Big Brother Canada 6 Day 38 - Johnny decides not to use the Power of Veto
April 9, 2018
11:00-12:00 PM: Ryan told Johnny that he will have a shot as long as someone else goes on the block. Ryan said he doesn’t have a shot if he is up against Will. Johnny said whoever goes up would not be happy about it. Ryan said he understands. He said he doesn’t think that anything could change Johnny’s mind at this point. Johnny admitted that there isn’t really anything that he could say to change his mind. Ryan said he got screwed over, and that person is not going to have to pay for what they did. Ryan suggested that Johnny would have the connections to make something happen. Johnny said he doesn’t think that anyone is biting on that. Ryan said he has always deflected when Johnny’s name has come up. Johnny said he has other relationships that are playing into his decision as well. Ryan gave his word that he will throw the veto if he and Johnny are nominated next to each other next week, as long as Johnny uses the veto on him. Next up, Johnny let Will know about Ryan’s pitch. Johnny said he is not going to use the veto on Ryan. Johnny asked if Will is still on board with him not using it on him either. Will said yeah. Will listed off his sure votes as Johnny, Maddy and Paras. Johnny said that Derek and Erica will not flip either. Johnny then went to Kaela to let her know that he is not going to use the veto. Kaela said it’s a guaranteed 7-0 vote to send Ryan home over Will. After Johnny left the room, Kaela said to herself that Erica is safe. Derek joined her. Kaela said that she 100% would nominate Erica if Johnny were to use the veto. Kaela told Derek that she wouldn’t put Maddy up, especially since Johnny just admitted that it would be a toss up if she was on the block. Derek asked if Kaela would want to send Ryan home over Erica. Kaela said they would have to have a conversation at that point.
1:00-2:00 PM: Feeds returned following the veto ceremony. Johnny decided not to use the Power of Veto. Ryan and Will remain nominated. Ryan told Johnny that he has not played the game that he could have. Ryan explained that he came in prepared to do whatever it took, but then he couldn’t do it. If he could, Ryan said he would have taken a stronger stand in week two when he nominated Andrew and Hamza. Ryan said that send the guy home who everyone wanted to go home turned him into the bad guy, though he would have been dealing with the repercussions had he not made that move. Ryan said he has flip flopped a bit because nobody has ever wanted to commit to him for more than a week. Ryan said he can stay but he needs people to take that shot. Ryan told Johnny that there is only one target for him. He pointed out that Johnny has friends in every direction, so it’s going to be a problem for him if he wins HoH. Ryan said if Johnny can’t afford to win HoH because he can’t afford to take the shot, he is essentially waiting for someone to talk the shot at him. Ryan said it’s a dangerous spot to be in. Ryan said he knows that Johnny is not naive to think that people are not looking at him when he has won four competitions. Ryan thinks that people are afraid to touch Derek and Kaela because they fear that the remaining member of the showmance will come after them. Ryan said to make sure that Kaela is sent out the door next week, because it’s getting to a point where she is about to be able to play in every competition. Ryan asked that Johnny let him know if it’s never going to happen for him. Ryan said he wont waste time if he knows that he doesn’t have Johnny’s vote. Ryan then told Ali that he would only need one more vote if Ali and Olivia are on board with keeping him. Ryan said someone has told him firmly that they will be the fourth vote if he has three others. When Ali asked who it is, Ryan said that names are dangerous. Ryan said it’s not Johnny but it’s someone who he trusts explicitly. Ryan told Ali that it comes down to him being a better target to hide behind than Will is.
