CBS Bio
Fifth grade teacher by day and DJ by night, Casey will rap for anyone on request. Funny, outgoing and intelligent, this teacher is most proud of having a career where he has taught at schools located in low-income areas for more than 15 years. He takes great joy in knowing that he has the opportunity to work with good kids who are not growing up in ideal situations.

Casey calls his wife “terrific” if for no other reason than she puts up with him. An understanding woman, she will miss him during his stay in the house, but she realizes that this is a once-in-a-lifetime experience for Casey. He feels the most difficult part about being in the house will be being away from his family, and he is worried about the milestones he might miss in the lives of his 19-year-old and nine month-old sons.

With the BIG BROTHER cameras surrounding him at all times, he is quite nervous about his nose-picking habit. He’s pretty sure that the cameras will eventually catch him. Other than that, he really doesn’t have any fears and quips that there are only two things that he is afraid of: his “wife and the IRS.” He is looking forward to getting outside of his comfort zone which will end up in self-discovery, adventures and awesome experiences.

One of his life’s mottos is, “refuse to lose,” and if he encounters any whiny people in the house, he will simply say, “life isn’t fair. We’ve all had tough times. Suck it up and move on.”

Casey’s birth date is February 16, 1968.

CBS Bio
Born and raised in Dana Point, Calif., Braden spends his time surfing and has experience working as an international model and an actor. This bachelor lists his favorite activities as sleeping and talking to girls. He is a cocky surfer who, ironically, is afraid of drowning. He constantly boasts about his self-perceived intelligence, looks, charm and overall desirability.

Braden calls himself a fashion icon and thinks anything creative is totally rad; he even designs his own jewelry. But he hopes that he is not placed in the house with “fashionistas who think they are too cool for school.” Braden has a very laid-back, California vibe and is concerned that the stress levels in the house will mess up his mellow personality. His fellow Houseguests may be thrown off by Braden’s vocabulary as he tends to make up his own words.

Aside from winning the cash prize, Braden hopes to have new experiences and gain the virtue of patience. He plans to win BIG BROTHER by being two-faced.

Braden’s favorite color is blue (because, according to him, it compliments his eyes) and his favorite food is sushi. His birth date is September 13, 1980.

Big Brother 11 Media Day

We get our first look at the Big Brother 11 house, complete with faux houseguests, Head Of Household, nomination ceremony, and Power Of Veto. I wouldn’t mind seeing Jen come back personally, although All Stars was such a disaster (granted, the lousy season six players and the fact that it was rigged had a lot to do with that) that I don’t know that we could ever expect a repeat houseguest again.

So, like, when do we get to find out the actual cast? Not to be pushy or anything, but this is two weeks away from premiering.
