This #BBCAN5 voyage through time begins Wednesday, March 15 at 9 p.m. ET/PT on Global.<br> Vying for another shot at BBCAN victory, second chance Big Brother Canada houseguests are all after the ultimate redemption – a chance to re-write their history, and Canada has a front row seat! Second chance houseguests include: Gary Levy from Toronto, ON; Neda Kalantar from Vancouver, BC; Kevin Martin from Calgary, AB; and Bruno Ielo from Ottawa, ON. First time houseguests joining the returning players include: Andre “dre” Gwenaelle, a masters student from Montreal, QC; Mark Chrysler, a bartender from Edmonton, AB; William Laprise Desbiens, a Marketing student from Trois-Rivieres, QB; and Emily Hawkin, a bartender from Lindsay, ON.<br> Meet the first eight of this season’s 16 houseguests:<br> SECOND CHANCERS<br> Gary “Glitter” Levy<br> Age: 25<br> Hometown: Toronto, ON<br> Currently living: Ajax, ON<br> Occupation: Artist<br> BBCAN background: The first runner up in the inaugural season of Big Brother Canada, Gary would have taken the BBCAN crown if fellow Season 1 houseguest, and his closest ally, Topaz hadn’t mistakenly voted for rival Jillian to win instead of him. Talk about misunderstanding the voting process!<br> Second chance strategy: “First and foremost, I’m going to reiterate the voting instructions when I get to the final two: ‘Houseguests, vote for the person you WANT to win!’”<br> <br> Neda Kalantar<br> Age: 25<br> Hometown: Vancouver, BC<br> Currently living: Vancouver, BC<br> Occupation: Fashion Stylist and Entrepreneur<br> BBCAN background: The victim of friendship gone wrong, Neda made it to the final three in Season 2 but her game was cut short by her closest friend in the BBCAN house, Jon, when he won the final HOH and evicted her in the finale.<br> Second chance strategy: “Last time I went in and laid low for the first few weeks. I can’t do that now. I have a reputation going in. I will cut anyone I need to cut this season and I won’t look back.”<br> <br> Kevin Martin<br> Age: 24<br> Hometown: Calgary, AB<br> Currently living: Calgary, AB<br> Occupation: Professional Poker Player and Content Creator<br> BBCAN background: One of the first houseguests to be evicted as a result of a triple eviction, Kevin is also the first houseguest in BBCAN history to be evicted without receiving any eviction votes against him. Ouch.<br> Second chance strategy: “The first time I played I thought having good social game was just getting along with everyone, but it turned out to be a little shallow. This time I want to get to know people deeper on a personal level.”<br> <br> Bruno Ielo <br> Age: 33<br> Hometown: Ottawa, ON<br> Currently living: Ottawa, ON<br> Occupation: Construction Worker<br> BBCAN background: The first houseguest to win the Power of Veto during a triple eviction, Bruno lasted eight weeks without a single eviction nomination. But the father of two was ultimately evicted in a coup d’état twist that put him on the block and lead to his departure from the BBCAN house.<br> Second chance strategy: “I don’t have a set strategy. I need to meet everybody, see what they’re about, see the personalities, learn their strengths and weaknesses and use those against them.”<br> <br> FIRST TIMERS<br>
