showmances.
For die-hard fans, Big Brother Canada After Dark

"The support viewers have shown Big Brother Canada over
the past three seasons has been nothing short of phenomenal,"

Shipton, SVP, Content, Shaw Media. "Last season was the
most-watched, most-talked about season yet and in season four we're
taking Canadians on an even wilder ride."

Brother Canada even more riveting surprises and unpredictable
turns. Season 4 is no exception – viewers will love what we have in
store for them," said John Brunton,
