- Will you be playing as an alias? No

- What do you look for in an ORG?

I look for a game that looks promising. I look for a game that will have an active cast, as well as a cast that is going to fight to win the game. You need to have that competitive edge in a game. If the hosts are going to do all they can to make it the best for them, then the players need to step up and make the game the best they possibly can because the host can only do so much.

- What was your favourite game you ever played in? What placement did you get? Why was it your favourite?

I have played in many games in the past. I have not played in as many recently, but as it is the summer I have been trying to find games that have looked appealing to me. My most recent game was Survivor: Insanity. I placed 9th out of 21. It took them 5 rounds straight to get me out of the game. I used 2 idols and blindsided some people out of the game. My tribe never won a challenge, so I went to every tribal council and was able to use my social game to my strength and keep myself in the game longer than most people thought I would be in. This was one of my favorites because it wasn't an easy road. I had to save myself and use a social game to get myself further. I needed to climb out of the shadows and use my charm, make deals, and get further by getting the votes I needed in place. It was competitive and although I didn't win, I was proud of the way I played. I was a threat and was outsmarting people and ruining their plans, so they came after me. To go out a threat is better to float to the top.


Activity:

- What's your timezone? EST

- What days and times are busiest in your life? Do you go to school or work?
What is your schedule like?

Summer time baby! I am off for the summer, and am being lazy around the house and out in the sun! What more can you ask for? Money would be nice though, but hey! Summer tan! haha. I don't have a busy time as I am just having summer holidays. My schedule depends on the day, but I am free for most of it.

- How often are you on AIM?

I am on AIM quite often. I always have it logged on waiting for messages. I like to talk, so this is why it stays open almost constantly!

- How often will you post on the board and write confessionals?

Like I said, I love to talk. I love to post, I love to get to know people, make people laugh, I enjoy the drama at times and pick small arguments to get into peoples heads. I love writing detailed confessionals about EVERYTHING that is going on, as well as right creative story plots as it goes on to make it more entertaining. Love to write. It's something that adds a flavor to the game!


Strategy:

- What strategy will you have coming into the game?

My strategy coming into this game will be to be as social as possible. When you are social you not only gain the trust of others, but you can have a greater influence on them in the game. This is what I plan to do. You can come into the game and be someone who is strong headed or someone who will attempt to float through the game, but eventually this will catch up to you and you will be evicted. You have to have everyone know you are there, but give them a sense of security. If people come to you for the decisions they make, than you are basically playing the game and getting what you want. To have everyone play my game for me is what I plan to do. I plan to gain the trust, be super social, and get my way but make others think that they are doing what is best for them when in reality they are doing what is best for me. It sounds sneaky but... well it is sneaky but its how I will win the game!

- Do you consider yourself loyal?

I do consider myself to be loyal. When someone gives me their word and I give them mine, we are solid. I will not turn on them unless they turn on me first. I make the deal and then the ball is in their court to either honor it or not. It is completely up to them at that point. If they turn on me, than I take them out, its that simple. I use my other options and those who want to keep loyal to me, I keep loyal to them. Loyalty is a two way street and must be earned and proven with actions.

- 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 a tricky question. A lot of people want to seem nice and say that they are working for their alliance. I am not one of those people. Yes, I will want my alliance to get further in the game, and thus give me a better chance at winning, but my alliance cant win. Only one person can claim the spot of winner and I want that to be me, otherwise I wouldn't be playing. I would want my alliance to be right there with me, but if I knew I could win the game, I would honestly choose the selfish way out and move myself ahead in the game. I want to win, so I am going to play to win. If my alliance goes down, I am going to attempt to save myself, and as many others as I can, but I will need to get to safety first in order to do that. Sounds selfish but again, in the end only one can win and I would like that to be me. So sorry future alliance, but if you suck, I am leaving you in the dirt. Like they say, if you need to escape a bear, you don't need to outrun the bear, you just need to outrun your friend and it is your choice to either plainly outrun with speed or trip them on the way by.


Interaction:

- 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?

