## Season History

**Jordan Rodney Cera McDonough**, known by his stage name **Charlamaine Monroe**, was a houseguest on *Big Brother 2*.

Jordan started off in a relatively stable position, utilizing his social capital in the game to avoid ever being a target. During Week 2, Jordan was cursed by a snake temptation and had to self-nominate after Layla Summers took the first ever temptation. He formed a duo alliance with Rowan Austin-Mossle as Canucks, however, their partnership was short-lived when his devoted ally was targeted for her volatile behavior rubbing people the wrong way and was sent home on Week 4.

On Week 5, Jordan forged a secret alliance with Ashleigh Lyons, Faysal Ibrahim, and Layla Summers called The Stakeouts. Amidst staying under the radar for two weeks, he quickly became a target when he began playing the game too hard too fast and continuously throwing his allies under the bus. Despite his last minute plead to some of the HouseGuests, he was unsuccessful in gathering the votes to save himself and was backdoored in an 5-2 vote.

After the announcement of the Battle Back Competition, Jordan returned to the show to compete against Bradley Hernandez. However, he lost to Bradley. He ended up placing 11th and becoming the first member of the Jury.

## Biography

**Hometown:** Vancouver, BC
**Current city:** Austin, TX
**Occupation:** Fashion Stylist / Drag Queen Performer
**Three adjectives that describe you:** Witty, sarcastic, and sociable.
**Favorite activities:** Improv, eating candy, watching TV shows and movies, laughing with friends, playing with puppies as they walk down the street, doing stand-up comedy routines, messing with people.
**What do you think will be the most difficult part about living inside the Big Brother house?**
Not having any privacy. I would be lying if I said I don’t find this intimidating. Also, the prospect of slop is something I have regular nightmares about. I just…can’t.
**Do you have a strategy for winning the game?**
I would scope out the house very quickly for these people, as I know you need to act soon to solidify trust and bonds. I’m quite good at reading people, so I would choose people I felt comfortable with, as well as people others would not expect me to align with. I also think my background in communications improv would be great strengths. Through communication and public speaking, I know how to say what people want to hear and through improv I am able to lie without batting an eye. I’m a smiley, friendly person, so nobody will see it coming when I stab them in the back.
**My life's motto is...**
Make fun of everything and most especially yourself.
**What would you take into the house and why?**
1. Reese's (Who doesn't love this?!) 2. My drag outfits and makeup (Just to give my fellow houseguests seeing more with my drag persona) 3. Earplugs (To avoid hearing the awkward noises everyone makes when they sleep).
