Biography
Born and raised in Dana Point, Calif., Braden spends
his time surfing and has experience working as an international
model and an actor. This bachelor lists his favorite activities as
sleeping and talking to girls. He is a cocky surfer who,
ironically, is afraid of drowning. He constantly boasts about his
self-perceived intelligence, looks, charm and overall
desirability.
Braden calls himself a fashion icon and thinks anything creative is
totally rad; he even designs his own jewelry. But he hopes that he
is not placed in the house with "fashionistas who think they are
too cool for school." Braden has a very laid-back, California vibe
and is concerned that the stress levels in the house will mess up
his mellow personality. His fellow Houseguests may be thrown off by
Braden’s vocabulary as he tends to make up his own words.
Aside from winning the cash prize, Braden hopes to have new
experiences and gain the virtue of patience. He plans to win BIG
BROTHER by being two-faced.
Braden’s favorite color is blue (because, according to him, it
compliments his eyes) and his favorite food is sushi. His birth
date is September 13, 1980.

Biography
Fifth grade teacher by day and DJ by night, Casey will
rap for anyone on request. Funny, outgoing and intelligent, this
teacher is most proud of having a career where he has taught at
schools located in low-income areas for more than 15 years. He
takes great joy in knowing that he has the opportunity to work with
good kids who are not growing up in ideal situations.
Casey calls his wife "terrific" if for no other reason than she
puts up with him. An understanding woman, she will miss him during
his stay in the house, but she realizes that this is a
once-in-a-lifetime experience for Casey. He feels the most
difficult part about being in the house will be being away from his
family, and he is worried about the milestones he might miss in the
lives of his 19-year-old and nine month-old sons.
With the BIG BROTHER cameras surrounding him at all times, he is
quite nervous about his nose-picking habit. He's pretty sure that
the cameras will eventually catch him. Other than that, he really
doesn't have any fears and quips that there are only two things
that he is afraid of: his "wife and the IRS." He is looking forward
to getting outside of his comfort zone which will end up in
self-discovery, adventures and awesome experiences.
One of his life's mottos is, "refuse to lose," and if he encounters
any whiny people in the house, he will simply say, "life isn’t
fair. We’ve all had tough times. Suck it up and move on."
Casey's birth date is February 16, 1968.

Biography
This small-town girl's motto is to "live life to the
fullest, without holding back," and is certain that competing on
BIG BROTHER will have her doing just that. Unfortunately, her
naïveté may be her own undoing. Jordan is confident that no matter
what happens in the game, she will stay the same sweet person she’s
always been.
Easy-going and laid-back, Jordan says she’s game for anything,
short of eating an insect, but she's also always up for a challenge
and that’s something this game will surely give her.
It will be very hard for her to be apart from her mother and
brother for such a long time (she also has one sister), because she
is very close to them and describes her mother as an extremely
strong person who she considers her hero.
Jordan describes herself as an outgoing friend and party girl who
likes to hang out with her female friends -- all tools she’ll use
to gain the trust of her fellow Housemates and, if the situation
calls for it, she'll flirt with the guys for votes. But she won't
have sex on television, or as she calls it, "bugger," because her
grandpa will be watching the show.
With nothing in her hometown holding her back, she is ready to play
the game and ready to be the last Houseguest standing.
Jordan's birth date is November 21, 1986.

Biography
Kevin's proudest accomplishment comes from one of the
most trying times in his life, growing up a Jehovah's Witness. He
was eventually excommunicated at age 21. Cut off from his family
and friends, he didn’t let it destroy him. Instead, he found
happiness and thrived. He currently works as a graphic
designer.
People are sometimes thrown off by his exotic look and cannot
determine what nationality he is. He affectionately calls himself
"blackanese" as a tribute to his African-American and Japanese
heritage. He describes himself as ghetto, fabulous and
inappropriate, and warns his fellow Houseguests that, although he
doesn't have a temper, he can get bitchy. He knows how to find the
slightest flaw in a person and magnify it for all to see.
Kevin believes the most difficult part of the game will be its
duration, but he’ll overcome it by setting mini goals and pacing
himself. He’s also not too proud to throw a few battles if it means
winning the war. After growing up in the closet, he knows he has
the tools to deceive anyone who gets in his way.
Aside from the money, he has a bigger prize in mind: it's his hope
that somewhere the parents with whom he lost touch can smile
knowing what their now grown-up son has accomplished.
Kevin’s birth date is September 18, 1979.

Biography
This 21-year-old bikini model knows how attractive she
is and uses it to her every advantage. Laura is very active and
enjoys working out, cheerleading, kickboxing, running and
gymnastics. She feels that her determination and sassy, outgoing
attitude will get her far in the game.
She finds her work as a model rewarding due to the fact that she is
able to meet fascinating people, has received crazy gift offers and
has been able to travel to amazing places for free. This work has
resulted in her appearance in several tanning product
advertisements and gave her the opportunity to win the 2008 Planet
Beach Title (a pageant) where she also competed in the World
Finals.
She enjoys going out at least once a weekend. She doesn't feel that
she is extremely temperamental but, once while out and about, she
went toe-to-toe with a woman who gave her a nasty attitude. She
can’t stand when people attempt to make her feel inferior.
While in the house, she plans to live in her bikini (which will
surely show off a lower back tattoo that she refers to as her
"Tramp Stamp") and feels that her body will be her secret weapon.
For her, the hardest part of being confined in the house will be
abstaining from sex.
Unafraid to hurt feelings, lie or manipulate in order to win, she
feels that her advantage is that she is a genuine BIG BROTHER fan
who truly knows how to play the game -- she can even name the Head
of Household winners from every season.
Laura’s birth date is December 21, 1987.

down.

Biography
Known to his friends as "Russell the Lovemuscle," this
commercial real-estate broker is certain to be a favorite in the
BIG BROTHER house. Loud and brash, Russell holds nothing back and
is always ready for a fight. In fact, his brash personality is
probably his biggest asset outside the house, where he is a mixed
martial arts fighter. He claims nothing scares him and that
includes the game of BIG BROTHER.
Russell's biggest pet peeve is people who don’t think before they
act, but only because he's made mistakes while doing just that. In
college, he was in a motorcycle accident while trying to impress a
group of girls. The crash left him temporarily paralyzed and it
took six surgeries to get him back into fighting form.
Now Russell is ready to tackle a new form of competition against
his fellow Houseguests. It's a challenge and he'll do with a smile
on his face because, according to Russell, "if you’re not smiling,
you’re not living."
Russell has previously lived in Southern California and Lebanon.
His birth date is September 1, 1984.
