Brian Monty

**Brian Monty** was houseguest on *Big Brother 1 (US)* and *Big Brother 7 (US)*.

In *Big Brother 1*, Brian was a constant underdog. He started off the season on the block but managed to survive. He then flew under the radar until he won 2 HOHs back to back and took shots at the Royals. At first it seemed like he'd be a target for them because of this but he managed to flip the vote for him to stay two weeks in a row. Ramani Copperman then returned and went rogue, revealing all of the Royals' secrets. This started a new alliances between her, Brian, Callum Scott and Carly Villanueva. They made it to F5 until Carly and Ramani turned on the guys to take Da'Shon Lott to F4. Brian was back on the bottom with no allies but for the third time, he managed to flip the vote and convince Da'Shon to send Carly home. Despite all of this, Da'Shon won the final HOH and with his sole vote to evict, Brian was sent packing.

In *Big Brother 7*, Brian found himself playing the role of the underdog yet again. He was nominated during the first week alongside Julian Kayne where he survived in an 11-2 vote. From them on, he was able to stay under the radar and not ruffle any feathers. He tried to mend fences with Carly Villanueva and Ramani Copperman and potentially work with them but this quickly fell apart as both of their motivations would stray from a BB1 alliance. His strategy of laying low came to a close after the Double Eviction where two sides formed and neither scooped him up. He found himself on the outs and after being a pawn in two back to back weeks, Addison Kasey was able to flip the votes in her favor and Brian was evicted in 10th place.
