After a huge Double Eviction, the entire BBCAN5 house has been shaken up. Let's try and break down how everyone played through these two evictions, and where I think everyone will go next.
1. Neda
Strategy: 0
Social: 20
Showplay:200
Awards:
Neda's time in the game is up in a brutal blindside of an eviction. I like Neda, she was my favorite player in #BBCAN2 and coming into the season, she was my 2nd favorite of BBCAN right behind Cass. That said, there were flaws to her game that I was vaguely aware of, but had pretended not to exist during my BBCAN2 watch, that were magnified in BBCAN5.
Neda has a severe weakness when it comes to the social game of Big Brother. She has great reads, and is absolutely fearless about going after what she wants, but she also has trust issues and trouble connecting with anyone outside of her small trust circle. In BBCAN2, that left Jon to do a lot of the external social gameplaying, with her playing the part of "strategist" and helping him come up with moves. Neda was the Spock to Jon's Captain Kirk, but this is Next Generation now, and she had no real place in this game. (Okay Geen rant over)
Neda played a dominant game, and the talk is going to be that her immunity was a double edged sword, but I dispute that. Neda's downfall was taking Ika's loyalty and gameplay for granted. Week after week, Ika helped Neda, by hurting her own game. Neda repaid the favor by continuing to demand more. This was the week where it was finally too much. Getting into a fight over Dillon vs. Emily. There was just no need for that, and the result was that Ika was through helping Neda, and finally willing to turn on her.
And so when Sindy won HOH, the Ika vs. Neda clash played out in a brutal fashion.
Preseason Prediction: Ninth place.
Week 2 Prediction: Winner
Week 3 Prediction: Winner
Week 4 Prediction: Winner
11th Place: 1st Juror
2. Dillon
Strategy: 0
Social: 0
Showplay:100
Awards: DoucheCanoe (credit to Stinaknits on twitter for the term)
Dillon stayed, because Neda and Brevin were determined to spend all their social capital to keep him. Well done, I guess.
Preseason Prediction: Let's say 3rd boot or so. Maybe he wins an POV and gets a little swagger in his step before he is brutally taken out.
2nd Week Prediction: 10th place.
3rd Week Prediction: 12th Place
Week 6 Prediction: 2nd Place
3. Gary
Prediction: Prejury. Let's say 5th boot.
2nd Week Prediction: 9th Place
3rd Week Prediction: 13th Place
13th Place
4. Dre
Strategy: 50
Social: 10
Showplay: 170
Dre is an entertaining HG, and I'm glad she stayed over Gary because she was responsible for the Bruno Backdoor plan this week that provided a glimmer of real hope for these newbies. But her constant calls to "turn up" were followed by her letting William get controlled by Ika and Kevin, and she ultimately was unsuccesful in accomplishing anything this week.
Preseason Prediction: PreJury. 2nd boot.
2nd Week Prediction: 12th place
3rd Week Prediction: 12th Place
4th Prediction: 10th Place
Week 6 Prediction: 3rd Place
5. Ika
Social: 60
Strategy: 10
Award: Dr. Will award for getting Neda out in the double (+100)
Show: 600
Awards: Star of the Show
BBCAN5 is going to be remembered as Ika's season, no matter where she finishes. I hope she goes far, but I still doubt it with the trainwreck of a game she's been playing.
But this is the week for praising Ika, since this was the week she got out Neda in a brilliant display of force. Double Evictions are all about being aggressive, and Ika was. She turned up, and attacked, and her efforts were rewarded with the head of her greatest enemy. It was impressive, especially because I really don't see it being a great move for Sindy the one who did it, but we'll see.
Preseason Prediction: 7th Place
2nd Week Prediction: 11th Place
3rd Week Prediction: 11th Place
4th Week Prediction: 9th Place
6th Week Prediction: 7th Place
6. Karen
Strategy: 90
Social: 90
Show: 260
Awards: Best Player of the Week
I was wrong about Karen. She is the best thing about BBCAN5. The #IHateKevinMartinClub is incredibly funny. And while everyone else was bickering about who to keep, Karen picked up the loyalty of BOTH Dillon and Emily. Karen is severely underestimated in this game, but she is building herself her own base of power. The only question is will the jury be able to understand the game she is playing, and respect it?

Kudos to William for duping Kevin into almost using the veto, but Ika scuttled that plan. He made a small bullshit move, but he's probably safe a while.
Preseason Prediction: 4th Boot

Sindy made a huge move. I have no idea if it will play out well for her, but she's definitely not just coasting to the end.
Preseason Prediction: 1st Juror. 11th Place.

Awards:
Bruno's game crashed this week, as he was unable to properly control a week, and his connections were exposed for being very shallow.
Preseason Prediction: 10th Place

14. Demetres

Demetres is connected to Ika, but unfortunately he may be considered the muscle of that pair, and without Neda there he may be the one who gets targeted first.
Preseason Prediction: 6th Place
2nd Week Prediction: 7th Place
3rd Week Prediction: 7th Place
6th Week Prediction: 10th Place
