I started watching Big Brother Canada during season 4 (shoutout to ASAP Science) and I was hooked ever since! In my opinion, the BBCAN seasons are better than some of the recent BBUS seasons (and I'm American). There's more diversity in the casting, they are there to play the game, their production value is great, and they have some fun in the house with their secret missions. Also, there have been several memorable moments and iconic houseguests throughout the six seasons.
However, one thing that distinguishes BBCAN from BBUS is their triple evictions, which are notorious for screwing people over, along with Canada's save. In addition to that, I hear the live feeds aren't good and they often don't work. They're also free, so that explains that. BBCAN can never 100% fully match up to BBUS considering BBUS has been around a lot longer.
Overall, Big Brother Canada is simply amazing! I highly recommend it to any fans of the American version. They may have the same format, but the Canadians manage to make it their own.

Great show!!! Offers a good mix of the US and UK versions.
Houses, comps and themes are all so well done year after year.
I'm excited to see what's in store for season 7.
Also Arisa Cox is a fantastic host.

The US version is so scripted and they re-hash the old same games, it's boring. The Canadian version (I'm guessing thanks to their many sponsors) has a much bigger budget, bigger house, bigger games and set designs. But with Season 11, it's starting to feel scripted as well, especially with them cutting the live feeds and any live moments on the show are cut so short compared to the US version. I also feel how there's not enough non-physical challenges, which gives the certain physical athletes more of an advantage over the others.
Would love if they modernized their theme song, it feels kinda dated now. They have better modern music during the show, so not sure why the theme song itself is so dated.
Also would like to see the contestants interacting with Arisa more during the live shows. It feels so rushed when they get evicted and barely anything is discussed.

The did not pick people from like 75% of the provinces just found the mentally unstable ones from GTA n i live in GTA you have to look hard to find them still. You would think Canada is some big gay bar i guess this show doesnt represent the Canada i live in thats for sure
They say that the Canadian are nice, polite, and friendly Eh. Dam was I wrong. This Canadian version makes the US original look like child's play. This reality show is the most cut throat, nerve racking, entertainment I have ever enjoyed. I laughed and cried, at times cursed a few. In the end it was better than a two way. There was more than once that I held my breath and prayed.with fingers crossed. Certainly deserves an award. Brilliant twist and turns at every minute certainly a calculated decision in the unusual house guests chosen. Marsha the Moose was definitely a pet I want to take home. Love the voice. Canada has certainly taken off and no doubt it will stay air borne for awhile.

- TriviaA protocol prevents the houseguests from getting any information from the outside world. This was, of course, broken in Season 20 when the COVID-19 pandemic was officially declared active in Canada. The same happened to the Big Brother Brasil (2002) cast.
