Vinny

**Vinny** is a houseguest from *Big Brother 5*, *Big Brother 9*, and *Big Brother 12*.

During *Big Brother 5*, Vinny started quietly but once he was nominated, he turned it up a notch. He won the POV and saved himself. He established himself early on as a competitor. He quickly aligned with Shyla, Pete, and Disco as well as G and Ollie. When G and Ollie tried to flip, he was seen as part of that group and got targeted because of it. He also went after Nick most of the time which upset the other side of the house. He was backdoored due to his ability to win everything.

Vinny started the game with an obvious ally, Ollie. He also had his real life friends Calvin and TJ on the season but when they became targets from the very start, he quickly ditched them. Vinny tried to lay low in terms of competition prowess but despite that he won HOH in week 3 and nominated "inactives", Adam and Dandrew. But Banner got in his head and convinced him to backdoor Pory, which Vinny successfully pulled off. Around this time he made a secret final 2 deal with Amelia, someone who he spilled his guts too. Vinny won the POV to save Ollie from being a nominee in week 6. In week 7, Winter planned to backdoor Vinny but Ryan got cold feet and ultimately spared Vinny. Around this time, Vinny found out that Amelia had been selling him out the whole time. He and Ollie were targets number 1 & 2 at this point and they are both taken out back to back.

Vinny came back on *BB12* with his girlfriend, Hannah. They started off being loyal to the returnee alliance but quickly started branching off with the newbies. Hannah was causing drama and it dragged Vinny down with her. After her eviction, Vinny used the time to make new relationships with others, namely Andrew. They made a final 2 pact. Vinny turned it up towards the end game where he won an HOH and then 3 POVs in a row. He used those in order to secure his own safety. He cut Andrew and Maddie, his biggest threats, when he had to. He even was able to get revenge for Hannah by going after Charlie and Spencer. Vinny made the final 2 but blew it in questioning when the jury perceived him as a coward and a meme. He lost in a historic 4-3 vote.

**5. What was your biggest strength and weakness on your first season?** Everyone said i was a huge comp threat in BB5 which i’m going to try and make sure i don’t win every comp for once. My weakness was that i was very new to how Big Brother worked so i made a lot of bad decisions.
