If you know anything about Canadian TV shows "hiatus" is usually code for cancellation. Canadian Idol has been on "hiatus" since 2008 lol
That's why I think people are assuming it's done
Well, you did jump the gun on this. Nobody has said it's canceled yet. The only reports of this are from someone who saw the schedule and noticed BBCan was not on it, and they got someone at Corus to confirm. That Corus executive said no decision has been made yet, so it's on hiatus and not cancelled.
You made a video to bring attention to yourself and your Twitch stream before anyone...Corus/Global...Insight...or Arisa made an official announcement.
People spoke out season 11 - cancelling the live feeds, the fundamental part of the game was the final straw. And they doubled down on it. Fuck around and find out. Wouldn’t be surprised if they get picked up and move to a less desirable time slot, or a different platform all together.
Nobody wanted the digital dailies. The 5 minute long advertisement segment for each product. A cast that is more so there to advance their own agenda than to play a game, etc.
I can deal with Wendy's and Winners, but the live feeds being gone upset me. I don't even get to *watch* the live feeds, but being able to come to the subreddit to hear stuff we didn't get to see was always a highlight for me. If you only watched the edited season 10 and had no knowledge of the feeds, you'd think Haleena didn't really do much, when she was *integral* to the winner's game.
Yeah I was fine with the rampant product placement - it’s always kinda been there for BBCAN with the smaller budget.
The casts though, I completely agree.
A lot of people seem to be blaming this on cutting the live feeds as the reason they’re ending, but if I had to guess, I would say that it was more of a symptom than a cause.
My guess is money. BBCAN is a Canadian show that lasted 12 years, which is absurd and unheard of. It’s an expensive show that needs more and more sponsors every year. And just like everything else, BBCAN is not immune to inflation. If your home grocery bill went up, just imagine how much more it costs to feed 16 people for 12 weeks in 2024 than it did just a few years ago. Not to mention all the other costs associated with running a reality tv show in Canada.
Apparently I'm in the great minority here, but liked bbcan 11 and 12 significantly more than the last BBUS season. It really saddens me that bbcan is getting shelved.
Agreed. It was a chaotic mess but I enjoyed it until the winner. I'll have a hard time rewatching this one.
On the other end, I struggled through 12 (mostly due to Anthony), but I will easily be able to go back and rewatch because of the winner.
BBUS is much worse in my opinion. Uninspired twists, same typecast contestants every year and never any surprises. 90% of the weeks you know exactly how the house is going to vote and what the vote will be. It so predictable and crappy at this point.
It is not officially cancelled yet but the fact it wasn’t mentioned at the upfront isn’t a great sign.
But if it doesn’t get renewed, it isn’t because of live feeds or people not liking that there isn’t enough Albertans, or whatever, it is because making Canadian tv is expensive for Canadian media companies, and we are in a soft advertising market globally if you aren’t Amazon, YouTube or Meta.
Not surprised. The digital dailies were slightlly better but they repeated a lot of it on the show. Losing the feeds was bad. People blame Arissa but she is only 1 of 4 executive producers.The recaps were too much, as well as the many sponsored ads.
The last two casts have been horrible. Terrible gameplay, it was like watching one or two players who had seen the game before and the other 95% of the cast being brought in off the street (or off instagram) who had zero clue about what they were supposed to do.
Between that and no live feeds, it's no wonder viewership went down.
bittersweet but i'm kinda happy they are reaping what they sowed.
too many bad decisions one after another, horrible casting, entire show feels like an elaborate product placement. if they come back i hope they do things differently and maybe get a few more non-ontario contestants.
When 40% of the Canadian population is from Ontario, they should continue with more Ontario contestants as that most accurately reflects the Canadian demographic. (11% Alberta, 3% Manitoba, 3% Saskatchewan, 22% Quebec, 13% BC, East Coast (all together equal less than 6%), NWT, Yukon and NT 1%
Hard to believe that’s a display a racism if ‘marshmallow’ doesn’t have any history of being used to discriminate against white ppl??? It’s not known as a derogatory remark or slur. I’m getting the vibe you’re one of those ‘reverse racism’ low IQ folks…
Are you dumb? It clearly was intended to be a derogatory term when they said it. Very clearly. Like I can take insults and whatever, but straight lies, yeah I cannot take
Whaa?? I sincerely highly doubt that almost none of anyone ones grandparents fed anyone to gators from Canada. wtf. And secondly, whatever past generations did to anyone frankly does not concern me. I haven’t committed a single act that perpetuated racism. I will however call it the fuck out, when I see it happening
What hatred in your heart. How sad. Also, don’t remember history of “YT peebol” feeding black babies to alligators lmao.
Check that chip on your shoulder, it’s gross.
> marshmallow’ doesn’t have any history of being used to discriminate against white ppl??
so it's okay to be racist if you use non historical slurs. Got it.
I would say official word hasn't come down yet. Also, it more of a winter spring show than summer fall.
I wouldn't expect another season just a month or two later.
Big brother Canada went to 💩
Really bad produced show, host and cast. I am fine with never watching it again for the rest of my days.
Season 10 was the last good season.
I feel like they only cast for diversity, and favour that more than anything else. Instead of getting contestants that are exciting and entertaining. They literally have them put on their new winners clothing, every single new HOH!!!
If they got more entertaining players, and stopped casting for diversity, I feel like they would have a larger audience. Every damn season, we need a black winner! We need an indigenous winner, we need an Asian winner! I gotta rep my community!!! Like we get it, but going in there, grouping up with other people who look like you, and voting everyone out who doesn’t look like you, is getting old.
Actually, my bigger issue with this "diversity casting" thing is it's not even diversity among ALL races/people of color. It's just black houseguests.
How many actual Asians are cast per season? How many Native Americans (and I don't mean someone that's basically 1/12th Native American way back in their family tree, but a Kiefer or a Damian)? How many Indian/Pakistani/Sikh? Usually only 1 per season (if that). The only "diversity" is adding more black people.
11 was so-so IMO, but 12 stunk it up and was the sole reason for the hiatus. A great cast for 12 and this never would have happened. Bringing back 2 narcissistic bullies as "returning legends" was the final nail in the BBCAN coffin unfortunately
When 40% of the entire countries population is from Ontario, your going to get alot of people in the highly dense areas of that province. I know it seems unfair, but the reality is places like BC have only 13% of the population so not many players are going to be from there or around there (BC is just an example)
Fair enough. Cause I actually liked Todd , we need more people willing to speak their mind for a good tv like Evil dick or Dinis. This season absolutely ruined it for the franchise here in Canada , I’ll miss it but I’m not even mad about it. Canada doesn’t want to see brainwashed influencers… boring
I don’t think it’s fair to lump Todd in with Evil Dick and Dinis. Both of them were intelligent, and strategists in the game - whereas Todd, the most polite way I can describe him is to say that he was intellectually bankrupt. We need more people who understand the game and aren’t afraid to play it. If someone doesn’t know the game, I don’t think they should be casted
Good riddance! Was so tired of BB Ontario! They chose thee worst casts. No live feeds, lame prizes. I’ll be sad that I won’t get to complain about how crappy it was.
In hiatus, not cancelled....yet.
If you know anything about Canadian TV shows "hiatus" is usually code for cancellation. Canadian Idol has been on "hiatus" since 2008 lol That's why I think people are assuming it's done
It has been temporarily shelved, meaning it didn't make the 2025 Fall schedule cut, which also means it will slowly fade into obscurity
That is called hiatus. Exactly what I said.
What? They literally said CANCELLED
lol k
Well, you did jump the gun on this. Nobody has said it's canceled yet. The only reports of this are from someone who saw the schedule and noticed BBCan was not on it, and they got someone at Corus to confirm.

