Big Brother isn't just a must watch show for reality tv lovers in the states. The show is hugely popular in the UK, Poland, Belgium, Norway, Spain, and Portugal (to name a few) as well. After debuting to much success in Canada last year, Big Brother is returning and season 2 casting gets underway today!

If you are at least 19 years old (by February 1, 2014), have a big personality, and are ready to compete, Big Brother Canada is looking for you. Applications can be filled out on the casting side, and tips for making a great video is available as well. Open calls will be held as well, for those who want to get in front of the casting directors.

Last May, Jillian McLaughlin won in a 4-3 vote against runner-up Gary Levy, but only because a juror voted for her by mistake. McLaughlin left the Big Brother house $100,000 richer, and also received a 2013 Chevy Trax and a $25,000 home makeover courtesy of The Brick. Levy, on the other hand, won a $20,000 prize for taking second place. The show was a hit, bringing in millions of viewers each night.

Big Brother Canada airs on the Slice Network, whose website features news, videos, and even an advice column. Fans can also watch the houseguests 24/7, just like the American version, by checking out the live feeds.
