To start, tell us a little bit about yourself

Give us your name, where you're from, and what you do. Hi, I'm Katherine Woodman

I'm from Columbia, South Carolina, and I am a fine dining server. What's your reaction to getting to play Big Brother

I mean, it feels really good. I'm super excited to be in the Big Brother house and to be a house guest this summer

I think no matter what happens, I'll have a lot of fun and I'll learn a lot about myself

But the goal is obviously to win that money at the end of the day

Tell us a little bit about your life in the outside world and how that has prepared you for Big Brother

Outside of this game, I am a waitress. I accommodate to people's needs all the time

And I can keep a straight face when I genuinely don't like people very much

And they have no idea and still end up giving me money at the end of their service. So I think that's a skill that's going to really help me in this house

because there's a lot more money on the line in this house than there is a tip at a table. I'm also, I have a degree in public relations. I know how to twist things, which is something that

the PR professors never want you to say, but I can twist a story to make it sound right and to

work in my favor. And I have that skill from four years at a university. So I am ready to go with

the skills that I've developed. Why did you want to compete on Big Brother

I want to compete on Big Brother to really prove to myself that I can do something like this

I can be taken seriously. I have gained all of these skills from experiences in my life

strength from going through a lot when I was younger, just some form of intelligence from

going into school and learning how to read people at my job and in school as well and

read situations. I think it's probably the best example to myself of what I can truly handle and

and also how much I can get out of a situation What your strategy going into the game My strategy going into the house is to kind of try to be everyone friend I don want to be

too overly that way. And people think that I'm just trying to make connections in order to stay

in the house because I'm likable. But I think definitely after the first couple of days

I'm slowly going to be trying to like infiltrate different little groups that I might see forming

just to make sure that I'm still in the background of their heads as somebody that they

enjoy being around and like being there. So I'm not a target up front when people are just trying

to get rid of people and not get too much blood on their hands. Why will you win Big Brother

I'm gonna win Big Brother because I think people are going to underestimate me and they're not

going to anticipate my strong social game. What are your biggest strengths? Some of my strengths

going into this game are probably going to be the fact that people aren't going to look at me as

somebody major to take out immediately, even though I'm going to attempt to do things kind

of behind the scenes. I also think that one of my strengths is going to be the fact that people

just end up trusting me all the time. I am kind of like the secret vault that people always tell

things to in my personal life. And I think that's going to be applicable to the house. What are your biggest weaknesses? I think one of my weaknesses in the Big Brother house could

potentially be me being a little too trusting. I'd like to think that I'm going to have my guard up

but I don't want to be one of those people that ends up blindsided for trusting the wrong people

Do you plan on keeping any secrets about yourself from the other house guests

I think when I get into the house, I'm going to be pretty honest about who I am

I think the way that I present myself might be a little falsified. I'm not going to intentionally

try to get anybody to think that I'm smart or I'm thinking too much about this game. I'm totally

fine with being viewed as kind of the ditzy person running around the house that brings a little bit of sunshine in more so than somebody that taken very seriously which I think would be a bit of a misinterpretation of me Would you be open for a showmance I think a showmance this summer is something that I could

be open to. It's not something that I'm actively going to be looking for, but I think if I can find

a way to have a little bit of extra fun for maybe a week or two, I'll do that. But I don't really

see it being something that continues on for my entire gameplay in the house like some people do

Will you be more of a hero or a villain in the house? I think whether or not I'm a hero or a

villain in the Big Brother house is more so going to depend on the people I'm surrounded with

I think if the majority of everyone there is getting on my nerves then I will more than likely

end up being a bit of a villain. I don't think I can hold back my personality quite that much that

I wouldn't get annoyed with them. But under normal circumstances, probably a little bit more

so hero way. We just have to see who's there. How will you crush your enemies? I think I can crush

my enemies potentially by once again, just them underestimating me. I think it's something that

they're not going to expect if I go behind someone's back or if I make a slight bit of moves

I think I'm a bit manipulative and I think I can convince people that my ideas are their ideas

if I need to get some strong people out. What will be your secret weapon in the house

I think my secret weapon is going to be the fact that I am going to come off extremely trusting

I think that people aren't going to be expecting much from me

probably going in, and I genuinely want to portray myself that way

So that's going to be a big part of my gameplay. What are you bringing to the show that nobody has seen before

I think I'm going to bring to the show somebody that is a bit younger and there have been young people before but someone with a lot more depth I think than anybody that probably been on this show below 25 before I experienced a lot of things in my first 23 years of life already and I think it going to

show a lot more facets of myself than I think a lot of people my age would be showing

What's your fan level with Big Brother? Honestly, my fan level is like, I'm a big fan. I love the show. I'm very entertained by it

super fan, not so much. I wish I was. I think it would really help my preparedness, but I have seen

a few seasons and I love it. It was something that I got kind of hooked on immediately in the past

year and a half, honestly. There's only so much you can watch in that short amount of time

so we'll see how that works for me. Why will you be the player to watch this season

I will be the one to watch this summer because I am probably going to be one of the most

entertaining people in that house. I genuinely think that I'm just going to be a fun person

to see navigate the game. I think most people these days are super fans and they are so incredibly

cautious with their gameplay, which yes is good, but also have fun, make moves, do something

important while you're there. You know, you don't want your time wasted just being super cautious

of everybody else in the house. What makes Big Brother such a successful show after 25 years

I think Big Brother is genuinely the staple entertainment for Americans. It has funny

moments. It has these big outlandish competitions that are just fun to watch and seem like, wait

I wouldn't mind competing in that just for fun, let alone for money. There's a lot of things at

stake, whether or not it's relationships within the house, friendships, also the money at the

end of the day. I mean, there's so many different things going on and it never gets boring. So I

think that's why Big Brother is just such a staple American show for people to watch
