Week 0 - Meet The Cast

[Kat]

I won't be revealing who is who until the game starts I guess base your votes on what people answered in their application! This is the pre-game poll

[Kat]

Adam Jasinski
BBUS9

What strategy will you have coming into the game?

My strategy is to adapt to any situation to ensure I get to the end. If I have to lie and cheat one week I will. If I need to kiss ass the next I will. If I have to win veto five weeks in a row you bet your ass I will.

Do you consider yourself loyal?

In life? Of course.
In ORGs? Promises are just words that you should never put faith in. I'll gladly stab my closest ally in the back if it means getting myself further.

Do you prefer playing for yourself to get to the end or for you and your alliance?Would you risk your position in the game to get your alliance further?

Myself of course. I'll get an alliance to jury for the votes but once we get there it's every man for himself.

When something sketchy happens, do you: call them out publicly, confront them privately, ask around or ignore it completely?

Ask around if it doesn't pertain to me. Call them out if it does. Oh and I guess I'd call them out if it's about my closest ally.

What is your take on pre-alliances? Will you auto align with houseguests you are friends with / target houseguests you dislike or will you have a clean slate?

What do you mean by pre-alliances? If you mean pre-game then I guess but people should be prepared for change once the game actually starts. If you mean people breaking aliases to align with people they know then I hate that because that's so dumb. BB is about 16 strangers being thrown into a house to lie, betray and cheat their way to 500K not to meet up with friends for a summer vacation.

Anything you'd like to add to help cast you?

I've only played Survivor ORGs but I love Big Brother so much more. Survivor, I feel, is much more strategic whereas Big Brother is much more social. I can get people to like me easily, to the point where they'd want to sit next to me at the finals even if the jury consists of my closest friends.
Just look at my Survivor Aliases, all premerge boots. And for this game it's all winners. Because I hate failing to live up to the "expectation" of my alias and know I probably won't win a survivor ORG. But Big Brother? I know I can win.

Mike "Boogie" Malin

BBUS2/7/14

What strategy will you have coming into the game? 

I am a very social player. My goal is to get people to like me, I am not sure how well I will do at the competitions but I think that the main way to win Big Brother is to have a strong social game. Some of my fav players such as Derrick Levasseur, Mike Boogie and Dr. Will had some of the best gameplay ever. I am a huge fan of all of their play styles and I would do my best to play similar to them. I want to come off as a non-threatening and loyal person but will do what it takes to get to the end.

Do you consider yourself loyal? 

I consider myself very loyal. I think that being loyal in Big Brother is how you gain respect and if you are loyal (as long as you aren't loyal to the wrong people) I think it is a good way to gain respect from a jury if you are to make it to the end. I am not a fan of stupid players and I am not somebody who is going to make a stupid move just to prove my loyalty. I will be loyal to the people that I trust as long as it doesn't affect my game majorly. I will take the game one step at a time.

Do you prefer playing for yourself to get to the end or for you and your alliance? Would you risk your position in the game to get your alliance further? 

Playing by yourself is very tough. It's very hard to make it to the end without some sort of an alliance, especially because you would have to win so many competitions. I would do what is strategically best for me but I would also try to take into consideration what is best for my alliance. I am not going to screw over my alliance to get one person out because that wouldn't be a smart game move. I would want to make sure that my alliance is happy with a move that is being made but I would only do moves that are also beneficial to me. I am willing to fight for my alliance but I am not willing to go down for somebody else.

When something sketchy happens, do you: call them out publicly, confront them privately, ask around or ignore it completely? 

I am not a confrontational person. I think it is much more wise to get the facts and details from other people to see how things really went down. I think the smartest move would be to go to the person privately and talk to them about what just happened. Blowing up at them in public and causing fights is just plain stupid to be honest.

What is your take on pre-alliances? Will you auto align with houseguests you are friends with / target houseguests you dislike or will you have a clean slate? 

I do not have any friends in the ORG community so that would not be a problem with me. However, applying with friends or having pre-alliances just defeats the purpose of the game and it ruins the fun of it. I am here to have a Big Brother experience and I would like it to be as legitimate as possible.

