Chris

**Chris** (notchris1410) is the Runner Up of Big Brother Season 2.

Starting the game middling, Chris would go on to be one of the first Fast Forward winners of the season in Week 2. He would begin to gain traction in his game, gaining trust from some crucial players while also seeming to not fully trust them long term. This would be reciprocated by some, leaving him in a very middling position for much of the game.  In Week 3, Chris would be paired with Kaity for the Team Twist. In Week 4, Chris would stop being UTR when called out by Cherry publicly. Chris would push hard to HOH Denim for a Cherry backdoor this week, only for Denim to keep them both in the game as fuel to target each other as well as tipping off Cherry. After this fight, Chris would be firmly against Cherry & Denim, until Denim threw Kyle under the bus and lied that Kyle was actually the one to tell Cherry. Chris believed this, feeling as though his relationship with Kyle was completely fake now. Chris would very narrowly avoid being a nominee during HOH Ness’ initial selection in Week 5, after Ness decided to make a huge move if his game might be shot anyway. Denim’s lie would also already be exposed to him, due to Cherry attempting to damage control with Kyle and the issue being brought up yet again. This time, he saw no way that Denim could not have been the rat given who was HOH that week and his allegiance to Cherry. Chris would also find himself on the block this week post-veto, being a casualty of most of the house not feeling well aligned with him or Motha Vanity. Chris would desperately try to avoid this by pleading to Ness that Mitch was planning to take him out, with Ness very nearly being swayed. He would be saved from being evicted and battling for safety after Mitch quit the game. In Week 6, Chris would be the deciding vote for whether or not Dee was evicted from the game; despite being on the bottom in the game and in a fake alliance (as the 5th wheel) created by Austin and Kyle, Chris would feel safe with this group. While initially opting to evict Dee, he would change his mind when Kyle/Austin suggested adding Parker and Dee to their alliance, a plan which all 4 of them came up with together without Chris. In the Week 7 detour, he was assigned to the Backyard group. Chris would win his first HOH of the season, nominating “The Lethal Duo” of Denim and Cherry, his target being either of the two. With Denim winning the veto, Chris would unwaveringly set his sights on evicting Cherry instead as a trophy to his resume, a wish he was granted when casting the tie breaking vote to evict. In Week 8, Chris would demonstrate questionable reads when listing Austin & Kyle still as his #1 and #2 when asked for a new trust ranking despite him also having frustration toward them for sort of ignoring him this week, a clear sign to some that he was not a priority to their games. He would be very happy to see that Denim was allegedly going home due to his attempt at taking him out on his HOH, being blindsided along with Kyle/TJ when Anthony was instead sent home. Chirs would be horrified to see Denim win the Week 9 HOH, knowing he was going on the block. Luckily, Kyle would be his opponent with a much larger threat level than his own, though Chris was still spiraling and very displeased. It was this week that Chris began to realize he may have been being used by some of the better players in the game, mapping out who he could beat in the end and accurately deciding that Austin was the biggest threat to all of their games due to how he was running his other alliance and treating other players. In Week 10, Chris would win the veto and choose not to use it, helping to seal Austin’s fate in the game. In Week 12, Chris would not win HOH or veto and be completely at the mercy of Dee. According to both nominees, however, they did not get much conversation from the veto holder, but he did put in a pitch anyway that potentially could have helped him to stay into the F3. Chris would move forward in the game feeling confident that his comp wins and who went home because of them would carry him to a win. Chris would go on to win Part 1 of the final HOH, but come just short of securing the Part 3 win and evicting Denim. He would immediately give Denim a pitch that played on Denim’s overthinking nature: Dee was a bigger threat at the F2 for “surviving 6 evictions,” having the possibility for a “resilience based” win. At the F2, Chris would be received quite neutral to negative, with most of the jury having made up their mind already. He was criticized for not talking to many of the Jurors consistently, a large part of his pitch to how his game was better than Denim’s. Additionally, many jurors felt that he was doing Austin and Kyle’s dirty work rather than truly playing for himself. While his speech and answers did make many on the Jury come to appreciate his subtle gameplay more, it was not enough to secure him a win when he became the Runner Up in a 8 - 1 vote.
