Hayden Edward Voss was a houseguest on Big Brother 16. Early in the house, Hayden grew close to fellow houseguest Nicole, and they formed a romantic relationship. He and Nicole formed an alliance with Christine. He also became the last member of The Bomb Squad before the alliance ended. In week 6, his alliance member Jocasta Odom was blindsided during the first half of the first Double Eviction, thus leaving Hayden, Nicole, and Donny Thompson on the outs. When he failed to win HOH, Hayden was nominated against Donny by Caleb Reynolds, during the second half of the first double eviction. After Donny won the POV, Hayden was nominated against Nicole, sealing his fate, and he was evicted by a vote of 5 to 2. He placed 10th and was the second member of the jury.

Three adjectives that describe you: Funny, outgoing and creative.
Do you have a strategy for winning Big Brother?: Yes, my outer personality will be a perfect cover for the secret competitor that I truly am. I am the funny guy, I'm young and immature which will play to my advantage; but I'm also a marathoner, a former college hockey player and a very smart and creative thinker. I will never throw a competition and I won’t lie about who I am or my life, but I'm willing to backstab people. I will seek an alliance very early on with the guys, and I am not considering a showmance. I know I can win this game with my charm and underlying physical and mental talent.
What are you afraid of: Not living up to other people's expectations.
What is the accomplishment you are most proud of: I moved to California all by myself. Also, I ran a marathon. It's a toss-up.
Finish this sentence: My life’s motto is… To always get my laugh out of it. What would you take into the house and why: iPod: to listen to music, it would bring me back to reality whenever I feel like I'm going crazy. Guitar: I don't play, but I assume there's a lot of free time so maybe I could learn. Camera: unlimited Big Brother selfies to post on Instagram when I go back home.

Hayden is a Pedicab driver who recently moved to Los Angeles without knowing a soul. This self-described “Player” plans on using his "surfer dude" exterior to his advantage while in the Big Brother house.[1]
