Big Brother Canada 6 pre-game interview: Meet Kirsten MacInnis, part of this season’s twist

Welcome to our Big Brother Canada 6 pre-game interview series! We recently had a chance to speak with the houseguests leading up to the start of this new season, premiering on Global on March 7, as we’ve done years in the past. The goal this year was to find out a little bit about these players strategically, but also a little more about them as people. We want to know why they’re going to be interesting personalities to watch over the coming months and where they are coming from.

In this article, the focus is on Kirsten MacInnis, someone who loves this show very much and seemingly has a pretty solid strategy for making it all the way to the end. She is one of the contestants this season who will have to wait and see if she gets into the house due to Canada’s vote. From now until March 8 you can vote over at the show’s official site to see who you want to make it into the house. There are two “angels” and two “devils” in the mix, and Kirsten is identified as one of the devils. Two houseguests will end up joining the remaining players this season.

Take a look at the pre-game interview below.

CarterMatt – Tell me about yourself — your name, your age, and where you’re from.

I’m Kirsten, I’m 25 years old, and I’m from Calgary, Alberta.

What do you do for a living?

I work as a university housing coordinator, so I help process students who want to live in university housing on campus.

What made you want to be on Big Brother Canada this season?

I’m a huge fan of Big Brother. I’ve been watching for years, I watch the feeds, I pay attention every day online, and I’ve been trying for a really long time and this year everything just kind of came together.

What’s your strategy for winning this season?

My strategy is to focus on the social game and build connections. I want people to want me around and hopefully that can carry me through the first few votes. I feel like that will be tough for me.

Who are you most like from past Big Brother seasons, US or Canada?

I’ve gotten the Cassandra comparison quite a bit. We’re both rather loud and out there and we’re also both rather sneaky. I have also seen a lot of myself in Arlie — I know that it’s kind of a weird comparison, but there it is.

What’s the one part of your life at home you’re going to miss the most in the game?

I already missed my cats so much (laughs). It’s going to be really tough to not have them around.

Who is your biggest idol in life and why?

Honestly my older sister. She’s taught me to do pretty much everything and she’s always been there for me. She’s someone I would like to be more like.

How are you going to keep live feed viewers at home entertained?

I’m not going to nap all day and I’m just going to try and make it a fun game. I’ll have interesting conversations and try and keep it lit — I really shouldn’t have said that word (laughs). I’m going to do whatever I can to not be boring.

Besides the money, what are you hoping to get out of this season?

I’m hoping to prove myself and show that I’m not just a pretty face — I have a brain there and I hope people will see that after this.

First Impressions

Kirsten joins Jordan Parhar as one of the few Big Brother Canada houseguests who we’ve heard of at least by name going into the house — we’ve never had any direct communication with her before the pre-game interview but she definitely is a longtime fan of the show who should probably do well in this environment. She’s done her homework and should be prepared.
