Big Brother Canada 5 is the fifth season of the Canadian reality television series Big Brother Canada. It is based upon the Dutch series of the same name, which gained notoriety in 1999 and 2000. It was produced by Endemol USA, and Insight Productions. The season premiered on Global on March 15, 2017.
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 2017 Toyota 86, as well as a $30,000 home makeover from The Brick.[1] The runner-up receives a $20,000 cash 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][5] The show's first two seasons were nominated for five Canadian Screen Awards in 2014 and 2015. The fifth season was officially confirmed by Global on June 7, 2016 through their Twitter account. Host Arisa Cox later confirmed that the Big Brother Side Show had been replaced with a weekly Facebook Live chat with the evicted houseguest.

Summary
On Day 1, eight new HouseGuests entered the futuristic Big Brother Canada House, called the Big Brother Odyssey. Soon after, they were told about the first twist. Eight HouseGuests of previous seasons would re-enter the House and play the game alongside them. Bruno, Cassandra, Dallas, Gary, Ika, Kevin, Neda, and Sindy then entered the House. Before the Head of Household competition, each veteran was paired up with a new HouseGuest. The HouseGuests then blasted off in the Dropped In Space Head of Household competition. In this competition, one HouseGuest will be harnessed to the Odyssey and must hold their partner. As the competition goes on, the harnesses will loosen, dragging the HouseGuests at a steeper angle. The last pair standing will win the competition, earn safety for the week, and will gain the right to name any HouseGuest as Head of Household. Karen and Sindy won the competition, and Karen became the first Head of Household. On Day 2, Karen nominated Demetres and Mark for eviction. On Day 3, Karen, Demetres, and Mark, as well as Bruno, Kevin, and Ika went back in time for the Me Want Veto Power of Veto competition. In this competition, HouseGuests had to traverse obstacles with a boulder tied to their ankle to their rock pile. They then had to search for prehistoric emojis that match the paintings on their cave wall. After eight trips, HouseGuests had the opportunity to collect two boulder emojis to remove the boulder from their ankle. Once a HouseGuest has all of their emojis at the cave, they must flip them over to reveal letters and use them to solve a mystery phrase. The first HouseGuest to solve the mystery phrase will win the Power of Veto. Bruno was the winner. On Day 4, Bruno decided not to use the Power of Veto. On Day 6, Mark was evicted by a 7-6 vote, with Bruno, Dallas, Dillon, Emily, Jackie, and Kevin voting to evict Demetres. Arisa then informed the HouseGuests of the first Shock Wave. Canada voted to transport one HouseGuest into the future, thus keeping them safe until the jury begins. Neda was selected to be safe until jury.
Following Mark's eviction, the HouseGuests kicked it in the Balls to the Wall Head of Household competition. HouseGuests competed in head-to-head matches and kicked their ball at the wall. The HouseGuest with the higher score moved on while the other was eliminated. If the ball is touching two spaces at once, HouseGuests will receive the higher number. The last HouseGuest standing will be the new Head of Household. Demetres was the winner. The losers of the head-to-head matches drew cards to determine the Have-Nots for the week. Cassandra, Emily, Ika, and Sindy became Have-Nots for the week. On Day 7, Demetres nominated Dillon and Emily for eviction. Prior to the Power of Veto competition, the competitors were tasked with creating a unique way to dunk an Oreo cookie to be judged the other HouseGuests. The winner will receive an advantage for the Power of Veto competition. Dre received the advantage. On Day 8, Demetres, Dillon, and Emily, alongside Dre, Neda, and Karen, with Dallas as the host, dunked in the Milkin' It Power of Veto competition, sponsored by Oreo. In this competition, HouseGuests must jump into the tub of milk and soak up as much milk as they can. They must then run to their platform and squeeze the milk into their container. The first HouseGuest to fill their container and retrieve the ball inside will win the Power of Veto, as well as $5000 from Oreo. Dre's advantage gave her some extra milk in her container. Dillon was the winner. On Day 10, Dillon took himself off the block, and Demetres named Dallas as the replacement nominee. On Day 11, the HouseGuests were paired up for a task sponsored by Crest. One person would eat a series of foods, while their partner smelt their breath, trying to identify the food they ate. The pair that identified the most foods received a special dinner date. Dre and Cassandra won and received the dinner date. On Day 13, Dallas was evicted by a 12-0 vote.