Anything you'd like to add to help cast you? 

I know I do not have much experience in ORGs but I can tell you that I will be a very dedicated player who will give the season my all. If you were to check out the series that I host on Tengaged, it is very well respected and has recognition over there. Please check it out and it might give you more information that could lead to you wanting to cast me. I can't wait to play.

Corey Brooks

BBUS18

What strategy will you have coming into the game? 

Well Corey wasn't known for being much of a strategist. So I think I am going to lay low and make social bonds and not try to shake anything up. However I will keep my ears open and if I have hear about anyone even throwing my name out. I will wind up and throw a fastball right at their head.

Do you consider yourself loyal?

To a certain extent. I am not going to sacrifice my game for somebody elses but if I am stuck between an ally and a non-ally obviously I am going to go with the person who has shown loyalty to me.

Do you prefer playing for yourself to get to the end or for you and your alliance? Would you risk your position in the game to get your alliance further?

It is all about me baby. I am a one man team. If I can make it with people I enjoy and have been working with, that is a bonus, but it is not a priority.

Again this is kind of a double sided question. I will take risks in the game. No risk no reward. So if it hurts my position in the game but keeping my allaince in the game could benefit me in the long run then ya I will risk it. 9th place is the same as 2nd place, both are losers.

When something sketchy happens, do you: call them out publicly, confront them privately, ask around or ignore it completely? 

Ask around. Though it is typically something I do not do, I won't be afraid to blow up someones game this season.

What is your take on pre-alliances? Will you auto align with houseguests you are friends with / target houseguests you dislike or will you have a clean slate? 

I don't think I am relevant enough anymore to have friends/enemies in ORGs. I am going to keep my head down, keep my alias up and go from there.

Anything you'd like to add to help cast you? 

plz

[Kat]

Erika Landin

BBUS4/7

What strategy will you have coming into the game?

My strategy is to try to make as many friends and enemies as possible. If there are enough people that like me, they won't want to vote me out and by expressing my dislike towards other people, everyone is going to know who are my targets.

Do you consider yourself loyal?

Kinda, I mean I usually make enough allies to the point, I have to turn on someone but I don't really like backstabbing people - I'd rather be honest with everybody who my targets are.

Do you prefer playing for yourself to get to the end or for you and your alliance? Would you risk your position in the game to get your alliance further? 

It depends, I mean if I like people from my alliance then why wouldn't I want to help them? I'm playing for fun and I'd rather see someone I clicked with win than some random I've never talked with.

When something sketchy happens, do you: call them out publicly, confront them privately, ask around or ignore it completely? 

Go crazy on them in the group chat! I mean if I sense one of my allies is acting sketchy, I'm going to investigate first but I really don't mind arguing with people I don't like and if they decide to target me for that then it's too bad because I'm not going to pretend I like people.

What is your take on pre-alliances? Will you auto align with houseguests you are friends with / target houseguests you dislike or will you have a clean slate?

I'm 99% sure no one I know is going to play in this game so I'm hoping there are no pre-alliances or I'm going to get super screwed. lol

Anything you'd like to add to help cast you? 

Cast me because I'm online 24/7, I'm not afraid to speak my mind and argue with people. And um I've never played a BB org and that'd be cool to play in one. 

[Kat]

Frankie Grande

BBUS16

What strategy will you have coming into the game?

As much as I'd love to come into this super over the top and piss people off I can't. My character is already controversial and risky. I have to go into this super quiet and try to please these housemates. I gotta be careful the way I come off to these people so I'm not an early target. 

Do you consider yourself loyal? 

Yessir I'm loyal to those who are loyal to me. 

Do you prefer playing for yourself to get to the end or for you and your alliance? Would you risk your position in the game to get your alliance further? 

I always try and not get too attached to the people I meet. Every move, every vote, every lie will be to get myself further. 

When something sketchy happens, do you: call them out publicly, confront them privately, ask around or ignore it completely? 

I asked around and get people talking. I don't have the best comp skills to be able to confront people and win a challenge on the spot to save myself. 

