Big Brother Canada (season 7)

The fourteen HouseGuests were revealed on February 27, 2019.[3]

On Day 1, fourteen HouseGuests entered the spy-themed "Big Brother Canada" House. As the first twist of the season, Damien was selected by Canada to enter the House first, by himself. He had the opportunity to locate a secret "Leon's Lounge" and watch the first two groups enter the House before entering with the last group. After everyone settled in, Arisa dropped another bombshell: the Power of Veto competition for the week would be voided, meaning the two nominees would automatically face the first eviction. She also revealed secrets about everyone publicly. All of the HouseGuests were then locked up for the Operation: Escape Head of Household competition. In this competition, HouseGuests were locked in separate chambers. In the first round, HouseGuests must untie themselves from their chair and use the materials inside the chamber to reach a set of keys to unlock their door. The first seven HouseGuests to unlock their door would move on to the second round. Adam, Kiera, Estefania, Kailyn, Anthony, Mark, and Maki advanced to the second round. For the second round, HouseGuests must use a spoon to dig a hole, crawl under the fence, and hit their button. The first HouseGuest to hit their button will be the first Head of Household of the season. Adam was the winner. On Day 2, Adam nominated Damien and Laura for eviction. On Day 6, Laura was evicted by a unanimous 11-0 vote. Immediately after the eviction, Arisa gave another announcement. Canada voted for either Cory or Holly to enter the House as a "secret asset". Cory was chosen to enter the House, but was also given a secret mission from Arisa. She must make three Final Two deals within 24 hours. If she succeeds, she will earn immunity for the week. If she fails, she will be immediately evicted from the House.

Following Laura's eviction and Cory's entrance, the HouseGuests were teed off in the Golf for It Head of Household competition. In this competition, HouseGuests must balance a golf ball on their over-sized club. If they dropped their ball at any time, they were eliminated. However, at random points throughout the competition, the first HouseGuest to hit their button would earn the right to try and hit their ball into the hole for the win. If they missed the shot, they would be eliminated. The last HouseGuest with their ball on their club, or the first HouseGuest to sink their ball into the hole, will be the new Head of Household. Dane was the winner after being the last one standing. As Head of Household, Dane had to select three HouseGuests to become the first Have-Nots of the season. Adam, Mark, and Samantha became Have-Nots for the week. Cory formed Final Two deals with Kailyn, Damien, and Eddie, thus completing her mission and earning safety for the week. Alliances began forming very quickly. Dane, Adam, Anthony, and Mark formed the "Pretty Boys" alliance; Samantha, Chelsea, Estefania, and Kiera joined the "Pretty Boys" to form "The Eight" alliance. On Day 7, Dane nominated Kyra and Maki for eviction, with Kyra as the target. During the player pick for the Veto competition, another twist was revealed. The Head of Household is not eligible to compete for the Power of Veto until only five HouseGuests remain. On Day 8, Kyra and Maki, as well as Adam, Anthony, and Chelsea, splashed in the On a Roll Power of Veto competition. In this competition, HouseGuests must fill their bucket with sap and walk across the river via the spinning logs. If they fall, they must try again. After they reach the other side, they must pour their bucket into their container. The first HouseGuest to fill their container with enough sap to remove their ball will win the Power of Veto. Adam was the winner. On Day 10, Adam decided not to use the Power of Veto. Despite originally being the pawn, Maki became a target after Anthony and Kyra told Adam that Maki was targeting him and after Maki told Dane he would target him. On Day 11, Karen and Kevin from Big Brother Canada 5 surprised the Have-Nots for a task. After watching a video featuring the two, the Have-Nots were asked a series of questions. If they could answer three questions correctly, they would win a "Wendy's" meal for the whole House. They passed their task and earned the meal. On Day 13, after Dane was the tie-breaker, Maki was evicted by a 6-5 vote.

Following Maki's eviction, the HouseGuests were trained in the Truth and Spies Head of Household competition. In this competition, HouseGuests faced off two at a time at the podium. They were asked a question about their training exercises that took place the day before. HouseGuests must determine whether the question is true or a lie. If they answer correctly, they will advance and eliminate their opponent. If they are incorrect, they will be eliminated and their opponent will advance. The HouseGuest who survived the match will then select the next two HouseGuests to face off. The last HouseGuest standing will be the new Head of Household. Chelsea was the winner. On Day 14, the HouseGuests got sloppy in the Slop and Slide Have-Not competition. For this competition, HouseGuests were divided into teams of three. In each of the first two rounds, one player from each team must slide down the slide into the slop and search for discs with a slop-inspired recipe. Once they find one, they must head over to the table and eat that dish. The first team in each round to eat all three dishes will be Haves for the week. The remaining three HouseGuests will be Have-Nots for the week. Anthony, Eddie, and Samantha became Have-Nots for the week. Chelsea aimed to send Kailyn out the door after Kailyn orchestrated a last-minute attempt to save Maki last week. On Day 14, Chelsea nominated Damien and Kiera for eviction, with the plan to backdoor Kailyn. Before the Power of Veto competition, the players spun a wheel with various numbers. The HouseGuest with the highest number will win an advantage in the Power of Veto competition. Samantha earned the advantage. On Day 15, Damien and Kiera, including Kyra, Samantha, and Cory, gamed in the Instant Bingo Power of Veto competition, sponsored by "OLG". In the first round of the competition, HouseGuests must scratch off their bingo card to reveal their numbers. They must then search the balls being blasted to find the corresponding numbers and place them in their card. The first two HouseGuests to black out their card will move on to the final round. Samantha's advantage gave her two spots already filled in. Kiera and Samantha moved on to the final round. In the final round, the two must attempt to solve a crossword relating to "Big Brother". The first HouseGuest to correctly solve the crossword will win the Power of Veto. Samantha was the winner. On Day 17, Samantha took Kiera off the block, and Chelsea named Kailyn as the replacement nominee. On Day 18, Damien received a clue to embark on a secret mission through the House. After following a series of clues, he entered Leon's Lounge for the opportunity to watch classified information on Mark and Samantha. On Day 20, Kailyn was evicted by a 10-0 vote.

