Five Drinks Into Reality TV: Putting Big Brother Canada 5 to Bed

Tom's Take

I'm going to go through every member of this cast, giving some final points, giving them their grade, and then ranking every BB winner by gameplay, and every Season of BB by my enjoyment.

1. Neda

Image result for big brother canada 5: Neda


Preseason Prediction: Ninth place.
Week 2 Prediction: Winner
Week 3 Prediction: Winner
Week 4 Prediction: Winner

11th Place: 1st Juror


Gameplay Ranking: 8th
Showplay Ranking: 7th
Final Grade: B+

Neda is getting a lot of shit outside the house, because she was ultimately the villain of this season, and was evicted as soon as her immunity ran out. However, she was a pretty solid villain, and she ran the game prejury. Like Andrew and Kenny in BBCAN2, Neda's fall from power was essential to the story of BBCAN5. I rooted for Ika this season, but Neda brought it.



2. Dillon

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
Week 7 Prediction: 2nd Place
Week 8 Prediction: 2nd Place
Projected Winner
5th Place

Gameplay Ranking: 7th
Showplay Ranking: 8th
Overall Grade: C+

I ended up liking Dillon more than I thought I would, but he definitely had some marks against him and some dumb dumb comments. Ultimately, I think I'm more positive than negative, so kudos. He was a replacement level player.

3. Gary

Prediction: Prejury. Let's say 5th boot.
2nd Week Prediction: 9th Place
3rd Week Prediction: 13th Place
13th Place

Gamplay: 11th
Showplay: 9th
Overall Grade: B+

I liked Gary a lot more than I expected to, but his flippy floppiness in the game could get annoying at times, and I feel like he was ultimately one of the less entertaining costars for the Ika show. I personally preferred Cass and Dre in that role.



4. Dre

Preseason Prediction: PreJury. 2nd boot.
2nd Week Prediction: 12th place
3rd Week Prediction: 12th Place
4th Prediction: 10th Place
Week 6 Prediction: 3rd Place
Week 7 Prediction: Winner
Week8 Prediction: Winner

7th Place

Gameplay: 5th
Showplay: 3rd
Overall Grade: A

I know people really turned on Dre, and they hate "turnip" but I really enjoyed Dre. She was the newbie who really tried to win this game strategically, and there was a point where she had it, but then her love for Ika got in her way and it caused her to play an absolutely disastrous week (night really) right before the fatal triple eviction.  She also twerked in the middle of an argument.

5. Ika

Preseason Prediction: 7th Place
2nd Week Prediction: 11th Place
3rd Week Prediction: 11th Place
4th Week Prediction: 9th Place
6th Week Prediction: 7th Place
7th Week Prediction: 7th Place
8th Week Prediction: 7th Place
Week 9 Prediction: 4th Place
4th Place

Gameplay: 2nd
Showplay: 1st
Overall Grade: A+

Ika fucking Wong was the queen of BBCAN5, and she ran the season. She should be the first BBCAN player to get a 3rd call to play, and she proved to be the best BBCAN casting ever, and an elite overall casting choice.  My only advice for Ika is to run, don't walk away from the #Demika fandom. Cuz shippers be crazy.

6. Karen

Showplay: 100

I fucking love That Karen Singbeil. And all you haters are little pukes who need to shut up.


7. Dallas

Preseason Prediction: 5th Place
2nd Boot

Gameplay: 15th
Showplay: 14th
Overall Grade: C

Dallas didn't do well, but he gave us an entertaining flop.

8. Mark

Preseason Prediction: 1st Boot
Week 1: First Boot. (Nailed it!)

Gameplay: 16th
Showplay: 16th
Overall Grade: N/A

We never got to see Mark on feeds.



9. Cass

Cassandra's Image



Preseason Prediction: 4th Place
2nd Week prediction: 3rd Boot
3rd Boot

Gameplay: 14th
Showplay: 6th
Overall Grade: A+

Cassandra was the line against which all other hgs this season were judged in terms of showplay, and most were found wanting. In 3 weeks she gamed up a storm, and provided a tragic figure for the first act of BBCAN5

10. William

Preseason Prediction: 4th Boot
2nd Week Prediction: 6th Place
3rd Week Prediction: 6th Place
4th Week Prediction: 6th Place
6th Week Prediction: 6th Place
7th Week Prediction: 6th Place
8th Week Prediction: 5th Place
6th Place

Gameplay: 10th
Showplay: 10th
Overall Grade: C

William gave us the chance to hear Alex Kidwell's french impression, but other than that he didn't do much in this season for me.

11. Sindy

Preseason Prediction: 1st Juror. 11th Place.
2nd week Prediction: 4th Place
3rd Week Prediction: 4th Place
4th Week Prediction: 4th Place
6th Week Prediction: 4th Place

10th Place


Gameplay: 6th
Showplay: 15th
Overall Grade: C-

Oh I hate doing this, cuz I genuinely like Sindy, but she was wallpaper up until the double eviction, and then she blew her game away. She played better than most, but it was boring.



12. Jackie

Preseason Prediction: 8th Place
2nd Week Prediction: 13th Place
3rd Week Prediction: 9th Place
4th Week Prediction: 11th Place
6th Week Prediction: 5th Place
7th Week Prediction: 5th Place
8th Week Prediction: 4th Place
8th Place

Gameplay: 12th
Showplay: 11th
Overall Grade: D

Jackie got some show points because of the mythology that built up around her, but she was a really bad player. She attempted to float, but failed miserably at it. And people said she was a rat floater, which is an insult to Andy Herren, and pissed me off.



13. Bruno

Preseason Prediction: 10th Place
2nd Week Prediction: 8th Place
3rd Week Prediction: 8th Place
4th Week Prediction: 8th Place
5th Week Prediction: 8th Place
7th Week Prediction: 9th Place

9th Place

Gameplay: 4th
Showplay: 12th
Overall Grade: C

I think Bruno played well, even though I don't think his style will ever exactly be electric television.


14. Demetres

Show: 100

2nd Week Prediction: 7th Place
3rd Week Prediction: 7th Place
6th Week Prediction: 10th Place
7th Week Prediction: 8th Place
8th Week Prediction: 8th Place
Week 9 Prediction: 5th Place
Final Prediction: 3rd Place
3rd Place

Gameplay: 1st
Showplay: 4th
Overall Grade: A+

Demetres killed it this season. I think he played the best overall game, and it sucked that he got beaten by Kevin in the end. If he had won the final 2 comps, he would have tied Janelle's comp record and we would have had the f2 we deserved.


15. Kevin

Preseason: Winner Pick
2nd Week Prediction: 5th Place
3rd Week Prediction: 5th Place
4th Week Prediction: 5th Place
6th Week Prediction 9th Place
7th Week Prediction: 4th Place
8th Week Prediction: 6th Place
Week 9 Prediction: 3rd Place
Last Prediction: Winner
Winner

Gameplay: 3rd
Showplay: 5th
Overall Grade: B

I think Kevin was a disappointing winner for me, but he killed those comps, and so I give him his due. He's a nice guy, and I think we can be happy for him. I putting him high up in the 3rd quartile of winners for now, but we'll see how I feel in a year.

16. Emily

12th Place

Gameplay: 13th

Not bad. Replacement level player in my opinion.
