Kat Newsome

Kat Newsome is a housemate on the first season of Big Brother. Kat was born and raised in Arkansas. She described herself as "quirky" and "awkward", and believed her biggest advantage would be her ability to remain silent and coast to the end of the game. She had a love for makeup and special effects, having a popular YouTube channel. She additionally was a frequent cosplayer, appearing at multiple conventions across the country.

BB1
Kat entered the House on Day 1. While remaining friendly with several housemates, she opted not to become involved in any major alliances in the House. With the House divide becoming clear in the second week, Kat teamed up with Andy to play both sides and help each other make it to the end. Despite her plan, the housemates began to catch on to her double agent ways. Brandon and Stallone attempted to make Kat the target for the week, and as a result exposed her game to the other housemates. Though their plan failed and Brandon was evicted that week, Kat followed him out the door only minutes later during the show's first double eviction.

Post-season
Since her time in the House, Kat has worked on expanding her social media following. She attempted to start a serious acting career, though didn't land roles outside of a few independent films. She went on to have a successful career as a makeup artist for celebrities, as well as a strong YouTube following.

Spin-offs
Kat has declined to participate in any of the show's spin-off seasons.
