Sayaka Tyokasha

**Sayaka Tyokasha** was a houseguest on *Big Brother 2 (US)*.

Sayaka was most remembered for her good instincts and reads. Throughout the pre-jury phase of the game, she found herself on the outs. Her only true ally at the time was her showmance, Asher Crosswood-Pine. The two both touched the block and almost went home a couple of times. Sayaka also developed a rivalry with Axel Yorke as they were both on to the games one another was playing. The game almost entirely reset at Week 5 when Carter Lakes and Courtney Lynn were targeted. Sayaka was included in a majority alliance with Cecelia West, Cory Wicker, Jennifer Vazquez, Xanther Wilson, and her former rival, Axel. This alliance seemed like a golden opportunity for Sayaka but she felt as though she was on the bottom of the totem pole. When the Double Eviction came, Xanther won HOH and wanted to target Asher. Sayaka didn't take kindly to this and her reaction led to her alliance distrusting and flipping on her. The following week, they convinced Boulevard Ai to target her and she found herself evicted unanimously. Her game was not over yet though as she would win the re-entry competition and return to the game. With this new life in the game, she wanted to play more dangerously. She sat next to her rival, Axel on the block where he went home 2-1. She then won the Final 5 HOH and took out Cecelia, another huge player. Unfortunately for Sayaka, she would be evicted in 4th place after Cory decided to take Jennifer to the Final 3 instead of her.

**What do you think will be the most difficult part about living inside the Big Brother house?**
Having to deal with catty people. At the end of the day, it's a game. I'm not here for the fighting, or the pettiness. We're all here to win, and I can't be having drama.
**Do you have a strategy for winning the game?**
My strategy for the beginning of the game is to stay low. I might form an alliance with all of the outcasts, but I won't be the leader. The first few weeks, I would throw all challenges. I can't be having all that blood on my hands. I'll let all the big dogs go after each other. Then, I'll win an HoH, and target a strong player. I'll rely on my social game to make sure I'm not targeted after. I'll also focus STRONGLY on Jury Management, which is something that is overlooked.

I really loved how Ramani played the game last season!
