Big Brother 12 Houseguest Profile: Enzo Palumbo
July 3, 2010 |Big Brother 12 Houseguest Profile: Enzo Palumbo
Enzo Palumbo, 32, is an insurance adjuster and real estate guy from Bayonne, New Jersey. He describes himself as “funny, likeable and obnoxious.” His favorite activities include “jogging, soccer, baseball and bocce ball.”
The most difficult part of living in the Big Brother house for Enzo is “no TV.” Yeah, we feel you on that one Enzo.

More Tidbits About Enzo Palumbo:
Enzo’s simple strategy for winning Big Brother 12 is: “Winning.” We kind of like short and simple answers, but that is a bit cocky. Enzo can’t stand “dirty people” and wants fans to know he is Italian and “I already think I’m a celebrity.”
This Italian stallion is more than happy to play to the Jersey stereotype, according to People. “When I get into that house, competition is going to be served like my mother’s baked zita,” he says. “That is how I’m going to be playing this game.”

Enzo is also convinced America and Big Brother is going to love him, he told Zap2It.com. If he could pick his favorite kind of people to make an alliance with, it would include a “good gay guy. He could play both sides of the field for me. A gay guy’s like a woman in a guy’s body, they have the emotions of a woman but can have the attitude of a guy.” Interestingly, it wasn’t the gay gay – Ragan – that Enzo ended up forming an alliance with. Instead, he hooked up with Matt, Lane and Hayden to form the Brigade. We’d love to see Enzo dump the Brigade and get with Ragan in a secret alliance. That would be too much fun, but sadly, unlikely to happen at this point.
We can’t help but wonder if Enzo might end up being one of those former Big Brother alumni who ends up in gay porn though after that statement about finding a gay guy to “play both sides of the field for me”…
Check out more interesting details we’ve dug up about Big Brother 12 Houseguest Enzo Palumbo after the jump!
Sleuthing Enzo:
Enzo has proven to be a hard nut to crack. Searches on Facebook resulted in a few vague possibilities, but nothing solid. Twitter and MySpace were a bust, as were all the other social networks we tried.
We do know Enzo Palumbo claims to have a real estate license in his CBS bio. We found a number of old listings for homes that seem to have someone listed by this name as a contact. We could not, however, track down the license or any solid place of business for him either in real estate or insurance.
Our searches for information were clouded with a number of Italians by the same name, including some random singer guy we are pretty sure isn’t this Enzo.
Our Thoughts on Enzo:
Something just doesn’t seem quite right about Enzo. Everyone has an Internet presence nowadays and he is almost non-existent, if we actually found anything real about him at all. Plus, the reference to loving Bocce ball in his CBS profile is just weird. Yes, it’s an Italian thing, but “Palumbo” is a somewhat well-known name in Bocce.
We initially thought because of all this that Enzo might be the Big Brother Saboteur. Even his name seems rather on the fake side. Turns out, we were wrong – and we admit it – but the guy is still such a stereotype sometimes he doesn’t even seem like a real person…
We thought at first Enzo was going to be one of the leading male jerks of the season. Oddly enough, the Jersey macho guy actually comes across pretty cool. He hasn’t tried to play the women that much and hasn’t hooked up with anyone, which we initially though he might before we learned he was married. He seems like a relatively decent guy, much to our surprise. Although, of course, this is TV. We have no idea what he is like in real life.
Chances of Winning:
We thought Enzo might make it pretty far just by virtue of stepping on anyone in his path. In a way, he’s kind of working that angle by doing the Brigade alliance thing. We predicted – and continue to predict – Enzo would make it near to the end of the season if he wasn’t booted out within the first few weeks. Right now he is semi-powerful as a member of the Brigade, but hasn’t pissed off many of the other Houseguests, unlike alliance members Hayden and Matt.

I don’t think the name Enzo Palumbo is strange at all! He is definitely not the Mole. Trust me on this one, he simply sounds like a typical italian guy that probably still lives at home with his parents. Which in turn explains the mention of Bocce.
