Chris S.

**Chris S.** is a houseguest from *Big Brother 1*, *Big Brother All-Stars*, and *Big Brother 15*.

During *BB1*, Chris got a good start by immediately forming bonds with the other houseguests. During the prejury phase of the game, Chris was able to lay low and let Derek make the flashy moves while Chris secretly planned Derek's eviction. Chris teamed up with Dani and the two of them controlled the entire jury phase until Brayth's eventual re-entry. Brayth continuously went after Chris but he managed to keep himself safe by either winning vetos or using his social connections to keep himself safe. At the final 4 he decided to evict Branch and that caused the jury to hate him but in the end he was unable to win the final HOH and Brayth won and evicted Chris as the final juror.

Unbeknownst to Chris S, his *Big Brother All-Stars* demise was being set up from the pregame by his close ally, Dani. In week 1 he was blindsided by the HOH, Shyla, for being a big threat and was a victim to being the first boot.

Chris S. made a triumphant return in *Big Brother 15*. Right out of the gate he was labaled a pregamer along with his friends, Brayth, Dani, Franco, and Shyla, but Chris S. was able to distance himself from that group and survive their downfall. He used his social skills to grow very close to each of his fellow houseguests and by jury, Chris S. felt bad making just about every decision he had to. He continued to cut deals when he had to though, most notably with Matt III. Chris S. went back on their deal the very next week though, when he won HOH. Chris S. went on to escape some poor situations by mere social pleas and eventually he found himself in the final 2. Brought by Spencer, the jury had a lot of respect for Chris S. and his game. Ultimately, by a 5-4 vote, Spencer was voted to be the winner over Chris S.

## Biography

* Big Brother 15

**1. What is your age, gender, location and occupation?** 22, Male, NYC, Recruiter.
**2. How active will you be during All-Stars?** Considering this will be my last org, very active.
**3. Which Survivor or Big Brother Houseguest are you most like?** Parvati, no doubt. She's a triple threat who's flirtatious, strategic, and performs well in most challenges. Though Janelle is my favorite BB player because I respect how real she is and how she is able to integrate into a majority and be the last member of her alliance all while being able to virtually comp out.
**4. What is your strategy going into All-Stars?** This is the toughest question for me. I've played every type of game in orgs so I don't have a set mindset. I'll be honest I'm worried about being targeted for my reputation and previous relationships. On my previous two All-Star appearances I went home early for being a big threat in one and managed to overcome a pre-game target that almost made me first boot on my tribe and managed to scrap my way to second place. I'd say my mindset this time around is be social and talk to everyone. Don't be afraid to reach out to people but don't get caught up being seen as a big threat. I
**5. What was your biggest strength in your first season? Biggest weakness?** Being able to slip under the radar and let bigger targets take the lead until jury where I was able to then take control of the game well into the later stages of the season. My biggest weakness was honestly not winning that final HoH, if I did that I would have won 8-1. Possibly also being less social early on but that worked out to my benefit because I socialized with the biggest targets in the house and managed to be completely protected until a "battleback" *shutters*.
**6. What do you plan to do differently compared to your first season?** I'm not sure yet, I don't have as much experience playing in Big Brother orgs as I do in Survivor orgs (though I played BB first). I don't wanna be actively seen as someone who is "running the game" but I also think my game was really only exposed because of a battleback so I'm not entirely sure. I'll have to figure that one out as the season starts. But I definitely want to enter this season on good terms with as many people are possible.
**7. Which fellow All-Star are you most excited to see in the House? Which are you least excited to see?** I'm most excited to see... Jon actually. We had a good relationship in Mount Olympus but I'm also worried because he is a huge threat and he's very likable, but he's trustworthy if you are honest with him. Least like to see I might regret saying this but either Tasha because I just don't think I could ever trust her considering how she has played in her previous season or Brayth just because as I've said everytime since we finished BB1 we always end up targeting each other or being sketched out by one another every single time we play together.
**8. Which fellow All-Star do you most and least want to ally with?** Lol, I'm predictable but Steph actually. She probably is concerned with me picking Dani over her but she shouldn't be, I'm not making this season a soap opera (but who am I kidding it'll probably happen again), Dani vs Steph part 4? Least likely to ally with, either Matthew or Tasha because they both play that rat kind of game that is so hard to trust.
**9. Which fellow All-Stars are most threatening? Least threatening?** Most threatening, me. Lol that's so conceited, so I'll give you a different answer. Disco because he's so liked by everyone and I feel like he hides his challenge ability and I might fall into the trap of wanting to work with him as well. Least threatening, probably Rivers. Honestly I would say Abi but Abi could be underestimated and end up in final 2 like she always is. Rivers on the other hand can be taken out early if need be or become a pawn which could make her dangerous but only for that reason.
**10. What makes you an All-Star?** Okay, so the real answer? Because I'm the best to never win. Yes, that's a debatable topic but I truly think I played a stellar game. Though had I not flipped the vote and saved myself at final 6 of BB1 I probably wouldn't be on All-Stars but I took my strategy that I thought of for real Big Brother and applied it to BB1 and it managed to get me to final 3 and one HoH from winning the game. I was the last person nominated on my season, tied for most comp wins, and integrated myself into a position where I was well protected and almost won until I unfortunately came up short by two jury statements.
**11.Do you think you’ll win All-Stars?** I really don't know, I've come up short a few times but this means a lot to me. I want to win a Big Brother org but more specifically this org. This series means a lot to me and I've been dedicated and following it ever since BB1 ended. I think I have a solid chance to win but I have to keep my ego in check and manage these personalities. If I can do that then I just need to learn to win the final HoH. I DO NOT WANT TO BE JANELLE AGAIN. FUCK 3RD PLACE.

