00:00To start, tell us a little bit about yourself.
00:06Give us your name, where you're from, and what you do.
00:09Hey guys, what's up?
00:10I'm Morgan.
00:11I am a Palm Springs girl at heart, but I am located in Los Angeles, California, and I'm
00:16a model and gamer.
00:19What's your reaction to getting to play Big Brother?
00:22I mean, I'm not going to lie, I feel like I need to pinch myself because I'm actually
00:25in the diary room.
00:27Like hello, we all know the iconic diary room.
00:29It is very comfortable.
00:30I will have, you know, that's crazy.
00:34That is actually nuts.
00:35Wow.
00:36I can't wait to turn this house upside down.
00:39Oh, this would be so freaking cool.
00:41Y'all just wait.
00:42We're in for it.
00:43I'm going to come in here.
00:44Make sure you guys are ready.
00:46Bring your tea cups.
00:47I'm going to bring the hot and steaming tea.
00:49Serve it up.
00:50I hope you guys are ready for it.
00:52Why will you win Big Brother?
00:56I'm going to win Big Brother because these house guests are going to have no idea.
00:59that this gamer girl is here to rock their world.
01:02I'm keeping that secret because, hello, if I tell them that I'm a gamer, they're going
01:06to boot me right out.
01:07So I'm just going to keep this little model-esque persona to go on and hopefully sneak by and
01:14take the whole thing home.
01:15What are you bringing to the show that nobody has seen before?
01:19Well, I don't know if you guys have had a gamer girl yet.
01:22So I'm really excited to represent for the gamer girls out there.
01:25But I also just think that my just like natural bubbly personality is going to be really fun to see in the house.
01:31I'm a goofball and I'm a nerd.
01:34I mean, come on, like, I just think that's really fun.
01:36And I think last but not least, I'll probably bring my humor, which I think is hilarious.
01:42Maybe people like to laugh at me, but that's fine.
01:45I mean, as long as we're both laughing, right?
01:47Tell us a little bit about your life in the outside world and how that has prepared you for Big Brother.
01:53So I'm a former Division One track athlete.
01:57I was raised to be determined, to be strong-willed, to be resilient and to keep fighting no matter what.
02:04And I feel like Big Brother is that.
02:06Like, you have to keep fighting no matter if you're on the block.
02:09Even if you're HOH, we have seen people win HOHs and go home the next week.
02:13Like, it does not matter how high up you are.
02:16You can be at the bottom the next week.
02:17So no matter what, I'm going to come in, fight as long as I possibly can.
02:22And if I have to take some people down with me, I'm going to do it.
02:25What's your fan level with Big Brother?
02:28So I am not a super fan, but my mom loves Big Brother.
02:32Her and I had watched seasons five and six when I was in high school.
02:35That's going to age me a little bit, but it's okay.
02:37Proud to be 33, first of all.
02:40But I just want to do this for my family.
02:43They do everything for me.
02:45We do everything for each other.
02:46We're a very small-knit family, and I wouldn't be where I am without them.
02:49So I want to win this whole thing to be able to buy a house for my family
02:54and get them out of just what they've been fighting so hard to escape from,
02:59which is just, you know, not being able to own their own home or other things like that.
03:04There's just so much that I want to give to them.
03:06And I want to prove to myself that I can do this.
03:08Like I said, I've watched a couple seasons when I was growing up, thought it was cool.
03:13I mean, for me as an athlete, I'm like, oh, I see these comps.
03:16Like, get me out there in the wall comp.
03:17Get me out there in BB comics.
03:18Like, let me show these people that just because I'm not an athlete anymore
03:21doesn't mean I can't compete and win these games.
03:24What's your strategy going into the game?
03:27Okay, so strategy-wise, and before you guys come for me, hear me out.
03:30I am not going to come out guns blazing trying to win everything.
03:33As much as my competitive heart wants to do that,
03:35I have not seen a success story where someone just comes in and wins everything
03:39and wins the whole game.
03:40It would be nice if I could do that, but I honestly feel like, for me,
03:43creating the smallest amount of target is just going to be what's best for me.
03:47So I'm going to lean on my social game and just keep in my back pocket that I'm a gamer girl
03:53that has a lot of strategies coming their way.
03:55So I'll pull those out when I need to.
03:57What makes Big Brother such a successful show after 25 years?
04:02I think Big Brother has been such a success because just like they say,
04:06expect the unexpected.
04:08Every year, season after season, something's always been different.
04:12And I feel like from a viewer standpoint, that's something that we all look forward to.
04:17From the different house guests to just like the age range where everyone comes from.
04:21And I think the coolest part about Big Brother is they bring together people
04:25that would probably never hang out in real life and they end up bonding together
04:29or maybe not bonding, but they end up living under one roof and duking it out
04:34and seeing who is like the last one standing.
04:36So I think that's incredible.
04:37And I also feel like the fact that they pull in America to get their votes
04:42or to get their intake on things really allows for the viewer to just be engulfed in the season.
04:47And I think it's great.
04:48And hello, we have Julie Chen, the best host ever.
04:50Come on.
