Chip Sweeney

## Season History

**Chip Sweeney**, labeled as **The Schemer**, is a contestant on **The Mad House 9**.

## Personality

**Age:** 60
**Hometown:** Jersey City, New Jersey
**Current City:** Jersey City, New Jersey
**Occupation:** “Entrepreneur”
**Three adjectives that describe you:** Crafty, Innovative, Fun
**Why do you think you got picked for The Mad House?**
Isn’t it obvious? I’m the old man contestant this show desperately craves. But I’m SO much more than that. I’ve got the experience that probably most of the people don’t have. I can handle myself quite well, especially with competition. It’s no fun without some competition!
**What do you think will be the most difficult part of living in The Mad House?**
Difficult? I guess having millions of people watching my every move with those cameras all over the house. Not the biggest fan of security and people watching me work but whatever.
**Who is your favorite previous The Mad House contestant? Why?**
It would have to be that Jamie girl. Talk about lying about yourself and scamming others to get your win. MUCH respect for the girl and would love to do business with. Get in touch with my assistant for details.
**Do you have a strategy for winning the game?**
I’m going to play this game the same way I’ve been surviving the past forty-six years: always being one step ahead of those around me. This world is a nightmare to people if you don’t keep yourself on your toes. If I keep myself ahead of others, I’ll be golden.
**What is one thing that you want the other contestants to know about you and one thing that you want to hide? Why?**
I’d just LOVE for them to know that I have amazing deals on many DELUXE items that could be theirs for a reasonable price. You name it, I can probably get it for you. What I’d want to keep away is where they come from because it’s not their business. That’s mine.
**What are three things you would take into the house with you and why?**
Three things, huh? Well, I’d bring my Rolex watch as it’s my most prized possession in the world, my cigars because they’re beautiful and I plan enjoy a nice smoke during my stay, and my first poker chip as it’s a good luck charm of mine. Well, maybe more like 80% good luck charm if I’m honest.
**What do you think of drama?**
I absolutely LOVE drama! There’s really no fun at all in my line of work if there’s not a little drama involved somehow. At the end of the day, you need someone chasing you down the street for the rush of it all. Doesn’t matter who’s chasing you.
**Would you be in a showmance?**
Probably not. I know people look at me and see an old horse, but I still run like a stallion. There’s no slowing me down. But I’m also in a long-term hustle here so I need all the focus I can get. Not something in my plans, really.
**What are some fun facts about you? Some fun facts about me are…**
-I’ve been married and divorced twice, I have three kids, and five grandchildren. Love my grand kids, okay I guess with my kids, and no comment on the other two.
-I actually got the nickname “Chip” because I’m an excellent poker player and I barely lose. Also, because during my first game when I was 13, I may have stolen a few chips of some other players to win.
-I have a 1967 Black Chevy Impala that I still use to this day. It’s a real beauty. I won it as part of a bet after a World Series game back in the 90s.
**Finish this sentence:** My life’s motto is… you’re not really fun if someone hasn’t attempted to pepper spray you at some point in the day.
