Austin

**Austin** (wickedaustin) placed 6th in Big Brother Season 2.

Making it clear he came to play from night one, Austin very nearly fell into early flameout territory when some clocked his eagerness fast. Luckily, he was able to reel this in and become one of the most well positioned players of the premiere. He would pad this by winning the first Fast Forward of the season in Week 2. At this point, Austin would be an early favorite to win the game due to his almost complete social control of the game, with Kyle taking the brunt of suspicion and blame for their/his moves. However, he was beginning to be lightly clocked by some, namely Chris and Denim. During Week 3, he would be paired with Tara for the Team Twist. He was in much dismay, as even if he would be safe he would almost definitely end up nominated by most of the house. He would be nominated this week by Cherry alongside Tara due to his partner, as Cherry wanted a revenge nomination and to target Tara. He would remain on the block post veto, but feel very unbothered by this after Tara completely blew up any chance she had of leaving the house gracefully, let alone staying in the game. In Week 4, Austin would bitterly try to start a house fight with Kaity multiple times, which would end up alienating some players and putting a target on his back as she was a very nice person. He hated her for not responding to his DMs and not playing the game, choosing to antagonize her because of this on her way out of the house. In Week 5, Austin and Cherry would be nominated for eviction as a pair. This would spark a massive house blowout, as HOH Ness spiraled hard and spread himself too thin this week, promising everyone safety. After he decided to swing big at Austin and Cherry, the two as well as the other nominees would all gang up on Ness publicly. After Kyle saved him with the Veto, Austin would set his sights firmly on Ness for later in the game. In the Week 7 detour, he would be assigned to the House group. He would be nominated for eviction this week as Anthony’s target. Clearly marked for eviction as the bigger threat than both Parker and Dee, Austing would survive the week when Motha Vanity flipped back to his side seemingly just cause… assumed to be his social game! Massive relief would flood Austin, who himself was sure he would go home due to (in his opinion) being obviously a bigger social/strategic threat than his opponents. In Week 8, Austin would finally be ready to make a move on Kyle, whom he had been complaining about all season. After winning the POV, Austin would use it on Motha Vanity to gain favor from his goat ally, repaying him for the last week’s vote. He would pitch this to Kyle as the main reason he was doing it, and that it was actually good for THEM to have Motha be loyal and appeased. Knowing Anthony would be the renom, Austin was excited to both snipe out the only person overtly targeting him in the game as well as ruin Kyle’s HOH and blindside him. He, Dee, and Motha would stick true to their Divas alliance, hoping to ruin Kyle’s resume and jury favor by taking control of his HOH. During Week 9, Austin would be feeling his oats hard after his blindside on Kyle, completely dropping his relationship with him in the game. He would be very pleased when Denim won HOH, hoping he would target Kyle- which he did. Austin would go on to win the veto, and seal his old ally’s fate by not using it. He would get called out by Kyle, however, as the biggest threat left in the game, which would help solidify what every player except for Dee was thinking. During Week 10, everyone but TJ would flop the HOH competition badly, leaving Austin shaking in his boots at being nominated. Knowing he needed to win the veto to stay alive, Austin went hard at the competition. Unfortunately, due to Denim throwing the challenge extremely poorly and still knocking people out despite wanting to lose, Austin would not make the final round despite \*technically\* winning if the comp worked by average times instead of per round. Austin would be furious to see Chris take home the veto with a 13 minute time on the final question, knowing his fate on the block was sealed. However, at production’s request, Austin would not actually give up and instead campaigned hard until the end. He would successfully have Denim’s vote only \*if\* Motha Vanity would vote with him; Motha could not be trusted regardless of his intent to Denim, so this would fall flat. In the end, a 3 - 0 vote would send Austin to the jury, being fairly well natured about his departure. He is remembered for running most of the season ruthlessly and relentlessly, being the instigator of many house fights.
