All Beginning This Thursday, July 5 @ 8pm ET/PT
( Toronto) Go BIG, or go HOME...the summer’s hottest reality brand comes to Global Television, packed with all new twists. This season, contestants are locked in the BIG BROTHER house with their real-life rivals - so it's fight or flight, as the housemates must decide to play nice, or roll with the ensuing chaos.

Along with Host, Julie Chen, the 8th season of this reality-TV stalwart makes its Global debut Thursday, July 5 – 8pm ET/PT. Airing three times weekly, viewers can tune into BIG BROTHER every Sunday and Thursday at 8pm ET/PT and every Tuesday at 9pm ET/PT.

Deep inside the bizarre “Alice in Wonderland” themed house, this season features the highs and lows of 14 housemates as they embark upon an emotionally draining three month stay. All vying for the $500,000 cash prize, each housemate will be tested beyond their limits – if they don’t walk out first.

Now, for the first time ever, Global Television, in partnership with LiveHive Systems, offers BB viewers nationwide the chance to interact through a unique online community game designed to quiz fans about the drama that unfolds throughout each episode - adding boundless digital depth to the Big Brother experience. In addition to weekly giveaways, one lucky participant will be awarded the grand prize – a trip for two to the BIG BROTHER 8 wrap party in Los Angeles. Fans need only sign-up at Canada.com and tune in to the LIVE broadcasts to win these amazing prizes. Complete details at www.globaltv.com/bigbrother.
