Profile
Name: Willow Chen Age: 43 Occupation: Anchorwoman Hometown: Vineland, NJ Current Residence: Newburgh, NY Marital Status: Married Three adjectives that describe you: Vocal, opinionated, and debatable. Favorite Activities: Jogging, watching television, swimming, and spending time with my family. Most difficult part about living inside the Big Brother house: That I would have to leave my husband and my everyday life in order to go on this adventure. Also, I fear that there will be a lot of youngsters in the house. I am sociable, but I don't want to live with a bunch of people below my age! Strategy for winning “Big Brother”: People might see me as the motherly type, but I am very opinionated and assertive. I'll probably align with people who have more of an arrogant personality since I feel like I can blend and connect with those people. This way I'll get a perspective from some of the 'villains' if there are any in this game. Who is your hero and why?: My husband was a Vietnamese immigrant when his family moved to the U.S. after the Vietnam War. He lived a rough childhood since then; his parents sent him to an orphanage and was succumbed with racism. He would always tell stories about his life as an immigrant, and he inspired me that I can endure the most difficult situations in life. What are you afraid of?: The only thing I'm afraid of is spiders; they look so big and creepy! What is the accomplishment you are most proud of?: I've been the anchorwoman for Newburgh News for fifteen straight years! I've always dreamed of being in the news ever since I was a little girl. Now, I present all the news that has been happening throughout both my city and New York as well! What would you take into the house and why?: My husband, so we can spend the entire summer together with fifteen other strangers. I like to think he's more socially adaptable than me, so he would be the perfect person to take into the house! What would you do if “Big Brother” made you famous?: I don't want to become one of those celebrities who embrace their fame to the fullest extent. I would love to be famous for being on the show, even if I don't win. If I do win, I'll give the money to my two wonderful children, Alli and Matt. Both of them are in college, and I want to make sure they have a bright and successful future ahead of them!
