Big Brother Canada season 6

Template:Big Brother housemates Big Brother Canada 6 is the current sixth season of the Canadian reality television series Big Brother Canada. The season premiered on March 7, 2018 on Global. It is based upon the Dutch series of the same name, which gained notoriety in 1999 and 2000.

The series revolves around different strangers living in a house together with no communication with the outside world. They are constantly filmed during their time in the house with live feeds on the Internet and have no communication with the outside world. One HouseGuest, known as the Head of Household, has the task of nominating two of their fellow HouseGuests for eviction. The Power of Veto can be used to save a nominee. The HouseGuests then vote to evict one of the nominees, with the HouseGuest who receives the most votes being evicted from the house. When only two HouseGuests remain, nine of previously evicted houseguests decide which of them will win the grand prize of $100,000, a European dream vacation for two courtesy of Air Transat, as well as a $30,000 home makeover from The Brick. The runner-up receives a $20,000 cash prize.

Development

It was originally announced in June 2017 that Big Brother Canada had been put on indefinite hiatus. In response, the show's fan base started a campaign to save the program. After several weeks, it was announced that due to the overwhelming response from viewers, the show had been green lit for a sixth season in 2018.

Summary

On Day 1, Erica, Hamza, Kaela, William, Alejandra, Andrew, Rozina, Johnny, Olivia, Jesse, Paras, Ryan, Maddy and Derek entered the House. A twist shortly after forced Andrew to select seven HouseGuests to live in Hell for the first week; only these HouseGuests could compete for Head of Household and be nominated for eviction, whilst those living in Heaven were immune. He chose to send Alejandra, Johnny, Kaela, Maddy, Paras, Rozina, and Will to Hell, where they competed in the Feel the Burn Head of Household competition. In this endurance competition, HouseGuests had to hold on to rocks connected to an adjacent wall which tilted forwards and backwards at several intervals during the game. If a HouseGuest fell off the wall, they were eliminated. Johnny was the last HouseGuest standing, and he therefore became the new Head of Household. On Day 2, Johnny nominated Alejandra and Rozina for eviction. Derek, Paras, Kaela, and Jesse formed the "Real Deal" alliance. On Day 3, Johnny, Alejandra, and Rozina, as well as Hamza, Olivia, and Jesse, squirmed in the Game of Inches Power of Veto competition. In this competition, HouseGuests must crawl along their lane, take an egg and carry it along their lane. At the five inch mark, they may no longer use their hands to transport the egg. They must move their egg into one of the five holes at the end of their lane. Each HouseGuest also has one golden egg. If a HouseGuest lands a golden egg, they will freeze their opponents for thirty seconds. The first HouseGuest to land an egg in all five holes will win the Power of Veto. Johnny was the winner. On Day 4, Johnny decided not to use the Power of Veto. On Day 6, Rozina was evicted by a 11-0 vote. Immediately following Rozina's eviction, Arisa revealed the Gate Crashers twist to the HouseGuests. Merron and Veronica were revealed to have won Canada's vote and entered the House. They were given immunity for one week.

Following Rozina's eviction and Merron and Veronica's entrance, the HouseGuests splashed in the Right in the Kisser Head of Household competition. Before the competition, HouseGuests filled out a first impressions survey of each other in private. The HouseGuests will be read a question, and the first HouseGuest to buzz in will head to the bar with their martini glass. They must then throw their drink in the face of the HouseGuest they believe is the correct answer. If they are correct, they can choose a HouseGuest to eliminate. If they are incorrect, they will be eliminated. The last HouseGuest standing will be the new Head of Household. Ryan was the winner. As Head of Household, Ryan was required to name four Have-Nots for the week. Derek, Erica, Hamza, and Jesse became Have-Nots for the week. On Day 7, Ryan nominated Andrew and Hamza for eviction, with the plan to backdoor Olivia. On Day 8, Ryan, Andrew, and Hamza, alongside Johnny, Jesse, and Erica, scrapped in the Tomb Raider Power of Veto competition. In this competition, HouseGuests must first untie themselves from their pole. Afterwards, they must use their bow and arrow to knock off their first puzzle piece. They must then climb over the wall and search the jungle for the rest of their pieces. They can bring only one puzzle piece back at a time. They must then use their pieces to assemble their pyramid puzzle. When completed, the puzzle will reveal a code to unlock the Tomb of the Mother of Death. The first HouseGuest to unlock the tom will win the Power of Veto, as well as an advanced screening of "Tomb Raider" and $5000. Erica was the winner. On Day 10, Erica decided not to use the Power of Veto. The House began to divide based on where everyone was sleeping, with the Red Room of Alejandra, Derek, Erica, Jesse, Johnny, Kaela, Merron and Olivia against the White Room of Andrew, Hamza, Maddy, Paras, Ryan, Veronica, and Will. At the live eviction, Arisa revealed the Gate Crashers Merron and Veronica were ineligible to vote. On Day 13, Andrew was evicted by a 10-0 vote.

