Ryan (BB1)

**Ryan** (Jumpmanryan#8130) placed 3rd in Big Brother Season 1.

An early power player, Ryan came into the game to play hard and excited to backstab his allies he made along the way. Despite being very social and in many alliances, several in the house clocked him as early as night 1 as someone who they wanted out sooner rather than later. Despite this, Ryan felt fairly secure with most of his allies to the point that in Week 3, he decided to attempt a very unexpected and aggressive move. Thinking of the inactive Tony as a “shield,” Ryan would make a push for a 5 - 4 Jaime blindside despite Tony basically offering to be evicted to his allies, including Ryan himself. This would be immediately run back to the HOH James by Marek, further worsening Ryan’s already precarious position in the house. To make matters worse, his plan that was fluctuating from happening to not got completely destroyed when Tony used the LOS. Despite having a huge target on his back from this, Ryan would continue through the game in a relatively strong position due to other players’ messiness or twists benefitting him. In Week 6, Ryan’s manipulation skills would come out in full force. Despite his earlier hiccup that had his name in the mouths of many, Ryan’s social outreach obviously had either been repaired or never hurt enough to matter when he controlled the votes for the week. Wanting to keep Robbie to go after Marek rather than Josh, who he suspected had a secret alliance with him and James, Ryan went to work (with Leon) at gathering at least 3 votes to evict him. He would campaign to Hao as well for a secret Final 2, which Hao accepted and the two seemed to be on closer working terms. Despite losing Brayden to the other side when Brayden became disillusioned with his manipulation and saw him for the threat that he was, Ryan was able to manipulate Jesse last minute into voting with him and Leon, securing that his target went home and cushioning him in a new potential majority alliance. In Week 7, Ryan would worry for his game more than ever when Marek won a clutch HOH. Fortunately, Robbie was pulled for HG choice and selected Ryan to play in the veto. His alliance would make it insanely clear they were the tightest unit of 3 in the game when performing the most obvious gang up & throw in the current Aurora ORGs history. Because of this, they were able to get Ryan the veto which he used to save Robbie from the block and protect himself, followed by Leon’s use of the LOS. This would see the alliance tighter than ever and safe for the week, though due to the Touchy Subjects challenge Ryan began to plant seeds of a Leon eviction before the F3 like the other two imagined. Ryan would throw the Week 8 HOH & Veto, as he wanted the option of power moving into the coming weeks to potentially make a move on his allies. In Week 9, Ryan would face the block for the first time as James’ primary target. Fortunately, Ryan would prepare heavily for the Veto and completely annihilate every other player, securing his safety for the week. During the eviction, Ryan would opt to burn Brayden on the vote yet again despite having a potential working relationship with him brewing as he saw Robbie as a weaker player than Leon, more likely to take him to the finale. In Week 10, Ryan would be blindsided when nominated by Hao, thinking that he had been manipulating Hao for weeks with a F2 deal. Knowing he was the target, Ryan would once again clutch the Power of Veto competition to save himself. While initially leaning toward evicting James, Ryan would ultimately land on evicting Brayden after he “failed to make a F3 deal” with him as well as considering him better at competitions than James. This would leave Brayden very bitter, continuing a trend Ryan seemed to have of over promising safety to the evictees each week. Winning the Week 11 HOH, Ryan would from this point on feel like the only “real” and active player left in the game. He would set his sights on James as a jury threat, winning the veto and using his ally Robbie to make the move for them. His F2 plans would be to take Robbie to the end over Hao, as he saw Robbie easier to beat due to jurors seeming bitter at him upon their exit as well as having less power via competitions. At the F3, Ryan would win Part 1 of the Final HOH. However, Part 3 would be one of the biggest disasters in Aurora ORGs history when Ryan would give a shockingly low answer for the tiebreaker, even lower than Hao’s own shockingly off answer. Unfortunately, this would see Hao become the Final HOH. Seeing the writing on the wall, Ryan still attempted to flip Hao but to no avail. He would become the final juror of the season, being fairly well natured about his elimination and guaranteed by the Jury that it was his season to lose at that point. He is remembered for often stating he doesn’t care about winning and only wants to lie and backstab, despite playing a fairly “safer” Jury portion game with little to no flipping or betrayals that would actually be shocking.
