Oh boy, here we go! It’s Big Brother Canada time as the premiere night hits and we’re ready to enjoy the 15 new Houseguests as they compete for $100,000 over 75 days under our constant surveillance. “Big Brother is watching!”
Host Arisa Cox arrives and excites the audience by reminding them that after fourteen seasons of following the fun to their south it’s their turn to host their own Big Brother.
Before we get to meet the HGs we get a quick tour of the house. Oh cool, they’ve got a “Have-Not” room styled like a seedy hotel while the HoH gets their own fancy room.
Ahh, here are the HGs. Sure enough they get cheesy “oh, I found this key and am so surprised!” segments for each of them. Lots of fun personalities. Can’t wait to see how they meld and how we begin to love or hate them. What’s cool here is that we get a lot of “I’m a huge Big Brother fan!” HGs so that should be awesome.
Deviating from the US version the HGs meet each other for the first time in front of a live studio audience. This is nice. I wish we could get that for the US version, but I guess leaks like this are why they don’t do that! The HGs go inside the house in groups of five at a time before all fifteen are there.
Ahh yes, we get our first drop of the phrase “Expect the Unexpected” and it comes in the reveal of the first surprise of the season. There’s a red phone in the house and Arisa reveals that when it rings Big Brother will be on the other side with a mission for who ever answers it. If the HG completes the secret mission then they’ll be rewarded but if they fail the HG can expect a big punishment.
Arisa announces to us, not the HGs, that we’re about to get the first twist. The phone begins to ring and Suzette answers. She’s instructed to go straight to the Diary Room, tell no one, and bring no one with her. The line goes silent and her mission is on. Suzette immediately tells everyone there was no one on the line (a lie) but after a few mins heads to the DR.
In the DR, Big Brother reveals to Suzette that she is the first HoH since she answered the phone. She has one hour to decide who to nominate but can tell no one. If she fails then she’ll face the wraith of BB! Lots of questions await her return, but for now she needs to focus on who she’ll nominate for eviction.
Meanwhile, Arisa gathers everyone in the living room. Oh snap, Arisa spills the beans on Suzette’s secret mission. She’s been out’d as the first HoH and has been plotting nominations. Now it’s time for those nominations.
Suzette nominates Emmett and Tom for eviction!
Arisa informs the viewers that yes, there is a Power of Veto up for grabs and we’re about to find out more about that. Maybe Emmett and Tom will both end up safe from Thursday night’s eviction.
Time for the Veto competition. Only six HGs will compete. The two nominees, the HoH, and three selected HGs using the bag of ping pong balls. They have to pop balloons to find puzzle pieces but can only use their thrusting hips and no hands or they’ll be disqualified.
Tom manages to finish his PoV puzzle first and wins the Veto. Looks like he’ll be safe this week! Now Suzette will have to name a replacement nomination while Tom promises us it’ll get really ugly in there now that he’ll be safe from eviction this time around.
Now that the Big Brother Canada premiere is over the Live Feeds are set to turn on so get ready for even more online or on Slice for After Dark at 2-5AM.
