Big Brother Canada Season 8 was planned to run for 83 episodes and had a total of 16 HouseGuests. But, this soon changed as for the first time in the franchise we witnessed the removal of two HouseGuests in violation of a house rule. Things further went down the drain as the COVID-19 Pandemic had begun. This meant that the production of Season 8 had to be stopped. The season curtailed a total of 25 days with 11 episodes. As the season got discontinued, there was no winner and the prize money of CA$100,000 went to a COVID-19 relief charity. The production finally ceased on 24th March 2020 with the Season finale airing on 1st April 2020. Later as GlobalTV incurred losses, further seasons were in doubt. And almost after four months of its cancellation, Big Brother Canada was renewed for a ninth season. This was to be hosted by Arisa Cox, who was even named as an Executive Producer of the show.
Big Brother Canada Season 8 Finale Recap
On Day 24 of Big Brother Canada at 4:47 p.m. ET, the HouseGuests were informed how the production of season eight was to be ceased. This was to happen on the very next day, therefore the contestants were given a day off. During which they were to pack their things and say their goodbyes to one another. The next day, the HouseGuests were given a form of farewell as they were shown a montage of their best moments. Later, each of the Houseguests was told to leave one at a time as they left the house to head back to their homes. The last two HouseGuests to leave were Brooke and Sheldon who exited the house at 7:31 p.m. ET. This marked the end of season 9 on its 25th Day. The empty shots of the house were shown as the lights slowly turned off. But, in a brief post-credits scene, we see Big Brother’s illuminated eye turned back on. This was a form of a reminder that Big Brother will always be watching. Also Read: ‘Big Brother Season 22’: New Cast, Host, And Everything You Need To Know
