Big Brother Canada 8 Houseguests Learn That Show is Over Early Due to COVID-19 Pandemic 

They leave being stuck in a house, isolated from the real world.... to go be stuck in a house, isolated from the real world. There's just no big cash prize at the end of it. RIP.

I bet they had true culture shock when re-entering the world, empty streets, face masks, no toilet paper, Joe Exotic and Carol Baskin.

"I have some difficult news to share.... Everyone has been wiped out... You are the last of humanity.... I am just a robot... Good luck!"

Big Brother Cast: Hugging and rubbing their faces Rest of the World: We dont do that here

The only season where people will leave without hating each other, lol.

could you imagine being in this house hearing the world has literally STOPPED. goosebumps

They’re about to find out about Tiger King

Look at them sitting so close together like the old days.

They should get to come back and be the cast of the next season of the show since they didn’t get to finish this one

it’s so bizzare... we can’t know if they’re crying because they’re thinking of their families, the scale of this pandemic, their own safety, or even they’re just upset this show is being stopped. dystopian horror this is

"House guests, I have some difficult news to share.... Carole Baskin definitely killed her husband."

Big brother Canada: ends Big brother in the US: WELCOME TO BIGGG BROTHERRR season 22 !!!

Voice over: we are ending your stay and we are sending you back to the apocalypse.

It's ironic because the whole show is based on quarantined house guests.

Cherish sitting that close to people. That’s over now.

Not sure if they’re crying and more sad about the production ending or that they’re shocked that shit must be really real for them to have to shut the production down and Ontario going into lockdown

Imagine they weren’t given updates this would be such a freaky way to find out about a freaking pandemic 😭😂😂😂

Big brother canada: we're sorry about this you are so appreciated Big brother UK: THIS IS BIG BROTHER, YOU HAVE BEEN EVICTED FROM THE BIG BROTHER HOUSE! YOU HAVE 30 SECONDS TO LEAVE!

remaining housemates should be automatically eligible for big brother 2021. Edit. 2023 😒

The real problem was that they were going to run out of toilet paper.

imagine how traumatizing this must be to have an entire pandemic going on and not even know what's going on cause you are locked out of all media.

The most surprising thing about this is that Big Brother is still a thing.

the producers should’ve at least even each house guest 5k for participating in their show. Since nobody can win it would’ve been a great token of appreciation for them to give the houseguests cash.

Hopefully they'll give updates on their reactions to the world at home once they're safe. In a way, they should've realized or been aware that things must be really bad in the world for the production to shut down.

The entire country is shutting down: oh wow. We’re ending this season earlier: OH MY GOD!!!!!!!

Big Brother: Housemates, this is just a joke. April Fools!

we’ve been adjusting to the water gradually getting warmer these past months, meanwhile they’ve just been thrown in a boiling pot

It sucks that they cancelled it early. I would've loved to see who won the $100.000, but instead, they gave it away for a good cause, and I'm happy about that part. #StayHome #WithMe

I hope they take precautionary measures. Imagine leaving an isolated house only to contact the virus home.

You can hear the crackle in Erin voice, she tried so hard to keep it in. The emotions and the fear, knowing you were probably safer there, not knowing what was waiting for you or looking at the people you spent time with not knowing if you’ll ever see them again.

They act like they werent all going to double cross each other anyway.

Imagine they tried to keep doing the show and a month from now they lose power so they all walk out of the studio and find the city like 28 Days Later

Me: lmao why are they crying? Also me: fully sobbed in class 3 weeks ago when we found out we were being sent home for 3 weeks (which became 5 months) for Covid-19

Even if it seems like an overreaction to us, I do feel for them. They've been cut off from everyone and everything, only learned of what was going on in the last week, and now they're being unexpectedly returned to a completely changed world. They all must realize how bad things are if this is happening, and they're probably as scared as they are disappointed.

“You have to leave this quarantine to attend a much riskier quarantine” well dang...

