‘Big Brother 15’ houseguest spotlight: Aaryn Gries

Are you getting emotional yet? This is our last “Big Brother 15” houseguest spotlight of the entire season, and this means that it is time to actually say goodbye to something that it feels like we just started yesterday. (Granted, it was really only a few days ago.)

The last contestant that we are featuring here is someone who should be pretty happy for herself when it comes to getting on the show, and we applaud her for being a big fan: Aaryn Gries. But is this knowledge of the game actually going to pay off? Well, that’s where we are currently at odds with ourselves…

Name – Aaryn Gries

Age – 22

Location – San Marcos, Texas

Job – Student

Personality traits – Aaryn seems down to earth, reasonably nice, ambitious, and excited. She is someone who will easily be friends with you, and is probably not going to say anything to start up a conflict.

Strengths – How about being likable, and not being someone who will make waves early? Unless you are just in the wrong place at the wrong time like Kara last season, you are probably not going to leave the game early. She could be great at endurance challenges, and she’ll probably get an alliance early.

Weaknesses – She may be a fan, but we don’t get the sense that Aaryn has it in her to make a big move in the game or get herself in trouble. She’s probably going to need to be like Jordan and have someone very unlikable with her at the end if she wants a good shot at winning. (We’re talking about season 11 Jordan, since she did improve her game strategically in season 13.)

Early prediction – Aaryn will surely last for the first few weeks, but we also can’t see her in the endgame. Even though she can be beat, there will still be some worried about a bitter jury, and she’ll be targeted for being a nice person. Hopefully, this experience will still be what she wants it to be regardless (since she wants to be in this “family” so badly).

What is your take on Aaryn? Overall, we like the cast, and we’re looking forward to seeing how all of them operate in the house together. We’re gearing up for our annual predictions article that will be online tomorrow, so stay tuned for that.
