On this season of Big Brother:

12 houseguests will move into the Big Brother house. Each week, they will compete for food, luxury and Power. Every week, one houseguest will leave the big brother house and those remaining will be one step closer to winning the $500,000 grand prize. The Head of Household will nominate 2 people for eviction. After the nomination ceremony, the Power of Veto will be played. The winner of this competition can veto only ONE of the Head of Household's (HOH) nominations, after which, the HOH will have to name a replacement nominee. Who will be left standing? Let's meet our Houseguests.

David: 31 year old male marketing consultant from Louisiana. He loves what he does, and feels he is the best at it. In fact, he feels he is superior to most individuals and can out master anyone, anywhere, anytime. He lacks social grace, and is quite outspoken and needlessly intense even in casual conversation. He fails to see any flaw in himself and though he is unflinchingly confident, he is quite gullible, which makes for easy fodder. His strategy: Never turn his back on the enemy.

Melody: 47 year old female widow. At the age of 20, she married a man 39 years her senior. She DID love him, and despite accusations that she was just with him for his money, she was loyally by his side until his death 7 years ago. She now refuses to date any man above the age of 30. She admits to sleeping with her 21 year old son's friends and likens herself to a femme fatal. Her strategy: Seduce a handsome hunk and bend him to her will.
