Derrick Levasseur
Big Brother 16 Houseguest

--------------------------------------------------------

Derrick attended college on a full ride baseball scholarship and got his master’s degree in Business Management. He’s been a Police Sergeant for 10 years after starting as an undercover officer when he was only 20 years old.

What do you think will be the most difficult part about living inside the “Big Brother” house?
Being away from my family for so long. Even though you are in the house with other people, you have to remember that they are trying to take $500,000 away from you and it will be tough to not have my family to release some of the tension.

Strategy for winning “Big Brother”:
My strategy involves three phases. First, attempt to find common interests with as many houseguests as I can, while developing a profile on them. Second, start using the facts I learned about the houseguests against them. Finally, if I’m able to win a few HOH's/POV's late in the game, I can make some moves that will determine the winner.

Which past “Big Brother” cast member did you like most?
I love that Dan Gheesling was always using sports analogies to pump himself up because I'm the same way.

What would you take into the house and why?
A picture of my daughter as she is everything to me, my memory foam pillow since I need a good night sleep and a deck of cards.

What would you do if “Big Brother” made you famous?
I would try and use it to make some positive changes. I would like to give back to my family and help out the kids of Central Falls. Also, I'm a huge animal lover. Sign me up for anything I can do to help reduce the number of puppy mills, kill shelters and helping animals get adopted.

Winner of BB16.

Because they cast him in a house full of vapid, dimwitted famewhores, he was able to do everything he outlined above, and rather easily at that. Was quietly in control of every phase of the game. Manipulated everyone, and if anyone got wise or resisted his powers of persuasion, they were gone the next week.

He avoided winning competitions, choosing instead to "advise" whoever was in power. then he would "advise" everyone else as well, and would sit back and watch them all do what he said like wind-up toys. He was never nominated for eviction once the entire season, which is unheard of.

He won $500,000, and $20,000 for completing 4 Team America Tasks, and $5,000 in a veto competition. Oh, and there was an added bonus to being on Team America: if a team member went all the way and won the season, they win an additional $50,000. (Which is overkill, because the TA twist was lame all summer; they were getting paid tons of money for pulling pranks).

So he wins a total of $575,000. And he was able to keep his real profession as a cop secret the entire summer. He made it look too easy. And as a result the season was kind of boring and predictable. Eh.
