Big Brother (Quebec TV series)
season of television series
Big Brother is a Canadian reality television series, which aired on V in the Canadian province of Quebec in 2010. Based on the international Big Brother franchise, it was produced as a spinoff of the network's long-running Loft Story.
The host was TV presenter Chéli Sauvé-Castonguay and lasted 63 days. The season launched on March 14, 2010, with fifteen housemates entering the house on Day 1. This series was the first international version to follow the American format in which the game is played internally, but with slight variations.
Aside from the main show, there was an accompanying show that aired every Sunday on V. The show was hosted by journalist Pascale Levesque. The winner of Loft Story: La Revanche, Sébastien Tremblay, blogged daily about the show on its official website.
There were no plans for a follow-up season that have been announced for a decade. However, on August 24, 2020, it was announced that the show would be revived for a celebrity version in winter 2021 on Noovo.
Format
Big Brother Quebec loosely followed the format of the American version in that the housemates mostly decided who would stay and who would go.
