True to the U.S. format, Big Brother Canada will hand pick a diverse group of competitive contestants in the Big Brother house outfitted wall to wall with cameras and microphones to capture the house guests’ every move. Week to week the house guests compete in a series of challenges and vote each other out until one claims victory and takes home the grand prize. Fans of Big Brother can connect with the series outside of the 3-day-a-week broadcast through a myriad of digital extensions including live streaming and social engagement opportunities that allow online users to impact decisions in the house.

This is fantastic news
I wonder if a Canadian proxy will be needed to get their live feed....... I also wonder whether Canadian viewers will get BB fatigue, since they say they are still going to simulcast BBUSA before their own version. |

I don't think it's going to follow the US format exactly, though the 3 shows a week and competitiveness aspects of the quote do suggest it. I'm expecting it to be different to the US version because the Canadian viewers are already watching the US version - they will want it to stand out.

Some more BB Canada info. It'll be great if it runs Apr-Jun so not clashing with BBUS. |

Ooh, I didn't notice this thread! I'm looking forward to this! I'm more than happy to give it a try, especially if it's on in February when there's nothing really on!

Unless they do a Channel 5 and promise Live Feed and then not deliver i'm going to give the show a shot.. I miss the US version through the year so this should lessen that!

Two seasons of BB for the foreseeable future with the US and Canada versions
I really hope it's not a let down, I want it to follow the US format exactly.

23 weeks until this starts!
Construction on the house is supposed to be happening this month. Also the lower age restriction is 19, compared to 21 for the USA. Also it's approximately 75 days long, the same as recent US versions. Also applicants will live with approximately 'a dozen' strangers.. so around 13 people in all. Prize fund $100k (Canadian dollars, of course!) subject to change. Applicants don't have to be an actual Canadian citizen, just a permanent resident.. I think that differs from the US http://bigbrothercanadacasting.ca/Eligibility Canada: February - Late April/Early May US: June - September |

The house will be located in Toronto, which is 5 hours behind UK time.. better for UK live feeders.
