## Profile

### Season 2

**Why would you be a good addition to the cast?** "I'd make the season more entertaining for the specs. Not only that, I will truly change the dynamic of the house, and maybe there could be a new saboteur twist???? Oh my that'd be insane, which is why I would be an awesome addition to the cast."

**What is your strategy?** "I'd play a CRAZY game. I'm talking throwing comps, backstabbing people, switching alliances, flipping votes, lying, and so much more. I want to make a truly interesting season, and if this labels me as a villain then even better."

**Are you a good confessionalist? Have any examples or samples of what we might expect?** "I'd consider myself a decent confessionalist(trying to work on the humble part hehe), but here is an example, 'Lucky08/08/2018

oh man what to do. I have to start cutting people. If harrison leaves this week, then that means that I am the single biggest target even though I'm allied with everyone in this house except Justin, so maybe let Harrison move on.. dunno.'"

### Season 5

**Do you have any past org experience? If so, what orgs have you played in and what have you learned from them?** "So I fee each org is a learning experience, and that characterized me. My most recent org was Ultimate Survivor, where I placed 6th out of twentysome. After playing a dirty swampy game, I came to a realization I had earned the hatred of the jury, which would’ve made my FTC extremely difficult. Not only that, but it also made me a huge threat, and put me in a precarious position. I now understand making moves in that fashion is basically game losing. I’ve also played in this series before which I’ll speak about later. My big brother orgs are usually somewhat successful with overall high placements and I usually lost at final four/three because of a minor flaw in my gameplay. One was being too trusting, and the other was just bad positioning as I set myself in a final four scenario where the last 3 were aligned to each other."

**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?** "Oh this is the most interesting aspect. The fact that tribes essentially “merge” into the big brother house is insane. It allows for cross-tribe connections but at the same time provides a boundary. My strategy is to solidify my connections with whoever is in my tribe, and hit off an alliance. Moreso, it’s incredibly important for me to recognize the outcast of the other tribe, and bring them in- to create a majority. However, I won’t burn my bridges because keeping connections alive keeps your game alive. I will basically never win hoh, but I’ll win vetos and Individual immunities."

**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?** "Usually a combination of both. If I’m online events and interactions will happen, which allows me to write about what’s going on. Sometimes I go on long tangents about the cast, especially on weeekends when I have plenty of time to spare. I’m fairly educated and I display emotion, although my gameplay is more calculated. I won’t be fake and give you a bullshit personality, but I’ll hive you me, which should suffice."

**(Alumni Only) How will your gameplay change this season?** "Oh let me tell you all about it. SO originally I had a completely wrong read on the fact that it switched from survivor to big brother, because of my lack of knowledge with survivor in general. After tribes “merged” into the big brother line, I immediately played too hard, and tried switching over to the other side which immediately set me up as an easy target. How foolish of me. Now, I know tribe lines are important and aren’t easy to break at all. Definitely integrate myself in the core of my tribe, and slowly start talking to the other side, to the point where I would be one of the last they would target. I’m also a backstabbing person by nature, but I’ve realized it’s extremely important to at least remain somewhat loyal, if it benefits your game. I’ll stay social, and strategical, but perhaps tone it down until I know It’ll have weak to no repercussions."

**Pick 3 words that you would use to describe you. Also explain why you chose the words you did.** "Adaptive, intelligent, and Lucky. The word adapt really applies to me in every sense of the word. Regardless of the situation, I’m pretty quick on my feet and I can react accordingly. Not only that but every person is completely different (obviously) but I can change my personality to better click with who I’m talking with. Superficial bonds are boring for many, so being able to recognize who you’re talking with and what they are looking for is extremely key, which makes my adaptive skill important. I’d say I’m fairly intelligent, which allows me to be more strategic and calculated which is what I love to do. Detach myself emotionally because I realize this is really just a game. It describes my gameplay and also my character because sometimes my diction might be above average, or even surprising (also if there is a turn-based strategy game, I will undoubtedly win it <if I want to>). Lastly I’d say I’m pretty lucky but in a way that not many are. Everyone has strokes of good luck and bad luck, and it’s really about capitalizing on those lucky moments, and not only minimizing the losses on the bad luck, but also turning that fatal fortune into a beneficial event."
