The brother of Season 16 runner-up Cody Calafiore has quickly proven himself to be a physical, social and strategic threat. The 27-year-old Howell, NJ, native is also a piece of eye candy for all of the ladies in the house.

However, Cody warned Paulie not to get wrapped up in a showmance, so we'll see if he can handle the pressure.

While Paulie's relation to Cody might hurt him in the competition, he has bonded with Tiffany Rousso over the situation, as she is the sibling of Season 17 houseguest Vanessa Rousso.

Paulie is on the chopping block heading into Big Brother 18's second eviction, so in case he gets the boot and you're unable to learn more about him, below are 9 facts Reality TV World has compiled:

- Paulie is the co-owner of Sweat Elite Fitness, a personal training gym.

- The houseguest works as a deejay and model on the side.

- He graduated from Rutgers University, where he played on the soccer team.

- Paulie created his own training regimen called Calafiore 360 Fitness.

- Paulie has a large three-line script tattoo on the right side of his body that pays tribute to his Italian heritage and family. One line in Italian reads, "Fratelli di Calafiore," which means "the Calafiore brothers."

- Three words he'd pick to describe himself are driven, passionate and quick-witted.

- The houseguest's favorite activities include martial arts, exercise and instruments, especially the guitar.

- Paulie's life motto? "A comfort zone is a wonderful place, but nothing ever grows there."

- He found it absolutely necessary to pack a toothbrush, toothpaste and mouthwash when moving into the Big Brother house in order to guarantee fresh breath.
