Format

Further information: Big Brother Canada § Format

Big Brother Canada follows a group of contestants, known as House Guests who move into a custom-built house outfitted with cameras and microphones, recording their every move 24 hours a day. ^[4] The House Guests are sequestered in the Big Brother Canada House with no contact with the outside world. ^[5] During their stay, the House Guests share their thoughts on events and other HouseGuests inside a private room referred to as the Diary Room. ^{[6] [7]} At the start of each week in the house, the House Guests compete for the title of Head of Household, often shortened to simply HoH. ^[8] The winner of the HoH competition is immune from eviction and will name two House Guests to be nominated for eviction. ^[9] After the nominees are determined, the Power of Veto competition is played. Five players will compete in the competition: the two nominees and three random players, with the winner receiving the Power of Veto. If a House Guest chooses to exercise the Power of Veto, the Head of Household is obligated to name a replacement nominee. ^[10] The holder of the Power of Veto is safe from being nominated as the replacement nominee. ^[11] On eviction night, all House Guests must vote to evict one of the nominees, with the exception of the nominees and the Head of Household. The eviction vote is by secret ballot, with House Guests casting their votes orally in the Diary Room. In the event of a tied vote, the Head of Household will cast a tie-breaking vote publicly. The nominee with the majority of the votes is evicted from the house. Midway through the season, the evicted House Guests go on to become members of the "jury"; the jury is responsible for choosing who wins the series. The final Head of Household competition is split into three parts; the winners of the first two rounds compete in the third and final round. Once only two House Guests remain, the members of the jury cast their votes for who should win the series. ^{[12] [13]}

Summary

Week 1 & 2
On Day 1, 16 House Guests entered the murder-mystery-themed Big Brother Canada Manor. Arisa revealed that there will be no eviction in the first week, though she revealed the first big twist of the season, known as "Dead Last", in which the House Guest to place last in the Head of Household competition will be automatically nominated as a third nominee. HoH Competition Part 1 ("Rough Around the Hedges"): One House Guest from each pair must untie knots to release a series of puzzle pieces. They must then weave a key through the vines up to their teammate, who will unlock the hatch and untie their own pieces. Each pair must then work together to solve the puzzle. The first pair to complete the puzzle will win the competition and will compete against one another for Head of Household. The last-place pair will also compete against each other to determine Dead Last. John Michael and Santina were the winners, while Renee and Shanaya came in last. HoH Competition Part 2: The House Guests in each pair then raced to a puzzle of season 10 winner Kevin Jacobs' head. They must then maneuver their hedges so they can roll a ball down a chute into his crown. The first House Guest to land the ball (between John Michael and Santina) will be the first Head of Household; the last House Guest to land the ball (between Renee and Shanaya) would become Dead Last. Renee became Dead Last, while Santina became the first Head of Household. On Day 4, Amal walked from the game for personal reasons. John Michael told Zach that he wanted to target the strong men if he won HOH. Zach, in turn, rallied the other guys together to convince Santina to go after John Michael. The House Guests also learned they can earn Wendy's Reward Points that could help their game in the future. On Day 6, Claudia was voted by the public to receive the "BelAir Direct Eviction Protection Insurance", granting them immunity for the week. On Day 7, Santina nominated Anika and Dan alongside Renee for eviction, an intent to backdoor John Michael. On Day 8, the nominees, alongside Daniel and Ty, competed in the Power of Veto competition. PoV Competition ("Can't Slop, Won't Slop") House Guests must fill their cups with the secret sauce, slide down their lane, and pour it into their jugs. After their jugs are full, they must mix it with oatmeal to make slop. House Guests have to then launch the slop into their barrel to lift it. The first House Guest to raise their barrel will win the Power of Veto, while the losers will go on slop until after the Veto Meeting. Ty won the competition, while Anika, Dan, Daniel, and Renee went on slop. On Day 10, Ty took Anika off the block, and Santina nominated John Michael as the replacement nominee. After the veto meeting, John Micheal rallied hard trying to get numbers to stay. On Day 13, John Michael was evicted by a unanimous vote of 11–0–0. It was then announced that the "Dead Last" twist was over.
Week 3
Following John Michael's eviction, the House Guests competed in the Head of Household Competition. HoH Competition ("Basket Slide"): The house guests grabbed a ball from the bottom, ran to the top, and slid down while shooting their ball into point-valued baskets.

