Kaysar – Big Brother 7

By starrymag | February 7, 2014

Q.  What have you been up to since we saw you in season six?

A.  I think what stands out the most has been my acting classes.  I’ve been taking that really seriously.  I haven’t actually been going out and auditioning since I want to start at the bottom.  I want to take it seriously, I don’t know want to be like “Hey, I’m Kaysar, give me a job.”  I want to actually learn the craft, so I’ve been taking acting classes.  It took me about three months to really figure out what the hell I wanted to do.  The depression period really took a toll on me and I didn’t know what to do from that point.  It definitely was a life changing experience and it took three to five months to figure out what the heck I wanted to do.  I dropped the whole graphic design thing and still kind of did it and paid my bills.

Q.  What made you want to come back for All-Stars?

A.  Well, you know, being on “Big Brother” is a double-edged sword.  You have good times and bad times, but its those good times and feelings that can only be created in the “Big” Brother house that keeps you begging for more.  So, I wanted to go back, I had to go back.  I was like, “You know it’s going to be so much fun.  It’s going to be all these heavy-hitters, all of these big personalities, egos.”  I wanted to see how I would match up against them.  I wanted to see what they were made of.  I didn’t want to see it on television, I wanted to be there.

Q.  Did you have a strategy before entering the house?

A.  The thing is, I knew I couldn’t necessarily formulate a really big strategy because things happen so quickly, they’re always changing.  So, I knew that my strategy was to stay mentally strong, get myself in better physical shape.  Basically, this time around I didn’t want to come out aggressive.  They were expecting it, I didn’t want people to expect me to steal someone’s fame.  So I just waited a bit, I wanted to play the game more aggressively towards the latter point of the game, towards the second half.  So, I wanted to pace myself.

Q.  What were some of your predictions for the show?

A.  I predicted that James was going to make an alliance with Danielle eventually.  I predicted that Dr. Will was going to be a jerk!  Those are pretty much the writing on the wall, obvious stuff.  As for everything else, you just don’t know.  I thought I’d butt heads with Jase; didn’t really happen.  I thought I would butt heads with Diane and Alison; didn’t really happen.  I got along really well with everyone.  I thought I was possibly going to work with Nakomis; didn’t work out that way.  So, things that you expect to happen, didn’t happen. 

Q.  Last night you said you weren’t meant for the game.  But, you dominated so much in season six.  What do you think was different about this year?

A.  I have been told a lot of times that I’m too honest, too open with my strategy.  I’m too loyal and I say to those people, I agree.  I am; but that’s me, and I can’t change.  You can’t pretend to be something else when you’re not.  I just can’t do it, I just can’t.  I started realizing how vicious the game was becoming, a lot more vicious then it was last year.  Last year it was just people making personal attacks on each other.  Fine; I can deal with that.  This year it was just brutal, people that you hoped wouldn’t betray you, that you just tried to reach out to and really strike a cord with them.  It was becoming a house of daggers and I could not dodge them anymore.  Even deception crept into my own alliance and that was the point where if you can’t find safety within your own alliance, what are you supposed to do?  Especially given the type of game play that I play.  I really try to gain the respect of people, I try to play with integrity.  If that is not reciprocated to even the first degree, the lowest level, then you have nothing to work with.

Q.  James wasn’t a part of your alliance last year but was included this time around.  Did you ever feel he could be a weak link?

A.  I believed that James was part of our alliance last year, but it was for a very short period of time.  I believe that he’s a paranoid player.  I believe that he jumps to conclusions and likes to jump ship.  Unfortunately, he’s not loyal I guess.  He’s looking out for himself.  He might still harbor some sort of animosity from last year.  I desperately tried to reassure him that we were all on the same page this year.  That we were all going to rectify all of the wrongs that were made last year, that we all made.  That we were going to take a step in the right direction.  I tried so hard and in the end it didn’t work.  I don’t know how to get through to people, I really don’t.  In the outside world I can, I can connect to people and they can see I am genuine and really want the best for everyone.  It was not happening.  I do believe James was a part of the team last year, he was a part of the team this year. 

