Big Brother Canada has reached its final seven and it doesn't look as though BC's lone competitor will be taking home the $100,000 prize.
Following a double eviction that sent Victoria and Rohan to the jury house, Kiefer has become the likely target this week. He is in trouble after winning the Head of Household competition during the double, opting to stay loyal to Tychon, Jed and Beth over the other side of the house.
The week was quite hectic following Beth's first HOH win of the season. She originally put up Ro and Tera but planned to take out Vic via the backdoor.
Beth's plan worked to perfection after Rohan won his fourth Power of Veto competition in a row, which is the most consecutive string of veto wins ever. Ro won the power, as well as a new barbeque, in a comp that saw competitors memorize a food puzzle and then throw the pieces onto a barbeque with a giant spatula.
He beat out Ty, Tera, Tina and Breydon. Breydon was the only other houseguest who finished the competition before time expired.
Following his win, Beth made things "spicy" and informed Vic that she was the replacement nominee. After one of the biggest moves of the season, Beth, Ty and Jed had to debate whether to follow through on the backdoor or to evict Tera instead.
In order to gain the trio's trust, Vic decided to throw Tera and Ro's names under the bus. She claimed that all Tera did was complain and that she didn't deserve to be there.
Despite having a bit of a meltdown on the national stage, the trio thought Vic made some sense as she exposed the alliance of the Oddballs, which included Rohan and Tera.
Both sides waivered on who would go home, but in the end, Vic was the first jury member by a unanimous decision. At this point, fear struck the players' hearts as host Arissa Cox told the houseguests that this week was a double eviction.
In an HOH comp where the players had to decide whether specific events happened before or after certain days, Kiefer came up huge and got a perfect score, securing another HOH win. His target was Rohan and he was put on the block next to Breydon.
Ro, Breydon, Tychon, Beth and Tina all competed in a King Arthur-themed POV. Tychon was the first to pull his sword from the stone, which all but sealed Ro's fate.
During the next eviction, Rohan was sent home in another unanimous vote.
On Monday's episode, the houseguests were thrown into the ball pit for another HOH competition. They had to bring back white balls that added to their scores or brings back balls with Xs on them, which took away from other competitors' totals.
Tera caused quite a scene when she saw her tube getting filled with Xs. She claimed that Big Brother was an individual game and that everyone was handing the trio the win.
In the end, Jedson won his first HOH of the season and put Tera and Tina on the block together. Despite it looking okay for Kiefer, a backdoor plan is in the works and his days in the house could very well be numbered.
Running the Game:
Tychon: Ty is in the perfect place because he is in the exact middle of the house. Those in the trio trust him and those outside want Beth and Jedson gone first. He has an easy route to the end of this game and just needs to win a couple more competitions to clinch a win versus anyone he is sitting with.
Jedson: Some incredible luck needs to occur for someone to take Jedson out. He is the most fearless competitor left in the field, has a strong trio in Beth, Ty and even Breydon. The odds of Tera or Tina winning an HOH are low and Jedson could easily make the final four, if not further.
Beth: Many say Beth is being carried by Tychon and Beth, and that may be true, but she is in the safest position in the house. No one will go after her first when it comes to the trio and she has an easy route to the final. Other houseguests will want to take her to final two over almost anyone else other than Tina.
Fan Favourites:
Breydon: Despite not winning a single competition thus far, Breydon has won over the hearts of viewers everywhere. Even after losing another ally this week in Rohan, Breydon keeps playing and looks to be heading into the final six. An HOH win could completely change the game for him.
Tychon: Ty is everyone's favourite in the trio and most people's pick to win the game. He is smart, charming, has a comp win under his belt and connections to both sides of the house. He should be safe in the next few weeks and will be taken over Jedson by almost everyone in the house. Expect big things from Ty heading forward.
In Trouble:
Kiefer: The most loyal houseguest in the game, Kiefer let his hate for Rohan cloud his judgement. Taking a shot at the only person who would seriously go after the trio wasn't the play and it will likely result in Kiefer getting evicted. Expect him to be on the block very soon.
Tera: She was fun this week, a major step up from the last few. Calling out the trio was an interesting move and backing it up with a possible comp move would be even better. No matter what Tera does, she doesn't have the allies to make it much further in this game.
Breydon: Breydon seems like collateral damage for most of the house. He doesn't have any ride or dies left and will eventually be cast aside by the trio. He needs to win an HOH for any shot at moving forward. I expect Breydon out around final five.
Thoughts from John Luke:
The double eviction was production's worst nightmare! Having two big characters in Victoria and Rohan leave the game at the same time makes the end of the game a bit of a snoozefest. Despite that, Kiefer being backdoored could be pretty crazy. Jedson, Ty and Beth have been given a very smooth ride to the end here and I expect the win is going to one of them. I wish I had more to say, but the last few weeks shouldn't be too much fun. Hoping for the best!
