* Season 1

## Season History

**Molly Hofstaedter** *(she/her)* is the runner-up of DeSales Big Brother 1. She also competed on DeSales Big Brother: All-Stars.

On Season 1, Molly set herself up as a strong player with solid connections and great credibility. She won the Week 2 and Week 4 HOH's, and both times made sure to give careful, objective reasoning for her nominations that appeased the house and minimized blood on her hands. Her closest allies by far were Eileen Deisemann (starting Week 3) and Sammi Stec (starting Week 6)-- these three united to form the Final Three Girls alliance. From this point on, Molly was in a beautiful position as Eileen, Sammi, and Nicole Balistrere (whom Eileen was close with) would win back-to-back HOH's, guaranteeing Molly safety. Molly avoided the block all season until the final five, when Matt Camardo won HOH and nominated Molly next to Nicole. When Nicole won the Power of Veto, the Final Three Girls constructed an elaborate scheme to trick Nicole into not using the Power of Veto on herself so that they could evict her. Molly's scathing speech during the Veto meeting swayed an already confused Nicole into not saving herself, resulting in her getting blindsided, and Molly survived the week. When Eileen won the final HOH, she took Molly to the final two over Sammi; however, Molly would barely lose to Eileen in a jury vote of 4-3, making Molly the runner-up of the season.

On All-Stars, Molly came in with a big reputation and lots of potential allies. All three members of the Final Three Girls were in the house, along with several other players whom Molly had close personal bonds with (such as Bobby Rice and Emily Barrett). However, Molly's Week 1 HOH was spent on evicting Eileen, who asked the house to evict her due to scheduling issues. For much of the pre-jury phase, Molly would often avoid game conversations and turn down offers to join alliances, making other HouseGuests wary of her. As a result, Molly almost became a target at multiple points along with Sammi, her final-two ally; however each time a bigger target would emerge and get taken out instead. After the first Double Eviction, Molly joined the Fab Four alliance with Sammi, Lucia Pastor and Gabby Kmetz. This alliance took out all three members of the opposing Love Laugh Ligma alliance consecutively, successfully getting them to the final four. However, once Sammi won HOH and Lucia won the final Veto, Molly's fate was sealed as Gabby was Lucia's final-two. Molly was evicted by Lucia's sole vote, placing 4th and becoming the sixth member of the jury. She voted for Lucia to win.

Although she placed lower than on her first season, Molly solidified herself as a formidable Big Brother player, especially in competitions-- of the last ten competitions she played in, she won two and was the runner-up of seven.
