Will Zach Survive?

    After Sarah won “Head of Household”, and nominated the house's last showmance of the season, Zach and Ashleigh for eviction, it was a battle for POV on Monday night's episode of Big Brother Canada. The ideal scenario for the “Diaper Alliance” seemed to be for Pilar to win POV and remove Ashleigh, forcing Sarah to nominate Godfrey in her place. As Pilar began to stress about their sticky situation, Ashleigh tried to comfort her by insisting no matter what happens, Pilar was not going home this week.

    Two months into the game of Big Brother, Pilar finally made the decision to talk some game when she met up with Sarah in the HOH room. It's about time, Pilar! We were starting to wonder if you realized you were in the Big Brother house, or if you thought you were just away at camp. Although it seemed to be Pilar in appearance, the only thing we heard out of her mouth was Zach. Zach took the initiative to try to come up with a plan to keep the 3 members of his alliance all in the house together. This plan involved Ashleigh and Pilar trying to create a final four, “all girls” deal with Brittnee and Sarah.

    I have to admit, I'm amazed by Pilar's game play. She's consistent, if nothing else. Meaning, her game play is always terrible. Despite arguing that she is “not a quitter”, she gave up and quit the POV competition for the second time this season. Although, Pilar definitely was not the only one to have trouble with this Power of Veto competition. Zach majorly struggled trying to put the puzzle together in the right order. I guess “Captain Canada” is only good at things that do not involve memory. Godfrey finally decided to actually compete, for what seems to be the first time this season. Although his efforts went unnoticed, as Ashleigh pulled out on top, winning the POV just in time to save herself.

    Ashleigh winning the Power of Veto, may seem to have sealed Zach's faith in this game, but Zach would argue that he has both her and Pilar wrapped around his finger. Not having any other options, Ashleigh decided to approach Sarah about the final four deal that Zach came up with, in order to try to save her alliance. However, Sarah saw right through her lies. Let's just say if Canada was voting for “worst liars” rather than “best make out scene”, Ashleigh and Pilar would win for sure. In the words of Sarah, “these girls are playing for second place, and will not go against Zach”, and we couldn't agree with her more.

    Being the manipulative guy he is, Zach tried one last time to save himself, trying to use his emotions and connection with Ashleigh to convince her to use the veto to save him, rather than herself. Despite considering his side purely out of loyalty to him, Ashleigh finally decided to play the game for herself, rather than for Zach and used the POV for her own game, instead of his, removing herself from the block. 

    Although Zach says he wants Godfrey to be put on the block next to him, his speech during the veto ceremony seems to say otherwise. Threatening the head of household, telling her to be careful who she puts on the block by your side, and making a point that you are targeting her next, definitely is not a way to get what you want. Zach's efforts aside, Sarah choose to put Pilar on the block next to him. In Sarah's speech, she made a point to make sure everyone knows who her target is. She told Pilar she is on the block because she knows she will be safe this week, but how true is that really?
    Is Zach a siting duck, waiting to be evicted, or does he still stand a chance in this game? Will The Godfather Godfrey flip once again, and decide to keep Zach to benefit his game? Will Queen B decide to keep her not so secret crush in order to try to start that spark one final time? And who will Ashleigh show her loyalty too? Her no-mance showmance Zach, who only seems interested in her when beneficial to him, or her best friend in the house Pilar? Will Captain Canada be the one to join jury, or will Pilar be reunited with her showmance Kevin? Zach insists he isn't giving up, so I guess we'll all find out Wednesday night. Of course with this week being a double eviction, no body is safe.