Following Andrew's eviction, the HouseGuests paired up for the Handle with Care Head of Household competition. Before the competition, HouseGuests had a random draw to determine their partner. As Erica was the odd one out, she earned immunity for the week. In this competition, HouseGuests must work together, while in their individual crates, to transport fruit from one end of the yard to the other. One HouseGuest must pass the fruit to their partner halfway, who will then deposit the fruit into their tray. The first team to transfer all of their fruit will win the competition, and they will decide who between them will be the new Head of Household. Hamza and Veronica were the winners, and Hamza became the new Head of Household. The showmances Derek/Kaela, Will/Veronica, Jesse/Paras, and Erica/Merron tested how well they knew each other in the Will You Showmance? Have-Not competition. In this competition, one person of each pair would answer a question in private. Their partner would then be asked the same question, trying to match their partner's answer. If they match, they will earn one point. The two pairs with the least points will be Have-Nots for the week. Derek, Erica, Kaela, and Merron became Have-Nots for the week. On Day 14, Hamza nominated Jesse and Olivia for eviction. On Day 15, Hamza, Jesse, and Olivia, joined by Derek, Ryan, and Erica, freshened up in the Fresh off the Block Power of Veto competition, sponsored by Wendy's. In this competition, HouseGuests must walk across their balance beams to their freeze. They must then break open an ice block from the freezer to retrieve a ball. They must then walk back across their balance beam to their garden. They can then attempt to knock down one of their targets. After they knock down four targets, they can attempt to search their garden for a key which unlocks a larger tool to help break the ice. The first HouseGuest to knock down all of their targets will win the Power of Veto, as well as $5000. Hamza was the winner. On Day 17, Hamza decided not to use the Power of Veto. On Day 18, the HouseGuests were given the task to clean the House, but also dance when music played. The HouseGuests completed their task and won food from "Skip the Dishes". On Day 20, Jesse was evicted by a 9-2 vote, with Derek and Veronica voting to evict Olivia.

Following Jesse's eviction, the HouseGuests recalled in the Night in the BBCAN Museum Head of Household competition. The day before the competition, the HouseGuests had the opportunity to view three exhibits from memorable moments in "Big Brother Canada" history. HouseGuests were asked a series of questions about the exhibits. An incorrect answer resulted in elimination. The last HouseGuest standing will be the new Head of Household. Erica was the winner. On Day 21, Erica nominated Maddy and Merron for eviction. On Day 22, Erica, Maddy, Merron, Olivia, Alejandra, and Ryan fished in the Fisherman's Barf Power of Veto competition. In the first round, each HouseGuest will be connected to a fishing line wrapped around a series of posts. While attached to one end of the line, they must climb over, under, and around the posts in order to untangle the line. The first three to untangle their fishing line and ring their bell will move on to the final round. Olivia, Erica, and Maddy moved on to the final round. For the final round, they must each roll over their fishing pole in order to reel in their fish. The first HouseGuest to reel in their fish will win the Power of Veto. Erica was the winner. On Day 24, Erica decided to take Maddy off the block, and named Veronica as the replacement nominee. On Day 25, Cassandra from Big Brother Canada 4 & 5 surprised the HouseGuests for a task. The guys were required to give the girls an '80s-themed makeover. However, the guys were also secretly given the task to give the worst makeover possible. The best pair will win a $2000 cash prize and a year's supply of "L'Oreal" hair care products, as well as a special dinner. Veronica and Johnny won the task. Just before the Live Eviction, Arisa informed the HouseGuests of the Double Eviction. On Day 27, Veronica was evicted by a 9-1 vote, with Will voting to evict Merron. The HouseGuests then faced off in the One, Two, Three Head of Household competition. In this competition, HouseGuests played in a series of head-to-head matches. They were asked a question about the season's events. The answer will either be one, two, or three. The first HouseGuest to buzz in with the correct answer will advance and eliminate their opponent. If they are incorrect, they will be eliminated and their opponent will advance. If nobody buzzes in, they will both be eliminated unless they are the final two. The survivor of the match will then select the next two HouseGuests to face off. The last HouseGuest standing will be the new Head of Household. Olivia was the winner. She immediately nominated Merron and Ryan for eviction. Afterwards, Olivia, Merron, and Ryan, plus Alejandra, Hamza, and Paras, bounced in the Big Brother Pinball Power of Veto competition. In this competition, each HouseGuest has their own board with two balls and five targets. They must slide their balls down their board, trying to knock down their targets. The first HouseGuest to knock down all of their targets will win the Power of Veto. Ryan was the winner. At the Veto Meeting, Ryan took himself off the block, and Olivia named Hamza as the replacement nominee. On Day 27, Hamza was evicted by an 8-1 vote, with Erica voting to evict Merron.

