Season 8

Big Brother Canada 9 is the ninth season of the Canadian reality television series Big Brother Canada. It is based on the Dutch series of the same name, which gained notoriety in 1999 and 2000. Arisa Cox returned as the host for the series as well as her new role as executive producer.[1] The season premiered with a two-night premiere on March 3–4, 2021, on Global.[2]

This season revolved around 14 strangers (known as HouseGuests) living in a house together while being constantly filmed and having no communication with the outside world as they competed to be the last HouseGuest remaining. Each week, the HouseGuests competed in challenges for power and safety before voting each other out of the house. When only two HouseGuests remain, a Jury of previously evicted Houseguests decided which finalist won the grand prize of a $110,000 cash prize (base prize of $100,000 with an additional $10,000 provided by sponsor Sunlight), $10,000 worth of grills and grilling accessories from Weber, and a vacation for two from Expedia. The runner-up wins $20,000. A new prize for "Canada's Favourite Houseguest" was also introduced this season, where the Canadian public voted for the recipient of a $10,000 prize.

After 69 days, the season ended on May 6, 2021, when Tychon Carter-Newman beat Breydon White in a 6-1 vote. Carter-Newman is the first Black HouseGuest to win a season of Big Brother Canada, and the second (after Celebrity Big Brother 2 winner Tamar Braxton) to win a season of Big Brother in North America.

Twists[]

For the first time in Big Brother Canada, the HouseGuests will compete in two teams (known as Team Destiny & Team Defender). The teams were selected by Team Captains determined by Canada's Vote, which opened as the cast was revealed. The Captains are also awarded immunity for the first week.[3] For the duration of the teams phase the Head of Household would win immunity for their entire team. The draft for the teams was as follows:[4]

Round Team Defender Team Destiny
Captain Kiefer Tina
1 Jedson Tychon
2 Latoya Tera
3 Josh Kyle
4 Julie Beth
5 Rohan Victoria
6 Breydon Austin

Production[]

Development[]

Following the cancellation of the eighth season due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the future of the show was uncertain, however on July 13, 2020, Big Brother Canada was renewed for a ninth season. It was also announced that Arisa Cox would return as host and would assume the role of executive producer for the new season.[8] On February 17, 2021, Global announced that the season will start airing with a two-night premiere on March 3–4, 2021.[2]

Casting[]

Kassting Inc. returned to cast the ninth season. On August 10, 2020, casting opened online.[9]

Filming[]

Filming started on February 27, 2021, without a live audience for the premiere episode for the first time in Big Brother Canada history due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic.

Release[]

The free 24/7 live feeds, hosted on Big Brother Canada's website, started on March 4 after the first eviction episode. A tribute to Big Brother Canada 4 HouseGuest Nikki Grahame aired on the 18th episode following her passing.[10]

House design[]

On February 22, 2021, Global released an image of the living room wall. The theme for the season was confirmed to be post-apocalyptic.[11] The full house design was revealed on March 1,[12] with most of the house being similar to the season 8 superhero themed house, but with decorative fake vines and overgrowth covering large portions of the house. The bathroom, the HoH bedroom the outdoor spa area, and the Expedia-themed lounge room remained the same as last season. Of the few rooms to be completely redesigned was the main bedrooms, which were redecorated to correspond the theme of each team. The swamp themed Have-Not room was replaced by a ball-pit. Additionally, there was no nomination room, with the space normally taken by the nomination room being used as a OLG themed games room.

Fourteen new HouseGuests moved into the Big Brother Canada house for up to three months and a chance to win the grand prize of $100,000 in addition to prizes from sponsors valued at $20,000.[3] The public voted for the two HouseGuests they wanted to become team captains before the start of the season. Kiefer and Tina were revealed to be the winners and the captains for Team Defender and Team Destiny respectively. After entering the house, the pair entered the OLG Lounge to observe the remaining twelve HouseGuests in secret monitor with no sound. After all the HouseGuests entered Kiefer and Tina were tasked to pick their teams based on first impressions. Arisa revealed to the group that there would be no Head of Household or Power of Veto competitions for the week instead the teams would compete for safety.

  • Safety Competition ("Drop in the Bucket"): This competition was played in teams. As Team Captains, Kiefer and Tina did not participate since they were already safe from eviction. HouseGuests must hold a bucket of toxic sludge. If their bucket drops, they will be eliminated. The starting weight of each bucket was filled based on the physical proportions of the HouseGuests to make the competition as fair as possible. In addition, the Captains may add sludge to the opposing team's buckets at selected times. The last team standing will be safe, and the members of the other team will be nominated for eviction. Victoria won for Team Destiny.[4]

As a result of Victoria winning the safety competition for Team Destiny, her team received a feast for the night. Meanwhile, Team Defenders, as the losing team, received slop. Breydon, Jedson, Josh, Julie, Latoya and Rohan from Team Defenders all faced eviction. All HouseGuests, except for Tina, voted to evict one of the two nominees on eviction night. Tina, as the Captain of the winning team, would only vote in the event of a tie. Prior to the eviction vote, the members of Team Destiny anonymously submitted questions for the nominees of Team Defender. Julie was evicted after receiving eleven eviction votes. Josh received two eviction votes, while the other four nominees received zero eviction votes.[14]

Notes[]

  • ^Note 1 :   When the cast was revealed, voting opened for Canada to vote for two Team Captains. Kiefer and Tina were voted captains and chose their teams. The captains were also given immunity from the first eviction.
  • ^Note 2 :   On Night 1, the HouseGuests competed in a team competition. The winning team won immunity from the first eviction, while the members of the losing team (excluding their captain) were all nominated for the first eviction. Since there were six nominees, all nominees voted. As the winning captain, Tina would only vote in the event of a tie.
  • ^Note 3 :   This week, the Head of Household was invisible. The winner of the HoH competition would not be announced to the HouseGuests, and their nominations would be made in secret. Additionally, to disguise the Invisible HoH, they were eligible to compete for the Power of Veto, and could compete the following week to be HoH; however, they were also eligible to be a Have-Not, and did not have access to the HoH Suite.
  • ^Note 4 : This week was a double eviction week. Following the first eviction, the remaining HouseGuests played a week's worth of games, including HoH and Veto competitions and Nomination, Veto and Eviction ceremonies, during the remainder of the live show, culminating in a second eviction for the night.
  • ^Note 5 : This week was a fake double eviction night. Following the first eviction, the remaining HouseGuests played a week's worth of games, including HoH and PoV competitions, and Nomination, Veto, and Eviction ceremonies, during the remainder of the live show, culminating in two HouseGuests being voted out. HouseGuests who were voted out (Jedson & Tera) were secretly moved to the HoH suite until the end of the night when the pair competed in a competition to determine which of the two would be evicted. Tera won the competition, evicting Jedson.
  • ^Note 6 : During the finale, the Jury voted for which finalist should win Big Brother Canada 9.

Controversies[]

Ethan Quance[]

Big Brother Canada Twitter
@BigBrotherCA

Today, Global TV and Insight Productions were made aware of some significant concerns regarding an individual who has been announced as part of the Season 9 cast for Big Brother Canada.

25 Feb 2021[24]

On February 24, 2021, Global announced 22-year-old Ethan Quance, a line cook from Banff, Alberta as one of the fourteen HouseGuests competing in the ninth season. However the following day, several allegations were made against him including sexual assault and the use of racist and homophobic language. As a result, Global made the decision to remove Quance from the cast and announced that he would be replaced prior to the premiere. He was replaced with Kyle Moore.

While much of what has been brought to our attention remains unproven, we cannot proceed with casting this person and this individual will be replaced ahead of the season premiere.
