Description[]
Big Brother Canada 5 was the fifth season of the series and also of coverage on RHAP. The format closely followed that of the American version of the show with major additional twists mixed in including allowing the Canadian audience to influence the game heavily via voting. For this season, 8 new houseguests faced off against 8 Big Brother Canada veterans, looking for a chance at redemption. This season also marks the first full season covered by Melissa Deni, who won the "So You Think You Can Podcast" competition at the end of Big Brother: Over the Top.
Big Brother Canada 5 coverage consisted of live shows done usually after each episode. Rob Cesternino would cover the Monday episode with two members of the LFC, while Jordan Parhar would cover the Wednesday episode and Thursday live eviction, often with some combination of the LFC and a Big Brother Canada alumnus. Rob also did exit interviews with the recently evicted, usually released on Fridays. Additionally, the LFC began their own weekly Sunday podcast beginning in Week 5, recapping the feeds up to that point. Due to this season airing at the same time as Survivor: Game Changers, Big Brother Canada 5 coverage showed only in the Big Brother and Reality TV RHAP-Ups feeds, as opposed to the main feed from previous seasons. This season also marked the final season covered on the Reality TV RHAPpy Hour, as Parhar would leave podcasting in order to focus on his schooling and career.
