Jillian MacLaughlin is the winner of Big Brother Canada 1.

She is known for backstabbing and blindsiding many houseguests throughout the game. Jillian formed a romantic relationship with Emmett Blois early in the game, and the pair became a dominant force in the house as part of the East Coast Alliance along with Andrew and Talla. In the final vote of the season, Jillian gained votes from Emmett, Talla, Andrew and (accidentally) Topaz, becoming the first winner of Big Brother Canada.

Biography

Jillian & Emmett's promotion shot for the Amazing Race Canada 4

• Jillian previously dated fellow houseguest Emmett Blois.
• Jillian competed with Emmett as "Exes" on The Amazing Race Canada 4. They made it to the final leg and finished in second.

Trivia

• Jillian is one of the three houseguests to go on to win the game without winning any of the three parts of the last HOH competition. The other was Maggie Ausburn and Sarah Hanlon.
  • However, Jillian is the first Canadian houseguest to accomplish this feat.
• Jillian won the most Head of Household competitions during the season: winning in Week 2, Week 7, Week 8 and Week 10.
• Her victory was the source of controversy, as Topaz had not intended to vote for her to win, accidentally voting for her instead of Gary.
• Jillian is the fourth player not to be nominated for eviction after Danielle Reyes, Jason Guy, and Derrick Levasseur, though she along with the other three was nominated by default when she failed to win the final HoH.
• She is the first female houseguest to beat a male houseguest in the Final Two in Big Brother history.
  • However, if Topaz didn't vote incorrectly, Gary would've won.
• Jillian was in the Big Brother 15 press day.
• Jillian never received an eviction vote.
• Jillian is the first female and first houseguest to win Big Brother Canada.
