Matthew

**Matthew** is a houseguest from *Big Brother 3* and *Big Brother All-Stars*.

During *Big Brother 3*, Matthew started with no previous relationships but found himself in Li Dynasty, a majority alliance built to combat the Siberia Six. He also found himself in a core alliance with Nucleo and Shawn. Starting off more under the radar, things did not pick up until Nucleo took his shot at Andrew during week 8. In addition to that, Nucleo unleashed "Shawn's Juice" which exposed Matthew for everything he has said. That actually turned out to be an opportunity for him because it distanced him from the sinking ship that was The New Guys. Matthew was almost dead in the water but caught a lucky break when he pressed a reset button which allowed him to win HOH and evict Jack. Despite all this, he most likely would have lost to even Calvin in the end.

During *Big Brother All-Stars*, Matthew was able to capitalize on the Dani and Tasha feud. He and Nucleo continued their partnership from BB3 to run the game. Matthew successfully pulled off a blindside on Andrew and then laid low for a while. He had a much better social game than in season 3 but was still viewed as a mini Nucleo. After Noah won the second battleback, Matthew threatened to quit. Trying to stop him, Disco revealed to him that he was actually Shawn from season 3 and then quit. This only furthered Matthew's desire to quit and so he did.

## Biography

* Big Brother All-Stars

**1. What is your age and gender?** I am a 23 year old male.
**2. Where do you live? What time zone do you live in?**  I am originally from Boston, but currently live in Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada. My timezone is an interesting one - it's the Atlantic Standard Timezone, which a lot of people don't even realize exists. It's an hour ahead of Eastern Standard Time in the US.
**3. Will you be active during the game? Will you use the voice channels?**  I absolutely intend to be active throughout this game. I am still new to Discord but am definitely open to using voice channels and such if it helps me in the game.
**4. What is your strategy going into Big Brother 3?**  My strategy is to be adaptable. Big Brother is a fluid, dynamic game, and if you go in trying to pigeonhole yourself with one strategy, when that strategy starts to fail you're going to be left scrambling. My plan is to ebb and flow with the house, and adapt my strategy as things progress.
**5. Are you more of an alpha or a beta?** I'm an alpha for sure, but a quiet, confident one. I rule with respect and trust, not with aggression.
**6. Who is your favorite Big Brother contestant? What is your favorite season?**  I refuse to say Dr. Will, Dan, or Derrick are my favorite BB HGs. It's too easy. I really love Mike Boogie (2, 7, 14). He always brought so much love and passion for the game to the table, and so much entertainment too. I also love Enzo Palumbo (12) - I think he played one of the best social games in BB history. BB 7 or 12 would be my favorite season.

**7. Why do you think you have what it takes to win Big Brother 3?** Read these last 6 answers and extrapolate that for yourself. 😉
**1. What is your age, gender, location and occupation?**  I am 24 years old, originally from Massachusetts but currently living in Nova Scotia, and I am an Adult Education Teacher.
**2. How active will you be during All-Stars?** My plan is to be extremely active, on daily, if not hourly. This may surprise viewers that do not know me because I am not a big presence in the viewing lounges, but on my season I was logged on almost always.
**3. Which Survivor or Big Brother Houseguest are you most like?** I am going to say BB7 Mike Boogie. Villainous, game savvy, entertaining, can pull out a comp when necessary but isn’t a “comp beast”, is a polarizing player in terms of how he is viewed, etc.
**4. What is your strategy going into All-Stars?** My strategy going into All-Stars is going to be to find a group I feel truly comfortable with, and demonstrate a level of loyalty that I lacked in BB3. In BB3, I played a strong strategic game by serving as an information hub for several different alliances, but when that was blown up, my season was effectively over. I would like to have strong personal relationships and still be a source of information across the board, but express more loyalty than what is expected of me.
**5. What was your biggest strength in your first season? Biggest weakness?** My biggest strength was probably my social perception. I always had a good feel for who was targeting who, who was voting for who, and so on. I even knew Snorby was double dipping between alliances (like I was) and it was such a good read virtually no one believed me on it. My biggest weaknesses were definitely 1.) My social game. I didn’t always respect others on a personal level, and that came through as arrogance and condescension, which obviously does not sit well with others. As a result of #1., 2.) would be poor jury management. Despite playing a strong game, I would’ve lost to an inactive player if I made F2, because thats how deeply I pissed people off.
**6. What do you plan to do differently compared to your first season?** Respect others more on a personal level, be less critical and condescending (but still not pull any punches), and display stronger loyalty.
**7. Which fellow All-Star are you most excited to see in the House? Which are you least excited to see?** The only two people I will say I am genuinely excited to see in the house with me are Jon and Disco. Jon was the only person on my season where there was any true loyalty. Even if we were going different ways on a vote, or even if we didn’t see eye to eye, we were always honest. Disco is one of the few non-BB3 HGs that have reached out to me and seems like a really genuine, enjoyable guy. Least excited to see? The people who outwardly, vocally don’t like me (Boar, Brayth) and - this may surprise some people - I am also not excited to see Nucleo. Nucleo provides a very complex relationship for me, which I will dedicate a separate DR post to. I want to trust him, but for obvious reasons there is some broken trust there.
**8. Which fellow All-Star do you most and least want to ally with?** I would like to ally with my BB3 folks if the ship is sturdy off the bat for the numbers. We’re a season coming in with 5, so if we can stick together, thats a strong number. Disco, Tasha, and Steph are also on my radar as people I would work with. I would least like to ally with Boar.
**9. Which fellow All-Stars are most threatening? Least threatening?** Coincidentally I would also say I am pretty threatened by Boar. I don’t know that everyone always agrees with what he has to say, but he’s a dog with a loud bark and that tends to get people listening. I also feel threatened by just about everyone from BB1, perhaps most being Dani, because she is so well liked. I am least threatened by most of the people from more recent seasons. Because they haven’t been around as long, they are less likely to have established deep connections with others in the community who are playing.
**10. What makes you an All-Star?** I am not a fool, I know a large part of what makes me an All-Star is my entertainment value. I am, typically, a brash and condescending asshole who people love to hate. Beyond that, though, I do believe I displayed a strong strategic acumen for the game throughout my time on BB3 which warrants another shot with a new group of people.
**11.Do you think you’ll win All-Stars?** I think, in terms of winning All-Stars, I have an uphill battle ahead of me. Lets say in some mythical universe I am sitting in the F2, I think that people’s perception of me is so negative I would start out with very little chance to win. A big part of All-Stars is going to be relationship building for me. All of that said, do I think its impossible? No. I am going to give it my best shot.