2:00-3:00 PM: In the red room, Ali asked Olivia what they should do. Olivia told Ali that they have a couple of options for next week. She said that they could nominate Maddy and Paras, potentially making use of the backdoor, or they could nominate Erica and Johnny if they want to be ballsy, or they could nominate Daela if they feel that they are going to come at them in the triple. Olivia said she would put up Erica and Johnny but she is worried about the repercussions for the triple. Ali said she doesn’t think that they can do that. She thinks that nominating Maddy and Paras is best. Olivia said that’s such a weak move though. Ali said she really wants to get the next HoH because she doesn’t feel safe. Olivia said she will go for it too. Ali thinks that they can set themselves up where people would target Daela over them in the triple. Olivia said she will likely backdoor Johnny if the opportunity presents itself. Ali said she would not be surprised if Erica and Johnny are thinking the same about them. Ali thinks that Johnny would take Will over anyone since he thinks that he can beat him. Ali said it sucks to hear that Johnny threw her name out as a replacement nominee. Once Olivia left the room, Ali wonder aloud about whether Canada would want her to take a shot at Daela, or take a shot at Johnny. When Olivia returned, Ali let her know that Ryan is claiming that someone has guaranteed him a vote if he has three others. Ali figures that it’s Erica. Olivia said she wants to get rid of Ryan. Ali agreed but said she is curious if Erica is trying to make a power move by getting Will out. Ali pointed out that Erica likes to keep big targets in, and get rid of people who are loved. Olivia said they don’t want that, since they want Erica to be a target. Ali said she will try to get the name out of Ryan. In the white room, Ryan told Paras he feels like he can’t get her vote even if he wants to, so he doesn’t want to put her in an unfair position. Paras said it’s the worst case scenario in terms of who is up next to him. Ryan agreed. Ryan said he only has one shot to take, and it should be the same shot that everyone takes, cause Kaela is going to win if you don’t take her out while she unable to compete for HoH. Ryan said he thinks that he has a better shot at winning HoH than Will does, and it comes down to who you would rather have competing against Derek. Ryan said nobody wants to be his first vote, but he has someone on board to be the fourth if he can bring in three others. Paras said she is not shutting it down but Will is her best friend in the house. Ryan suggested that Paras would go home over Will but would stay over him. Ryan said he is a target that people will go after first. Ryan said he plans to be vocal that this is the last chance to get Kaela out since she and Derek will be competing together after this week. Ryan brought up that Kaela tried to manipulate everyone by saying that Maddy was going up, and then attempting to get information out of everyone. Ryan assured Paras that he will not put her up if he stays.
3:00-4:00 PM: Ryan asked Ali to do him a favour, not waiting to send Kaela home. He said she is going to win the game if she doesn’t go home next week. Ryan said there will come a time where Kaela gets to compete in every single veto competition. Ryan suggested that Kaela has been holding back, so now she is going to start to win a lot since she is feeling threatened. Ryan told Ali that she cannot use the triple as protection. Ryan added that people will want him out the longer that he is there. Ali said it’s tough since Johnny, Maddy and Paras would never vote against Will. Ryan said maybe, but he only needs to get one of them. Ali said it has to be Erica by process of elimination. Ryan eventually confirmed that Erica said she was happy to be the fourth of four. Ryan said he is happy to bring Erica, Ali and Olivia together once he gets another vote. Ali said it will be tricky. Ryan agreed but said the pitch is not wrong. Ryan talked about the need to target Daela. He also brought up that he will have to earn any jury votes, whereas Will will get votes based on sentimentality. Afterwards, Ali and Olivia talked things over. They agreed that some days they think they can trust Daela, and some days they don’t. Olivia said she trusts Erica but cannot have her in the end. Ali said everybody trusts Erica. Ali said she is trustworthy but she cannot keep her promise to everybody. Ali compared Erica to Paul in a sense that everyone trusts her.
4:00-5:00 PM: Ali, Olivia, Derek and Kaela chatted in the HoH room. Derek mentioned that he hasn’t talked to Erica too much. Kaela said Erica was just in the HoH room but she didn’t seem to want to talk much game. Ali and Olivia said that they haven’t talked to Erica since everything transpired yesterday. Kaela asked Olivia for her thoughts on things. Olivia said she feels the same way as Ali. Ali said they are trying to keep the connection but they have to win HoH or else they could be in danger. Ali thinks that Johnny has gotten inside of Erica’s head, so she is now thinking that she cannot go to the end with two duos. Kaela said it’s really clear that Johnny was always with the other side of the house based on the conversations that she had this week.