Following Kailyn's eviction, the HouseGuests stuck it out in the Buzzkilled 2.0 Head of Household competition. In this competition, HouseGuests must wait for the buzzer to sound. Once it does, they must hit their button. Throughout the competition, Big Brother will make them offers to lure them away from their button, including pizza and Have cards to avoid being Have-Nots. The last HouseGuest to ring in for each round will be eliminated. The last HouseGuest standing will be the new Head of Household. Dane was the winner. Adam, Cory, and Damien became Have-Nots for the week. Distrust between the guys and the girls of "The Eight" caused paranoia within the alliance, and they began to turn on each other. On Day 21, Dane nominated Chelsea and Kyra for eviction. On Day 22, the nominees, joined by Mark, Samantha, and Cory, put it all on the line in the Comp Beast Hall of Fame Power of Veto competition. In this competition, HouseGuests competed head-to-head. In each match, they must put on their medal, crawl under their hurdles, and cross their balance beam. They must then toss five rings onto their pegs in order to complete one lap. The first HouseGuest to complete three laps will win the match and eliminate their opponent. The winner of the final race will win the Power of Veto. Cory was the winner. On Day 24, Cory decided not to use the Power of Veto. On Day 27, Chelsea was evicted by a 9-0 vote. Arisa then informed the HouseGuests of the Double Eviction. Immediately after, the HouseGuests recalled in the Before or After Head of Household competition. In this competition, HouseGuests were read a series of events that have taken place this season. They must determine whether the first event took place before or after the second event. An incorrect answer resulted in elimination. The last HouseGuest standing will be the new Head of Household. Adam was the winner. He immediately nominated Eddie and Kiera for eviction. Eddie and Kiera, accompanied by Anthony, Estefania, and Mark, then got mazed and confused in the Spaced Out Power of Veto competition. In this competition, HouseGuests must stand and lean on their disc in order to maneuver their ball through their maze. The first HouseGuest to move their ball through the maze to hit their button will win the Power of Veto. Kiera was the winner. At the Veto Meeting, Kiera took herself off the block, and Adam named Kyra as the replacement nominee. On Day 27, Eddie was evicted by a 8-0 vote.

Following Chelsea and Eddie's evictions, the HouseGuests surveyed the scene in the Eye Spy Head of Household competition. In this competition, HouseGuests had two minutes to run throughout the House to study a series of installations.

As a reward for winning Head of Household, Samantha earned the opportunity to warch an exclusive episode from "Adult Swim" with a HouseGuest of her choice. She chose Adam to join her. She was also responsible for choosing the three Have-Nots for the week and chose Dane, Estefania, and Kiera. Arisa surprised the HouseGuests by revealing the existence of a secret room. After finding the secret room, the HouseGuests discovered the Blood Veto. The next morning, the HouseGuests found the Blood Veto missing. After Samantha was sequestered in the Head of Household room, everyone else was presented with a dilemma. They must decide unanimously who should receive the Blood Veto, despite not knowing how it works. This person will be safe for the week and is ineligible to play in the Power of Veto competition. Kyra received the Blood Veto. On Day 28, Samantha nominated Kiera and Mark for eviction. On Day 29, Kiera, Mark, Damien, Estefania, and Adam balanced in the Balance of Power Power of Veto competition. In this competition, HouseGuests will place one ball on their pole and complete one lap on the beam. Each lap, they will add another ball to their pole, making it more difficult to balance.

The first HouseGuest to return to the platform with 25 balls will win the Power of Veto. Adam was the winner. On Day 30, Canada voted for Kiera to receive a one night's sleep on a real bed in the Have-Not room. On Day 31, Adam decided not to use the Power of Veto.

Justin Carriero of The Young Folks called Big Brother Canada 7 that most lackluster season of Big Brother Canada. Carriero noted that the season had a great setup to be an amazing season; however when the Pretty Boys alliance, made up of Adam Pike, Anthony Douglas, Dane Rupert, and Mark Drelich, which ran the entire season and controlled every eviction vote, made the season repetitive and boring. He also added that many of the other HouseGuests were not strategic and had a lack of gameplay. In his conclusion, he stated, "Big Brother Canada 7 started with fire before flickering out into smoke by the season's end."[11]
