You know Jackie Ibarra from season 17. Did that help you get on the show?
How do you know that? No one has asked me that! But it didn’t help me get on the show. I was cast for my personality and who I am. I auditioned last year and was an alternate.
Who were you an alternate for?
They didn’t say who, but probably Jessica [Graf]. But I worked my way from an open casting call without knowing anyone. I knew Jackie, but she had no pull or anything and no houseguest really does.
What was your take on season 19?
I dodged a bullet. At first I thought the cast was amazing and I was jealous, but as the season went on I was afraid I would fall into the same trap that everybody else did. Last year, I would have been a little bit more scared. This year, I’m more prepared.
How will you handle confrontation?
If they’re demeaniing me in a negative way and I really need to stand up for myself then I might yell back. I want to avoid being nasty, but I do believe in standing up for myself.
Will you be in a showmance?
I’m open to a showmance, but I’m definitely going in with my eye on the prize.
If you’re on the nomination block what’s your final plea to stay in the game?
You thank everybody and say, “If I’ve offended anybody I’m truly sorry. I came here to play a game and that’s what I did.” You act like they have the power and you don’t.
What has been the worst move ever made on the show?
When Marcellas [Reynolds] didn’t use the veto on himself and got evicted.
What about the best move?
Dan’s funeral and just Dan in general. Evel Dick is my favorite player of all time.
He tweeted about you last year.
Look at you! (Laughs.) You know everything.
I saw your mugshot too.
What?! Oh my god, (laughs!) There’s not one.
What are you afraid of people seeing from you?
I walk like a duck!
What might viewers not like about you?
They might not get my humor. I could get edited in a bad way.
But you’re watched 24/7.
Don’t you blame it on that edit! (Laughs.)
Will you vote with the house or against the house?
I’ll throw some hinky votes and stir the pot here and there.
Rachel Reilly’s famous line is, “floaters grab a life vest.” Do you have a catch phrase lined up?
You better go! You better go! #Youbettergo, (laughs)!