What is your take on pre-alliances? Will you auto align with houseguests you are friends with / target houseguests you dislike or will you have a clean slate? 

Pregames make me nervous. Once you figure someone out its hard to have a clean slate. I like to focus on the bonds I make with people before I know who they are to decide if I will align with them. Just because I may know someone we might have different game mindsets. 

Anything you'd like to add to help cast you? 

SHINE BRIGHT LIKE A FRANKIE!!!!

Jee Choe

BBUS4

What strategy will you have coming into the game?

Chilling and trying to position myself well to do well in the lategame comps, but I really dont know, I feel like I try to play like Andy/steve but it's hard to know until i'm in there. I prefer to be UTR

Do you consider yourself loyal? 

Only if it benefits me

Do you prefer playing for yourself to get to the end or for you and your alliance? Would you risk your position in the game to get your alliance further?

Myself, I like to win. I"d risk my position if I think it's the right move

When something sketchy happens, do you: call them out publicly, confront them privately, ask around or ignore it completely?

Privately, asking around depending on the event. I don't like being envolved in drama

What is your take on pre-alliances? Will you auto align with houseguests you are friends with / target houseguests you dislike or will you have a clean slate? 

Isn't it alias? I mean I'd try to take them out at some point I'd figure since they'd be numbers, I'd lean towards working with really good friends, but I don't think I have that many people I"m super close to in the ORG world

Anything you'd like to add to help cast you? 

Yea, I've applied before and didn't get cast. I always have good confessionals, and confess every round

Jun Song
BBUS4

What strategy will you have coming into the game? 

In the past I’ve attempted the floater strategy as well as the “I don’t give a shit comp beast” strategy and have had fun with both. This time around I think I’ll use elements of both while mostly trying to stay out of the way and be seen as a non-threat while the leaders and gamers take themselves out of the game. When the time is right, I’ll turn the heat on.

Do you consider yourself loyal?

Yes! I’m super loyal to myself. I mean it’s all about you at the end of the day right? I’ve backstabbed plenty of times in the past but now I feel like people are so sensitive in this era of ORGs that I’ll have to be more loyal than I usually am.

Do you prefer playing for yourself to get to the end or for you and your alliance? Would you risk your position in the game to get your alliance further? 

I play for myself obviously! I don’t play these games to make friends, I got enough of them in real life haha. My position in the game is most important and if my alliance can’t see that then oh well. They can be all kumbaya in jury.

When something sketchy happens, do you: call them out publicly, confront them privately, ask around or ignore it completely? 

When I used to play I would usually call them out publicly haha because it’s just more fun that way let’s be honest. But now I think I’ll have to learn to bite my tongue. Depending on the magnitude of the issue I’ll either confront them privately or just let it go.

What is your take on pre-alliances? Will you auto align with houseguests you are friends with / target houseguests you dislike or will you have a clean slate? 

Not a fan. I doubt I’ll come across anyone I know anyway lol.

Anything you'd like to add to help cast you? 

I promise I’ll try and make this season a memorable one! I may or may not play in character. It depends if the cast is fun enough haha. Thank you!

Kalia Booker
BBUS13

What strategy will you have coming into the game?

I often use similar strategies in ORGs. I have been told that I have one of the strongest social games of people in ORGs and I am very capable of getting people to like me. My main goal is to fake it until I make it. In the initial stages of the game, my strategy is to make sure that everybody likes me. In Big Brother, I think that is key to making it to the end, and the early rounds are usually geared towards getting those out that a majority of the house does not like. I want to make sure that isn't me, so bonding with people right away is my initial goal and strategy. I am very capable of dominating challenges and outsmarting a lot of people with my strategic mindset. I plan to continue that in this game if I am cast, and I will take the game into my hands. Anybody that I have played with will agree that I am very good at making sure that I have 2-3 extremely loyal allies that will pick me over anybody. I plan to continue that trend in this game and hope that I can round up some loyal allies who can help me do my dirty work.

Do you consider yourself loyal?

