‘Big Brother Canada’ finale reaction: Impressions of the cast after shocking vote
We are admittedly still trying to process just about everything that happened on the “Big Brother Canada” Thursday night. After spending most of the day at the studio, it’s safe to say that this was one of the craziest, most bizarre things related to a show that we have ever been a part of. Regardless of your opinion on Topaz voting for the wrong person (which you can read even more about here), It still very hard to dispute that this was something that you will remember for quite a long time.
So after the finale, we had a chance to go out to the Big Brother Backyard (which is slightly smaller than it comes across on TV) to prepare for some interviews with all of the houseguests. Everyone that was a part of the show this season came out, including host Arisa Cox, to share some thoughts and reactions of all that happened. We’ll have a few more specific quotes from the night as we work to transcribe them, but we wanted to give you a taste of what the backyard experience was like following Jillian basically winning thanks to someone’s mistake.
1. Despite losing out on $100,000, Gary may have actually been the coolest and most accepting of what transpired. He was outgoing, kind, and he knew that the best things were still ahead for him.
2. Jillian gave us a high-five upon our announcement that we predicted her as the winner before the season aired.
3. Arisa admitted that she was going through every range of emotions during the Topaz crisis, and it was made even worse thanks to the fact that it was Topaz, who had been screwed over by twists already in the game.
4. Tom and Lisa were the only two houseguests we talked to who saw Gary losing as some sort of karmic retribution for what happened to them.
5. Talla is still Talla even when there are no cameras at all rolling.
6. After speaking with Emmett for just a few seconds, it was clear why so many houseguests all season wanted to believe every single thing that he was saying.
As we said, we’ll have more from the houseguests in the coming days. Our interview format basically amounted to almost a “Big Brother Canada” talk show, which means that you’ll be seeing some videos soon of us (along with other journalists), along with some more text-based fare.

Jillian you deserved to win, you won many competitions and you played a great mind game, Gary you are wonderful, you played a great game as well but I don’t think having people bring up there past issues is a reason to win, this is an inside game not outside..Gary you will go far in whatever you achieve and I believe you have done it already the world is ready for Glitter Gary. Peter you are an idiot and a horrible player you did nothing this season except throw things around and have Alex help you out, I think by your comment you have made yourself really look like and idiot. Topaz you are not a very good actress I do think you were voting for Jillian you looked at her key, now you are trying to do damage control. Aj great guy hope all goes well for you outside of the house. Andrew and Lalla love you both it would be a blast to party with you both, you two made the house this season. Alex you probably will need the shield to keep Topaz away from you. Emmett going to miss watching the milkman, such a nice site to watch a few times a week, and you too deserved to win. I hope Jillian you have fun with your winning and that you and Emmett get together without the cameras rolling. you make a great couple

Peter has some major mental health problems. Has traits of a serial killer.

All I can say is ‘FAIL’. What a train wreck of a finale. Anyway, it happened. But, I have to comment on a few observations that either shows 1) how nice some of these houseguests really are or 2) how childish and/or mean they are. You know what’s coming….right. First, Gary….he took the entire situation in stride with poise and grace. Kudos to you Gary!! Second, Emmett….as I mentioned in an earlier post….he’s a whiner. Dude, let it go!! We get it – you don’t like the fact that someone got voted back into the house. But guest what – it’s part of the show. You ‘claim’ that you are a BB fan, so you must know this. PLUS, it could have been either one of the four houseguests already in the Jury House, so stop pointing fingers. I wonder what Emmett would have thought of that twist if it was someone else who got voted back in (ie. Alec) and brought him to final two. Third, Topaz….well, what is there to say – she either was not paying attention or was just confused by the ‘goings-on’ of live tv (you have to be a part of it to see just how crazy it can be). Fourth, what the heck was that ‘vote for me speech’ that Jillian gave?! Oh my….I’m embarrassed for her. And, finally, Peter….wow, he really has a mean streak. I say this with all sincerity – the guy needs therapy. I’ll leave it there.
PS Was it just me, or did Cat and Liza both seem a little bitter about something?!?! I bet they are ready to ‘blow their lids’ on how they were portrayed and/or how someone said something nasty to them or about them in the house.

Good Observations Ahhhh :)
I totally noticed Liza’s demeanor and I thought she was ‘rude’ to the host, appearing quite defensive when spoken too. I found her ‘grumpy’ face quite annoying to look at. What was that all about Liza??

Jillian won fair and square, Topaz probably knew who she was voting for.
Emmet should have kept Talla and he would probably be the winner right now.
Gary was voted out, he should NOT (I repeat NOT) have been brought back. Period. End of Story. Congrats JILLIAN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Emmett is the sore loser. Just because Gary evicted him, he didn’t have to say Gary didn’t deserve to win because he had a second chance. Well, if that’s how you really felt, Emmett, then why didn’t you evict him instead of Talla? Stop whining about it and grow up! And if your “girlfriend” Jillian had any class, she would’ve given the title to Gary because she knows that Topaz meant to vote for him. But it just goes to show that Jillian was a WITCH in the house as she is out of the house. She’s a sorry excuse for a teacher.