5:00-6:00 PM: Kaela told Ali, Olivia and Derek that Johnny was saying he doesn’t trust Ali, and he was suggesting that she should go on the block. Kaela said he wouldn’t mention Ali’s name once Derek was in the room. Ali said that’s because Johnny doesn’t want someone to be able to vouch for Kaela if she later brings it up. Derek said he doesn’t think that Erica would put them up if she wins this week, but Johnny might. Kaela thinks that Erica needs them in the game for the triple. Ali said Erica and Johnny have been saying they don’t know if they should wait for the triple to target the showmance. Olivia said that those two were getting agitated that they might not go target the showmance sooner than the triple. Olivia wondered if Erica was only saying it because Johnny was there. Ali said Erica mentioned it to her when Johnny was not around yesterday. Kaela said they should casually bring it up to see what Erica is truly thinking. Ali said they have to pretend that they are good with Johnny, otherwise Erica will gun for the HoH even harder. Kaela let Ali know that if Johnny wanted to use the veto, she was going to tell him that now he has to choose between two of his friends. Kaela assured Ali that she would never put her up. Derek and Kaela assured Ali that they have her and Olivia’s backs 100%. Ali said ditto. Later, Johnny asked Ali if she thinks next week is to take the shot at Daela, or if she is still trying to save them. Ali said she is scared but she is going to be scared no matter what she does. Johnny said he wondered if Ali and Olivia were close to Daela, but that doesn’t seem to be the case. Ali said no. Ali asked if Johnny thinks that Derek or Kaela would win the game if they make it to the end. Johnny said yeah. They discussed that those two would win since they had the biggest target on their backs from the start. Johnny said the other thing bothering him is that he is not playing a winning game. He mentioned not using the veto as a potential missed opportunity to build his resume. Outside, Olivia said there is a 50/50 shot that Derek and Kaela go up if Erica wins HoH. Kaela thinks that Johnny would be in her ear about it. Olivia said Will didn’t throw out Derek and Kaela’s names when talking about who he would put up, so there is a chance that they could pull him in. Kaela said Johnny was going to on the block if Ryan came down, because it wasn’t just Maddy who told her that Johnny has been after the showmance for weeks. Olivia said they could be in trouble if Maddy or Paras win HoH. Kaela agreed. Kaela said she still trusts Erica. Derek agreed. Kaela said she wants Johnny to go before her.
6:00-7:00 PM: Johnny told Ali that Daela’s odds of winning obviously decrease by half if one of them goes. Johnny clarified that he is not going to speak against Daela this week other than to Ali. Ali said he is not really speaking against them. Ali mentioned that the two duos have a respect for each other but they know that the time will come when they have to take each other out. Ali explained that going after each other early on would have allowed everyone to float on by for four weeks.
7:00-8:00 PM: In the HoH room, Ryan told Erica that they are going to be screwed if Kaela is not the next one to leave the house. Erica said she agrees. Erica mentioned that she has been planting seeds all week. Erica said she doesn’t think that Kaela is good as she thinks she is. Ryan agreed, adding that she is certainly not as talented of a manipulator as she thinks she is. Ryan told Erica that he is going to try to get Ali and Olivia on board with keeping him. In addition to Erica, he said he will have to try for one more vote. Erica correctly assumed that Paras is the other one that Ryan is trying for. Ryan said he has thought that Johnny would be a potential vote in his corner but he is hearing from everyone that there is no way. Erica agreed.