I am 100% positive that he does not live at home with his parents. I know this bc I am his wife. He lives at home with me and our infant daughter. You can not find much stuff online bc we took most of it down for now simply for this season. If you want to learn more about him you will just have to watch the show
I like this guy, am looking forward to watching him this season.
Go Enzo!!
Hey everyone. I’ve known Enzo my whole life and let me tell you he is definaey someone who is capable of winning this. I know you can’t read this Enzo but all of 201 is pulling for you!!!!!
O and hi juella! (can’t spell it sorry lol)
Joella – this guy is utterly obnoxious. Every word that comes out of his mouth makes me regurgitate just a bit. And, obviously, he isn’t very bright. I mean, “they use their brains because that’s all they have..” Hey Enzo, your brain will get you pretty damn far in life! A lot further than an insurance adjuster & contestant on Big Brother, that’s for sure. And, when you say “meatheads”, aren’t you referring to yourself, too? How can you clash with yourself? You’re giving Jersey a very bad reputation, more so than Jersey Shore has, but now, the focus is on Northern Jersey. My well-educated friends and I, all of which used their brains to earn advanced degrees in fields such as chemical engineering, software programming, and mathematics, have been watching your video all day and e-mailing hilarious comments to each other while we sit on our plush, Italian leather Eames chairs in our offices with Italian marble floors and 25′ ceilings. Big Brother or the insurance office didn’t pay for any of that, by the way. It was all paid for by us, earned by using our meat-free brains.
JUST DO NOT LIKE HIM. FART BOY. NO MANNERS . WHO RAISED HIM? CAVEMEN?
Everyone is entitled to their opinions so here are mine. “Imanonymous”- you do not even have enough guts to have put your real name here. If you are so smart and classy then why do you not have anythign better to do with your time than sit and blog negatively about my husband. I too am highly educated but do not feel the need to explain and justify my life to you as you feel you need to do in order to appear sophisticated. After I read your entire reply, all I gathered is that you are a huge dork and a hater. Mark my words, Enzo will get America’s vote as favorite player and you will realize you are just jealous because you have no social skills or real life of any type. So have fun being a bitter as he will enjoy being $25k richer at the very least. Team Enzo!! Hi Mark
<3
Um, Mrs. Palumbo, what does “guts” have to do with putting your name here. If Imanonymous had put “John” or “Sue”, would that have told you who they were? Does it have any bearing what-so-ever on “what” they said? The answer is no, so why bring it up? That unfortunately speaks volumes about you, and your level of intelligence. As far as your husband is concerned, he seems like a decent guy, somewhat dumb, but affable. The only thing that disturbs me about him is that he is acting like the “stereotypical” Italian. Someone here implied he could fit right into the cast of the “Jersey Shore”. You might have him work on that when he gets home.
I would like to just say how much we all love enzo! he is the only normal decent funny person on the show this year and i really really hope he wins! And he is definatly much more intelligent then he lets on- he plays a very different game. its been alot of fun watching him this year- he’s made up for all the narcasistic sociapaths cbs decided to cast this year- so THANK YOU ENZO! AND I HOPE YOU WIN!!!!
I love Enzo!! And I am pulling for him to win. The only other ones I like are Hayden and Lane…the rest, all of them, a bunch of goofballs. GO ENZO!!! Win the Half Mill!!!
Enzo is just being true to himself and I think he is playing a good game, he’s still there isn’t he? I am an italian and originally from NJ and I don’t feel he is giving either one a bad name. To Imanonymous, you and your friends need to get over yourself, I don’t see any of you trying to win a half a million dollars,your probably not interesting enough to get on the show anyways. I never answer any of these blogs but your comments prompted me to do so. Remember this is only a game and you have no idea who Enzo or any of the players are so I suggest you stop being a hater and just enjoy the show. Go Enzo,you have my vote!!
