Nam

## Season History

**Nam** is the winner and fan favorite of Season 1.

Nam initially layed low in the game, he formed bonds with many people but particularly with Jess. Even though he was left out of many alliances and plans early on, his social game was still strong, managing to never get nominated prejury and convincing Aiden turn on his own ally, Brian, and subsequently not be thrown under the bus during the fight that ensued. As the game continued, he formed rivalries with Julio and Nairobi. He eventually started playing aggresively, winning major endgame comps and being the only houseguest in Season 1 to never be a final nominee. After winning final HOH and making it to the final 2, Nam was bashed for playing too aggressively and lying more than necessary, but despite this, he still won the game in a 6-3 vote and became the series' first winner.

**Do you have any BB player alumni that you love personally? Which of the BB alumni do you think best suit the kind of game you generally play as?**
One of my favorite recent BB alumni is Hannah Chaddha from BB23. I loved watching her play, I thought she was sharp and witty but not messy and on a personal level I loved how she always respected everyone from start to finish Since a lot of people struggle to do that in these reality shows. In terms of my gameplay, I'd say in BB orgs I best fit Danielle Reyes. NOW NOW in no way am I saying I'm anywhere near as good as her, she's a legend and I could never compare But I think the way she played her seasons is very similar to how I try to play my seasons. In the beginning I lay low and keep my wits about me, but I tend to try and find one or two people I can rely on and strategize with. Even if I'm not in the supposed "majority" alliance, I maintain good social standing with everyone and when said alliances crumble, I come out on top I've never had to rely on competitions to save my life and I don't plan for that to change.
**In a Big Brother ORG, are you the active houseguest type in targeting people or are you the passive houseguest type in baiting/setting people up for failure?**
Usually I would say I'm the passive houseguest, but lowkey I might just start targeting people off the gate LOL. Idk, I've played the "lay low first half, play hard second half" strategy many times and I feel like trying something new. I have no clue if it would work for me but hey it'd be fun.
**How would you describe the term "emotional manipulation" and to what lengths will you go for to achieve what you want in a game?**
I would describe emotional manipulation (in terms of the game) as using your emotional relationship with someone to benefit your game based on deceit, lies, or deception. I would say I'm willing to emotionally manipulate in the context of using my relationship with someone to benefit my game or convince them of something that is false. On the other hand, I'm not willing to have disingenuous personal conversations with someone knowing that I'm purely doing it to benefit my game. I mean I'd love to sit here and say I'm this cutthroat, manipulative mastermind - but really I'm not LMFAO. I play these for fun and even though it's a game, I do really enjoy meeting new people and cultivating some cool friendships. I never use personal conversations with someone to manipulate or deceive them, because I always try to keep gameplay strictly game.
**What can you bring to the table that will make us want to choose you? Define to us the defining qualities of your character and how it makes you stand out, may it be personal or game-wise.**
I think I can bring a lot to the table! To start off, whenever I play these things I always try to make sure I remain good sportsmanship - which means treating others with respect and giving a crap about the game LMFAO. it's literally the worst when you cast someone and they act disrespectful or give you nothing! In terms of the game, I think I'm a pretty good player and I'd bring a lot of character and gameplay to the table. I've played three big brother orgs - in one of them I got fan favorite, in one of them I got 4th, and in one of them I won! That's pretty good statistics teehee but I think a lot of it comes from me having a lot of knowledge on this game. I know how to play socially, and I know the importance of building trust with people. You can't just say "I have your back", you need to have talks with them and making them feel comfortable with you in the game. Strategically, I'm good at planning out my game ahead of time and figuring out who to target and who to trust. I guess you could say I'm good at reading people?? On a personal level, I always try to make the game entertaining. A lot of times orgs can become very toxic - drama is cute, but it can become too much and sometimes it gets out of hand. I try to avoid causing that, as I'd rather bring positivity into an org rather than negativity. I also always try to bring out my personality in these things - if you like me then you like me, and if you don't like me then you don't like me.
