YOU’VE BASICALLY SPENT THE LAST 55 DAYS BEING YELLED AT BY DICK. DID IT MAKE THE EXPERIENCE LESS ENJOYABLE?
I was very happy with the competition aspect — Dick was not so thrilling. I was happy to be the one who took the brunt of his yelling because a lot of people handled it differently — they yelled back, they cried — and I was more entertained with what he would come up with next. I was like “You said that before. Don’t you have anything new?”

WHAT ABOUT HIS DAUGHTER, DANIELE?
No one in that family has very good values. I feel really badly for Daniele’s boyfriend. He has to sit there and watch all those things she is doing with Nick. She is a cheat, and I don’t like cheaters.

YOU WERE A STRONG COMPETITOR — THREE VETO WINS AND ONE HOH — IS THAT WHY THEY BACKDOORED YOU?
Most definitely. Obviously, they tried to get me out three times the regular way and it didn’t work out, and this was Daniele’s last chance. She was scared I would nominate her, even though I wouldn’t have. I guess it should be looked at as a compliment. They knew it was the only way to get me out. They’re scared because they can’t beat me in competitions and I’m such a happy, outgoing person, they wouldn’t be able to beat me in the end, even though that wasn’t my goal.

YOU SAID IN THE HOUSE YOU MIGHT NOT GO TO THE SEQUESTER HOUSE. ARE YOU GOING TO?
I am. The first time I said it, I was just thinking, “I just want to go home, see my family and make sure they’re all okay.” But the producers let me have a couple phone calls. Plus, I’d like to relax outside the Big Brother house, but before I get back to real life, because I really am used to only seeing 14 people. It really is weird.

SO WHO WON’T YOU GIVE YOUR VOTE TO?
I know it’s going to sound personal, but I think Dick’s the least deserving of anyone in the house. He’s really paranoid and I don’t think that anyone who uses the intimidation strategy and is as mean as he is should be rewarded.

ONCE THE SHOW IS OVER, ARE YOU GOING TO GO BACK AND WATCH THE WHOLE SEASON TO SEE WHAT YOU MISSED THE FIRST TIME?
The first thing I am going to do is watch the entire season. That could change but at this point, it’s definitely the plan. I’m going to get a food supply and hunker down and watch episode after episode.

WHAT MOMENT IS GOING TO BOTHER YOU THE MOST WHEN YOU REWATCH IT?
I think I will be most upset with myself about the cigarette fighting. It looks like I was fighting with Dick and I think it’s going to bother me. I was so happy the whole time and I had one bad day out of 55 and it’s going to be there forever. I hate it. I wish I went out the week before all that happened [laughs) or afterward when the house had gone back to normal and everyone forgot about it.
