Kevin Ted Jacobs is the winner of Big Brother Canada 10.
Despite being placed under the block as a replacement nominee on the first week, Kevin showed his tactical skills by convincing the house to instead evict the other nominee, Melina Mansing, by using her own words against her. While he never won any Head of Household competitions, along with his closest ally Haleena Gill as part of his secret alliance called The Ghosts, he played under the radar and manipulated other houseguests to do his bidding, with often times against their best interests. Because of his non-threatening status, he was taken by Josh Nash to the final two. The jury respected his great social game and strategic skills, which led to Kevin's victory by a landslide vote of 8-1.
