00:02 - I absolutely believe Jag did the wrong thing.
00:10 Jag was supposed to keep me and send Matt to the jury house.
00:15 And I don't say that because I was gonna stay,
00:19 but I really believe he made a $750,000 mistake.
00:24 Him taking the risk of sitting in that chair next to Matt
00:29 will probably be the decision that he regrets
00:31 for the rest of his life.
00:32 I'm not quite sure why they kept nominating me.
00:37 I think part of it was because, again,
00:39 everybody talks about the blood on their hands
00:41 and what somebody's already been on the block.
00:43 They're like, well, that person already has been
00:44 on the block, so they can't be mad at everybody.
00:47 And in the end, they're gonna have to pick somebody anyway.
00:49 So as long as we don't have to put too many other people
00:52 on the block and have everybody mad, then we're okay.
00:55 So I think I became the easy pawn.
00:58 And I think because they realized that,
01:01 even though I didn't like it, I handled it well,
01:04 I didn't really hold grudges.
01:05 And so I just became an easy target.
01:08 I think I survived because I handled it well.
01:12 And in spite of getting put on the block,
01:15 every time I got on the block, I tried to just stay me.
01:18 Just not go off, not get an attitude,
01:22 not start fussing and cussing, but just, I stayed myself.
01:26 I stayed genuine to who I was.
01:28 And I think that really just was what survived me.
01:31 And then my little faith of a mustard seed,
01:34 I just kept saying, come on, God, you brought me here.
01:38 You meant for me to stay in this house for a minute.
01:40 So I'm gonna keep staying.
01:42 And I think just the fact that I believe that,
01:45 my actions played into that.
01:48 I'm shocked to see Bowie Jane in the final three.
01:52 All along, we kept saying,
01:54 how did we let Bowie Jane go this far?
01:58 But I got to applaud her.
02:00 Bowie Jane never hit the block.
02:01 That was something stupid that those guys did in the end.
02:04 Instead of throwing me on the block,
02:05 you need to think about putting Bowie Jane there.
02:08 You just gave her more ammo for her resume.
02:11 But I think they thought at some point
02:13 they were gonna get rid of her.
02:14 Then I think at some point they thought,
02:16 well, she's an easy target to take to the end.
02:20 But what they didn't anticipate
02:21 was she was gonna win two more HOHs
02:23 and never hit the block.
02:25 And then it's like,
02:26 ah, the very thing that you thought
02:28 was gonna carry her to the end
02:29 and let you make her the easy target to go home,
02:31 might be the thing that actually helps her win the game.
02:34 (laughing)
02:38 Ooh, 'cause every once in a while
02:40 when Mr. B would get irritated with me
02:42 and he'd tell me, "Stop that."
02:43 Or he'd tell me, "Move your mic."
02:45 Or, "Go get a new mic."
02:46 And it was like, come on.
02:48 Actually, Mr. B was good to me.
02:51 I really don't have any complaints about Mr. B
02:54 because for the most part,
02:56 he honored all of my requests.
02:59 And he did it with grace.
03:02 And he usually was very timely when I say,
03:05 "Okay, Mr. B, you know I ain't got no more milk now.
03:09 I don't know what's going on.
03:10 Everybody else got what they want.
03:12 I got this cheap tea that's floating around in my cup.
03:16 Can I get some stuff?
03:17 Everybody else got what they want.
03:18 I need you to help us to stay out.
03:19 I'm trying to help everybody else.
03:21 You gotta help me."
03:22 Mr. B was always good to me.
03:25 And so I love me some.
03:28 That's probably my greatest memory
03:30 of this whole experience,
03:31 my relationship with Mr. B.
03:33 You know, I had to laugh.
03:37 Now, here's the thing.
03:38 I knew Serri had a foot thing
03:40 and don't like people doing nothing with feet on her bed.
03:43 But I forgot, that shows you how comfortable we got.
03:47 It's like, girl, you're like my sister.
03:48 I'm supposed to be able to cut my toenails on the bed
03:50 and you'll be okay.
03:51 We farted on each other's beds,
03:53 even though she got mad when I farted on hers.
03:56 She farted on mine a couple of times.
03:58 It was just, so the relationship was crazy.
04:01 And yeah, she made me get off her bed
04:04 when she realized I was cutting my toenails
04:07 and all I could do was laugh.
04:08 It's like, "I'm your sister.
04:10 You're supposed to allow this type of thing.
04:12 This is what sisters do."
04:14 So it was a funny that we both hollered at.
04:18 But yeah, I knew that was irritating
04:20 'cause she really did not like feet at all.
04:23 (whooshing)
