Big Brother Canada 7 is the seventh season of the Canadian reality television series Big Brother Canada. It is based on the Dutch series of the same name, which gained notoriety in 1999 and 2000. The season premiered on March 6, 2019, on Global and ended after 69 days on May 9, 2019, when Dane Rupert was named the winner and Anthony Douglas the runner-up. This was the first time in history that both the winner and runner-up received zero votes to evict in the entire season.

This season revolved around 15 strangers (known as HouseGuests) living in a house together while being constantly filmed and having no communication with the outside world as they competed to be the last HouseGuest remaining. The HouseGuests competed in challenges for power and safety before voting each other out of the house. When only two HouseGuests remained, a jury formed of previously evicted houseguests decided which finalists win the grand prize of $100,000, a $25,000 home furnishing makeover from Leon's, $10,000 worth of groceries courtesy of Summer Fresh, as well as a dream vacation for two anywhere in the world courtesy of Contiki Holidays. The runner-up received a $20,000 cash prize.

HouseGuests

The fifteen HouseGuests were revealed on February 27, 2019.

Future appearances

In 2023, Samantha Picco appeared on the second season of Bachelor in Paradise Canada. Picco later appeared in the ninth season of the American version of Bachelor in Paradise.

In 2024, Anthony Douglas returned to compete as a HouseGuest on Big Brother Canada 12 along with Big Brother Canada 9 HouseGuest, Victoria Woghiren.

Twists

Power of Veto Competition

In a format twist beginning with this season and continued in future seasons, only 5 HouseGuests would compete for the Power of Veto - the two nominees were guaranteed to play along with three HouseGuests chosen by random draw. The Head of Household - who in previous seasons, was guaranteed to play - would not be eligible to compete in the Power of Veto Competition until the Final 5 round.

Leon's Secret Lounge

A secret room was hidden in a new area of the house - periodically, Canada will get the opportunity to vote to send someone into the room for various reasons until Day 28 when it was revealed to all the HouseGuests. After Day 28, several twists involving more than one HouseGuest or the entire house revolved around the Lounge.

Top Level Clearance

When the cast was revealed, voting had opened to the public to decide which one HouseGuest would secretly be the first to enter the house. Once in the secret lounge, they could spy on the first two moving-in groups. Damien eventually ended up getting the most votes. Immediately after entering the house, he had to look for a secret room where he could stay and watch the first two groups of HouseGuests move in. After they moved in, he exited the room and joined the third and final move-in group to officially enter the house.

Video Intel

During Week 3's Nominations Episode, voting opened for Canada to send another HouseGuest into Leon's Lounge. There, this HouseGuest would receive an "unprecedented video leak" and video intel on other HouseGuests. Damien again won the public vote and, after being led through a series of clues, entered Leon's Secret Lounge and selected video intel on Mark and Samantha.

Blood Veto

The Blood Veto was hidden in the Lounge since Day 1, and both times Damien entered the Lounge, he tried to grab it but an alarm would go off, signaling that it was off limits. On Day 28, the HouseGuests were all told about Leon's Secret Lounge and, consequently, the Blood Veto. Big Brother then told the HouseGuests that they would have to unanimously decide who they thought should receive the Blood Veto despite not knowing how it worked. Kyra won the Blood Veto; however, they then became ineligible to compete in the next Power of Veto competition. They also became immune for the week.

During Week 5's Veto Ceremony, Kyra was sent to the Diary Room to secretly be told about the Blood Veto's power - that while the Blood Veto holder wouldn't vote at the eviction, the Blood Veto holder could overrule the house's eviction vote and choose to evict the other nominee. The Blood Veto was only in play for Week 5's eviction. Kyra decided not to use it, leaving Kiera's Eviction in place.

