Big Brother Canada 6 Day 31 - Johnny decides not to use the Power of Veto
April 2, 2018
9:00-10:00 AM: Will told Johnny that Merron said he is going after Erica. Will said Merron told him that every person in the house should go after Erica. Johnny asked if Will is going to tell Erica that. Will asked if they should. Johnny said he doesn’t know.
10:00-11:00 AM: Will told Maddy he thinks that they should keep Ryan. Maddy said she knows but it would be tough to flip on Ali. Will said all they have to do is tell Erica that Merron is coming after her. Maddy doesn’t think Johnny will vote to keep Ryan. Will disagreed. He pointed out that the original plan was to send Merron home anyway. Maddy and Will agreed that Ryan will not come after anyone in the white room. In the red room, Ali told Erica there is still time to get Daela out. She thinks it’s more important to get Maddy out. Erica agreed. Ali said to try selling that one to Johnny. Erica mentioned that Johnny is likely less attached to Johnny now that the numbers are dwindling. Erica said she gets the Daela concern, and she feels better with the six than she does with the five. Ali said she is with Erica on that one. Erica said the showmance might not be after them, but they are after their humans. Ali prefers that Johnny or Will take the shot. Erica said they have gotten themselves in a bit of a pickle by covering all of their bases, because people are now going to be pissed at them when they uncover their bases. Maddy told Johnny that Ryan was talking about badly wanting Daela out. Maddy said she hasn’t believed Ryan in the past, but she believes that he is telling her the truth. Maddy admitted that she isn’t sure which way is best to vote at this point. Maddy said that Ali and Olivia would be upset if they evict Merron, but it doesn’t meant that they would totally shift their focus to come after them. Johnny said they would have to be smart about how they approach Erica about it, cause they can’t all go in there saying the same thing. Johnny told Maddy she could tell Olivia that Merron is coming after her, and Ryan is coming after Daela. Maddy said that Merron going after Erica also reenforces why he needs to go. In the HoH room, Will told Erica he thinks that they should send Merron home this week. Will said he was picking Merron’s brain, and Merron told him he should nominate Erica since she should be on everyone’s radar as a comp beast. Will said Merron is 100% going to nominate Erica. As for Ryan, Will said he doesn’t think that he is going after Ali and Olivia.
11:00-12:00 PM: Maddy let Ryan know that people have been talking about blindsiding him, and it was the plan as of yesterday. Maddy explained that doing that does not make sense for four of them. Maddy told Ryan that he needs to vocalize that he is going after Daela. Ryan said the problem is that both members of Daela have told him that there is no way they are sending him home. Maddy said they are 100% lying. Maddy said Ali and Olivia want Daela to go. Will asked Paras if she told people that he was intentionally throwing competitions. Paras said no. Will asked if she is lying to him, because he has heard that from a couple of people. Will said that makes him doubt her. Paras said he doubt her if he wants to. The conversation didn’t end on a good note. About 10 minutes later, Paras approached Will to ask if they can talk. Paras said she is willing to bring the person in who told her that Will is throwing comps. Will said he doesn’t want to stir the pot. He asked if it was someone in the six. Paras said no. Paras told Will she has put her faith in him as her number one, and she doesn’t know what more she can do to show him that she trusts him. Paras revealed that Derek is the one who she was talking to. Will said Derek isn’t who he heard it from.
1:00-2:00 PM: The veto ceremony took place. Johnny decided not to use the Power of Veto. Merron and Ryan remain nominated. Ryan spoke to Erica about the vote. He said he is concerned about Ali, Olivia, Derek and Kaela potentially not voting to keep him. Ryan said he doesn’t think that he can get both pairs on his side. He asked which pairing is best to pitch to in order to keep Erica safe. Erica said if Ali and Olivia don’t feel that they can flip Merron to their side, they are the people to pitch to. Ryan said he feels that those two are feeling threatened by him after the double eviction. Erica said that’s fair. Erica said she has heard that her name has came out of Merron’s mouth. Ryan said it could be due to panic. Erica said that panic or not, she has not heard her name come out of Ryan’s mouth. Ryan pointed out that if Ali and Olivia are as against Daela as they say they are, they should be on board with leaving the showmance on the wrong side of a 6-2 vote. Ryan said that would isolate those two as a target, buying everyone a week or two. Ryan assured Erica that he will not be coming after her if he stays. Erica said she has never thought that he was after her. Erica added that they need each other as mutual threats in the game. Ryan said he needs to repair his relationship with Ali and Olivia. Erica said that’s a good idea. Elsewhere, Paras told Will she needs to know who said that she is saying he is throwing competitions. Will said it was Maddy. Will said Maddy also told him not to worry if he sees her around Ali and Olivia.
