PARTING WORDS

What was your first thought when you walked into the House and saw David?
I was kind of happy, just because I knew someone from home, and it was kind of a comfort to know I could maybe trust this one person. 

Did you think that he would be part of your strategy?
Yes, I did. I though David and I definitely would form some sort of alliance, because we do have history. 

What was the most difficult aspect of being on BIG BROTHER?
Not knowing who I could trust was very stressful. 

What personality trait is most important for winning this game? 
I think that being a manipulative backstabber and liar are the exact traits that you need in this game, especially to win. 

Knowing what you know now, whom should you have formed an alliance with?
I don't know. I was just unlucky, I think, because people went against Jee. I think that if I hadn't been put up as the pawn, things would have been a lot different, and I wouldn't have had to worry, because nobody really viewed me as a threat and wanted me out of the House. 

Which of the alliances is strongest, and why?
I think that Erika, Jack and David have the strongest alliance. 

What was your favorite moment in the BIG BROTHER House?
My favorite moment was at night with Jun, joking with Nathan and me all the time. She was very hilarious. 

Who would you like to see win?
I think I would want to see Jee, Justin or Robert win. 

Who do you think will win?
I'm leaning towards Jack. 

What advice would you give to future BIG BROTHER HouseGuests?
Be careful. Don't be out of the loop. Listen to people's conversations Don't trust anyone, and good luck!
