‘Big Brother Canada’ exclusive: Exec John Brunton dishes on casting, major season 2 twist
We’re back with another edition of our weekly “Big Brother Canada” season 2 series, and this time we have an exclusive chat with someone who knows the reality TV business inside and out. John Brunton has an extensive resume working in the genre as the head of Insight Productions, which was also responsible (for those curious) for the excellent “The Amazing Race Canada” this summer. So there is really no one better equipped to talk with about the first season of the franchise north of the border, and also the planning process for the upcoming season.
For a point of reference, this interview is largely casting-based thanks to it being conducted at the the casting call in Toronto earlier this month, but there is also some scoop on challenge production and a MAJOR hint at a twist that is going to be coming your way when the show returns next year.
How has the creative process been so far? Have you been enjoying the brainstorming?
We have a MAJOR theme that we are working on this year. I can’t reveal it to you, but it’s something that I don’t think that anyone has ever seen on a ‘Big Brother’ show in the United States or Canada. It’s a major, major thing that we’re pulling off. We’re going to do something at the beginning that again, nobody’s ever seen on any ‘Big Brother’ anywhere. It will have a huge involvement with Canadians all across the country, and it’s going to be shocking to the houseguests. They’re going to be freaked out.