2:00-3:00 PM: Paras asked if anyone else said the thing about him throwing competitions. Will said Olivia did as well. Paras and Will wondered if Maddy is actually working with Ali and Olivia, and she told them. Paras said they can’t trust Maddy. Will said Maddy flip flops all of the time. The two discussed that keeping Ryan would be better for their game. Will thinks that Ryan would take a shot at Derek and Kaela, or Ali and Olivia. Both worried that Merron is working with Derek and Kaela. Paras said she thinks that she is going to put Maddy up if she wins HoH, proving her loyalty to the six. Paras said they can send Maddy or Ryan home if they are next to Maddy. Paras said that Will is all she has in this game. Will said he doesn’t trust Maddy at all. Paras is afraid that Maddy is trying so hard to get in with Ali, Erica and Olivia that she will tell them that they discussed going after them. They discussed telling Derek and Kaela that they can have each other’s backs. After Will left, Paras spoke to the cameras about how she learned the hard way that you can’t trust anyone. Paras said she thought that Maddy was the Brittnee to her Sarah, but Maddy had better watch her back now. Paras said she is so stupid for trusting Maddy. Ali joined Paras. Paras said she was wrong about Maddy, as she thought that she was someone that could be trusted. Paras said she should have listened to Olivia when she wanted to put Maddy up. Ali asked where Will’s head is at when it comes to Maddy. Paras said Will knows that he was wrong about her too. Ali asked if Maddy can go next week then. Paras said yeah. Ali asked if Paras can explain what is going on. Paras said she cannot because she doesn’t want to mess up what she has with Will. Paras explained that Maddy betrayed her trust and Will’s trust. Paras said Maddy is playing the game way harder than she thought. Paras assured Ali that she is 100% with the six, and she will prove it in the coming weeks. Ali brought up that she would like to wait until the triple to get Derek and Kaela out at the same time, though Johnny and Will don’t want that. Paras said it makes sense. Maddy then spoke to Paras. She said she can tell that Paras is pissed. Maddy asked why Paras would think that she is sketchy. Paras said she was saying that to everyone, and what she was concerned about was not said by Maddy. When Maddy was fishing for more info, Paras simply said that someone was trying to intentionally split the two of them and Will up. Paras said she swore to Will that she wouldn’t share what was said, which she wouldn’t have done had it been about Maddy. Paras said she would have confronted her if it had to do with her. Up in the HoH room, Erica spoke to Ali, Johnny and Olivia about the plan for the week. She said that Will apparently said he cut a deal with Daela when he was backed into a corner. Erica, Johnny and Olivia all said that they believe it. Erica told Ali and Olivia that she thinks Ryan wants to talk to them about making a deal to go after Daela. Olivia thinks that it would be a BS deal. Erica and Johnny said that they believe Ryan when he says that. Erica said she really doesn’t think that Ali and Olivia would be Ryan’s targets. Olivia said it’s a team thing, and Ryan can stay if they decide that that’s what is best for them. Erica suggested that Ali and Olivia have a conversation with Ryan in order to feel him out. Ali said she cannot have a conversation with Ryan without calling him out on his BS. Erica said that is the best course of action. Erica said that Ryan staying is a way to go after Daela. Johnny said that Daela might also go after Ryan if they win HoH. Ali said she doesn’t care who goes, but she is looking at it from a perspective of who has a better shot at winning HoH. She thinks Ryan is more likely to win HoH. Erica said that Ryan is all about his word, and she really doesn’t believe that he has lied about much. Johnny agreed. Ali said she will be willing to let Merron go this week even if her conversation with Ryan doesn’t go well, as long as they can agree to take a shot at Ryan over Daela next week. Johnny said no. He pointed out that everyone else’s targets are constantly going, yet Derek and Kaela are coming after him and they are going to leave them in the game. Erica said she is not going to tell anyone how to play their game, but she personally would like to keep Ryan this week.
