Alright, here we have ‘Zae’ – or Isaiah Frederich. Seeing as I am going to butcher writing that name a lot, I’ll likely just be calling him Zae through most of the season.

In his opening interview, he had all the basics you’d expect. He’s going to be a comp beast, mental beast, social beast, and pretty much any other beast you can think of. Yea yea, we’ve heard all that before so that means nothing to me. As Mike Tyson said “everyone has a plan until they get punched in the face”, which typically can be used for anyone entering the house for the first time.

Everyone feels confident about comps until they find themselves stacking foam bricks or trying to roll a ball down a carnival-style game to win HoH.

Zae also said he doesn’t actually have a specific strategy for the season, which I guess can be good for a newbie (see: above quote) as you really just have to kind of wing it. I mean, you should have a basic plan of like trying to stay low but not too low where you’re an easy eviction. Always try to find some close people you can actually trust that aren’t part of a forced 3 AM alliance on night 1. Never win the first HoH but don’t make it obvious you threw it.

Just basic stuff like that. Other than that, every season is different, so the best is to adapt. Zae claims he is adaptable, but how he will do is anyone’s guess.

My prediction – Either super early eviction due to not meshing with the house, or fairly deep into the game. Basically, he’ll be the first or second out, or he’s making it fairly deep into the jury. Definitely a candidate to win it all.
