One of Big Brother U.S.A.’s most respected and infamous players is calling the Canadian production out and laying down a public challenge.

“Until Big Brother Canada provides a cash prize that matches or exceeds other countries they will always be in the back seat,” said Will Kirby, the winner of Big Brother 2 in the States and fourth place finisher in its all-star season in 2006.

“My strong suggestion is that Big Brother Canada beg Big Brother U.S.A. for a nation versus nation matchup with a significant grand prize, then we’ll finally get to see who is the best reality contestant in North America.

“Let’s please agree to pay the prize out in American dollars though so I won’t experience any accounting (or) tax issues when I collect,” continued Kirby.

Big Brother Canada’s current grand prize is $100,000 and not taxable. In the U.S. series, the prize is $500,000, minus applicable taxes.

Kirby is a board-certified dermatologist and osteopathic physician who delivered his own son in 2010. He is known for the sophisticated, amusing mind games he played on other contestants, including coercing them to participate in a 24-hour fast for spiritual reasons and challenging the other house guests to vote him out during a famous veto meeting, just because.

Saying the Canadian producers are treating their viewers like “second-class citizens,” Kirby ripped into the series for having too many twists this season.

“As a general rule, I’m very much against twists. They undermine the integrity — is there even any integrity left? — of the game,” said Kirby known as “Doctor Evil” to fans. “Fans complain that there are no great strategists anymore, but it is nearly impossible to focus on an intellectual, emotional form of game play when a twist can upend weeks of hard work.

“Extremely boring individuals putting in virtually no effort have won the show and unfair twists have helped some and hurt others,” he added. “The series needs innovation and the low-hanging fruit are the twists, but any undeserved advantage only taints the entire unscripted television world.”

According to Kirby, Big Brother Canada will never be on par with its American counterpart. Acknowledging that he is speaking in “gross generalizations,” Kirby says that since the U.S. has a larger pool of potential contestants to choose from, Big Brother Canada has fewer qualified contestants. Also, he says Canadians are “unbelievably polite” while Americans are “more brash,” and Canadian players tend to be more verbally and physically reserved.

Fans of Big Brother Canada this season have complained that the house guests are boring, only participating in interesting activities at Big Brother’s prompting, and that game play and strategies are for the most part docile and tedious. Of the 11 house votes this season, seven have been unanimous and a large number of players allowed a transparent alliance to dominate the game unchallenged for almost two months.

Over the weekend, Kirby got the immediate attention of fans on both sides of the border by targeting Big Brother Canada on Twitter.

“Probably time for everyone to acknowledge the obvious: @BigBrotherCA exists only to warm up viewers waiting for @CBSBigBrother to air,” Kirby wrote.

The official Big Brother Canada Twitter account responded to Kirby, saying he was drinking “haterade” and that part of the reason they are proud of their production is that it honours past American players.

“@DrWillKirby not saying you’re not a good player. Saying we do it because of legacy left by players like you,” wrote Big Brother Canada.

Former Big Brother Canada contestant Anuj “AJ” Burman and Season 2 winner Jon Pardy were also drawn into the fray.

Kirby confessed to the Star the entire back and forth was just a way for him to provide amusing content to his followers.

Kirby has since deleted his Tweets, leaving some fans confused.

“I use some of my social media accounts in a very temporary manner. I personally don’t want my Twitter account to reflect some specific tweets depending on the topic or content,” he told his followers. “I’m surprised that the Big Brother Canada Twitter team got drawn into a fight in the first place, but it doesn’t benefit me to leave evidence of their embarrassment up long-term. I’m not a vindictive person. So, it’s fun to poke at them and get them riled up, but the fun is only in the moment.”

The next episode of Big Brother Canada airs Monday at 8 p.m. on Global with the finale Wednesday at 8 p.m.
