Template:Big Brother endgame Big Brother 1 was the debut season of the Canadian reality game show Big Brother.[1] It is based upon the Dutch series of the same name, which gained notoriety in 1999 and 2000. The series is produced by Endemol USA and Insight Productions. Big Brother 1 began airing on February 27, 2013,[2][3][4] and lasted for 71 days ending on May 2, 2013. It was confirmed that more than 10,000 people applied to be on the series, and appeared at the various casting calls nationwide.[5][6] Though there were initially only going to be fourteen HouseGuests, the high amount of applicants later influenced the decision to allow fifteen people to enter the house.[7] In January 2013, it was revealed that Arisa Cox will host the series.[8][9]
The format for Big Brother 1 was similar to that of the one featured in the US version, in which a group of contestants, known as "HouseGuests," compete to win the series by voting each other off and being the last HouseGuest remaining. One HouseGuest, known as the Head of Household, must nominate two of their fellow HouseGuests for eviction. The winner of the Power of Veto has the ability to change the nominations, and if they choose to do so then the HoH must nominate another HouseGuest. The HouseGuests then vote to evict one of the nominees, and the HouseGuest with the most votes is evicted. A twist this season saw a phone being placed in the house, and the first person to answer would receive a secret task.
On May 2, 2013, Jillian McLaughlin*[10] was crowned the winner, with Gary Levy being the runner-up in a controversial finale vote of 4-3 after juror Emerald "Topaz" Brady voted for McLaughlin by mistake.[10]
Production
Development
The series was first announced in 2012. The announcement came after years of various French versions of the series had taken place in the country, following the original format of the series. The US edition of the series had been a hit in the country since its inception, though Canadian viewers could not apply for the series.[11] It was confirmed that casting for the series would begin later that year. Robyn Kass of Kassting Inc, who is the casting director for the American version of the show, confirmed via Twitter that she would also be casting the Canadian edition.[12][13] Casting ran from July 2012 to January 2013.[14] There were open casting calls in areas such as Vancouver, Calgary, Halifax, Montreal, and Toronto.[15][16][17] Online applications for the series began in August, and ended on October 12, 2012. Applicants for the series were required to be over the age of 19 by the beginning of February.[18] In total, an estimated 4,000 people sent in online applications, and more than 6,000 appeared at open casting calls.[19][20] Initially, only fourteen HouseGuests were set to appear on this season, though this number was increased due to the success of the casting calls and online applications.[21] The fifteen HouseGuests were revealed on February 20 through Slice.[22]
Prizes
The competing fifteen HouseGuests were competing for a $100,000 grand prize.[23][24] In addition, the winner would receive a new car,[25] as well as a $25,000 shopping spree from The Brick.[26] The runner-up would receive a $20,000 cash prize. Aside from the main prize, various luxuries and prizes were be given out throughout the season as well.
Broadcasts
The series is slated to premiere on February 27, 2013, and will air three episodes each week.[27] The schedule used for Big Brother 1 is the one used for the sixth to fourteenth editions of the US version.[28] On Thursday's episode, there will be a live eviction, followed by the Head of Household competition. Arisa Cox hosts these episodes, and interviews the evicted HouseGuests each week. The Sunday episode shows the nomination ceremony, as well as any luxury or Have-Not competitions that took place that week. The Wednesday episode shows both the Power of Veto competition and the Power of Veto ceremony. These two episodes do not feature a host. Episodes will premiere at 9 PM Eastern each night.[29] It has been confirmed that the Big Brother spin-off series, Big Brother: After Dark, will air alongside Big Brother 1 on Slice.[30] The series provides an uncensored live feed from the house, airing for three hours every night.[31] Along with the televised series, Big Brother 1 features free live feed streaming from the house.[32]
In addition to these events, Big Brother 1 introduced a new aspect to the series, called the "Power Play."[33] In the online game, fans make predictions on what events will occur during a week in the house, such as who will be nominated, win a competition, or be evicted.[34] Players receive a certain amount of points for correctly guessing a winner, and the players with the highest scores will be able to have larger impact on the game than those with smaller scores.[35] Barbara Williams, SVP of Content for Shaw Media stated "Social engagement is a huge part of Big Brother‘s appeal for fans and we’ve created a completely integrated online experience that will resonate with audiences [...] We’ve developed a platform that gives our audience countless opportunities to engage and make decisions that will impact the series in real time."[36][37]
House
Construction on the Big Brother house officially began in September 2012 in Mississauga, Ontario. Much like other editions of the series, the house was announced to include both an indoor and outdoor area.[38] There are 64 cameras and 50 microphones in the house, and the HouseGuests will also be required to wear microphones at all times.[39] The backyard this season, where competitions will be held, is not actually outside, due to potential bad weather conditions.[40] There are lights in this section of the house, however, that will mimic the rising and setting of the sun as the day goes on.[41] This area features a "contemporary Canada" theme along the walls, with images of popular Canadian culture items being painted on.[42] There is a pool in this area of the house, along with various work out equipment.[43] There is, however, a secret room in the backyard that will lead to a hidden room that is actually outdoors, and features a hot tub.[42] On the house, executive producer of Insight Productions stated, "It has to have working bathrooms, working showers, working kitchens, air conditioning, temperature control, swimming pools, hot tubs, you name it. And all of it has to be inside a studio."[44] The house only features one main bedroom, which features seven double beds.[45] There is also a Head of Household bedroom in the house,[46] which features double doors at its entrance.[47] During her tour of the house, host Arisa Cox described the living room and dining room as having a "mid-century modern" look.[43] There is a hallway with bright greens walls that leads to both the bathroom and bedroom.[48] There is only one toilet and two showers in the house, excluding the one in the HoH bedroom.[49] There is a Moose named Marsha in the hallway to the Diary Room, which can give the HouseGuests tasks.
