Big Brother Canada 12

[Solaris]

the fact the Lexus voted for Bayleigh over him says EVERYTHING.  

[Solaris]

Final ranking of the season:

 

1. Bayleigh - queen shit.  Winning against Canada's Paul, breaking a 6 season curse the started with the pretty boys.

2. Spicy Vee - she was everything this season.  A complete gold standard for reality tv contestants.  She brought it every episode until the end of the season.

3. Kayla - ugh I feel bad for how she went out.

4. Avery - her two disasterous HOH's, but she is still my home province girl.

5. Todd - he grew on me, and was fun to root for. My favorite Canada's favorite player, at least in a long time.

6. Donna - robbed queen.  Her leaving actually helped the girls even though she was team Big Sister all season.

7. Dinis - his backdoor lead to a huge chain of events in the bb can house. 

8. Vivek - Karma got him

9. Janine - gave us some week 1 gold!

10. Lexus - coasting fodder.

11. Elijah - I never cared for him girls dragged him to first juror and then he voted for Anthony.  Get outta here. I have never referred to him as Goose and never will.

12. Matthew - see Tola but was lessing annoying due to his short time in the game.

13. Tola - camera mugging, Anthony minion.

14. Anthony - He is not a fun villain in any facet.  He has the most over inflated ego in the history of Big Brother Canada.  We had to sit through an entire second season of him, for him to break his own curse of no women winning. He is one of my most disliked players of all time.  I will take almost any problematic individual over him.

OMG SO SO HAPPY BAYLEIGH WON!

I knew bayleigh would win when he cut Lexus.  I can’t believe he did that.  Whoever is in the house can tell that bayleighs been the stronger player mentally and physically.   It’s like Anthony wanted to lose but congrats to bayleigh!

 

tola voting bayleigh was a shock

lexus was a shock but not as shocking as tola

i wasn’t sure how goose would vote.  He could have went either way 

 

I think Anthony burned too many bridges this time around and the jury didn’t like it.

Anthony going for sympathy talking about his mom, the loss of his job and the passing of his friend.  No one cares when they are voting.   That final speech just made him look worse.  Hopefully he can check his douchebaggery now that he has been humiliated in votes twice.  Even Paul lost 5-4 twice.  Anthonys record is 13-1..... I would say Paul of Canada, but I think he's more Russell Hantz of Big Brother.

I hate Anthony, but the way he manipulated and ran the game was impressive. He really made some bad decisions near the end. 

 

Firstly, I feel like Anthony didn't want to take Lexus because of the "history" they mention and he probably thought she was likely to win as the first black female BBCAN winner. Definitely a mistake on his part as I think Lexus not cutting Anthony at F4 was a game losing move, and Anthony would have beaten her. Jury did not seem to respect Lexus' game. 

 

Even against Bayleigh, he had a chance if he actually owned his game. Why not talk about all the seeds planted to break up the girls, the invented lies to get Kayla out, how he was able to convince so many people to put their #1 as the backdoor. Instead he talked about his tragedy BEFORE the game and then how he's a great player and never on the block over 2 seasons. He came off as a lazy manipulator that took naps and betrayed everyone, and did not give any specific examples.

 

Finally, he should probably not have cut Victoria. She really was playing for him to be in the F2, and he would have beaten her. If Victoria was still there, all the girls would probably feel betrayed by her rat game and loyalness to Anthony over all of them. With her getting cut by him, she also had a huge influence over the jury against him.

I agree that he made mistakes.  His move against Kayla was the move of the game and he made no effort in dissecting that.

 

The women were literally rooting for Victoria from jury though, so that last part is wrong.  She'd have bodied him in a final 2 scenario.  She'd have had Elijah, Avery, Kayla, Bayleigh and Todd.

Because he had that speech planned from the moment he walked into the game, and he was unable to adapt.  He's also does not come across as humble, and was quick to dismiss the other players' success (re: mentioning of some of the competition). He underestimated Bayleigh, and the moment he said he wanted to take the most beatable person with him was another nail in the coffin for him.  Also, he may have been manipulated every one but he could have done it without always talking about loyalty because that's what did it for him in the end ; I think if he had played the game without giving the feeling that loyalty meant everything to him, he probably could have done better.  But again, he still haven't figured out that the people you manipulated and turn against are the one that vote against you so you still need to soften them up a bit ; Had he done Spicy Vee blindside differently, I think she wouldn't have been as harsh as she was on him.

"Loyalty" is Anthony's "Friendship"

I think the Victoria thing depends on how things would have played out. Like if Bayleigh left instead in 5th with Todd and Victoria voting, and went to jury feeling super betrayed by V? IDK I feel like if the girls realized just how she ratted everything out to Anthony, while acting 100% "for the girls", they would have been more bitter against her. Or he could have cut V in 3rd place too, which would have been seen as a big move at the finale and prevented her from influencing the jury.

