LaSalle woman in battle to remain on Big Brother Canada

Will Monday night be the end of Tera Gillen-Petrozzi's tenure on Big Brother Canada?

Friends and family of the LaSalle woman are on tenterhooks after the woman, described as larger than life, was evicted from the Big Brother House on Thursday night. However, she has a chance to stay on if she beats Thursday night's other evictee, Jedson, in a new competition.

"It's almost like a carnival game," said Tera's husband, Ryan Petrozzi. "You have to roll balls up a slanted table, and get three balls into three different holes."

Petrozzi has not had contact with his wife since she entered the Big Brother house, a wilderness cottage, in February.

"They have all of her personal stuff, like her cell phone. All her social media has been kind of muted," he said. "All the house guests are in this bubble."

Petrozzi, like the rest of the show's viewers, finds out what is going on by watching the program, which airs Mondays at 9 p.m., Wednesdays at 7 p.m., and Thursdays at 9 p.m. on Global.

Gillen-Petrozzi applied to be on the show last summer. Before she was chosen as a contestant, she underwent several interviews.

Her husband told BlackburnNews.com she has always been a thrill-seeker who has travelled extensively and enjoys bungee-jumping.

The mother of two, a son who is eight and a four-year-old daughter, could win $100,000 if she is the last guest standing on the show's finale.
