Ash: The Telephone Game

Ash is back with another overnight analysis. Take it away, Ash!

The new power alliance

"It's spring and things quite possibly might be heating up in the BB Canada house.  Jillian claimed victory over Thursday night's HOH comp after battling it out in the end with Topaz.  Deals were made, but until we see the episode (or possibly after dark) it's not clear what those deals actually were.  Jill and Topaz have both made the statement that Jill promised Topaz safety, but the rest is a little more foggy depending on which one you talk to.  Topaz claims and told Alec that Jill promised to put up Andrew and Talla and to keep their significant others/showmances safe.  Alec relayed this information to Emmett who went to Jill and asked if she made such a deal.  Jill says no.  She says she promised not to put Topaz up, but beyond that, Topaz said she was going to put up Andrew and Talla and Jill said she MIGHT do the same.  

Unshielded

Jill and Emmett still working as one unit are planning as of now to put up both members of The Shield alliance, with Alec to be the target to go.  Emmett says once they are nominated he still plans to play his alliance with Peter and Alec as long as he can and is going to feign shock at Jill putting them up.  What he doesn't know is that Alec via Topaz via Talla already knows that Emmett has a deal with Andrew and Talla and will likely not be all that shocked to be targeted.  While Talla is still in the house there will likely be no scheming that isn't tattled from one side to the other.  It's disappointing to say the least since half the fun of watching BB live feeds is watching the strategy that involved betraying one's alliances...sigh.

Uh oh.

Jillian has also spoken to Talla and Andrew and told them of her plan to put up Peter and Alec.  They both agree that worst case scenario would be Topaz winning and taking Alec off so that they would have to put up Andrew or Talla, but they still have the votes to get Peter out if that happened.

I will admit that I kind of hate to see the Shield broken up and a large part of me kind of hopes that somehow Topaz or Talla end up on the block and voted out (and yes I know this isn't likely).  Regardless of what happens I think this should be an interesting week.  It's a far cry from the boring drag weeks where everyone wants the same person out.  I'm hoping to see some hard gaming and maybe even some explosions this week.  That's why we watch, right? 

Smooth operator

In other news, the relatively perceptive Emmett doesn't only have his eyes on Peter and Alec at this point.  Talla seems to be on his last nerve with her flighty floating back and forth to power, or being a "jumper" as Topaz calls her.  He has also decided she is not as stupid as she seems and that she is most likely acting.  Talla should probably stop being "busy" when it comes to gaming at this point or her number is going to be up really soon too.  Not that seeing her walk would make me sad.  My eardrums would be so grateful.

So that's just a little update on where we are at.  There are a million other twists and turns in strategy going on right now.  What do you all think is going to happen?  What would you like to see happen?"
