Who won Big Brother Canada 6?
Paras won Big Brother Canada 6 on 10 May 2018, beating Kaela 6-1. Ryan, Ali, Olivia, Johnny, Maddy and Will voted for Paras. Derek was Kaela’s only vote.
Paras won parts one and three of the final Head of Household. That left her with the choice between Kaela and Derek — the season’s showmance — and she evicted Derek.
The two finalists got there very differently. Kaela won two Heads of Household and three vetoes. Paras won one regular Head of Household, at the final four, and no vetoes at all, and she beat Kaela with the jury.

Fourteen houseguests moved in, and Canada added two Gate Crashers on the first eviction night. In finishing order:

- 2nd — Kaela. Two Heads of Household, three vetoes, and the season’s showmance with Derek.
- 3rd — Derek. Evicted by Paras at the final three. The only juror to vote for Kaela.
- 4th — Will. Evicted on Kaela’s sole vote at the final four.
- 5th — Maddy. Saved by all three votes in the triple eviction, then evicted 2-0.

- 6th/7th — Olivia. Evicted in the triple eviction.
- 8th — Ali. Evicted 4-1 on the first part of triple eviction night.

What were the twists in Big Brother Canada 6?
Big Brother Canada 6 put the audience into the game at the start and again in the middle.
The Gate Crashers. Four candidates faced a public vote, and Canada chose two of them: Merron and Veronica. They walked in on Day 6, after the first eviction.
The double eviction. In week 4 Veronica went 9-1 and Hamza 8-1 on the same night.
Canada’s Save. In week 6 Kaela nominated Ryan and Will, and Canada voted to take one of them off the block. Canada saved Ryan, Kaela had to name Erica in his place, and Erica was evicted 5-2.
The triple eviction. In week 8 Ali was evicted 4-1. Derek won Head of Household and nominated Johnny, Maddy and Olivia. Kaela won the veto and did not use it, and the house voted to save one of the three: Maddy, with all three votes. Johnny and Olivia left together.

What is Big Brother Canada 6 remembered for?
The first all-female final two. After five seasons, Paras and Kaela were the first two women to sit side by side on a Big Brother Canada finale.
Paras against Kaela. One finalist won almost every competition that counted late in the game; the other won the jury 6-1. Which of them played the better game has been argued about ever since.
Derek and Kaela. The season’s showmance reached the final three together, and Paras split it at the last step.
The triple eviction. Johnny had been the first Head of Household of the season. He and Olivia went out together without a vote to save either of them.
