Omid Brunson

 was the runner-up of Big Brother 1.

Omid relied on many people during his season. He decided to play the game by laying low and forming bonds with his fellow houseguests. He was also known for his duo with Samantha Adamson and his showmance with Robin Hale in the second half of the game. Omid started the game in a three-person alliance with Carla and Samantha, with his two allies being nominated in the first three weeks of the game. Despite losing Carla during Week 3, Omid didn't let this affect his game. He continued to lay low until Robin's HoH reign in Week 5. Both Omid and Samantha had the power to flip to Robin's side and take out one of the biggest threats, Christine McGraw. With much discussion, they ended up flipping, evicting Christine. Despite also making the move, Omid wasn't regarded as much for the move as much as Samantha was. This allowed Omid to continue laying low while staying in a good position with both sides of the house. He started developing feelings for Robin, and Robin felt the same. Unfortunately, Robin ended up getting evicted at the Final Six. Omid was then in a big spot when he won the Final Four Veto and had the power to evict Cris Peters or evict his ally, Samantha. Despite Cris' pleading, Omid ended up evicting Cris, which proved to be a mistake a week later. When Omid made it to the Final Two chairs with Samantha, the jury didn't respect his game, due to him playing under the radar and rubbing multiple houseguests the wrong way with his gameplay. The jury ended up respecting Samantha's game more, and Omid lost with a 6-3 vote, becoming the first ever runner-up.