New game, new slate. I don't like pre-alliances because to me it becomes boring. I like it when new options are explored, new friendships are made, new enemies are made. It makes things a lot more exciting to watch, and keep the players guessing. I align myself with who I mesh with in each game, so if I knew someone before, and we mesh well then I am not going to turn them down, but if they are not in my gameplay to work with than I wont do it. I treat each game as a new one (except all stars situations) and go from there. You need to be able to be adaptable and not expect the same things again. What happened in one game probably wont happen in another one, so don't try to recreate it, move on and do something new. Who knows, maybe it will work for you... or when I take everyone out anyway it wont matter who they worked with hehe

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

Ask around. Get the details from anyone I can. See whos stories match up and whos don't. If it escalates than I may have to publicly call someone out to get the truth out of them, but we adapt as per the situation. It starts calm and then depending on others goes into choppy water.



Competitions:

- Do you believe in throwing competitions? Why or why not?

Never. I am here to play, and be the best. If I become a challenge threat than I win more challenges so that I can continue on doing what I do. I believe in being the best and to be the best you need to play your heart out all the time no matter what. There have been too many cases of people throwin competitions and in a lot of cases it comes back to bite them in the butt. I believe that is them getting what they deserve, and I think that you should be playing to win. Its a game, do it up.


Final Comments:

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

Active, sexy and outgoing. I want to play in this game extremely badly. I have heard great things and I want to conquer this game. I am someone who sucks at applications, so I hope that I have proven that I want to play and get chosen to play! If there is a sexy houseguest you want me to play as, I am willing too! Please pick me!

- Will you be playing as an alias?

I’ll probably make an account for the game, but I don’t think I will be actively hiding who I am. I usually fail when I try to do so, lol. I doubt I will know anyone though, its been awhile since I played in one most of the people I've played with have stopped playing.

- What do you look for in an ORG?

The most important thing that I am looking for an ORG is that it is a challenge. Part of this comes from the host’s creativity with twists and challenges, and part of this comes from the players passion for the game. I would much rather place 5th in a really competitive season than place 1st where it’s just a cakewalk to the end.

- What was your favourite game you ever played in? What placement did you get? Why was it your favourite?

I have played in Warzone and Starz and both are fantastic. I guess I will go with Starz since up and running.

In Starz I played Johnny Knoxville. I placed Second in season 2, losing by a vote of 4-3. It was a tough loss to take because the deciding vote came from this person who I screwed over wayyyyyy before jury (I think 12th place) but he still ended up on the jury anyways due to some jurors being expelled or absent. And he was deadset against voting for me.

Even though I didn’t win this one, I still feel like its better than any of my games because I was maintained the persona of a free agent but despite that through the jury stage I pretty much ran the show. I didn’t win an HOH til the final 3, but the only time I was ever on the block was at the final 4 after my f2 ally won the POV. I also flipped the vote at the final 8 using a double vote, penalty vote, charity vote and my own vote to overcome the three person majority that otherwise would have decided the vote.

Truly a fantastic series. I made some great friends in that Org and its the only series I am still a somewhat active member of.

Activity:

- What's your timezone?

EST


- What days and times are busiest in your life? Do you go to school or work? What is your schedule like?

I’m a waiter, so evenings can be tricky for me depending on the time frame. I usually work Thursday, Friday and Saturday nights but I can usually get home by around 10PM EST. Other than that, I work 3 or 4 days a week from 11-4PM EST those shifts have never conflicted with games in the past.

- How often are you on AIM?

Fairly often, but I will sometimes go invis when I would rather be selective about who I want to talk to.

- How often will you post on the board and write confessionals?

I LURRRRVVVEEE writing confessionals. They are one of my favorite parts of being in an ORG and I HATE when people don’t bother to update their DR. Like why even play? You can count on me to dish the dirt on a very consistent basis.

Strategy:

- What strategy will you have coming into the game?

My strategy is going to be to play hard right off the bat.

My number one priority is going to be to SOCIALIZE. I think my gift of gab is my best asset and I can usually make people like me as long as I don’t come off as too cocky. Having a good relationship with every relevant player in this game is essential. However I won’t be bothering with those one-word-responses people. I just hate them too much and they usually don’t end up mattering in the grand scheme of things anyways.

I am also going to try and win a competition or two early. I think its an important thing to win something early on because it allows you leverage for deals with people if you handle it correctly. But I certainly don’t intend to win everything possible.