**12. Was Helen pushed?** Sorry, I don't think she was. I'm not a fan of BB 15 tbh.
**1. What is your age, gender, location, occupation, and original season(s)/placement(s)?** Mid 20s, Male, New York, Recruiter, JRZ 1, 3rd, JRZ6 well it's complicated.
**2. What is your strategy coming into BB15?** When I was contacted about this season the first thing I thought was, be social, be relatable, and find an alliance that is in power as soon as possible.

**3. What was your biggest strength in your first season(s)? Biggest weakness?** I think my biggest strengths were just my ability to appear trustworthy, flexible and adaptable. Each of my allies felt like I was most loyal to them or that they could count on me. People who didn't trust me at least felt like they could worry about me later or felt like I could benefit their game later. JRZ1 was three years ago but there's so much I could say to the success of my first season that's gone overlooked. My biggest weakness was part 3 of final HoH. Outside of that it'd be perception and intent. I think that this is more true to other orgs I've played rather than JRZ, but it is sometimes the jury management aspect of the game. I'd say I've improved on this aspect but each game is difficult to play and the hardest part of it is both putting yourself in a position to win but also do so while putting people on jury at the right time. Hoping people respect your game enough to vote you over most others.
**4. What do you plan to do differently compared to your first season(s)?** It's hard to plan before you can actually play. I think the best part of my first experience is that it was my first org. I had no idea how any of this worked, or how well I'd do. I tried a strategy that developed as I played more. I integrated myself with the power players, people who would control much of the pre-jury, and around the start of jury phase was when I felt like I could start to direct more control of the game. Going from being social while in the background, to outwardly strategic as well. I think for JRZ 6 that was and still is a sour subject for a lot of people. A lot happened with someone who quite literally cheated to affect the course of that entire game from start to near finish so it's hard to really look at that season without considering how that person negatively impacted so much of it.

**5. Who are you most excited to get to play with? Who are you most nervous to play with?** Really short answer, everyone and also everyone. There's a lot of JRZ All-Stars people coming back and that's in a lot of ways nice that we all get an opportunity to play the game again hopefully without controversy but it's also nerve-wracking because of how many of us are back but also just because, it's not easy to say yes to this season considering how all of us were affected by that season negatively.
**6. As JRZ approaches it's 15th and final season, and a tenure of over 3 years "running" on Discord, what does it mean to you to be a part of the legacy?** I'll be honest, I don't know anymore. I really have not a single idea. After Season 1 happened, I felt robbed. I was one Final HoH question from winning. I came back to All-Stars expecting to do well and trying to win. A lot of things happened that were outside of my control. It is a season marred by controversy. I actually have to say that I was probably one of, if not the biggest fan of this series before Season Six. This was my first org series, it was where at the time that magical feeling of playing "Big Brother", made me feel like I could be part of a game I love and adore so much. Following other seasons, joking around in spec lounge. Just feeling welcomed.
Following Season 6, and as more seasons happened there was just a noticeable change. Most of that same love and passion was gone. So many controversies from other seasons started to take its toll and honestly it hurt to see. Eventually we all moved on and it sucked because it never felt like the hurt that myself and others felt really was resolved. It feels like this community went from a fun, silly place to talk about and play Big Brother, to a place that was hostile, just not as silly or fun to be in.
