It’s rare that one of the roommates Big Brother Celebrities be so unanimous on the first day, before the coronation of the first boss.
Barely entering the casino-themed house-studio on Sunday evening, Patsy Gallant was overwhelmed by screams, whistles and encouragement. The 75-year-old disco queen, connected to 220, was unanimously adopted by the 15 other participants, who form the most interesting and diverse vintage of the four seasons of Noovo’s reality show.
The great Patsy Gallant, who had sworn to me that she would never get stuck in this popular television show, however began to play very quickly – and very big – by sticking to her “sugar daddy” Bastos, a French model and YouTuber unknown on this side of the Atlantic. Bastos, who has done all the reality shows in France (Secret Story, Love Island), is the equivalent of our Kevin Lapierre, let’s say, but less likeable.
This is a surprising and dangerous strategy on the part of Patsy Gallant. If she wishes to maintain her capital of sympathy, the oldest singer of Big Brother Celebrities will have to better choose who she associates with (Bastos has no chance of winning, let’s be honest).
Her comrades won’t protect her forever. And they will eventually oust him, even if they love his eccentricity and his outspokenness.
By hanging the boss’s first key around his neck, RDS host and ex-mixed martial arts fighter Patrick Côté declared that the reign of comedians was going to be broken, giving way to the domination of athletes. With in particular Charles Hamelin, Olympic champion in speed skating, and Frédérique Turgeon, Paralympic athlete in alpine skiing.

Comics, Big Brother Celebrities has recruited several more, including the screenwriter and actor Daniel Savoie, alias the hockey player Patrice Lemieux, the comedian Mélanie Ghanimé, the actress Erika Suarez (discovered in After the flood), Energy host Dave Morgan and drag queen Barbada from Barbados, who won’t be speaking to children here, so don’t waste your time protesting in front of the premises of Bell Media, owner of Noovo.
In 90 minutes, a first strong alliance was formed, that of the twins, between the TikToker Pascale de Blois and the YouTuber Gabrielle Marion, who documented each stage of her transition on social networks. It must be said that these two young women knew each other very well before choosing their single bed in the multi-colored rooms.
The actress Joëlle Paré-Beaulieu, alias the farmer Nathalie in 5e Rank, could prove to be a formidable candidate. She is funny, endearing, agile (long live improv!) and understands the workings of this game which is both strategic and physical. This is my favorite so far. Pascale de Blois is also very entertaining.
We could also witness a rapprochement between the “bros” of the house, namely content creator Danick Martineau, Daniel Savoie, Pat Côté, Charles Hamelin and Dave Morgan.
The fashion axis, formed by the designer Jean Airoldi (who did not wear his jacket with big eyes) and the ex-model Ève Salvail, did not particularly shine on Sunday evening. Mélanie Ghanimé, who nevertheless has a strong personality, did not stand out from the crowd either.
Entitled “colorful”, the first challenge to which the 16 stars were subjected was really boring. A children’s version of paintball, which has been remade four times, for four different cohorts of competitors. It quickly became repetitive and boring. As for the finale of this challenge, it contained no suspense and no excitement. As a starting game, it was pretty lousy. Disappointment.
At the animation of Big Brother Celebrities, Marie-Mai does a very good job. She collects the balls as she bounces and uses all the elements sent to her by the competitors. Her bold, avant-garde looks are now part of our Sunday ritual. For her premiere night, Marie-Mai wore a transparent, “powdered glacier” mermaid dress by Australian designer Dion Lee.

The addition of the full-length screen mirror in the living room of the house, a nice novelty, also highlighted Marie-Mai’s magnificent gloved outfit.

For the moment, very few details have filtered out on the usefulness of the tokens that the candidates will accumulate over the weeks. They even have safety deposit boxes to store these precious coins, which will serve as individual currency, revealed Marie-Mai.
Obviously, the playful aspect of Big Brother was reinforced with the addition of a mini golf course, as well as several decorative elements evoking various games (dominoes, cards, dice). Intriguing.
A wall containing 25 pairs of glasses was also installed, without any sponsor (impossible!) being officially attached to it. What will these glasses be used for? Probably to see more clearly in the game of Patsy Gallant which, despite the respect she commands, remains vague and confused.