Q.  You tried to rally votes to ensure your stay this week in the house.  You seemed so friendly with everyone.  Why do you think it was such a unanimous eviction?

A.  One, there is no room in the house for friendliness, trust and loyalty.  People don’t want that.  They feel they can’t win against someone who is fun, friendly and loyal in the end.  You can’t because they tell you one thing, they don’t intend on leaving the game!  The more deceptive you are, the less likely you will win against someone who didn’t screw people over.  You need to get those people out.  The less likely that person is going to strike some sort of shady deal with you, you need to get that person out.  I was just that person.  Why was I taken out this week?  Because they knew I wasn’t going to turn on my alliance.  They knew I wasn’t going to turn on Janelle and Howie and right now, Janelle is still enemy number one.  So, in order to get to her, they needed to get me out, plain and simple.

Q.  What is it about Janelle that makes you so loyal to her?

A. It’s not necessarily Janelle.  When I give someone my word, it could have even been Chill Town.  I gave them my word and my word is gold.  It’s like I can’t go back on it.  That’s the person I am and I know people say, “You’re a fool.  It’s Big Brother.”  I do believe we went in with an understanding between James, Janelle, Howie and I.  Were going to look after one another and if I’m going to tell someone that I got their back, I’m gonna get their back.  I gotta pull through.

Q.  Who would you like to see win?

A.  I want to see someone who really plays the game win.  This is All-Stars.  If you’re going to play the game with loyalty, integrity and honor, then play it to the best of your ability.  If you’re going to play with deception, lies and deceit, then play that game to the best of your ability.  I want to see someone make their stand and work their angle and play it the best possible way they can.  At that time I’ll probably know who is going to win.  I don’t know yet, but it’s too early.  I feel like the game just started now.

Q.  Do you think your friendship with Erika will continue outside of the house?

A.  It depends, the dynamic of the house is so different then the real world.  She seems like a very sweet woman.  I think she is very sincere as well.  It’s always good to have people who are open in your life and we might be friends, who knows.

Q.  What are you looking forward to the most now that you are no longer in the house?

A.  Getting a good nights sleep, some good food and I want to get back to my life.  I want to see myself really be pushed, see what I can make of my life now.  I did the “Big Brother” experience, I made the most of it and it’s been fun.  I love the fact that it’s been such a positive experience.  I love the fact that regardless of what is happening in the world people still came out and supported me.  That’s been phenomenal.  I hope to place myself out there where I can continue to do something positive.  Just continue being me, to somehow give back, maybe acting is one way to portray who I am and maybe send a message.  Maybe public speaking is another way.  So, I’m still developing that and trying to make my mark.  It’s not about being famous and it’s not about money.  It’s about loving what you do and I want to make an impact on this world.  It sounds pretty crazy but whatever, I will always be someone from a reality TV show.

Q.  Diane mentioned Janelle was carrying a grudge from outside of the house but Janelle viewed her as a big threat.  Do you feel like Janelle’s justification was true?

A.  No, I think Janelle liked Diane inside the house.  I think it was what was said outside the house that sort of made Janelle paranoid.  She felt that Diane could be up to something eventually.  So, I think that was pretty much the whole idea.

Q.  Some of the house guests thought you were in a bit of a depression whether it was from a romantic relationship or from your personal life.  Would you say the same?

A.  The thing is, I wouldn’t call it a depression.  It was more that I felt like I just got out of the house and now I found myself in the house again and it was something really hard to deal with.  Sometimes you miss friends and you miss family, you miss your life.  It’s mentally draining and so I don’t really think it was depression.  I think it was hard for me to maintain mental clarity.

Q.  What would you like to say to your fans and supporters?

A.  I’d like to say thank you for voting me back in and sticking with me.  It’s been very flattering and it’s been an amazing experience.  I hope to keep this going.  It’s been exciting so far and it’s been awesome, much love.
