Template:Big Brother housemates Big Brother 3 is the third season of the Canadian reality television series Big Brother Canada. It is based upon the Netherlands series of the same name, which gained notoriety in 1999 and 2000. The series is set to premiere on Global on March 23, 2015 and will last for ten weeks.[1] The series revolves around sixteen strangers living in a house together with no communication with the outside world. They are constantly filmed during their time in the house, and are not permitted to communicate with those filming them. 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 safe 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 remained, the previously evicted HouseGuests decide which of them would win the $100,000 grand prize.
Development
Having aired fourteen seasons of the United States' edition in the country, it was confirmed that Canada would receive its own edition of the program in 2013.[2] The new series was produced by Endemol USA and Insight Productions. The first season aired on Slice and proved to be a ratings hit for the network, averaging a total of 2.7 million viewers throughout its course.[3][4] The second season continued to have the success of its predecessor, and saw the launch of a new spin-off series titled Big Brother After Show.[5] The finale for the second season had higher viewership than a 2014 Stanley Cup playoff game.[6] The show's first two seasons were nominated for five Canadian Screen Awards in 2014 and 2015.[7] The third season was officially confirmed by host Arisa Cox on June 4, 2014 through her Twitter account.[8] Cox confirmed both her return to the series, and its move to Global.[9] Global had previously aired the United States' version of the series. Barbara Williams of Shaw Media additionally confirmed this, adding "Our Canadian edition of the beloved Big Brother franchise has quickly become one of the most acclaimed productions in the world and with its move to Global this year, Big Brother Canada’s third installment is looking for the biggest, boldest personalities in Canada to entertain our audiences three nights a week on-air and 24/7 online."[10]
Casting for the third season began on August 20, 2014. John Brunton of Insight Productions stated "Big Brother Canada season two was a blockbuster for the franchise with a perfect storm of personalities pitted against each other inside the Big Brother house and cut off from the outside world [...] The bar has once again been raised and we know our BBCAN Superfans will bring their A-Game to the casting calls this year."[10] Casting was yet again run by Robyn Kass of Kassting, who had done the casting work for the previous seasons.[10] There were seven casting calls scheduled, with dates in Vancouver, Calgary, Regina, Halifax, St. John's, Montreal and Toronto throughout October and November.[11] Online applications were also available, with the deadline being November 24, 2014.[11] Former HouseGuests Jon Pardy and Neda Kalantar appeared at the Tornto casting call.[12] The first promo for the season premiered on December 17.[13] The cast was revealed in a three-night special on ET Canada, starting on March 16, 2015. Six HouseGuests were revealed on the first night, with five additional HouseGuests being revealed on the second and third nights. This makes Big Brother 3 the season with the most HouseGuests to date.
