Jessie "Young Gunz" Godderz from Big Brother

For those habitual viewers of Big Brother, a big surprise came our way this season - the triumphant return of Jessie Godderz. Love him or hate him, we all remember the muscle-bound ego maniac from season ten of Big Brother, and now we get even more enjoyment out him this summer. Have you ever wondered what Jessie "Young Gunz" Godderz does when he is not flexing for the Big Brother cameras? Let's take a look at this bodybuilder and his life outside the house.

Born on April 23, 1986, in the small town of Rudd, Iowa, Jessie Godderz graduated high school and became a Train Conductor for Union Pacific Railway. After that, he gained a passion for fitness and moved to California to become a professional bodybuilder.

Jessie Godderz has won many awards for his impressive bodybuilding skills. Jessie would like to use his fame and knowledge from both his professional career and his Big Brother stints to inspire people of all walks and ages to be more active and raise awareness towards fitness in America. One of Jessie's favorite past times is communicating with the many people whose lives have been touched by his hard work and dedication.

In 2005, Jessie Godderz starred in an episode of MTV's Next which helped him get cast as a housemate on season ten of the CBS reality contest Big Brother. After a season of backstabbing and deal making, Jessie became a household name, though not always in the best of lights. After the eviction of Stephen, an openly homosexual housemate, rumors started flying that Jessie Godderz had his own struggles with his sexuality. True or not, these rumors were uncalled for and did not please Jessie Godderz or his family.

When Jessie became the very first twist of season eleven Big Brother, the internet was again abuzz with messages and rumors about the youngest professional bodybuilder turned reality star. You can catch Jessie Godderz, and the rest of the cast, on CBS every Sunday, Tuesday, and Thursday on Big Brother 11.

    I have to agree this show is very addictive. Although this is the 1st season I've watched from the start, I'm unsure of Jessie. Russell is my favorite from the show :) .