Secret Asset

On the night of the premiere, it was revealed that Canada would vote between two “Secret Assets" to enter the house and become the fifteenth and final HouseGuest. Canadians had only twenty-four hours to vote for one of the two assets to enter the house. During the first live eviction episode, it was revealed that Cory was voted in by the Canadian public, but she had to complete a secret mission before officially becoming a permanent houseguest. Her secret mission was to form three separate “Final Two” deals in her first twenty-four hours in the house. If she failed to complete the mission, she would be evicted immediately. She successfully completed her mission by securing three "Final Two" deals in the first twenty-four hours with Eddie, Kailyn, and Damien, making her a permanent HouseGuest. She was also given immunity for the rest of the week. Cory ultimately placed eighth in the season.

Secret Assassin

Throughout the season, Big Brother has been placing boxes of paperwork in the archive room. Among the boxes hid the "Secret Assassin" power which let one person anonymously nominate a third nominee for that week's eviction. On Day 44, Adam found a blacklight and a clue which told him to search boxes with the blacklight for a secret power. After much hunting, he found a keypad, and after he entered the numbers on the box into the keypad, he unlocked the power. On Day 45, he used it to nominate Cory.

Summary

On Day 1, fourteen HouseGuests entered the spy-themed "Big Brother Canada" House. As the first twist of the season, Damien was selected by Canada to enter the House first, by himself. He had the opportunity to locate a secret "Leon's Lounge" and watch the first two groups enter the House before entering with the last group. After everyone settled in, Arisa dropped another bombshell: the Power of Veto competition for the week would be voided, meaning the two nominees would automatically face the first eviction. She also revealed secrets about everyone publicly. All of the HouseGuests were then locked up for the Operation: Escape Head of Household competition. In this competition, HouseGuests were locked in separate chambers. In the first round, HouseGuests must untie themselves from their chair and use the materials inside the chamber to reach a set of keys to unlock their door. The first seven HouseGuests to unlock their door would move on to the second round. Adam, Kiera, Estefania, Kailyn, Anthony, Mark, and Maki advanced to the second round. For the second round, HouseGuests must use a spoon to dig a hole, crawl under the fence, and hit their button. The first HouseGuest to hit their button will be the first Head of Household of the season. Adam was the winner. On Day 2, Adam nominated Damien and Laura for eviction. On Day 6, Laura was evicted by a unanimous 11-0 vote. Immediately after the eviction, Arisa gave another announcement. Canada voted for either Cory or Holly to enter the House as a "secret asset". Cory was chosen to enter the House, but was also given a secret mission from Arisa. She must make three Final Two deals within 24 hours. If she succeeds, she will earn immunity for the week. If she fails, she will be immediately evicted from the House.

Following Laura's eviction and Cory's entrance, the HouseGuests were teed off in the Golf for It Head of Household competition. In this competition, HouseGuests must balance a golf ball on their over-sized club. If they dropped their ball at any time, they were eliminated. However, at random points throughout the competition, the first HouseGuest to hit their button would earn the right to try and hit their ball into the hole for the win. If they missed the shot, they would be eliminated. The last HouseGuest with their ball on their club, or the first HouseGuest to sink their ball into the hole, will be the new Head of Household. Dane was the winner after being the last one standing. As Head of Household, Dane had to select three HouseGuests to become the first Have-Nots of the season. Adam, Mark, and Samantha became Have-Nots for the week. Cory formed Final Two deals with Kailyn, Damien, and Eddie, thus completing her mission and earning safety for the week. Alliances began forming very quickly. Dane, Adam, Anthony, and Mark formed the "Pretty Boys" alliance; Samantha, Chelsea, Estefania, and Kiera joined the "Pretty Boys" to form "The Eight" alliance. On Day 7, Dane nominated Kyra and Maki for eviction, with Kyra as the target. During the player pick for the Veto competition, another twist was revealed. The Head of Household is not eligible to compete for the Power of Veto until only five HouseGuests remain. On Day 8, Kyra and Maki, as well as Adam, Anthony, and Chelsea, splashed in the On a Roll Power of Veto competition. In this competition, HouseGuests must fill their bucket with sap and walk across the river via the spinning logs. If they fall, they must try again. After they reach the other side, they must pour their bucket into their container. The first HouseGuest to fill their container with enough sap to remove their ball will win the Power of Veto. Adam was the winner. On Day 10, Adam decided not to use the Power of Veto. Despite originally being the pawn, Maki became a target after Anthony and Kyra told Adam that Maki was targeting him and after Maki told Dane he would target him. On Day 11, Karen and Kevin from Big Brother Canada 5 surprised the Have-Nots for a task. After watching a video featuring the two, the Have-Nots were asked a series of questions. If they could answer three questions correctly, they would win a "Wendy's" meal for the whole House. They passed their task and earned the meal. On Day 13, after Dane was the tie-breaker, Maki was evicted by a 6-5 vote.

