The Big Brother Canada 5 spaceship is about to launch with tonight’s season premiere and we’re excited to watch all the fireworks as it takes off on Global at 9/8c.
Houseguests have moved in already and now it’s our chance to see what’s been going on in there since the weekend. Who won the first HoH of BBCAN5? Which Houseguests are already in danger and being made a target? Lets get to it and find out what’s going on inside the game.
If you’re looking for how to watch Big Brother Canada online and from the US then we’ve detailed out those steps over here, but we’ll be updating those as we know more because we’re still waiting to see what works and what doesn’t this season. Episodes and Feeds should all be available for free in one way or another if you try hard enough.
First up we’re getting a tour of the all-new house design with host Arisa Cox before we shift over to the newbies getting their back home introductions. Once they’re out on stage and sent in the more familiar faces should show up for their send off through the front door.
Launch BBCAN5 House Gallery Slideshow…
The Vets start rolling in the front door and the newbies are shocked and clearly a little confused. Some of them don’t even know who these big BBCAN names are which is funny (and worrisome for their chances).
And for keeping track later, Dillon was the first Houseguest through the door. Another chance to see if the first-in curse remains strong.
Launch BBCAN5 Cast Gallery Slideshow…
With everyone together Arisa calls them in to the main room and warns them of coming “shockwaves” which sounds like a possible catchphrase for upcoming twists through the season. She also lets them know about the 3 major prizes for the winner: $100K, $30K gift card to The Brick, and a 2017 Toyota ’86.
Our first HoH competition will feature the newbies paired with a veteran and they’ll be hanging on over an edge with a cable slowly tilting them farther and farther out. Eventually arms will get tired and they’ll drop one by one. Last couple standing is safe for the week and will have to decide who gets to be HoH.
Pairs: Ika & Dre, Neda & William, Kevin & Demetres, Karen & Sindy, Dallas & Mark, Bruno & Dillon, Emily & Gary, Jackie & Cassandra
Karen & Sindy win first comp
Karen is named first HoH
Arisa reveals the first “shockwave” (twist) for the season. Viewers can vote to make one HG safe until Jury. Voting will open up shortly and last only 24 hours. Yikes, that’s a bit over the top for a twist, but okay I guess we’re used to that with BBCAN twists.
Who do you want to get the Time Warp twist? Vote now in our poll & get the link to official voting before it ends tomorrow!
Whatever happens tonight we’ll be ready for the rest of the season to pick right up with the Big Brother Canada 5 schedule bringing us another episode on Thursday night (8/7c) then Monday’s episode (9/8c). It’ll be a busy pace in no time here. Then for the Feeds those could start tonight but maybe not until Thursday. We’re waiting to see what happens there.

Allright I’m here.
Me too, Got across the border.
Here we go!
Wow, that’s over the top, to say the least.
Julie Chen is going to be telling CBS to step it up
“But first, we need more rocketships!”
I love the scifi theme, my fav movie genre.
Me too.
Matt, you’re busy these days
He loves it.
I’m glad to have things to write about again! First time in 10 years that I haven’t had Idol going on this time of year. (Idol was older than that, but I didn’t start blogging it until 2007.) It’s been strange.
OMG you did Idol too?
You need to make a site for TAR instead. Come on man.
does that means she works at Dominos?
I like Jackie already.
William sound like Pepe le Pew.
He’ll be interesting.
He’s already dropping a bunch of french thing.
ah oui, un peu trop
And he has the Montreal girl to talk to.
I think it’s funny how a french accent sounds phony even when it’s not. I always think of Peter Sellers in Pink Panther
Sellers was more a european french though.
I think its because he’s English. Doing a French accent authentically isn’t that easy.
But Sellers did actually speak french for real.
Notes I read somewhere said one of them would be very strong about French Canadian being superior to English Canadian.
That’s him, that’s exactly what he said in his intro.
Well he is French.
I know. Trois-Rivières.
Well my beloved Roku channel is acting up tonight. If yours is too then check out a few of the links for streams:
http://canada.bigbrothernetwork.com/where-to-watch-big-brother-canada-from-the-us/
The videobrother is working fine.
Yep, that’s where I settled.
