Big Brother Canada 5 cast (partial), pre-game interviews, and assessments

Welcome to Big Brother Canada 5! It’s been a long time coming, but on March 15, you’re going to get a chance to see the latest batch of players in action.

However, this time around, let’s just say that it’s a little bit different. There are going to be both new players and returning players from past seasons coming back in order to win the grand prize, and there’s sure to be some other crazy twists and turns along the way. (Aren’t there always with this show?)

The big announcement that we have today is that we spoke to the entire cast one-on-one earlier this week, and we will be updating this article with links to all of the pre-game interviews as they are released. The first batch of them is out today, while the next batch of them will be soon. Hopefully, you find a lot to like in this group — whether you love the houseguests or hate them, we do want to hear your thoughts on them in the comments! Once we get through the cast, we may get a little more in-depth on potential twists and other odds and ends of the season.

Just as you would expect, we’re grouping the cast by whether they are first-time players or coming back from a previous season. Click on any of the names below to be navigated over to their interviews.