I think enzo is the most inmature person i have ever met. Tell me mrs.palumbo does enzo walk around ,lay around playing with himself. I am so tire of seeing him with his hands down his pants how sick. I hope he gets out soon can’t stand looking or listening to him he so full of bs.
Enzo is a tool. No one from the hometown even cares about him. The local rag newspaper that is story hungry had one whopping story about him. Mrs. Palumbo, if you’re really his wife do yourself a favor and teach that clown how to chew his food with his mouth closed, OMG how annoying can he be when he eats???? Also, please take him to a stylist because it looks like a lawnmower ran over his balding head. I could keep going on why this guy is a clown, but it’s a waste of my time. P.S., I hope when he comes home I hope he tries to talk as slick as he does on the show at a local bar.
There were some funny moments last night, when Hayden was asked who would he like to see in the finlas?He said Britt and Brandon. The expression on Rachel face was speechless. When the Jury was getting their questions together for the finalist Matt told them not use big words and with some of Lane’s answers I saw what he meant. When Enzo said that he was voting for the one who needed a haircut or a shave the most.
Wow, what lives you jerks have to find a spot to trash Enzo and his family. Leave him alone! No one is perfect. I think he is one of the only people on the show that is staying true to himself and his family. At least its what you see if what you get with him.
Mrs. Palumbo, My family and I love Enzo. I hope he gets HOH this week so that he can see pictures of you and your daughter. I cant imagine how hard it must be for him. He is a strong person to be able to stay in that house. I love that he is always talking about how much he loves you and little miss. Stay strong girl and dont ever listen to these rude people on here.
Go Enzo!
Kayla, everyone has an opinion! People here are voicing there’s just as you are. You don’t know if he’s real or not, becauce YOU DON’T KNOW HIM!!! And if you LOVE someone you’ve never met, just seen them for a month and half on TV, YOU have SERIOUS problems! When you put yourself in the public eye, people are going to have opinions. If you can’t understand that…I feel really sorry for you.
Everyone does have an opinion, I never once said anything bad about you, nor was i talking to you. So you replying and telling me I have problems? There is nothing wrong with me so that must mean the problem is you.
So what your saying is my family and I cant love someone because we’ve never met them? So if i said I love music does that mean i cant love it cause I have never met it? You obviously don’t know that there are many different meanings for the word love. And I supposed i cant love big brother cause I have never actually met it.
People dont need to feel sorry for me, they might want to feel sorry for you though if you are human and cant feel love unless you meet something. That is a bit strange if you ask me.
Have a nice day.
p.s.
how can you dislike some you have never met? If I “cant like someone ive never met” then how can people dislike someone they have never met?
Enzo is disgusting! Something must be wrong with the BB houseguest because they make alliance’s with him and let him run the house. Matt needs to be voted off also to put his wife out there like that just to win a prize. Things can turn in a second and his wife could turn up with a rare disease. Ragan I am surprised at before he did not cuss now his mouth is just as bad as Enzo.
Um Kayla…this is a COMMENT page and I commented on your post. That’s what happens here…do you not understand the concept?
I’ll deal with your “p.s.” first. I never met Hitler, but I dislike him and what he did, so your statement is rather silly. YOU called others on here “jerks” for simply expressing themselves. I thought…my OPINION was the was uncalled for, therefore I COMMENTED on it. See how that works?
I never said anything about your family, the statement was directed at YOU. Learn to read and then COMPREHEND what you read. And loving a person, and loving music, food, even a TV show is totally different. However I don’t expect you to understand that, but it “is” true. But you have a nice day too:-)
The fact that you assume something is directed towards you is not my problem. The fact that you think you can watch someone on tv and dislike them is any different than watching someone on tv and liking someone is beyond me! Because its the same thing. I happen to like some people i see on tv while others happen to dislike some people they see on tv. Theres no difference cause they have never met them either. WHOAAAA IMAGINE THAT!
