Jacob

Hello, everyone, my name is Jacob - and I'm 28 years old 6 feet 2 inches tall with brown hair and blue eyes.  I was born and raised in Coos Bay, OR, a little town with a few thousand people on the Oregon coast where I have spent my entire life up until 4 months ago when I moved to Hollywood, CA to pursue my dreams.  I am extremely athletic and confidant I work out and run every day, I take great care of my body.  I grew up playing every sport you can think of along with racing motorcycles and going hunting and fishing with my dad and friends all my life.  One of my favorite hobbies is going Gold Mining on the Sixes River and I'm a huge gold and silver collector.  I also love to go to the beach and go Metal Detecting.  I'm a huge treasure hunter.  I have a great family that I love with all my heart.  I’m a very hard worker.  I've done manual labor, everything from fishing on an 86 foot dragger boat, to logging in the woods, to working as a masonry packing cement blocks, to being a golf caddie and to being a head cook flipping hamburgers at my grandparents restaurant.  I always knew and felt in my heart that I was meant to do more and big things, with my personality and strengths and will, there’s nobody out there that dreams bigger than me. The more I have to go through in life to get me what I want only adds to every attribute and makes me who I am.  My motivation is wanting to succeed to be something in life.  Being able to get and do what I want without worrying about money or how I’d be able to do it.  Just to be able to one day afford to help little kids or someone other than myself.  I’m very passionate about helping others, the biggest high I can ever get in life is when I see the look on someone’s face after you know you did something nice for them to make there day that’s what I want to do every day of my life when I make it big.  I have a very special ability with helping people.  To actually have enough to make a difference be it animals or little kids there’s too many starving and struggling to just want it all to myself.  I’m a very generous person with a huge heart.  It kills me to see someone in a worse situation than me and the best I can do is pocket change.  I want to be able to change someone’s life as much as this could change mine.  So America, I would love for you to keep me in the house and vote for me because I will always give you the best personality you have ever seen on TV every single episode you watch and I’ll do whatever it takes to keep you on my side.  I will never be fake or someone I’m not, I will always give you the real me every single day.  I promise you will love me.

Jeffrey

I had never been to New York City before moving here 9 years ago with my friends.  My job as a paraeducator for people with disabilities in California ended due to budget cuts, and since I didn't have the resources to finish college, I thought a creative adventure would be worthwhile.  After many retail positions, writing classes, and temp assignments, I settled into being a very, very high powered... receptionist.  I miss the days when I worked as a summer camp administrator and job coach for people with developmental disabilities, but I am a true believer of that tired, old saying "Everything happens for a reason.”  My motivation in life right now is trying to define and discover the new American Dream.  We have all been told it exists, but there are so many paths to choose from on the way to finding it.  Perhaps this show is part of that journey.  My humorous outlook on the world around us keeps me grounded and sane.  My family of friends and I have fun hosting game nights, themed brunches, and silly hat parties.  I am very passionate about LGBTQ civil rights and activism, Mexican food, and my sweet mother, who, as a cancer survivor, has taught me that the power of positivity conquers all.

Joy

My name is Joy.  I was born in Madrid, Spain.  I am Spanish, French, and Scottish.  My dad was in the Air Force and my family traveled a lot while I was growing up.  I have lived in Spain, Germany, Saudi Arabia, and all over the USA!  I am a single mom.   I have a beautiful little girl.  She is so sweet and smart!   She makes my world go 'round!  I have been modeling since 2007 and I have posed for Playboy 6 times.  I love to travel, meet new people, and go to Playboy Golf events around the country.  I am a huge animal lover.  I have a cat named Jupiter and a fish named Mister Blue Fins.  I am also a carnivore and prefer my steak medium rare.  I enjoy cooking for friends and family.  I think people who make instant mashed potatoes are lazy.  Desserts are my specialty.  I make a mean banana cream pie.  I have even been known to wear a whip cream bikini!  I am a big kid at heart.  I love playing Pac Man, nerf guns, silly string, go carts, laser tag.  Bring it!  I enjoy watching cheesy horror films and re-runs of Saturday morning cartoons.  My friends would describe me as bubbly and I am always up for an adventure!  I think that life is short and each day should be lived to the fullest.  I wake up every day and try to be the best me that I can be.  I am excited about this experience and I can’t wait to see what happens!