- Do you consider yourself loyal?

I don’t think that I am the MOST loyal player. But I am usually very loyal to one or two players in a game. I am not afraid to make myself a target by winning a veto and saving them, but I won’t fall on a sword for them. I will lie to anyone when necessary, but I try to minimize deception except when there is no other option.

- 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 try to do both at the same time? I am a loyal person to the people I am ~truly~ allied with, and I would never sabotage my own alliance. But I will always try to make sure that the setup is favourable to me, and this is usually done by maintaining strong connections to each alliance member in addition to people outside of the alliance.

Interaction:

- 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?

This is a tricky issue because I DO think its lame when people are like: LETS COLLABORATE AND APPLY TO ALL THE SAME SERIES AND WIN THEM ALL HAHAHALOLZ.

But at the same time, when you happen to stumble upon your best friend in a game its not like it makes any sense for you to target them. Especially since you probably like them more than most of the cast since you already know eachother. I don’t necessarily decide they are my final 2 then and there, but I won’t ignore their presence.

I am not telling people that I am applying for this series because that feels like rigging. But would not write off the possibility of working with a friend if they ended up in the game.

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

I would usually ask around to confirm my information and then confront them privately. If the private confrontation doesn’t go well I might go public with it depending on the situation. I tend to shy away from doing so because it creates a potential target on both players.

Competitions:

- Do you believe in throwing competitions? Why or why not?

Not entirely. If its an HoH where everyone I am worried about is eliminated I might throw to an ally, but not before I am sure that I am satisfied with the outcome. Also, if there are prizes I will often try to go for them.

I try not to throw competitions though. Yes winning puts a target on your back, but a great competition game paired with a great social game can be an unstoppable force in this game.

Final Comments:

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

I just want to say that I really, really, really hope you select me. This looks like a cool series and I have heard great things about it. If you select me I will only be playing your game, which means you will get me at 100%. I would be a dedicated member of your cast and I would play to win!

I actually don’t know a single BB Australia contestant. If it turns out that you would need me to pick one, I would do it completely at random anyways. So if I have to pick a BBAus contestant, just pick whoever you want to see win the game? (There’s the cockiness I alluded to earlier).

- AIM: cataclysmicconrucopia

- Will you be playing as an alias?
Yes. stellahoodx.

- What do you look for in an ORG?
Good hosting and an active cast with fun and FAIR interactive competitions and twists.

- What was your favourite game you ever played in? What placement did you get? Why was it your favourite?

Hmmm, my favorite game to play in was probably.... URTV6 or Shadow Nicaragua. URTV6 because I had a good ally and it was fun and dramatic. Power constantly shifting and never knowing what to expect. Shadow Nicaragua kind of because of the opposite... while power did shift, I feel I was more on my own in this game and had to prove that I had what it took to survive and make it to the end without any pre-existing relationships, which I did.


Activity:

- What's your timezone?
EST


- What days and times are busiest in your life? Do you go to school or work? What is your schedule like?
Uhh, I don't have any set days I am busy but I do work, just not on a set schedule. I typically either work 8am-4pm EST though, but I've just picked up a 4pm-11pm shift which could become my new normal. It changes, I guess.


- How often are you on AIM?
I'm on AIM pretty much whenever I'm not at work, and usually when I'm not sleeping haha. I go on via my phone when I do not have access to a computer, so I'd say I'm pretty readily available.


- How often will you post on the board and write confessionals?
I will likely write confessionals nearly daily, depending on what I have to update. I'll post around the board when necessary. I don't want to be viewed as too big of a threat or an annoyance, so I will make posts to interact my 'character' Stella, but other than that I will wanna steer clear of being annoying. I don't wanna be 100% like Stella be wind up on the block like 10 times lol

Strategy:

- What strategy will you have coming into the game?

Being social is my #1 go-to strategy. I want people to like me for who I am, even if it's going to be as a character. I want them to know they can trust me, and that they will want to keep me around. Ideally I will align with the active players, or the players who will likely win competitions (HOHs) so I don't have to get blood on my hands, and so that I will be kept safe, at least for the beginning stage of the game. From there, I will step it up and go all out.

