Jessica Lynn Brokaw (née Hughbanks) was a houseguest on Big Brother 8 (US).
At the beginning of the game, Jessica became a member of the Late Night Crew Alliance that ran the game for the first couple of weeks. She also had a romantic relationship with fellow houseguest Eric Stein. When the Late Night Crew Alliance crumbled, Jessica and Eric teamed up with Dick and Daniele. The alliance of the two pairs dominated the middle portion of the game with Daniele and Jessica being able to win 4 HOHs back-to-back. However, the alliance's dominance ended when the outsider Zach won HOH and nominated Jessica against Jameka. When she remained on the block, the Donatos decided to blindside her during the first half of the Double Eviction, by voting to evict her. She was evicted by a 2-1 vote, placing 6th and becoming the fourth member of the jury.
Jessica was selected by the producers to have a chance to return to the house in Big Brother 11 (US) if her clique won the first Endurance Challenge. However, her clique lost and Jessica did not earn the right to return to the Big Brother house.
Jessica Lynn Hughbanks (born December 22, 1985) is a Wichita State University student, Wichita Wild Indoor Football and Wichita Thunder dance team member from Haysville, Kansas. Jessica is also a Maxim Hometown Hottie and appeared on Maxim's website.
Jessica and Eric continued their romantic relationship outside of the house, but in 2010, it was revealed that the couple had split after nearly three years of dating.[1]
On July 28, 2012, Jessica married Matt Brokaw.
