Jillian MacLaughlin is the winner of Big Brother Canada 1.

Jillian was known for backstabbing and breaking deals with many houseguests throughout the game. She also proved herself to be a competition threat winning 4 HOHs. Early in the game Jillian formed a romantic relationship with Emmett Blois, and the pair became a dominant force in the house as part of the East Coast Alliance along with Andrew Monaghan and Talla Rajaei. Through all this Jillian was able to make it to the final 2. In the final vote of the season, Jillian ended up receiving Andrew, Emmett and Talla’s jury votes along with Topaz Brady’s infamous vote, where she accidentally voted for Jillian. In the end Jillian ended up becoming the first winner of Big Brother Canada by a final jury vote of 4-3.

Trivia[]

  • Jillian is one of the four houseguests to go on to win the game without winning any of the three parts of the last HOH competition. The others were Maggie Ausburn, Sarah Hanlon, and Taylor Hale.

  • Jillian holds the record for the most HOH wins for a Canadian female with 4.
  • Jillian was the first Canadian houseguest to win HOH in the first part of a Double Eviction and then again after it happened. She would be followed by Sarah Hanlon and Erica Hill.

    • She is the only Big Brother winner to receive a vote to win accidentally.
  • Jillian is the third player not to be nominated for eviction until they failed to win the final HoH, after Danielle Reyes and Jason Guy. They were followed by Derrick Levasseur, Anthony Douglas, Enzo Palumbo (on Big Brother 22), Todrick Hall and Bowie Jane Ball.
  • Jillian is the first female houseguest to beat a male houseguest in the Final Two in Big Brother history.