- Do you consider yourself loyal?
If I only have one alliance I will be 100% loyal to it. I tend not to make alliances that I know will fail, unless I absolutely have to. I hate to backstab and lately it's been coming out so that I will have to, but it's because people ask me for alliances and it's dumb to say no.


- 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 obviously, but part of playing for myself is to get my alliance to the end. If I am comfortable in my alliance then I will work to get us to the end so that I can get to the end within my alliance. If I feel on the outs of it, I will seek better options toward the end. I would only risk my position in a game to get my alliance further if I feel comfortable in my alliance.


Interaction:

- 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 are lame, especially if there's a few of them together, or when it's cross-tribal. I guess it's harder to observe in Big Brother games, but especially Survivor they just piss me off (SBB11, GVSE5). It's unfair when you're on opposite "sides" and then flip for each other, just because of who the other person is. You must not be confident in your own gameplay.

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

Depends on what it is. If the sketchy thing was in public, I may call them out publicly. But if it's a private manner, I will talk to them privately and shit-talk them to the rest of the house to spread as much doubt about said person as possible. I will have my way.


Competitions:

- Do you believe in throwing competitions? Why or why not?
I do believe in it, but I can't physically bring myself to doing it really lol. I always think about the "what-ifs" and what if I throw it and wind up leaving. I'd much rather be in control and get my hands dirty than throw it and wind up out the door.

Final Comments:

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

Please add me. I think I will be the perfect Estelle Landy and I want to prove it. I already have the screen name and have been preparing to be alias for this for ages. I can't wait to give RNF another go since Annie was so robbed. SO SO SO ROBBED.

- Will you be playing as an alias?
No

- What do you look for in an ORG?
A great cast, and a great host

- What was your favourite game you ever played in? What placement did you get? Why was it your favourite?
Rob's Survivor series - Micronesia. The cast was excellent, the challenges were fierce, and the host took an interest in each player. I came in 4th place.


Activity:

- What's your timezone?
Pacific

- What days and times are busiest in your life? Do you go to school or work? What is your schedule like?
I'm busiest on Wednesdays and Thursdays, and I work during the day. I'm free after 4 most days except Wednesday and Thursday.

- How often are you on AIM?
As often as I can, I'm on frequently.

- How often will you post on the board and write confessionals?
Frequently, when I sign up for a game I dedicate a lot of time to it and am very involved.


Strategy:

- What strategy will you have coming into the game?
Honestly, I don't have one. Just to be as social as possible and to forge strong, lasting relationships with my fellow competitors.

- Do you consider yourself loyal?
Yes, extremely.

- 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'm extremely loyal, and would most always play for my alliance to get to the end instead of playing selfishly.


Interaction:

- 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 despise pre-alliances. And I'm pretty emotionally driven in these games... So if I had no glaring reasons to target someone then it is likely that I would target houseguests that I'm not a fan of.

- When something sketchy happens, do you: call them out publicly, confront them privately, ask around or ignore it completely?
I'm very confrontational, and would call them out publicly. I don't mind being the center of attention, and I don't mind if I have haters. So I'm all about making a large public display and let everyone know how I'm feeling.


Competitions:

- Do you believe in throwing competitions? Why or why not?
No. Because at the end of the day, you can only rely on yourself for safety.


Final Comments:

- Anything you'd like to add to help cast you?
I'm a dedicated and passionate Big Brother fan, and I'm looking forward to this game very much. I have forged lasting relationships in these games before including a long distance relationship with my current girlfriend who now lives with me after moving across the country. I'm a very social player, and I can't wait to prove that to y'all.

Personal:



- Name: Tyler

- Age: 25 (for like 3 weeks still, eek)

- AIM: wlsczwmark

- Will you be playing as an alias?

If most people wind up picking them and doing so, then yes, since as silly as I sometimes feel using aliases, it's not worth it to be "that one guy not using one".


- What do you look for in an ORG?

I usually look for the simple things, like activity, active hosts, interesting yet realistic ideas (as opposed to really out there twists for the sake of it), and things like that. I also enjoy it when a game's challenges are very varied and set up in such a way that they're about as equal opportunity as possible. For instance, if 8/9 out of every 10 challenges were endurance, or photoshop challenges, I'd find it to be kind of frustrating.


