Big Brother 14: Jodi Rollins Houseguest Profile
July 10, 2012 |At 42, CBS Big Brother 14 cast member Jodi Rollins is the oldest houseguest this year. She also happens to be one of the biggest fans of the show in the house, from what we can tell. Self-proclained superfan Jodi Rollins has never missed a single season of Big Brother, watches the Big Brother live feeds like an addict, never misses Big Brother After Dark, and she loves every aspect of the game — except shallow airheads who just want to be famous.
Well, I’m afraid poor Jodi will probably have to deal with a few of those this season. The biggest problem for Jodi may be her possible inability to connect with the younger players in the house and build strong relationships.
Waitress, sorry, restaurant server Jodi Rollins is originally from Centennial, Colorado but now lives in Brawley, California according to her Facebook profile. (Calipatria, CA according to her CBS profile.) She is also quite recently married (9 months) and has FIVE step-children. Sadly her Facebook provides little information beyond some cute photos of her husband and lots of wedding pics. So, there will be no showmancing for this girl!
When the first Big Brother 14 promos came out, before the houseguests were officially named, some folks actually thought Jodi was Kalia Booker from BB13 coming back to the house. There are still quite a few out there who keep comparing her to Kalia, but I think better of Jodi already than I ever did of Kalia. Thankfully, it seems that Jodi has a much more rational and thoughtful head on her shoulders. We’d love to know what she Tweets about on a daily basis, but unfortunately she’s made her feed private.
One strategic move Jodi wants to make is to observe the other houseguests carefully, and then pick out someone she thinks is trustworthy to align with that others might not suspect she would hook up with. For example, someone with tattoos and crazy hair… hmmm… someone like Jenn Arroyo perhaps?
Jodi says she doesn’t want to be one of those evil, mean types who just are cruel and hurt people, but she does know that sometimes on Big Brother, you do have to lie and backstab to get ahead. She feels she will probably have to reveal she is a Big Brother fan because if she gets caught lying about it, it would go badly.
Also, she absolutely HATES floaters, just so you know.
Despite being the older woman of the house, Jodi isn’t really interested in the ‘mothering’ role in the Big Brother 14 house, according to some things she’s said in her preseason interviews. Maybe that’s because in real life she has those 5 step-kids to deal with. (Frankly I’d be ready to be locked up in the BB14 house for a good long while after dealing with 5 step-kids too.)
As far as we can tell, Jodi Rollins doesn’t really have the whole fame-seeking insanity going on, and she doesn’t have her head shot up on a whole bunch of wannabe casting sites or moonlight as a local theater actor trying to break into the big time. Jodi really does honestly seem like a huge fan of Big Brother who was lucky enough to actually end up on the show. Personally, I like that.
Eviction: Jodi Rollins was the first houseguest to be evicted on Big Brother 14.

Jodi got on my nerves.. this white washed fat black monster never married and was so desperate for the white man she married one with 5 children???? What a joke
Quite ignorant Drew. She wasn’t fit for the teddy bear comp. but do you really need to stoop so low as to call her out on her marriage?
And does being black mean she had to be ghetto? I’m black, and I went to USC…
and look I can type!
Please refrain from making yourself look like a well…you know…
Ignorance is quite ugly, and frankly stupid.
Agree with Mish Drew, 100%. I am not black, but what does the color of skin have to do with anything?
I am not certain from where you came, how you were raised, or what you know, but you should pick up and read a book before making ignorant comments.
Adam made the worst move tonight when he did not use the POV and put Jordan on the block and get her sent to jury. He acutllay might of had a chance then. He has not made any good moves in this game at all. I guess all the bacon has his mind bakin.
Big Brother, I admit I watched it, 12 Newbees and 4 Veterans, total 16 Contestants. Only 1 African American, Jodi. She was the last one picked for teams, and the first one picked to leave the show. Two interesting social observations. BB only had 1 African American out 16. And she was thought so little of before anyone had a chance to know her that she chosen Last of all the players, and picked first to leave the show. Last in, First out. Hmmm, sounds familiar.
I thought that totally sucked personally. I was looking forward to seeing Jodi play, especially since she’s a true fan.
I agree, Laura, how the events leading up to Jodi’s demise, but I believe she is 1/16 to being a true BB fan.
I totally agree with you. I knew as soon as I seen the cast, that she would be voted out first.
she was picked last, because Jodi doesn’t even resemble a person with any athletic ability…honestly Ian looks like he could run and jump higher than her. plus i doubt there are a slew a black people signing up to be on Big Brother. i doubt it is a race thing and I’m a black man…not an African Amercian…black folk come from many places other than Africa…Jamaica, hell even Europe..stop being so Politically Correct..the effort sometimes screams closet racist
Jodi wouldn’t have lasted long regardless…she would have left second if not for leaving first.
I think Drew was really attempting to say her personality was vanilla. Just plain boring. Didn’t take much to figure that out.
Upon seeing Jodi, I KNEW she would be the first one kicked out. I figured if she was slim there was a slight chance they’d have kept her but she looked out of condition so no wins there. What I didn’t appreciate was when Danielle said to Dan “she needs to go, she looks like she would give us an attitude/problem” And I was like why would she say that unless she was racist. Jodi was always smiling, so how did Dani come to that conclusion.
