A new mint fresh and hopefully soon to be Covid free year of Big Brother is upon us, the international version that is, taking in Canada, Australia and USA along the way
We start this long year with Big Brother Canada, some say the best Big Brother of the lot right now. In case you missed it last year, the show was pulled about a quarter of the way in due to the Covid pandemic. A very sad end I may add, and I do hope some of the series 8 people can at least have a guest slot in the house this year, or in the future if the show is still on the air
Back to the present, and we have a fresh brand new cast to cast our eyes on, and already there has been one removal before starters orders, as Ethan got pulled due to some, shall we say, allegations.
Updated cast:
Austin, 23 - Ontario
Beth, 27 - Alberta
Breydon, 23 - Alberta
Kyle, 26 - Alberta
Jedson, 25 - Ontario
Josh, 30 - British Colombia
Julie, 28 - British Colombia
Kiefer, 32 - British Colombia
Latoya, 34 - Ontario
Rohan, 26 - Ontario
Tera, 37 - Ontario
Tina, 42 - Paradise, NL
Tychon, 29 - Montreal, Quebec
Victoria, 27 - Hamilton, Ontario

But it wouldn't be Big Brother would it, without some opening night twist and this series is no different
Opening twist:
Viewers have been voting to which two houseguests will be team captains, and the houseguests will be split into teams, but the captains will pick the opposing team members. The two captains will also be immune from the first eviction. Teams will be called "Destiny" and "Defender
More to be revealed as tonight's show goes on
And now it's down to business starting with Canada, so very exciting when you hear those various Big Brother themes, and hopefully in the future the UK version's will be heard once again
Kicking off with a recap of the abrupt ending of the showllast year, as in Covid, and then a house tour including the Have Not's room which is basically a ball pit
Kiefer and Tina confirmed as the two captains
Arisa points out the houseguests have been isolated for 2 weeks, and like the USA All Stars series will have to wear masks outside of the house bubble
Beth, Julie, Tychon and Kyle are the first four in.... And cue all the usual hello's and niceties until the treachery, backstabbing and everything else begins
Latoya, Jedson, Austin and Josh next in, followed by the last lot of Breydon, Victoria, Tera and Rohan
Time for Kiefer and Tina to pick their teams, let the games begin....
Team Destiny (Tina) - Tychon, Tera, Kyle, Beth, Victoria and Austin
Team Defender (Kiefer) - Jedson, LaToya, Josh, Rohan, Julie and Breydon
Kiefer and Tina are confirmed as immune from the first eviction, and there is no HoH or Veto this week as it's a team challenge. Losing team go on the block, apart from of course the captain and live in the same bedrooms as their team members.
Team Challenge
Captains are not eligible to compete. Endurance to get things started. The teams basically have to hold up a barrel of sludge each. Whichever team member is left standing, then that team is safe for the week. Now, we have an added twist where the captains can add sludge to an opposing team member's bucket when a klaxon sounds
It comes down to Rohan v Victoria, and would you believe it, VICTORIA emerges victorious
Team Destiny are officially safe for the week, while Team Defender exc. Kiefer will face the first vote of the season
After the last adbreak, Arisa reveals Tina will be allowed to vote in the event of a tie, but in a little change up the nominees WILL be allowed to vote. Winning team will get a big meal, while the losing team will get slop.
Eviction confirmed for the next episode....That's all for tonight, folks
Not a bad start, and a few little tweaks thrown in as well.....Without jinxing things, looks like a great season ahead.
