Cassandra Shahinfar was a houseguest on Big Brother Canada 4 and Big Brother Canada 5.
Throughout Big Brother Canada 4, Cassandra played a deceitful and cunning game by floating in the middle. She had connections with everybody in the house and was able to talk to and convince anyone and everyone to make moves that bettered her own game. She was feared for her abilities as a convincing campaigner and her ability to sway people's votes from week to week.
Cassandra played a clean game until Week 9 when she was crowned HoH and decided to make a big move in the game by targeting and evicting Jared. The next week, she struggled and fought much harder to remain in the game by manipulating her fellow houseguests. In Week 10, she managed to defy the odds and survive eviction against Joel, however, she was evicted the following week by the sole vote from Kelsey, placing 4th and becoming the eighth member of the jury.
She returned in Big Brother Canada 5 and formed a not-so-secret alliance with her former nemesis Dallas, as well as a new ally in Gary. After the house almost flipped to evict Demetres solely to detriment her game in the first week, she knew she was in severe trouble, and that the other veterans were targeting her. Since Demetres did not want to backdoor her in the second week, she was spared, though lost her ally Dallas. When Neda won HOH in the third week, Cassandra was nominated and targeted, despite trying to make amends with her, and with the assistance of Ika. After a week of tough campaigning, she was unanimously voted out on an 11-0 vote, placing 14th.
Because of her ability to manipulate, her social game, and strategic gameplay, she is regarded as one of the greatest Big Brother Canada houseguests.
