What is your name?Elias James Lincoln, but you can call me ‘Eli’ or ‘EJ’.
How old are you?I'm 27.
Looking for a showmance?I'm a bisexual male, and I could be in the market for a fun showmance, but I'm a little burned on the idea of love right now.
Where are you from?I’m from around Beaver Dam, Wisconsin. My family owns and operates a dairy farm just outside the city.
Do you have a job?I work in IT at the PepsiCo plant in Beaver Dam.
What has your life been like so far?I had a comfortable upbringing, and my moms and pops are still together and happily in love. I have two younger siblings, a brother and a sister. We all grew up learning how to work hard on the farm — a dairy farm, with both cows and goats, Wisconsin’s all about our cheese, ya know? Anyway, there were lots of early mornings, sweaty days, and late nights growing up on a farm, but it learned us good. Although I’m the oldest, I had no intention of taking over the family business. I always loved computers and excelled at all things involving technology, so I went off to get a four year IT degree at University of Wisconsin-Madison, followed by a masters there. After that, I worked retail for a bit, which is where I developed the incredible fashion sense you see here today, and then I landed my current gig with Pepsi a few years back. I was living with my high school sweetheart then, Georgia, and after a years of saving up for the perfect, unspeakably expensive ring… I proposed to her. That was last year, and I thought I’d won the lottery when she said yes, but… turns out her heart wasn’t as sweet as I thought. A few months ago, I came home from work a bit early and I caught her with some dude buried about eight inches deep in — well, you know how it goes. So now I’m single for the first time since my sophomore year of highschool, and I’m stuck back living with my parents, and I’ve really never felt more like a pathetic teenager in my whole life. I need to move out. Again...
Any quirks, talents, or weird facts about you?Uhm, I ran track all through high school and college, so I should be pretty agile when it comes to physical challenges. On top of athletics, I was also a mathlete. Yup, it’s about as awkward as it sounds. And… weird facts? Well… I was born without wisdom teeth, so that’s pretty weird, evolution in action and whatnot.
Why do you deserve to win?Life’s shit on me so far — oops, can I say that on here? Anyway, I got a bad hand at first, but I'm willing to stay for another round. I wasted years of time and money on a girl that didn’t appreciate me, so it’s time I start living for myself and reclaim the good ol' years that I lost, ya dig?
And if you do win, what will you do with the million dollars?First, I’m paying off all of my school loans, and my car loan, and then I’m going to buy my own place. Anything left over is going straight into my savings, for that fresh start I was just talking about.
