have-not room, Ryan asked Johnny how his conversations went last night during the double eviction. Johnny explained that he was against one of the names that Olivia gave him, since it would have meant that Olivia was breaking her word to someone. Ryan said that was Maddy. Johnny confirmed it. Ryan said Ali told him that the nominations were going to be Maddy and Merron until Johnny freaked out about Maddy going up. Ryan said he also heard that Johnny was pushing for him to stay. He let Johnny know that Ali said Johnny is in it until the end with Maddy, Paras and Will. Johnny was frustrated by that, saying that he had squashed that with Ali last night but apparently not. Erica told Paras she wants her to know that she is good. Paras said she knows, and any doubt was relieved the first time around when Erica was HoH. Erica said Paras has to have faith. Paras said she wants to win so that Erica knows she has her back. Erica said she knows she does.
1:00-2:00 AM: Erica told Paras she can tell that she doesn’t feel good in the group. Paras said Ali is the only one that she doesn’t feel 100% about in their alliance. Paras brought up that Ali tries to make deals with everyone, including approaching Maddy about making a deal with their same group of people. Paras said she heard from Ryan that Ali suggested taking out someone like her or Maddy. Despite that, Paras said she feels good with their group as a whole. Paras assured Erica that she trusts her fully and she will protect her. Erica admitted that she was concerned about Johnny and Paras always protecting Maddy. She wondered if something was going on between the three of them and Will. Paras said if there is, she doesn’t know about it. Paras said she knows that Maddy will drop her if the house wants her to. Erica eventually said that Paras opened her eyes about Ali a bit. Erica thinks that Ali is the only person who would come after her. Paras said she will have Erica’s back if she wants to make that move, but she thinks that it’s too early. Erica said it’s not good for them to lose a number right now, so it is too early. Paras said she will back Erica in whatever decision she makes. Paras said it’s nice to have found her person to have these types of discussions with without it going back to the other person. Afterwards, Erica told Derek and Olivia that she is still leaning towards nominating Merron and Ryan.
