A guide to Big Brother Canada [UPDATED FOR BBCAN6]
 
https://i.imgur.com/WEEoYSI.png

How does Big Brother Canada work?

Big Brother Canada is a hybrid of both the US format of Big Brother and the format that the rest of the world follows. A guide as to how the US format works can be found here. However, whilst BBUSA typically shies away from any public influence, BBCAN will occasionally involve the public in the larger twists that come into the game. For example, Canada could be made HoH for one week - meaning that the public gets to make all of the decisions bar the eviction. Another twist could be Canada deciding who the Have and Have Nots for the week. It's a mixed bag that adds a new dynamic to the US format.

Who are the Houseguests this time round?

You can view all the Canadian Houseguests and their profiles here.

Where are the house pictures?

You can view the BBCAN6 house pictures here.

How can I watch the show live?

You can watch the show live via a streaming site. These can vary as to which are taken down and which are still active - you can find some sites below:

http://videobrother.net/
http://bmx-tv.net/

If you have an iPhone/iPad, you can screen mirror these sites via an Apple TV, or by installing the AirReciever app for only £2.00 on your Fire TV/Chromecast. This will also work if catching up on episodes/watching Live Feeds via a VPN on the official website (see instructions below).

When are the shows on?

You can see what time the show is on and discuss the episodes here.

What if I can't watch the show live - how can I catch up?

VideoBrother or BMX typically upload the episodes after they’ve aired, though you can also try searching YouTube the next day to find the episodes. Alternatively you can watch the episodes via the official website with a VPN (see instructions below).

Where can I find/watch the Live Feeds?

Easy, just go to the Big Brother Canada website: http://bigbrothercanada.ca/ and click on the "Live Feeds" tab. The feeds are FREE - though they may be blacked out at times (this is because the producers will want to save some parts for the main show or because the Houseguests are discussing some issues that production would like to avoid being broadcast).

The best way to watch the feeds on a laptop/computer is via Liquid8d’s BBViewer, which includes bookmarks to key moments on the feeds. Find instructions on where to get it here.

If you’re watching via a mobile/tablet, you can access the feeds via the official website, though you will need to have a Canadian VPN installed to bypass the geoblock. HideMyAss is the most recommended for security and reliability, though you will have to pay for a subscription. Alternatively you can install TouchVPN for free, though it’s not as reliable.

What if I miss something on the feeds - how can I find out what's happened?

OnlineBigBrother's got you covered - they regularly recap the day's feed action in a write-up and have all the latest clips. Alternatively, you can follow @_BBCanada or @Hamsterwatch on Twitter for the latest quotes/screen grabs.

(If I've missed anything out, please suggest below and I'll include it here).

OnlineBigBrother.com has a guide on how to watch the feeds internationally. You should link it here.

Headie 25-02-2016 05:51 PM

OnlineBigBrother are the best for providing constant Live Feed updates and instant clips from Live Feed :clap1:

Headie 25-02-2016 05:52 PM

Is TouchVPN safe to use? :amazed:

JerseyWins 25-02-2016 05:55 PM

Is TouchVPN free? And yeah is it safe?

Calderyon 25-02-2016 05:57 PM

It seems to be. I just added it. I´ll test it now.

Calderyon 25-02-2016 06:12 PM

Sadly it didn´t work for me, but you others should test it.

andybigbro 25-02-2016 06:19 PM

I've stickied this so people know how to watch BBCAN.
A lot of people seem interested in the series this year.

JerseyWins 25-02-2016 06:24 PM

Indeed

BBCAN producers are genius for thinking of this international twist.

zakman440 25-02-2016 06:34 PM

Thank's for the suggestion about OnlineBigBrother guys - I've included it in the OP. Thanks also for sticking the thread Andy - hopefully this will help people out on how to get involved :D.

Hmm - that's a bit odd. It's worked for me on Chrome and on my iPad - perhaps it's a location issue? Another one that I found that works is Tunnelbear, but there's a data limit on that unless you sign up to the paid version. Perhaps you could give the free version a try?

TouchVPN is working for me but it's veeeeeeeerrrryyyyyyyy slow, idk if that's the vpn or the BBCAN website but either way it's kind of painful. :laugh: Still if it works for the feeds then I'm happy, thanks for the suggestion!!

Amy Jade 25-02-2016 07:34 PM

Thank you for making this :flowers:

Raph 26-02-2016 02:31 AM

Great thread concept, Zak. Props to you man!

zakman440 02-03-2016 08:05 PM

Giving this a bump before tonight - if you're planning on watching for the first time this will help!

zakman440 02-03-2016 10:54 PM

Some more streaming links in the OP if anyone needs backups :D

RichardG 02-03-2016 11:00 PM

thanks for the links

loving the random kpop playlist on videobrother.net :clap1:

This might work for the feeds and the show.

This thread is so helpful! :love:

Does anyone know if the streams work for mobile devices? There's no stream for me on any of the links but is that just because the show hasn't started yet?

T* 03-03-2016 11:48 PM

Having a mini marathon tomorrow with the first 2 eps of S4

I haven't tested the links on mobile devices yet but I know that if you get the VLC Player app (available on iOS and Android) and paste the direct link to the VideoBrother stream (I'll paste it below) into "Network Stream" then you can access their stream that way.

Legend! That works! thank you so much

JerseyWins 04-03-2016 01:16 AM

Fell asleep and missed the episode. Anyone know where I can find it? :worry:
