Mick Johnson

**Mick Johnson** is the runner-up of *Big Brother 5 (US)*.

Mick was an overlooked player in *Big Brother 5*. Early on, he fell into a showmance with Stacey Lennox. They would go on to become a huge force in the game and a dynamic duo. With both of them winning a combined total of 10 competitions, they were seemingly unstoppable. Despite touching the block during the first week, Mick found himself in a good spot within the house. The majority of the cast wanted to work with him and had no plans on targeting him, while the other half saw him as a non-threat. He managed to not get nominated against until Week 9 when Brittani Lyles nominated him and Stacey together. They were still able to survive this and it wouldn't be until the Double Eviction where he'd lose Stacey after Annetta Landrum turned her back on them. Mick was seemingly in a lot of trouble the next week when he found himself on the block next to Zara Fae but he was able to win the veto, as well as the following one, earning him a spot in the Final 3. Unfortunately for him, the jury saw him as a weak player and Annetta brought him to the Final 2 where she won 8-1.

**What do you think will be the most difficult part about living inside the Big Brother house?**
Probably having to cope with an environment where you just don’t know what to expect or when to expect it. The competition does bring out an “eat or be eaten” vibe after all.
**Do you have a strategy for winning the game?**
I do actually. For me, it’s going to be about playing my cards right and knowing what moves to make at the ideal times. Going in the first few weeks, I gotta make a good enough impression to make myself safe in the long run and build up mutual relationships with those I can trust the most. Also, staying low would be another smart strategy to make myself seem safe long enough. That being said, I won’t hesitate to stand up for what I think is right or take out potential social and/or physical threats.
**Which past Big Brother cast member did you like most?**
There are actually a few BB players that stood out to me. Jennifer from season 2 for one due to her exceptional social skills doing wonders for her in the long run. There’s also Brooklyn and Moon from season 4. The former for the same aforementioned reason as Jennifer and the latter due to his intelligent moves and overall strategy resulting in him winning.
**My life motto is...** Always give out 115% in everything, no matter how small or big of significance it is.
**What would you take into the house and why?**
- My old football uniform, for morale
- A photo of my grandson Jared, so I can feel him cheering me on
- My smartphone with old school britpop music, for relaxation
- Protein bars for energy
