"Big Brother Canada 3" premiere review: Were the opening twist, nominations unfair?
Was the opening twist fair? Hardly, but this show is unfair, and everyone had the same unfair disadvantage. Almost like “Survivor,” the entire house voted for the two nominees, and they were chosen almost based on first impressions. It’s mostly a reminder that these are extremely important, and Sindy totally struggled with hers given that she kept reminding everyone how to spell her name. Too much of a gimmick! We’re not entirely sure why Risha was nominated alongside her, except other than that she made zero effort with her fashion choice to come across as anything other than intimidating. Sometimes, even what you wear can be important in the game.
Also, these two were victims of what is a tendency on these shows: Guys tend to bro down early out of convenience; it requires almost no effort at all. By week two or three, that tends to change.
For the first Power of Veto Competition, the houseguests (or at least six of them including the nominees, Pilar, Kevin, Zach, and Bobby) took part in a course / puzzle task that at least had some sort of mental component to it. It actually felt a ton like a “Survivor” challenge, to keep that particular analogy going. The show did a pretty good job of establishing a Risha underdog edit through this; she kept fighting despite being at a physical disadvantage, and seemed to get some respect for that. The problem for Risha is that the edit didn’t matter. Sindy with an S won a Veto with a V, and this ensures that she will not be going home next.
At the Veto Ceremony, Sindy decided to Veto herself and nominate Pilar, seemingly without any strategy talk.We don’t love this for a first week, we’re not going to lie. The only real justification Sindy had was that she hadn’t spoken with her.
Now, the final twist: Canada decides the first person to go home! If we had to vote one way or the other, we’d say to keep Risha in the house. She seems to be more competitive, and all we’ve really gotten from Pilar is that she laughs a ton. We also interviewed her pre-game, and she gave us very little in the way of commentary. We don’t know hardly anything about her story, save for her coming from Mexico.
We did enjoy the premiere, mostly because it’s “Big Brother” and we always love that. With that being said, we like our twists to allow for a little more time than setting up nominees and replacements almost on the spot. Grade: B-.
