Harry (S3)

**Harry** (harry\_8460) placed 11th in Season 3, 6th in Season 5, & 13th in Big Brother Season 1.

A big personality, Harry initially felt disappointed to be placed onto the very quiet Kama tribe. He was a bit on the outs due to a very different personality than the other five players, but quickly found his footing when he was able to use his social game to blindside Saturn and Domain at the first tribal council, forming a new majority on Kama. (Notably, he had a strong duo with Beans called “Broke Bitches Beware” that planned to blindside powerhouse Domain.) After a tribe swap, Harry’s game became solely focused on rallying numbers to get Bree out due to her challenge prowess. Despite this, he was able to successfully stay safe against Bree’s counter alliance when he decided to take a break from this and throw Lucas out instead. This allowed him to make merge, where he had a very rocky start due to causing public drama with Bree and Dumb and being very narrow sighted with his targets. Due to his confrontational nature and perceived immaturity, he was seen as an easy vote for the first round of the merge. Knowing his name was out there, he desperately sought a secret alliance with Bree to blindside Domain. This failed, and a very bitter Harry was sent to the jury in a 6-3-2 vote.  He is remembered for his small fight with Bree/Dumb seconds after merging and his well-spoken jury statement.

Seeking redemption for his negative perception from Season 3, Harry became a fan favorite in Season 5. A great narrator from the start of the Gata Tribe, Harry was one of the few to take production’s advice to heart, always making votes and moves that benefit his own game specifically. He was a part of the massive majority alliance “Everyone But catlover” started by Ruby, but he was not pleased at all due to feeling it didn’t benefit his game and also left his closest ally Dumb as an outsider. As such, Harry formed his own alliance “The Mouse Trap” with Dumb and Catlover, as he felt they were weak “follower” type players. This alliance would be able to contribute greatly to a Ruby blindside and puppeteer the rest of their tribe’s votes. However, another swap saw this alliance broken apart and while Harry won immunity, BOTH of his closest allies went home in a double elimination. Harry took this in stride at the merge, however, feeling it lit a fire under him to game harder and expand his social game. He had one of the best social games of the season, being well liked by most of the tribe. Most notably, Harry formed a close working trio with Will and Anthony called “The Three Little Icons.” This alliance controlled much of the merge while working together was in the best interest of the three. Despite this, Harry did go behind their backs to orchestrate a blindside of Alec against their wishes and was able to play it off well enough that they would not figure out he flipped for rounds. Will and Harry also were able to secure a shared Hidden Immunity Idol from the auction. Throughout the merge, Harry took increasing notice of how Anthony was running the game. At the Final 8, he was worried that it would be now or never to get him out as Anthony had a firm control socially on the tribe and he may have been running out of numbers to take the shot. He attempted to build a blindside on Anthony, and would have actually been successful if he had known that Azzy had to throw his vote to gain an advantage from the auction. When Izzy exposed this blindside to Anthony minutes for Tribal Council, the game exploded and Anthony wasted one of his idols after telling Izzy to vote for him. Harry was very annoyed with Izzy in particular, as he felt she was doing nothing in the game and just handed Anthony a potential win. He began a relentless public campaign against Anthony, calling Azzy out as a perceived minion that wanted second place and the rest of the game saying “follow the leader” to Anthony. This resounded particularly well with Suari and Bel, who wanted to vote with Harry in the last vote, and they formed an underdog alliance. Harry’s words also seemed to touch the ears of Will, who wavered on pulling the trigger but instead wanted to just get Anthony to flush his advantages but still vote out challenge threat Bel. Extremely frustrated yet again at Will for not making a move, Harry very nearly voted himself out when he changed his vote to Will until minutes before Tribal Council, as the underdogs told him it's better to at least attempt the move. To his pleasant surprise, Azzy botched his advantage plays and the result of the vote was a tie between himself and nemesis Anthony. After spitting straight-up facts in yet another relentless drag campaign of Anthony, Harry came out victorious and sent a bitter Anthony to the jury. The following round, Harry was convinced that Anthony’s declaring he wouldn’t vote for Harry at the end because “he shouldn’t even be there” helped his game, and that he and Will had a tight duo still with their shared idol. However, Will plotted his demise instantly despite Harry’s loyalty, gathering the others against him in an “anyone but me” mentality. He told Harry that they’d play their idol half for Suari due to Azzy using his advantages to single-handedly eliminate him, and their two votes for Bel would send the challenge threat home. However, this was just to make Harry feel safe to not play anything else, and he was blindsided in a unanimous vote after his vote was stolen by Azzy.  He is remembered for his villainous yet also heroic attitude toward the game, being a very fun character in a season of otherwise UTR players.

Starting off the game as one of the most active and vocal players, Harry’s position in the game was surprisingly precarious early on. After seeming to be well liked by everyone in the house upon moving in, Harry’s popularity would go on a steady decline. This culminated in him being a nominee Week 2 and an almost unanimous target for the house. His activity greatly seemed to drop, with him not really putting up much of a fight to stay in the game. Unsurprisingly, Harry would be almost unanimously voted out in a 9 - 1 vote after Tony failed to use his LOS to save him. He is remembered for his dark sided streak during the canceled Battle Back, ready to be good TV and fight with anyone who came his way.