Like you said, people have their opinions… get over it! Everyone has opinions so leave mine alone and get on with your life. I was commenting to Enzo’s wife NOT you.
I can call whomever i want a jerk, I’m simply expressing my opinion right?!. Just like you guys being jerks telling Enzo’s wife what problems you have with him. Its as simple as that.
I don’t like Brendon, didn’t like *Brenchal* either, but now that Rachel has been kicked out, I “do” admire his determination, and kind of hope he wins. Don’t get it twisted though…I still don’t care for his personality, but he “has” won vetos and HOHs when he had to. I don’t care for Enzo, Hayden…Lane is alright, as is Britney, and I just don’t consider Ragan at all. Matt will have to answer for his lie, if not in this lifetime, then on judgment day.
Ok Kayla…after this…YOU can have the last word…but I say…get over it:-) We don’t see eye to eye, and this back and forth is just getting ridiculous. I don’t care about you, what you think, what you believe, so please just drop it. Lol
I happen to like Enzo too and I have never met the guy. I support his family. Just like everyone else on the show. Enzo’s eating habbits arent the best but no ones would be if they had a microphone right next to their mouth. If thats the worst thing you can say about someone then they must not be a bad person after all.
People want to talk about him having his hands down his pants, Have you not seen MATT before, thats all the guy does.
Everyone is entitled to their own opinion, good or bad. Chyron, you need to learn to read peoples opinions and move forward… not comment on everything just because they aren’t agreeing with you
Oh…Kayla…one more thing since as you pointed out calling people jerks was merely expressing your opinion. You’re an idiot…that’s mine.LOL
Wow someone cant get over seeing themselves type and it isnt me. Chyron get over yourself.
The end.
Jamie…look through the posts…I don’t comment on everything….as a matter of FACT, I only commented to ONE person! I “answered” Kayla’s questions, and I needed to comment to do that.
As far as Enzo putting his hand down his pants, does it somehow make it better if Matt does the same thing? Nasty is nasty regardless of who does it.
Make that two! I asked Mrs. Palumbo some things.
I read through the posts just fine thank you. You are going overboard on the response. Where did Kayla ask a question in the first place where you felt the need to answer it, cause from readin i dont see a question on the first comment he/she made.
You said everyone is entitled to their own opinion so why bash others opinions? you have yours, I have mine and Kayla has Kayla’s.
Thank you Jamie. I do not know what I apparently asked in the first place for “chyron” to star commenting on my post. Oh well, chyron just wants to talk and thats what “she?” is doing so whatever, its not going to ruin my life. haha
GO MEOW MEOW ! VIrginia Loves the Meow meow!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! U go ENZO!!!!
I wonder why Enzo is eating and drinking before his time is up ? He needs a penalty vote ! That’s not fair to other seasons HG.
Just so everyone on this website knows everyone from his hometown does care about Enzo and we all support him and hope that he comes home a winner. He is a good guy that comes from a good family and his wife and daughter are the sweetest. You could not like him that’s fine but that is because you don’t know him. He made alliances and is still in the game and that says a lot. Physically he hasn’t been the best but let us not forget that before Lane won HOH he won nothing. They were in the same boat they made alliances with the right people from the start and that has helped them stay in the game, which we should not forget is a crucial part to the game. I don’t get why everyone has a problem with people who act like stereotypical italians why because “us” people from jersey have accents and may say br a lot give me a break. Enzo we are ALL routing for you in Bayonne and we hope you win for everyone who loves him vote vote vote for fan favorite !!! because he is our favorite here!!!!!
You commented on how great a husband and father Enzo I congratulate you on standing by your man. But I don’t understand how you can blog about his greatness when every word that comes out of his mouth is a cuss word. To my understanding he must speak to you and your children like that everyday! He is demonstrating on national TV how he lives daily. He just cannot come on turn on a mouth like unless he must live it. He disrepects all women, children, and the families that watch Big Brother. But you can only live what you learn.
