Sixteen strangers are now sequestered inside the "Big Brother" house in California. And one of the competitors is a South Jersey man who's hoping to win the half-million-dollar prize.
The ninth season of the CBS television show "Big Brother" debuts Tuesday night (Feb. 12th) at 9pm.
The house guests -- nine men and seven women -- were each matched up with a partner and will share a bed with a person who could be their soulmate or their worst nightmare.
Adam Jasinski, 29, grew up in the Cherry Hill, NJ area:
"I am an alpha male. I'm pretty much self-centered. I love myself."
That's Jasinski in a promo clip. He is now sequestered inside the Big Brother house, where every move by every occupant will be monitored by cameras 24/7.
Jasinski works in Del Ray Beach, Florida as a promotional manager for an autism foundation. His father, Adam Sr., says his son will make an impression:
"Well, he has more than a bubbly personality."
He says his son is also very clever:
"He'll do fine as long as he and his partner get along. They'll have a better than 50 percent chance of winning."
Adam Sr. notes that the prize is $500,000:
"I really hope he wins, because he wants to give part of his winnings to the Autism Foundation."