8:00-9:00 PM: Erica let Kaela know that Ryan is going to be pitching hard. Erica and Kaela said they wouldn’t expect him to just roll over. Erica said she thinks that it will be a done deal anyway. Kaela said Ryan doesn’t have anything to offer since he has never stuck to anything that he has offered before. Kaela talked about how Ryan would have dominated the game if he was 10-15 years younger. Erica agreed. Outside, Derek and Maddy discussed that there are so few votes at this point. Maddy said that Ryan getting four votes seems like an insurmountable goal. Maddy said she personally cannot see that happening.
10:00-11:00 PM: Paras told Derek and Kaela she feels pretty good about this week going according to plan. She wondered what the best plan for next week would be. Paras said Maddy wants to work with them. Kaela let Paras know that she was not going to nominate her or Maddy if Johnny had used the veto today. Kaela said she was going to take a shot. Kaela asked how close Maddy is to Johnny. Paras said she would be willing to get rid of him. Kaela mentioned that Johnny said to throw Maddy up there if he uses the veto. Paras thinks that part of that was Johnny realizing that he is being paired up with Maddy, so he wants to make it seem as though they aren’t close. Paras asked if Ali and Olivia are untouchable next week since Daela wants to keep them for the triple. Derek said it makes sense for their game to leave those two in the game. They suggested that it’s more important to get Erica or Johnny out. While Paras only wanted to put one up, Derek and Kaela said they should put both up so that one cannot use the veto on the other to keep them both safe. Paras said she feels most threatened by Johnny because he doesn’t seem to trust her, and he likely sees that he could get closer to Maddy and Will if she is gone.
11:00-12:00 AM: Paras told Kaela that if Johnny and Erica are on the block together, whoever stays will be on the other side and gunning for them. Kaela said they are already on the other side. Paras argued that Johnny wants to be on the side with her, Maddy and Will. Paras added that Johnny wants to prove himself to Will, plus he has always been good with Maddy. Paras suggested nominating Ali and Erica, then using Johnny as the replacement nominee if Erica comes down. Kaela worried that Ali might go. Paras said they would have the votes. When Kaela said that she would rather put Olivia up in case something goes wrong, Paras again said that they would have the votes. Paras mentioned that she would down with getting to six with Derek, Kaela, Ali, Maddy and Will. Kaela said Erica and Johnny would win their way to the Final 2 if they get to that point, so they have to go. Paras said they can get Erica out first, without nominating Johnny, and then he wont think that a shot has been taken at him, and he might not target them. Derek then spoke to Kaela. He said he is at a point where he thinks he will just put Erica and Johnny up next to each other if he wins. Kaela said that either of them would win at the end, and they have a good shot at making it there if they last past the triple. Derek said he would say that in front of the house. Kaela told Derek that Paras said Erica feels threatened by her because she is the only girl who could take her out. Kaela said they are going to have to do as much as they can each week, as somebody can only take one of them out at a time unless it’s during the triple. Kaela acknowledged that she is likely leaving first since people view her as a bigger threat than Derek. Kaela said she almost wishes that she had given Johnny the go ahead to use the veto so that she could have nominated Erica. Derek and Kaela discussed that it’s okay since Ryan has to go anyway.
12:00-1:00 AM: Paras spoke to the cameras to say that Kaela trusts her enough that she can take her out when she is not expecting it. Paras talked about Erica and Johnny needing to go first. She said she doesn’t want to win the next HoH, because she would like to win in the triple. Paras said she knows she cannot win against Erica or Johnny, so she has to take them out. Paras mentioned that she wouldn’t mind taking Erica out herself since Erica would respect the gameplay. That being said, Paras thinks that Erica would be a bitter jury member. Paras said she has to convince Will that they need to work with Daela, because Daela is never going to put her up. She also said that if Derek or Kaela go, she is the only one that they have left. Paras prefers that Kaela leaves first. Will joined Paras. He said that he would love to see Erica go up and go home since she is the most likely to win. Paras said that they might have to do that this week. Paras and Will discussed that Maddy wants to work with Daela. Paras said it makes sense game wise.