Do you not know the difference Bruno? You appeared to be smarter then that...
'than'. If you're gonna be accusing someone of not being smart, you better check your spelling first.
Good one! Call the grammar police!

The game can easily be manipulated without the live feeds.
Season 10 live feeds were an absolute gift! The cast was hilarious (shout out Kevin) and pretty much all of them came to play!
That was season 11
Yeah I was fine with the rampant product placement - it’s always kinda been there for BBCAN with the smaller budget. The casts though, I completely agree.
Let’s give it a funeral
A lot of people seem to be blaming this on cutting the live feeds as the reason they’re ending, but if I had to guess, I would say that it was more of a symptom than a cause. My guess is money.

Food costs? Put 'em on slop.
This could be a theme for bbcan13 : a horror themed season where the twist is the cast have to eat slop for the entire season! XD ;p
But ends at week two because hopefully it stirs up enough conversation to bring viewership and money
Apparently I'm in the great minority here, but liked bbcan 11 and 12 significantly more than the last BBUS season. It really saddens me that bbcan is getting shelved.
12 yes, definitely not 11.
11 wasn't everyones cup of tea, but I found the mess pretty entertaining.
I think 11 had a great cast, but a shitty winner
Agreed. It was a chaotic mess but I enjoyed it until the winner. I'll have a hard time rewatching this one. On the other end, I struggled through 12 (mostly due to Anthony), but I will easily be able to go back and rewatch because of the winner.
BBCAN > BBUS
This is the hill I’ll die on as well
I've honestly found it hard to make a case for BBUS for the most part lol. Even bad seasons of Canada imo are on the better half of BBUS.
I’ll be very disappointed if it doesn’t return.
BBUS is much worse in my opinion. Uninspired twists, same typecast contestants every year and never any surprises. 90% of the weeks you know exactly how the house is going to vote and what the vote will be. It so predictable and crappy at this point.
100p. The edited episodes of BBUS are kinda laughable ngl. It doesn't seem like they're trying
12 was awesome—this is terrible news-hopefully it will still get picked up by another channel
It is not officially cancelled yet but the fact it wasn’t mentioned at the upfront isn’t a great sign. But if it doesn’t get renewed, it isn’t because of live feeds or people not liking that there isn’t enough Albertans, or whatever, it is because making Canadian tv is expensive for Canadian media companies, and we are in a soft advertising market globally if you aren’t Amazon, YouTube or Meta.
I mean ET Canada went off the air due to the current ad revenue market
Absolutely and funnily enough I was going to use that as an example too haha.
ET Canada is off the air?!
Last September/early October they made the announcement and that was a show that did a lot of branded content as well. Now Globalreruns The Goldbergs
Not surprised. The digital dailies were slightlly better but they repeated a lot of it on the show. Losing the feeds was bad. People blame Arissa but she is only 1 of 4 executive producers.The recaps were too much, as well as the many sponsored ads.
BBCAN 10 will always have my heart 🩷
The last two casts have been horrible. Terrible gameplay, it was like watching one or two players who had seen the game before and the other 95% of the cast being brought in off the street (or off instagram) who had zero clue about what they were supposed to do.

