Johnny McCarty

## Season History

**Johnny McCarty** is a houseguest on *Big Brother Red Lion 5*.

Johnny came in ready to play, instantly talking around from Day 1 and securing effective relationships with most houseguests from the start. He initially found himself in Ballers Off Da Court, an alliance he co-founded with his final 2 Ryan Ehrhart, and within the next few weeks, had close alignment to most of the opposing Sexy 6, allowing him to sit in the middle and hear the entire influx of information from both sides, which he did alongside his back-pocket Final 2, Daniel Alvarado-Castillo.

Johnny started off strong, winning both the first HOH and Veto competition, yet never was a target for several weeks. He played a heavy hand in every single eviction that followed, using his social skills and charisma to maintain his golden position, all while racking up huge amounts Time Travel Tokens every week. By Week 6, Johnny and Ryan's involvement with Daniel became publicized in the house as rival duo Carter Lindsey and Mason Treadaway gained momentum in their own respective positioning in the house. Due to Daniel's unbelievable competitive and social threat levels, he was backdoored in Week 6, when Carter laid a trap for Johnny to use the Power of Veto on his number #1 ally Ryan, and Daniel went up in his place, being evicted shortly after.

What ensued was two weeks of a heated rivalry between Johnny and his new enemies Mason and Carter. They argued and fought in front of all the other houseguests almost daily from Day 42 to Day 57. Mason won both competitions in Week 7, and lined everything up to have Johnny evicted, but, despite his threat level, Johnny pulled off what has since been considered one of the greatest Big Brother masterpiece plays of all time: he took advantage of Mason and Carter's middle-laying position, and convinced both the duo of Blaine Brillhart and Eddie Leiphart, and the trio of Paul Hornberger, Lee Joines and River VanWicklen, that Mason and Carter were actually loyal to the opposite group, and that said group wasn't convinced on keeping him. This caused both alliances to try to convince the other alliance while pretending to *not* be convinced themselves, without knowing both alliances were already convinced, which lead both groups to believe they were the masterminds of Johnny staying and would have his undying loyalty.

Johnny won HOH during Week 8, and since his rivals were unable to win the Time Travel comp, he finally got his revenge and nominated Mason and Carter. Mason saved himself with the Veto, and it seemed all but guaranteed that Carter would be evicted, but Carter frantically made a Final 5 deal with every voter except Lee, as everyone was fearing a Triple Eviction and were worried about their odds with Johnny being ineligible to win HOH. Carter stayed, the trio backstabbed Johnny, and Johnny and Lee found themselves evicted during the Triple not long after when the duo won HOH and Veto. Johnny placed 6th, receiving no votes to save, and was the 4th member of the Jury.