04:52How will you crush your enemies?
04:55I feel like I'm going to crush my enemies in the game through my social game.
04:59Now I'm a former division one track athletes.
05:01So I feel like naturally I'm competitive.
05:03I'm going to want to win every physical competition.
05:05But the whole thing of this game is not to win everything.
05:08It's to win when you have to.
05:10So I'm going to take that gamer knowledge and decide when I'm going to win
05:13and just rely on my social game to take me along the way.
05:16What are your biggest strengths?
05:18So Gamer Girl here, my main game is a first person shooter game.
05:25But I also love playing survival games.
05:28So for me, when it comes to my first person shooter games, I play a battle royale.
05:33And essentially that is the final team standing wins.
05:36So you have to decide what angles you're going to take.
05:38Maybe what transitions, what legends you're going to play.
05:42So for me, I'm going to take that into the house and decide when I'm going to pull out, you know, maybe what personality.
05:49Maybe I'm being a little flirty today or maybe I'm being a little devious today.
05:53Or maybe I'm just being, you know, myself, but we'll see.
05:56But I think being a gamer is going to be super helpful in the house to navigate, you know, what angle I want to take.
06:04What are your biggest weaknesses?
06:06I feel like the one thing I'm a little nervous about going to Big Brother house is I'm an empath.
06:11I feel for a lot of people and I feel like that is an easy way to, you know, be kind of like manipulated.
06:19But don't worry, guys.
06:21I'm an older sister and usually older sisters are the ones doing the manipulating to the little brothers.
06:25So I think I can handle it.
06:27Do you plan on keeping any secrets about yourself from the other house guests?
06:33So I'm not going to tell the house guests that I'm a gamer because I just feel like that's going to already create a huge target.
06:40I mean, come on, this is the best and biggest game that we all know.
06:43So if they find out that a gamer girl's in the house, they're going to get me right out.
06:47And I just can't have that happen.
06:49Would you be open for a showmance?
06:52Ooh, a showmance.
06:54I mean, look, I'm standing in front of like a bunch of books.
06:58If one of these books that I just so happened to read ends up being a book involved with a showmance, I'm kind of open for it.
07:04I mean, hey, what's the worst thing that could happen?
07:06I can look at a cute guy all summer.
07:08Doesn't seem so bad to me.
07:10Will you be more of a hero or a villain in the house?
07:14Oh, honestly, as much as I think villains are really cool, like one of my favorites is Scar.
07:19You know, he's just iconic.
07:21I honestly would love to be more of a hero girl.
07:24I mean, as much as I play games where I go against villains, there's something about like defeating a villain and being the hero that is just so worthwhile.
07:31So I feel like as much as I would love to be a villain, I feel like naturally I would love to be the hero.
07:37Why will you be the player to watch this season?
07:41I feel like I'll be the one to watch because I feel like people are not going to expect the fact that little Omi will actually be like the craziest gamer girl you've ever seen.
07:51Now, I know a lot of people are like, okay, big deal.
07:53Whatever you play games.
07:54Yeah, I don't just play games.
07:55I've competed in some of the biggest competitions against some of the biggest pros in the world.
08:00And I've stood my ground and hung with them.
08:02So not only have I competed against them, I've also competed alongside them.
08:06So I've taken a lot of tips and tools from the games that I play every day.
08:11Like I'm talking about I wake up.
08:13My PC is on.
08:14I am gaming till the sun down.
08:17Right.
08:18And I and I just take that into this game.
08:20And I feel like people are going to want to see what I can do and how I can pick up on little things that maybe some other house guests won't be able to.
08:27So listen, we all know big brother.
08:29You are gaming 24 seven.
08:31So I feel like I was like born and raised for this game.
08:34You could say, I mean, I'm a gamer who plays every single day all day long.
08:38Come on.
08:39This is made for me.
08:40What will be the easiest and hardest parts of being a house guest?
08:44Great question.
08:45I think the easiest part about being a house guest for me is just to like be myself.
08:51That's like my whole plan is just to go in and be myself naturally.
08:55And that's probably a silly answer, but that's just the only thing that feels right to me.
08:59And I feel like the hardest part is going to determine who's really with who, who's really with me more so and how I can navigate when to take those big moves.
09:10Because I feel like a lot of times people are very shy or timid to take big moves too early.
09:16To me, it is never too early to take a big move.
09:19What are some standout moments for you from the past 25 years of Big Brother?
09:25Um, I feel like a couple.
09:28One of them was when, um, Janelle won HOH and she told Jenny, um, give me that key.
09:36I loved that line.
09:38Um, only because she, if she didn't win that, she would have went home.
09:41And I just think like her resilience in the game was just incredible.
09:44And she was not afraid to let people know how she felt.
09:46And I admire that so much.
09:48To make sure that I'm getting inspired.
09:50So now you can have a berserkers product for you.
09:53Thank you so much.
09:54Thanks the gard series.
09:55Thanks.
09:56While we're doing this, I've been acting out.
09:57Thanks so much.
09:58Thanks so much.
09:59Thanks so much.
10:01Thanks for being here and to thank you.
