Tia Jones

Tia Jones was a housemate on the first season of Big Brother. She entered the House on Day 1, and soon made friends with Bree. When her ally was evicted in the first week, she formed a bond with Tommie Davis. The pair proved to be a powerful duo, aiding in the House's flip against the Tres Hermanos alliance and at times swaying which way the vote would go each week. Tia was the first female Head of Household, an accomplishment she showed to be proud of. When the housemates began to see Tia and Tommie as a strong threat together, they became the targets of the remaining few housemates. Tia was evicted in the eighth week, making it to the final five. Since leaving the House, she has made a number of appearances on the show and its spin-off seasons.
==Biography==
Tia Jones was born in a small town in Oregon. She attempted to live a standard life, enrolling in college at eighteen and spending the next year as a student. She began to feel bored with life, and decided to drop out and move to Las Vegas with friends. Having a love for the nightlife, she began to pursue a career as a host. Finding a job with Bloomhouse, she worked her way to the top and became one of the most sought after event planners and coordinators in the area. Tia did not apply for the series, rather was found by a casting agent while hosting an event in a night club. She proceeded with the casting process as she saw it as a once in a lifetime experience. She described herself as "hilarious, flirty, and fierce". Tia listed owning her own company and getting into real estate as some of her future goals, and if she won the show's grand prize she hoped to use it as a platform to launch her business. She believed that her line of work had given her the social skills to make it far in the game.
Tia entered the House on Day 1. She formed a bond with Tommie right away, and quickly made friends with Bree as well. When Bree was evicted in the first week, she found herself working closely with Tommie from that point on. Beginning to suspect that the men had formed an alliance, Tia became a member of the Secret Six alliance, vowing to eliminate the strong men from the House. Tia won the "Hang Ten" competition on Day 23, becoming the first female Head of Household of the series. She nominated Brandon and Stallone for eviction, and when Tommie won the Power of Veto that week nominations were left intact. Brandon, seen as the stronger threat, was evicted that week. Following that week's double eviction, the House began to turn on Ozzie, and Tia was on board with the plan. Though she followed Leslie's idea in regards to Ozzie, Tia began to believe that Leslie had grown too strong in the game, and needed to be dealt with soon. She approached Tommie about the idea, and she agreed that Leslie needed to be targeted soon.
Ozzie was evicted that week, and Leslie came into power later that night. Leslie hoped to target Stallone that week, though Tia and Tommie hoped to flip the vote and put a target on Leslie's back. She became a member of the Fantastic Four alliance that formed to target Leslie and her allies, and secured the votes needed keep Stallone in the game. Despite this, Stallone's desire to leave the game led to the plan being foiled, and he was evicted that week. Tia and Tommie threw the next Head of Household competition to Annalise, allowing her to target Leslie without getting blood on their hands. The plan was successful, and Leslie was evicted that week. In addition, Tia won a $10,000 prize during a luxury competition. In the double eviction that followed, Mitchell came into power and nominated Tia against Annalise. When Tommie won the Power of Veto, she removed Tia from the block; Annalise was evicted. Tommie came into power next, and Tia felt safe with her closest ally in power. Mitchell and Shavan were nominated for eviction, and Andy won that week's Power of Veto. Wanting to break up the strong duo, Andy removed Shavan from the lock, with Tia being the only eligible replacement. She was unanimously evicted from the House on Day 58. She voted for Tommie to win the season.
Upon leaving the show, Tia hosted several parties at local night clubs and made appearances. When she was twenty-nine, she married her boyfriend of five years in an intimate ceremony in California. Tia, along with Tommie, participated in cast interviews for the first spin-off season. The interviews were used for the show's official sites under the cast bios. She appeared as a guest on the first season of The Big Brother Mash-Up, and has appeared on several seasons since. She entered the Sims BB2 house on Day 47 to host that week's Power of Veto competition and spend the night. Season one housemate Shavan Brooks was also present in the House, as part of the week's BB Hotel task. She left the House on Day 48. She did the cast interviews for the second season of Big Brother: Danger Zone with Ian Nguyen.
