Mecole Hayes

Mecole Hayes was a houseguest on Big Brother 25 (US).

Primarily preferring to lay low, Mecole was an extremely quiet character for her time in the game, save for several rants in the house's storage room. Nominated by Week 9's Head of Household Cameron Hardin, she was targeted for what was assumed to be her playing a floater game appealing to the jury. She would be evicted by a vote of 7-0 at the end of the week, placing 10th.

How does it feel to be on the 25th season of Big Brother?
I am so excited to be on the iconic BB 25th season. I'm excited for all of the twists and turns. I'm sure we're going to see some things from the past and maybe some things from the future pop up. So I'm really excited for what's to come. I have no idea what Big Brother might have planned for its 25th season, but I am really excited to see what's in store.

What twists do you think are happening in Big Brother 25?
This season, I'm expecting a bunch of twists, a bunch of turns. Maybe some appearances from the most iconic players of the past. I don't know. Let's see what happens.

Why did you decide you wanted to play Big Brother?
Me wanting to play the Big Brother game is a combination of the fact of watching Xavier and Taylor walk away with a grand prize to show me that it is possible for African-American players to not only go far in this game, but to also win. I also got married, which is really expensive, so $750,000 doesn't sound too bad. And let's be honest. A one in 16 chance at $750,000, when else am I ever gonna have those odds in my life? If I'm gonna bet on anybody, I'm gonna bet on me.

What are your thoughts on Julie Chen Moonves as a host?
Julie and Big Brother are synonymous I don't think you can say one without the other. Not only is she an iconic host, but she's also beautiful. I mean, she's stunningly dressed every time you see her. She asks the best questions, and she just makes you feel like family. So I can't wait to meet her.

What is your strategy going into the game?
I'm gonna play this game like a politician. I'm going to shake your hand. I'm going to kiss your baby. I'm going to smell your face. And when you least expect it. I'm going to stab you in the back and take all your money.

What is your reaction to Big Brother 25 playing out into the fall?
Big Brother in the fall, I think is a totally different game. I mean, I don't know how far are we going, but Halloween is coming up. Thanksgiving is coming up. I think that changes the state of the game and the type of competitions we're going to play. So I'm excited to see how things unfold.

Why will you win Big Brother 25?
I'm gonna win this game because I am the full package. I'm a mixture of Tiffany, Xavier, Britney, Janelle, but a little bit of Tyra Banks.^[1]
