HOH ~ Jimmy Heagerty (25)

Current City: Washington, DC
Occupation: AI Consultant

Jimmy is an AI Consultant from DC, which I believe is the origin story of the person who invents the AI that eventually leads to our entire destruction.

I kid

But I will say, based on his entrance interview, I do like the kid. First, he claims to have watched the show since BB10, yet doesn’t use the term ‘super fan’, so that’s a huge plus. This means he has a grounded mentality of his position in the BB world. Most self-proclaimed super fans try way too hard too fast and it immediately bites them.

Second, he wants to join a big alliance but not form it. That’s easily the best way to make it through the chaotic early weeks. Then he wants to stick it out until it dwindles to 6-8. Also, obviously a good choice. However, he wants to form a few three-way alliances, which is asking for trouble. It’s not a bad idea to have a ride or die with you, who make up 2/3 of your little alliance groups at the end. This way, even if you’re exposed, you still have your homie and can eliminate the third person. It’s just a dangerous game to play and really even more dangerous to think in so much detail that far ahead.

This show is all about surviving the first few weeks, which are essentially just musical chairs, and then sticking with your core alliance and making sure they remain solid for as long as possible while you build a super strong 2-3 person alliance.

My prediction is I think he’ll make it pretty deep into the game if he can establish his early plan. However, calling him a finalist this early is impossible because I believe his game will rely heavily on his social game.
