## Profile

**Hometown:** Kennesaw, Georgia
**Current city:** Edinburg, Texas
**Occupation:** Psychology Student
**Three adjectives that describe you:** Blunt, active, charismatic
**Favorite activities:** Working out, playing basketball, biking, and hanging out with my friends.
**What do you think will be the most difficult part about living inside the Big Brother house?**
Being away from my parents. We are all really close, and we haven't gone more than a week without talking, so I'm definitely going to miss them.
**Which past Big Brother cast member did you like most?**
My favorite player was probably Brandon Wentworth. I feel like he's such an underrated player, and it's proof because of how long it took him to be nominated. He didn't have to win many competitions, because he was never in any real danger. And even then, he was taken out because Summer thought he was a bigger threat than Ruby.
**Do you have a strategy for winning the game?**
Be social with everyone and make genuine connections. Win the competitions that I only feel the need to and take out the big threats until I'm the only one left... at the final two!

**What do you think will be the most difficult part about living inside the Big Brother house?**
Not being able to see my friends or family, definitely.
**Which past Big Brother cast member did you like most?**
I enjoyed watching John Sullient. He seemed to have subtle control over the house. He used Stella Mainrock as a shield so she always goes out first, and then he takes control for the moves that they made together and pull out the win. I always thought that was really impressive.
**Do you have a strategy for winning the game?**
I want to try and win one of the first two Head of Household competitions, or veto competition. That way, I can easily solidify alliances early on with people that will help me in the mid-game and late game. And in those alliances, I take out all the stronger players so my odds of winning get better and better.

**Three adjectives that describe you:** Creative, kind, gregarious.
**Favorite activities:** Playing with my kids, cooking, creating jewelry, and swimming.
**What do you think will be the most difficult part about living inside the Big Brother house?**
It will definitely be being away from my daughters for an entire summer. We've all been through so much, and I know they're in good hands with my mother, but that doesn't mean I won't miss them.
**Which past Big Brother cast member did you like most?**
I like Lisa Ridgeway's gameplay in her first season. She was definitely running the game in a discreet way, and she could've won the whole thing if her positioned wasn't exposed. I respect her gameplay even more because she's a part of the mom stereotype, so no one would expect her to do super well. And she proved everyone wrong, and even got to play a second time!
**Do you have a strategy for winning the game?**
Sniff out the competition, and work with the people who I think would be really strong in competitions. That may sound like a dumb idea, but I would use them as meat shields, and then cut them at the perfect opportunity.

### Títulos

Sua Sagrada Majestade Imperial Apostólica, pela graça de Deus, Imperador da Austrásia, Defensor da Fé, Augusto Imperador dos Romanos, Rei da Alemanha, Itália, Dalmácia, Croácia, Eslavônia, Sérvia, Galícia, Lodoméria e Ilíria. Pai da Pátria, Autocrata, Governante Venerável, Sumo Tribuno e Primeiro Cidadão.

### Cônjuge

Imperatriz Maria Annunziata de Bourbon das Duas Sícilias (m.1862)

## Família

### Pai

Kaiser Franz Karl I von Habsburg da Austrásia (1802-1858)

### Descendencia

- Arquiduque Joseph von Habsburg (16 Anos)- Arquiduquesa Sophie von Habsburg (14 anos)

- Arquiduque Ferdinand von Habsburg (11 anos)

- Arquiduque Georg von Habsburg (9 anos)

- Arquiduquesa Maria Teresa von Habsburg (5 anos)

- Arquiduque Leopold von Habsburg (1 ano)

O segundo filho do fundador da Austrásia, Franz Ludwig não esperava assumir o trono de qualquer país, muito menos o de seu país, que iria para seu irmão mais velho Franz Joseph, pelas leis da herança. Portanto, Ludwig cresceu relativamente despreocupado com o rumo do Império Sagrado, procurando ocupar-se com seus gostos pessoais, dentre os quais se destacava mais a música. O jovem arquiduque sonhava em ser um maestro um dia, apesar de tal profissão ser incomum para alguém de sangue imperial como ele. Além disso, ele aspirava seguir um caminho clerical, sendo também profundamente interessado em teologia e fervorosamente católico.
No entanto, após o assassinato de Franz Joseph em Budapeste, nas mãos de Martin Gedeck, um anarquista húngaro, sua vida mudou drasticamente, quando todos os olhos se voltaram para ele em expectativa, já que ele havia se tornado o herdeiro de Franz Karl I. Ao assumir o trono, além de garantir a sobrevivência do novo Império, ele o expandiu e o fortaleceu, se tornando um dos homens mais poderosos do mundo, um administrador invejável e um dos líderes militares mais hábeis do mundo.
Valerie Nunez

**Valerie Nunez** was a houseguest in *Big Brother 9*.

Valerie's "soulmate" in the house was Aaron Gadnet. Despite Valerie's initial attempts to play under-the-radar, her plans were thwarted when Aaron's self-absorbed personality annoyed many of their housemates. After the intended targets, Danielle DeLauch and Spencer Handlin, won the Power of Veto, Valerie and Aaron were nominated in their place. Due to Aaron's decision not to campaign after an explosive fight with Andrea Layton, Valerie had to do all the heavy lifting herself. Despite almost swaying many houseguests to keep them, everyone decided to play it safe. Valerie, along with Aaron, were evicted in Week 1 in a unanimous 4-0 vote, placing 14th.