Sounds like Lexus would have beat Anthony too.

Knowing how bad Bayleigh wanted a female winner, no way she would have voted against Spicy Vee in any scenario. 

[kamil24]

Still surprised at how bad his speech was, I am starting to think he would have lost to Lexus too with that.

[*Wallace]

Okay got around to watching the finale. Posting my thoughts now:

 

- LOL woww watching this opening recap for the finale was insane! Seeing the newbies saying they would all stick together and take out the vets. Then seeing the Anthony & Victoria's final 2 deal when they entered the house.... and we saw how that all fell apart.
- Lol okay even seeing this heated Anthony & Bayleigh argument early in the game and then seeing how close they got as an "alliance" is still so odd to me.
- lol I also can't believe how Lexus made it to the Final 3. Like I get it but.... it also feels so random to me? lmao.
- LOL the narrator making it such a big dramatic moment of Anthony touching the block after 132 days of gameplay.
- I knew this season recap would be long but DANGG did it really need to be nearly 12 minutes long? My gosh. But they did a great job covering all of the high (and low) lights of the game.
- Oooh the first HoH game is Inside Out 2 inspired.
- OMG Anthony almost completely the orange orbs but lmao thankfully that green one went in it.
- Ughh nooo, the same thing happened to Bayleigh, ughh.
- Dangg Lexus is doing terribly in this.
- I like that Lexus wants to be the first black woman to win BBCAN. I would normally and usually be here for that but not this season (especially since Victoria can't take that title), but hopefully next season.
- Ugh Anthony is slaying. Catch up please, Bayleigh! Ugh Anthony got 32 to her 18.... not enough time for her to catch up, sadly.
- Ugh Anthony won that first part, which was expecting. Dang. But he slayed it. Bayleigh to win Part 2, please! Really hoping she can stay calm and cool under pressure, which ugh Lexus is so good with that.
- Wow Bayleigh looks like she is slaying this Part 2 HoH comp! Please let this be her comp. Ughh that last question tripped her up a bit but she looked like she did a great job.
- Come on Lexus, please lose. You're likely going to the Final 2 with Anthony or Bayleigh anyway. OMG LOL Lexus is going so slow motion in this. What gives? Not that I don't mind it lol. Just hope her slowness works against her. But she is really giving us "go girl, give us nothing." I just hope this edit wasn't meant to fake us.
- OMG YESSS Bayleigh won the 2nd part of the HoH comp in 10 minutes!!! Yesss, so proud of her staying cool, calm and not being under pressure there! Now she's got a true shot. Just need to win that part 3!
- lmaoo Bayleigh's reactions in this HoH is hilarious.
- OMGG this Part 3 ending in a tie. Ughh so scared.
- Ughhh dangg it, Bayleigh messed up and went over on that tiebreaker. UGHH SHE WAS DOING SOOO GOOD. Ugh ugh ughh. And ughhh of course Anthony wins that final HoH.... ugh ugh ugh.
- OMGGG Anthony's emotional speech. And whoa whoa whoa whoa whoaaa..... I DID NOT seeeee this coming!!! Anthony voted to evict Lexus??? He really thought Lexus had a better shot of beating him?? OMGG I AM SOOO SHOOK by this!!! Like wow wow wowww. I am stunned. I am shocked! But yayy Anthony got yet another mad jury member at him. 
- Aww I do lowkey feel bad for Lexus. Omgg she was savage with that "money over loyalty" line. She did leave in a classy way. But also shame on Lexus for not evicting Anthony when she had the chance to do so at Final 4. She could have got him then!
- But woww I am stunned. I NEVER would have imagined Anthony to take Bayleigh to the Final 2 with him! He is in for a whirlwind of shock. He is in for a rude awakening as I imagine he's gonna lose badly to Bayleigh. I can't wait to see this now!
- Ahh it was nice and fun seeing the pre-jury back on the show and wow they get interviewed early on. Aww loving Donna's happiness and being so proud for Bayleigh making it this far. Matthew had some nice and sweet words for Lexus.
- Aww booo that Arisa didn't make the jury guess who was evicted. Ugh I wanted to see who they would have guessed.
- Both Bayleigh & Anthony did well with answering their questions from the jury.
- lmaoo Anthony shaking his head at Bayleigh when she was answeing Tola's question. But wow she SLAYED his question when she made those chess references. Wow I think she cemented her title with that answer (though she already did when Anthony evicted Lexus over her).
- Hmm Anthony thinking Bayleigh was the most beatable of that Final 4. I think not but lmao I am living for this big game mistake he made.
- Wow Bayleigh really killed it with her final plea to win the game! She is honestly once again cementing herself to win this show. I really hope she can win this! LMAOO her reaction when Arisa told her that was enough time....
- Anthony made a good plea for himself and I like that he owned up to betraying people, but I am not as moved or motivated to vote for him like I would be for Bayleigh.
- Okay if that intro hadn't been so dang long... we could have had some more fun fesitivies with the houseguests. But nope.
- Oooh lmaooo woww at Todd winning Canada's Favorite Player. I am NOT surprised about that. He's a fun lolzy player/person and was fun to see learn and have fun in the game. I can get why Canada loved him!
- Ahhh final results time.... I'm scared and nervicted!
- Alright not surprised with Elijah voting for Anthony.
- Yayy Kayla voting for Bayleigh!
- Yayy Avery voting for Bayleigh!
- LOL i loved Bayleigh's shocked reaction of Tola voting for her. But yayy Tola for that!
- Yayy Victoria voting for Bayleigh!
- And yayyy Bayleigh has officially won BBCAN!!! Wowww I am soooo proud and happy for her pulling out and off that win! Whoever would have imagined or saw this coming at Week 2/3 of this game when she was a prime target to go... and even on Week 4 when Elijah wanted and FAILED to get her out. And lmaoo now Elijah failed once again in not voting for her to win. Yayy soo proud and happy for Bayleigh.
- Ooh yayy Todd & Lexus voting for Bayleigh. I knew Todd would vote for Bayleigh, of course. Didn't know with Lexus but with how Anthony betrayed her last minute, I totally get that. Very proud of Lexus' with that vote! 

