Kenny Brain was first
Question: Where did your game go wrong?
Answer: Honestly, my game probably started to go wrong when Canada had HoH. I think that we were just steamrolling through the game and Canada wanted to shake the house up, so they put up two of our alliance members. Then it was a slow decline from there. Well, not that slow.
Q: It seemed that before Neda even said your name (as a replacement nominee) you were standing up. You knew it was coming?
A: I knew it was coming. I think that was one of my faults as well coming into the game was that I showed how much of a competitor I am and how much I wanted it. Obviously, I can’t hide my emotions very well, so I think that the target on my back got larger every week. I knew once Momsie (Sarah) went, I was next.
Q: If you could go back and change one thing in the game, what would it be?
A: I think it would have been to keep my lines of communication more open with Jon and not be so loyal to the First 5. I think in the long run, my loyalty to them was my downfall, because I wasn’t keeping other avenues open.
Q: How different was the experience from what you thought it was going to be?
A: Oh my God, it was completely different. I thought I was going to be able to keep my emotions separate and just rip through the house. I was going to be a strategic powerhouse, and not be so caught up in relationships and bonds that I was forming in there. But I am a huge baby and I can’t help but empathize with people and create these bonds, which was part of my downfall.
Q: On the flip side of that, are there relationships that you will keep up outside of the house.
A: Absolutely. My relationship with Sarah is something that far exceeds what that game was. I know that she will be in my life for the rest of my life. I know that is something I will take out of this game regardless.
Q: Let’s talk about your decision to stay in the closet in the house.
A: When it comes to this specific situation it is a game, it is a world unto itself. When you go into the house, a lot of people create characters. I mean, Arlie is hiding which side he is on. Just because I never came out with who I am, my sexual preferences, doesn’t mean I’m ashamed of it and want to hide it. It just left avenues open that could use to possibly advance myself in the game. Once I realized that it carried no weight in the game I was playing and that it wouldn’t harm my place in the game, that’s when I knew that I wanted to come out. I wanted to show people that you don’t’ need to hide who you are to advance yourself. I am glad I got a chance to do that before I left.
Q: Do you think that maybe a week or two in the game, you could see there are no potential showmances here . . .
A: After a week or two, it’s still fairly fresh. The flirting, even with Rachelle, after the first week, I knew she had a boyfriend, but the flirting that we were engaged in strengthened the bond in the relationship that was secondary to the First 5 and was something that I could have called upon if something had happened. So, it still kind of did have a factor in the game at that point.
Q: What advice would you have for people in the house and who?
A: To Jon, I would definitely tell him to stop playing with his ego. I feel like he is making mistakes based on him trying to be the big dog. I know he’s intelligent, but think he might make mistakes on choosing who should stay and go just based on his ego.
Q: How bad is slop?
A: Slop is the worst thing that’s even been created. I literally is like eating, I don’t know if I can say it, diarrhea and dried horse crap. It mentally and physically drains you. I would literally draw a blank in the middle of sentences and forget words. It’s the worst. I can’t even put it into words. I wish everyone could experience it at least once because it’s terrible. (And did you know Neda threw out the condiments so it would taste even worse to you?) I found out today. I hate her so much right now. Smart, smart move on her part. I know she was doing it to make slop even worse for me, and weaken me. I knew someone did it, I didn’t know who, but I knew why it was done. I was kind of determined to eat even more slop to get even stronger because I knew the lengths they would go to weaken me.
Sarah Miller was last
Question: Let’s start at the beginning: when you got in the house, how was the experience different than what you thought it was going to be?
Answer: I think I kept expecting it to feel like it wasn’t me in there, but I kept saying to myself, ‘It’s just me and I’m in this house. Am I really on Big Brother? Is this really happening?’ Everything was just so crazy. The house was so beautiful, lots of people that, of course, you are trying to get to know. The first couple of days were amazing.
Q: As the game progressed, how much harder was it than you thought it was going to be? You’ve had kids so you’ve done the tough stuff.
A: I thought that because I had gone through childbirth and all of the years high school that this would be a breeze for me. But it was so incredibly difficult. I think the hardest part for me was the emotional part, being away from my family. That definitely played a role on my game(play) for sure.
Q: In terms of gameplay, what would you have done differently?
A: The only thing I can think of is maybe thinking of splitting from the First 5 faster, maybe flipping faster, when Canada voted Andrew out. I thought I was trying to play both sides as well as I could. I didn’t want to totally take my foot out of First 5, but I was still working with Arlie on this Plan B alliance that we had been talking about. My only major mistake, I think, was not being on board with backdooring Kenny, getting rid of Kenny this week. Had I acted a little bit better, maybe just let that happen, I would be in a much better position right now.
Q: Are you going through any culture shock now that you’re out of the house?
A: Definitely. Last night I slept with the least amount of clothes on that I’ve slept in for the last 43 days. I went to the washroom fully for the first time. A few of those things, you know, but just seeing people in itself is like, ‘Ahhh! Who are you?’
Q: The people that are still in the house, who does it kill you that they are still in and you are out?
A: Jon, because he is such a little bugger. He is smarter than he acts. But I think Arlie is much smarter and much more calculating, so I am really hoping that with Jon in there that he doesn’t eliminate Arlie before Arlie has the chance to pull himself back up.
Q: What advice would you give Arlie?
A: I have absolutely no advice for Arlie! He is amazing. He did all of this. He is the reason I am out here. I need advice for him! Arlie, come back to me, come back to me!
Q: Kenny was saying for all the spinning and manipulation in the house, you are going to be one of his friends for the rest of his life.
A: I feel so incredibly lucky and blessed to have met Kenny in this house. Really, it makes it so much easier to walk out of that house knowing that what I won was so much more valuable than money. That’s just the way I am looking at this whole experience.
Q: What are you going to tell the kids are when you get home?
A: I am just going to see what their reactions are, see what they thought. My oldest, my nine-year-old, at one point in the last few months before Big Brother, I kind of threw it out there, and said, ‘If Mom was ever on one of those shows like Survivor or Big Brother, how do you think I’d do?’ She just flat out said, ‘No.’ So I think I will go home and she’ll say, ‘I told you you wouldn’t win!’ I’m just excited to talk about it with them and what their experience was. Really, I’m excited just to see them and have their little hands all over me. I can’t wait.
Q: How did that factor in how you played your game, knowing your kids would be watching everything you did?
A: If I’m being really honest, I try to be myself as much as possible at home as well. I feel that with my kids, I want them to know that parents aren’t’ perfect, we make mistakes. I don’t ever want them to think that they have to live up to some perfection. There were certain things I would keep on the down low, but I have a potty mouth anyway. We are pretty open with our kids, so I wasn’t that worried about it. I was more worried if I would come across looking mean or if I was arguing with someone that they might not like that. That was my biggest concern.
Q: Did you worry about things like, if I betray my closest friend in the house or something like that, how that would appear to the kids?
A: I think they would be okay. They are really smart. When we watch these kinds of shows together, they put things together before than we do. They’ll say, ‘Oh, she’s doing that because she needs to get here.’ So I think they would have known that. But at the same time, leaving the house because I wouldn’t give up or betray Kenny is a nice lesson for them as well, that there are some things that are worth so much more than money.
