## Profile

**Do you have any past org experience? If so, what orgs have you played in and what have you learned from them?** "I have lots of experience, playing 12 total SurvivORGs before, and 4 BBORG's! My 2 most recent ORGs were Prisonorg and $urvivor.

In Prisonorg, I started out strong building trust with everyone I could. I was a contender the entire time premerge from my strong relationships, however that soon changed. At merge everything split and I ended up being the middle man. It was the right choice at times, however it ended up costing me a lot of votes in the finale when jury discussed and learned my mistrust. To be fair my F3 contenders were strong and jury was very decided- but my strategy had failed.

In $urvivor I started out having many friends of mine and being in a good spot, I could've won. However from the start I was flippy and I lost truth with the entire cast quickly. Along side that, I had a reputation of being a flipper from before the org. My strategy once again failed me placing 10th, but more so I realized I needed to change my game in the future."

**Do you have a strategy going in to this org? If so, does the fact that this org switches from survivor to big brother formats every round change your strategy?** "Based on my past successful failures, I want to play a LOYAL GAME LMAO. Can I do it? I don't know, but its something I need to do. I need to play a loyal game to prove to people that I am a loyal person and that though I have a reputation, I'm not always gonna be the same. I'm at a point where my reputation will come to bite me if I play with someone who has spectated me before. I am a strong player and do not want one org to be the death of another. I also need to be loyal to prove to myself that I can play more than one style of game. I am a good player and want to prove it to myself.

Big Brother does add another aspect. The big difference between the two shows is that Big Brother you directly target someone by nominating, voting, and all the ceremonies. Your cards are constantly being shown, unlike Survivor where you can hide behind people and its always more of a mystery. This is why I want to be the season I prove my loyalty, because its what I need to do to win. I want to be friends with everyone, but have an alliance I am truthful to. Big Brother so my game requires friends with everyone. Survivor though I need to show my loyalties and I plan on sticking to the same side if it is best for me."

**How do you usually write your confessionals? For example, do you comment on things in the moment or do you pick a time to write out a long description of the day?** "Unlike this application, my confessionals are usually small little rants. I try to always say all of my thoughts though which comes in one of two forms. I try to give my thoughts as they're happening so I will DM people meanwhile I give a confessional. Some days though, I am in a rush and don't have time to do live updates- and I want to keep all my confessionals organized by event. This usually leads me to a big tiny essay at the end of the day to sum up the conversations and strategy of the day. My average edgic is usually OTT or CP, and usually N. N cause flipping though, so hopefully that changes."

**Pick 3 words that you would use to describe you. Also explain why you chose the words you did.** "Real, Honest, Misunderstood. Firstly, I am Real because I always be myself. I am not gonna be a player who puts on my 'gameface' and make an act. I was born with a gameface, I don't need a second one. I am also very Honest because despite my flipper past, every time I am honest about what, I say. I don't make up lies. When I want your trust I tell you facts. Finally I am Misunderstood. As said in Honesty I am always going to be honest when I need to be. The thing is, with my flipping game people never truly believe me and it leaves me being misunderstood. I rely on the game falling perfectly for a person to completely trust me. In my most recent ORG, someone would spin the truth to make me sound horrible- it was the first time someone out smarted what I am best at. This is the one word I want to change though, I want to be Understood and Trusted."
