TORONTO, May 20, 2015 /CNW/ - Double eviction trouble hit the Big Brother Canada house in a nail-biting episode that sent Zach Oleynik (Regina, SK) and Pilar Nemer (Dartmouth, NS) straight to the jury house. There is just one week until Big Brother Canada's season three finale and the women are dominating, with Ashleigh, Brittnee, and Sarah standing alongside the lone man, and sleeping giant, Godfrey. Only one of the remaining houseguests will win the $100,000 grand prize. Big Brother Canada's final three episodes air this Sunday at 7pm ET/PT, Monday at 8pm ET/PT, and conclude with its two-hour season finale on Wednesday, May 27 at 8pm ET/PT on Global.

After their eviction, Zach and Pilar reunited on the Big Brother Canada Side Show to talk about tonight's double trouble. Pilar remarked, "Everything happens for a reason, I strongly believe in that. You have to be ready for absolutely anything on Big Brother. It's crazy, I'm shaking." Zach added, "The emotions are overwhelming in that house, everything is heightened, and leaving was one of the craziest things I've felt."

Following last week's super secret power that saved both Godfrey and Brittnee from eviction, resulting in Bruno's blindside, the houseguests competed in a hellish HOH competition that saw underdog, Sarah, take the win. Building on Queen B's former reign, Sarah set her sights on splitting up Zach and Ashleigh's showmance, nominating them both for eviction. Ashleigh went on to win the POV, saving herself from the chopping block, and Pilar (aka Pili) was nominated in her place. Ultimately, 22 year-old Captain Canada (Zach) kicked the can, and was sent home in a unanimous 3-0 vote.

The houseguests were shocked with another surprise from Arisa, informing them of a double eviction. Brittnee claimed the crown again, winning the HOH competition and securing her safety for another week. Queen B eyed the two remaining 'Diaper Alliance' members, Ashleigh and Pili, and nominated them for eviction before competing in the POV competition. Ashleigh won her second straight POV, saving herself, and forcing Brittnee to name Godfrey as the replacement nominee. With just two houseguests voting to evict, Brittnee was forced to make a tie-breaking vote after Ashleigh voted for Godfrey and Sarah voted for Pili. Queen B decided Godfrey was worth his weight in sleep and voted to evict 22 year-old Pilar Nemer, who joins Zach and the other six houseguests in the jury house.

Big Brother Canada's finale week will be nothing short of epic, with even more drama and deceit in store for the houseguests and the jury. Before Wednesday's finale, the Big Brother Canada Side Show is bringing fans an in-depth pre-show, with some extra special guests, on Tuesday, May 26 at 8pm ET on Slice.

Big Brother Canada's houseguests are competing for a grand prize of $100,000, a $25,000 gift card from The Brick, and a $10,000 trip of a lifetime courtesy of Twistos. Based on Endemol's worldwide hit franchise and in association with Shaw Media, Big Brother Canada is produced by Insight Production Company Ltd., an award-winning production company most recently honoured with an Academy Icon Award on its 35th anniversary by the Academy of Canadian Cinema & Television.
