I can't wait to entertain you.
It's that time of year again, Big Brother Canada season 3 launches on Global TV March 23rd. Following in the footsteps of Big Brother US, the Canadian version follows its competition and eviction format. Essentially at the start of the season, 14-16 move into a house packed with cameras, footage is streamed online to the masses, and each week someone is evicted by other members of the house until only two are left. Then the previous 6-7 people who were evicted act as a jury to choose the winner. Canada throws their own twists in from time to time, but if you're familiar with BB US, you'll be at home with BB Canada.

The Houseguests

https://bigbrothercanada.globaltv.com/theshow/houseguests

  • Ashleigh - Voted out Week 10
  • Bobby - Voted out Week 7
  • Brittnee - Voted out Week 10
  • Bruno - Voted out Week 8
  • Godfrey - Runner Up in Big Brother Canada Season 3 to Sarah
  • Graig - Voted out Week 3
  • Johnny - Voted out Week 4
  • Jordan - Voted out Week 5
  • Kevin - Voted out Week 7
  • Naeha - Voted out Week 3
  • Pilar - Voted out Week 9
  • Risha - Voted out Week 1
  • Sarah - Winner of Big Brother Canada Season 3 (7-2)
  • Sindy - Voted out Week 2, Re-entered Week 5, Voted out Week 6
  • Willow - Voted out Week 7
  • Zach - Voted out Week 9

In previous seasons, it's been possible to watch the streams and episodes outside of Canada through various means like by VPN. The OP will be updated once we get some confirmations on how this year will run.

The first two season of the show were decent, something to tide one over until BB US started back up. The house the players live in is nice, but it has more of a "budget" BB US feel than the American version, as the competitions seem more low key and simple due to house not having a big "outdoor" space to play in. Most of the inner house game play remains solid though.

All the cast bios are out. The cast seems pretty good but I wish they had more people from the coasts, the Nova Scotia and Newfie accents are my favorite part of BBCan.

Butt first, let's
check the feeds.

I'm definitely going to check this out, despite being American so I'll have to jump through some hoops for it. But I've enjoyed BB Canada much more the last two years than BB America and I think last season and its final few were some of my favorite ever. So here's to BB Canada keeping up the momentum.

And hopefully OnlineBigBrother.com puts up the youtube videos of all relevant feed clips again so I can follow that without actually wasting my life.

Same house again this season, they changed the "look" again as usual. This years house theme is steampunk apparently.

Last season was pretty drat good and mostly made up for the poo poo show that was Season 1, mostly the finale.

Looking at the house tour, it looks like once again the sheer amount of effort that has gone into redesigning the house has blown away anything that BBUS could ever hope to do. I have no idea who the crew is that they have working on it or how much money they put into it, but drat if they don't do an impressive job.

I honestly prefer the smaller scale, "budget" challenges of BBCAN

Looking forward to another season, Maritimes Represent!

S1+2: ... and here's to a hat trick, even if the first one was garbage!

Yeah the house looks great. It must be lovely to not be able to actually go outdoors though. I liked season 1 but I think they went a bit overboard on the twists.

If my previous sources light-up as they have before I'll clue you in via PM. I'm gonna try to watch a complete run of BB CAN this time around. The first season was pretty good but then I fell out because of 'reasons'. I completely spaced last year because BB CAN starts at a weird time of the year.

Do they still have the talking moose giving out secret missions or has it matured into a talking toque or a loonie?

Casting did a great job. Although the videos seem to be shot in some cheap hotel in downtown Winnipeg LOL. :canada:

Hope that the Hempster chick (Sarah) and Ricia the Cougar stay for a while although I have my doubts about their longevity in the house.

Is this going to be on tv 3 times per week? I can't watch that often and will probably use this thread to keep up with what's going on - so keep the news flashes and updates coming guys.

Correct, should be 3 times a week.

Interesting HOH perk:

Essentially each HOH gets to watch one movie or episode of a TV show from a Canadian Netflix-type service.

Rumors seem to say that Canada will get the first HOH eviction vote. So it looks like they're getting only one episode to make an impression before getting voted out on Wednesday.

I mean, a VPN worked fine last year even if it meant watching episodes a day later on the website. Which is fine but inconvenient with a show like this where being caught up is a daily thing.

And like I said, hopefully OBB can still post the YouTube clips making feed watching much easier.

But even if none of that holds true I'm sure there will still be the less scrupulous ways to watch. It just probably would mean me feeling less engaged with the day to day of it.

So the show starts tonight?

Random musings:

They should have started out with the house empty, no food and a case of beer on the floor - a very common experience for Canadians moving into a new place.

Before this episode I only knew of 2 Toronto escorts over 6' tall LOL.

Such an interesting social experiment, seeing who got votes for eviction - and having viewers vote on the first elimination based on so little information. And BBC has really embraced social media

You know, when half the Houseguests last year knew each other or had a mutual friend I started to think there's like 500 people in Canada and you're all two degrees removed from each other at most. Youre not helping that baseless theory for me.

Peter 2 (Jordan) is going to be super annoying, just like Peter 1.

Risha seems like she'd just cause a hostile environment for the women and they'd all target each other which would lead to the guys dominating. So BB16, in a sense. It's probably too early to declare that but that's definitely not the best route to go.

Why couldn't it have been Cindy with an "I DGAF if it's with an 'S'"?

I like the tall Toronto hooker with the milkbags over the Mexi transplant with the annoying laugh.

Also, it looks like the guys could go Beast Mode through the house while the ladies turn on each other for stupid catty reason.

Also, the house looks really really cool.

Even though female alliances often fall apart you'd think the women would look around and think, "First, we need to work together and get rid of the strongest physical competitors". But there's always a few who instead go the route of, "Hey that guy is hot, going to try to hook up form a voting pair right away".

And while it wouldn't work for a home, agree that the steampunk decor looks good.
