Nikki Grahame: 'We should bring Big Brother Canada's game playing to the UK'


"I think it would really stir things up."

Big Brother star Nikki Grahame has suggested that the Canadian format of the show should be tried out in the UK - complete with lots of gameplaying. Nikki recently competed in Big Brother Canada, which is completely different to the UK series. 

As with Big Brother USA, the show in Canada is much more tactical, with housemates encouraged to discuss nominations and scheme to evict their fellow housemates – and there is no public vote. "It's so different," Nikki told Digital Spy. 

"It was a completely different show, if I'm honest. You have to go in there with a game plan, and here in the UK you get thrown out if you've got a game plan!

"So it was just so different, and if I was ever to do it again I'd be so much more prepared for it." 

Nikki explained that she'd watched the second season of Big Brother Canada but added: "Until you're actually in there you just don't know how it's going to feel, and it was so, so stressful and so cut-throat.

"I honestly just didn't think I'd last, and I lasted two months, and then I was put in the Jury House [where evicted housemates live before picking the show's winner]. I mean, I did try and escape three times…"

Nikki also revealed that while she was "upset" when her fellow housemate Tim Dormer voted to evict her, she's forgiven everyone in the house – with one exception. 

"Me and Tim [who previously appeared on Big Brother Australia] are really good friends and I'm going to go and visit him in Australia next year and we're going to go and do a mini road trip," she said. "I've forgiven all of them - that's why I'm not watching it, because I don't want to have any bad feeling towards any of them… 

I've been speaking to all of them and I will stay in touch with all of them – except Maddie. Ugh. No, thank you. She is just pure poison."

And now Nikki thinks there should be a swap between Big Brother Canada and Big Brother UK so we get the different, tactical version of the show - complete with a Head of House who controls the nominations. "I think it would really stir things up," she said. 

"I think they should do both! I think we should try the Big Brother UK in Canada and just see how it would work. We should swap them one year - I think that would be a great twist. 

"I think our housemates would get the gist of it. Me and Tim were just thrown into it and for the first few weeks we actually couldn't get our heads round it. We were like, 'What is this?' 

"It was so much more glitzy and glamorous and the costumes for the challenges - wow. But I mean, I was so rubbish in the challenges. The only thing I did was just wear the outfit and stand there or just lie there and have a little rest."
