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 think everyone is forgetting that this is a show…..I dont’t know Enzo and can only comment what he has represented himself as while in the BB House….I love what I see, I think he is being true to himself and any Italian or American Italian should be proud that he has decided to embrace his heritage. I hope that Enzo goes all the way..He is a caring and sincere guy….from what I have been able to observe in tv land…
This comment is to BBFAN….How can you say that Enzo is an UGLY HUMAN BEING as you put it…What are you nuts, kinda harsh don’t you think…I can understand that he may not be your cup of tea, but get a grip, Ugly he is not…It’s a show people…they are playing a game. Jeez….
@BBfan britney and ragan are the ugly human beings, look what they have done. I mean they talk crap about everyone behind everyones backs, and when everyone leaves they still talk crap about them. Britney more so then Ragan.
Enzo is a funny guy…
I loved when they played Jenga on bbad…LOL
whats up everyone? just wanted to say I know enzo a real long time. I know it may seem a lil crazy but nothing enzo has said or did in the house is any different then how he is in real life.He is a great guy, and so is all of his family that i have the pleasure of knowing also (jackie, teresa, whats up guys if your readin this) Havent talked to him in a lil while but just met his wife about two weeks ago and shes also really nice. So anyway I know you cant read this but good luck Enzo !!! Get that money and bring it home (201) to your fam!!!
Okayyy, well. Having your gang rush in on two people hnvaig sex to publicly embarrass them: piglike, as in chauvinist pig; person who treats at least a portion of the women he knows like a piece of meat.On the other hand, he could be gallant, funny, charming as he generally was around Britney. Have you never noticed the double standard? For example, those who treat their own good white folks with great deference, then turn on black people for example, treating them worse than animals. It is possible to have a mixture of attractive and repulsive qualities in the same person, don’t you think?
I must say that I stumbled upon this website by accident. I can not believe that people actually have time or energy to sit here and get so hostile over someone they do not know. Get over it! It’s a TV Show – A Competition. You don’t have to like him. What kind of people are you trashing someone you don’t know. Believing that his wife on here?!?! That is Ignorant – I know for certain she would not participate in this ridiculousness and negativity. As for the ex-girlfriends friend – Really? There is no comparison! Try focusing on important things in life and realize it’s a reality show. Meow Meow
Poor Enzo,Don’t think Lane or Hayden will be dragging you to the F2!Oh well you were good for a few laughs this summer….
You people who say Enzo represents Italian AMericans good are a DISGRACE!!!! He is a moron with no social graces. He is almost as bad a reflection on Italians from NJ as those clowns on Jersey Shore.
Big brother is a game show, nothing more. People who trash people on these things really have nothing better to do. I found this site by accident too but I do watch the show. It’s a show people. Next year it will be a whole new group of people. Enzo is there because he got picked along with Regan, Lane, Brit, etc. It your person doesn’t win, then so be it. It’s not like any of them is splitting the half mil with us anyway. Just watch the show and be genuinely happy for whoever wins. Negativity is not healthy for anyone. Enzo has my vote. If someone else wins, I’ll still be just as happy for them. No haters in the house.
Did you heaar about Lane’s 8 second rodeo? Might cgnahe your opinion. I don’t think he is a very nice guy. Maybe a bully with a football player mentality. He’s the kind of guy that wears the biggest cowboy hat, biggest belt buckle, biggest pinkie ring, drives the biggest car(Lincoln or Cadillac, biggest pick-up, and has a girl on each arm. the thing is, the guy that does this isn’t trying to show off to get women, he’s doing it to show other guys. Go figure. But then again, maybe that’s just the Texas mentality. I remember in the beginning, he was telling another hg how to beat somebody up. He doesn’t deserve Brittany. He’s just a big windbag blowhard. Hey, Lane??? Get a job
Yo Enzo!
I hope you have time to read this when you get out! We are all pulling for here in NJ. You could easily land a cameo film which could lead to other projects…
If you are Enzo’s wide, you need to hire a top flight agent. With all of the “straight to video” flicks in the rental market today it is a huge plus to have anyone with a “name” to be featured in captioned slot on front of a dvd binder or on an online ad.
