But the safety lasted for only an hour.
How does Todd feel about his ouster?
How does he think he would have done had he made it to the end?

ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY: You were up 2-0 in the movie poster Head of Household competition.
Todd Bridges on ‘Celebrity Big Brother’.CBS
TODD BRIDGES:Man, just got too carried away, got excited, and hit the wrong buttons.
You know, didn’t wait.
So I should have waited.
I didn’t wait, hit the wrong buttons.
I was kind of obsessed with your reactions during competitions.
Were you just in the zone?
But tonight was the most I had to win and I blew it.
But, you know, that’s how it lays.
When you did not win that last veto did you know you were done?
Oh yeah, I knew they were gonna go after me.
I knew that Todrick and Miesha were really worried about me because I came on.
And what I didn’t know though, was that Todrick had made a side deal with Miesha.
I didn’t know that.
I would’ve kept Carson and teamed up with Carson and Cynthia and whoever else was there.
And Lamar was there, and we could have taken them out.
We had to split that pair up and I knew it, but I found out too late.
When did you realize that Miesha and Todrick were an unbreakable final 2?
It didn’t really hit me because they were playing me the whole time, you know?
They were both playing me really well.
I played a good game, so I’m very proud that I played a good game.
And he won, but my thing is I won because I played the right way.
And I’ve been reading stuff on Twitter.Big Brotherfans are very happy the way I played it.
I didn’t play it evilly, but that’s how the cookie bounces.
So we played it right.
You’ve only been out of the house for 11 hours.
We saw you tell Todrick he had played the best game in the house.
Tell me what you’ve sort of seen or heard since then, and has that changed your opinion?
Reading the stuff and watching what he said to me after I left?
Yeah, thatcompletelychanged my opinion.
He didn’t play a very good game.
He played a very mean game, a mean-spirited game.
And, unfortunately, me andCarson got caught upin it with him.
We believed what he was saying, but it just wasn’t true.
The things he said about Shanna, wasn’t true.
And so I’m very proud of the way I played it.
When you get out, you see this stuff, it really hurts your feelings in ways.
I just can’t do that.
Yeah, part of my strategy was act like I was sleeping and listening to what they were saying.
So they felt safe to talk around me.
But I think Todrick’s gonna feel what he said when he gets out.
He’s gonna feel what happened, you know?
And I think it’s gonna hurt him.
I know I had less enemies than they did, especially Todrick.
And I think Miesha, she knows that too.
She knows she has less enemies than Todrick.
And that’s why if she gets there, she’ll venture to pull ‘em up.
I think everyone knew that they pulled Cynthia up, but then you’re gonna lose.
I think Cynthia had more friends than enemies in there.
Let’s talk about Cynthia because the two of you had a big blow-up earlier in the season.
How were you both able to put that behind you?
Well, I think that Cynthia realized that I couldn’t tell her what was going on.
I was trying not to say anything.
So I couldn’t say anything.
I was always gonna vote for her, but she didn’t know that.
That’s an oxymoron.
Like I said, people take things the wrong way.
It was nice that she apologized and all that.
We talked about it and then she realized she made a big mistake.
And I’m okay with that.
You know, I forgive very quickly.
That’s what I’m supposed to do.
Lamar told Julie when he left the house that he had asked you to be his sober coach.
What can you tell me about making such an important connection with him over that?
I think that I got to him cause I talked to like a real human being.
But also, we have a lot in common too, except mine was just a lot longer ago.
But I’m just glad that I talked with him cause I’ve always wanted to meet Lamar.
And it’s good for both of us.
That how it works.
The more you give, the better it’s possible for you to receive.
So I’m happy with that.
You think you’ve got the option to bring him to outer space with you?
Hey, if they want to take me up there, I’m going.
They don’t want to go.
They’re too afraid to go, but I would be willing to go.
Finally, is there anything about the game or the experience you wish you could go back and change?
When they convinced me to put Carson up, I should have put Miesha and Todrick up.
I should have done that because I had the numbers to get one of them out.
If I would’ve split up that couple, it would’ve changed things.
I always knew the most important person to get out was Todrick.
I knew something was wrong, but I just couldn’t pinpoint it.
But that’s what happens when you’re in there.
You have no communication outside, no communication period.
So all you’re free to trust is what’s in there.
But like I said, Todrick played a very deceiving cutthroat, mean game.
Hey, he won, but did he really win?
That’s the question.
That’s what you always gotta remember.
I’ve been reading all these things.
I’m happy I played it right.