Enzo acts like a sterotypical “guido”! I don’t know if he like that in real life, but in the BB house that’s the role he plays. His “character” would fit very nicely with the cast of the “Jersey Shore” Mr meow meow needs to get evicted so he can be with Mrs meow meow, and they can play that role together.
Wow u guys really are cluseels. Enzo is a horrible person because he curses? Seriously?? So apparently, u are all holier than thou, right? Give me a break and get off of your high horses. He DID play a good social game, was friendly with everyone and if snickering while telling Britney about the brigade makes him a horrible person, than I’m going straight to hell cause I laughed my ass off!! She deserved it. She is a vile human being. Oh no!! Enzo curses and eats like it’s his last meal! Let’s stone him to death!! Get over yourselves
@ 201-Enzo just may be “Mr. Nice Guy”…I’m not knocking him for that….I JUST DON’T LIKE HIM….I don’t like the way he eat his food like it’s the last meal he’ll ever get…I can’t stand his LAZY ASS workouts…I don’t like his hair….I don’t like his wide hips…his balding head and I don’t like HIS WEAK ASS GAME PLAY but I do like how he’s pulling ALL of the strings of the other players and for that reason only….I THINK HE SHOULD WIN THE GAME!!!!!!!!!
Thank you for mentioning the eating. He is absolutely disgusting. I would be horrified if I were married to him and had to eat with him each day. I would die.
Also, as he shares on livestream…. the eminem and rhianna song reminds him of his current relationship?? He beats her? uh.
I am related to Enzo’s ex-girlfriend..who he was physically abusive to even when she was pregnant with his child (she ended up terminating the pregnancy altho he wanted to keep it and get married)
His wife’s posts on facebook are always just about HIM HIM HIM – she is one of those people who feel the need to post every waking moment of her life on facebook when really nobody cares!!!..i know friends of hers personally who play into the whole “team enzo” thing to her face but behind her back agree she needs to get a life of her own and at least occasionally speak of something else besides him and the show …sorry to be a hater but it had to be said…its pathetic….
I LOVE Enzo!!! He is hillarious! This season was just a bunch of clowns! Britney is the biggest spoiled brat ever who talks smack about everyone and is working all of them, except Enzo! Enzo knows the deal with her! If they dont get her out, she will win this whole thing! Enzo is the man, he is just being himself and staying tru to his his wife and daughter. Unlike Britney who is on the verge is cheating on her fiance, even though she has already cheated mentally. Enzo seems like a real cool, chill loyal man, who is funny as hell! GOOO ENZO! get that half mil!!
)
Enzo could be the greatest guy in the world …..BUT he smacks so loudly when he’s eating, GROSS,close your mouth PuHLEASE so the viewers don’t have to mute or forward through your disgusting noshing sessions…..I am surprised the other HG’s haven’t brought it up yet,worse than Nastalie of BB11…….Maybe he can trade in the 3D TV for some Etiquette classes…JMHO
Hey Hey everyone.. I just want to point something out to you all MRS. Palumbo are you LISTENING. Enzo is not as dumb as you all would like to think…. He is the one who thought of the Brigade and now he is in the final 3. Cocky yes but correct obviously. Say what you will I have a feeling Enzo who wants to win this so his lovely wife (have you seen the pictures!!!??)can stay home with their baby girl. Not only is that sexy but classy. Remeber folks they edit the crap out of that show so everyone will keep watching. I hope he wins!! Then MR. & MRS. Palumbo can spend all the time they need or want at home with their baby girl.
Melody in California
If in deed Enzo wins the big bucks this season, I will know for sure that money is the root of all evil ! And, maybe, just maybe His wife is brain washed by him because he never seems to shut his mouth not even to eat !
Mrs. Palumbo… I have to tell you, your husband really did grow on me throughout the season. At first, I wasn’t sure I liked him. Since I have Showtime, I record the After Dark every night. You really see more of all of the houseguests watching what isn’t shown on network TV. He cracks me up. My husband says HE is the brains of the Brigade and I seriously think so!!!
