The new season of BIg Brother Canada begins tomorrow. The biggest change this season is they have decided to drop the livefeeds and instead they will post "hours and hours of video online called Video Dailies. Its been a huge thing withing the BBCAN fandom. They claim its to protect the houseguests mental health. From what I gather from host and exec producer Arisa Cox, the team that produces the show didnt want this change but they were pushed by Global, the network, to do it. She is a super fan and feeds watcher like us. So I know she wasnt happy about it either. The fans are not happy. (I type more, but Im personally disgusted, as they dont have a great track record of putting together a good story edit)
ANYWHOOoooo.
The new house has been posted tour with Host/Exec Prod Arisa Cox has been posted. The theme this year is a mysterious house. Apparently there is meant to be secrets in the walls. Sounds like Traitors, but its likely this was already in the works before Traitors became a hit. SO there's that comparison. They have done some reconstruction work. Not a lot. Basically the stair case has completely been reconfigured. It fits the theme. I  have to say they did art deco well. Because Celebrity Big Brother did a grand art deco look and of course everything was completely dark and drab. This is art deco done right. One area that bears watching is the library... as you'll see in the video tour.

Main entrance and living view with new staircase doorway. The library is the door on the lower floor to the right, that used to be the old HAVE-NOT room the door to the right should still be the diary room entrance. It seem as though the nomination room has been removed. It was always located to the left. Seems to be a sitting nook. On the upper to the left of the entrance is the communal bathroom and 2 bedrooms are located off to the left. The double doors to the right is the HOH room. The stairs used to descend down just to the right of the HOH door.  Seems there is a balcony that goes around the entire upper level. Buts its hard to confirm as we havent seen a shot of the livingroom from the main door.

Great house as always but it's done with the decision to axe the live feeds. Has already killed the fanbase - the hype pretty much vanished overnight.

Totally....literally the quietest pre-season in the fandom I've ever seen. And the hardcore fanbase is ANGRY. My thoughts are, whist I dont want the feeds to go away, how they handled the announcement was a disaster. And the dreadful PR spin they put on it didnt help. They could has said that the feeds will be delayed or clipped for content or something....But simply throwing out the "Video Dailies" title or whatever and not explaining what that actually means or what exactly it entails was a huge mistake, because it only allowed time for the anger and speculation to grow. But then throwing poor Arisa Cox to the dogs to try to explain to a frothing fanbase that we are getting hours and hours of content, but still not saying exactly when or how often this was going to happen was ridiculous and foolish.  I dont know what the long-term damage this will have done to the franchise. Even Julie Chen-Mooves....who acts like BBCAN or any international version dont exist, weighed in that the US Feeds will still be on BBUS. And we all know BBUS puts together a better edit in comparison, but has absolutely rubbish production values.  Not a good look.

They release some new images, the sponsored areas is ridiculous, but Canada is such a small market they have to do these things in order to put on a show like this. BBCAN's longevity is unusual because reality shows of this qualit are typically short lived in Canada.



HOH Bathroom


They completly revamped the pantry. its bright and white to match the new kitchen. Their 3 sponsored areas. (Shark hoovers, Hello Fresh meals, Wendy's window is still there)


They have petrol garage (gas station) shop themed room - geez (this used to be the Expedia room