3:00-4:00 PM: Johnny asked if they can leave Daela on the other side of the vote if they decide to keep Ryan. He said they don’t need to do a group thing always. Erica said it would make it look like the whole house is working together, leaving them on the other side. Ali said the fact that Ryan was able to come back with a new approach once he realized that he is in danger is terrifying. Ali said Ryan’s strategy is very good, whereas Merron will not be able to fix what he has done. Erica said Kaela knows how to play the game, and she may have Merron under her wing. Erica mentioned that she doesn’t think Will would fabricate things out of thin air. Johnny said Merron seems to be upset with Erica even based on his chats with him. Johnny said Ryan is a bigger threat but he is alone. Ali said Merron is alone as well. As for Daela, Ali said she really thinks that they are gung-ho about the five. Erica said she thinks it’s more of a keep your friends close but keep your enemies closer thing. Olivia agreed with Erica. Afterwards, Ryan spoke to Ali and Olivia to clear the air. He said he was angry and shifted his focus in their direction after what happened during the double eviction. Ryan said that after having time to calm down, he realizes that they were there for him when no one else was. Ryan implied that he would be going after Daela. Ali asked how she can know that this isn’t just game on his part. Ryan talked about being a man of his word. He gave his word that he will not nominate Ali and Olivia if he wins the HoH in the triple eviction. Ali told Ryan that she will not go with the house just to go with the house, so know that she is putting her trust in him once again if she votes to keep him. Meanwhile, Erica told Johnny she thinks that it’s best for their game to have Ryan stay. Erica said she is going to vote to keep Ryan if it comes down to a tiebreaker. Erica asked if Maddy, Paras and Will can get behind evicting Merron. Johnny said those three and himself would be the four votes that they need. In the red room, Paras warned Merron that people are getting sketched out about him being close with Daela. They talked about Kaela being the type to promise everybody something. Paras said Merron has to make sure that he is working on everyone else in order to get the votes to stay.
4:00-5:00 PM: In the pantry, Erica told Ryan she let Ali and Olivia know that she will be voting for him to stay in the event of a tiebreaker. Erica said the only reason that Ali and Olivia wouldn’t keep him is because they are terrified that Ryan is coming after them. Ryan said he feels that their conversation went well, and he told them that he is not after them. In the HoH room, Erica spoke to Paras about the plan to target Merron. She said it seems as though Will is on board since it was kind of his idea. Erica called Merron a wildcard, adding that he has not yet campaigned to her. Paras said she is a bit concerned about Maddy and Ryan being a thing. Erica suggested that they take a shot at Maddy or Ryan next week if they don’t target Daela. Paras said she is now on board since she realizes that she overlooked a number of things when it comes to Maddy. Paras asked Erica to let her know if things change with regards to targeting Merron. It was discussed that Derek and Kaela will likely not be brought in on the plan until Thursday morning. In the bathroom, Olivia told Ali that she thinks it is best to evict Merron. She asked if they should let Daela in on the plan. Ali said they have to. Olivia said they can secretly go up to them an hour before the eviction, saying that everyone wants to blindside them but they aren’t down for that. Olivia thought that they would later be able to blame Paras for telling Derek and Kaela about the vote. They agreed to think that one over for a bit longer before going with that story. Olivia then went to Johnny to tell him that Ryan promised her and Ali safety in the triple. She said she feels as though Ryan was being genuine, meaning that she is not going to vote to evict him.
5:00-6:00 PM: In the have-not room, Paras told Ryan to know that the plan to blindside him was not Daela’s idea. Ryan said that means it has to be Ali and Olivia. Paras said she understands if Ryan wants to target Derek and Kaela first, but other people are gunning for him. Ryan said his ideal situation is that Derek and Kaela end up on the wrong side of a 6-2 vote. Paras said she doesn’t think that Erica will let that happen. Ryan mentioned that he was let in on the blindside about 10 minutes before the veto ceremony. Paras asked who clued him in on it. Ryan said it was Maddy. Ryan thinks that Maddy is on both sides, thinking that she is good with Ali and Olivia when she really isn’t. Paras agreed. Ryan said he thinks that he is going to take the shot at Daela if he wins HoH. Ryan said Kaela would have to go. When Ryan asked if Paras would go after Ali and Olivia, or Derek and Kaela, Paras said that she doesn’t think she would go after Ali and Olivia. As for Derek and Kaela, Paras said she doesn’t even know that she would go after them now that she was told a number of things this morning to make her realize that she cannot even trust the people closest to her. After the conversation with Ryan wrapped up, Paras said to the cameras that she had wanted to keep Ryan to target Ali and Olivia. Now that he is going after Daela, Paras said she is changing her mind. She also mentioned that she has control over Merron.
