The reality TV hopefuls came in response to an open casting call on Saturday for the Canadian reality TV show.

Contestants live in a house under video surveillance and are completely isolated, without access to a phone, television or the internet.
Each week, the contestants vote each other out and the last person standing wins the grand prize of $100,000.
The casting call saw groups of six be put to the test by Bethany Yamawaki, the casting producer for the auditions in Saskatoon.
“It’s the biggest, greatest social experiment ever really, putting these people in a house with no interaction with the outside world. Everybody wants to know what’s going to happen,” Yamawaki said.
In the five seasons of the show, the only Saskatchewan contestant has been Regina’s Zach Oleynik back in Season 3.
“We’re always looking for big personalities, big characters, but really we’re looking for somebody who knows who they are and really authentic to themselves. They’re not trying to be like another person, or somebody from another season,” Yamawaki said.
