Paul Abrahamian (23) (pron Ab-ra-HAY-me-en) Hometown: Tarzana, Calif. Current City: Tarzana, Calif. Occupation: Clothing Designer Three adjectives that describe you: Honest, spontaneous and energetic. Favorite Activities: I love to play music so a jam session is always good. I love going to shows and concerts for the crowd surfing, mosh pits, stage diving, all the fun stuff. Traveling, hiking and sightseeing are definitely solid activities. I enjoy the outdoors – like the woods and mountains. I'm a thrill seeker, so essentially anything that can fuel that. I do enjoy a good night out with the friends at a fun speakeasy bar in L.A., like Davey Wayne’s and No Vacancy. What do you think will be the most difficult part about living inside the Big Brother house: I'd say adapting to everyone's personalities, dynamics, likes, dislikes, all at once. Also, feeling people out and seeing just how much of my blunt and dry humor they can take. I'm not worried about it - I thrive on situations and circumstances like this. Do you have a strategy for winning the game: If there's one trait that I'm confident about, it's that I'm sneaky. I'm very observant, remember things and handle high stress situations well. I’ll probably use people's weaknesses against them. It's very hard to get underneath my skin, but very easy for me to get underneath yours so I think I can mentally crack any member. I'm really good at getting people to do what I want. Also, getting them to think that they're on top of a situation, when really, they're not. My life’s motto is… to live my life in such a fulfilling way, that when I'm on my death bed, there's nothing left for me to experience. What would you take into the house and why: First, my guitar because I love to play and write music. I think it could be fun to have it in the house and start live jams with other housemates.

Occupation: Gym Manager Three adjectives that describe you: Smart, sexy and fit. Favorite Activities: Working out, playing soccer and trips with my friends. Those are the things that I love to do, but more than that I love women. I'm always looking for the next girl to talk to and I'm never satisfied with what I have, always wanting more. What do you think will be the most difficult part about living inside the Big Brother house: Being disconnected from the outside world. Not knowing what my family and friends are up to, what’s going on in the world, the race for president, social media, etc. Not being in the know will definitely aggravate me. Also, being one google search away from proving someone wrong will be the hardest thing ever. Do you have a strategy for winning the game: I’m not entirely sure what I will do. Woo the girls and have them like me is on the list. I want to underplay how smart I am and hopefully have them think I'm just a dumb guy that likes to lift and works at a gym. That might be in my favor since they will think that I'm only good in physical challenges. I want to be part of two alliances, but be loyal to one. That way I don’t put all my eggs in one basket. I won’t change my personality though. I'll still be the funny guy that I am and do my best to stay on everyone’s good side while slowly stabbing people in the back. My life’s motto is… get my money, develop my body and get women. What would you take into the house and why: My flatbill hat because I always wear it, every day, and it’s a must with all this hair on my head. I’d also bring my stuffed toy Ernie from Sesame Street because I’ve had him since I was a child and he goes everywhere I go…kind of like my good luck charm. Finally, all of my workout gear including my supplements, wrist wraps, weight belt and headphones. Always need to be ready to lift.

Which past Big Brother cast member did you like most: I really like Cody from season 16. Cody is very likable like me. He makes rational decisions when the time comes and does well at analyzing situations and doesn't stir the pot at the wrong times. The chicks also like him so in my eyes he's a very dynamic player with a lot of potential to win. I really see my game to be like his and maybe a little mixture of Zach at times. Zach likes to make moves here and there which I do too because I don't like to pass up an opportunity just because of a risk. Do you have a strategy for winning the game: I plan to use my great people skills and stay off the block by making as many alliances as possible, even individually. I don't want to have too much power to where I'm forced to get blood on my hands. I'm also not going to be a floater. I'm going to be a key player in competitions and have one of the strongest social games. I don't want to give anyone a reason to vote me off. And if I'm ever in position to have to put someone on the block, I'll really have to dig for a logical reason and explain why for damage control. I definitely want to have one of the strongest relationships with one or two other players that would be the strongest in the game.

What do you think will be the most difficult part about living inside the Big Brother house: Being away from my family and my business.

There is a lot of business that goes on there and it sets up the rest of the year and into the spring of the following year. Which past Big Brother cast member did you like most: Cody Calafiore...for obvious reasons (brother)!! Do you have a strategy for winning the game: There are multiple strategies I’ll use.