I wouldn't consider myself the most loyal person in the world, no. I think that I am very capable of displaying loyalty if somebody displays it to me, but I am also very likely to stab somebody in the back if I see that is best for me. I am loyal to those that are in my end game plans. If you are in those plans, you have nothing to worry about. But, if you're not, there is a strong chance that I am going to stab you in the back to get to the end and I will do it in a way that you won't expect it. 

Do you prefer playing for yourself to get to the end or for you and your alliance? Would you risk your position in the game to get your alliance further? 

I prefer to play for myself. I like being described as an independent and dominant force in a game. In the early stages of a game like Big Brother, I think it is crucial to satisfy your alliance. However, I would much rather my alliance do what is best for me, than do what is best for them. My goal is to make it to the end and win, not have an alliance like the Friendship Alliance from BB6 and just make it with people that I like. Obviously I would love to meet some friends in these games, but I am ultimately playing to win and I really hope that I can prove that I have what it takes to win another game.

When something sketchy happens, do you: call them out publicly, confront them privately, ask around or ignore it completely? 

It depends on the situation. Now, I am certainly not scared to publicly call somebody out and "cuss a bitch out" if you'd like to describe it that way. If I believe that doing that will not blow up my game or affect it in a negative way, I will most certainly do it. I live for the drama, and I think it makes things a lot more fun. However, I won't do something if I think that it will blow up my game entirely. Past hosts and PWs have described me as somebody who is very capable of being calm and collected when people are openly plotting against me. I realize that publicly calling somebody out or confronting them can just make matters worse. The best way to get your target out is for them to feel safe, and then you yank that safety away from them before they even have a chance to react.

What is your take on pre-alliances? Will you auto align with houseguests you are friends with / target houseguests you dislike or will you have a clean slate? 

Pre-game alliances are lame. I recently played in an All Stars where people had a bunch of friends in the game, and I spent my entire game just splitting those friendships up and taking them all out. I don't respect people who do well by playing with friends. I respect people who play with those who they don't know and earn their spot in the end. I respect gameplayers, not those who pre-game and make it far solely because of that. I go into each game with a new mindset, if I have a suspicion that one of the houseguests is somebody that I do not like, it will not affect the game, because maybe they will be really beneficial to me this time around. The same goes for if I think they are somebody that I like, it sure as hell doesn't mean that I am going to work with them. 

Anything you'd like to add to help cast you?

I don't want to come off as cocky, I just think that I am somebody who is a dominant strategist and I dedicate my time to games. I am most certainly going to be a great person to have in your cast if you are looking to cast me. I can be the whole package, I can be a strategic dominatrix, a social butterfly, a challenge beast and I can always provide you with great insight in my confessionals and also have some pretty entertaining moments for the game. I look forward to hearing back from you guys.

Loveita Adams
BBCAN4

What strategy will you have coming into the game? 

usually i come in with the strategy to make really strong personal bonds with people and stay really quiet when it comes to pushing for things because i wanna avoid a target or avoid being visible. but this time i wanna change that. i'm not gonna change the part about making bonds since i'm a ~social person~ by nature but i'm definitely gonna change my quiet and meek presence. i want to make things happen. i want my voice to be heard. i wanna be in on all of the CP game-y strategy thingies. it would feel so awesome to be someone who can sit at the end and be like "i did this, this, and this and i basically kicked ass!!!" and i feel like i've never really had the chance to do that, i've mostly just tried to capitalize on my ~UTR, playing with my heart~ kind of game that people don't seem to love. basically what i'm saying is that i wanna come in and kick some major butt right off the bat.

Do you consider yourself loyal? 

i'm usually loyal to a fault. the relationships i make in the game almost always come from a genuine place and as much as i've tried to be the person who severs strong bonds to advance themselves, i don't think i can do it without feeling like a horrible person. i think if i'm cast, it'll probably stay the same with this game.

Do you prefer playing for yourself to get to the end or for you and your alliance? Would you risk your position in the game to get your alliance further? 

i would prefer to be sitting at the end with people from my alliance. if i'm gonna lose to someone, i want it to be someone i feel good about. however, i wouldn't risk my position in the game to get my alliance further. if that consists of like being put up as a pawn or like throwing competitions or something, i'm probably not gonna be about it at all.

