Ramon Sanchez

## Season History

**Ramon Miguel Sanchez** was a houseguest of *Big Brother 1*.

Ramon became well-known for his use of his moniker "the voting manipulator" and was a member of the devoted Four Horsemen alliance. During the early stages of the game, Ramon started out relatively strong during his stay, notably formed strong relationships throughout the house, and being recruited as the "official" member of the opposing A Team alliance. He played the middle from the start, aligning with and evicting the targets of both alliances until the formation of the Sovereign Seven at the start of Week 4.

He was credited with creating the Misted Backdoor strategy alongside Jacob Okumura which resulted in him surviving eviction and Sharon ended up blindsided on her ally Lillian Lewis' HOH reign. During Week 5, Ramon won his first Head of Household competition and his main alliance targeted Jacob for eviction. Ramon's Head of Household reign proved to be in a dilemma, as Jacob (alongside Lillian) won the Battle of the Block competition and persuaded him into backdooring his closest ally Sonny McCoy. However, his voting manipulation ability, alongside Sonny's savvy social gameplay, miraculously saved the latter from eviction and sacrificed his other ally Cassie Starnes.

Despite The A Team starting to disintegrate, losing his ally Sonny caused the downfall for his game, as Jacob targeted him for eviction the following two weeks due to being caught for aligning himself with his nemesis. During Week 7, Jacob convinced Head of Household Anna Simmons to primarily target Ramon, sealing Ramon's fate. At the Live Eviction, he attempted to flip the votes by exposing Jacob's dangerous manipulation ability on the showmances, but unfortunately, he was voted out in a unanimous 4-0 vote, placing 8th and becoming the second member of the jury. At the finale of the season, Ramon was awarded $25,000 as the winner of America's Favorite Houseguest.

Despite his placement, Ramon is often regarded as one of the greatest strategic players in the Sims Big Brother history, due to his excellent social game, strategic maneuvering and voting persuasion skills. He is also credited for his direct involvement in orchestrating the evictions of the first four houseguests.
