What was making Christmas so emotional in those final days in the house?

What made you so emotional?

It felt, for me, like I was one against three players, and guess what?

Big Brother

CBS

I was really missing my son.

I could see the end of the tunnel, my best friend just got evicted.

I felt excluded and overlooked.

I was still in the house I have not been evicted yet!

It hurt my feelings.

What do you think now: Can those two things be separated or not?

I think that there is a separation between personal connection and gameplay.

I don’t particularly know what personal game is.

I definitely have personal connections in the house and I still evicted those houseguests.

I also didn’t use any information from her personal conversations with me in the game.

I mean, I get it, she just got evicted and I’m in the house.

She wanted me out.

I don’t have any hard feelings toward her personally.

And I understand in that moment, like, you have real feelings in that moment.

And that was her choice.

I would have not dropped that one pumpkin out of my shovel.

Dropping that one pumpkin was such a game changer for me entirely.

The last few weeks right now would have played out very differently.

And you know, that was a hard loss.

You made it into the final four both times you played.

How did your experience this season compare to the last one for you?

Making it into the final four this season and in my season 19 was a completely different experience.

The last time I played this game, I couldn’t do any of the physical competitions.

I was very limited.

I had to rely heavily on my alliance and my social game.

This season, I was able to compete.

So it was a completely different experience, and I had the time of my life.