When something sketchy happens, do you: call them out publicly, confront them privately, ask around or ignore it completely? 

i'm the type of person to ask around instead of confront the person who is being sketchy. it's a bad habit and i should PROBABLY try to avoid not going straight to the source for all of my future games but i guess there's something in my personality that just makes me non-confrontational (unless you're confronting me THEN i'll probably turn it up tbh) and i'm not sure if that'll change.

What is your take on pre-alliances? Will you auto align with houseguests you are friends with / target houseguests you dislike or will you have a clean slate? 

is this a question about non alias pre-alliances??? if it is, i think every game is a new experience and a chance for you to try something new. pre-alliances and targeting go against a lot of what i believe in when it comes to playing these. however, if i like someone and trust them, it's definitely gonna be harder for me to get rid of them. but i wouldn't say we're an automatic final 2.

if it's not, i'm definitely gonna align with people i like right off the bat. it's mostly just common sense for me. a lot of how i feel about people personally will be the deciding factors in what i wanna do going forward in the beginning stages of the game. if i like someone, i'm gonna want them around. if i don't, i'm gonna want them gone ASAP. however, i think during the end of the game is when you need to start thinking about if just "liking" someone is gonna be enough for you to trust them at the end.

Anything you'd like to add to help cast you? 

survivor obviously isn't my game so CAST ME FOR THIS SO I CAN ~FLOURISH~ like a flower or whatever

Meg Maley

BBUS17

What strategy will you have coming into the game? 

I'm going to try and keep as active as positive with the houseguests. My social gameplay will be my #1 resource (even though I'm probably going to be awkward as fuck). Physical gameplay is definitely not my strong suit (thanks, loyal internet connection), so I'll try to do the best I can but try not to win, because I'm literally the worst at making decisions so I probably won't be good at nominating people unless I'm dead set on getting someone packing.

Do you consider yourself loyal? 

I do consider myself loyal.

Do you prefer playing for yourself to get to the end or for you and your alliance? Would you risk your position in the game to get your alliance further? 

I would risk my position in the game to get my alliance further, my friends are always the priority over me. I guess that's probably a bad thing on my game, but they likely deserve it more than me.

When something sketchy happens, do you: call them out publicly, confront them privately, ask around or ignore it completely? 

I would probably ask around

What is your take on pre-alliances? Will you auto align with houseguests you are friends with / target houseguests you dislike or will you have a clean slate? 

I'll try and have a clean slate, but if there's someone that I know from past games that I trust (probably only like one person), I'll probably end up aligning with them.

Anything you'd like to add to help cast you? 

******** is dead to me

Michelle Visage
CBBUK15

What strategy will you have coming into the game? 

My strategy is to win that first HOH and situate myself in an alliance because alliances always fall into the lap of that first HOH. From that point I want to shape the jury for myself but not really take a BIG position until early jury phase. I just wanna fuck shit up.

Do you consider yourself loyal? 

lol... Um.... No. Not really. I know when to cut my losses but if you're a good friend, we good sis.

Do you prefer playing for yourself to get to the end or for you and your alliance? Would you risk your position in the game to get your alliance further? 

Um I wanna win. So they can all burn as long as I win.

When something sketchy happens, do you: call them out publicly, confront them privately, ask around or ignore it completely? 

I am not good at holding back what I wanna say. I'll blow up and then try to fix my position later.. I'm not really good at that part.

What is your take on pre-alliances? Will you auto align with houseguests you are friends with / target houseguests you dislike or will you have a clean slate? 

I literally don't have a lot of ORG friends so a clean slate by default, I guess lmao.

Anything you'd like to add to help cast you? 

Cast me this time because I really am fucking crazy.

Natalie Negrotti
BBUS18

What strategy will you have coming into the game? 

Last time I played, people were convinced that I was a massive threat pretty early in the game. As fun as that was, I think I would choose to lay low if given another chance. Ideally, I'd focus more on making strong social connections with people and making myself an appealing ally worth having, but that's often easier said than done!

Do you consider yourself loyal? 

