Staff Questions

[Rhian Sugden]

Hello, housemate! It's your resident British Bombshell, here! It's my pleasure to welcome you to the newest edition of the series, Rise & Fall 8! After last season's crop of engaging, entertaining players, it's now your turn to follow up strong, and we know you won't disappoint. Now, 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 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. Looking over the Memory Wall, is there anyone that stands out to you at all? From first impression, who could you see yourself working with or against?

4. Do you think you have what it takes to become the winner of Big Brother: Rise & Fall 8? 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 Main Staff member and we'll try our best to promptly 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.

I selected Ryza because he was my favorite from the Aussie version. It was the first time I've seen a foreign Big Brother. I watched some of the UK version but didn't like it as much. Ryan was a chill dude and he seemed to have it together. You had personalities like Travis and Skye battling for attention where it then became too much to handle. I liked a lot of the contestants but Ryan was the one who had my full support. I think I'm similar to him in that I'm not the type of person who needs to be the center of attention. I won't be going around and stirring the pot without reason (looking at you Priya!). Kicking back and having a chat with people who I can mesh with is my way to play.

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?

No set strategies up this guy's sleeve! I'm new to all this (pray for me) and I don't want to overplay. I want to dip my toes in the pool before I get pushed off into the deep end not knowing how to swim! It's going to be a learn as I go ordeal. It's rough enough that Heaven was a challenge beast and won unanimously and was the one to put in word for me. I got some mighty big shoes to fill! I'm going to get to know these people one at a time and take it from there. If I get on with someone then right on! Maybe an alliance down the road. If I don't get along with someone then I'll try to send them a-packing!

3. Looking over the Memory Wall, is there anyone that stands out to you at all? From first impression, who could you see yourself working with or against?

Caleb, Donny, Hayden, Nicole and Victoria were all from BB16.. That's a chunk of the cast! I don't know some of these other faces. Monika, Nathan and Luisa are faces I've never seen before so that's cool I guess. They'll either make or break the character since they'll be leaving the first impression on me. I recognize some classics like Danielle Reyes and Chelsia Hart. But I am taking these at face value because I don't know them yet. For all I know this Danielle Reyes chick could play like Howie Gordon and be a nut job.

4. Do you think you have what it takes to become the winner of Big Brother: Rise & Fall 8? Tell us how much you're in it to win it to take the crown this season!

Ryza won BB Australia 2014 so it's only right that I win here too right!? Honestly speaking, I have my work cut out for me. I don't know a lot of how this works except the basics. I only have an idea of what I was told about with competitions and socializing. Easier said than done.. so we'll have to see how that goes for me. (sweating)I want to believe a new kid on the block can walk away with the big win but I need to keep some realism in the mix and realize it's going to be an uphill battle to the finish line. Here goes nothing.

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

Shed some love on this Sunshine Coast dude! Wish me luck!