Format
The format for Big Brother in Canada remains largely unchanged from the US edition, making them the only two version of the series thus far to follow this format.. HouseGuests are sequestered in the Big Brother House with no contact to or from the outside world. Each week, the HouseGuests take part in several compulsory challenges that determine who will win food, luxuries, and power in the House.[50] The winner of the weekly Head of Household competition is immune from nominations and must nominate two fellow HouseGuests for eviction. After a HouseGuest becomes Head of Household, he or she becomes ineligible to take part in the succeeding Head of Household competition.[51][52] HouseGuests also take part in Have and Have-Not competitions in which they are divided into either the "Haves" or the "Have Nots" depending on their performance in the competitions. HouseGuests that become "Have Nots" for the week must eat "Big Brother slop" and a weekly food restriction (chosen by the viewing public), take cold showers, and sleep in a purposely poorly-designed bedroom. The winner of the Power of Veto competition wins the right to save one of the nominated HouseGuests from eviction. If the Veto winner exercises the power, the Head of Household must then nominate another HouseGuest for eviction.[52][53]
On eviction night, all HouseGuests except for the Head of Household and the two nominees vote to evict one of the two nominees.[52] This compulsory vote is conducted in the privacy of the Diary Room by the host Arisa Cox. In the event of a tie, the Head of Household casts the deciding vote, announcing it in front of the other HouseGuests.[54] Unlike other versions of Big Brother, the HouseGuests may discuss the nomination and eviction process openly and freely.[52] The nominee with the greater number of votes will be evicted from the House on the live Thursday broadcast, exiting to an adjacent studio to be interviewed by Cox.[54] HouseGuests may voluntarily leave the House at any time and those who break the rules may be expelled from the house by Big Brother.[55][56] The final seven HouseGuests evicted during the season will vote for the winner on the season finale. These "Jury Members" will be sequestered in a separate house and will not be allowed to watch the show except for competitions and ceremonies that include all of the remaining HouseGuests. The jury members will not be shown any Diary Room interviews or any footage that may include strategy or details regarding nominations.[57]
In addition to the main format, numerous twists have been implemented into Big Brother 1. The main twist featured this season is the inclusion of a phone in the storage room. This phone can ring at any time, and the first HouseGuest to answer it will be set a task by Big Brother. Success or failure will result in a prize or punishment being unleashed either onto the HouseGuest who was given the task or the house as a whole. A second twist involves an artificial mounted moose named Marsha – located in the corridor between the Diary Room and the main house – giving secret tasks to random HouseGuests. Like the red phone, success results in reward, while failure results in punishment. Both the red phone and Marsha require the participating HouseGuest to never disclose information about their secret mission; such an act will automatically result in failure. Later on in the season, a second moose named Marge was installed in the hot tub room, who served the same function as Marsha and the red phone.
