Bob Pancakes

## Season History

**Robert "Bob" Pancakes** was a houseguest on *Big Brother 2*.

Coming into *Big Brother 2* as the husband of a former contestant, he managed to quickly aligned and gained connections with several houseguests. On Day 1, Bob took 25k at the first competition by pressing a button, but his consequence of pressing the button was unleashing the House Serpent twist. He began playing a very quiet game, and received almost no airtime at the beginning. He quickly formed a bond with Greta Romano because of their mutual parenthood. Despite appearing to be a non-threat during the first half of the season, he quickly gained power through his ally Greta winning the Week 8 Head of Household competition and formed a secret alliance with Vivian Pinhosa called Bonnie & Clyde. However, Bob soon became a target due to his erratic behavior and his various verbal attacks, as a means of intimidation, rubbing houseguests the wrong way.

He actually made it farther than any other houseguest in terms of nominations, not even touching the block until Week 11, where he was finally nominated by HoH Jun Kim. In the first half of the second Double Eviction, he narrowly escaped eviction by activating his Panic Power and saved himself with the Blood Power of Veto to avoid the tiebreaker vote against him. In Week 12, he was blindsided when he was re-nominated by Vivian, and evicted by the sole vote of Heidi Conrad. He placed 4th and was the eighth member of the Jury.

## Biography

**Hometown:** Willow Creek, LA
**Current city:** Willow Creek, LA
**Occupation:** Caterer
**Three adjectives that describe you:** Complex, loyal and entertaining.
**Favorite activities:** The gym is a huge part of my life recently. I also love to hike around the mountainside and relax on the beach as much as I can as well.
**What do you think will be the most difficult part about living inside the Big Brother house?**
I’m a pretty big guy who needs to eat. Grumpy Bob comes about when food is not available. And also, I have the Pancakes family's reputation to uphold after my wife's poor gameplay last season that caused her to be the first person evicted.
**Do you have a strategy for winning the game?**
Of course, it’s all about making friends and not enemies at all cost. Not everyone will like you, but you have to try to bond with your housemates to build trust. Also, you have to rule very politically if you’re at the top so it may be beneficial to lay low in the weeds until the final five.
**My life's motto is...**
Don’t live too fast. Don’t live too slow. Live my life the way I want with no regrets and I'll have lived my life just right.
**What would you take into the house and why?**
Just three? A shaver since I need to look smooth and clean cut always (unless its Sunday brunch), a toothbrush (how can I form an alliance with bad breath?) and a photo of my wife and son, no explanation needed.
**Fun facts about yourself:**
* I used to carelessly gain so much weight years ago. Until one of my closest friends motivated me into working out to shape myself up. I had such a long journey developing my sculpted body by following strictly-balanced diets and proper workout routines.
* Me and Eliza used to face marital problems in the past. But we managed to mend the burning bridges between our relationship and stayed together for our own, Iggy.
