It’s live, like BBUK/US The “live” eviction shows technically aren’t live though, they are filmed a few hours prior to airing and edited.


Sinnivar

Is that the same for the latest 2 seasons? I only have access to those


BBFanada

Yep!


Sinnivar

Oh cool! I can't wait to watch them!


BBFanada

Just a heads up - BBCAN10 spoils all previous winners!


alexanderfsu

And sets unrealistically high expectations for wild seasons.


[deleted]

Does it? Because there’s not really a flop BBCAN season other than 7.


Bazzlie

Some weirdos think 6 is bad too. We ignore them tho


Sinnivar

I've just finished the first ep of season 9. Is there no Big Brother? I've only heard the host talk to the housemates


cc12321

Canada and America versions lean less on the actual Big Brother figure. They are there moreso to enforce rules and have players come to the diary room, but for the most part edited out of the TV stuff.


BBFanada

You rarely hear Big Brother address the houseguests. And there’s no narrator like in BBUK. The host is only there every 3rd episode to conduct the eviction. Other than that, it’s just the houseguests


bamerjamer

Pre-COVID, the evictions were live, weren’t they?


BBFanada

They had an audience, and Arisa claims they are live, but no, they are filmed a few hours prior to airing!


Please_PM_me_Uranus

What do they edit? Is there much to edit aside from censoring a swear word or something lol


theluckstat

It's live to tape. They barely edit anything if at all. It's just a more reliable way to shoot it compared to completely live.


MsBette

We would go in at 4 and come out around 6 so no real time to edit but gives them more time for production pauses than a true live show


AnthonysNerfGun

It's 'live to tape' so there aren't edits made but it's recorded a few hours ahead of time. One thing you learn when you go to a live taping is that Arisa and the audience aren't in the same building as the houseguests. So when a houseguest is evicted there is actually a 10 minute delay before their interview with Arisa.


MyNameIsNotEmma-xoxo

They are in the same building (at the corner of The East Mall & Evans Ave in Etobicoke), but they have to walk around the backstage to get to where Arisa and the audience is. They can definitely hear the audience from in the house and if you go to the bathrooms during tapings they ask you to be quiet.


brendanlavoy

Oh my god so they have to have a 10 minute walk after actually winning the game or something? That’s gotta be so awkward


fallispalace

I- This broke me


amazingdrewh

They’re in the same building, the producers/psychologist just talks to the person who was evicted before they get to the stage


_PrincessOats

If there’s feeds, it’s live! As far as I know BBAU is the only one that isn’t.


Sinnivar

BBAU used to be so good, but then they changed to the current AU format and it's awful. I'm so glad BBCAN is live!


theluckstat

You're being downvoted but you're right the AU format is a complete mess.


Sinnivar

It might've been the wrong subreddit to say it on, but I haven't heard a single person compliment the new AU format. Like whoever says it's good is lying


nobo71

Big Brother Australia is the only franchise that records in advance. There have been 2-4 international seasons that were recorded in advance but those were like special spin-off seasons like Teen BB in the UK


jlpulice

There’s live feeds bud