The novelty of a having a witty and funny person like Enzo having even a small part in “b” film market would be an explorable issue. Even though the pay is nowhere near what a feature film would bring it is nothing to sneeze at either.
He has the world ahead of him and he will do well.
Yo Enzo! ps (I posted the first post in error as I hit submit before I could “proof” it, my bad)

If you are Enzo’s wife, you need to hire or at least contact a top flight talent agent who has experience with reality stars.

@ Nats…You obviously are NOT an Italian of any sort if you think Enzo is a good representation of us. My relatives that came to this country and my American-Italian relatives would NEVER act or say the things Enzo does. If he could act that immoral and disgusting on National TV, whether it be “acting it up” for cameras or not, he is by far the most ignorant and deplorable poor excuse of a man I have ever witnessed. It just proves the fact that all south Jersey people already know and that is that North Jersey wanna-be Italians are uneducated, rediculous, ignorant people who are not worthy of the attention they are receiving. As for the “reality” show and money. I have EARNED money the correct way…with respect and dignity for MYSELF and my family, neither of which I feel Enzo has done.
@ EnzoisaTOOL….You obviously know what I am talking about. Thank You.
@De Angelo…Another “Vinnie Botta Bing” uneducated North Jersey Italian wanna be.
The only fame Enzo will get after this show might be in a really bad Porno..that would even be a stretch considering he is balding, ugly and out of shape.
saw what you wanted to see. At that point Lane could not afrofd to cross the brigade members. As he said later, he really wanted to take Brittney to F2. Enzo was so full of himself that he could not wait to destroy Brittney. I don’t Hayden wanted to hurt Brittney either. He wouldn’t be snickering at her while he told her. I am so glad that all Enzo got was a TV &the stipend that everyone got . Goodbye Enzo. Hopefully we will never hear from him again!
I changed my mind about Enzo after last night. His wife said something about how her husbands ideas were used in the game and no one even knows it. That happens all the time in colleges and in the workforce so others can and do advance themsevles. Maybe, it is a lack of social skills but it still is not right! Good luck to all 3 !
Posted on Superb! Generally I never read whole artciles but the way you wrote this information is simply amazing and this kept my interest in reading and I enjoyed it.
(@ carol from sj ) lmao listen… I was just showing a friend some love so who the hell are you to come and verbally attack people for there opinions. btw I am well educated and a real italian not a wanna be. I am so educated that im not goin to waste a whole lot of time on you besides to say you need to get a life!!p.s jealousy gets you nowhere u p.o.s
Is it me or is this the most boring no drama too much loyalty for BB ever? I have to make myself watch showtime and Im a huge fan of BB.
@ deangelo…here’s the concept..try hard to follow…this is a PUBLIC forum. They are meant for people to post their opinions of different subject matters. My opinions for BBAD are about how stupid Enzo portrays himself and how even more stupid people must be to think that behavior is acceptable in our society and befriend someone of such poor moral character. I would be entirely mortified to admit that was my friend, husband or son. Just saying MY OPINIONS ON A PUBLIC FORUM. I am in NOOOO way jealous of such. I have time to place my opinion because I can afford to sit here in front of my computer and do so.
If the shoe fits ya don’t hate me for pointing it out!!
(@carol from sj) uhhh.. … duhhh uh tryin hard to follow ya. OK so I agree with what your sayin and this will be my last post cause frankly your a waste of time, everyone is suppose to be able to post their opinions but when your opinion directly offends me or friends of mine you better be ready foy my strongest opinions as such.. you have no idea who or what your talkin about. So just s.t.f.u!!! p.s dont bother posting back …your not worth another reply.
I personally don’t care who likes my opinions on this forum. If you don’t want the public to post an opinion about you or your actions than you should not put yourself out there on a National Public TV show for all to comment on. Certain people on this site who supposedly are defending their “friend” that I have “offended” with my truthful posts are utterly rediculous. Enzo’s entire behavior for the entire season BB12 has been offensive to all of America and I will post my opinion of it every day just because I CAN!!
