I hear (more so last year then this year) soooo much houseguest bashing for the way the play the game.... 'stabbing a friend in the back" was the theme here last year. Dishonest.. liar.. controller.. you know all the rest people bash hg's for.

Just wondering IF you were in the BB house - how would YOU play it....? What strategy?

Personally for me - and I've said this before I wouldnt go in the BB house to make friggen friends - I'd lay that out the first few days - I am a friendly person and we may end up liking each other but I'm here to play this game. (Would say this just once if they don't remember it that's their issue NOT mine) I'd play more along the lines of Roddy - which is basically just being myself...controlling and manipulative.. but in a NICER way.. it can be done trust me LOL.

I'd play a little more under the radar then most this year are playing but not as low as Jason..

I'd go out of my way not to make any enemies and LISTEN to what gets other HG's in trouble and avoid doing those things... I'd form one strong quiet alliance with 1 or 2 people (like Dani/Jason did...but perhaps with one more)

You?

Hmmmm....

Hard to say how I would play differently since I think it has to be played in whatever way a person's personality works it out.

I agree with you, I would keep my eye on the goal. This is not about friendships. It is about winning the money. Forget friends, forget romance, forget love, forget sex...I would aim at the money. Let the others live in fantasyland.

I am not sure I would make an early alliance, but neither would I float freely for too long. I think I might wait until about this point in the show to set an alliance -- see who is doing what to whom.

Like you, I also would play under the radar. Be the nice guy, enjoyable to be with, but not taking a lead...too early. But, once it was down to a few, I would make a move to exert myself in some way.

I also would play this as staying in from week to week -- not spending a lot of time on the end game -- again, until the numbers were whittled way down.

The one thing I would NOT do is become a source of irritation to the entire group and any large portion of the group. In two BB's where the HG's voted out the guests, The first to go was someone whom some self-proclaimed leadership group decided to get rid of. But after that, it became whomever was most annoying to the house.

I would play it like Jason or Roddy.

i would want to play it unemotionally, strategically and surgically, but since i know myself well enough to know i'd get sidetracked by emotions, i'll sit this one out and pontificate from the privacy of my own house.

No giving of your word or forcing your word allowed period! That whole aspect of the game is out of control this year. I don't remember the HOH having so much control over the voting in the past BBs. You nominiate who you want to nominate and leave it up to chance (while also feeling which way the wind blows, that is). I guess that's how I want everyone to play, so not exactly answering the question here.

I'd lie low. Try not to win any competitions (accept team orientated ones...well maybe I'd throw the food comps (of course not letting my team know)). Never whine and complain about anything, whether its PB&J, someone using my deordorant, or whatever. If I hear of complaints, I'd quickly adjust without letting on it was because of the complaints. Act like nothing fazes me. I'd take care of cleaning, checking the pool, cooking, etc. Mainly to stave off boredom. I would not hook up into a couples relationship (let's just p*ss kerosene on the fire why don't we). I think trying to build alliances for 3 months is riduculous, eventually everybody will be nominated even if in the F2. So I'd work on week to week survival, knowing my promises mean nothing (I'm throwing the comps). Take my chances. However, I'd probably tick off enough people unknowingly and be booted out before week 4.

I'd go in and disguise myself as the soap dispenser...and no one would notice me til the game was almost over!