7:00-8:00 PM: Kaela brought up that Merron cannot win a competition to save his life. She suggested that they should get Ryan out while they can. Erica said Merron has vocalized that he is after her. Derek asked if that scares her. Erica said she would bet money against him winning a competition, but a threat is a threat. Erica said there are two physically weak individuals on the block, which led to Kaela saying that Merron is also bad at questions. As for Ryan, she said he is so smart, convincing, and a genius if he can manipulate everyone into switching their votes this week. Derek said he would not worry about Merron if he was Erica, because she would have a great chance to win the veto, and she would have the votes if not, if Merron puts her up. Elsewhere, Maddy asked Paras if she wants to keep Ryan. While Paras acknowledged that he is not coming after them, she said she would be able to easily pull Merron in if he stays. Maddy argued that Ryan is more likely to take the shots that they can’t take. Paras said he is not even going after Ali or Olivia anymore, cause now he is after Daela. Maddy said she told him to say that. She said that Ryan going after Daela is working for him, and he is still vote on their side even if he doesn’t try to win HoH. Paras also worried about whether or not Ryan would choose them over Erica. Maddy said that he would 100%. After talking to Paras, Maddy spoke to Erica about the vote. Erica said she feels solid with Ryan, so she is willing to break the tie in his favour if Maddy, Johnny, Paras and Will keep him. Erica thinks that Daela wants Ryan out so badly because they are scared of him, as opposed to Merron who could give them three strong moving forward. Both agreed that Ryan does not lie as much as people think that he does. Kaela spoke to Ali about needing to send Ryan out this week. Ali said they have to remind Erica that Merron is not going to win, but they can’t be pushy about it. Ali said if they can guarantee that they have five votes to evict Ryan, they should do it. Ali asaid Erica would never tell them which way to vote. Kaela went to Derek to tell him that Erica wants Merron to go. Both Derek and Kaela said that they will not change their votes. Derek said it’s best for his game to have Ryan leave. Ali told Merron that he has got to demand some time with Erica, because she is now uneasy after hearing that he is coming after her. Ali said to throw Daela’s names out there if he has to name names. Ali said to let Erica know that he is not after her, he wants to work with her, and he needs her as a strong ally.
8:00-9:00 PM: Merron told Erica that no one would suspect that they would work together after she has nominated him twice. Merron said he is still available to work with. Erica said it seems that he is close to Daela. Merron explained that he was just having fun with them yesterday, plus he needs their votes. Merron said he will do what is best for him. Erica admitted that what worries her about Merron is that she doesn’t know who he would target. She mentioned that Ryan is much more transparent. Merron asked Erica to look past the fact that he could possibly come after her for putting him up twice. Merron said he is by himself and he is pretty sure that Hamza would be happy to see them work together. Merron let Erica know that he is not gunning for her. Erica told Merron that this is the best campaigning he has ever done.
9:00-10:00 PM: Kaela told Merron that she will be voting to keep him. She said she wants him in the game, and she would rather keep someone who is on her side. Kaela said she assumes that Merron would rather work with her and Derek than not. Kaela also said she doesn’t even like Ryan as a person, so she doesn’t mind telling everyone that she voted to keep Merron, even if they all keep Ryan, cause she doesn’t like Ryan. Kaela encouraged Merron to go remind other people that Ryan is a bigger threat, he has won more competitions, he is convincing, and he is a superfan. Kaela said she assumes that Merron will have Derek’s vote as well. Merron thinks that he had a good talk with Derek earlier. Merron said he will let Ryan go run his mouth to everyone. Kaela warned Merron that people are concerned that he doesn’t talk any game, as opposed to Ryan who is at least making an effort. She told him to go game a bit more. Kaela also suggested that Merron throw Ryan under the bus since he is doing the same to him.
10:00-11:00 PM: Derek told Kaela that if Merron does stay, he thinks that they will have him. Kaela and Derek agreed that they will vote Ryan out no matter what. Derek said if Ryan does stay, and he wins HoH, he might put Ali and Olivia up for being stupid enough to keep Ryan. Meanwhile, Ali told Erica she is wondering if Will said Merron is working with Daela in order to get them to keep Ryan to take a shot at Daela. Ali thinks that Will may have done that since he is paranoid about Daela coming after him. Ali wondered if they are naive to Will cause they love him so much. Erica said that they could be blind to his goofy nature. Erica said she is going to have to grill Will a little bit more on exactly what Merron said. Erica told Ali that Merron looked her in the eye and promised that he is not coming after her. Ali said she doesn’t think that he has a lying bone in his body. Ali talked about wanting to get Maddy out before the triple. She and Erica continued to debate who to target this week. Ali said she would rather get Maddy out next week, so that would mean Ryan is sticking around even longer if they don’t get him out now. She thinks that Merron would be easier to get out later since he cannot win a competition. They agreed to talk more later.
11:00-12:00 AM: Paras spoke to the cameras. She said she cannot decide whether or not she should win HoH. She said she told herself not to play according to what Canada would want, yet she feels like she is being boring. Paras talked about wanting to win HoH twice, and also win a bunch of PoVs. Paras hopes to be the one to get the showmance out and get Erica out. Paras said she understands why Canada would love Erica, but she has been arrogant by calling herself Comp Beast Barbie. As for Maddy, Paras said she was heated about her earlier but she knows that she needs her there as a shield.
