Big Brother According to Will Mega
Rule #1: Learn Your Opponents Early
Will Mega wasn't just trying to get to know people. He needed to find out how to make
it more entertaning. Since it is a game, get the most you can out of people early on.
Furthermore, it's easier to expose your competition's weakness later on when you may
need to.

Rule #2: Control Your Opponents, Do Not Let Them Control You
Although Mega may have "held court" with his houseguests by day 3. He was already having
some of the weaker contestants come to him for approval on their character in the house.
Supporting Video:
George wants to fit the No-Soul Image,

Rule #3: Point Out the Other's Contradictions
This rule is crucial to and is not possible without enforcing Rules #1 & #2. It can help with
forming alliances. Other's are more likely to side with you when it comes to nomination time.
Supporting Video:
Will points out Brittany's contradiction
Note: Will Mega's throurough knowledge of his houeguests is supported in Will's 1st RedRoom confession.
Perfectly supporting Rules 1,2 and 3.
Rule #4: Be a Leader, Not a Follower
Will used what he knew best as a tool to get others to follow him. Since people were willing to do
what worked best as a group, they would follow. This is a perfect time to enforce Rules #1 & 2.
As he told George, "I'd rather create my own flow.".
Supporting Video:
People need to open up,
Will shows George the chicken dance,
Will leads the daily workout
Rule #5: Fit Into a Similar Circle
This didn't work out for Will, but he didn't really care to follow it anyway! Most of it had to
do with the show's casting. If you can do this, it makes the competition less stressful as you
have others to relate to. Other's with similar experience can empathize easier with your reactions
to things as an individual.
Supporting Video:
I'm tired of the same 'ol stories,
This is not my crowd
Rule #6: Don't Conform to Everything the Group Does
Be your own person. Following everyone and everything that goes on in the house doesn't help your
chances of winning. It only enables you to be a puppet. A dependent who just accepts anything Big
Brother throws at you.
Supporting Video:
I'll Role by my damn self,
What are they about to do?
Rule #7: Don't Lie to the Group
It is one thing to form alliances, but trying to con the entire house results in them alienating you
from "bonds" being formed in the house.

Rule #8: Have a Sense of Humor
Will was able to take a hilarious viewpoint at Big Brother by laughing with others and not
compromising who he was. He used his experience and differences with others to make the house a
fun place to be in.

Rule #9: Hold to Your Beliefs
On more than one occasion, Will Mega declared his belief in God and his knowledge of self. Not
just holding to them, but stating your beliefs can get you through any circumstance. As he told
Jordan. "I'd rather die in a grave standing on my feet than, than live begging on my knees."

What about Prayer?
Rule #10: Stand Up for Yourself
Even when the chips are down, it doesn't help to let people walk all over you. If you've adhered to
the above rules, you can handle any confrontation they throw at you.
Supporting Video:
Don't write checks you can't cash!,
Mehod to the Madness,
Why are you here?
Rule #11: Form an Alliance
There is an underlying theme in the fight between Eddie and Will. Will was trying to form an
Alliance with Eddie. Notice when he points out how the men have a similar vision on spending the
house money and having the ability to compete as "soldiers". And that they don't complain behind
each other's back. The problem was the other Houseguests were not in that mindset. So Will was kind
of left hanging when trying to apply this rule.
Supporting Video:
We can be about it,
Maybe they would have
Rule #12: Never Let them Figure You Out
Even in his last days in the house, Cassandra still couldn't figure out Mega's mindset. This is
because he wouldn't let her. You stay on top of the game when they don't know your next move.
Incidentally this keeps the viewers watching and people never really sure of how to vote against you.

Rule #13: "The people who they feel most threatened to win, is who you would vote for."

Role by my damn self!
Rule #14: Don't Make It Easy
Will continued to make the "competition" in the Big Brother House as challenging as he could. He forced
the other houseguests to change the way they think and do things, engaging them in the game more than
they expected to.
Supporting Video:
Nobody said it would be easy,
Let's compete,
Make them struggle
Rule #15: Stay Focused Man!
Never loose sight of your goal.
