## Player History

### **Big Brother Canada 2:**

Imani started the game quietly by staying out of the drama for the first few weeks. It wasn't until Week 3 that Imani began her game plan when she started to get to get closer to Week 3's *Head Of Household* Slush, they already were forming a close bond with each other, they then decided to make a final 2 deal together. To help them have more allies in the house they went to Vanessa and roped her in with them forming an alliance named "The Vanessites". When Emzotic won the *Who Da Daddy Competition* that same weekshe secretly nominated Vanessa as the third nominee, Imani and the rest of The Vanessites got nervous about already losing a member before their alliance could even start. Luckily during the Week 3 *Power of Veto Competition* Vanessa was able to pull out the win and remove herself off of the block solidifying that Imani wouldn't be losing a alliance member during the first week of The Vanessites being formed. After Slush's HOH reign the two of them went back to hanging out and spending more and more time together, where they eventually started to form a romantic connection with each other and became an official S*howmance* called "Slushani". Over the next few weeks Imani took control of the alliance by becoming the brains of the group. During Week 5 when Baka became *HOH* he tried to target Vanessa which put The Vanessites in danger, thankfully Imani was picked to play in the Veto, she knew she was going to have try and snag this Veto to keep herself and her alliance safe. Luckily for her the odds were in her favor when Imani was able to Snatch up the Veto and win her first competition of the season. When it was time for the *POV* Ceremony Imani without any hesitation used the *POV* to take Vanessa off of the block keeping The Vanessites intact for yet another week. The very next week Imani finally hit her stride and won her first *Head of Household Competition* and became the Week 6 *HOH,* it was then thatImani, Slush and Vanessa decided to put the final stake in the "Porklina" coffin when she nominated Rosalina for eviction along side Hoshi using him as a pawn. Even though Valerie won the *POV* that week and used it to save Hoshi, Imani wasn't to stressed because she decided to just name Emzotic as a replacement pawn. The rest of Imani's *HOH* reign went smoothly when she was able to successfully get her target Rosalina evicted in unanimous 4-0 vote. It was then after that tensions between The Vanessites and the Tiny Tits alliances reached an all time high and the battle for power truly began. It was now Week 7 and the top 6 were split in half with one side of the house being Imani and The Vanessites and the other side being the Tiny Tits. Since Imani was the outgoing *HOH* she could only sit back and hope that either Vanessa or Slush would score the *HOH* win and have the power to take the first shot at the Tiny Tits, but unfortunately for them Valerie beat them to it where she won the Week 7 *Head of Household Competition.*Imani knew her and Slush were in the most danger so it was no surprise to them when Valerie nominated the showmance for the first time that season. Imani was extremely nervous going into the *POV* Comp because she knew that whether she won this Veto or not that she was going to be damned if she did win or damned if she didn't win because either way one of them was going to leave, but Imani knew she had to fight her hardest to win the competition because even though it would mean Slush would get the boot she wasn't ready to leave the competition yet. When it came time to compete in the Veto none of The Vanessites were able to win it, instead Hoshi stole the win from them and to no ones surprise he kept Valerie's nominations the same, solidifying that the showmance would be torn apart. Imani and Slush decided not to campaign against each other and let the house decide. On eviction night the house decided to save Imani and send Slush to the jury in a clean 3-0 vote, Imani felt a wave of bittersweet emotions knowing that she still had a chance to win this game but was crushed that she would be losing such a close ally in the game. Now it was her and Vanessa up against the Tiny Tits going into Week 8, but The Vanessites string of bad luck kept going when Hoshi pulled out another win and became the new *HOH* and threw Imani right back on the block with Vanessa. Imani knew she might not get lucky again at the next eviction so she put all of her energy into the *POV Competition,* but it still wasn't enough when Hoshi won the Veto once again, he of course didn't use the *POV* and kept Imani and Vanessa up on the block. This was set a fire inside Imani where she spent the entire rest of the week slowly and strategically campaigning to stay, meanwhile Vanessa started implode which helped sell Imani's case to the Tiny Tits, with Vanessa completely shutting down by the time eviction night came around, Imani was able to survive eviction once again when Vanessa was evicted by a 2-0 vote, which left Imani as the sole surviving member of The Vanessites. It was now Week 9 and Imani could feel the pressure of this week building as she was one week away from being in the finale. All Imani had to do was win either *HOH* or *POV* to seal a spot in the top 3. Even with Imani fired up she couldn't nab the *HOH* win, instead Valerie became *HOH* and earned a position in the top 3. So when it was time for nominations nobody was shocked when Imani was nominated for the third time in a row. Imani knew that she could not lose this final Veto competition it was make or break, her entire game came relied on winning this Veto, she put everything she had into this competition and ultimately she pulled it out and won the final *POV* of the season and earning herself a ticket to compete the finale. It was time for the Veto ceremony and of course Imani used it on herself, which forced Valerie to name Hoshi as the replacement nominee. Now it was time for Imani to make the decision of who she was going to evict as she was going to be the only person voting on eviction night, she could not believe the power was in her hands after 3 weeks of being knocked down again and again. Imani thought about who she was going to be sending home all week long, she weighed the pros and cons between Hoshi and Emzotic, and she kept flip flopping back and forth all week. It was finally eviction night and Imani had to make a decision, she stood in front of the house and to everyone's shock she voted to evict Emzotic from the house. No one could believe that Imani didn't take out Hoshi but Imani said she wanted to compete against the best of the best in the finale and that if she wins she wanted to win by beating her strongest competitors. It was finally finale night and Imani knew she had a bit more to go before it was all over. First up was Part 1 of the final *HOH* and Imani used that fire that was still left in her heart and pulled out the win which meant she would be moving immediately onto Part 3 of the final *HOH*. All Imani knew was that she didn't want to go against Hoshi in Part 3, she ended up getting her wish because Valerie won Part 2 which meant Imani was going to go head to head with Valerie in Part 3. The time had finally come and it was neck and neck between the two and Imani knew she had to win or else she was over, it came down to the wire and Imani scooped up the win where she became the final *Head of Household* of the season. After Imani won it was time for her to decide who she was bringing to the final 2 this was a decision she already made the moment she won Part 3, she stood in front of the Tiny Tits duo where she cast the sole vote to evict Hoshi and make him the final member of the jury. After making it to the Final Two, the Jury accused her of floating throughout the game. However, Imani argued that she did not float because of her under-the-radar gameplay, and she made moves that benefited her throughout the game and only won the competitions she needed to win, along with saying she survived on her own after her alliance were evicted and that she single handedly dismantled the Tiny Tits. With being able to prove her ability to survive against the odds it enabled her to win *Big Brother Canada 2* by a unprecedented jury vote of 6–3.
