Default If You were on BBUSA what would be your strategy

Mine would be this

I would have some gameplan situations already planned out (IE Throw the first HOH unless i had a feeling that i am a target, switch sides if i had a feeling that someone was going to backstab me if I am in a power position, I would always use the POV just to stir up the house if the hoh is my enemy.)

In the Diary Room if i made it past the jury cut. I would truthfully tell the evicted hg if i voted to evict them or not and why i did and also tell them what i really thought about them.

And In the final 3 if i was HOH i would evict the person that i think i can beat in the final 2 and then ask the Jury to vote for whomever they thought played the better game and not mention that i played a better game than anyone on the jury.

Basically Dr. Will's though I would probably end up failing and end up Keithing my way out of the show in the first week

Go into alliance with 4 or 5 people who are stronger than me at the start, so if the other side wins HoH they will target the stronger people in my alliance

However will also make my alliance believe I am valuable for them so hopefully they win HoH for me so I dont have to and Ill be safe

Then if I survive a few weeks by throwing HoH's, I will try and win them and POV, alling myself with one person for final 2, and make them do all the dirty work for me so they piss the jury off and the jury vote for me

Hmm, I don't think you can really form a solid strategy until you know the types of people you're playing against. For example, in a house like BB6 you'd have a completely different strategy compared to a house like BB3's.

As a general strategy though I'd lay low, develop good personal relationships with people and probably play more of an advising role than an aggressive role. I'd make big moves only when I feel either someone has too much power or when I feel it would benefit me.

I'd be myself and not worry much about strategy... just try to stay as long as possible and make my mark.

I would play exactly like how Russell Hantz played in Samoa and I would win. In BB they always vote for the best player.

If i was on BBUSA i'd be like the gay Parvati. I'd be the fun gay guy on the outside, but behind the scenes, i'd be building an army of fag hags and push the whole girl power thing.

I'd be a cross between Todd from Survivor China, and Parvati from Fans vs. Favs.

Develop personal relationships, not win many challenges unless I felt I needed too. I wouldn't go around gossiping or bad mouthing people, but not be overly nice to everybody. I would evict the people who the majority were going for and then keep the weak people and vote out the strong. But I agree with James, it's hard to tell unless you're in there and know the house and the contestants.

A bit like Dan, make off as a weaker HG, float through the first several weeks and go all out near the end, i'd make deals rather than align with people depending on the stage of the game

LOL, My goal would to win basically nothing, and be in a alliance with strong members, and only try in the Vetos to show i could win competitions. Without question i would throw the first 3 HOH's.

I would be nice but I wouldn't be afraid to backstab my alliance members.

My Goodbye Message:

Hey _______, If Ur watching this right now then You've been evicted from the house at my hands. You are a nice person but I felt that in the last few weeks. You've haven't been 100% true to our alliance. So I had a talk with everyone in the alliance and they agreed to let me put you up. The blood is on my hands and not anyone elses. Anyway I hope that we can become good friends on the outside world. Bye.

I've actually thought a lot about this. I think I'd do a lot of different things.

I'd definitely do my best to set up a Jason/Danielle BB3 type situation, i.e., a secret alliance with 1 person throughout the whole game that no one suspected. My secret alliance partner and I would work opposite sides of the house just like they did.

I'd also throw challenges for at least the first 3 weeks so as not to appear too strong, and build an externally visible alliance of 3-4 other people. Once I got to final 7 or so I would drop the "weak" veneer and start kicking butt in competitions.

The main part of my strategy, though, would be basic groundwork: forming good personal relationships with most people in the house (though not EVERYONE, which would make people think I was playing all sides), tell lies only when they're strategically necessary, only make promises I could keep, avoid MAJOR arguments/confrontations (though have some smaller ones), and use the power of suggestion/reverse psychology as much as I could so I could escape blame for moves when they occur but take credit for them later.

Of course, I have a huge weakness for big flashy moves, so halfway through the game I'd probably go wild and shank one of my allies in the back in return for a ridiculous and probably soon-to-be-broken deal with one of my enemies, but I'd make sure it appeared strategic.

Above all, if I made it to the end, I would be honest about my lying and manipulation at the jury roundtable. I also wouldn't take any crap from the jury, a la the Donatos in BB8. It would be a blast.

I'm also not really the type of person CBS would cast though, plus I don't know whether I could handle 10 weeks living in a house with people I would probably think were nutjobs

Though I may well do so in the future!

I can be pretty introverted at times, though other times I'm the most outgoing person in the room. My big problem is that I'm constantly singing (seriously). I would find it SO hard to not sing in the house, probably to the point where I might even get kicked out.

Survivor's probably the reality show for me. I could even apply for the upcoming seasons, because I'm 19 years old.

They don't want to cut LF unless absolutely necessary because that screws with people who paid for LF. Also, it might mess with their show footage if you're singing during something they might want to air. I gather from interviews past HGs gave that BB takes it pretty seriously.

I know, I expect them to still say stop it etc. but they stil shut off the feeds whenever they talked about someone not in the house without signing papers

Hate to say this but floating is probably the best strategy at least in the beginning. That, or allying yourself with people who carry you to victory. Just look at who made it to the final 3 in the past 4 or 5 seasons.

Adam and Porsche made it to the final 3 when they coasted for most of the season. The Brigade made final 3 but really only began winning contests when there were 6 people left in the house. Kevin, Jordan, and Natalie made final 3 after winning squat for most of the season.

As Rachel said on the feeds this season, the only way to play this game is to do nothing. Which sucks and which is why more and more people aren't trying to play the game in the very beginning. And Rachel is, to my knowledge, really the only person in recent years to make it to the end and win without laying low.
