For the first time in BBCAN history, the Executive Veto twist claims the game of Saint John, New Brunswick's Vivek Sabbarwal, as he has been evicted from the Big Brother Canada studios. The week began with two-time pawn star, North Bay's Elijah "Goose" Kazlauskas, flying from the block to the top as the Head of Household. Goose nominated Happy Valley-Goose Bay, Newfoundland and Labrador's Todd Clements and Ottawa's Tola Eam for eviction with a backdoor plan in place, but when POV winner, Toronto's Lexus Jackson, chose not to use the Veto and keep the nominees the same, his plan was washed away.

Next, host Arisa Cox calls an executive board meeting to order and shocks the houseguests by revealing the missing Executive Veto. She then shares how someone will gain its unprecedented power by surviving the Chain of Rejection, which started with HOH Elijah choosing the first houseguest he did not want to win the Executive Veto, forcing the others to do the same until Hamilton's Victoria "Spicy Vee" Woghiren was the last one standing and thus promoted to Executive Veto holder. As Executive Veto holder, Spicy Vee had the power to overturn one of HOH Elijah's current nominations, giving that same nominee the ability to name the houseguest who would replace them on the block. In true spicy fashion, Victoria chose to use the Executive Veto to take Todd off the block, who then named Vivek as his replacement. For the first time ever, the houseguests then had to cast their votes face-to-face. With Tola and Vivek on the block, the houseguests evicted Vivek, the third consecutive houseguest voted out by a blindside of 8 to 0.

"I kind of expected it. The votes and the way the houseguests are playing right now, they don't want to shuffle what's going on with their alliances. They don't want to create that divide." - Vivek Sabbarwal
