Rupert鈥檚 strategy to win will be based on a partnership he hopes to find in the house.

鈥淚鈥檓 also going to find a ride or die at the beginning who is more intelligent than I am because I am not the smartest guy in the world. I鈥檒l rely on them to do the mental challenges and they can count on me to do the physical challenges,鈥� Rupert said .
