(Sorry if any of this is too long)

Name: Corey Briggs

Age: 31

Hometown: Hattiesburg, Mississippi

Occupation: Fire Fighter

Personality: Corey is a very rambunctious and sociable "Good 'ol Boy" type of man. He's friendly, polite, chivalrous and fun to have around. He's an easy-going guy and accepting of all people no matter their background, Race, Religion, or Sexuality, as he serves alongside people from all walks of life. His opinion is of someone is only based off of his experience with them and not what he hears from other people. He hates Ignorance, and anybody who uses the term "Hick" to refer to a person from the south. He's a good talker with endless stories, and a charming southern drawl, but he can tend to be a bit forgetful or sometimes flat out stupid. Corey is not the type to take sympathy from others and he will not use his past as a weapon. His past is a part of him and him alone and he only ever brings it up to comfort others in similar situations.

He's a man of God, and a believer in Christ, but he does not attend church, since he believes all the time spent praying could be better used actually making a difference. He almost never swears, using words like "Dang, Gall, Freak(ing) Darn, and shoot." The only examples of his swearing are, "Aw Hell," and "Son of a bitch." He tries especially hard to not swear around women, but when he slips up he always apologizes.

Backstory: Corey was born in Hattiesburg Mississippi as the only child to Mary and Ronald Briggs. At the age of 16 Corey dropped out of High School to help his parents keep their business in tact after his father was diagnosed with Lung Cancer. Sadly his father couldn't beat the illness and passed only a few years later, just a few weeks after Corey would have graduated. Afterwards his mother decided to close down shop and Corey chose not to return to school, instead choosing to work odd jobs and earn what he termed, "Real Education," including becoming a volunteer firefighter for a while. At the age of 24, Corey had earned his GED and joined the force full time. After a long discussion with his mother they decided to sell their house and Corey moved out, allowing his mother to retire to Florida to live with her sister. Corey still stays in touch with his mother, but he spends most of his time either at the firehouse or having fun with his buddies from work. He now lives with his long time girlfriend, and childhood sweetheart, Sam. He hopes to win the game so that he can finally ask for her hand in marriage and give her a life without worry. Though he'll never admit it, Sam often teases that Corey's first crush was her older sister Christie, who would often babysit the pair when they were small. Sam is the only exception to his "No Swearing" rule, but only because they both like to tease each other relentlessly.

Player Type: Corey is definitely a Social player, he's got decent Brawn to back him up, but he's not a strategic player at all. He's a true work horse, once he puts his mind to something he won't stop until he's finished the task, very charismatic and a natural born Leader. Though he doesn't have much in the way of book smarts he's pretty street smart and, though he hates lying, he knows his way around a con and knows exactly when and where to keep his mouth shut. In his own words, "It ain't a lie if I don't say nothing."

Visitor: His girlfriend of  the past 5 years and Childhood Sweetheart, Samantha Ziegler, who he calls Sam or Sammy. They've known each other since they were babies, and grew up playing together.

Confessional: Man, ya'll don't even know how stoked I am to be here! I've been watchin this show since day freaking one man, I love it to death. Now I know there's gonna be a lot of folks out here playing that big strategy game, but that just ain't me, man. Frankly I find that whole strategy part more confusing than a cat in a dog show, and let's be honest, it ain't the smartest person who wins this game. Now I ain't sayin, I got no strategy goin into this, that's just stupid. My strategy is going to be, "Be myself, but be smart, and keep my fat mouth shut when it don't need to be runnin."