God Bless America and the FREEDOM OF SPEECH!!
Mrs. Palumbo, I love your husband! Me and my sister have been rooting for him since day one. I wish I knew him in real life. You are lucky to know/be married to such a awesome and funny guy.
Annie Said it best ENZO THOUGHT OF THE BRIGADE AND HE MANIPULATED EVERYONE SO WELL THAT THEY DIDN’T EVEN KNOW THAT THEY WERE BEING MANIPULATED!!! He may not have won any $ but Hair DO hayden said it himself he had the best Social game in big brother history. Enzo is the big brother GODFATHER!! Haters are gonna love it when ENZO is a regular on TV… MEOW MEOW!!
Annie is just a regular person with an opinion. She is not a BB expert, she does not have an advanced degree on the game. In fact considering she was the first one out, I’d say her BB skills suck! Other people here felt Enzo played a good game. others thought he didn’t…bottom line…he lost! And as far as him having a career on TV, I’m sure he’d be a welcome addition to the *Jersey Shore*. And why do some idiots think that once you’ve made it onto TV you’ve “made it”? Enzo would impress “me” if he went BACK to school, got a college degree, then perhaps a grad degree, and contributed something to society besides “meow meow”and “yo”. Education I see is not something to be admired by you now is it?
Enzo Palumbo:
Thank you Jesus that Enzo Palumbo did not win Big Brother. I was so tired of hearing his mouth, and he acts as if he is the first person to start an alliance. (YAWN)….
Enzo Palumbo go back to Jersey. You have a family to support.
Enzo wanted Britney off the show so bad, but I guess America showed Enzo Palumbo who America really liked. And it wasn’t him.
Enzo Palumbo, you’re all mouth. Now talk your way to Jersey.
Enzo Palumbo, America really doesn’t like you at all….
Enzo Palumbo is not the 1st nor the last to start an alliance. He isnt the smartest cookie in the batch, and he sure cannot compete.
He whined and meowed meowed all throught the show thinking the public loved him, when we know that Britney was America’s sweetheart.
Enzo, please!!!! BE QUIET FOR A MINUTE.
Sorry Big Brother but this season was boring. All they did was play pool and talk about how famous they think they are going to be. I was shocked Britney won for America’s choice. I thought she was too mean with her comments towards other roommates and she drove me crazy with her picking at her cuticles. She never came up for air. She even was picking her skin on her legs. Enzo represents Enzo and not us Italians. He needs to learn manners. Hayden came out strong in the beginning winning HOH and then realized to lay low util it got closer to end. He came back full force again winning three HOH in the end. Hayden knew what he was doing from the start.
Hey Enzo, So i one hundred percent thought you would have won, or at worst been in second place. If i was given the ability to vote for my favorite player, after the final eviction. It would have been you for sure. Both you and Brit are hilarious, but I think we all would have voted for you if we where given the chance. Especially cause you have a family to provide for. Anyways, big brother screwed that one up for ya.
you made the show.
Take it easy.

You people have way to much hate going on. The guy went on a damn t.v. show and was being himself. Everyone in the house liked him and most of the general public took to him as well. I’m proud of the way he represented N.J. He didn’t lie, didn’t act fake, didn’t start trouble. He was nice to everyone in the house and make people laugh. Sure he chews a little loud and may be open to farting in the shower. You guys do nothing disgusting? I wouldn’t last 10 mins on big brother, I would smack half those people in the house. Enzo didn’t! He was able to get them to laugh and love him.
Now that Enzo lost – won no money at all…the meow meow family is sure not bragging on Facebook/blogs anymore….thank god
hopefully their bubble was burst and they can come back to reality…
also pretty obvious its his wife/wife’s friends that are writing all the good things about him…no comparison?! get over yourself…thats why in all his wife’s pictures she poses to the side…for some reason she must not feel looking straight into the camera…only lookin good from one angle I guess…
you were funny