Wow this has been an insane really rollercoaster of a season.

I was surprised he brought his personal life stuff into his speech. But I'm guessing he knew he was losing and had to throw in one last hail mary on his side - which didn't work.

 

Oh wow I forgot he had 0 votes to win last time.  Wow.... well, at least he got a vote this time?

Same.  

[*Wallace]

I'm trying to figure out my rankings and thoughts, so I think this is what I got so far:

 

1. Kayla - When I find my #1, I stick with them through and through. I loved Kayla and she deserved better.
2. Bayleigh - Her journey on this show was such a fascinating watch. She started off as a hot-headed target, then turned into an underdog and turned into a dominant force to win it all - it was all a wild ride and so fun to watch!
3. Victoria "Spicy Vee" - She is entertainment and reality TV gold for sure. But she was just too frustrating with her gameplay at times for me to place her in the Top 2. She is a star that gave us a lot, no matter what.
4. Todd - He's fun and lolzy. He's probably the houseguest that grew the most on me. I enjoyed watching as a player with no game experience and growing in that aspect. I also loved his friendship with Bayleigh.
5. Donna - She was fun and feisty. I liked her game motives and her intentions. It's a shame we couldn't see more of that.
6. Dinis - He would have made the game SO different had he had power. He deserved better.
7. Avery - Ugh those two messy HoHs. But her second HoH really turned me against her. I liked her outside of that when she didn't have power, at least. 
8. Lexus - Go girl give us nothing. She's alright, she's fine but I just wanted more from her. Well done to her getting as far as she did.
9. Elijah - OK I think he kinda gets a bit of a bad rep on here? His gameplay when he had power and his game motives weren't it. But I found him kinda funny in an awkward way. And he did make me laugh.
 10. Matthew - He was okay/fine/just there. He did seem nice enough and inoffensive. I didn't dislike him but also wanted more from him.
11. Janine - I liked her and would have liked to have seen more from her. But I also wasn't too heartbroken when she left.
12. Tola - I feel.... mixed on Tola? He has a strong/good backstory and overall doesn't seem like a bad guy. But he just was against my favorites and I was terrified with how long he lasted in the game. But at least his HoH only took out Avery rather than a bigger favorite. He did win me over a bit at jury and voting for Bayleigh.
13. Anthony - Wow there's A LOT to say about his gameplay but I don't have the energy to get into all of that. I will say his manipulation and running the game was impressive and he did well for the most part. I didn't like or care for a lot of his tactics - like the false lies on Kayla and the Victoria blindside, but I get what he needed to do to get to the Final 2. But those were the biggest low lights for me. His Final 2 blunder was kind of a poetic ending for his game. I don't really know where I stand with him but he certainly was a big character.
14. Vivek - He's alright. But mannnn his HoH was a hot mess and that karma really bit him hard. It was embarrassing how easily controlled he was and turned on his closest ally.

[FunkyFrankie]

Maybe Anthony put Lexus on the jury because he thought he could get her jury vote
