Task One: The First Interview
Let’s start of by telling everyone your name, age and what school you used to go to and what you’re doing now!
“My name is Ashton Rousseau, very french I know. ;-) I’m nineteen and a graduate from Stoney Pointe High. As of right now, I really don’t have a whole lot going on in my life. Since a majority of the scholarships offered around town went to the St Vic kids...but that’s a different story for a different day. But so far, I’ve made it my goal to save up for my very own surfboard so I can shred that shit as much as possible.”
Tell the fans a little bit about yourself, what you’re like as a person, what good and bad traits you have.
“Believe it or not, I take a lot of pride in where I come from, so next time you think of badmouthing me or my people.. watch out. I guess that makes me loyal, huh? However, if I ever feel betrayed by you, you’re dead to me. I’m told I’m great at holding grudges, but I think I just have a good judge of character. Also, Lennox thinks I’m cute, but it’s not like she’ll ever admit to it. Add attractive to my list of positives, I guess.”
So you just saw the house, you took the tour, you saw the view, what did you think of everything?
“It’s a once in a lifetime opportunity, I still can’t believe I’m here. If it weren’t for this show, I never would’ve had the chance to leave New York. Even though a lot of the people here are unappreciative brats, I will always remain grateful.”
What was your reaction when you found out who your roommate was? Do you get along with your roommate?
“I’ve got two roommates, Will and Rory. Will is alright, he just thinks he’s the next Beethoven or something which is annoying. Rory on the other hand...I’ll just leave it at I came close to punching him in the face last night... But, yeah, I’m pissed about being stuck with the two of them since I’m pretty sure they’re a thing now. My biggest fear is walking in one night to find them getting freaky in MY bed.”
Is there anyone in the house that you find it awkward being around?
“To be quite honest, not really. I’m unashamed of who I am and I’m never gonna stop being myself just because I’ve got some history with someone or they don’t like me.”
Who do you have the most history with in the house?
“As much as it pains me to say it, probably Rory. Back when I was very young and had very poor judgement, we were childhood friends. Carson is another possibility too, though. We were raised together by my uncle until he died.”
You’re here for three months, how do you think this is gonna end? Do you think everyone will leave hating each other or will everyone end the show as a newly found family?
“Some of the trust fund babies aren’t actually that bad, which is surprising. However, I think it’s just because they’re scared of us Stoney Pointe kids. This rivalry has been going on for years, I don’t think three months will do us any justice. They may be alright now, but once the show is over things will most likely go right back to how they used to be.”
