Big Brother Canada 11 is the eleventh season of the Canadian reality television series Big Brother Canada. The series premiered on March 8, 2023, on Global. Hosted by Arisa Cox, the show revolves around sixteen contestants (known as HouseGuests), who volunteered to reside in a house under constant surveillance and without any communication with the outside world as they compete to win a grand prize of C$100,000 cash.
Terrell "Ty" McDonald, a personal trainer from Toronto, Ontario, was named the winner of the show on the season finale aired on May 11, 2023. McDonald became the second Black Canadian to win the show after Tychon Carter-Newman in Big Brother Canada 9. He defeated fellow finalist Claudia Campbell in an 8–1 vote from the jury of previously evicted HouseGuests. Meanwhile, Jonathan Leonard was voted as Canada's Favourite HouseGuest.
Format
Big Brother Canada follows a group of contestants, known as House Guests who move into a custom-built house outfitted with cameras and microphones, recording their every move 24 hours a day. The House Guests are sequestered in the Big Brother Canada House with no contact with the outside world. During their stay, the House Guests share their thoughts on events and other HouseGuests inside a private room referred to as the Diary Room. At the start of each week in the house, the House Guests compete for the title of Head of Household, often shortened to simply HoH. The winner of the HoH competition is immune from eviction and will name two House Guests to be nominated for eviction. After the nominees are determined, the Power of Veto competition is played. Five players will compete in the competition: the two nominees and three random players, with the winner receiving the Power of Veto. If a House Guest chooses to exercise the Power of Veto, the Head of Household is obligated to name a replacement nominee. The holder of the Power of Veto is safe from being nominated as the replacement nominee. On eviction night, all House Guests must vote to evict one of the nominees, with the exception of the nominees and the Head of Household. The eviction vote is by secret ballot, with House Guests casting their votes orally in the Diary Room. In the event of a tied vote, the Head of Household will cast a tie-breaking vote publicly. The nominee with the majority of the votes is evicted from the house. Midway through the season, the evicted House Guests go on to become members of the "jury"; the jury is responsible for choosing who wins the series. The final Head of Household competition is split into three parts; the winners of the first two rounds compete in the third and final round. Once only two House Guests remain, the members of the jury cast their votes for who should win the series.

Summary
Episodes
Twists
= Dead Last Nomination
=In Week 2, the HouseGuest who placed last in the Head of Household competition was automatically nominated as the Dead Last Nominee. After the pair of Renee and Shanaya came in last place during the HoH competition, they faced off in a second competition in which the loser would automatically become a third nominee for the week. Renee lost the competition, and therefore became the Dead Last Nominee for the week. While the Dead Last Nominee could not pick a player for the Power of Veto competition, they could still be taken off the block if the Veto is used on them. If the Dead Last Nominee is removed from the block, the HoH would then have to still choose a replacement nominee.
= Belairdirect Eviction Protection Insurance
=Occasionally throughout the season, the public would vote for one HouseGuest to earn the Belairdirect Eviction Protection Insurance. The HouseGuest who receives the most votes would be immune from that week's eviction. The voter may public may vote for multiple HouseGuests with no vote limits being imposed. Once that HouseGuest earns immunity, they would not be eligible again to receive this immunity for the rest of the season. This immunity was sponsored by BelAirDirect.
On Day 1, it was announced that the viewers would be voting to decide which HouseGuest would receive immunity from nominations for Week 2. On Day 6, Claudia received the most votes and was awarded the immunity.
On Day 20, it was announced that the viewers would be voting to decide which HouseGuest would receive immunity from nominations for Week 4. Jonathan received the most votes and received the immunity.
On Day 34, it was announced that the viewers would be voting to decide which HouseGuest would receive immunity from nominations for Week 6. Santina received the most votes and received the immunity.
= Wendy's Rewards Points
=In the seasons run, the HouseGuests will be able to earn Wendy's Rewards points through various means, including becoming a Head of Household; winning the Power of Veto; being selected by the HoH for breakfast, surviving an eviction as a nominee; or completing a week of the game, among others. When a HouseGuest is evicted, they must bequeath their remaining points to a HouseGuest still in the game. On Day 58, it was revealed that the points would be spent at an Auction, during which the Final 5 HouseGuests could buy rewards, calls and letters from home and game advantages.
= Whodunit Week
=Similar to the Invisible HoH twist of season 9, all competition winners for the week will not be announced. All decisions were made in the Diary Room, before being displayed on screen during the ceremonies.
Additionally, to disguise the Anonymous HoH, they were eligible to compete for the Power of Veto if they were drawn and could compete the following week to be HoH; however, they did not have access to the HoH Suite.
= Fatal Feast
=Week 6 included an Instant Eviction, which occurred at a surprise feast for the HouseGuests that was revealed to be a Fatal Feast. The game structure for the Fatal Feast Eviction operated similarly to the Chain of Safety twist from season 10, with the nominations being determined by a "Chain of Safety" selection process. Beginning with Kuzie, as reigning Head of Household, each HouseGuest would select another HouseGuest to save until three were left unselected. The remaining three would then compete for safety in a second challenge to determine that night's set of nominees who would face the House's vote.
= Other twists
=During Week 1, there was no eviction, and the first eviction was held during Week 2 instead.
Production
= Development
=The eleventh season was produced by Insight Productions, in association with Corus Entertainment and Banijay. The season was first announced on June 8, 2022, at the Corus upfronts for the 2022–23 Canadian network television schedule. A press release for the show's renewal confirmed that Arisa Cox would return as a host and as an executive producer. Executive producers John Brunton, Erin Brock and Eric Abboud were also confirmed to be returning for the season. Casting began on August 8, 2022, with Kassting Inc. returning to provide casting services for the show. Online applications opened upon the start of casting and closed on November 11, 2022; the cast was announced on March 1, 2023. On February 6, 2023, it was announced that the season would premiere on March 8, 2023.
While premiere and all weekly eviction episodes took place behind closed doors, live audiences returned for the first time since Big Brother Canada 8 for the season finale.
= Prizes
=In addition to the main C$100,000 cash prize, the winner, as decided by a jury of evicted HouseGuests, will win an additional C$10,000 provided by Winners intended for new clothing, and C$10,000 worth of SharkNinja products. Meanwhile, the runner-up receives C$20,000 and the HouseGuest voted as Canada's Favourite HouseGuest receives $10,000.
Additional prizes were also offered during select challenges held during the seasons.
= Production design
=On February 27, Global released images of the HoH room, foyer, diary room, and the bathroom of the new house, billed as the Big Brother Canada Manor. The house is built with hidden passageways and hidden twists "designed to stroke paranoia in the house".
= Digital Dailies
=On February 23, it was announced that the show's 24/7 live feeds will be replaced with "Digital Dailies", featuring uncut footage from the house that will be published weekly on the show's website. The move received backlash online. Lorraine Palinkas of ScreenRant described the elimination of the 24/7 live feeds in lieu of the "Digital Dailies" as "surprising", while commenting that "it seems that production felt that the feeds were doing more harm than good".
Voting history
= Notes
=Reception
The season received a mixed to negative reception from viewers and critics alike. Lee Whitten of ScreenRant deemed the season as a "very weak" installment for the show, citing the "unlikable presence" of the eventual winner, Ty, and the "weak overall gameplay" seen on the show. Whitten added that the elimination of live feeds "doomed" the season from the start.
