The Houseguests
Audrey Middleton
Age: 25
Hometown: Villa Rica, Georgia
Current City: Villa Rica, Georgia
Occupation: Digital media consultant
PREDICTION: Jury
Austin Matelson
Age: 30
Hometown: Woodland Hills, California
Current City: Woodland Hills, California
Occupation: Professional wrestler
Big personalities are a killer in this game. Austin certainly has a big personality. By looks alone, this former WWE wrestler is the odd man out this season. But unlike last season's Donny, Austin may not be as likeable due to his brazenness. And top hat. And split personality. On the flip side, he could use his “celebrity” to wow. Austin is the epitome of wildcard. But for me, he's a goner. Sorry pal, you're expendable.
PREDICTION: Pre-jury
Becky Burgess
Age: 26
Hometown: Denver, Colorado
Current City: Denver, Colorado
Occupation: Retail manager
Becky is the generic pretty girl. She's more of a Jessie than an Aaryn and could get lost in the fold. She seems completely harmless which could work in her favor. That being said, she will get used and abused in her alliance because she's so sweet. Finding the right people to work with will be Becky's key to success. But unless she has some tricks hidden up her sleeve, Becky will receive the fate of those like her who got mid season boots.
PREDICTION: Pre-jury
Clay Honeycutt
Age: 23
Hometown: Dickinson, Texas
Current City: College Station, Texas
Occupation: Graduate student at Texas A&M
Well someone's got a pretty face! Clay looks like he'll be the object of every lady's (and maybe some guys) affection. Clay has that million-dollar smile with that appealing southern charm. Clay seems to be a genuine good guy, like a Cody from BB16. Will he experience the same fate and only be worthy of the nice guy number 2 prize? Clay is athletic, which is always important in the Big Brother house. Don't be shocked if he gets approached by nearly everyone in the house for an alliance. This could be something good or hurt him right off the bat if the ones he doesn't pick get wind, and numbers. Clay will go far. Finals or close to it.
PREDICTION: Finals
Da'Vonne Rogers
Age: 27
Hometown: Inglewood, California
Current City: Los Angeles
Occupation: Poker dealer
Da'Vonne has fight in her. She has a poker background, but unlike Vanessa, she's on the other side of the table, thought she claims that she is a great poker player. She's a strategist and knows it. She could fly under the radar if she is smart but if she’s loud, she’s lost. As long as she is read right, she will go pretty far. See her in the jury house and bitter about it.
PREDICTION: Jury
Jace Agolli
Age: 23
Hometown: Dunwoody, Georgia
Current City: Venice Beach
Occupation: Personal trainor
Filling the double Hayden quota (and the Jase quota for that matter), Jace is chill and fun and a complete non-threat. He seems the physical edge that others do not with a hidden smart side with a way with words. He seems like he'll be a blast and win over the house instantly. If he plays it cool, he’s good until the end. But I don’t see that happening. He seems like a player from the start and that could be bad move.
PREDICTION: Jury
James Huling
Age: 31
Hometown: Sumter, South Carolina
Current City: Wichita Falls, Texas
Occupation: Retail associate
James seems to have shopped around Donny's closet before entering the Big Brother house. His story is intriguing. And he is not a stereotype whatsoever. If he plays his cards right, he'll garner some love and sympathy. He also has potential to rub certain people the wrong way with his Southern ways if he boasts about it. As long as James finds the right people to align with, James has a real shot. Physically not a threat, James needs to blend in. And he has the camo to do so.
PREDICTION: Jury
Jason Roy
Age: 25
Hometown: Fall River, Massachusetts
Current City: Swansea, Massachusetts
Occupation: Supermarket cashier
Oh Jason. You are a goofball. I have a feeling he'll bring the entertainment of the season. Jason is certainly a charmer with a high-pitched Massachusetts accent and I see him buddying up to the ladies. But thinking he can lead an all-girls alliance is quite hilarious. He knows the game inside and out but he lacks the physical aspect to bring him far. Jason will suffer the Zach-effect. Be brought along for entertainment but cut short (pun intended) when the numbers start dwindling.
PREDICTION: Jury
John McGuire
Age: 27
Hometown: Scranton, Pennsylvania
Current City: Jefferson Township, Pennsylvania
Occupation: Dentist
John, a superfan, is a dentist. Unless you're also a dentist, no one likes you. John is a self-proclaimed king of nicknames, which proves his ego. And let’s not start on that laugh. He has aura of a Jeremy or Nick from 15. If he gets loud and obnoxious, he will be out of the house faster than he can belt the chorus of "Dentist" (That's a Little Shop of Horrors reference). He seems like he might be athletic, but ego looks like his downfall. He could go far if he’s quiet, but I don't see that happening, so he’s a likely early boot.
PREDICTION: Pre-jury
Liz Nolan
Age: 23
Hometown: Miami
Current City: Miami
Occupation: Marketing coordinator
Meet your Season 17 Victoria. To put it nicely, Liz looks clueless but claims she's a brainiac. She looks like a ticking time bomb of emotion. If she finds a group to bond with, she'll float pretty far. If she has a mental breakdown because she can't handle the stress and rigor of the game, she's a goner. I think she'll be liked to a point before she's thrown to the hounds. She's either being tossed right before or after the jury sessions. Unless she flirts her way to the top.
PREDICTION: Pre-jury
Meg Maley
Age: 25
Hometown: Collingswood, New Jersey
Current City: New York City
Occupation: Server
Meg is a server in NYC which is code for Meg is an actress. This could work in her favor. Put that BFA to the test! Meg is extremely likeable and has the ability to be a chameleon, blending into the character others need her to be. While this is a strong strategy, some may view this as floating and we all know the fate of floaters in the Big Brother house! Oh wait, never mind, the floater theory was debunked last season (cough cough Victoria). Bearing she allows some of the bigger personalities take the early fall, Meg can definitely make it to jury. Beyond that, she'll be a target because she could be tough to vote against in the finals.
PREDICITON: Finals
Shelli Poole
Age: 33
Hometown: Marietta, Georgia
Current City: Atlanta
Occupation: Interior designer
In this group, Shelli is the cougar. She seems to be someone searching for love rather than having her eye on the prize. Being a couch fan is different than actually playing the game. How will she fair? I don't see her going far at all. I can see her being out early and instantly forgotten.
PREDICTION: Pre-jury
Steve Moses
Age: 22
Hometown: Gouverneur, New York
Current City: Gouverneur, New York
Occupation: College Student
Aww the innocent straight edge college kid! He may say he's a smart guy, but Steve looks like he'll be easy to manipulate. He'll likely be strung along to an alliance to be the resident smart kid, but once his use is over, he'll be the first to be disposed. If he gets in the numbers, he'll make it to jury. After that, see him in the jury house early. He wants to avoid being the next Ian Terry, but taking after a winner is always a good strategy.
PREDICTION: Jury
Vanessa Rousso
Age: 32
Hometown: Las Vegas
Current City: Las Vegas
Occupation: Professional poker player
Vanessa is a poker player. And a good one at that. She'll be strategizing from the start. Whether or not she knows the hand of Big Brother is a whole other story. As long as she lets the wind blow at the start and not over think, Vanessa could be sitting pretty. But if she goes balls out from the start, she's a major threat to be an early eviction. The other key for Vanessa is not revealing her profession and net worth. If the players find out she's already a millionaire, there is no way in hell Vanessa goes far. Keep quiet and she's golden. Early jury is a logical place for her.