**Hometown:** Cancun, Mexico
**Current city:** Palm Springs, California
**Occupation:** Chef
**Three adjectives that describe you:** Resilient, witty, and charming.
**Favorite activities:** Cooking, painting, listening to music, and surfing.
**What do you think will be the most difficult part about living inside the Big Brother house?**
Being broadcasted every single second of every day. It makes me nervous when I know I'm being filmed, so that may have an impact on me after time goes on.
**Which past Big Brother cast member did you like most?**
I'm going to go with an unique pick here and say Lena Drewson. Her journey throughout the game was so interesting to me, I don't think it could ever be recreated. She went from having no allies in the first two weeks, to being in the final three. That takes some serious skill.
**Do you have a strategy for winning the game?**
I plan on playing an under-the-radar game for the first few weeks. I'm pretty strong with my words, so if I ever hear my name circulating or find myself on the block, I can use my powers of persuasion to keep me over my opponent. I've played a Big Brother-type game before with my friends using that same strategy. And I won! Is it guaranteed that I'll win using it this time? No, of course not. But it's the strategy I'm most comfortable using.

Dan was remembered for co-founding the Yvonne's Support Group alliance after the eviction of his secret partner, Yvonne Sandrin. He is remembered for taking out big threats such as Curtis Alahan and Corinne Loskey, as well as backdooring Jesse Jades. However, after evicting Corinne, her alliance targeted him, and he was nominated in Week 7. His status as a strong player and leader of Yvonne's Support Group made him emerge as a big target, and he was evicted during the first half of the first Double Eviction by a unanimous 6-0 vote, placing 9th and becoming the first member of the jury.

Returning for *Big Brother All-Stars*, Dan played a more relaxed strategic game, not making many waves early on, but also managing to control the eviction votes of Stella Mainrock and Kel Ying. He joined the majority alliance of Zach's Attack 2.0 and had a showmance with Natalie Sharma. He was well liked by the audience for his laid back, yet humorous diary room sessions. He managed to make it all the way to the final three, after Zach Lamb cast the sole vote to evict him, viewing Dan as the favorite to win. He came in 3rd place, and became the seventh and final member of the jury. He ended up winning America's Favorite Juror award - being the first Houseguest to ever receive this prize.

O primeiro país a se libertar da dominação européia no Continente Americana, os Estados Unidos são um símbolo inspirador de triunfo, glória e liberdade para todas jovens democracias americanas. Duas décadas atrás, esse país foi desafiado por si mesmo com uma devastadora Guerra Civil (1861-1865), que dividiu o país temporariamente em duas partes. Porém, no fim, a União prevaleceu e após a Reconstrução da nação (1865-1876), os Estados Unidos vivenciaram um grande crescimento econômico, de proporções nunca vistas antes por ele ou por qualquer país da América. Agora, mesmo sendo uma nação nova perto dos amplos e poderosos impérios europeus, ela apresenta poder suficiente para ocupar uma posição de potência na geopolítica global.
Eyüp Aydin Pasha

**Eyüp Aydin Pasha** (07 de abril de 1724 - 12 de fevereiro de 1791) foi um Grão-Vizir do Império Otomano, sendo conhecido e celebrado como um dos grandes estadistas do século XVIII, sobretudo por seus esforços em tentar evitar o declínio do Império Otomano, costurando uma posição geopolítica mais robusta para os sultões e seus domínios.

Natural da cidade de Cônia, Eyüp ganhou proeminência política como um comandante militar durante a Revolta de Orlov, durante a Guerra Russo-Turca de 1768-1774, com sua elaboração de táticas e estratégias inortodoxas se provando essencial para a contenção dos rebeldes gregos, apoiados pelos russos. Tal desempenho, juntamente com sua devoção islâmica e seu eruditismo, chamou a atenção do Sultão Abdul Hamid I, que se tornou um amigo pessoal dele e o nomeou como Grão-Vizir do Império Otomano.

Posteriormente, tendo administrado o Império Otomano interruptamente, foi mantido como Grão-Vizir por Selim III, o sobrinho e sucessor de Abdul Hamid I, tendo a posição até o seu assassinato em 1791, nas mãos de políticos rivais, unidos em uma conspiração, motivada por suas falhas recentes, naquele período.

Apesar de seu fim, ele é lembrado como um dos primeiros reformistas otomanos, tomando diversas medidas para modernizar o Império,
Ken Isdrel

**Ken Isdrel** was a houseguest in *Big Brother 9*.

Ken "soulmate" in the house was Penelope Mellenchi. He would regularly personally attack her, making comments about her weight. Ken would also try and make amends with his ex-girlfriend from outside the house, Jenn Harthome; however, she would refuse to talk to him due to their past. After Jenn was evicted, he would make crude remarks about her character, while at the same time, flirting with Anna Davenport, who repeatedly told him that she wasn't interested. Penelope and Anna eventually reported him to production. And when Ken refused to take responsibility for his actions, he was ultimately expelled from the game, just a few hours before the first nomination ceremony. He was replaced by Jenn as Penelope's partner after he left the game. He placed 15th.

**Occupation:** Musician
**Three adjectives that describe you:** Energetic, charming, and strong.
**Favorite activities:** Making music, working out, drinking (minimal, of course), and listening to music.
**What do you think will be the most difficult part about living inside the Big Brother house?**
Most people would probably say missing their family and friends. But for me it, would probably be being broadcasted 24/7. I talk to myself sometimes, and I'm probably going to forget that I'm being filmed and say some very weird and quirky stuff.
**Which past Big Brother cast member did you like most?**
I liked watching Kel Ying and Summer Mitchell from Big Brother 4. I thought their dynamic was so interesting to watch. I'm especially a fan of Summer. She always spoke what was on her mind, and that made her seem really entertaining in my eyes.
**Do you have a strategy for winning the game?**
BIG MOVES! BIG MOVES! And did I mention big moves? Those are super important to win the game. It's impossible to win without making at least one move, in my eyes.

## Trivia

* Ken is the third houseguest to be expelled from *Big Brother*, following Gabriel Bates and Liam McGee.
