For Immediate Release

TORONTO, April 27, 2021 – After last week’s suspenseful fake double eviction, Aurora, Ontario’s Jedson Tavernier was sent straight to jury after an epic battle-back competition with LaSalle, Ontario’s Tera Gillen-Petrozzi. The two freshly-evicted houseguests faced off in a grueling head-to-head challenge for a chance to win their way back into the house where Tera ultimately emerged victorious and immediately rejoined the four remaining houseguests in the Big Brother Canada house and Jedson officially became the season’s fourth jury member.

“I made it this far by playing true to myself and never wavering from that,” said Jedson. “But I think to ultimately get to the end, you’re going to have to be cut-throat, you’re going to have to betray people, you’re going to have to lie and deceive, and those are just things that I find hard to do.”

As the doors to the backyard finally opened, the houseguests were shocked to see Tera, their most recent target, standing there in a victorious moment after defeating comp-beast Jed. As the aftermath unfolded, the houseguests still needed to crown a new Head of Household. In a memory game that saw the houseguests placing bets on their own knowledge, Calgary, Alberta’s Breydon White won his first HOH of the season.

Watch the drama unfold on Global, Wednesday at 7 p.m. ET/PT to see who Head of Household Breydon White nominates for eviction and who wins the POV competition. Plus, catch all the live feed action at bigbrothercanada.ca.
