Why did you apply to be on the show?
“I’ve been in the UK for some time, and I just really wanted to challenge myself. And I know that Big Brother is like a big part of British history at this point. So, to be a part of that is so amazing. I just really wanted to challenge myself. I want to be immersed in the British culture.”
What will you bring to the house?
“I think that personality wise, I am a person that is very open to meeting people. I love meeting new people. I love talking with people. But I think that I do a good job operating as a mirror for people and saying the things that people are afraid to say. I consider myself to be a really good judge of character and to be very direct with people. And I think that people will see that in my personality. I’m not afraid of confrontation. I go into every situation hoping for the best, but I don’t shy away from confrontation.”
Do you have a strategy for making it to the final?
“Oh yes, I do. To just be myself, unapologetically. If they like it, I think that’ll be amazing. If they don’t, then it just is what it is. But, you know, just to 100% go through it and be myself and just react to situations how I would react to them in my everyday life. Unfiltered.”
Why might someone nominate you?
“It’ll probably be because I said something – that I addressed the elephant in the room, but it’ll be dressed up like, ‘you know, she left the top off the toothpaste’. I’m sure it’ll be something along those lines.”
What would you do with the prize money?
“I would start an alopecia line of hair care. I suffer from alopecia. It’s something that happened to me when I was in my 30s. So, I would love to do that. I don’t feel like there’s really a market or brand that caters to those people as far as making really funky headpieces and stuff like that. And so, I would love to do that.”
