Career
Jaffer began his career at the age of 22 shortly after the announcement of Big Brother Canada. He attended an open casting call in Toronto, Ontario for the show, and did not receive a call back. He then decided that if he couldn't be a part of the cast, he could still do his part to cover the show. In October 2012 he launched BBCanadaInsider.com

In January of 2013, Cooney contacted the Public Relations team at Big Brother Canada to inquire about the possibility of attending live evictions, and interviewing evicted houseguests. To his surprise, they obliged and kick started his career in journalism.

Beginning February of 2013, Cooney began attending live tapings of Big Brother Canada and conducting telephone interviews with evicted contestants of the popular reality show. He is the only known freelance "fan blogger" to have attended the launch party, all live episode tapings (including episode 1), the live finale, interviewed each contestant following their eviction, as well as conduct back yard interviews, day after finale interviews, attend the reunion show, and interview them separately on his live youtube show. Many other have done one or two of these things, but no one else has done them all, and delivered that kind of in depth coverage.

Cooney is now expanding and begining to involve himself and his in many other reality shows such as Survivor, Big Brother US, Whodunnit, and The Amazing Race, while anxiously awaiting future seasons of Big Brother Canada