Yes, but only to the right people!

Do you prefer playing for yourself to get to the end or for you and your alliance? Would you risk your position in the game to get your alliance further? 

Honestly, it depends on how well I hit it off with someone. I'd like to consider myself someone that plays strictly for myself, but I know if I feel a genuine connection with someone, I tend to do whatever I can to make sure we make it to the end together rather than separately.

When something sketchy happens, do you: call them out publicly, confront them privately, ask around or ignore it completely? 

WELL, until Rise & Fall, I considered myself someone that tries to avoid confrontation all together. I'm someone that typically tries to be cautious, but if I feel that I'm under attack in some way, I stick up for myself.

What is your take on pre-alliances? Will you auto align with houseguests you are friends with / target houseguests you dislike or will you have a clean slate? 

Pre-alliances in alias games are frustrating and completely defeat the purpose of playing an alias game, IMO.

Anything you'd like to add to help cast you? 

I promise not to telepathically convince people that they need to quit this time around.

[Kat]

Mad Luna Calafiore
BBUS18

What strategy will you have coming into the game? 

The strategy I'll have never really changes when I begin Orgs. I try not to play overplay and I just act super UTR. My strongest ability is my social game and that's the most important in a Big Brother game. I usually can lay low the first week or two, sift out people I don't want to work with, and eventually make a ride or die.

Do you consider yourself loyal? 

I consider myself loyal to a fault. I've gone down with sinking ships just because I genuinely loved my ally and I could never entertain the idea of backstabbing them. To me, there's a distinct difference of voting out and plotting against someone you're friendly with over backstabbing an actual ally. I can't do the latter.

Do you prefer playing for yourself to get to the end or for you and your alliance? Would you risk your position in the game to get your alliance further? 

Ha, this is like my question. Yeah, winning would be nice, but I play these games to have fun and meet new people and just make sure I can play the entirety of the game with them. If we've been together since Day 00 and we're in Final 3 and I win Final HoH? You bet your ass I'm bringing you to the end with me!

When something sketchy happens, do you: call them out publicly, confront them privately, ask around or ignore it completely? 

I kind of do two of the four things mentions. If I get an idea of something sketch happening I'll try to diffuse the situation or just try to find a shining light of truth. After I've gathered enough data I'll pocket it OR I'll call them out. The times I've openly called people out in Orgs on the board or the group chat has helped me stay immensely. It's like people were trying to throw me under the bus secretly and when I called them out publicly they didn't have a leg to stand on. The two times I've done that it managed to work out for me. I was the decoy boot, but I didn't go home. 😉 tRy AgAiN sWeEtIeS.

What is your take on pre-alliances? Will you auto align with houseguests you are friends with / target houseguests you dislike or will you have a clean slate? 

It isn't fun because they haven an unfair advantage, BUT I will auto-align with people I jive with instantly. I feel like this is more of AS question, but I tend to always treat every new game with a clean slate!

Anything you'd like to add to help cast you? 

Cast me! I've been waiting years to play this Org and now that my ban has been lifted I'm ready for all these peeps to get #rekt

Tiffany Rousso
BBUS18

What strategy will you have coming into the game? 

Have fun. Be a serious gamer, but not take things too personally.

Do you consider yourself loyal? 

to an extent, yes. I've lost games because I've been too loyal, but I've also stabbed people in the back as well. It comes from having too many allies.

Do you prefer playing for yourself to get to the end or for you and your alliance? Would you risk your position in the game to get your alliance further? 

A little of both. I would probably not risk my position in the game to get my alliance further, unless I really liked my alliance! and I trusted them completely.

When something sketchy happens, do you: call them out publicly, confront them privately, ask around or ignore it completely? 

ask around, confront them privately

What is your take on pre-alliances? Will you auto align with houseguests you are friends with / target houseguests you dislike or will you have a clean slate? 

Clean slate all the way. Pre-alliances stink.

Anything you'd like to add to help cast you? 

I always take games seriously, I can appreciate the work that goes into hosting. It's been a while since I played an ORG and want to see how I fare after some time off. I always say I'm going to "retire" after one last game...