Following Maki's eviction, the HouseGuests were trained in the Truth and Spies Head of Household competition. In this competition, HouseGuests faced off two at a time at the podium. They were asked a question about their training exercises that took place the day before. HouseGuests must determine whether the question is true or a lie. If they answer correctly, they will advance and eliminate their opponent. If they are incorrect, they will be eliminated and their opponent will advance. The HouseGuest who survived the match will then select the next two HouseGuests to face off. The last HouseGuest standing will be the new Head of Household. Chelsea was the winner. On Day 14, the HouseGuests got sloppy in the Slop and Slide Have-Not competition. For this competition, HouseGuests were divided into teams of three. In each of the first two rounds, one player from each team must slide down the slide into the slop and search for discs with a slop-inspired recipe. Once they find one, they must head over to the table and eat that dish. The first team in each round to eat all three dishes will be Haves for the week. The remaining three HouseGuests will be Have-Nots for the week. Anthony, Eddie, and Samantha became Have-Nots for the week. Chelsea aimed to send Kailyn out the door after Kailyn orchestrated a last-minute attempt to save Maki last week. On Day 14, Chelsea nominated Damien and Kiera for eviction, with the plan to backdoor Kailyn. Before the Power of Veto competition, the players spun a wheel with various numbers. The HouseGuest with the highest number will win an advantage in the Power of Veto competition. Samantha earned the advantage. On Day 15, Damien and Kiera, including Kyra, Samantha, and Cory, gamed in the Instant Bingo Power of Veto competition, sponsored by "OLG". In the first round of the competition, HouseGuests must scratch off their bingo card to reveal their numbers. They must then search the balls being blasted to find the corresponding numbers and place them in their card. The first two HouseGuests to black out their card will move on to the final round. Samantha's advantage gave her two spots already filled in. Kiera and Samantha moved on to the final round. In the final round, the two must attempt to solve a crossword relating to "Big Brother". The first HouseGuest to correctly solve the crossword will win the Power of Veto. Samantha was the winner. On Day 17, Samantha took Kiera off the block, and Chelsea named Kailyn as the replacement nominee. On Day 18, Damien received a clue to embark on a secret mission through the House. After following a series of clues, he entered Leon's Lounge for the opportunity to watch classified information on Mark and Samantha. On Day 20, Kailyn was evicted by a 10-0 vote.

