Adam Kelly
BBUK

Played by: Vic
Played in this series before: Yes [GinaMarie]
Other series: Kim P [Sausage] Kass [Shadow] 
Prediction: Final 2

Based on the cast and his experience, I think he has what it takes to make it to the end. Vic is a really good player, socially and strategically. I would like to see if he can pull it off once again but this time without G0. 

Get to know Adam~
Here are some of his answers to questions from the app!

What strategy will you have coming into the game?

Okay so I have been thinking about this a lot and honestly I would LOVE to have the same strategy I did in season 4. If I can find someone that's a bigger threat than I am and ride them (lol) all the way and then cut them at the end that would kind of be perfect.

Do you consider yourself loyal?

To an extent but I've proven in games that I will cut a bitch to win if needed

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?

Depends on at what point in the game it is. In the beginning of the game you need strength in numbers so if it were at the beginning then I would definitely do what I could to get the group further. If it was at jury then fuck em if they're hurting my game.

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

I try my best not to confront them privately and just keep it on the back burner but honestly I'm such a confrontational person that I can't help but say something to them a lot of the time.

Aisha Mckinnon
BBAUS

Played by: Cameron
Played in this series before: No
Other series: Annie [GVSE] Kristen Wiig [Starz] Steph [TSG] Wanda [Sausage]
Prediction: Jury

Cameron is a decent player but I don't see him making it that far as he isn't the most active. He states that he works a lot so that could hinder his game. I think he will sneak into the jury but will be one of the early jurors. From memory he is a bit trolly.

Get to know Aisha~
Here are some of her answers to questions from the app!

What strategy will you have coming into the game?

i tbh suck ass at big brother, and always get like first juror, so i'm thinking i'll change my strat up for this. normally i'm friendly with everyone, get in a tight alliance early on, and get taken out as a social threat midway through.

i think i'm gonna try being much more polarizing. i don't want to be a social threat, i want one side to like me and one side to hate me. i wanna bb6 this place"

Do you consider yourself loyal?

100000000% to one or 2 people most

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 it depends tbh like last time i played gvse i was playing entirely for my allies but it depends on the game

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

i feel like calling them out publicly will be better for the whole divide and conquer strategy

[Kat]

Audrey Middleton
BBUS

Played by: Daniel
Played in this series before: Yes [Brittany]
Other series: Vlad [GVSE]
Prediction: Jury

Daniel has improved so much since playing his first game which was RNF7. He was robbed in AS2 so we didn't get to see his full potential. I think he will make jury because he's social and likeable. The only downside in his game is that he's pretty bad at competitions. Altho since there is no G0 in this game, it does give people a chance to win something lol Looking forward to see him play!

Get to know Audrey~
Here are some of her answers to questions from the app!

What strategy will you have coming into the game?

Don't really have a strategy. Just gonna socialize a bit at first and through time a strategy will develop!

Do you consider yourself loyal?

Yes, 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?

At first I always start playing for myself. But then if there's an alliance that I'm in and I know that this is the group of people I want to be with in the end I start wanting to protect them till the end.

I actually did this in GVSE when my tribe wanted to vote out someone who I trusted extremely well. And I stuck my neck out a bit to keep her there and she ended up staying! It did risk my position a bit in the game after that but it was something I've never really done before and I probably would do it again.

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

I don't think I'd ever call them out publicly. I can never see myself doing that lol. Asking around or talking to them privately are the two options that I would do.

[Kat]

Charlotte Crosby
CBBUK

Played by: Jake
Played in this series before: Yes [Ian]
Other series: Toby [Starz]
Prediction: Pre-Jury

Jake is from a different timezone (Poland) so he will suffer with activity. It is very hard to play games when majority of the cast are American / Canadian. While Jake is really sweet and a nice guy, he is not the best player. He wants redemption and states that he has improved so I'm interested to see what he will bring this season. 

Get to know Charlotte~
Here are some of her answers to questions from the app!

What strategy will you have coming into the game?

My plan coming into the game is to play smart when it comes to moves, and just basically work my way up the social ladder.As for competitions, i do want to win them but i want to balance it out to not make myself look like a target for everybody to get rid of.

Do you consider yourself loyal?

I am loyal to some extent.Everybody has their own alliances and side deals but if you come to me and propose to me one of them and do the same thing to the others, i will not buy that.But if you truly have my back and help me out.I'll be basically your side buddy for forever if that's the case.

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 because in the end everybody is for themselves and that's pretty much how things work in Big Brother.And also sometimes if you pick wrong sides you can end up in a not-so interesting social position.

I would never risk my position for my alliance because like i said before in the end it's everybody for themselves and if you screw up somebody from your alliance can use it as an advantage just to turn the table and get you eliminated.

