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.

Here's a kwote from Braeden: "I've learned extremely a lot throughout travelling around, you know, Europe by myself, China by myself. " Sheesh! He also makes up his own grammar! This will be the "Jesse". And I thought Laura The Bikini Model was full of herself! This guy beats her - hands down.

Maybe Ronnie, the national champion in speech and debate, can give him some lessons while they're in the house. I can't wait to hear some of his "made up" vocabulary.

It would appear that Braden has no problem with nudity: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HIR_6I9tstA Is this a good thing? Or a bad thing? LOL

That was an episode of a show called Dante's Peak. The RealityBlurred dude called it a " a sort of supernatural gay soap opera". Clear as mud. LOL LINK ETA: there is more to that clip. RealityBlurred says they have all been removed from YouTube. I'm sure they will keep popping back up, if anyone is curious. :-)

Braden is a published poet and writer. He has written for The Wall street Journal and Cosmo and is working on 2 books of poetry. Seems clear he is playing a part- or he is an idiot savant.

I've looked around the web for American Poet Elite, and so far, I can't find any mention of it. A search on Cosmopolitan and Wall Street Journal has turned up nothing on him either. I went to Amazon.com and found a movie: The Brotherhood II, Young Warlocks, and a single episode of Dante's Cove in 2006. So far, nothing on the web to refer to anything he's done other than on film, except for his press releases referring to his published articles. Still looking though.

Why do people lie about stuff like that? Don't they know there is an Internet?

If he aligns with Russell- he could be almost unstoppable. I don't know if he's strategic enough to do it. He's my dark horse- MID-JURY at least..

After seeing his interview with Diane, I really want to like him. He comes off kinda dumb, but he seems compassionate and not as full of himself as I first thought. His speech habits will be challenging, as he doesn't seem to have a good grasp of the English language, except for slang/cliche type of expressions. I want to like him for some reason. But it could be difficult!

Tnt...try pasting them without the "=Part". I pasted them from a Dial Up connection and I can see that they're red for me (which means I haven't watched them) I was trying to clarify, but it may have changed the linky-poo-thinga-ma-bob. I'll check it out when I get back home, and repost if necessary.

Glad it's working. I'm the techno-idiot, for adding that part. (I asked the mods if they can fix it)

There are one or two cliches that this guy didn't voice, but then I have only watched Part 1 of his interview! What is the guy equivalent of Valley Girl?

He is definitely a Southern Cal boy all the way. I liked him except for his one bad moment. He apologized to the people he offended and hopefully he learned from it. At least he has the ability to move on from it which is more then you can say for the other bigots still there. Good luck, Braden ~ You just don't fit in with toxic people.

I actually liked him better than several others. Of course, I do not support derogatory name-calling of anyone at any time -
