PARTING WORDS
What was the most difficult aspect of being on BIG BROTHER?
Going into the show, I thought it would be the fact that there were cameras and microphones everywhere. But after that wore off, the most difficult aspect in the game was finding someone to align myself with, and that was Danielle, then keeping our alliance as behind-the-scenes and as quiet as we possibly could. We were very successful at keeping it quiet. I'm learning now that Lisa might have had some thoughts and ideas about the alliance early on. If that was the case, it was brilliant that she aligned herself with us, and took it to the end: better player than I was!
Did you play the game as you hoped you would, strategy-wise?
I did. I wanted to walk out of the House and feel comfortable, confident and happy about how I played the game. Two or three weeks into it, I thought, "it's about to get nasty, and I might have to do some dirty stuff." I really was in that moment feeling like I'm going to walk out of the House and be disappointed in the way I played the game. But I didn't feel like I ever had to compromise on things. At times, I had to hold my cards close and never really let people into what I was doing, but I walked out of there and felt good about how I played the game. Danielle and Lisa were obviously better players: they're there! But I'm not disappointed at all. As a matter of fact, I may be saved from a very tough night on Wednesday for Lisa and Danielle. So I feel like I'm in a good place.
What personality trait is most important for winning this game?
I don't know if one personality trait will help you. There are several things you need. I think charisma is important. I think the ability to listen carefully and know when to speak is important. And then, just having a good time is important in the game. I think all of those things really help you out.
Knowing what you know now, would you have formed a different alliance than the one you had with Danielle?
That's a great question, but I don't think I would have, because when I came into the game, I was looking for someone like Danielle to align myself with. Even though it looks now like people had a problem with the way Danielle played the game, her Diary Room sessions maybe becoming a little more personal vent than game, I don't at all regret it, or wish that I had done something differently. I think that it was a smart move, and I think that's what took me to the Final Three, and to become the last man standing.
Besides your own alliance with Danielle, which alliance would you say was the strongest?
The alliance that I had with Danielle was probably the strongest in the House: it's the one that lasted from Week One to the very last week, 96 hours from the finale. Other than that, what Roddy had with Chiara, Eric and Lisa, that couples alliance, was very strong. Had Eric not gone that week, Lisa would have been evicted, and someone else would have moved into that fourth position. It would have been maybe Josh, maybe Gerry; it could have been someone else, maybe even Marcellas, depending on how that worked out. That foursome could have done amazing things and really been there and taken it to the Final Four. So right now, Danielle and Lisa would probably not be in the House. I think the couples alliance was a brilliant move.
Which HouseGuest was the greatest threat to you, and why?
Now, having left the House, starting to look at some episodes, I think maybe Lisa was a greater threat that I ever gave her credit for. In the House, I felt it was probably Roddy, only because he was so charismatic; he had lots of people who were connected to him. He was just great in everything that he did, whether it was game-play, or the deals, or just developing friendships. People would want to work with him. I thought his game was brilliant.
