What do you look for in a girl? Any deal breakers? 

CONNOR: A good smile. 

BRAD: I like a girl who is athletic, witty, and laughs at my jokes. I usually make sure she’s shorter than I am before making a move. The only real deal breaker is whether or not she can deal with my Tom Brady obsession.

BRAD: My charm

What is your ideal party theme?

BRAD: Island themed is always a crowd pleaser, and I thrive in a bathing suit environment. 

What’s on your Colby bucket list? 

CONNOR: Get in to an Apartments party

What’s something embarrassing about your brother? 

CONNOR: He demands that his high school friends call him Hot Brad.

Describe your brother in three words.
