Big Brother Canada 11 is the eleventh season of the Canadian reality television series Big Brother Canada. The series premiered on March 8, 2023, on Global. Hosted by Arisa Cox, the show revolves around sixteen contestants (known as HouseGuests), who volunteered to reside in a house under constant surveillance and without any communication with the outside world as they compete to win a grand prize of C$100,000 cash.[1][2]

Format

Further information: Big Brother Canada § Format

Big Brother Canada follows a group of contestants, known as HouseGuests who move into a custom-built house outfitted with cameras and microphones, recording their every move 24 hours a day.[3] The HouseGuests are sequestered in the Big Brother Canada House with no contact with the outside world.[4] During their stay, the HouseGuests share their thoughts on events and other HouseGuests inside a private room referred to as the Diary Room.[5][6] At the start of each week in the house, the HouseGuests compete for the title of Head of Household, often shortened to simply HoH.[7] The winner of the HoH competition is immune from eviction and will name two HouseGuests to be nominated for eviction.[8] After the nominees are determined, the Power of Veto competition is played. Five players will compete in the competition: the two nominees and three random players, with the winner receiving the Power of Veto. If a HouseGuest chooses to exercise the Power of Veto, the Head of Household is obligated to name a replacement nominee.[9] The holder of the Power of Veto is safe from being nominated as the replacement nominee.[10] On eviction night, all HouseGuests must vote to evict one of the nominees, with the exception of the nominees and the Head of Household. The eviction vote is by secret ballot, with HouseGuests casting their votes orally in the Diary Room. In the event of a tied vote, the Head of Household will cast a tie-breaking vote publicly. The nominee with the majority of the votes is evicted from the house. Midway through the season, the evicted HouseGuests go on to become members of the "jury"; the jury is responsible for choosing who wins the series. The final Head of Household competition is split into three parts; the winners of the first two rounds compete in the third and final round. Once only two HouseGuests remain, the members of the jury cast their votes for who should win the series.[11][12]

Summary

Week 1 & 2
On Day 1, 16 HouseGuests entered the murder-mystery-themed Big Brother Canada Manor. Arisa revealed that there will be no eviction in the first week, though she revealed the first big twist of the season, known as "Dead Last", in which the HouseGuest to place last in the Head of Household competition will be automatically nominated as a third nominee.
  • HoH Competition Part 1 ("Rough Around the Hedges"): One HouseGuest from each pair must untie knots to release a series of puzzle pieces. They must then weave a key through the vines up to their teammate, who will unlock the hatch and untie their own pieces. Each pair must then work together to solve the puzzle. The first pair to complete the puzzle will win the competition and will compete against one another for Head of Household. The last-place pair will also compete against each other to determine Dead Last. John Michael and Santina were the winners, while Renee and Shanaya came in last.
  • HoH Competition Part 2: The HouseGuests in each pair then raced to a puzzle of season 10 winner Kevin Jacobs' head. They must then maneuver their hedges so they can roll a ball down a chute into his crown. The first HouseGuest to land the ball (between John Michael and Santina) will be the first Head of Household; the last HouseGuest to land the ball (between Renee and Shanaya) would become Dead Last. Renee became Dead Last, while Santina became the first Head of Household.

On Day 4, Amal walked from the game for personal reasons. John Michael told Zach that he wanted to target the strong men if he won HOH. Zach, in turn, rallied the other guys together to convince Santina to go after John Michael. The HouseGuests also learned they can earn Wendy's Reward Points that could help their game in the future. On Day 6, Claudia was voted by the public to receive the "BelAir Direct Eviction Protection Insurance", granting them immunity for the week. On Day 7, Santina nominated Anika and Dan alongside Renee for eviction, an intent to backdoor John Michael.

On Day 8, the nominees, alongside Daniel and Ty, competed in the Power of Veto competition.

  • PoV Competition ("Can't Slop, Won't Slop") HouseGuests must fill their cups with the secret sauce, slide down their lane, and pour it into their jugs. After their jugs are full, they must mix it with oatmeal to make slop. HouseGuests have to then launch the slop into their barrel to lift it. The first HouseGuest to raise their barrel will win the Power of Veto, while the losers will go on slop until after the Veto Meeting. Ty won the competition, while Anika, Dan, Daniel, and Renee went on slop.

On Day 10, Ty took Anika off the block, and Santina nominated John Michael as the replacement nominee. After the veto meeting, John Micheal rallied hard trying to get numbers to stay. On Day 13, John Michael was evicted by a unanimous vote of 11–0–0. It was then announced that the "Dead Last" twist was over.

Week 3
Following John Michael's eviction, the HouseGuests competed in the Head of Household Competition.
  • HoH Competition ("Basket Slide"): The houseguests grabbed a ball from the bottom, ran to the top, and slid down while shooting their ball into point-valued baskets. Dan racked up the most points and was crowned the Head of Household.

On Day 15, Dan nominated Renee and Hope for eviction, with the intention of backdooring Roberto.

