00:02 - I wanna go into this playing the game
00:06 that I personally love to watch.
00:08 So I'm gonna be in here lying, backstabbing
00:11 and blindsiding whoever I can, whenever I get the chance.
00:16 I plan to stay low at the beginning,
00:19 just because I feel like that strategy
00:21 has worked for past players,
00:22 but I'm definitely just gonna be the sweet,
00:25 bubbly, charismatic person
00:27 and try to get to know everybody and be genuine with them.
00:29 And then lie to whoever I need to.
00:32 I don't mind.
00:33 I'm gonna do whatever it takes to win the game.
00:36 - My strategy going into the game is lying about my job
00:39 so they don't know I'm a strategist,
00:41 winning the competitions and playing a mean social game.
00:45 - I think part of my strategy is gonna make sure
00:47 I get into some bigger lines
00:49 as with some smaller ones as well.
00:50 Obviously this is a numbers game at the start,
00:53 only the start.
00:54 So yeah, I mean, it's about votes.
00:57 So it's what you gotta do.
00:59 - Strategy going into the Big Brother game
01:01 is not to win too many competitions,
01:03 definitely not to win any soon.
01:05 Not to lay too low as if I'm a floater,
01:09 but to be right down the middle.
01:10 I wanna build connections with people
01:12 and drive relationships forward.
01:14 - You know, my strategy going into the game
01:16 is pretty straightforward.
01:18 I'm going to try to lower my threat level as much as I can.
01:22 That being said, try to win the first HOH.
01:24 If it doesn't happen, I'm entering full.
01:27 I'm a child.
01:28 Help, leave me, what do I do?
01:30 Where do I go?
01:31 I don't know how to do laundry.
01:32 Do you know how to fold a shirt?
01:33 Once I enter that mode,
01:34 I think people will start looking at me
01:36 as someone they can bring along
01:38 as opposed to someone who's going to be this massive force
01:41 they need to oppose.
01:42 - My strategy is to one, be my authentic Felicia,
01:45 build trust, and then from there,
01:48 wherever the game takes me, it takes me.
01:50 - My strategy for the Big Brother game
01:53 is to find someone who's conscientious
01:55 and agreeable to be my ride or die.
01:58 I want them to be someone who is good
02:00 at keeping their emotions in check
02:02 and someone who's intelligent
02:04 and sort of maneuvering strategically.
02:06 Then the two of us will sort of maneuver
02:09 to create two factioning groups
02:12 that basically get split
02:13 while we sort of live in the middle
02:16 and then are able to sway the vote
02:18 based upon the dynamics of what is happening.
02:21 - As a musician outside the house,
02:23 I think it's really important for my game inside the house
02:25 to crescendo.
02:26 I want to start low and just observe people
02:29 and fit in socially.
02:31 And then towards the end,
02:32 I can turn on that comp beast and win
02:35 and no one will see it coming.
02:36 - Playing a social game, which is important for me,
02:39 winning competitions when I need to,
02:41 I'm not afraid to get blood on my hands.
02:43 And the biggest thing is in being social
02:46 and sort of being like, you know,
02:48 I usually have this personality as the jokester,
02:50 just, you know, I'm just super social with other people.
02:52 I have charisma and stuff.
02:54 I want people to think that I'm airheaded
02:56 or don't really know what's going on,
02:58 but really I'm a secret genius
03:01 and I want to keep that under the wraps
03:03 so that people don't know
03:04 and they don't think that it's smart to get me out.
03:07 But once they're out, it's going to be too late.
03:09 And once they realize that I was, you know,
03:11 playing everything behind the scenes,
03:13 they'll only have Julie Chen Moonves
03:15 to talk about it with.
03:17 - My strategy for the game is to be fluid,
03:19 be like water, respect and accept all walks of life
03:23 and try not to make such a presence for yourself
03:26 until it's needed.
03:28 - My strategy going into Big Brother
03:29 is aligning with the strong people right off the bat.
03:32 I need a strong alliance out of the gate
03:34 and we're going to steamroll the other alliances.
03:37 - So my strategy going into the Big Brother game
03:39 is to be the friendly guy, the lovable guy, you know,
03:43 maybe I'm a little dense, maybe I'm a bit of a himbo,
03:46 but behind that persona, there's a bit of cunning,
03:49 there's a bit of planning,
03:50 there's something going in there
03:52 where I need to really be on my toes at all times,
03:55 because even though we'll all be friends
03:57 and I'm very genuine in this regard,
03:59 there's going to be some backstabbing,
04:01 there's going to be some deceit.
04:02 This is a game of deceit, deception.
04:05 - My strategy has been going kind of back and forth.
04:07 There's a lot of ways I can go about this.
04:09 There's definitely a lot of plays you can do.
04:11 I think right now, my main focus is going to be
04:15 try to win the first HOH
04:18 so that people come to me to make the alliances
04:20 so I don't have to worry about that.
04:22 But I'm also, if I try and go for that,
04:25 don't burn too many bridges right away,
04:27 and kind of float a little bit,
04:29 but not too much where I'm not doing anything,
04:31 but I don't want to get in anyone's way to become a threat.
04:33 So I don't want to win every challenge I see possible.
04:36 So I'm going to have to hold myself back a little bit
04:38 on all those challenges I really want to win,
04:40 'cause then I'll make myself a threat right away.
04:43 - I'm going to play this game like a politician.
04:45 I'm going to shake your hand, I'm going to kiss your baby,
04:47 I'm going to smile in your face,
04:48 and when you least expect it,
04:49 I'm going to stab you in the back
04:50 and take all your money.
04:52 - I think my strategy going into the Big Brother game
04:54 is to develop a strategy as I go.
04:56 I don't think you can go in there with any one plan.
04:58 I mean, you can have plans A through Z,
05:01 but when you get in there, all that changes.
05:02 The beauty of Big Brother is that you expect the unexpected,
05:05 and if you can't adapt, you won't survive.
05:08 - I think my strategy going into this house
05:10 is just really going to be embracing
05:12 my situational awareness,
05:14 and just keeping my head on a swivel, staying on my toes,
05:17 because you really never know what to expect.
05:19 And I feel like when you make a plan to do something,
05:21 it oftentimes doesn't really turn out how it's supposed to.
05:25 So I think just adapting to whatever's happening
05:28 in front of me, it's ever-changing,
05:30 and not floating are going to be my two big,
05:35 key strategies here in the Big Brother house.
