Mason Treadaway

## Season History

**Mason Treadaway** is the winner of *Big Brother Red Lion 5*.

Mason had a plan to pit sides of the house against each other from the first day of the game. He quickly found his ride-or-die in Carter Lindsey, whom he formed the Middlemen with. For the first 6 weeks of the game, Mason's gameplay was low-key. Most of his moves were seed-planting and subtle maneuvers to give him a better position under the guise of being a loyal ally. In reality, Mason was working with almost the entire house by Week 2. His main group during the pre-jury was the Sexy 6, which was an alliance that included Carter, a shield (Daniel Alvarado-Castillo) and an easy pawn (Zach McKee). By Week 4, Mason began planting seeds to enact a huge move that would end in Daniel being backdoored due to his threat level, and sure enough, everything came to fruition. This came at the cost of his near-perfect social game, however, as on the way out, Daniel exposed Carter and Mason as a duo, and urged the house to stop Mason from easily cruising to the win.

Walking a tight rope from here, Mason decided that after 6 weeks of no nominations or competition wins, it was time for him to win comps. He was crowned HOH in Week 7, and immediately ensured Johnny McCarty and his duo Ryan Ehrhart would be split up, targeting his arch-nemesis Johnny, who ended up staying, and swearing revenge on Mason. This lead to Mason's first nomination the following week, but in a do-or-die scenario, he was able to ensure Carter threw the Power of Veto to him, then helped rally the votes to keep Carter, allowing the duo to survive Johnny's HOH in one piece. Having won 3 straight competitions, Mason figured it wasn't time to stop: his competition streak continued during the Triple Eviction where he took Johnny out once and for all, and kept going until the last day of the game, as Mason became an unbeatable force who had the win locked up as long as he could continue his competition streak. By the final days of the season, Mason had won a total of 9 competitions in a row, inbetween other impressive social maneuvers such as betraying the Middlemen and ensuring Paul Hornberger was voted out by the final 4.

Mason made one final blindside at the end, betraying Eddie Leiphart in favor of an easier win against Blaine Brillhart, which came true days later, when Mason was crowned the 5th winner of BBRL, in a unanimous 7-0 Jury vote. Because he also never received eviction votes, Mason is the first ever Perfect Game winner in BBRL!