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

First i ask around about what is actually happening, then if i have any evidence or just any clue to what is going on.I approach them privately and settle it in private.I am not a drama queen and i really don't like to be one.

[Kat]

Gerry Stergiopoulos
BBUK

Played by: Alex
Played in this series before: Yes [Lane/Joe]
Other series: Jim J [Starz] Scott [URTV] Alex [Sausage]
Prediction: Jury

I haven't seen Alex play in a while but he generally is a good player. I guess you could say he is hit or miss. He's likeable and decent at competitions. I can see him making the jury but don't see him floating his way to the end.

Get to know Gerry~
Here are some of his answers to questions from the app!

What strategy will you have coming into the game?

For whatever reason, I tend to get targeted in the beginning. I'm a nice person overall, and people must think that it's fake or something. I plan on lying low for the first 2-3 rounds and establishing solid alliances, plural. You can't just have one. If I do win however, I am never afraid to go for people who are going after me because I want to win. People are so anti-floater, but floating is an absolute solid strategy and if I can make it through the first few rounds, I will have no problems floating to the end.

Do you consider yourself loyal?

To whomever is in power, yes. Big Brother is a game of making and breaking deals and you can't be too loyal. I appear loyal and that's what really matters.

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 for myself. You can always make a new alliance and if they're willing to put me at risk, they're not a good alliance to have anyone.

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

Ask around then confront them privately. You can't ignore it completely and people will generally turn it on you if you call them out publicly. Plus, you can figure out who is on what side when you ask people about fights.

Godfrey Mangwiza
BBCAN

Played by: JP
Played in this series before: No
Other series: Sean [Twisted] Nick [Pure] Rocky [Stranded]
Prediction: Jury
 
I haven't seen JP in action so I can't really comment. He has won a series before and his average in alias games is 2nd so he should be good. Based on his app and what I read, he is a character. This is his first BB game so I'm interested in how he will play. Leo prob will be able to shed some more info about him.

Get to know Godfrey~
Here are some of his answers to questions from the app!

What strategy will you have coming into the game?

i always come in with the same flawless strategy that gets me either the win, or the final 3. i walk in, talk shit, be stupid, get allies, make dick jokes, make a few important moves against some key allies, get to the end with either a goat or someone unlikable and then reap the benefits baby! i've done it twice now where i hit the finals against some easy ass people to beat, so i just make sure my threat level is low and people think i'm stupid, and then at the end, i'll u-turn that reputation! it's all good from then on.

Do you consider yourself loyal?

eh yeah, but like... i backstabbed my best friend in my first game, so i can be ruthless too. go figure that's the one game i win lawl.

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?

not the very end, but as far as possible. the more numbers i got, the more people who wont nominate me right? i haven't played a bb game online but i love bb so i assume that's the method people SHOULD use.

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

a mix between the first two. just ask morgan in survivor pure, when she told people what i was telling her, i told her to shut the fuck up several times and to stop talking to me after a certain point. it wasn't public, like i didn't make a group and say ""morgan, your as fake as your tits"" but like... i was vocal about my opinion. bitch was crazy in my defence.

so mostly a private confrontation, with a hint of publicity.

[Kat]

Jackie Ibarra
BBUS

Played by: Kimmy D
Played in this series before: Yes [Krystal/Jade]
Other series: Zooey [Starz] Natalie T [Sausage] Elyse [Shadow]
Prediction: Jury

Kim is a decent player like she always seems to do well. She never really is the one in the spotlight, so she kinda plays more in the background. I hope she changes up her game this time around from what we have experienced in this series. If she starts asking for extensions then we know what is in store  

Get to know Jackie~
Here are some of her answers to questions from the app!

What strategy will you have coming into the game?

I don't really have a set strategy coming into the game, since this is big brother, I'm going to try my best to be as social as possible and fit in so I don't get booted the first few rounds afterwards, I can hopefully find my footing

Do you consider yourself loyal?

Yes... sometimes too 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 prefer playing for myself, I do get greedy but I also feel bad having to go against an alliance member too. I have risk my position for my alliance to get further but I probably wouldn't this time around.

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

Depends on what it is, who it's with and timing. If it's done at the beginning of the game, I would probably ignore it but just keep tabs on the person until I can get more information. If it's later in the game, I have something that's called an abi maria in me and will confront them but in privately though

[Kat]

John McGuire
BBUS

Played by: Alex B
Played in this series before: No
Other series: Spencer/Yul [Twisted] Aras [Pure] Eddie [Rustic] Ethan [Warriors]
Prediction: Pre-Jury

Like JP (Godfrey), I haven't seen him in action and this is his first BB game so it's hard to comment. I did think his app was pretty good and he has placed decent based on the links he supplied so it could go either way.

