3. He can say the alphabet backward
When we join a school, we are all taught of the alphabet and the order of the letters. We end up knowing to recite the alphabet from the first letter A to the last letter Z. Cliff goes ahead to reverse the alphabetical latter by saying it from Z to A, which is not an easy task as it needs practice. The reverse reciting of the alphabet is one of the capabilities that make this Big Brother guest quite an interesting character.

He says that he has slept under bulletproof blankets in one of his meetings in some part of the world. During this time, he had guns pointed at him, but he eventually survived. These tragic experiences are the reasons that make him focused on winning in the show, and having been through such unimaginable encounters, the challenges presented to him in the show might be a walk in the park.
7. He once won an award for rowing
Rowing is a sport that has never gotten the attention of many. Cliff says that he once won an award for rowing. Cliff is that kind of person that will not mind doing something new and will ensure that he is perfect at it. He took up rowing due to his love for adventure, but to some extent, he still is a competitive guy and losing is not in his dictionary.
8. Has traveled to all parts of the world
Going to new places is an adventurous activity, whether it is because your job sends you there or you are taking a vacation.

Cliff has had the opportunity to tour several parts of the world. According to Oprah Magazine, Cliff says he has traveled to all parts of the world and has a lot of stories to share.
9. He takes alcohol
Drinking alcohol is a leisure activity, although it is not a preference for all. Cliff is a habitual drinker who drinks alcohol when celebrating victory and sometimes during his free time.

10. He is a very optimistic person
To achieve whatever we need, we always have to be optimistic. Cliff is a very confident person as we can see from his strategy of winning the prize in Big Brother.
