Who won Big Brother Canada 3?
Sarah won Big Brother Canada 3 on 27 May 2015, beating Godfrey 7-2. Sindy, Kevin, Willow, Zach, Pilar, Ashleigh and Brittnee voted for Sarah. Bobby and Bruno voted for Godfrey.
There were ten jurors, but only nine votes counted. Before the final, Sarah, Godfrey and Ashleigh were told they had to agree, unanimously, on one juror to take off the jury. They chose Jordan, and his vote — cast for Sarah — was thrown out.
Godfrey won parts one and three of the final Head of Household, evicted Ashleigh, and took Sarah with him.
Sarah’s road to the end ran through her partnership with Brittnee. In week 9 Sarah won the veto to save herself, Brittnee went up in her place — and Brittnee’s secret have-not power then took her off the block too. The pair came through a week that should have cost them one of the two. Sarah then won two of the last three Heads of Household.

What were the twists in Big Brother Canada 3?
Big Brother Canada 3 moved to a bigger network and brought a lot more production into the game with it.
Canada evicts. There was no Head of Household in week 1. Every houseguest nominated two people, and Risha and Sindy drew the most. Sindy won the veto, Pilar replaced her, and then Canada — not the house — voted Risha out. It was the first Big Brother Canada eviction decided by the audience.
The instant eviction. Kevin won Head of Household in week 3 and had to nominate at once. There was no veto, and Naeha was out 9-2.
The Double Veto. In week 5 viewers voted to give that week’s veto the power to save both nominees. Bruno, the Head of Household, won it himself and did not use it. Johnny was evicted 9-0.
Sindy’s return. In week 6 an early evictee won a way back into the house, and it was Sindy. She lasted another week before going out 8-0.
The triple eviction. The show’s first. In week 8 Bobby was evicted 7-0, Brittnee won Head of Household and nominated three people — Kevin, Pilar and Zach. Bruno’s veto saved Zach and Willow went up. Then the house voted to save one of the three: Pilar got three votes, Willow two, Kevin none. Kevin and Willow left together. The double eviction page covers the faster formats.
Canada picks the have-nots. In week 9 Canada voted Brittnee and Sarah onto slop, and the have-nots then played for a secret power. Brittnee won it, and at the eviction used it to take herself and Godfrey off the block and put Bruno and Zach up. Bruno went 4-0.
The jury removal. At the final three, the finalists had to agree on one juror whose vote would not count. They chose Jordan.

What is Big Brother Canada 3 remembered for?
The twists. Canada evicted, Canada chose the have-nots, a veto was doubled by public vote, an evicted houseguest came back, and a juror was removed at the end. Season three is the one fans point to when they argue that production had too much of a hand in the game.
The jury removal. Taking a vote away from a juror who had already cast it — and letting the finalists choose whose — was the most argued-over decision of the season.
Jordan’s blindside. Jordan was evicted 5-4 in a week when his own ally, Zach, was Head of Household. It was the week the jury began.
The first triple eviction. Three people on the block at once and a vote to save one of them. Kevin went out without a single vote — and two years later came back and won Big Brother Canada 5.
BBTV. The house put on its own block of home-made television, BBTV, played out live on the feeds.
Did Big Brother Canada 3 have live feeds?
Yes. Big Brother Canada 3’s live feeds were free and streamed by Global, with After Dark on Slice. They went dark for the season on the morning of Day 66; the final-four eviction happened within the hour, off the feeds.