Hey y’all. Vets coming up… who r y’all most excited for?
Nedz
Hey Matt will you be able to show Live Feeds of what’s going on in the house?
Live Feeds should be up and running either tonight or tomorrow and those are free. BBViewer should be working again this season.
LF starts tomorrow
Can you show highlights like you do in the US?
We won’t be doing daily highlights reports for BBCAN. But we’ll be doing updates and results on big events.
Okay. Because I can’t watch the show from where I am so I would like to understand gameplay from everyone.
If I sound too needy Matt, my apologies.
Try VPN
No problem. We just can’t justify/afford the support to cover things as in-depth for BBCAN as there’s less of a market/audience vs BBUS.
Understood. Thanks Matt.
If you’re at ease with torrent, you can download each episode the next morning.
Hah! Love it. You know you’re watching Canadian TV when there are casual commercials about ice skating for exercise. 🙂
Um… do ppl in the US not have places where it snows?
Ice skating just isn’t as widely popular down here.
There you go Matt, ice skating and hockey in the same evening. Welcome to Canada!
So far so good!
Oh thank goodness, Dallas is back! … Huh what?
Is that for real or sarcasm?
Sarcasm. Dallas is the “one of these things is not like the others.”
Yeah he sticks out like a sore thumb.
When Ika entered, half of the newbies have no idea who she is…
#recruitproblems
Love the faces as the vets enter
Haha same
Ika looks VERY unimpressed
Well she didn’t last too long.
Ehh Dallas was a bit Irrelevant in his season but who knows this season
I think Dallas will last a lot longer this season solely based on the fact he’s not a newbie…
I second that
He’s definitely got the room for improvement this time around.
Haha “Yea we’re screwed!”
Not funny… that means Neda has a HUGE BRIGHT target on her back
I know I just thought that statement made at the moment was hilarious not the fact that Neda will be a huge target 🙁
Thoughts on vets:
Neda- You’re talking to a fanboy right here. Love the girl
Bruno- Pretty swell guy. Let’s hope he can lay lower compared to last time.
Dallas- He’s meh. He’s good at challenges but that’s it. I personally prefer Ramsay.
Ika- I wonder if she’s gonna fight another alpha male like she did with Andrew and Kenny.
Kevin- Like him but he’s probably gonna have the Frank Eudy role- obvious comp threat is obvious.
Cassandra- She was an amazing mastermind in her first season. Can’t wait to see what she’s made of this time. Neda vs Cassandra anyone? Hint hint.
Gary- I don’t mind him so much, though the first time I thought he was obnoxious. Hopefully he can play with strategy and not just for the “little people”.
Sindy (with an S)- Not memorable in my opinion. Hope she changes my mind.
I think Kevin’s target is not as big as Neda’s…
True Neda is Dr Will
Kevin is more of Frank with social skills.
God, I hate Gary.
Haha, yeah he’s here to irritate and entertain along the split.
Too much, for sure
Gary “worked really hard” to get to the end… weeks in Jury can be tough and demanding.
That’s exactly what I thought.
Love how Cassandra says she’ll play the exact same game again. I’m glad to have her back.
Oh, is Cass your winner’s pick, Matt? Cuz she’s mine…
Haha, well I’m not sure if I’d pick her just yet as a likely winner, but I’d definitely be happy for her to pull it off.
I still like Kevin. He was victim of twist also.
I like Kevin but I think he has a bigger target on his back compared to Cass
I have access to live feeds now. But how are you watching the episode?
There are a lot of sites that allow access to live stream of Global
Can I watch it from BBViewer?
Not sure, the site I use is called BMX TV. If you are in Canada use the non vpn feed. If not, use the vpn feed
Okay, thanks so much. I’ll try that.
Go back to Matthew post about it, there 3 stream link to use. Videobrother work fine.
No Gary you didn’t win! The BB Gods undoed a BIG mistake by giving Jillian that win
More like Topaz messed up the vote.
Seriously while I think Gary should’ve won fair and square, it wasn’t fate that screwed him over, it was Topaz for not paying attention.
Yea, but Jilian was the deserving winner. Gary got back in at final 4, not fair.
