TORONTO — The 16 houseguests chosen to be a part of season 3 of Big Brother Canada, debuting Monday, will be staying for up to 70 days in a brand new house equipped with 85 cameras and 60 microphones.

The house has sepia-soaked walls, grinding gears, and secret vaults.

“The geography of the house is exactly the same but seeing as it’s a new season, we wanted a brand new feel for the house so we went with steampunk,” explained host Arisa Cox.

“It’s a vision of the future set in the past so it’s kind of like a clock exploded in here. It’s busy, it’s chaotic, which is exactly how Big Brother Canada goes down.”

The houseguests, chosen after coast to coast auditions, are competing for $100,000 cash, a $25,000 gift card from The Brick and a $10,000 trip courtesy of Twistos.