There is a 2-minute time limit and whichever house guest has more bristles in the hole would move on and eliminate the other houseguest. The winner of the final round would win the Power of Veto. Zach won the final round and earned the Power of Veto along with a $5000 cash prize from Philips Sonicare. Rallying for Roberto to be evicted, Zach used the Power of Veto on Hope; Dan nominated Roberto as the replacement. Vanessa and Zach were then involved in a screaming match, about how the latter was trying to play all sides. On Day 20, after much debate, Roberto was evicted by a vote of 7–4 with Vanessa, Hope, Santina, and Jonathan voting to evict Renee.

Hope used the Veto on himself and Kuzie named Zach as the replacement nominee. Zach then noticed an unauthorized item from Hope and informed production about it. Hope was confronted about the letter, which later sparked an argument in the house. After the talk with a producer, they announced that Hope would lose a vote in the upcoming eviction and would be ineligible for the next Head of Household competition. Everyone then received a letter from home to make up for the incident. However, this upsets Ty and Zach who wanted him ejected for bringing an unauthorized item into the house. On Day 26, Ty and Zach both contemplated walking from the game. Ultimately, Ty decided to stay in the house while Zach walked from the game. As Zach was a nominee, this week's eviction was cancelled.

Twists

Dead Last Nomination

In Week 2, the HouseGuest who placed last in the Head of Household competition was automatically nominated as the Dead Last Nominee. After the pair of Renee and Shanaya came in last place during the HoH competition, they faced off in a second competition in which the loser would automatically become a third nominee for the week. Renee lost the competition, and therefore became the Dead Last Nominee for the week. While the Dead Last Nominee could not pick a player for the Power of Veto competition, they could still be taken off the block if the Veto is used on them. If the Dead Last Nominee is removed from the block, the HoH would then have to still choose a replacement nominee.

Wendy's Rewards Points

In the seasons run, the HouseGuests will be able to earn Wendy's Rewards points through various means, including becoming a Head of Household; winning the Power of Veto; being selected by the HoH for breakfast, surviving an eviction as a nominee; or completing a week of the game, among others. When a HouseGuest is evicted, they must bequeath their remaining points to a HouseGuest still in the game. On Day 58, it was revealed that the points would be spent at an Auction, during which the Final 5 HouseGuests could buy rewards, calls and letters from home and game advantages.

Whodunit Week

Similar to the Invisible HoH twist of season 9, all competition winners for the week will not be announced. All decisions were made in the Diary Room, before being displayed on screen during the ceremonies.

Additionally, to disguise the Anonymous HoH, they were eligible to compete for the Power of Veto if they were drawn and could compete the following week to be HoH; however, they did not have access to the HoH Suite.

Fatal Feast

Week 6 included an Instant Eviction, which occurred at a surprise feast for the HouseGuests that was revealed to be a Fatal Feast. The game structure for the Fatal Feast Eviction operated similarly to the Chain of Safety twist from season 10, with the nominations being determined by a "Chain of Safety" selection process. Beginning with Kuzie, as reigning Head of Household, each HouseGuest would select another HouseGuest to save until three were left unselected. The remaining three would then compete for safety in a second challenge to determine that night's set of nominees who would face the House's vote.

	Fatal Feast
Head of Household	Kuzie
1	Hope
2	Anika
3	Daniel
4	Shanaya
5	Claudia
Safety Challenge	Ty
Nominated	Renee Santina

Other twists

• During Week 1, there was no eviction, and the first eviction was held during Week 2 instead.