Controversy
During the final vote Topaz Brady voted for Jillian McLaughlin instead of Gary Levy. Upon claiming that she mistakenly voted for Jillian, Brady pleaded with show producers to allow her vote be changed — to no avail. Counting Topaz's vote Jillian won Big Brother, with Levy as runner up. Levy voiced his support of the decision, saying "I’m happy for Jillian.".[58]

Summary
This article needs additional citations for verification. (April 2013) |
On Day 1, the original fifteen HouseGuests entered the house. Immediately after the HouseGuests entered the house, it was revealed to the viewers that in the storage room was a red phone that would ring constantly at anytime until answered. The HouseGuest who answers the phone will be given a secret task or mission to complete; success meant reward, while failure meant punishment.[59] By answering the Phone first, Suzette became the first Head of Household, and was given one hour to decide which two HouseGuests to nominate.[60][61][62] She chose Emmett and Tom.[63] Suzette, Tom, and Emmett, along with Peter, Aneal, and Gary, competed in the Power of Veto competition entitled "Power Popper".[64] Wearing purple unitards with a belt with spikes, the competitors had to use the spikes to pop balloons that fell in the backyard. Inside some of the balloons contained puzzle pieces that they would use to complete a puzzle, while the rest contained nothing. The first person to complete their puzzle would win the Power of Veto.[65] Tom won the competition. He chose to remove himself from the block, with Kat being named the replacement nominee. Big Brother later set the HouseGuests a task, in which they had to remain handcuffed in pairs for a total of 24 hours;[66] they successfully completed the task and won alcohol.[67] On Day 8, Kat became the first HouseGuest to be evicted from the series,[68][69] receiving eleven out of a total twelve eviction votes.[70]
Following Kat's eviction, HouseGuests competed in the "Lumber Jack and Jill" endurance competition,[71] in which each HouseGuest had a tree they had to hold onto in the backyard.[67][72] Jillian was the eventual winner of the competition, thus making her the second Head of Household of the season.[73] On Day 13, HouseGuests participated in their first Have-Not competition, the "Batter Up" challenge. Suzette sat out of the competition, due to the uneven amount of players; she was automatically a Have for the week. In the competition, HouseGuests split up into three teams of four. One player from each team got into batter, and their other team members were required to squeeze the batter out of them. They would alternate who was in what position for the challenge. Once finished each group should have "made" a waffle.[74] The team of Alec, Peter, Tom, and Talla lost the competition, and were Have-Nots for the week.[74][75] On Day 14, Jillian nominated Gary and Aneal for eviction.[76] That same night Peter, AJ, and Danielle were selected to play for the Power of Veto this week, while Liza hosted. In the "Oh Snow You Didn't!" Power of Veto competition, HouseGuests made snowballs from bins in front of them. They must then walk across a balance beam, which will put them on a turntable. They then had to walk across a second balance beam, and throw their snowball at the six snowmen located in their igloo. The first HouseGuest to knock over all six snowmen in their igloo would be the winner of the Power of Veto.[77][78] Gary was the winner of the Power of Veto.[79] On Day 15, Gary chose to remove himself from the block with the Power of Veto, with Jillian choosing to nominate Danielle as the replacement nominee.[77] On Day 15, Danielle was evicted from the house in a blindsided vote of eight to three.[80]
Following Danielle's eviction, HouseGuests played "Popular Vote" for the Head of Household title. Tom was the winner of the competition after it came to a tie-breaker question.[81] On Day 20, the HouseGuests competed in the "Dem Apples" Have-Not competition, in which the HouseGuests split into three teams. One HouseGuests wore a bucket around their waist, while their team members had to fling apples into the bucket. The first two teams to get ten apples in their buckets were the winners, with the last team becoming the Have-Nots.[82] Aneal, Topaz, Jillian and Alec were the Have-Nots for the week. This made it the second consecutive time for Alec to be a Have-Not. That same day, Tom chose to nominate Gary and Suzette were nominated for eviction.[83] It was revealed that the viewers would be able to save one of the nominees from eviction, with the results being revealed during that week's live eviction. On Day 21, HouseGuests competed in the "Puck Off" Power of Veto competition. For this challenge, HouseGuests were asked trivia questions, and also had to attempt to break pictures of their fellow HouseGuests by using hockey pucks. Tom was the winner of the Power of Veto, making him the first person in Big Brother Canada history to win both HoH and PoV in the same week.[84][85] On Day 23, he chose to remove Gary from the block, replacing him with AJ.[86] On Day 22, it was revealed that Suzette had been saved from eviction thanks to the Canadian Public. Tom then chose to replace Suzette with Aneal, which resulted in an eight-to-two vote making Aneal the third HouseGuest to be evicted.
Following Aneal's eviction, houseGuests competed in the "Bees Knees" Head of Household competition. It was later revealed that Emmett, Jillian, Talla, and Alec had cheated during the competition. This led to all four becoming the Have-Nots for the week and Emmett losing his HoH title. A new competition was held in which Gary won. Gary nominated Tom And Liza for eviction. Alec won the veto and decided not to use it. On Day 29, Tom was evicted by an eight-to-one vote. Immediately after Tom's eviction, the house competed in an entire week's worth of events. Andrew won Head of Household and put Suzette and Liza on the block. Emmett then won the Power of Veto and decided to keep the nominations the same. Liza received a unanimous vote from her fellow Housemates, making her the fifth HouseGuest to be evicted.
