Pre-game questions

[shir]

Hey Russell!
Welcome to the final season before Allstars 2! Season 10 will have no surprises from us and will heavily revolve around the relationships everyone forms and the decisions made by the houseguests. We are very excited to have you play with us and just have a few questions before the game begins!

1. What would you say is your typical gameplay in your past ORG games? Do you usually play with your heart, play strategically, socially...?

2. What's the most important factor to you in this game? Are you in here to win, have fun, make AS2, make jury? 

3. If you've already started on your social game, who do you see yourself working with long term? Who do you see yourself butting heads with? 

4. What do you foresee being your biggest obstacle? Are you a good competitor? Do you struggle or excel socially? How easily do people trust you? How loyal are you?

That's all for now! 

Thanks so much for playing and looking forward to reading your Diary Room entries!

1. What would you say is your typical gameplay in your past ORG games? Do you usually play with your heart, play strategically, socially...?

I play strategically. Always. The only times I have ever played emotionally (because I was laying as emotionally driven characters), I was terrible and was voted out pre merge. So I tend to think with my head and not with my heart. This gets me into a lot of trouble as sometimes it leads to me being seen as cold or not super social enough.

2. What's the most important factor to you in this game? Are you in here to win, have fun, make AS2, make jury?

I would never play a game not to win. That is always my goal. I love the game of Big Brother(and Survivor) and respect it too much to not want to win. I get annoyed with people that that play like trolls and always get voted out early. I'm also definitely not trying to make long term friends. I know that will offend some people but I don't play games a lot anymore, so I;m just here to play the game and have fun, but I don't expect to be close friends with people after this, like it seems so many ORG players tend to do. So overall, I want to win, and if I were to make it to AllStars, that would be the icing on the cake.


3. If you've already started on your social game, who do you see yourself working with long term? Who do you see yourself butting heads with?

I am getting into this game a day late. I'm sure there are many alliances that have already been formed and none of them involve me. For some reason when I checked in last night I couldn't see the challenge, so i didn't realize things had started like that, and worked today so I'm just starting to try and chat people up now. So, I truly don't know who I am going to end up with but just looking at the characters I would maybe try to do a guys alliance thing with Jeff and Casey

4. What do you foresee being your biggest obstacle? Are you a good competitor? Do you struggle or excel socially? How easily do people trust you? How loyal are you?

My biggest obstacle might be the fact that I tend to work a lot and at odd hours sometimes, so I might not always be around to chat with people all day, so endurance comps are definitely never my thing. Aside from that I would say I'm an above average challenge competitor. Socially, same thing. I always make sure to be in contact with everyone but I am not the type to sit on AIM all day knowing all about your life so sometimes people see that as bad social gameplay because they let their feeling get involved. I definitely think I'm good at getting people to trust me and that's what I'm going to have to do if I;m going to be playing catch up as it looks I am going to be. As far as loyalty goes, it changes from game to game, depending on how I feel about my relationships with people. Usually I try to make one super strong relationship with one person and stay loyal to them and anyone else I will backstab if need be.