Following Kailyn's eviction, the HouseGuests stuck it out in the Buzzkilled 2.0 Head of Household competition. In this competition, HouseGuests must wait for the buzzer to sound. Once it does, they must hit their button. Throughout the competition, Big Brother will make them offers to lure them away from their button, including pizza and Have cards to avoid being Have-Nots. The last HouseGuest to ring in for each round will be eliminated. The last HouseGuest standing will be the new Head of Household. Dane was the winner. Adam, Cory, and Damien became Have-Nots for the week. Distrust between the guys and the girls of "The Eight" caused paranoia within the alliance, and they began to turn on each other. On Day 21, Dane nominated Chelsea and Kyra for eviction. On Day 22, the nominees, joined by Mark, Samantha, and Cory, put it all on the line in the Comp Beast Hall of Fame Power of Veto competition. In this competition, HouseGuests competed head-to-head. In each match, they must put on their medal, crawl under their hurdles, and cross their balance beam. They must then toss five rings onto their pegs in order to complete one lap. The first HouseGuest to complete three laps will win the match and eliminate their opponent. The winner of the final race will win the Power of Veto. Cory was the winner. On Day 24, Cory decided not to use the Power of Veto. On Day 27, Chelsea was evicted by a 9-0 vote. Arisa then informed the HouseGuests of the Double Eviction. Immediately after, the HouseGuests recalled in the Before or After Head of Household competition. In this competition, HouseGuests were read a series of events that have taken place this season. They must determine whether the first event took place before or after the second event. An incorrect answer resulted in elimination. The last HouseGuest standing will be the new Head of Household. Adam was the winner. He immediately nominated Eddie and Kiera for eviction. Eddie and Kiera, accompanied by Anthony, Estefania, and Mark, then got mazed and confused in the Spaced Out Power of Veto competition. In this competition, HouseGuests must stand and lean on their disc in order to maneuver their ball through their maze. The first HouseGuest to move their ball through the maze to hit their button will win the Power of Veto. Kiera was the winner. At the Veto Meeting, Kiera took herself off the block, and Adam named Kyra as the replacement nominee. On Day 27, Eddie was evicted by an 8-0 vote.

Following Chelsea and Eddie's evictions, the HouseGuests surveyed the scene in the Eye Spy Head of Household competition. In this competition, HouseGuests had two minutes to run throughout the House to study a series of installations. After the two minutes, the HouseGuests were asked a series of questions about what they saw. Each correct answer earned them one point. The HouseGuest with the most points will be the new Head of Household. Samantha was the winner. As a reward for winning Head of Household, Samantha earned the opportunity to warch an exclusive episode from "Adult Swim" with a HouseGuest of her choice. She chose Adam to join her. She was also responsible for choosing the three Have-Nots for the week and chose Dane, Estefania, and Kiera. Arisa surprised the HouseGuests by revealing the existence of a secret room. After finding the secret room, the HouseGuests discovered the Blood Veto. The next morning, the HouseGuests found the Blood Veto missing. After Samantha was sequestered in the Head of Household room, everyone else was presented with a dilemma. They must decide unanimously who should receive the Blood Veto, despite not knowing how it works. This person will be safe for the week and is ineligible to play in the Power of Veto competition. Kyra received the Blood Veto. On Day 28, Samantha nominated Kiera and Mark for eviction. On Day 29, Kiera, Mark, Damien, Estefania, and Adam balanced in the Balance of Power Power of Veto competition. In this competition, HouseGuests will place one ball on their pole and complete one lap on the beam. Each lap, they will add another ball to their pole, making it more difficult to balance. If a ball drops, they may continue, but may only add one ball per trip. If they fall off their beam, they must completely start over. The first HouseGuest to return to the platform with 25 balls will win the Power of Veto. Adam was the winner. On Day 30, Canada voted for Kiera to receive a one night's sleep on a real bed in the Have-Not room. On Day 31, Adam decided not to use the Power of Veto. Immediately after the Veto Meeting, Kyra learned the power of the Blood Veto. After the live eviction vote, Kyra has the power to veto the House's decision and automatically evict the other nominee if they decide to do so. They may only use the Blood Veto at the upcoming eviction, and must keep the power a secret from the others. On Day 34, Kiera was evicted by a 5-1 vote, with Estefania voting to evict Mark. Arisa revealed the power of the Blood Veto to the House, but Kyra decided not to use the Blood Veto and cemented Kiera's eviction.

