The broadcast schedule for the new seasons of Big Brother Canada and The Big Brother Canada Side Show will be announced in the New Year.
“We are so excited about the return of the Big Brother Canada Side Show next year,” said Arisa Cox. “We worked so hard on it and the final product was a funny, scandalous and irreverent show that fed our hungry fans and kept them thirsting for more.”
“The Side Show is one of the most engaging talk shows on TV,” adds co-host Peter Brown. “I am both thrilled and grateful that we have this platform for in-depth discussions of Big Brother Canada.” Adds Gary Levy: “Oh my God, I simply cannot wait to scope out the new houseguests and dish on all their drama and deceit!”

This season’s houseguests will once again compete for a grand prize that includes a $25,000 gift card to The Brick. The returning series sponsor remains the official furniture provider of the Big Brother Canada house with an activation that blends seamlessly from on air to online with returning elements like their weekly voting event (Get the HOH Look) and a new social media contest (Unlock the Ultimate Big Brother Canada Experience) offering fans the chance to win an all-expenses paid trip to the Big Brother Canada finale in Toronto, coupled with a tour of the house, and more. A special section of TheBrick.com is also available for fans to peruse the items featured inside the house and as an added fan bonus, The Brick will launch a special #BBCAN3 pop up experience at one of their downtown locations beginning Saturday, March 21.
Twistos® Baked Snack Crackers

shomi™
shomi, Canada’s new streaming service, joins Big Brother Canada with a branded, in-show challenge that’s as customized as the platform’s own libraries. Plus, each week, the Head of Household will get the chance to watch and explore one movie or show episode from shomi’s extensive collection – a rare luxury – as part of their reward.
KFC
Also contributing to this season’s action is new sponsor KFC whose integration is so good, it’s one of season three’s most tightly guarded secrets, in addition to treating the houseguests to the Colonel’s famous chicken.

16 housguests confirmed!
'Big Brother Canada': Meet The Houseguests Of Season 3
The reality show that made backstabbing and showmances a TV art form is back, with season three of Big Brother Canada premiering on Global next Monday.
Over the next three days, ET Canada will reveal the 16 houseguests, kicking off tonight with a quarterback, a rock climber and a plus-sized model.
So just how far are the new houseguests willing to go in order to emerge this season’s Big Brother Canada winner?

From L-R (Sarah, Jordan, Ashleigh, Bobby, Britnee, Zach)
“I don't want to have to do it,” says contestant Brittnee of lying and stabbing her fellow houseguests in the back. Then again, she admits that plan “is crazy because this is Big Brother Canada. But you know, we'll see.”
Contestant Zach says he’s planning to go all out… within limits. “I'm gonna do what I have to do,” he says, “what I have to do to get further in the game. But at the same time, there's a certain line that I don't want to cross.”
What about showmances this season? None of the newbies are ruling out the possibility, and Brittnee explains what she’s looking for in a showmantic partner. “I don't like high-maintenance people,” she says, “or people that just think they're better than everybody else.”
Houseguest Ashleigh admits that “it’s definitely hard for me to stay nice” when she encounters obvious rudeness, so watch out for fireworks if any of her fellow houseguests are “obnoxious, in-your-face people.”
In that regard, her fellow houseguest Bobby might just fit the bill. “I would define myself as crazy, fun-loving, spontaneous,” he says. “Some people might think I'm borderline psychotic,” he adds with a laugh.
Tune in to ET Canada over the next three days, airing weeknights at 7:30 p.m. ET/PT on Global, to meet the houseguests from season three of Big Brother Canada.
