The first ever BIG BROTHER Canada is in the record books and after all was said and done, after all the slop and slander, the competitions and deceptions.... we are worn straight out!!! But also very pleased to announce the winner is an Atlantic Canadian.

BIG CONGRATULATIONS to New Glasgow, Nova Scotia's own JILLIAN MacLAUGHLIN!!!

I'm not afraid to post it – I LOVE BIG BROTHER!

It's a guilty pleasure that has me glued to the tube 3 nights a week...every summer! So you can imagine how excited I was to discover we'll be getting an extra dose and this time it's from our side of the border.

Now after months of searching the nation they've finalized the list of house guests – and of the 15 lucky – 3 hail from Canada's great East Coast!

Jillian MacLaughlin – a 27 year old teacher from New Glasgow, NS,

Andrew Monaghan - a 38 year old who hails from Corner Brook, NL but who hangs his hat in Halifax, NS

and Emmett Blois – a 24 year old dairy farmer from Gore, Hants County, NS

We'll be tuning in when the show premieres next Wednesday February 27th at 9pm and just like BIG BROTHER US - the show plays out 3 nights a week - on Wednesdays at 9pm ET/PT, Thursdays at 10pm ET/PT and Sundays at 9pm ET/PT, with live eviction episodes on Thursdays – only on SLICE.

Canadian TV personality Arisa Cox will play "the part" of Julie Chen – hosting until 14 are evicted and 1 house guest remains to score the grand prize of $100,000, a $25,000 gift card to The Brick and a brand new Chevrolet Trax... and is, of course, named the 1st ever champion of BIG BROTHER CANADA