Following Veronica and Hamza's evictions, the HouseGuests were hung over in the About Last Night Head of Household competition. In this competition, HouseGuests were asked true-false questions based on the party they had the previous night. An incorrect answer resulted in elimination. The last HouseGuest standing will be the new Head of Household. Erica was the winner. For being the first four eliminated during the Head of Household competition, Alejandra, Kaela, and Merron became Have-Nots for the week. Since there was a tie for the last Have-Not, Erica selected Johnny to join them. On Day 28, Erica nominated Merron and Ryan for eviction, with Merron as the target. On Day 29, Erica, Merron, and Ryan, beside Alejandra, Maddy, and Johnny, delivered in the Delivering the Goods Power of Veto competition. In this competition, HouseGuests must deliver a series of ten various restaurant orders to various homes. However, the orders are made more difficult by leaving out key information, which they must figure out themselves. The HouseGuest who completes the ten orders in the fastest time will win the Power of Veto, as well as a $5000 "Skip the Dishes" gift card. Johnny was the winner. On Day 31, Johnny decided not to use the Power of Veto. The Gatecrashers officially ended, because of Merron's impending eviction. On Day 34, Merron was evicted in a 5-3 vote, with Ali, Derek, and Kaela voting to evict Ryan.

Notes

• ^Note 1 :   On Night 1, the 14 HouseGuests participated in a toast. Andrew toasted with the only Goblet with a Blue Eye. Because of this, he was tasked with dividing the House between Heaven and Hell. The 7 HouseGuests sent to Heaven would have immunity from the first eviction and be given their personal belongings. The 7 HouseGuests sent to Hell would not be given their belongings and be on slop for the first week. Additionally, they will be the only HouseGuests eligible to compete for Head of Household.
• ^Note 2 :   Four potential contestants competed for Canada's vote to become Houseguests. Following Rozina's eviction, it was revealed that Veronica and Merron received the most votes to enter the House. As new HouseGuests, they were immune for the week and were not eligible to vote at the second eviction.
• ^Note 3 :   Week 3’s HoH Competition was played in pairs. As Erica was left without a partner, she was awarded immunity for the week. However, Erica will still be able to compete in the next HOH.
• ^Note 4 : Week 4 was a double eviction week. Following the Veronica's eviction, the remaining HouseGuests played a week's worth of games—including HoH and Veto competitions and Nomination, Veto and Eviction ceremonies—during the remainder of the live show, culminating in a second eviction for the week.
• ^Note 5 : After Merron's eviction, Arisa revealed the "Canada's Save" Twist to the audience. Following Week 6's Veto episode, voting will open to save a nominee with an additional option to not use the power. Should Canada use their save, the HoH must name a replacement nominee at the live eviction ceremony. Should the power not be used during Week 6, the power will carry over to Week 7 where after Following Week 7's Veto episode, voting will open again to save a nominee or not use the power. After Week 7, the power will expire, regardless of its usage or lack thereof.
• ^Note 6 :   During the Head of Household competition, houseguests were given temptations to drop out. Derek dropped out of the HoH competition and gained immunity for the week.
