00:00
To start, tell us a little bit about yourself.
00:06
Give us your name, where you're from, and what you do.
00:10
My name is Vince. I'm 34 years old.
00:12
I was born and raised in Los Angeles, and I'm currently unemployed.
00:17
What's your reaction to getting to play Big Brother?
00:22
I am so excited. It hasn't hit me. It doesn't feel real yet.
00:26
I am a massive fan of Big Brother.
00:29
I've been watching since season 16, and I started watching the live feeds in season 18,
00:34
and this all just doesn't feel real yet.
00:37
I'm trying to keep my feet on planet Earth.
00:40
I'm trying to keep my head out of the clouds, and I'm trying to take it in
00:44
and just absorb all of this as much as I can until it hits me that it's real.
00:52
It feels surreal being a houseguess on Big Brother this season.
00:57
Again, it hasn't really hit me yet.
01:00
I know that no matter what strategy you have coming into this,
01:04
it could go out the window immediately, so it just is excitement, anxiousness.
01:11
I've just sweat through my deodorant thinking about it.
01:15
I am just ready to go. I'm eager.
01:18
I've been waiting a very long time for this opportunity.
01:20
I think my strategy coming into the Big Brother house is to compartmentalize this game
01:30
down into weekly mini-games of Big Brother.
01:34
I want to view every single individual week as its own mini-game of Big Brother,
01:39
and all I need to do for those weeks is survive it one at a time
01:44
and slowly take one step at a time.
01:47
You can't say you're going to win the World Series
01:48
without winning enough games to get to the playoffs,
01:51
so I have to win the individual days, individual conversations, weeks,
01:55
whatever that may be, take it one week at a time,
01:58
and adapt, and wing it, and then adapt, wing it, adapt.
02:03
It's the wah-wah technique.
02:04
You just wing, adapt, wing, adapt.
02:06
That's what I've got to do.
02:08
Why will you win Big Brother?
02:11
I will be the one to win Big Brother
02:13
because I think I naturally have the perfect formula of what it takes.
02:19
I like to call myself a master of none.
02:22
I'm not really the best at anything,
02:24
but I'm pretty dang good at almost everything,
02:27
so I don't think I'll be...
02:28
I mean, I clearly won't be a physical threat.
02:31
I think I'll be social enough to be able to make the genuine connections.
02:35
That is the foundation of strategizing.
02:39
And I think I'm athletic enough to compete with the best of them when I need to.
02:43
And I think if you can do all of those cohesively,
02:45
you'll be in good shape.
02:48
What are your biggest strengths?
02:50
I would say my strengths are having empathy,
02:55
which is important in the Big Brother house.
02:58
My communication skills.
03:00
I think my self-awareness.
03:02
I like to think I'm self-aware,
03:03
which is a surprising amount of people...
03:07
Something that a surprising amount of people don't have
03:09
as much as they should, I'll say.
03:11
And again, also in the Big Brother house,
03:14
self-awareness is huge
03:15
because you don't want to be too obviously obnoxious
03:18
or rubbing people the wrong way,
03:20
especially early on.
03:21
The first impressions are huge.
03:23
So yeah, I think empathetic.
03:26
I'm very competitive.
03:28
I'm very, very much a one-track mind person.
03:31
If I set my mind to something,
03:32
I'm going to go at it 120%.
03:35
And yeah, hopefully all of those
03:38
make for a pretty successful season.
03:42
We'll see.
03:43
What are your biggest weaknesses?
03:46
I know I said one of my strengths was my self-awareness.
03:48
So I'm going to do my best,
03:49
but a weakness could be if I get too excited,
03:52
if I get too riled up,
03:53
maybe I might say the wrong thing.
03:55
I'm going to try not to.
03:56
I'm going to try to be mindful of that self-awareness.
03:59
And my competitiveness.
04:00
I don't want to, I'm not a poor sport,
04:02
but I don't want to get too riled up
04:04
if I'm not doing as well as I expect myself to do.
04:09
Do you plan on keeping any secrets about yourself
04:12
from the other house guests?
04:14
I don't know if there's any secrets
04:16
because here's the thing.
04:17
I don't want to have any lie
04:22
where I have to hold onto it
04:24
for an entire three-month period
04:27
because I don't know if I'm going to forget.
04:29
Like, I don't want to lie about my age.
