Big Brother Celebrity did not experience the thunderous start that was expected on Sunday in Noovo.
But before we explain why our last hour of daily pre-curfew freedom deserved better, let’s talk about the competition. We already knew that Geneviève Borne, Claude Bégin, the drag queen Rita Baga (alias Jean-François Guèvremont) and the influencer Lysandre Nadeau would be part of the adventure. The presence of Jean Pascal had also been announced, but in the end, the boxer withdrew because of a “professional opportunity that he could not refuse”, explained Marie-Mai, who pilots the show. .
The other candidates are Marie-Chantal Toupin, Maxime Landry, the actors Emmanuel Auger and Camille Felton, the hosts Varda Étienne and Laurence Bareille, Kevin d ‘Occupation double, boxer Kim Clavel, comedians Jean-Thomas Jobin and Richardson Zéphir, and entrepreneur François Lambert.
- Listen to Anaïs Guertain-Lacroix’s cultural chronicle on Pierre Nantel’s show on QUB radio:
Interesting potential
These 15 personalities entered a 28,000 square foot house with 73 cameras. They’ll be filmed around the clock for the next 13 weeks … provided they escape Sunday eliminations, of course.
The winner will win a grand prize worth $ 100,000 including a Cadillac and $ 50,000 in cash, half of which will be donated to the desired foundation.
First observation concerning the distribution: the potential of sparks seems interesting, especially when we turn our attention to Marie-Chantal Toupin. Not only is her ex François Lambert present, but she described herself as a “born bitch”. Her speech attempt to be named the venue’s “boss” hinted at a raw / lack of polish / I-don’t care side that could pay off on screen.
“I’m going to be a good leader for you,” she said to a less than convinced group.
Lack of intensity
Big Brother Celebrity will it be our guilty pleasure of winter? After having suffered the ordeal of the wall, nothing is less certain.
When Maxime Landry said it was the most intense affair he had experienced in his life, we wished we could have said the same, but alas, as a viewer, watching people try to stand while receiving water in the face for 30 minutes is not what we call “good entertainment”, as Marie-Mai had promised at the opening of the program.
Despite everything, we will be there Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday at 6:30 p.m. to see how things are going.
