Big Brother Canada

[Oling_Roachinen]

Not a fan of the cast so far, but I think I'm going to end up rooting for Peter. He seems like he has the attitude of a grumpy old man, but is going to play the game.

That host makes me want to stab my own eye out with a fork. Get rid of the host and show will do okay.

If it's only on slice moving forward, I've already watched the last episode.

Don't mind the grumpy blogger.

You mean the dood with the glasses who looks like a skinny Clark Kent? Ya, I like him too.

I also like the guy who is a twin. Most of the ladies are quite attractive save the one that answered the phone and that annoying blonde from the Mac.

The extremley flamboyant gay guy is REALLY annoying. Even the other gay guy is annoyed by him. And ya, that host is also really annoying. Hate how she tried to pump things up. Take a cue from Julie and chill out a bit.

Love the house, they did a good job with it. One thing I do wonder about though, how well are they going to cope with basically being inside for 2.5 months? I think that will start to have an affect on some of them.

And I think I've lost my g/f for the next 2.5 months. The live camera feeds are free 24/7.

Hate the host....what is it with Canadian versions of shows being incapable of finding decent hosts (ie. SYTYCD Cda, Top Chef Cda, CNTM, BBCC) - give me someone like Julie Chen over this chick any day!

As for the cast, they had a bit more diversity than I expected to see - I liked the NS Farm Boy & the Social Scientist guy from BC that was all about his abs.

The girls all seem pretty awful at this point.

I am intrigued by the house - there's no real outdoor space....they have a backyard & hot tub area but it's all indoors. Not sure I could handle 77 days without fresh air/sunshine.

Also surprised by the free live feeds....checked those out last night and while they were boring, it was nice to have the option to watch.

Exactly...and I don't know. It's like watching the Canadian New Years shows, some loser trying to generate artificial excitement and usually fails miserably. We truly do suck at TV. I though that female host of ET Canada was going to be the host. A much better choice IMO.

Was not impressed at all with the premiere. The Emotion felt more manufactured than any big brother I've seen. The Host is truly terrible. Production sucked. For the first three minutes of the show the theme music droned out the hosts voice. Sound quality was crap until I switched it to slice. I like the Teacher from Nova Scotia, she is attractive.

One thing this version of Big Brother has over the american version I think is the house itself. Very nice.

I was kind of hoping the hot host from ET Canada Cheryl Hickey would host this show, should've been anyways. Julie Chen set the bar too high lol.

Who should i pick in our BB Canada pool at work?

[D to the iddy]

I love Big Brother and don't get annoyed at these shows very easily but the host is ruining the show for me. The only thing I can look forward to is that she'll only be on the live eviction shows. Her reactions to each of the votes was almost embarrassing.

This season could be interesting. It seems like they've got some people who will eff some stuff up if they get the chance which is always good for television.

[Mass_nerder]

Anyone know who got kicked off tonight?

[SebC]

Not HD. Won't watch.

[Minnie]

Just watching it now. Cannot stand that chick from East Van that's HOH right now - Suzette. Blech. I wish she was gone already.

[Wise Gamble]

Rather wait for the BB US version....this was awful.

[Minnie]

Yeah, not being in HD sucks and the show is pretty lame. I don't know if I will keep watching.

[Hells Bells]

I think its decent so far... certainly no worse than the US version has been the last few years.

I'd say the two from NS are my favorites so far... Jillian and Emmett.

As for looks... Jillian and Topaz

On a related note I watched some of the BB After Dark and some of the guests (the Albertans) were talking about the Cadillac Ranch dance and dancing, etc. After the 20th time they said "Cadillac Ranch" I turned it off.

Of all the Albertans you get the redneck Edmontonians/Fort Mac. wtf

[Oling_Roachinen]

I watched a little bit of After Dark the other night as well. And I'm going to give a little credit to the casters. Like I said, I'm not entirely thrilled by the players but I love the fact that a good majority of them seem to be true Big Brother fans. I'll take person I don't really like who know how to play the game over someone who was hired through an agency any day of the week.

I liked Peter initially, loved his expressions when that girl from Calgary was acting like being handcuffed to him was the worst thing ever. I hated AJ from the first episode, just came off as really sleazy, but I changed my opinion watching him in After Dark, he seems to have a good head for a game like this. And Aneal, wont go so far as to say I'm a fan of his, but I'll give him credit for the glitter.

The women are, however, super meh when it comes to anything other than looks so far.

And anyone else getting reminded of Cammalleri from Tom? Might be the mannerisms with how he talks but for some reason he reminds me of him.

Maybe an east coaster to get voted out in the first week...

Its all about the drama people...

Boy I was pretty close...

[Stay Golden]

The host is terrible, i can see the ratings tumble more each week.
1 and done season.

This precisely, what year is it Shaw? Slice has no HD channel will ensure this will fail.

You can take your 480i programming and jam it.