On Day 30 Alec became the 6th HOH of the season. He won $10,000 in the process. The next day he nominated AJ and Suzette for eviction. Emmett went on to win the POV and chose to keep the nominations the same. On Day 36, Suzette was evicted by a vote of 6-1, with Gary being the sole vote to keep her. Topaz then won the Before or After HOH competition. In a twist, Topaz had to immediately nominate two houseguests for eviction without consulting anyone else in the house. The other house guests got to listen in as Topaz thought out loud. She chose to nominate AJ and Andrew. The nomination ceremony was immediately followed by a vote, and AJ was evicted by a vote of 4-2, making him the first member of the jury.
The next morning, Andrew won the "Diary Room Confessions" Head of Household competition. As HOH, he got to choose four houseguests to be the have nots for the week. He chose Emmett, Gary, Peter, and Topaz. Later that day, he nominated Gary and Topaz for eviction. On Day 38, Andrew won the "Build a Demon" Power of Veto competition. By winning the POV, he also won the luxury of watching a private screening of the new Evil Dead movie and chose Jillian and Talla to watch it with him. On Day 40, Andrew chose not to use the Power of Veto. On Day 43, Gary was evicted by a vote of 5-0, becoming the second member of the jury.
Following Gary's eviction, the houseguests competed in the "Iceberg Alley" Head of Household endurance competition. After three hours, Jillian and Topaz were the final two on the ice berg prompting Jillian to make a deal that both Topaz and Alec would be safe for the week if Topaz gave up. Jillian became the new HOH. On Day 45, she broke her deal and nominated Alec and Peter for eviction. Later that day, Peter won the "Bridge to Veto" Power of Veto competition. On Day 47, Peter chose to remove himself from the block, and Jillian named Topaz as the replacement nominee. On Day 50, Alec was evicted by a vote of 3-1. Immediately after Alec's eviction, the house competed in another week's worth of events over the course of an hour. Emmett won the HoH and immediately put up Talla and Topaz. Peter won the Power of Veto and chose not to use it, and Topaz was subsequently evicted by a vote of 3-0. Another twist was then announced, which entailed that an evicted jury member would be voted back into the game by the Canadian public after next Thursday's eviction.
Following the double eviction, the houseguests competed in the "Chicken Flew the Coop" Head of Household competition. Jillian won the competition, making it her third HOH win. The next day, the houseguests competed in a have not competition. Andrew and Talla lost the competition and became the have nots for the week. In addition to being have nots, they also had to be servants to the haves and watch a ten minute compilation video of Emmett and Jillian kissing every morning. They had to wake up an hour early to do these chores. On Day 52, Jillian nominated Andrew and Peter for eviction. The next day, Andrew won the "Sleep Tight with the POV" Power of Veto competition. On Day 54, Andrew chose to remove himself from the block, and Jillian named Talla as the replacement nominee. On Day 57, Peter was evicted by a vote of 2-0.
Following Peter's eviction, it was revealed that Gary was the winner of Canada's vote to bring a jury member back into the game. Emmett soon won his 2nd HOH competition, "Brick by Brick". On Day 58, Emmett made his nominations, nominating Gary and Andrew for eviction. Later that day, Big Brother U.S (Season 10) winner and (Season 14) runner up, Dan Gheesling, came into the house to host the Veto competition and sleep over. Gary won the "The Price of Veto" competition. He chose to take himself off the block and Emmett chose Talla to replace him. On Day 64, Andrew was evicted by a vote of 2-0. Following that day, Jillian won her 4th HOH competition called "What the Dunk". The next day, she chose to nominate Gary and Talla. On Day 66, Emmett won the "Safe from Eviction" POV competition. The next day, to the houseguests' surprise, Arisa came on and announced that the veto ceremony and eviction would take place that night. Emmett chose not to use the veto, and in an emotional eviction, he cast the sole vote to evict Talla from the house, making her the sixth member of the jury.
Emmett, Jillian, and Gary then took part in Part 1 of the three part final Head of Household competition. After four hours, Emmett beat Gary and won the first part. Gary then went on to win Part 2 against Jillian. Gary and Emmett then went on to Part 3, in which Gary won. On Day 71, Gary chose to evict Emmett, making him the seventh and final member of the jury. The jury then cast their votes for the winner. Gary received the votes of AJ, Alec, and Peter. Jillian 8[10] received the votes of Emmett, Andrew, Talla and Topaz.