As far as I've seen they know little about the goings on outside of the house. It'd be interesting to follow their reactions after the house.

Rewatching this is crazy. Even tho it was only 3 years ago it feels like a lifetime ago 😭 that was like a whole different world

Stop touching! That's so 2019

And then there's Big Brother Germany: "Well, there is a pandemic outside, but hey guys, we will play till the end lol!

pretty sure they're LESS worried about the season being cut short...and MORE worried about being forced to leave an actual sanctuary away from infection into a real world pandemic they're not fully informed about... 😱

i am having my dinner while scrolling with my phone lol and this came up... i teared up while eating lol.... i instantly remember all the terror of what covid did to all of us.... this is such a heart breaking moment for them.... what the host said about the cast being a distraction to what was happening outside was so precious greetings from the Philippines😀

I think they are in shock because the ending of the show shows how serious things are outside but I don't know any of these people haha. Just basing reactions off how i would react.

Imagine being in the dark from the outside world for so long and suddenly being exposed to such dreadful and deadly news. Wow. I cannot imagine.

Crazy to watch this 3 years later and realize this was so long ago.

Unrelated to covid-19, I like the themed rooms they have in the house.

That big brother woman is talking like they are sending them home to die together with their families and that there are no hope....so dramatic.

Imagine if this was for April fools Edit: thanks for the likes, I’ve never had more than 10 likes on anything!

I was waiting for the producer to say, "MAY THE ODDS BE EVER IN YOUR FAVOR"

We do know that they were probably at their safest while in there, right?

They will understand once they leave why they had to. I’m honestly so shocked at how long they kept it going considering there is crew.. of it we’re just them.. obviously they have been isolated but too much crew and behind the scenes.. of one of the cast member caught it then they would l get it and that would be a horrible outcome and honestly probably lead to a legal battle... That being said, their dreams are literally crushed and I know it will have a disruption in the gameplay but they should at lease let them finish the show after this is over even if it’s like an online only version like BBOTT... just let them have a winner... or let them split the money.

This breaks my heart watching It back 💔😭

For the 9th season premiere opening, they should have Erica Cox go up to a button that says reset and press it and she says, "It's time for reset." And then all of the house lights up, and after that they give background about covid-19 and that they had to end the season early, so they came to the conclusion that they should all have a 2nd chance.

I hope that when everything has settled, whenever that is, these house guests are brought back for a second chance.

When this is all over, the world will celebrate together. It'll be like everyone has won the world Cup. I can't wait.

I don't know why they just didn't keep them in there... They probably can't travel to get home anyways *Edit* Of course the production crew should go home and be with their families, I just meant that they should let the cast continue to stay there.

Don't know why I keep coming back to watch this... Getting the news is chilling.

Obviously they are devastated but I wonder how they feel now that they are informed of just how bad the virus outbreak has been

We got automated calls the other day here in SF CA where we were advised we are on Lock Down until at least early May , its friggen unreal

Imagine not being able to see or read about what's going on and the voice telling you the news... It's way scarier that way than it is outside...

*WOW,* Canada, this set is *_gorgeous!!!_*

I’m still shocked at what is happening in the world. I cannot imagine how these folks feel. They have only been updated by producers, away from their loved ones. As they leave the house they will see people wearing masks, and empty shelves. They will probably watch hours of RU-vid videos on the subject before they learn to just turn it off. Hope they can have a smooth as they can transition.

The person announcing the news chose great and comforting words in my opinion. But I can’t imagine how scared the cast members must be

Hopefully they’ll get another chance to play

Damn. Totally heartbreaking to go this far and nothing. When its all over and done with these remaining contestants should be acknowledged in next season of BBCanada whenever that will be. Glad they are safe. Stay Safe Canada. #WeAreInThisTogether

I'm surprise no one in the house thought this might be fake...? It kind of unbelievable that this is really happening in the real world. As far as the show goes they should bring them back after the lock down ends.