Following Dallas' eviction, the HouseGuests were quizzed in the And Scene Head of Household competition. HouseGuests were asked questions based on a soap opera the HouseGuests participated in. An incorrect answer resulted in elimination. The last HouseGuest standing will be the new Head of Household. Neda was the winner. On Day 14, the HouseGuests were schooled in the Food Fight Have-Not competition. Before the competition, Neda selected Dillon, Gary, Karen, Ika, and Dre to be the "cool kids" for the competition. They were immune from being Have-Nots. In this competition, the HouseGuests had to walk across a balance beam and collect food items. The "cool kids" threw dodge balls, attempting to knock them off the balance beam. The four HouseGuests who collected the least amount of food items were the Have-Nots for the week. Bruno, Cassandra, Demetres, and William were Have-Nots for the week. On Day 14, Neda nominated Cassandra and Jackie for eviction, with Cassandra as the target. On Day 15, Neda, Cassandra, Jackie, William, Ika, and Emily strutted their stuff in the Runway to Veto Power of Veto competition. In the first round of the competition, the competitors competed in head-to-head matches. They must watch a model walk down the runway, then recreate the outfit on their mannequin. The HouseGuest who has the fastest overall time will automatically advance to the final round. The last HouseGuest standing will win the Power of Veto. William won the Power of Veto. On Day 17, William decided not to use the Power of Veto. On Day 18, all HouseGuests were put on slop for disrespecting Big Brother. On Day 20, Cassandra was evicted by a 11-0 vote.
Following Cassandra's eviction, Arisa informed the HouseGuests of the next Shock Wave. The next week will be Backwards Week. The HouseGuests were each required to name two HouseGuests for eviction. The two HouseGuests with the most votes would be nominees for the week. Dre and Gary were nominated for eviction. On Day 22, Dre, Gary, Neda, William, Kevin, and Emily went old-fashioned for the Highway to Spell Power of Veto competition. In each round of the competition, HouseGuests had to run down their lane to collect letters from their windshield. They must then spell a word of a specific length in a specific amount of time. If they cannot spell a word, they will be eliminated. In the final round, HouseGuests must use their remaining tiles to spell the longest word they can. The HouseGuest who spells the longest final word will win the Power of Veto. Neda was the winner. On Day 24, Neda decided not to use the Power of Veto. On Day 25, HouseGuests campaigned in the Slop Vote Have-Not competition. In this competition, each HouseGuest privately placed ten cookies into the bucket of the HouseGuests they wanted to be Have-Nots for the week. However, unbeknownst to the HouseGuests, the four HouseGuests with the least cookies would be Have-Nots for the week. Bruno, Demetres, Emily, and William became Have-Nots for the week. On Day 26, the HouseGuests held on in the Heavy Rotation Head of Household competition. In this competition, HouseGuests must lay on the spinning dome while holding onto the handle above their hand. The last HouseGuest standing will be the new Head of Household and will have the sole vote at the eviction. Demetres became the new Head of Household. The HouseGuests received a task to find clues to figure out how to stop the hijacking of the Odyssey. The HouseGuests passed their task and received a sneak preview of Private Eyes. On Day 27, Demetres cast the sole vote to evict Gary.
Following Gary's eviction, the HouseGuests faced their past in the Oh Snap Head of Household competition. In this competition, HouseGuests were asked questions based on video messages from the evicted HouseGuests. An incorrect answer resulted in elimination. The last HouseGuest standing will be the new Head of Household. William was the winner. Karen and Kevin were given a secret mission to throw a tiki party and convince seven people to give them a piece of clothing. If they succeed, there will be no Have-Nots for the week. if they fail, Karen and Kevin will be the only Have-Nots for the week. They passed their task and there were no Have-Nots for the week. Half of the HouseGuests were given a task to create snack bites to represent the other HouseGuests. The tasters must identify which taster the snack represents. If they can identify four snacks, the HouseGuests will receive a reward. The HouseGuests passed their task and received a campfire sleepover. On Day 28, William nominated Dillon and Emily for eviction.

Notes
- ^Note 1 : In the first Head of Household competition, the HouseGuests competed in pairs of one new and one returnee HouseGuest. The winning pair won Immunity for the week and the power to name any HouseGuest as Head of Household. The winning pair was Karen & Sindy, and they chose Karen to be the Head of HouseHold.
- ^Note 2 : During the premiere, voting opened for "Canada's Time Warp." The HouseGuest that is awarded the Time Warp will have Immunity from eviction until the Jury Phase of the game. On Day 6, it was revealed that Canada voted for Neda to get the Time Warp with 21% of Canada's vote. She can still compete in competitions and could win HoH, PoV, and become a Have-Not each week.[6]
- ^Note 3 : During Week 3's Veto Episode, it was announced that Week 4 would be "Backwards Week", with the week's competitions and ceremonies played in reverse order. First, a House Vote was held to name the week's nominees, with each HouseGuest voting for two nominees. Then the HouseGuest competed in the PoV competition. Had the PoV been used, a second House Vote would have been held to name a replacement nominee. Finally, the HouseGuests (excluding Neda, as outgoing HoH and Dre and Gary, as the nominees) competed in the HoH competition, with that HoH having the power to evict either nominee at the Eviction. [7]
- ^Note 4 :Week 5 was a double eviction week. Following the eviction, the remaining HouseGuests played a week's worth of game — including HoH and PoV competitions, and Nomination, Veto, and Eviction ceremonies — during the remainder of the live show, culminating in a second eviction for the week.
