Get to know Brandon Donlon
Brandon Donlon's own answers from the pre-game cast profile CBS published before the season aired.
- Hobbies
- Going out to eat, antiquing, leaving a party without telling anybody.
- Pet peeves
- Adult men who have Snapchat. People who message me "hi" when they need something from me. Lead with your request!
- Inspiration
- Every teacher I've ever had. Each one has imparted something I still carry to this day — and they're so overworked, underpaid, and undervalued. Pay teachers more!
