An online journalist in Kamloops and former board operator at Radio NL has been chosen for this year’s edition of Big Brother Canada.

John-Luke Kieper of KamloopsBC Now will be one of 16 house guests when the show premieres on March 4. He submitted an application in the fall.

Season eight of the show, filmed in Toronto, airs on Global TV through the spring.

Also, fans can vote online right now to protect one of the 16 house guests from eviction in the show’s first week, and says house guests with the fewest votes “will find themselves in immediate danger.”

That voting page can be found here.
