Kevin Martin

Kevin Robert Martin is the winner of Big Brother Canada 5. He previously competeted on Big Brother Canada 3.

Regarded as a favorite to win the game by fans and fellow houseguests, Kevin was known for his reserved and secretive gameplay where he was difficult to read and where his true intentions became ambiguous. This benefited him as many houseguests were prone to confiding in him big secrets and information that he would keep to himself, without offering back his own secrets. After winning POV in week 2 when he was the target, he was able to lay low for a couple weeks with the help of getting into a serious showmance with alliance member, Pilar. Despite his abilities, his membership with the Diaper Alliance made him a big target, and he was unable to escape eviction during the Triple Eviction.

In Big Brother Canada 5, Kevin was best known for his relationship with William Laprise Desbiens, bromance with Bruno Ielo, his rivalry with Demetres Giannitsos during the later stages, and his dominance in mental competitions. Kevin got into a big alliance early on, and stayed under the radar for the first half of the game. However, the alliance splintered once the jury phase began. After losing his core allies, Kevin was all alone and made the main target. However, he managed to win the remaining HoHs he was eligible to compete in and two must win POVs. His numerous competition wins, likability and the jury's lack of respect for fellow finalist Karen Singbeil won him the game. He won in a unanimous 9-0 vote, thus making him the first Big Brother Canada winner and second overall winner to win in a unanimous vote. Kevin managed to win several competitions, most of them in the latter part of the game. He won 3 HoHs and 4 PoVs thus making him the second Big Brother Canada HouseGuest to win seven competitions.
