Alliances, strategies, lies and superhuman trials, the next season of Big Brother Celebrity, which begins this Sunday, promises to be explosive and very entertaining, assures Jean-Martin Bisson, its content producer.
Filming began Thursday, and the game is already “much more advanced than last year at this date,” confirmed the producer in an interview with the QMI Agency.
According to him, candidates quickly understood the urgency of making choices as strategies and alliances formed within the first 24 hours.
For the moment, only the host Guylaine Guay as well as the singer and actress Claudia Bouvette have been officially announced among the participants.
“No one will be comfortable this year. The game will be more difficult and more unexpected than last year, ”promised Mr. Bisson.
Especially since the big alliances will not be able to survive this year, since “the celebrities will be severely tested”, and this, every week. “We are going into fifth gear, so if the candidates thought that the great alliances of last year were going to be able to survive, it is impossible this year. Because every week [les candidats] will have surprises that will completely upset and disrupt any plan that could have already started to be set up, ”he said.
Starting with the fact that not all the ousted candidates will have the right to vote to elect the winner. Rather, it will be the task of a jury, appointed later in the season, the producer told the content. Only the candidates who will be ousted from the moment determined by the production will be able to constitute this jury.
“It will be an odd number, so the direct consequence in the house is that the players, from the start, will have to try to eliminate the players whom they consider to be enemies or the players whom they believe they are. will not vote for them, ”he said.
The importance of choosing your allies
For the second season of Big Brother Celebrity, all the candidates said they were ready to play, even if it meant lying and using strategy against their allies.
“It plays a lot in the confessional and there are already a lot of people lying to each other,” confirmed Jean-Martin Bisson.
In addition, this year’s events will be more numerous and less physical than in the first season.
“In fact we have about as many social hardships as physical and psychological or intellectual. All players have an equal chance of winning events. It is therefore more important this year to make complementary alliances, ”raised the producer of Noovo’s flagship reality TV this winter.
In addition to having a negative result in his PCR tests and respecting the measures in force on film sets, the right candidate for Big Brother Celebrity must be prepared and have a developed social intelligence.
“You have to know how to manage people and have the intelligence to be able to see what is going on inside other relationships, plan ahead and especially not become a target quickly, but the most important is your influence with others, ”said Mr. Bisson.
Unlike last year, this season’s candidates will not live 92 days in a manor in L’Île-Bizard, but rather in a gigantic 16,000 square foot studio converted into a custom house for the needs of the cause, said Jean-Martin Bisson.
Big Brother Celebrity starts this Sunday at 6.30 p.m. on Noovo.