- What was your favourite game you ever played in? What placement did you get? Why was it your favourite?

It's hard to pick an "absolute favourite" out of them, but there was a game called "Sark Islands" where I won unanimously and after the swap, everything in it seemed to just continually go my way. There was also a Survivor game called Santorini that I believe may have been my first win. I liked them because well, I like having a plan go accordingly, and that was the case with them. As well, there was a Big Brother game called Haunted where although I came 2nd, I showed a lot of people wrong that I was able to change a lot of people's opinions about me. If you for whatever reason need links to some of those, then I'll be sure to provide (though them being ones I like, doesn't necessarily mean they were ones I was the biggest character in or that I made the biggest moves in)


Activity:

- What's your timezone?

I'm on EST, Eastern Standard Time.


- What days and times are busiest in your life? Do you go to school or work? What is your schedule like?

I'm in the midst of trying to get work, so my schedule will be primarily open until I'm able to get one, an then it'll depend on work schedule. No day's really more or less busy regularly than any others with possible exceptions being sometimes Sunday, or if something's on. Most of my plans with friends and things, are only really known a day or two ahead of time.


- How often are you on AIM?

I'm on AIM a good amount of the time, and am often available if needed. I obviously have the same sort of things going on in my life that most people have, but it's nothing that should interfere too too much, I don't think.


- How often will you post on the board and write confessionals?

Every single round I'll post a confessional at the very least once. No matter how busy things get, I see no reason on why I can't find time to do a confessional each round, if not a couple. When I'm in a game that I like, I tend to genuinely enjoy writing confessionals and talking about it, even it it may sometimes come across as semi-rambly. And I'll be on the board very often too.


Strategy:

- What strategy will you have coming into the game?

I can't really have an unwavering and firm strategy as it's different between the different groups of people you play with, but I may have to keep low for a bit while I get to know people.

I want to make sure to do the usual things such as get an alliance going yeah, but I need to make sure to have someone within there to confide in. Hopefully when drama's involved in situations, I can try to be a neutral ground, but again, that's dependant upon the situation and people involved. In a game like this, while I want to have everything planned out, you've almost got to take things round by round, step by step, and you have to keep trying to make those you're working with happy, while doing what's still best for you.


- Do you consider yourself loyal?

I can be surprisingly loyal, and at times it's gotten me into trouble. Sure, I may do like everybody else and have a couple of fake deals or alliances to save myself if I'm really in trouble, but for the most part as long as you're loyal to me, then I'm quite willing to be just as loyal to you. After all, people don't get through these alone.


- 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?

As much as this may seen contradictory to me saying you don't get through these games alone, there is ultimately one winner, and you have to try to play for yourself as well. Sometimes you have to play to get your alliance further, and if the payoff to you sticking your arm out is worth the risk of getting it chopped off, then go for it. People just have to remember that you can't play and try to help your alliance get further if you've been voted out.



Interaction:

- 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 can kind of see why some people like to do them all the time, but aside from the obvious times that are expected in All-Star games, I don't really go for the "let's join together and kick everybody's ass" thing. The only times I've ever really done it that I can think of were a Vanuatu game last year, and a Big Brother game from years back, that a friend asked me to join as a personal favour.

Either way, I learned a bunch of hard lessons on why not to judge people and make mistakes by viewing people off of pre-conceived notions and things outside of that particular game. That's a mistake I plan to not make as much as humanly possible.



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

I'll most likely ask around a little bit about it, and if it's bad, discuss it privately. As much as I may sometimes want to ignore something completely, I tend to want to at least know just in case. That being said, I won't likely make the mistake of flipping out in public about it unless it's something really really bad.


Competitions:

- Do you believe in throwing competitions? Why or why not?

I believe that there's a time and place for everything, and while I rarely do it, if it helps to keep the target or the heat off of you then it can be worth the risk. For instance, as HOH it can sometimes be worth it to throw the POV, but as a nominee it can be seen as incredibly stupid to do so.


Final Comments:

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

Just that when I'm in a game, I put my all into it and keep as active as I can. I may get frustrated by happenings in the game, but I'll never wind up inactive over anything.