On Day 16, the nominees, alongside Kuzie, Vanessa and Zach competed in the Power of Veto competition

  • PoV Competition ("Philips Sonicare")The houseguest first needs to complete a toothbrush puzzle and then balance it upward. The person who finished it first will be ranked higher in the second part of the competition. Then they would go head to head where they need to take the bristles and place them in the corresponding hole. There is a 2-minute time limit and whichever houseguest has more bristles in the hole would move on and eliminate the other houseguest. The winner of the final round would win the Power of Veto. Zach won the final round and earned the Power of Veto along with a $5000 dollar cash prize from Philips Sonicare.

Rallying for Roberto to be evicted, Zach used the Power of Veto on Hope; Dan nominated Roberto as the replacement. Vanessa and Zach were then involved in a screaming match, about how the latter was trying to play all sides. On Day 20, after much debate, Roberto was evicted by a vote of 7–4 with Vanessa, Hope, Santina, and Jonathan voting to evict Renee.

Week 4
Following Roberto's eviction, the HouseGuests competed in the Head of Household Competition.
  • HoH Competition ("Croquet All Day"): The houseguest first need to balance tiles on a narrow platform to make a path for the croquet ball. Then they would make the shot and try to aim for the end post. Kuzie was the first one to get the ball to the end zone and was crowned the Head of Household.

On Day 22, Kuzie nominated Santina and Vanessa for eviction, with the intention of evicting Santina. Vanessa, however, subsequently walked from the game on the same day, forcing Kuzie to name a new nominee; she nominated Hope as the replacement nominee.

On Day 24, the nominees, along with Anika, Ty and Zach competed in the Power of Veto competition

  • PoV Competition ("Every Drop Counts"): The houseguest first needed to toss carbon balls into the Brita Filter, then water will spray out one of three taps and they must move and catch the water to fill it into a jug. Then they would transfer the jug to a glass to fill up and retrieve a ball. Hope was the first one to fill with enough water and retrieve the ball, thus giving him the Power of Veto and a $5000 cash prize from Brita.

Hope used the Veto on himself and Kuzie named Zach as the replacement nominee. Zach then noticed an unauthorized item from Hope and informed production about it. Hope was confronted about the letter, which later sparked an argument in the house. After the talk with a producer, they announced that Hope would lose a vote in the upcoming eviction and would be ineligible for the next Head of Household competition. Everyone then received a letter from home to make up for the incident. However, this upsets Ty and Zach who wanted him ejected for bringing an unauthorized item into the house.

On Day 26, Ty and Zach both contemplated walking from the game. Ultimately, Ty decided to stay in the house while Zach walked from the game. As Zach was a nominee, this week's eviction was cancelled.

Week 5
Following Zach's departure from the Manor, the HouseGuest competed in whodunit week where both Head of Household and Power of Veto competitions are invisible.
  • Invisible HoH Competition ("The Inheritance"): One at a time, the houseguest would see a pile of $50,000. Then they would bid on how much money would they like to bid. If the highest bid was less than $50,000, then the leftover money would be added to the prize money. The highest bidder will become the invisible Head of Household. In an event of a tie, they would answer a question in which what was the average bid. Santina became the new Head of Household.

On Day 28, Santina anonymously nominated Dan and Ty.

On Day 30, the nominees, along with Claudia, Daniel and Hope competed in the Power of Veto competition

  • Invisible PoV Competition ("Power Heist"): The Houseguest would first need to disable the laser from the vault and poles, then they would need to collect as much gold or currency to get to the target weight of 500lb. There were also 3 keys that would unlock 3 different weight references. There was a 30-minute time limit and once a houseguest was comfortable with the amount, they would lock in the scores. Daniel was the closest to 500lb at 490 lb, winning him the Power of Veto.

Daniel anonymously used the Veto to take Ty off the block and Invisible HOH Santina put up Claudia as the replacement nominee.

On Day 34, just before the vote, the public viewers voted for their favourite moment of the season so far. Kuzie's Week 3 HOH win was voted as their favourite and won a $1000 WINNERS Gift Card. In a unanimous vote of 8-0, Dan was evicted and became the first member of the jury.

Twists

Dead Last Nomination

In Week 2, the HouseGuest who placed last in the Head of Household competition was automatically nominated as the Dead Last Nominee.

Belairdirect Eviction Protection Insurance

Occasionally throughout the season, the public would vote for one HouseGuest to earn the Belairdirect Eviction Protection Insurance. The HouseGuest who receives the most votes would be immune from that week's eviction. The voter may public may vote for multiple HouseGuests with no vote limits being imposed. Once that HouseGuest earns immunity, they would not be eligible again to receive this immunity for the rest of the season. This immunity was sponsored by BelAirDirect.

  • On Day 1, it was announced that the viewers would be voting to decide which HouseGuest would receive immunity from nominations for Week 2. On Day 6, Claudia received the most votes and was awarded the immunity.
  • On Day 20, it was announced that the viewers would be voting to decide which HouseGuest would receive immunity from nominations for Week 4. Jonathan received the most votes and received the immunity.

Wendy's Rewards points

In the seasons run, the HouseGuests will be able to earn Wendy's Rewards points through various means, including becoming a Head of Household; winning the Power of Veto; being selected by the HoH for breakfast, surviving an eviction as a nominee; or completing a week of the game, among others. When a HouseGuest is evicted, they must bequeath their remaining points to a HouseGuest still in the game. The points can later be exchanged for an advantages that will appear later in the season's run.
