Jessie Godderz was a houseguest on Big Brother 10 (US) and Big Brother 11 (US).
In Big Brother 10 (US), Jessie was known for his dislike towards Renny Martyn, intervention in a heated argument involving Keesha Smith, Libra Thompson, and April Dowling during Week 4, and getting evicted in Week 4 by a vote of 4-3 partly due to the America's Player twist for the week. This twist saw the public vote for Dan Gheesling to evict Jessie over Memphis Garrett. He finished in 10th place.
In Big Brother 11 (US), he was part of the Athletes clique. Following his clique's win in the first Head of Household competition, Jessie entered the game over Michael Ellis, Jessica Hughbanks, and Brian Hart. He was closely aligned with Chima Simone, Natalie Martinez, and Ronnie Talbott. In Week 5, Jeff Schroeder used the Coup d'État to overthrow Chima's nominees and replace them with Jessie and Natalie, and he was then evicted in a 3-2 vote. He finished in 9th place and became the first member of the jury.
While it may be a facade for television, Jessie prides himself on his physique and appears to be extremely narcissistic. This personality has led Jessie to also appear in Big Brother 12 (US), Big Brother 13 (US), and Big Brother 14 (US), being released into the house after Pandora's Box was opened.