Get to know Johnny~
Here are some of his answers to questions from the app!

What strategy will you have coming into the game?

I'm definitely gonna lay low strategically at first and get my footing. I usually start Survivor like that but especially now because I'm not as used to this style of gameplay.

I'm probably gonna chat it up early and often as usual and see what kind of early alliance I can get. The more safety nets I have the better. I'm not coming in looking to deal the whole house, but I'm gonna want to see where everyone is playing. Information is key, especially when you're inexperienced like me and can't guess as well as a super fan could as to strategies/scenarios of others.

Do you consider yourself loyal?

Not particularly. I'll always do what's best for me. I'm very loyal if it makes sense in the long run though, I prefer not to betray unless I feel necessary, but it often is.

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?

Absolutely not. I'd rather lose as a lone wolf playing hard than lose as a dope who took the wrong people to the end.

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

It depends who it is. My ally? Go to them privately, but definitely ask around and get the feel of the situation with the tribe/the house before I react.

An enemy? Then I can't really go after them, I'd prefer to lay low but if I'm in a dire position I can start playing a pretty loud game from the chopping block.

[Kat]

Kevin Martin
BBCAN

Played by: Amr
Played in this series before: Yes [Drew D]
Other series: Jefra [Shadow] Erinn [Sausage]
Prediction: Jury

While Amr also suffers from being from a different timezone, he makes it work. He's a really good player. Very strategic and decent at competitions. I think he can make it far if he like puts a ton of effort. I've seen him excel in other games but his appearance both times in this series, is nothing really to talk about. 

Get to know Kevin~
Here are some of his answers to questions from the app!

What strategy will you have coming into the game?

Big Brother is about the social game, so that's my main focus... I wanna form tight bonds with a lot of people and hope it takes me far in the game, then I'll be making HUGE moves towards the end. I wanna take it slow and not play too hard too fast

Do you consider yourself loyal?

I'm VERY loyal, that it actually screws me over sometimes

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 both tbh, but of course I'd do what's best for me too as an individual

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

I just ignore it, no need for drama... But i definitely keep what happened in mind to turn against them when the time is right

[Kat]

Michael Beveridge
BBAUS

Played by: John
Played in this series before: No
Other series: N/A
Prediction: Jury

John is new to this ORG community. He is from the PM community (like Greg and Tahan (S10)) so he isn't used to this style. I do think he will do well though because he's super active, opinionated and just a typical forum user lol if that makes sense. I can see him rubbing people the wrong way though due to being opinionated. He might struggle with the timezone since he's aussie but as I said, he's active so maybe not. He should be entertaining despite claiming to be boring af below lol

Get to know Michael~
Here are some of his answers to questions from the app!

What strategy will you have coming into the game?

My strategy? I am a worm 100% I will attach myself like a leech to bigger personalities, let them do all the work and fight it out amongst themselves and then at the end I will dispose of whoever is left. For it to work I have to make sure I am not the most dangerous player until the very, very end. So in actuality I will probably be the 2nd least liked player at the end but if I am sitting next to the least liked player that’s all that counts.

Do you consider yourself loyal?

Yes I generally am as much as anyone is in these games. Obviously not as we get closer to the finish line but I won’t make moves for entertainment sake at the start. I’m boring af.

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?

F u c k no.

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

When something sketchy happens I bitch about it to everyone who I can trust. If you are voluntarily giving me ammo against you I will be firing it on all cylinders. I want everyone to hate each other as much as possible so I can glide through.

Penny Higgs
BBAUS

Played by: Jordan
Played in this series before: No
Other series: Isaac [GVSE]
Prediction: Pre-Jury

I haven't seen this person in action so it's hard to say. I do like their app and since he wants to play low-key, I can see him making it far because it's really easy to play BB under the radar. I'm putting him as Pre-Jury tho so hopefully he surprises me.

Get to know Penny~
Here are some of her answers to questions from the app!

What strategy will you have coming into the game?

I just came out of a Survivor game where part of my downfall was getting too comfortable and not realizing the fluidity of the alignments around me. I want to be a low-key social player, not a puppetmaster (at least right out of the gate), but someone who is always necessary for any plans that get hatched. I can't play that style of a game, though, and get dead set in old alliances or caught up emotionally in drama. Essentially I want to work on retaining my level-headedness even when things are getting crazy.

Do you consider yourself loyal?

My answer depends on the stage of the game. I am not quick to cut my friends and allies in the early game, but if we're getting closer to the end and it becomes clear that I can't beat someone in front of the jury, then I will cut them. Not in a mean-spirited backstabbing kind of way, but in a ""I respect you so much that I can't let you get any further"" kind of way.

