Staff Questions

[Rhian Sugden]

Hello, housemate! It's your resident British Bombshell, here! It's an absolute pleasure to welcome you to the newest season of Rise & Fall! Entering the second generation of this series, you have some mighty big shoes to fill, and we're hopeful that you won't disappoint. All of the past players want to get to know you and see what you're about, so, to get things going, it would be more than appreciated if you could answer the following questions to give us an idea on who you are and what you plan to accomplish during your stay in the Big Brother R&F house!

1. Why did you select your character? Did you like them from their respective season, do you play like them, or are they similar to you in some way? Explain.

2. Asking the all too repetitive question, do you have a set strategy coming into the game? What's your plan of attack as the game starts and you begin playing?

3. What do you expect to come from this season? Do you think there will be any twists? If so, what kind? Are you anticipating anything in particular to happen?

4. Do you think you have what it takes to become the winner of Big Brother: Rise & Fall 6? Tell us how much you're in it to win it to take the crown this season!

5. Anything else you'd like to add before your journey for the victory begins?

Thank you in advance for taking the time to answer these questions! If you have any further comments or concerns, please contact a Housecalls 1 member and we'll try our best to help you. Best of luck as you venture into the game!

1. Why did you select your character? Did you like them from their respective season, do you play like them, or are they similar to you in some way? Explain.


Although Lisa wasn't my first choice I would have to say I definitely connect with her and her style of play. I loved Lisa from season 3 and had it not been for Danielle being in the final two with her, I would have been rooting for her wholeheartedly to win. As it was, I was still rooting for her, but to a lesser extent because I knew the game Danielle had played. 

Lisa and I are the same in that challenge ability-wise it might take the rest of the houseguests giving me the competition (ala HOH #1) and a real fighting determination in the end, pending I make it that far (Final HOH). Social-wise I might need a big strong man to hide behind (ala Eric) and an extremely charming attitude from then on to keep myself mostly out of the lime-light but still visible enough to make an impression and state my case to the jury at the end.

I felt Lisa had a great balance to her game in season three. She rarely lied, if ever. She wasn't afraid to vote in the minority (not that I want too) and she let blindsides roll off her shoulders with an "As long as it isn't me, but I'm still shocked" expression (ala Marcellas).

I forget most of the order I put my picks but I do social butterfly so much better as a blonde, however, Lisa is an honorary blonde in my book so even if I'm no Michelle Maradie, I will definitely be social contender. *fingers-crossed* 


2. Asking the all too repetitive question, do you have a set strategy coming into the game? What's your plan of attack as the game starts and you begin playing?


I absolutely want to start the game on the right foot by immediately speaking with as many people as possible, without making any solid promises or deals. I am playing this game for the social experience because it has been a while since I have been interested enough to want to try. This cast looks amazing and the new faces (ones who aren't American, and some who are) will definitely stand out as interesting to me. I really cannot wait to get started. If I can, I want to let my social game sky-rocket me into a first HOH position. The responsibility will have my peers rushing too me and give me more of an opportunity to get to know everyone and get a good strong footing in the game if I make the right decision with nominations.


3. What do you expect to come from this season? Do you think there will be any twists? If so, what kind? Are you anticipating anything in particular to happen?


I feel like I am already anticipating a twist right from the get-go. I count 20 houseguests and that seems like a lot to start us out with as a whole group. So I am wondering if we aren't going to be split up into two groups of 10 with double eliminations until we are down to say 16 or 14. 

Or, there is more power when nominating or something about challenge performance or I don't know. It could be anything, but I expect something to happen quickly. It's hard to expect the unexpected so I'm just going to do my best to prepare for whatever may come.


4. Do you think you have what it takes to become the winner of Big Brother: Rise & Fall 6? Tell us how much you're in it to win it to take the crown this season!


I come into games like this with a glass half empty perspective. I don't come in expecting to win, but I do expect myself to bring my A game and try my best. It has been a while since I have had a burning fire to do well and I can already feel it inside so I am pumped. I want very much to be the winner and I do believe I am capable, but it's a long time from now. I do know I am going to be fighting hard, even if my fighting is subtle because I'm more calm and calculated than I am outgoing and spur of the moment.


5. Anything else you'd like to add before your journey for the victory begins?

I look forward to making the attempt at entertaining everyone watching. I am going to apologize in advance if I come off boring or arrogant or anything less than outrageously amazing because sometimes my personality just isn't a root-able one. I'm going to be me though, and there is nothing that will change that.