Kevin


My name is Kevin and I am a 33 year old father of one from Toledo, Ohio.  My daughter’s name is Samara and she is 15 years old.  During the school year Samara lives with me full time which causes me to rely heavily on the assistance of my mom and sister, who fortunately live close.  Samara and I live in a small suburb of Toledo called Walbridge, Ohio.  I have lived in, or around Toledo my entire life.  I am employed with the Toledo Police Department where I have worked for nearly 12 years.  Six of those years were spent as a Detective with the Vice/Narcotics Unit, though I now work as a supervisor in Field Operations (patrol).  Before becoming a police officer I worked as a pizza maker, shoe salesman, and even a 911 call taker.  My work history has provided me with many unique and interesting experiences which I’m sure will come in handy while competing in “The Glass House.”  In my spare time I attend classes at a local University and expect to have my degree in criminal justice sometime early next year.  When I’m not pulling daddy duty, working, or going to school, I absolutely love to watch and play any and all sports.  My favorite sport to watch is football and my favorite sport to play is softball.  I consider myself a very competitive person who hates to lose.  I also love to read and travel, though I don’t get to do either one nearly as much as I would like.  I try to read at least one book a month but sometimes my schedule doesn’t allow it.  My ultimate goals in life are to raise my daughter to be a good person and to continue to work hard serving the citizens of Toledo.  I believe that you only get one life to live so you should always make each moment count.  My absolute number one priority is to always have fun no matter what I’m doing.  If you’re not having fun, what’s the point?

Melissa

Melissa is an outgoing adventurous Chicagoan whose energy and personality earned her the nickname ‘Spunky’ among her friends.  Melissa loves all things Chicago from deep-dish pizza and hot dogs; to the Chicago Cubs and Da Bears!  Growing up in a family who loved to play games and gamble, she would fantasize, not about becoming a princess but, instead, about turning 18 so she could play Bingo with her grandma.  Her grandmother used to joke that grandmas should teach their grandkids to cook and sew; instead she taught Melissa rummy, blackjack, and what a stick-man was.  Growing up Melissa’s family spent weekends at the racetrack and took many trips to Wrigley Field, where her father taught her one of her favorite games -- Beer Cup Baseball.  Melissa used to be a dedicated World of Warcraft gamer and loves her gnome mage Mahgenta.  She is also a huge Lord of The Rings and Nightmare Before Christmas fan and proudly has the Evenstar and Oogie Boogies dice tattooed on her.  You’ll have to watch to find out where!  Melissa came from a divorced home, but always looking on the bright side, she joked that it meant two birthday cakes!  Her time in high school, however, was a struggle, being raised by a single mom in nursing school she moved around a lot landing her at 5 different schools by her junior year.  Never able to keep up or catch up with her school work, Melissa dropped out of school against her parents’ wishes and completed her GED.  Needing to prove to herself that you can still be successful without a diploma, Melissa was accepted to Columbia College Chicago and graduated with a degree in Broadcast Journalism.  Melissa has found some success after graduation working on and off camera, as a reporter for a horse racing show and on production for a somewhat crazy daytime talk show.  Eventually following her dreams to California, and currently living in Los Angeles, Melissa has spent the last few years working in poker journalism.  She has traveled to 15 countries and has interviewed the world’s best poker players and many celebrities.  Her dream is to work as a sports reporter or on a travel show.  Volunteering is another passion of Melissa’s.  In 2005 she was heartbroken by the effects of Hurricane Katrina and joined the Red Cross to live in a shelter and help the victims of New Orleans.  She is currently a volunteer for School on Wheels, an organization in LA that tutors homeless kids.  “The Glass House” is a perfect home for fun-loving and spontaneous Melissa as she loves a challenge and tough competition.  She has had many adventures from volcano sledding in Nicaragua to throwing tomatoes at Tomatina (the world’s largest tomato fight) in Spain and looks at “The Glass House” as the greatest adventure she can embark on, a completely unknown challenge controlled by YOU!