Can’t wait to see Cassandra in there!
I think Ika is not happy to see Sindy (with an S).
Is anyone?
Seems like Ika is not happy to see anybody else.
Gotta feel bad for the newbies. They went from being all excited about their new home to suddenly being the small side show to the night.
Neda didn’t even know Bruno.
Glad to see Bruno… he was robbed by Coup de Britnee
That’s well said.
WTH, no Global! Gary doesn’t deserve that “GRAND ENTRY”
I agree. He’s just a drama queen.
Hi! Is Gary popular?
He’s well known for sure either way since he was on season 1 and then worked on its Side Show for a few seasons.
Oh…gotcha.
He has his followers.
I thought so.
Don’t like him already
You’re here!
Yeah! I fell asleep RIGHT before Survivor. Caleb’ s light was put out? 🙁
yeah, not that tribe’s best move
Damn!! Stupid, Stupid, stupid. Is this a 2 hr special?
Nope, just one tonight
Thanks!
But there’s another show tomorrow.
Oh cool. Hi, By the way!
Hi, I will send you the info you need tomorrow morning.
Thanks! I finally got put on the schedule—April 18th!
Still another month. At least you know now.
yeah. I feel like I’ve been waiting for a year. Oh wait…I have.
Someone commented elsewhere about Gary going from being an employee of the show to being a contestant on it and whether or not there’s a conflict there. It’s an interesting point even with what I’m sure is a lot of professionalism on production to remain unbiased.
Maybe why they fired him last year. He only did 2 seasons of the after show.
Good point. Needed some time off in between. That could explain that departure.
Yea, make sense now.
Fun fact: when Arisa announced that the car was part of the prize. No one was impressed and production had to reshoot and ask for a reaction
Oops! Hah. Well the car is awesome and gorgeous. That’s a huge bonus prize.
I’d take it!
Neda really didn’t want to let go.
Sindy knew better than to be the 1st HoH.
I’m glad a newbie got it. Those BB18 dummies handing it over to the Vet that first comp.
Um… Karen seems pretty much pro vets… so um… I think it’s basically the same thing
Yeah, good for Karen Often the older woman gets booted first.
I’m voting for Kevin.
I think Kevin has it in him to remain until jury w/o our help
Better to be safe than sorry
With these damn twist they do in Canada, I’m not taking any chance.
The twist? WTF? In Canada here, guys who should i vote?
That was fun…too bad I missed being introduced to all the guests…lol. See you next week at Survivor and here. Take care and have a good one!
Good night
Fun premiere! Should be a good season. Thanks all for joining us tonight. Next episode is Thurs at 8/7c then again Monday at 9/8c. We’ll be chatting live each show if you want to join us!
Cya and thank u Matt
Thanks, Matt!
Where were you when Survivor was on?
I fell asleep around 7ish…woke up about 9:30. Was PISSED! I was so upset that I missed Survivor!
Yeah, we missed you over on survivor fandom. Don’t take a nap before the show is to be on! 🙂
and just in case,record the show
Yes, take this advice. :):):)
I learned the hard way when I forgot BB one night
Thanks Jasmine! Missed you guys too. 🙂 I can NOT believe I slept through the show. Ugh!
Thanks Matt
It’s done?..ha!
Here you are !
I totally forgot. Got to get with the program…next time Capt.
Cassandra has my vote
Yeah, I think I’ll vote for her. Tough choice since I don’t really like the twist (too powerful), but since someone has to get it… Hmm.
Hey everyone! Spunky Nugget is baaaacckk! Lol so I have an.. interesting.. observation I’d just like to throw out there. Assuming the current gossip is correct (not to mention the intro), then this season will only last SIXTY FIVE DAYS (What is this BBOTT?! ?). With 16 hgs, could we possibly see the return of the TRIPLE eviction? DUN DUN DUUUNN! ?
BTW, I’VE MISSED YOU GUYS. It’s great to be back scrolling through these comments! ?❤
More than likely no triple, and at least one exit and come back for sure.
Maybe it’s just me but I find it irritating when contestants have obviously never seen the show before. Last year someone told Jared he looked like Emmett and his response was “Who’s Emmett?”.