TBH, they should continue this one afterwards, whilst also preparing for the new cast for next season Or upgrade it for one season to have more people

It is so surreal what is happening right now!😔 I never thought that I‘d witness something like this.. like ever

Imagine if they came over the intercom today and said. Update covid 19. 123 million cases and 2.7 million deaths.

I expect some of the reactions were due to the sadness of no longer being on TV

This season was a disaster 1 quit, 1 eviction, 2 ejection and covid ended it early.

one year later and this still feels so surreal

they should part of next season's cast they really deserve to have another chance

These guys should spend their last night hugging and shaking soft hands. No more of that on the outside!

This makes me emotional like everything changed

It’s heart warming to see them care and be concerned for each other, when usually this show leads to back stabbing ❤️

I can’t imagine going back home after all this, like even for me leaving y11 early broke my heart because I didn’t get to have the full experience same with everyone at big brother. Like especially for them they’re returning to a world that’s so different than it was before

"I have some difficult news to share... Big Brother is saving $100,000.00 and you're all evicted"

people in these comments are so weird 🤨 hating on reality show contestants.. for being on a reality show... while watching said show make it make sense. they're people too, let them react how they need to. they have no idea what's going on in the world besides what they're told and even then they wont really understand the reality of the current situation until they get out - and they have family and loved ones on the outside as well. like y'all really forget these are people and not characters

Seriously I got goosebump.

They will still live in isolation after this ...

I still don’t understand why they can’t bring these houseguests back after Covid ends... That’s just not fair

Why did this get me emotional? I guess it's just everyone reality became a nightmare. Just to think we all were just living our lives and than hearing government shutdowns that's when shit was getting very real

me screaming "STOP TOUCHING YOUR FACE!!" Hopefully, they will learn that pretty quickly once they are out!

"Reality show cast faces reality for their first time."

i still want the complete gameplay end game of these Players. sadly we cant. 😢

2:56 *when the CDC doesn't say "April Fools!"*

This will always be so iconic.

It's a long difficult process to be cast on one of these shows. I feel for all of them

This will go down as a social document. Finally big brother has a new meaning

Everyones gonna going on about how they shouldnt be crying cause theres shows cancelled but picture being excited for something for months and months and months, thinking its gonna be one of the most amazing experiences of your life, something you maybe even dreamed about as a kid, it might even have the potential to kickstart a new career for you but if it doesn’t it will still be a once in a lifetime experience that few get to have. Then suddenly, out of no where, its taken away from you. Suddenly its gone and theres nothing you can do about it. Then on top of that you’re returning to a world where everyone is scared, anxious, angry. People can’t get close to each other. Businesses are shut down and many won’t open again. People are losing their jobs. People are dying, a lot of people are dying and everyone is suffering. I can’t even imagine it dude.

They should have bring some of them back for season 9

y’all talking about how they’re over reacting but they were lucky enough to get choosen out of thousands of people who sent in tapes. people try for years to get on this show. It’s their dream. Imagine the disappointment they must feel :(

she's crying because she won't win the money. and why does anyone watch this anymore? I haven't seen Big Brother on TV in 20 years in my country ....so weird...

I’ve never watched or cared about big brother, but watching this made me cry. Edit: I come back to this sometimes (a year later) now living in a covid society where the virus is just part of our lives now. I sometimes forget how unbelievable and scary it was initially.

Coming back to this, this seems like ages ago. And now none of them get to actually play.

"We need to bring you back to the real world, to your families, to what really matters to you." "But the money is what matters to me!"

I hope, when everything goes back to normal, they’ll come back as houseguests again

They seemed the most upset that the show was ending early.

"Hello housemates *cough* this is big *cough* brother. We are all now *cough* infected, there is no hope. You may be the *cough* last of *cough* us. I wish you all the *cough* best of luck out there. Stay *cough* safe!

Imagine she said " The virus turned people into a zombie". That would be epic
