Ian Patrick Terry is the winner of Big Brother 14 (US), who also appeared on Big Brother 22 (US).

In BB14, Ian was a member of Team Boogie. Despite immediately becoming the first HOH Willie Hantz’s target. He was saved when his coach Mike Malin won the Coaches Competition and saved him. Following the reset, he joined the dominant The Quack Pack alliance. With a particularly strong bond with Britney Haynes. Ian proved to be a big competition threat winning 4 HOHs and 2 POVs. Ultimately, Ian won by a vote of 6-1 against Dan Gheesling.

Ian returned to BB22 as one of two previous winners. While HoH Memphis Garrett wanted to nominate him in week 2 for being a threat, he was saved when Christmas won the safety competition and included him as her plus 1. In week 6, HoH Daniele Briones nominated Ian as a pawn initially against her ally-turned-target Tyler Crispen, but Tyler's alliance, The Committee (which also included Dani), wanted to keep Tyler. As a result, it was pitched that Ian should be evicted instead due to his huge threat level, with Dani eventually agreeing that Ian needed to go. He developed a friendship with Da'Vonne Rogers, Nicole Anthony, and particularly Nicole Franzel. Ian was evicted that week by a vote of 5-3, placing 11th and becoming the first member of the jury.

Biography

Ian Terry Biography

BB14 BB22 Retrieved from CBS.com Age: 21 Hometown: Pittsburgh, Pa. (living in New Orleans, La.) Occupation: Engineering Student at Tulane University Three adjectives that describe you: Intelligent, eccentric and analytical. Favorite Activities: I really enjoy biking whenever I get the chance. A grueling bike ride is excellent. Most difficult part about living inside the Big Brother house: Being disconnected from sports, family, friends, internet and TV. Strategy for winning “Big Brother:” I want to make an alliance with about six people and I'd like to be seen as maybe the fourth strongest in the group, that way it wouldn't be me going up if the other side gained the power. Which past Big Brother cast member did you like most or least: My all-time favorite has to be Dr. Will from BB2/BB7. He played the game with absolute finesse both times, and as a 10-year-old watching BB2, I definitely would say I idolized him back then. What are you afraid of: I'm definitely afraid of venomous snakes and any large, deadly animals, simply because they're extremely dangerous. I also have a real fear of vomiting because it's really painful and a fear of drowning since I feel like it'd be one of the worst ways to die. What is the accomplishment you are most proud of: My proudest accomplishment so far in life is going to Tulane, far away from my family and old friends, studying the hardest major I could possibly take, and surviving it for three years. Finish this sentence: My life’s motto is… I came here to kick butt and chew bubblegum, but I'm all out of bubblegum. What would you take into the house and why: My collection of glasses: I have these glasses that can go with everything I wear. A picture of my family: I definitely will really miss them. My guitar: I recently picked up guitar and feel it's an awesome way to relieve stress. Also, it does get me a fair amount of attention from girls. What would you do if “Big Brother” made you famous: I'd try to live my life normally again. I don't really have any intentions of going into acting or anything like that. I'd probably just try to go back to Chemical Engineering and do what I've always wanted to do. Retrieved from CBS Age: 29 Hometown: Pittsburgh Current city: Houston Occupation: Management consultant Previous season: Big Brother 14 (winner) Three adjectives that describe you: Eccentric, intelligent,and inquisitive. Favorite activities: I enjoy backgammon, running, technical analysis, reading, math puzzles, and studying maps. Why do you want to play Big Brother again? I'm a generally good games player, so if there's a game being played for money where I have positive equity, I want in! What do you think will be the most difficult part about living inside the Big Brother house? Not being able to talk to or see my girlfriend, friends and family, as well as having to play politics 24/7. Which past Big Brother cast member did you like most and why? I like Johnny Mac from Big Brother 17. I loved his passive, relaxed, and intelligent playing style. Additionally, he is a hoot in real life! What is your strategy for winning the game? I want to get into a decent alliance and try to win the first HOH, just to make sure I don't get frozen out for being unpopular. Following that, hibernate. Towards the end of the game, I will ramp up and utilize my competition ability and take advantage of the game's structure. How does this strategy differ from the last time you played? I'm definitely going to pepper in stronger tactical play to ensure that others are more willing to work with me. Last time, nobody in the house was giving me good information, simply because I was socially unpopular—frustrating! Have you changed/evolved since the last time you were on the show? I'm much more mature and readily able to navigate social situations. Working as a physics teacher for a handful of years taught me a lot about building connections with others. My life's motto is… "The pause is a part of the walk." What would you take into the house and why? -My backgammon board. I saw that the house had one last year, but the one I have is top of the line. -A few packs of cigarettes. I don't smoke… in fact, I don't see the appeal to it at all. That being said, I'd like to use these to forge bonds with those that like to casually smoke but didn't bring any for themselves. -My pet dinosaur Isaac. He's funny and reminds me of my girlfriend and I's quirky relationship. Fun facts about yourself: -I'm a championship level backgammon player and have earned a rating of "Master" on the most popular backgammon site on the web. -I was given a letter of recognition from MIT for being an inspiring physics teacher when that was my day job. -My girlfriend and I refer to a dinosaur puppet named Isaac as our pet. He even has his own backstory and personality. -I once attempted to memorize and label a map of every county in the United States for a bet. I got through memorizing the counties in four large states with perfect accuracy before getting bored and buying out of the bet. -I'm a card-carrying member of Mensa, which I joined after taking an IQ test to settle a bet (yes, I won the bet).
