GILPIN -- Every Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday night, Donna and Henry Long tune in to CBS to watch "Big Brother 5."
Donna Long also watches the live web casts that allow viewers to see behind-the-scenes action. She scours the Internet for commentary on the show.

Although it may seem like the Longs have an unhealthy obsession with the reality television show, they have a good reason: Their 25-year-old son Scott is one of the 13 contestants vying for the show's grand prize of $500,000.

"We watched 'Big Brother' on and off before, but we weren't faithful viewers," Donna Long said Friday from her riverside home in Gilpin. "Now we're glued to it."

 
 
 

Long said they knew Scott, a 1997 Kiski Area High School graduate and current Shadyside resident, auditioned for the show, but assumed it was a long shot he'd be selected.

However, Donna said Scott didn't get to break the news of his acceptance to the family himself.

"CBS told us," she said. "They only gave him an hour to pack. We haven't talked to him about it at all."

Although Long's parents can't talk to him, they see him three times a week without fail. Often, other friends and family members come over to watch the show with them.

"We've got a ritual," Donna Long said. "Everybody's absolutely silent when the show is on, then we're going 100 miles an hour during the commercials.

"The first night, I couldn't stop pacing. It's intense," she said.

Long said she has been shocked at times by her son's actions, but is trying to keep things in perspective: "We just have to remember it's a game. He's going to do whatever he can to win."

Scott Long has worked in sales since his 2002 graduation from the University of Pittsburgh, where he was a walk-on football player and earned a business degree.

At 6 feet, 4 inches tall, Long said her son was a natural at basketball and played in high school and during his first two years of college at Pitt's Greensburg campus.

Scott Long also enjoys lifting weights and water sports, his mother said.

"He never stops amazing us with what he will do next," Donna Long said. "This has topped the cake so far."

Long said she doesn't know what her son would do with the prize money if he wins, but hopes it opens some doors for him.

"Whatever happens, it's a great opportunity," she said. "I just hope he's having fun."
