TORONTO — Andrew Gordon can hardly be blamed for feeling betrayed by his country.
The 27-year-old Calgary restaurant manager was booted from the Big Brother Canada house on Thursday night in a 7-2 vote after being nominated by viewers.
“It’s hard to describe how you feel when you’re in a house locked away from everything and then you’re nominated by your country,” Gordon said Friday during an appearance on Global’s The Morning Show.
Gordon follows Ika Wong, Paul Jackson, Kyle Shore and Anick Gervais out of the Big Brother Canada house.
He said he’s not sure why Canada put him at risk.
“The twist came as a surprise and it really shook things up,” said Gordon. “I don’t think I could have played the game any other way.
“I don’t know if I would consider myself a ringleader but if that’s the way that I’m viewed… you know, I was playing the game, I was playing it pretty strong and things went a different direction.”

Gordon insisted he’s not a bad guy.
“Emotions run high and it’s really easy to get fired up and say things that you wouldn’t normally say or that you might not mean,” he explained. “Everyone is guilty of it. I don’t feel great about it but it’s such a hard thing to control when you’re in there.”
During Thursday’s Big Brother Canada Side Show, houseguest Kenny Brain revealed he is gay.
“It was a total shock because he acted out this straight role the whole way very convincingly,” Gordon said. “I don’t know why he would choose that as part of his strategy. I don’t see how it would work negatively against him being out on the show.”
Gordon described his sho-mance with Allison White as “absolutely legit” and said his feelings for her were genuine.
“I’m looking very forward to seeing her, whenever she gets off,” he admitted. “I hope that’s with the win.”
