On the couch with Olivia Okoro
Glazia: For anyone who has never met, seen, or heard of you, how would you best describe yourself?
Olivia: I would describe myself as an amiable and welcoming person. I possess a remarkable ability to make others feel at ease. I like to say that I am allergic to stress, so I ensure that I exude an aura of friendliness that draws people in and makes them feel comfortable and valued.
Glazia: As a female contestant on Big Brother Titans, how did you navigate the dynamics within the house and maintain your individuality?
Olivia: Being in the house wasn’t so difficult for me because I had my eyes on the prize, but I must admit that some days were more emotionally stressful than others, especially as a woman. Sharing the same space with 23 other strangers had its baggage. I kept my individuality by constantly reminding myself of my WHY. This kept me grounded. Even things that ordinarily would have been an issue became a walk in the park. So I’d say that it wasn’t difficult and it also wasn’t easy.
Glazia: Big Brother Titans is known for its intense competition. How did you prepare yourself physically and mentally to compete against the other housemates, especially in male-dominated challenges?
Olivia: I had watched the previous Big Brother shows, and let’s say I had my expectations. So I was already prepared, especially mentally. I taught myself always to count my losses. So even when it appeared as though I had lost a game, I was already looking forward to winning the next round.
Glazia: The audience plays a crucial role in any reality TV show, especially Big Brother. How did you tailor your actions and strategies to appeal to the viewers and potential voters?
