42. Big Brother 23 - Week 9 - Considerate Claire Commiserates Commemoratively

42. Big Brother 23 - Week 9 - Considerate Claire Commiserates Commemoratively

Kelly and I basically talk about 3 out the four people that are gone and probably will be gone by end of week 10! Happy for the Cookout, but sad for some of my favorite members of the group!!! Hopefully a miracle will enter into the BB23 House!

41. Big Brother 23 - Week 8 - Sarah Somberly Sails to the Sidelines!

41. Big Brother 23 - Week 8 - Sarah Somberly Sails to the Sidelines!

Sarah Beth’s eviction was pretty inevitable this week. The Cookout members are already thinking about which of their alliance-mates should get ousted first so they can reach Final Six. Will it be Claire? Will it be Alyssa!? Still hard to tell, and there is a double on the way!!

40. Big Brother 23 - Week 7 - Don't Defer Defense Derek!!!

40. Big Brother 23 - Week 7 - Don't Defer Defense Derek!!!

Head of Household Sarah Beth had been targeting Derek X all week. It was a looming feeling for us as viewers, but I think we all still had hope. The Cookout members didn't actually want to keep Derek X around... but a flip wasn't out of the realm of possibilities. Still a good week to watch, even if it is sad.

39. Big Brother 23 - Week 6 - Blockstar Britini Boot!?

39. Big Brother 23 - Week 6 - Blockstar Britini Boot!?

We come back following Christian's eviction, which gave us the first true Big Brother 23 backdoor of the season. So the Cookout makes one step closer towards total victory, but after Kyland snagged Head of Household in a head-to-head knockout comp, he upsets some of his own alliance, which once again makes the group put their personal differences aside for the sake of the cause.

38. Big Brother 23 - Week 5 - Derek Dares Defy Deity!

38. Big Brother 23 - Week 5 - Derek Dares Defy Deity!

Derek X has outgoing HOH Christian, in his sights! Perhaps as a backdoor for he’d be too powerful a foe in the Power of Veto competition. Britini and Sarah Beth may be pawns now... but will one of them become a target!? Listen to Kelly and Richard react to the week at hand on BB23!

Aug 18, 202130:47
37. Big Brother 23 - Week 4 - Christian's Comp Crowns!

37. Big Brother 23 - Week 4 - Christian's Comp Crowns!

We start the week with a lot of the house upset as they hoped to target someone from Christian’s team this week. Now Christian, Alyssa, Xavier, and Sarah Beth are all automatically safe. Christian will no doubt be a target next week unless someone from his team wins HOH. He already has three competition wins under his belt and is involved in a not-so-secret showmance. Kelly and Richard react to it all and will be covering week 5 soon!

36. Big Brother 23 - Week 3 - Brent's Biggest Blindside!

36. Big Brother 23 - Week 3 - Brent's Biggest Blindside!

Guest Host Kelly Tolley and I Talk about Brent's final days in BB23! I can't say it better that Entertainment Weekly, "Usually, straightforward weeks of Big Brother are boring. The show usually has to edit the footage in a way to create more intrigue than there actually is, trying to keep us engaged when we, and everyone in the house, already know who's going home. There's usually a lack of drama. This week is different. This week, egotistical Brent is so confident in his game that he thinks there's no way he's going home. Not only is he not worried, but he also keeps telling people that this vote will be 'the biggest blindside of all time.' Little does he know he's the one about to be blindsided, not the HOH Xavier."

35. Big Brother 23 - Week 2 - Kill that Chaos!

35. Big Brother 23 - Week 2 - Kill that Chaos!

Ricard and I dive into Kyland's HOH week! It has been pretty straightforward since he had a plan since the beginning, so there's been no reason to deviate from it. This week is definately Frenchie vs. the rest of the house (and the at home viewers). Frenchie as the former HOH, had a gameplay that was too erratic and intense. Good gameplay is still yet to come! Let us know what you think!

34. Big Brother 23 - Week 1 - The Kiss of "French"

34. Big Brother 23 - Week 1 - The Kiss of "French"

What can we say more than this quote from OnlineBigBrother.com: "A solid start to a season. On one hand, Frenchie is insufferable on so many levels on the other hand he gave us plenty of crazy to have fun with. What would this week be like if Frenchie wasn’t HOH? I’ll put it this way Frenchie stayed up until 5 am every night and talked so much he lost his voice for 3 days. He had 5 different targets and made half a dozen alliances hence the nickname for the week: Frenchie the glue clown." That is precisely what this full first week was all about! Enjoy!

