The moment Kevin Jacob's friend Shows up at chantal's door Is probably one of my favorite RHAP moments Ever!!! What a night that was!!

[@RumorHasIt3]

Epic moment! Loved that podcast 🤣

[@SimplyLolly]

YESSS!!! 💯‼️ That random shocking knock on her door followed by 2 "intruders" was one of the most amazing exhilarating hilarious unexpected moments out of all the BBCan recaps!! 😍😲😂🫤🤭

I swear, Shantelle is one link away from every single reality show contestant ever

I’ll miss BBCAN but I’m weirdly at peace with it. Feels like we lost the magic when we lost the feeds. Thanks RHAP for being the main reason to watch it.

[@PassionateHippy]

Thank you for this beautiful goodbye!I pray another network picks it up and brings back the live feeds. I’m looking forward to watching Kevin Martin and Gurleen on Amazing Race Canada. Y’all should cover!❤

[@KaponeGaming]

Was a good run

[@sunny_sketches]

Hi Bruno!

[@forgottenrelic1]

Topaz's vote will live rent free in my head always 🤌

[@RumorHasIt3]

I loved this podcast and am so glad we got to say goodbye to BBCAN. For me the show died when the feeds left but I will always hold a place in my heart for BBCAN. When it was good it was REALLY GOOD and 2 of my fav BB players of all time in Kevin Martin and Kevin Jacobs came from BBCAN so for that I say thank you for the memories ❤️

This was a really nice tribute! My first BBCan season that I watched live was season 7, so lol not exactly a bright spot imo. But it was cool to compare and contrast with BBUS. I really enjoyed hearing all of your personal experiences with finding the show and getting involved. I had the same thoughts about how BBCan8 shutting down due to the pandemic and giving the cast real time updates echoed BB2 having to inform them about 9/11 as another historically significant moment and piece of media tied to a real world event. Arisa becoming an EP was such an exciting moment and felt like a real win for the fan community. Much love and respect for her! Everytime I think about the ball pit room in BBCan9 it makes me laugh. Loved the increased diversity in casting including as mentioned Julie as more trans representation (albeit way too short lived) and Tychon becoming the first black winner of the North American franchise! The saga of Kyle Moore was such a wild thing that happened but I’m so glad it did! BBCan10 was such a dynamic season and while I do love Kevin Jacobs, I admit I was pulling for Betty at the time. Both are great though! As discussed so many times, losing the feeds felt like the first nail in the coffin for the show and it’s truly such a shame because BBCan11 and 12 were both interesting seasons. Unfortunately, I really felt the disengagement in the fan circles and I personally just couldn’t connect as much with the players or the seasons. Kuzie is a standout for her season and I’m so glad we got to see her on The Traitors Canada. While I don’t love captains seasons, I am glad that we at least got a couple more returnees before the show ended. Their dynamic this season was very fascinating. I’m also really happy with the Bayleigh win so for me the show ended on a positive note. I do hope that it gets picked up again by another network at some point because it was really cool to have a proudly Canadian version of one of my favorite shows! Also much like Chappell I have not seen BBCan6, and I don’t actually know if she was involved with RHAP beforehand, but I do want to give a shoutout to Kirsten for being one of my fave podcasters and for getting me to watch so many of the Hot Dummies on Islands shows (Love Island, Temptation Island, and FBoy Island especially) and of course listen to the podcasts! And of course, thanks to all of you for all of your coverage over the years of a really great show and providing me with hours upon hours of additional entertainment!

Still sad some people from BBcan 8 never got a 2nd chance. Gonna miss Arisa and BBCan :(

[@imjakedeason]

Sad days for the fans of the superrior version of this format of BB 😥😥

[@jessicaorwateva]

Thank you guys for all your hard work btw and everything you do 🫶🏾 we love & appreciate you!

[@ahmednuralkali7204]

The podcast I have been waiting for, u guys are my comforting zone. ❤

[@gerryaime9472]

Also show needs to be on a streaming service. Young people arent watching tv

[@yellowgal06]

I see Big Brother Canada being picked up and coming back in a few years. Whether Arisa or the live feeds will be back is another question.

[@inainoslo3011]

So started watching big brother USA back in 2007, and I’m from Norway, so the only way I could watch it was to download it on torrents. I was already watching bb uk and bbau so when I seen bb Canada I was all into that one too 😊

[@balldalt]

I'm not surprised. They need to air it in the US if they want a bigger audience. Also they have been making bad decisions the last couple seasons which didn't help.

[@petitepersianperspective3468]

Unless BBUS shortens their seasons or contestants can obtain special visas, they cannot allow Canadians to play due to immigration laws.

[@balldalt]

I wouldn't be surprised if BBUS also gets cancelled soon unless they make some major changes. They have been alienating their fan base by ignoring what we constantly ask for. As a result the ratings have been dropping every year.

[@DeluiseBookSeries4821]

any chance? any hope that the show might be picked up by another network?

[@robertmercer3212]

Imma start "Big Brother Cranada". First season is the All Stars season we all deserved. 😍🤣.

[@bailymay6666]

Can someone remind me what happened during the beginning bbcan 6, that is the reason chapel is “not allowed” to watch?

[@michaelfeeney6108]

Jordan and then the LFC are the reason I still watch BB. I watched BBUS 1 as it aired and have still never seen any live feeds. I was probably on my way out after BB16. I caught BB17 and got into BBCAN and the RHAP coverage around the same time. Still here! It would’ve been fun to have seen them run through the rest of BBCAN8 in a few days. Simple comps, multiple evictions a day. I believe Tychon is the only winner in either country to never be nominated, even at the final 4/3 that don’t really count, due to his final two HOH wins. I like that but of trivia.

[@MarshallArtsDesign]

BBCan peaked in season 10 watching along with RHAP especially Taran. Glad I was here for it! 🫶

[@Bluemooque]

RIP BBCAN maybe they’ll move it to streaming

[@sheronsimmons3811]

Oooh noooo😢

[@JoeHartman80]

Gonna miss this. It’s far superior to the U.S. version. Rip again to the Australian version as well, which is even better.

[@Anthonyniveaua2]

RIP BBCAN

[@jibblerino]

I tried to support it, started most seasons but quickly fell off.

[@Meriysi]

Oh my god this was the stupidest thing. Between this and just for laughs Canada has really sucked with their funding. Damn.

[@brienkillingitweber1558]

I’ll miss bb can. It wasn’t perfect but I loved most seasons bb can 9 is my favorite

[@gerryaime9472]

Rhap is a good reason bbcan got cancelled. I soon as i discoveres it i stop watching the show loll

[@daliretoncho]

Just here to remind everyone that Kaela was robbed on BBCAN6 over Paras 😊

[@jessicaorwateva]

Ppl would’ve definitely paid for feeds so I really don’t understand why they got rid of it 🤦🏾‍♀️ I’m so sad it’s gone for now because even as an American, I truly believe BBCAN was better than most (not all!(17,20,24,23?)) of the last like 10 BBUS seasons. Either way I have faith it will get picked up by another network because it’s too good of a show and Arisa is too good of a host! 🫶🏾❤️

[@jakeforsdahl599]

You want good f*cking tv!!? 😭🥹… yes please
