Retrieved from bigbrothercanada.ca Age: 48 Pronouns: He/Him Zodiac: Aquarius Hometown: Toronto, Ont. Occupation: Textile Designer Relationship Status: Partnered Why do you think you were selected to be on BBCAN12?
I think my very authentic and enthusiastic energy, and clear passion for this game secured my spot. It’s equally important for me to create the space for elder queers to feel like they can get on the show without age being a concern. What is your strategy going into the house?
Using my social skills. I want to create a multilayer grouping of people who are seen as “floaters” (ideally queer) to weaponize all information. I will also downplay how much of a superfan I am. What aspect of your personality do you think will shine the most?
My gregarious nature. What strengths do you bring that will help you in POV/HOH challenges?
My discipline, resourcefulness, and enthusiasm will help me in challenges. What part of the Big Brother Canada experience are you most excited for?
Being thrust into an unknown situation and having to deal with it using experiences I’ve had thus far. What part of the Big Brother Canada experience do you think will be the hardest for you?
I think being constantly "on" will be exhausting but not impossible. Finding time and space to replenish the social energy will be important and I would do this through meditation. What’s the first thing you would buy with the grand prize winnings?
A trip overseas to Scotland and Portugal for my partner and myself. What legacy do you hope to leave behind after your time on BBCAN12?
I want to be remembered as someone who played without prioritizing their post-game online persona. Someone who wanted to play the game and was genuinely happy to be there.
