“Next week we get Kevin out and next we get Karen out.. or we could just get Ika out “

I wish William would have better social game and get Ika, dem, Kevin and himself to flip the script and get 3v3 for Bruno and have dem keep Bruno in tie breaker. Dre, Dillion and Jackie to keep Karen of course. If I missed a vote I’m sorry they are playing good game and am invisible. Then have two sides go at it. If Will was to do this he would still be in a good position on both sides at the middle to bottom of the list and bring good tv to the end game. Plus it saves Simons fav Team Bruno and sets up will and dem in good position for a newb to win the game as they are the newb comp beasts.

connectthe dot everything goes back ika?whynot go after because all knowe that she going to win right?right simon?

There has been so much blame and finger-pointing for why this is taking place, and I’m bored, so here this is. Warning, this will be a long read. Let’s go back to Once Upon a Time…
Once Upon A Time, 8 veterans from the last 4 seasons entered the Big Brother Odyssey, where 8 naive newbies eagerly and fearfully watched one veteran after another one enter the house. Since they are veterans, and there has been a lot of these seasons in the past, they knew that they had to team up. There was some worry when a newbie won Head of Household in the first night. Since the HOH was a slightly deluded older woman, the 4 female vets convinced her to join a fake “Bragade” alliance, and caused her to nominate two strong newbie males, instead of male veterans. Should be a pretty easy week…… but they all doomed themselves.
Three out of the four veterans Kevin, Bruno, and Dallas formed a 5 guys alliance with two newbies. One of the issues with the Veterans started here, where the boys poisoned the newbies against the veteran women (Ika and Cassandra). The girls were guilty of doing this too, specifically Cassandra and Ika, who were poisoning people like French Connection and Greek against other veterans (Bruno, Kevin, Dallas, and Neda).
What’s ironic is that BOTH of the pawns were Week 1 nominees. A bunch of lies and deception about the vote and Veto usage tore them apart, isolation of allies (Cassandra, Gary, Dallas, and Ika) caused paranoia to increase, and the split vote ended any chance of a Veteran alliance.
Bruno and Kevin had distrust for the female vets (specifically Ika and Cassandra), Dallas was getting his allies Dillon and Emily to go after Ika and Sindy, Ika planted fuel in her growing showmance about all of her allies in the new 6 alliance (all of the vets but Dallas, Cassandra, and Gary), and started to play both sides. Neda let her Cassandra obsession grow out of control to the point of demanding Dem to evict Dallas because of Cassandra. Dallas then decided that he needed the vets to stick together once his ass was on the line, but it was too late for him, as he refused to share information with them until he was on the block. One vet down by Week 2.
The 6 alliance remained in power when Neda won HOH, but there were some issues, since Ika was not very comfortable with Cassandra going home. This frustrated Neda to the point where she told Bruno and Kevin that they need to backdoor Ika. Neda, Bruno, and Kevin created several alliances without Sindy, but then questioned why the other vets bonded with other people. Gary was very selfish, and was not over a situation called dress-gate with Neda, causing him to push the narrative that they need to remove her as soon as her immunity ends. The drama between the persian women continued, as Cassandra was on the block to be sent home, and called out Neda for being a “fake feminist”. Neda talked about how all of the alumni hated her, and Cassandra had Gary campaign to Ika to save her, which went nowhere. Bruno, Kevin, and Ika told her early on in the week that they don’t have her vote. Since BBCAN4 is not a popular season, it was easy for them to be extinct, so Cassandra was evicted third unanimously. 2 down already.
Gary knew that he was on the outs with the alumni, in and out of the house, which is even worse because he’s the only person from BBCAN1 in the house. He had a flirtation with Kevin for the last few weeks, and was blindsided when Bruno and Kevin voted for him to be nominated. Some back and forth between him and Neda continued, as well as a few confrontations with Bruno and Kevin only validated what he thought of the BBCAN alumni. His fate was sealed when Ika’s showmance won HOH, and booted him after publicly announcing their budding showmance to the house. Drama between Ika and the other vets in her alliance continued because Bruno, Kevin, and Neda were planning on replacing her and Demetres with their enemies Dillon an Emily (the house vote contributed to this). Ika and her showmance were not innocent either, as they were using their French allies to go after Bruno and Kevin. 3 down, and 5 to go. Keep in mind that only 1 newbie left.
Week 5 would be fatal for the 5 veterans remaining in a plethora of ways. What is supposed to be an easy week ends up becoming difficult (a pattern since the first week). Girl drama between Sindy, Ika, and Neda came to a climax here, but it’s important to recap what happened. Allegedly, Sindy was flirting with Mark in an uncomfortable fashion to the point where people (mainly Neda, and Ika and Cass to a lesser extent) accused her of sexual harassment. It makes things even worse because Neda has a crush on him. He leaves, and Sindy moves onto Ika’s showmance Demetres (whom the latter claimed to not like, but it was clear BS). The narrative of Sindy being thirsty and annoying spread through the house, to the point where Ika and Neda used her against the other when the BBCAN2 ladies were furious. Sindy was aware of what both were doing, but since she was closer to Ika (both lived in Toronto, and spoke everyday until a situation with a man took place), she evicted Neda at the end of the week. Some personal drama about Ika choosing Jon’s girlfriend over Neda was also revealed on the feeds (Ika just talked about this again today in a different context). 4 out of the first 6 evicted were veterans.
Neda did not go out peacefully, and as a way to destroy Ika and her showmance, she revealed the 6 alliance, and ALL of the vets connections to he house were destroyed at that point, which has YET to be recovered to this current date. With there being half of the vets still in the house by the sixth week (BBCAN3 vs Ika), Bruno and Kevin made a deal to throw the HOH to target Ika (this was after the vets and Demetres agreed to stick together). They became split once again when it was clear that Ika or Sindy would go on the block to be sent to jury, and they didn’t talk until Thursday, but it was too late for Sindy. She spent 4 days campaigning against Ika, who wasn’t even on the block, and the house voted her out. It was even worse because her ally Kevin didn’t fight for her at all (who has also been tossing her to the wolves for the last 2 weeks for no reason).
Ika’s showmance wins the current HOH with her permission to nominate the two other vets in the house Bruno and Kevin. Bruno is now being sent home after a failed attempt for him and Kevin to reunite the vets + Demetres. All of the 5 other newbies are onto the vets +Dem’s attempt to reunite, and formed their counter alliance to rid of them all (this was 2 weeks in the making). After a peaceful few days, Kevin and Ika are back to distrusting one another, despite being the final 2 veterans left in the house. Now the plan going into next week is to nominate one of the vets with their showmance partners, and repeat the pattern until the vets are removed once and for all from the Big Brother Odyssey.
As you can see, this is a tale of how outside influence, cliques, high-school like attitudes, distrust and hierarchy can destroy a group of people who entered the Odyssey in a privileged position. We did see some of this in the previous seasons (especially BB18), but never to this extent. 6 out of the first evictees are about to be veterans, with the pattern continuing. If I missed anything, add it to the comments.

Simon,
You should play BB! Have you thought about it?

Ika is Queen, a good witch and a bad witch.
She makes the show interesting.
At first i’m against returnees, but Ika has turned this BB around to me big time, I put her up there with the alltime best HGs’ of BB.
Do I want Dillon, Jackie and Karen to win?…I do not
Dre or William…no
Kevin or Bruno, tough spot, Bruno likely gone tonight and Kevin gone 1st chance William can not help
Demetres is tops, but Ika is Queen!
I say Ika!!!
