Bruno Ielo was a houseguest on Big Brother Canada 3 and Big Brother Canada 5.
Pegged as a dark horse to win his season, Bruno surrounded himself around big targets in the game, such as Graig Merritt, Bobby Hlad and Zach Oleynik. Bruno is noted for his under-the-radar manipulation of his allies and his use of targeted players as shields (such as saving Zach during Triple Eviction with his Power of Veto). However, he was also prone to paranoia and scrambling whenever a close ally was in jeopardy, a flaw that led to his downfall. Bruno ultimately lost the game after a heated argument with the Fembots (Sarah Hanlon and Brittnee Blair). Unbeknownst to him, Brittnee won a Coup d'Etat like power, and overthrew Ashleigh Wood's nominations and replaced them with Zach and Bruno. Bruno was then evicted in a unanimous 4-0 vote. He came in 7th place. He was originally the 6th member of the jury, but when Jordan Parhar was evicted from the jury by Sarah, he became the fifth member of the jury.
He returned in Big Brother Canada 5, and relatively kept the strategy that worked in his prior season with aligning and bonding with the males, more specifically, Kevin, Dillon and Demetres. Being a part of the Core Six alliance kept him safe up until the jury phase, where the alliance self-imploded in the double eviction. After allies Neda and Sindy left, he found himself targeted by his former allies. In week 7, he was nominated as a pawn against his last remaining ally Kevin. However, after William Laprise Desbiens used the Secret Power of Veto on Kevin, Bruno became the main target. He was evicted in a 5-1 vote, placing 9th and becoming the third member of the Jury.
