CFL fans help save Ryan from Big Brother eviction

The #SaveRyan campaign actually worked.

3DownNation contributor and long-time CFL podcaster Ryan Ballantine is currently participating in the latest season of Big Brother Canada and was saved from possible eviction when 51 per cent of voters across the country cast online ballots in his favour.

Ballantine, co-host of the CFL Horseman podcast that covers the Calgary Stampeders, received plenty of support from the CFL’s strong social media community on Thursday and they were happy to celebrate the victory.

Anyway, Ryan and his magnificent beard live on inside the house. Though his chances of winning the $100,000 prize still aren’t great – he doesn’t seem to be part of any alliances – at least his CFL peeps have his back.