))) PS) you are very pretty!
Its obvious that he really loves you and your baby girl!~
I sincerely hope he wins
Greatings,
And hello Juella i guess you are watching the afterdark? Enzo is one of my three favorite, Rachelle and Brandon. Least favorite are Regan and Britney.
Enzo along with Evel Dick and dr.Will are my favorite all time BBplayers.
I got a feeling that Enzo wins in the end if he is one of the final two. If not he’ll win the 25k.
I can see Enzo doing comericals and movies, tell him to get a agent. Also tell him to come back to host a pov or hoh competition, he’d be great at it.
My favorite Enzo moments was him in the Pengiun outfit, even tho he hated it. Also Enzo beating Regan in that one pov competition.
Cheers to you and Enzo!
It’s just so obvious that Mrs. Palumbo is writing most if these I love Enzo,your pretty Joella comments,Lame almost as lame as your gross hubby .The guy is a douche nozzle!!I would be horrified if my husband was on national tv with his hand down his pants in front of The cameras and fellow Hg’s and doesn’t even have the courtesy to shut his big ole’ pie hole while he devours his food like a ravenous Wolfe,SO Nasty!I’m sure your baby girl will be so proud of her Dada when she’s 15 and watching the BB12 season with her friends from school.Poor kid,he sucks in the game with only one pov that he pretty much trampled someone half his size to win!Go Enzo,all the way back to NJ,your 15 minutes are almost up
Directed to So blatantly obvi …
I wished I were really Mrs. Palumbo! Sadly, you are mistaken.
But I have to ask….where is YOUR 15 minutes of fame? Oh thats right….you’ve never had it. I’ll bet if you were on TV, we’d be watching you pick your nose!!!!! BTW, if Enzo is that bad…why do you watch it?
so blatantly ob.. I am all the way in Sacramento Ca I don’t know Mrs. Palumbo Im with jenny all of you who post negative things. It takes a real strong human to log on to a webpage/blog and attack a woman you have never met. Enzo has the best social game I have ever seen.. hate all you want. I can’t wait tell he wins.. at the very least he has made it farther then any of you detractors would have. Again Joella doesn’t care about any of you.. and Neither do I. Get over yourself. As Enzo said in the live feeds “don’t be jel… its not a good look on you.” I personal don’t care eat all the peanut butter and jealous sandwichs you like. I hope you enjoy the taste of you negativity.
~Melody in SaCRAMENTO CA
As a born and raised South Jersey Italian I have to say Enzo is the poorest representation of our culture!! I have NEVER known any Italian to act like Enzo does. Joella it really doesn’t say much for your standards to be married to someone that would act that ignorant on national TV. Not only is he ugly with bad hair, he has the most disgusting eating habits and hygiene I have ever witnessed. Who smacks their lips like that when they eat except maybe a 2yo. What a disgusting human being who has to have his hands down his pants scratching his balls constantly then smells his fingers…JUST PLAIN REVOLTING!!! He has not had a single intelligent comment the entire season. He agrees with everything anyone says, whether it is true or not. You and he are dillusional to think anyone really likes him or that he will have anything other than this “15mins” of fame on the worst season ever of BB. HE JUST GIVES NEW JERSEY A BAD NAME.
Gotta agree with Carol. Enzo is a disgrace. “If it’s from Bayonne, leave it alone”. To the genius who said there’s editing done, how do you defend his action on After Dark??? The guy has the manners of an Ogre…sorry I just put down an Ogre. No, the microphone behind close to his mouth has nothing to do with th horrible sounds that come out of his pie hole. No other guests sound like that. Here’s some advice for Mrs Palumbo…teach your husband to chew with his mouth closed, teach him a more extensive vocabulary, teach him to stop acting like a tough guy, teach him how to style that half a head of hair, teach him it’s not polite to masturbate in front of others than brag about it. He is an ugly human being. I KNOW he doesnt walk around back in his home town being that brash.