Arisa Cox @arisacox

Big Brother Canada Season 11. Confirmed. Spring 2023. That’s it, that’s the tweet. #BBCAN11 @BigBrotherCA

June 9, 2022 ^[16]

The eleventh season was produced by Insight Productions, in association with Corus Entertainment and Banijay. ^[17] The season was first announced on June 8, 2022, at the Corus upfronts for the 2022–23 Canadian network television schedule. A press release for the show's renewal confirmed that Arisa Cox would return as a host and as an executive producer. Executive producers John Brunton, Erin Brock and Eric Abboud were also confirmed to be returning for the season. ^[2] Casting began on August 8, 2022, with Kassting Inc. returning to provide casting services for the show. Online applications opened upon the start of casting and closed on November 11, 2022; the cast was announced on March 1, 2023. ^[18] On February 6, 2023, it was announced that the season would premiere on March 8, 2023. ^[19]

While premiere and all weekly eviction episodes took place behind closed doors, live audiences returned for the first time since Big Brother Canada 8 for the season finale.

Prizes

In addition to the main C$100,000 cash prize, the winner, as decided by a jury of evicted HouseGuests, will win an additional C$10,000 provided by Winners intended for new clothing, and C$10,000 worth of SharkNinja products. ^[20] Meanwhile, the runner-up receives C$20,000 and the HouseGuest voted as Canada's Favourite HouseGuest receives $10,000.

Additional prizes were also offered during select challenges held during the seasons.

Production design

On February 27, Global released images of the HoH room, foyer, diary room, and the bathroom of the new house, billed as the Big Brother Canada Manor. ^[21] The house is built with hidden passageways and hidden twists "designed to stroke paranoia in the house". ^[22]

Digital Dailies

On February 23, it was announced that the show's 24/7 live feeds will be replaced with "Digital Dailies", featuring uncut footage from the house that will be published weekly on the show's website. ^[23] The move received backlash online. ^{[24] [25]} Lorraine Palinkas of ScreenRant described the elimination of the 24/7 live feeds in lieu of the "Digital Dailies" as "surprising", while commenting that "it seems that production felt that the feeds were doing more harm than good". ^[26]

• ^Note 4 : On Day 22, Vanessa walked from the game due to an undisclosed medical issue. As Vanessa was nominated, Head of Household Kuzie had to nominate a replacement nominee. She nominated Hope.
• ^Note 5 :   As punishment for sneaking in contraband (a personal letter, placed among his socks from his girlfriend) from the outside world into the house, Hope was not eligible from voting in Week 4's Eviction prior to its cancellation (see note 6), and he was unable to compete for Head of Household in week 5.
• ^Note 6 : On Day 26, Zach walked from the game after being upset that Hope was not expelled for sneaking in contraband (see note 5). His exit resulted in the cancellation of Week 4's Eviction.

Starting with the reigning Head of Household, each House Guest would select another House Guest to save until three remained. The three House Guests left unselected competed in a safety challenge, with the winner (indicated by   ) saving themselves from Eviction. The two remaining House Guests were the final nominees and faced the House's Vote.
• ^Note 9 : This week was a double eviction week. Following the first eviction, the remaining HouseGuests played a week's worth of games, including Head of Household and Veto competitions and Nomination, Veto and Eviction ceremonies, during the remainder of the live show, culminating in a second eviction for the night.
• ^Note 10 : The Jury voted to crown the winner of Big Brother Canada 11.

Reception

The season received a mixed to negative reception from viewers and critics alike. Lee Whitten of ScreenRant deemed the season as a "very weak" installment for the show, citing the "unlikable presence" of the eventual winner, Ty, and the "weak overall gameplay" seen on the show. Whitten added that the elimination of live feeds "doomed" the season from the start. ^[27]