We could totally grab coffee or something after the game after I do that though if they're up for 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?

This is so situational. In theory, I would be playing for me and only me (I've yet to win a social ORG), but I could conceivably become so enamored with an alliance that I wouldn't care if I lost as long as one of my friends won.

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

I would discreetly investigate. Analogy: suppose I have a child and they break something valuable. I wouldn't yell. I would probe to see what they were doing that caused the thing to be broken, come up with a solution that makes everyone happy, not cry over the broken thing, and move on. Of course, I would still make sure all of my other valuable fragile things are moved to a more secure location. Essentially I would try to avoid calling someone out, figure out what led to the sketchiness, and act optimistically, but with insurance, from there.

Pilar Nemer
BBCAN

Played by: Deena
Played in this series before: Yes [Monet]
Other series: Natalie [Rustic (Host)] Adam [Warriors] Nina [GVSE]
Prediction: Pre-Jury

Deana was Monet in RNF9. While she had her moments, she kinda was a flop but it seems like she has improved since then. Like Jake [Charlotte], she wants redemption and to show us that she isn't terrible. I'm praying that she does well  I hope she isn't all talk tho  

Get to know Pilar~
Here are some of her answers to questions from the app!

What strategy will you have coming into the game?

Well last time I went in and didn't care what I did or if i pissed anyone off, now I'm going in being a little more cautious. I'm not gonna sit around idle while alliances form without me. I'm going to be in all those alliances, I'm going to make sure I'm not left in the dust again. Also I PLAN on winning more comps, but lets be honest I will probably still be god awful on that aspect.

Do you consider yourself loyal?

It depends on the person honestly, if I connect with someone on a personal level there's no way I can backstab them. Anyone else though, is fair game to be burned at the stake.

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's all about me in the end of the day. If what's best for me is getting my alliance to the end then they can join me for the ride, but I will never make a move that will intentionally hurt me.

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

In a nice way, bring it up to them privately, and make sure there's no bad blood, and then in confessionals talk about how they are such a shady person.

[Kat]

Ray Baxter
BBAUS

Played by: Aaron
Played in this series before: No
Other series: Phillip [GVSE]
Prediction: Final 2

I really liked Aaron's app and I heard that he is a good player so I hope he brings it. I like that he wants to be under the radar and calculated. Let's hope he can keep his emotions in check.

Get to know Ray~
Here are some of his answers to questions from the app!

What strategy will you have coming into the game?

One problem with my game in GVSE was that I was, like, way too emotional. I also had issues with strategic timing that severely crippled me later on. I'm hoping to play a more lowkey game this time around. I can get pretty emotional, but I'm really just hoping to let myself focus on the game. I'm social by nature, but I don't want to be social to the point where people notice and consider me a threat.

I'm babbling. Basically, I want to play a little under the radar at first. I want to be calculated, and I want to be cerebral, because being emotional hasn't done me any favors. I just hope I can stick to that.

Do you consider yourself loyal?

To a fault. Once I have a person, I generally stick with them and don't really doubt their intentions unless they give me reason to. Again, this was my downfall in my last game because I was too free with what I was saying to people who I thought generally had my best interests in mind.

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?

Like I said, I'm a social person. I don't like having massive alliances, but once I have a core group of people that I feel comfortable with, I'd much rather get to the end as a group than as an individual. I think it's fair to say that I'd be willing to risk my position in the game to further my alliance, but that might be my emotions talking again.

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

I'm not normally a confrontational person, but it seems that conflict finds me in these things no matter what I do. I'm hoping to take an asking around approach this time around to get a broader perspective on a situation before doing anything else. I'm not the type to explode publicly because that's no real benefit to anyone, but I'm not against approaching someone privately once I know all the facts.

[Kat]

Sara Folino
BBUK

Played by: Colin
Played in this series before: No
Other series: Jenna [Twisted] Gina [Warriors]
Prediction: Pre-Jury

I haven't seen Colin in action so it's hard to comment lol He's in the same boat as JP (Godfrey) & Johnny (Alex). This is his first BB game and has won an ORG so he shouldn't be too bad. 

Get to know Sara~
Here are some of her answers to questions from the app!

What strategy will you have coming into the game?

I honestly have no clue, I've never seen an episode of BB in my life and I just had a friend refer this series to me.

Do you consider yourself loyal?

Yes - I won my ORG by sticking with one ally to the end before throwing her under the bus. So at least one half of that sentence was loyal - I'm loyal, but not to my own doom.

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?

Play for my alliance unless I think that they'll flip - I want my allies to get as far as I can before we lose.

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

Ask around - I need the whole story before I can make an informed decision.
