Who is Taylor Hale?

Taylor Mackenzie Dickens Hale is a 27-year-old Personal stylist from West Bloomfield, Michigan. She is also the former Miss Michigan USA 2021. As per Angelopedia, she is fluent in English and French and previously worked as an intern for Essence magazine. She graduated from George Washington University. Hale has worked the pageant circuit before, seeing that she previously competed in Miss District of Columbia USA in 2017 and was also Miss Pure Michigan in 2019. But, don't let her good looks sway you, there is certainly more to Hale than just that.

In a conversation with Parade, she made it clear she was here to win. "The best advice I received was from my mom, who does not know much about the game. But she told me to let them think I'm stupid. (Laughs.) I've got a pageant background. I work in the beauty industry. I know a lot of people are going to assume that all I have is beauty," she admitted. "But there's a lot more underneath me. I'm a lot more cunning than people expect me to be. So I'll let them think that I'm stupid, and then I'll slit their throats on the back end," she added. Hale also addressed the fact that people might expect a showmance out of her, but she had a very different strategy in mind. "I think people will perceive me as someone who's only here for a showmance. You've got the hair, you've got the makeup, some pretty tight dresses, I won't lie. But I'm here to play a hardcore game," she saod. "Coming from the beauty industry, I'm here to prove that women have a lot more to offer than just what's on the outside. And you can use your wit, your cutting, your charm to get you very far in this game. I plan on leaving with that $750K at the very end of this." she explained.

What's Hale's game strategy?

As per Reddit, Hale is a fan of Danielle Reyes, so fans can certainly expect her to take a page out of Reyes' book. When it comes to her alliances, Hale wants to have strategists on her side, seeing that she admits it's not her strong suit and would much rather play to her strengths. "In my alliance, personally, the people that I would least want are the people who are not good at strategizing. I'm very good at using wit and charm to get far. I will admit strategy is not going to be my strength here. So as long as I'm not the one coming up with a strategy," she noted.

Self-awareness seems to be a running theme with Hale, seeing that she admitted noted her optimism might not go down too well with everyone. "I won't say I'm a bubbly person, but I am very outgoing. And I know that typically those people are the ones that have some trouble sticking it out in the long run in the game. The houseguests might not really like that I have all this big personality. So I might have to work on tamping it down so I can get really far in the game," she added.

The 24th season of 'Big Brother' will premiere on July 6, 2022, at 8 pm ET on CBS.