33. Big Brother 23 - Week 0 - Do You Feel Lucky!?

33. Big Brother 23 - Week 0 - Do You Feel Lucky!?

Big Brother is Back Baby! The season premiered on July 7, 2021, with a live move-in aired on CBS in the US and on Global in Canada! To reset the logistics: this show chronicles a group of contestants (known as HouseGuests) living together while being constantly filmed and having no communication with the outside world as they compete to be the last HouseGuest remaining. Each week, the HouseGuests compete in challenges for power and safety before voting each other out of the house. When only two HouseGuests remain, a Jury of previously evicted Houseguests will decide which finalist will win the grand prize of $750,000 (an increase of $250,000 from past editions of the show). Other fun new twists include the Team Twist which has 4 teams competing against each other for safety!!! Ricard and I break it all down while Shannon and Anna message in their "hot" takes!!!

32. BBCan Season 9 - Week 10 - Finale Week! This is it!

The week that all of us “Big Brother Canada” fans have been waiting for has finally arrived! We start with the final 4 becoming the final 3 and end it all in an exciting two-hour finale! Of course there is a retrospective on the season included with many scenes we've seen before, albeit presented in a more fun way then the US BB seasons ever show. We talk about the three-part HOH competition, beginning with a disc-stacking hover-board challenge!? It is all pretty exciting!

31. BBCan Season 9 - Week 9 - Down to Final Four... Again!

AFTER almost 5 days of waiting... BBCAN finally gave us some answers! It started with the much-anticipated battle between Jedson and Tera for their spot back in the game. Then the episode revealed the new Head of Household with a Wheel of Fortune type betting competition. Even after a long week, the episodes keep deciding to end in suspense, causing us to have no idea what is really going to happen!? BUT, stay tuned! Just one more week to go!?!

30. BBCan Season 9 - Week 8 - Is it Really a "Fake" Double!?

30. BBCan Season 9 - Week 8 - Is it Really a "Fake" Double!?

Shannon and I cover this week’s episodes of “Big Brother Canada” served up one epic surprise for the houseguests: a fake double eviction, which would send two houseguest facing off in a head-to-head challenge, with the loser heading to the jury while the winner returns to the game. Inexplicably we had time for a check-in with the jury members — at a luxurious wilderness cottage, no less — and some emotional conversations happened too! What a week!?

29. BBCan Season 9 - Week 7 - Or We Could... Flip Flop!?

In a week where Kiefer feels completely betrayed by Jedson, Tychon, and Beth and becomes a scorned person in this game of Big Brother... What can he do!? Throw everyone’s game under the bus... Maybe. Everyone is emotional after this week’s Power of Veto Ceremony, especially Kiefer and Jedson. Richard and Shannon also have emotions!!!

27. BBCan Season 9 - Week 5 - Don't Target "The Boys"

This was a fascinating Big Brother Canada 9 week to watch, because we really didn't know what was going on! The Invisible HOH held all the power this week, and the other houseguests weren't sure who it was. Shannon and Richard discuss the moves and give their hot takes! Was it a good HOH run!? Is the new Visible HOH going to make some big moves!? Let's discuss!

22. BBCan Season 1 - Week 10 - Who is the REAL Winner!?

What a crazy and memorable first ever season of Big Brother Canada!? The Jury had a LOT of time to think of intelligent game related questions that can impact who they vote for. Did the questioning turn into a self-aggrandizing showcase that had nothing to do with the game..? Maybe. We have a lot to talk about to close our Season 2!

18. BBCan Season 1 - Week 6 - Evil, Dead, and Lost in the Sticks

Following Suzette's eviction, Topaz won the "Before or After" Head of Household competition. It was at that point we all learned that she only had five minutes to nominate two House Guests for eviction. This might be, "The Ultimate Betrayal." Not only this, but this week we also see the "Build a Demon" competition hosted by Jillian; this competition was sponsored by the then-upcoming film Evil Dead (2013)... and all we have to say is, "This is a movie that came out!?"

The first season of Big Brother Canada began airing on the 27th February of 2013.
