Name: Matt Hoffman Age: 32 Current Residence: Elgin, Ill. Occupation: Web designer Three adjectives that describe you: Intelligent, creative and sweet-talker Favorite activities: Playing music, writing music, watching TV, watching/playing hockey, hanging/drinking with friends and annoying people for my own amusement What do you think will be the most difficult part about living inside the Big Brother house: The frustration of not knowing all the major world and pop culture news that's happening all around you Strategy for winning Big Brother: I'm leaving all of my emotions from home and my "real life" at the door. When I'm in the house, it's 100% game. What types of people would you NOT choose to live with you in the house: Quiet, reclusive types. When you're crammed away in close quarters for that long, you need some stimulation. A recurring theme on Big Brother is "expect the unexpected." How would you handle "the unexpected:" I'm very adaptable and can think on the fly. Which past Big Brother cast member did you like most or least: Since the beginning I've liked Will, but his strategy would never work anymore. People play the game too much now. So, I'd have to go with Dan as my favorite. What are you afraid of: Failure. That's it. I think that comes from being an only child. It's a curse. What is the accomplishment you are most proud of: Everything I did with my old band, Shooting Blanks. Finish this sentence: "My life's motto is:" I don't want the world, I just want your half. Is there anything else you want the fans to know about yourself: I have what it takes. I'm smart, charismatic and housebroken so I won't pee on the carpet.

Think he has a good shot to win this, so long as he doesn't let his intelligence and BB knowledge go to his head like Ronnie did last season.

TV GUIDE take:
Matt Hoffman
Age: 32
From: Elgin, IL
Occupation: Web Designer
A computer whiz and a certified genius — yep, he's a member of MENSA — Hoffman is also quite the wise-ass. And he knows it could get him in trouble. "I have the curse of gab and the filter between my brain and my mouth doesn't always work," says Hoffman, who intends to trim his age a bit so he can have a faux 30th birthday party in the house. This is actually his second time as a BB contestant. He was picked last year, then had to drop out when he realized the finale conflicted with his wedding day. "My wife, Stacy, will be watching on the 24-hour feed so no cuddling or massages in the BB house for me," Hoffman says. "I don't want to go home and get my balls in a sling."

Anybody know what the bandage on his left arm is? I haven't seen it mentioned. It doesn't seem to be an injury. Does he have an offensive tattoo that he has to keep covered?

I think it is a tattoo. I remember on the premiere episode during the segment where he receives his key that he had a spot on his left arm blurred out.

I'm sure it is an offensive tattoo. Our pink-haired James had one that was always covered for the same reason.

It's Barney with x'd out eyes. I guess they've decided since it is a caricature, they don't have to cover it any longer.

Ugh! Well kiddies aren't watching and it's really hard to see it anyway. Thanks for letting us know what it is. :tup:

Anyone know what Regan's says? It's making me insane trying to read it.

I KNEW IT!!! :yess:
The second I heard Matt's story about his wife's disease on the live feeds I had a feeling it was made up based on what I had see from him so far. I tried looking it up online and and he got most of the facts right, kudos to him but I couldn't confirm or deny if it was true.
I called it though, I enjoyed listening to him on last night's episode talk about how it was all a lie. :yess:

It makes me insane to type it! He stops talking or he's whispering. (He's quite good at whispering.) (:;) It seems like he's had previous conversations so he doesn't have to complete the thought.

I meant the tattoo on Regan's arm, but I totally see what you are saying. He talks in stream of consciousness. I think its mostly because he chooses every word he says very carefully. He's playing an insanely smart game so far.

oh! Tat's! I would like to know what that saying is on his right arm. One thing that annoys me this year is so many far off shots and one person on camera without letting you see the other person. That keeps us from seeing as much as we normally would.

Yeah, thats the tattoo that is makin me nuts trying to read it. I think the camera men are 'distracted' this season.

I love Matt.... he totally reminds me of James (S6) He is smart and by the looks of it isn't too shabby at comps he just needs to watch what he says
im going to predict that he will be the one loose wheel in the brigade and will turn on them first.

He's totally my favorite this season. Yeah, lying about his wife is a little low, but at this point, pretty much everyone in the game has lied about something.
As far as the Brigade goes, I think he'll either turn on the rest of them, or Hayden, Matt, and Lane will all turn on Enzo. I get the feeling Enzo is a loose cannon waiting to go off.
