Biography[edit | edit source]
Amalia Combs was born and raised in Florida. She developed a love for animals as a child, and as a result grew up to be a veterinary technician. She was seen as a "dumb blonde" character, making several comments during pre-season interviews and in the House that were humorous to the viewers. She cited no social media as the hardest part of being inside the House, and listed her strategy as being kind to the other housemates to make friends. She did not have a favorite former housemate, as she had not seen the show prior to being cast. She was scouted for the series by the casting director in a local bar. She listed bonding with the animals, going out with her friends, and binge watching crime shows as her favorite things to do.
Amalia entered the House on Day 1. Ian was crowned the first Head of Household that night, and within thirty minutes was required to make his nominations for the week. He chose Amalia and Nick, due to having spoke to them the least out of all the housemates. Though she was upset over her nominations, Nick continued to rub the others the wrong way. Several housemates confirmed with Amalia that she would be safe this week. Despite this, Nick won that week's Power of Veto, and Sam was nominated as a replacement nominee. Though Ian and his allies campaigned on her behalf, the housemates considered keeping Sam in the game this week. Amalia attempted to campaign for herself, though grew overwhelmed with the realities of the game. She was evicted from the House on Day 9.
Outside of her contractual obligations to appear on The Big Brother Mash-Up the night of her eviction and the season finale, Amalia has not returned to the series since the season concluded. Though she does not keep up with the show, she has spoken fondly about her time in the House. She still keeps in contact with fellow housemates Jasmin and Max, the former of which she had a close friendship with in the game. She has done some acting and modeling work since appearing on the show, and garnered a large following on social media.
