Earning the respect of the jury for her gameplay, Sarah won the vote comfortably against runner-up Godfrey Mangwiza, taking seven of the votes to win out of a possible nine. She will take home the grand prize of $100,000, a $25,000 home shopping spree from The Brick, and a $10,000 trip of a lifetime courtesy of Twistos.
Runner-up Godfrey takes home $20,000 cash in addition to the $5,000 he won whilst in the house.
Following her win, Sarah said: "I honestly felt like I was going to be out every single week. It turned around when Brittnee used the Have Not super power and I won HOH right after - that's when I thought that I might have a shot to get to the end. I still can't believe it though, it's so surreal!"
Sarah struggled in the final three HOH competitions against Godfrey and Ashleigh Wood, and her fate was left in the hands of a man who up until this point hadn't tasted HOH victory. Securing himself a final two spot, Godfrey took Sarah to the finals and sent Ashleigh out to become the final member of the jury.
With the jury vote locked, Big Brother revealed that there was one final twist of the season - that the final three houseguests had been given the ability to unanimously eliminate a jury member and their vote.
Jordan Parhar was the jury member evicted, and so his vote for Sarah did not count - not that it mattered.
So what did you think of Big Brother Canada on Global? The series grew its audience by 40% over its sophomore season on Slice, and is expected to return next year.
