Birthday bump
Kaysar Ridha's eviction from the Big Brother: All-Stars house could be the best birthday present he's ever received.
That's because the aspiring actor is being considered for a role in DreamWorks' upcoming film The Kite Runner, based on Khaled Hosseini's best-selling book.
"I'm kind of glad to be out, so I can follow up on that now. We are still pushing to try and get me on the movie," says Ridha, who turned 26 on Thursday.
"I don't know what's happened (since being on BB). I have to call my manager, but I know they like me. I was highly recommended."
While Ridha's future in films is uncertain, there is one thing he says he knows for sure — he is not cut out for Big Brother.
After being evicted last season, Ridha, the most popular and honest houseguests on BB6, was voted back in by viewers, only to have his housemates send him packing two weeks later.
This year, he again trusted the wrong person — his pal James Rhine — who backstabbed him by forming an alliance with ChillTown — Will (Dr. Evil) Kirby, Mike (Boogie) Malin — and Danielle Reyes, called the Legion of Doom.
"I knew (James) was ready to jump ship, but I desperately, desperately tried to keep him on board. I saw it coming, but I thought it was going to come a little bit later," Ridha says, adding he doesn't think Rhine's actions will win him the game.
"I don't think this Legion of Doom is going to stick together because there is no loyalty amongst them."
Aside from trusting Rhine, Ridha's eviction can also be attributed to his failure to oust Chilltown when he had the chance.
"The reason why Will and Boogie are still in the game is because they are dishonest. Will is a previous winner and, for that reason, we wanted to maintain another target other than the Season 6," he says.
After Thursday's live show went off the air, Big Brother held a second HOH competition, which Ridha's friend Janelle Pierzina won.
He says because Pierzina is unaware of the Legion of Doom alliance, she'll likely put up its leader Danielle Reyes and "floater" Erika Landin and the house will send home Landin.
"All-Stars is a much different game. We've got big egos, we've got big personalities and we've got some heavy-hitters in there who are willing to go the distance.
"I want the best player to win. So if someone is going to win it by lying, cheating, backstabbing and deceit, I say, do it all the way."
Big Brother airs Sundays, Tuesdays and Thursdays at 9 p.m. on Global and CBS.
