Interview: WINNER OF 1st STARS GRAYSON10001
1. How does it feel to win the first stars?
It is very humbling. It is almost overwhelming to read the support on the voting board from the public. Everyone goes in hoping to win this game.....and everyone puts in so much heart, time, and energy....it is just a very humbling experience.
************************************************************************
2. When did you realize you may have a chance to win?
My goal in every game is just to get myself to the finals, and hopefully my journey and tactics I take to get to the finals make me perform well.
On the first day I was feeling really good, but once my alliance members where being targeted and I was blind sided by nominations on Day 3, 4, and 5, I figured I would be out in a couple days.
I was ready to be nominated and evicted around the time I started campainging to get Swatza, Latina, and Yankee out. I had been playing low key until the the middle of the game, when I started campaiging against those players, so I felt I would have a target on my back.
When there were about 7 players left and Jubbzy and Triple XXX were up for eviction, I was pretty sure I would make it to the finals. I think the only way that could have been upset was if Rich had orchestrated something. I feel he was the biggest threat to my game, but also a great friend.

3. Will you be back to Defend your title?
I will not be back anytime soon to defend my title.
I don't know if the viewers understand how much of your life the Stars game takes....publically and behind the scenes. It is what I would call a Casting game on crack. No one is new and everyone either knows you or knows of you. It is a whole new ball game.
************************************************************************
4. Was Stars hard for you?
The beginning of the game was very hard for me. I had to put myself out on a limb and get to know some new people (Peenk and Rich) and put some trust in them. The most difficult nomination for me was Jubbzy and Triple XXX, because those were two people vital to my game.
Personally, the lack of sleep and trying not to play the game too hard was the toughest part.
***********************************************************************
>5. Any advice to future stars players?
1) Do your research. Read blogs and comments from the other contestants to gauge their game reputations and how they interact with others.
2) People are afraid of alliances.
3) You are gonna have people that play multiple sides...watch out for them, because they are the most dangerous.
4) Near the end, it truly becomes a group of individuals playing and less about alliances.
5) Friendships are paramount, but realize strategy and friendship are two different things.
6) When in doubt, tell someone that so-and-so is planning to nominate them.