04:31
Even though I look maybe a little younger than I am,
04:33
I don't want to say I'm younger
04:34
because then maybe we're talking about
04:36
my high school graduation year
04:37
and I say, oh, nine.
04:39
And people are like, that doesn't make sense.
04:40
That's pointless.
04:41
I've thought about, should I not say I'm unemployed?
04:43
Because they'll say, that's weird.
04:44
Why would a 34-year-old not be employed?
04:46
Maybe he's a trust fund kid
04:48
or maybe he's a, I don't know,
04:51
already successful or something
04:53
or he's lying about, I don't know.
04:54
I've overthought anything.
04:56
There's not going to be any secrets that I'm going to keep.
04:58
How will you crush your enemies?
05:01
I will crush my enemies before they crush me
05:05
by having the self-awareness of reading people.
05:09
I really think I am good at reading people.
05:11
And I know a lot of people probably say that
05:13
coming into the Big Brother house.
05:14
But I really think I have a hyper-awareness
05:18
of how people are portraying themselves
05:23
or how people are acting towards me.
05:26
I think I'm hyper-vigilant on those verbal
05:30
and non-verbal cues of how their demeanor is.
05:34
So I think I'm going to be able to figure out
05:37
who might not be on my side.
05:39
And then I will rally the troops to get rid of them
05:43
before they get rid of me.
05:44
And that is how I will crush my enemies.
05:47
What are you bringing to the show
05:49
that nobody has seen before?
05:52
You'll never see anybody more genuine than Vince.
05:55
That's who I am.
05:56
That's something that I think I bring to the table.
05:59
I am a genuine human being.
06:01
And I can't fake that.
06:04
I think I have what it takes to win Big Brother
06:06
because I just have the perfect formula.
06:08
Again, it's who I am.
06:10
It's just in my core.
06:11
I have the social skills and the physical athleticism
06:14
to compete with the best of them
06:18
without ever actually looking like a massive threat.
06:22
What makes Big Brother such a successful show
06:25
after 25 years?
06:27
So this is a huge season
06:29
because Big Brother is celebrating their 25th anniversary.
06:33
And I think what makes Big Brother so unique
06:35
and have such a loyal following
06:38
is the uniqueness of it.
06:40
It's one of the longest reality competition shows,
06:44
meaning it's three months
06:46
rather than just a couple weeks.
06:48
There's live feeds.
06:49
It's on 24-7.
06:51
So there's going to be something happening at all times
06:54
where, you know,
06:55
the fans of the show can watch and enjoy.
06:57
Um, there's a lot of unique elements to it
07:00
that just...
07:01
Changing the themes each season,
07:04
you know,
07:04
keeping the beloved competitions
07:07
but adding in new competitions.
07:09
It's always fresh.
07:11
It's always new.
07:12
But it also keeps true to who it is at its core.
07:17
And that is Big Brother.
07:20
What's your strategy going into the game?
07:23
My strategy for the Big Brother house,
07:25
I don't even know what I'm doing on planet Earth,
07:26
let alone know what I'm going to do
07:28
in the Big Brother house.
07:29
So that's where I have to wing it
07:30
and I have to adapt.
07:32
That's all I can do.
07:32
Just got to do my best.
07:34
Tell us a little bit about your life
07:36
in the outside world
07:37
and how that has prepared you for Big Brother.
07:41
I don't want to sound too lost in life
07:42
because I should have...
07:43
I know I should have things figured out by my 30s,
07:46
but I don't really have a set long-term career path
07:51
that I've been like...
07:52
that I found that I've been so passionate about.
07:55
So I've had a lot of different jobs
07:57
throughout my adult life.
07:59
So I don't even like associate myself with like,
08:02
I am a this
08:04
or I formerly work long-term or regularly as this.
08:08
I'm trying to figure out what the next thing is.
08:10
I do have a...
08:11
One of my hobbies is photography
08:13
and I would love to one day have a career
08:16
in maybe like sports photography
08:18
or something along those lines.
08:20
I think that would be a lot of fun.
08:22
My main goal is I just want to have...
08:24
I want to enjoy what I do.
08:25
That's my biggest thing.
08:26
I know what I don't want to do.
08:29
I've had enough jobs to know what I don't want to do,
08:31
but I'm just trying to narrow it down
08:33
and land what I do want to do.
08:36
So all in due time.
08:38
I'm not comparing myself to others.
08:40
I'm not going to stress myself out too hard.
