‘Big Brother Canada’ season 2: Mapping out the potential full schedule
While we have talked a little bit about some of the twists and turns that are going to come your way on “Big Brother Canada” season 2 starting next month, we realized this morning that there is something that still could be mapped out a little bit better around here: The full schedule of when you can actually watch the show. That is what this article is here to try to correct.
Let’s start out here with what you know already: The show premieres on Wednesday, March 5 at 9:00 p.m. Eastern time on Slice, which is definitely going to be yet again a competitive timeslot. You’ve got the likes of “American Idol,” “Criminal Minds,” and “Modern Family” all battling against it. But, the smart thing about this date is that it is a week after the two-hour premiere of “Survivor.” This may actually be one of the reasons why the show is starting a good week or so later this year. (“Survivor,” in turn, was pushed back by the Olympics.)
Basically, the schedule for the entire season should be as follows:
1. “Big Brother Canada” will air Sundays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays at 9:00 p.m. Eastern time, which makes it very easy to remember. The only night that we’re a little terrified of is Sunday, since it will be up against “The Walking Dead” / “Game of Thrones” at times during the season.
2. The new “Big Brother Canada Side Show” is going to air on Thursdays at 10:00, following the live eviction shows. You can read a little bit more about that here.
3. “Big Brother After Dark” will air every day from 2:00 a.m. until 5:00 a.m. Eastern. In case you are wondering, this will be a delayed version of events from the house. (Everyone during season 1 was typically asleep by that time.)
4. As for the finale, our crystal ball suggests that either Wednesday, May 7 or Thursday, May 8 will be the end of this season, though it could also end on Sunday, May 11 or even later if the show is extended. There still will be a hiatus of at least a month and a half between the end of this season and the start of the American version.
