Austin Matelson was a houseguest on Big Brother 17. For a majority of the game, he aligned with his showmance Liz Nolan and her sister Julia Nolan and was a part of The Sixth Sense and Scamper Squad alliances. Austin was a huge target in the first few weeks because he made a big mistake about telling Jason about the Twin Twist. However, he was later forgiven. He actually made it farther than any other houseguest in terms of nominations, not even touching the block until week 11, where he was finally nominated by HoH Steve Moses.
When he was re-nominated by Vanessa Rousso in Week 12, he was blindsided and evicted by her with a tied vote. He placed 5th and was the 7th member of the jury.
He was extremely bitter at Vanessa for betraying and evicting him. After she evicted him, he told her that she will not win, and after reaching the jury house he said he will make sure that Vanessa does not win and told the other jury members that her game was flawed. On finale night, he was still bitter at Vanessa and hoped she would get evicted. Ultimately, he got his wish as Vanessa became the 9th and final member of the jury.
He received criticism for being bitter about his eviction and for proceeding ahead with a showmance with Liz, without officially ending his relationship with his on-again, off-again girlfriend prior to entering the house.

Austin grew up with four younger siblings, all girls. His parents were hippies who let him stop going to school before eighth grade! Although he was never pushed to study, he was always self-disciplined and got up at 6 AM to read and exercise. It paid off, as he later received a Masters degree in Medieval History and fulfilled his childhood dream of becoming a pro wrestler. He is known as the wrestler Judas. His looks are deceiving, as he is a flower child who does a yoga stance as opposed to beating down his opponent.[1]
