Biography
Mitchell Dean was born and raised in West Virginia. He knew he was gay from a young age, and initially struggled with gaining acceptance from his family. Despite some setbacks, he has now found happiness. He was engaged to be married prior to entering the House, and aimed for a Halloween wedding. He auditioned for the series after being persuaded by his fiancé, who believed that he would do well in the series. Mitchell has been described as "laid back" and "chill", though he admits to having a temper at times. His strategy going into the House was to sit back and allow others to out themselves and get evicted on their own terms, before stepping up in the latter half and making big moves. He hoped to use the prize money from the show, should he win, to have an amazing wedding and honeymoon.

Mitchell entered the House on Day 1. He formed bonds with several of the men right off the bat, and immediately clashed with housemate Bree. The pair had a volatile relationship until her eviction in the first week. He was close with Leslie and Shavan, and the trio formed the Bomb Squad alliance in the first week. When the House began to turn on the male alliance in the game, Mitchell and his allies formed the Secret Six alliance, and Leslie led the charge to evict the strong men in the House. The alliance succeeded in flipping the vote in the second week, as well as evicted Brad and Brandon in the third and fourth weeks. During the show's first double eviction, Leslie and Shavan were nominated for eviction. Mitchell won that night's Power of Veto competition, and removed Leslie from the block in hopes of keeping his Bomb Squad alliance intact. The plan worked, and Kat was evicted that night. This made Mitchell the first housemate in the show's history to exercise the Power of Veto. Shavan became the next Head of Household, and targeted Ozzie for eviction. Mitchell backed up his ally, and helped achieve his goal of evicting Ozzie.

Leslie came into power the next week, marking the second week in a row that the Bomb Squad controlled the nominations. Despite their success, Mitchell and Shavan began to fear that Leslie was too good of a player, and would have to be dealt with soon. The alliance continued to work together for now, evicting Stallone from the House that week. When Annalise became the new HoH, she nominated Leslie and Mitchell for eviction. He went on to win his second Power of Veto that week, and saved himself from the chopping block; Shavan was named the replacement nominee. Mitch worked hard to gain the votes for Shavan, and was successful. In that night's double eviction, Mitchell won his first Head of Household competition. He nominated Annalise and Tia for eviction, and when Tia was Vetoed he nominated Andy in her place. Annalise was evicted from the House. Mitchell and Shavan were nominated the next week, though Andy won the Power of Veto and chose to save Shavan. This led to Tia being the replacement nominee, and she was subsequently evicted. Mitchell was nominated once more in the final four, when Tommie won the final Power of Veto and removed herself from the block. She chose to evict Mitchell on Day 65. He voted for Shavan to win the season.

Upon leaving the House, Mitchell returned to a fairly normal life. He and Seth got married on Halloween as planned, and the couple have continued to live happy lives. Though having an appreciation for his time spent in the House, Mitchell has not returned to the series in any capacity since the first season.