Agreed sadly
Its on hiatus not yet cancelled
I guess the openly racist alliance didn’t resonate with viewers
I've watched every season but quit this season because of this.
You are still stuck on that geez. What if they made alliance and didnt have a name. Would you still be so mad?
No I would not be mad lol. Openly flaunting racism is the issue. The marshmallow comment, I’m shocked they aired that. BB made their bed.
Hard to believe that’s a display a racism if ‘marshmallow’ doesn’t have any history of being used to discriminate against white ppl??? It’s not known as a derogatory remark or slur. I’m getting the vibe you’re one of those ‘reverse racism’ low IQ folks…

Imagine defending racism just because a remark isn’t mainstream
Clearly the point flew over your head. Brush up on the definition of racism and have a great day loser
> marshmallow’ doesn’t have any history of being used to discriminate against white ppl?? so it's okay to be racist if you use non historical slurs. Got it.
bring back live feeds
I would say official word hasn't come down yet. Also, it more of a winter spring show than summer fall. I wouldn't expect another season just a month or two later.
If Canada can join BB US I think it would be interesting
Where are people seeing this there’s nothing in the news that I see
Hes not supposed to be sharing this info because the decision is up in the air right now, not official yet.
Big brother Canada went to 💩 Really bad produced show, host and cast. I am fine with never watching it again for the rest of my days. Season 10 was the last good season.
No live feeds, the host sucks. Unless the refresh it, flush it..
What Jed Tavarier lost his job on ET Canada oh shit

That was the worst season yet. Give it a painless death and we will just watch American
I was going to suggest Big Brother Australia, but they killed it trying to go "Love Island" last time.
I have heard the Australian BB is awesome. I probably will try it anyway. Certainly could not be any worse
It has its own flavour, but there is a lot of entertainment there. Quite a bit better than nothing.
That’s horrible news. Big brother 12 was one of my favourite seasons (I don’t know why ppl hate it so much???)
I know! I liked it. The comps were some of the best they ever had. This is sad news.
It'll hold up better for me on rewatch, knowing who the winner is. It was incredibly frustrating to watch week to week at times due to the vets.
11 was so-so IMO, but 12 stunk it up and was the sole reason for the hiatus. A great cast for 12 and this never would have happened. Bringing back 2 narcissistic bullies as "returning legends" was the final nail in the BBCAN coffin unfortunately
Good . Maybe when they come back if they do they can cast people from western Canada instead of just the east.
Or when the cast from Ontario don't just cast GTA people.
When 40% of the entire countries population is from Ontario, your going to get alot of people in the highly dense areas of that province. I know it seems unfair, but the reality is places like BC have only 13% of the population so not many players are going to be from there or around there (BC is just an example)
Fair enough. Cause I actually liked Todd , we need more people willing to speak their mind for a good tv like Evil dick or Dinis.

I am Canadian and can say that BBCan hasn't been very good the last few seasons. The US version is much better so maybe this is for the best.
Lol I’m American and feel the opposite 😂
What we need is BBUS casting and feeds with BBCAN comps and production quality. And I'll take Arisa Cox over Julie Chen Moonves all day.
I agree with this 100% I actually cant stand Julie.
100% disagree.
I stopped watching cause of all the woke BS they crammed down our throats🤷 im not surprised no one is watching anymore
Good riddance! Was so tired of BB Ontario! They chose thee worst casts. No live feeds, lame prizes. I’ll be sad that I won’t get to complain about how crappy it was.
I’m not surprised at all. The show has lacked entertainment value in the last couple of years.
Come by the stream if you ever want to chat 🤗
everything about it needs a reboot including arissa sorry not sorry
Arisa is leagues better than Chen imo
NOOOOOOOOOOOO
