With less than a week until the live move in premiere of Big Brother 23, CBS has given fans a sneak peek of the new season by introducing them to new houseguest Travis Long. CBS also introduced the other brand new houseguests that will be competing for the half a million-dollar grand prize this summer. Fans have had high expectations for all aspects of the new season, from the cast to the season's twists. They are not only looking for a diverse cast but a cast that will bring excitement and entertainment to the season. As longtime viewers know, the past few seasons have been a pretty big letdown.
Travis is a young one among the group being just 22 years old. He is originally from Austin, Texas. However, he once lived in Costa Rica, where he played soccer and ultimately learned to speak Spanish. Travis currently resides in Honolulu, Hawaii. There, he works as a tech sales consultant. When he's not working, Travis enjoys staying active while also being adventurous.
Some of his favorite activities include "Spearfishing, cliff jumping, cinematography, soccer, bouldering, skydiving, shark diving, sand volleyball, and surfing," according to Us Weekly. If Travis had to describe himself in three words, it would be "rambunctious, curious and strong-willed." He is not afraid to take a risk, no matter how nervous it may make him. To keep him motivated, his favorite quote to reflect on is, "So many brilliant things lay on the other side of discomfort.” If he could bring anything into the Big Brother house with him, it would be a full-size gym. Travis loves to exercise, which is no surprise from the looks of his muscles. There is no doubt Travis will be a competition beast this summer.
While he may be good at competitions, Travis has a different game strategy in mind. He plans to use his "charismatic personality" to form close connections with each of the other houseguests. However, he does not want to go too overboard with this technique. He told US Weekly, "Also not going too over the top with my friendliness and openness so I can cruise a bit under the table in group settings." Travis admires the former Big Brother duo, Brett and Winston of BB20 the most. In fact, his favorite moment in the show's history was when Brett lied about Rockstar flipping the vote in one last effort to save himself.
The other houseguests better keep an eye out for Travis because he said he is most excited to pull pranks inside the house and then put the blame on others. He even self-proclaimed himself as a prank master, constantly pulling pranks on those close to him. It sounds like he will be stirring up some drama this summer. At least he will bring some humor to the season.
Big Brother 23 premieres Wednesday, July 7 at 8 p.m. EST on CBS.