Following Kiera's eviction, the HouseGuests were gutted in the Pipe Dream Head of Household competition. In this competition, HouseGuests must hang onto their pipe for as long as they can. If they fall off their pipe, they will be eliminated. The last HouseGuest standing will be the new Head of Household. Cory was the winner. For being the first three HouseGuests to fall in the Head of Household competition, Anthony, Kyra, and Mark became Have-Nots for the week. Definite cracks formed within the "Pretty Boys" alliance after Adam got fed up with the others wanting to target Samantha. On Day 35, Cory nominated Dane and Estefania for eviction. On Day 36, Dane and Estefania, plus Kyra, Samantha, and Mark, rolled in the Breaking Records Power of Veto competition. In this competition, HouseGuests must roll their ball along the record and catch it on the other side. Each time they roll and catch their ball, they will earn one point. However, if they drop their ball, their counter will drop to zero. The first HouseGuest to reach 300 points will win the Power of Veto. Dane was the winner. On Day 38, Dane took himself off the block, and Cory named Samantha as the replacement nominee. On Day 41, Samantha was evicted by a 5-1 vote, with Adam voting to evict Estefania.

He secretly nominated Cory for eviction. On Day 48, Cory was evicted by a 3-1-0 vote, with Anthony voting to evict Estefania. She became the second member of the jury.

Following Cory's eviction, the HouseGuests delivered in the Ship 'til You Drop Head of Household competition. In this competition, HouseGuests must collect the boxes rolling down the conveyor belt and use their body to press them against the wall. As the competition continues, their stack will get longer and more difficult to hold.

HouseGuests can choose to accept the temptation by adding it to their stack. If a HouseGuest drops a box, they will be eliminated. The last HouseGuest standing will be the new Head of Household.

The HouseGuest with the most points will be the new Head of Household. Kyra was the winner. On Day 56, Big Brother gave the HouseGuests a special task. They were given thirty minutes to study the Archive Room. They would then be given a quiz about items in the room. If they fail the quiz, the whole House will be Have-Nots for the rest of the season. The HouseGuests failed the quiz, but Big Brother revealed it was all a prank, and the Have-Not Room was closed for the season. On Day 56, Kyra nominated Adam and Dane for eviction. On Day 57, the HouseGuests were pinned in the Jewel Heist Power of Veto competition. In this competition, HouseGuests will each stand on a wall with jewel pegs. They must attempt to remove as many pegs as possible in order to earn points. Each green jewel is worth one point, each blue jewel is worth two points, and each red jewel is worth three points.

If they fall off the wall, their score will be locked in. The HouseGuest who steals the highest total value in jewels will win the Power of Veto. Adam was the winner. On Day 58, the HouseGuests were locked in "Leon's Lounge", and were surprised to see their loved ones enter the House.

On Day 59, Adam took himself off the block, and Kyra named Mark as the replacement nominee. Despite originally being the target, Dane's campaigning began to flip Anthony and Kyra's minds in wanting to keep Dane, in hopes of using him to get rid of Adam next week.

Following Mark's eviction, the HouseGuests headed to the Mainframe for the Name That Mission Head of Household competition.

Reception

Compared to the previous seasons, Big Brother Canada 7 received mixed to negative reviews from both fans and critics of the show, with most labelling it as the worst season in the show's history. The main criticism includes the lack of strategy, gameplay, and entertainment with only one alliance dominating the season. However, the gameplay of Dane Rupert, Anthony Douglas and Adam Pike were praised, with some considered them as three of the ten best players in Big Brother Canada history, with Rupert being called as the greatest in the show's history by some and called as one of the greatest winners in BBCan's history.

Justin Carriero of The Young Folks called Big Brother Canada 7 the most lackluster season of Big Brother Canada. Carriero noted that the season had a great setup to be an amazing season; however the Pretty Boys alliance, made up of Adam Pike, Anthony Douglas, Dane Rupert, and Mark Drelich, which ran the entire season and controlled every eviction vote, made the season repetitive and boring. He also added that many of the other HouseGuests were not strategic and had a lack of gameplay. In his conclusion, he stated, "Big Brother Canada 7 started with fire before flickering out into smoke by the season's end."
