Despite his performance in the elimination, Harris still blames Amber for his loss.
I would not have been in elimination if it wasn’t for my partner."
MECHIE HARRIS:I’m definitely upset.
I could have done way better in my elimination, but I kind of over thought it.
As soon as TJ blew that horn, I just panicked.
Did you know you were going to be the compromised agents heading into the elimination?
Yeah, I pretty much knew it was going to be us.
Everybody was coming up to me telling me that they were going to vote for me.
Either I’m going down there or they’re going to end up putting Josh down there.
And if my name gets called, I want Josh.
That pissed me off.
I’m way faster than Josh, I know I’m going to win this."
It’s been years.
So I panicked immediately.
Did you want to go against Josh because he had never won an elimination before at that point?
What’s so crazy is I didn’t even think about it that way.
It’s just that Josh was someone who was voting for me the whole time.
At the end of the day, that stuff adds up and that was hurting me.
So I knew he voted for me every time.
I was taking notes because you’ve got to watch out for theBig Brothercrew.
So are you and Josh vendettas moving forward?
I definitely owe him an elimination.
Anything else, he cannot beat me in.
TJ blows the horn, the elimination begins what happened?
I’m looking over at him and he got the puzzle so fast.
I started moving faster but I should have just slowed down.
How long did the whole thing end up taking?
I could not get the puzzle, so I’ll say 10 minutes?
But if it ain’t physical, it don’t work out too good for me.
You said you haven’t done puzzles in years but obviously puzzles are a major component ofThe Challenge.
Are you practicing your puzzle skills now for potential future seasons?
I’m definitely doing puzzles now.
They can be the easiest or the hardest.
But for somebody who hasn’t really seen it before?
Yeah, well, you know.
And Josh is good at puzzles, and he did that pretty fast.
I looked over and was like, my gosh.
Do you have any regrets about how you played this season?
I thought we would have been a good team.
I didn’t want Liv [Jawando] as a partner, but we were the last two standing.
That’s how we just ended up.
So the only thing I would have done differently is probably tried harder to get a different partner.
I know there was some romance happening in the house that didn’t make it to air.
What was going on that wasn’t shown in the episodes?
Just me messing around with all the girls in the house.
[Laughs] I was just having fun.
When you’re in the house, everything is taken so seriously.
[Laughs] But she was the only girl I could relate to and have fun with.
It kind of just happened but I had a good time.
I’m not going to lie about that.
A lot of times people were arguing and me and her was in the bed just joking.
But we were the only ones in the house having any throw in of romance.
Now that you’ve experienced a season, how are you preparing or training for potential future seasons?
[Laughs] For sure.
I’m definitely in the gym working on my stamina.
I’m definitely going to be prepared for those five and 10-mile challenges, the mini finals.
