For Immediate Release

TORONTO, March 5, 2024 – Global raised the curtain on a new season of Big Brother Canada tonight as BBCAN former houseguests, Richmond Hill’s Anthony Douglas and Hamilton’s Victoria Woghiren, were revealed as the two mystery all-stars joining the BBCAN Studios to compete for the grand prize in the Season 12 premiere. With safety for the week, Season 2 runner-up, “Pretty-Boy” Anthony and Season 9 jury member, “Spicy Vee” Victoria made a grand entrance, shocking their adoring new housemates and then Host Arisa Cox revealed the first show-stopping twist of the season.

Tune in tomorrow (Wednesday, March 6) at a special time at 10 p.m. ET/PT, to find out who wins safety for themselves, regardless of which side they’re on, and which All-Star’s entourage the houseguests join. Once the entourages are set, the spotlight shines on the two VIPs, as Anthony and Victoria will go head-to-head in hopes of becoming the first Head of Household of the season and while the losing All-Star has immunity for themselves, the rest of their crew is eligible for eviction. This is a make-or-break competition for the two BBCAN all-stars, as everyone knows, reputation is everything in the Hollywood North.
