Loft Story (Canadian TV series)

This article is about the Canadian series prior to 2010. For the Canadian version since 2010, see Big Brother (Quebec). For the version in France, see Loft Story (France).
The logo of the 4th season of Loft Story.

Loft Story was a Quebec television series broadcast on the TQS television network, and was an adaptation of the show Loft Story in France, which itself was an adaptation of the Big Brother franchise. TQS became V and replaced Loft Story with a new Big Brother series for Quebec in 2010.

During the first season (2003), the show had TVA's Occupation Double as its main competitor, and was a success in terms of viewership, but was not as financially successful as the French version. Therefore, the program was discontinued the following season, but was resurrected three years later in January 2006. In response to criticism of year 1, year 2 toned down the sexual content and replaced it with daily games and truth/dare events. The loft was also changed to include a "stunt room" the size of a basketball court, which serves for games and entertainment. A third season started in September 2006, a fourth on September 26, 2007, a fifth in Fall 2008 and an All-Star season subtitled La Revanche in Spring 2009.

  • ^2 On Day one six females and seven males entered – this meant that the gender balances were unequal, and the women were asked to Evict one of the men. They chose Mathieu and he secretly moved into a Secret Room. After three days he returned and, in return, won $1,000 and immunity from the first Nominations.
  • ^3 As survivor of the eviction, Steve was allowed to give Immunity o a female Housemate – he chose Isabella and she was Immune this Week.
  • ^4 Survivor Elisabetta gave Immunity to Alexandre.
  • ^5 This week all the men automatically faced the Public Vote to evict. Jean-François was evicted with the most Public Votes.
  • ^6 Benoît today was voted back into the house by the public. However, whether he could stay and become a Housemate again eligible to win, depended on the other Housemates. Each Housemate had to vote on whether he should stay or leave. Only if everyone voted for him to stay would he be able to stay. The result was 6 votes to 1 for him to stay, the person voting against was Maxime. As the vote was not unanimous, Benoît had to leave the house again.
  • ^7 The two survivors – Elisabetta and Stéphanie – were given the power this week to save one male Housemate from eviction. They chose to save Maxime and Étienne respectively – which left Alexandre and Mathieu to face the Public Vote.

The winners of the second season were Mathieu Baron and Stéphanie Bélanger. Each of them won a car and $50,000. The other participants were Dominique Julien (finalist), Maxime Hébert (finalist), Steve Carrier, Nancy Bouzi, Lysandre Maillot-Perron, Jean-François Janelle, Isabelle Perreault, Étienne Gagnon, Elisabetta Fantone, Benoît Marier and Alexandre Ouellet.

^8 Claude-Alexandre and Geneviève were taking part in a secret mission, and as a result were exempt from this round of nominations. As Isabelle received most nominations, this means that Males will be given automatic immunity for following day.
^9 Since Day 1, Claude-Alexandre and Geneviève were taking part in a secret mission, which later included Jason, as the mission has completed, it was announced that one of them must go, and the housemates voted to evict either Claude-Alexandre, Geneviève or Jason, they were not permitted to vote. Even though evicted, Maude was allowed to nominate.
^10 This week housemates voted twice, first, to determine the first nominee, then, second time, to determine the second nominee. Initially it was Isabelle and Kevin who had the most votes, but after Geneviève won the Power of Veto, she was able to save one of the nominees and she chose to save Kevin, she could also replace the nominee, and she choose Manuel.
^11 Cynthia Sc and Kevin were immune as they are the current Heads of House. This week only the males could be nominated, meaning that all the females were immune. In the recent Canadian General Election there was a 58% turnout. The Master (Big Brother) decided that there should be a 58% turnout in the nominations, meaning that only 6 Housemates were allowed to nominate. Cynthia Sc and Kevin, the Heads of House, had to choose the 6 Housemates that could nominate and they chose themselves, Arcadio, Geneviève, Manuel and Mihaela. This meant that Charles-Éric, Cynthia Sa, Jason, Myriam and Rémi were not allowed to nominate.
^12 During last week, Jason broke a number of rules and was put up for eviction. The public could choose either to evict him, punish him for the next 3 week, or punish the whole house, the public choose to evict him. Arcadio was also evicted, but as Jason was previously evicted, Arcadio was given the power to bring either himself, or Jason back into the house, and he choose himself, therefore he is now a full housemate again.
^13 This week all housemates automatically faced the public vote, Arcadio, Cynthia Sa, Geneviève, Manuel and Rémi won immunity, meaning that Charles-Éric, Cynthia Sa, Kevin, Mihaela and Myriam faced the public vote.
^14 Claude-Alexandre re-entered the house Loft as a Mole for The Master, he cannot win, but can be nominated and evicted, as it is unknown whether he is exempt or not. As Head of House, Geneviève was immune from this eviction.
^15 Kevin won 'eternal immunity' which gave him a free pass to the finale. Cynthia Sc obtained 'eternal nomination', which gave her automatic nomination for the rest of her stay.
^16 Mihaela was immune as she was the current Head of House.
^17 This week, the public were nominating, and the housemate were evicting, Arcadio and Cynthia Sa received the most public votes and were nominated for eviction.
^18 The public was voting for who to win.
