Big Brother Canada 9 confirmed - begins March 3rd
- Thread starter Brekkie
- Start date
Without spoilers, I’m curious to know how this season is holding up so far in comparison to the last two?
It's pretty decent - really benefitting from not having a big alliance dominating and there are numerous obvious duos in the game, with no solid alliance of more than 4 people. It could probably do with power swinging in the other direction for a week or two, but on the whole it's a good cast and been entertaining enough, but not really had it's big defining moment yet. Probably the best North American season since BB20 USA in 2018 IMO.
that was good,especially since the HOH was clever enough to put themselves on slop as well ,although putting the nominees on slop too was diabolical
It didn't come across in the edit but everyone knew who it was from the moment she did that really. She completely overplayed her part.
In theory though it was a good move to try and play it as if you're pinning it on someone else and also not to go for the obvious targets, leaving them in for when you're not immune the following week.
I do think though it would have worked better as a week one twist when nobody really knows where anyone stands. TBH though it fell a bit flat - it needed the jeopardy of there being a consequence to the HoH being found out.

do you think current HOH will backdoor her this week?
Yes - that's the plan anyway.
Double eviction this week - probably predictable as they often do them the first week of jury. BB Canada always flies by running for just 9-10 weeks, but that is it's advantage. Glad they scaled back slightly this year to 14 contestants too - think that means this will be the only double eviction, with the "surprise" eviction at the same point as it is every year in the final week.

I finally managed to finish my binge of seasons 1 through 8 (and ohh man, how difficult it was to get through those last two... especially season 7... oh season 7...).
For the most part I have thoroughly enjoyed BBCA but it’s definitely lost its sheen recently. I still think it’s one of the best currently running versions of the show though. There’s also a lot that BBAU could learn from this version, that’s for sure.
But anyway, I’m still contemplating whether I should play catch-up with season 9 or wait it out. Part of me would like to at least be able to watch the finale in real-time as one of the things I liked least about watching the show in retrospect is already knowing the winner (I had accidentally spoiled 4 of the 7 winners prior to watching). But in saying that, I’m a little BB fatigued at the moment so we’ll see, lol.

I’d say we’re far enough in to the series that you’d get a good binge going before you’re caught up and then just binge the week when you have a few hours on a day off.
Well you've 4 weeks to catch up - only takes a couple of hours to watch each week and just 10 weeks in a BBCan season.
It has certainly lost it's shine in recent years - I think BB5 was the last great season. I rewatched BB1-3 last year and really enjoyed them but I think the 5th is the only other one I might rewatch.
For me the 6th season missed so many opportunities with the Heaven and Hell twist had they run with it beyond a week. They could have really bought the Rich/Poor format used so widely internationally and really ran with it in the North American format, but just like the Teams this year they dropped it at the first opportunity. It has somewhat lost it's nerve in recent years - in the first few years they were willing to try things the US version never would and were all the better for it but they've become so much more risk averse lately.

Okay, so season 9 has had some of the best gameplay in years. Finally.
As much as I’ve enjoyed Victoria for most of the season, she totally deserved that blindside after not taking a shot at the boys last week.

Nooo!
Trust the fake double eviction to happen in the week when the Isosceles alliance is most likely to be broken up.
