TORONTO, April 16, 2015 /CNW/ - In another unanimous house
vote, Johnny Colatruglio, the 26
year-old super fan from Winnipeg
became the fifth person to be evicted from Big Brother
Canada. Johnny completes the First Five, joining Risha,
Sindy, Naeha, and Graig in the fight to compete for a chance to
re-enter the house. This first-of-its-kind competition kicks off
Sunday at 7pm ET/PT on
Global as the First Five battle for the sole spot to get
back into the house and give the houseguests their biggest shock
yet this season.
"I don't know what happened in there, it's crazy and unlike
anything I've experience before – an emotional rollercoaster," said
Johnny Colatruglio upon eviction.
"It was a unanimous vote, people are playing the game and I
understand that. As a fan you have to play and think ahead."
In one of the most heart-warming HOH wins this season,
Bruno Ielo, husband and father of
two boys, earned himself safety from eviction, a much-needed letter
from home, and a birthday card from his family, instantly sparking
nationwide waterworks. Bruno nominated Sarah and Johnny for
eviction and continued his winning streak by winning the Power of
Veto. After learning that his veto held double the power, Bruno
played it safe and kept his nominations the same, sealing the fate
of Johnny, Winnipeg's first-ever
houseguest.
This Sunday, fans will watch one of the most action-packed
episodes yet with grueling challenges happening inside and outside
the house. Inside, a new HOH will reign and nominate two more
houseguests for eviction, and outside, one of the First Five will
battle their way back inside the house. Big Brother
Canada is hitting the halfway point, and with a former
houseguest about to enter, alliances will build and burn. Watch
Sunday at 7pm ET/PT on Global to find
out who wins HOH and how the First Five will compete to get back in
to the house.
