“He’s probably gonna be a little disappointed because he’s invested.”
ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY:Were you frustrated that everyone figured you out so soon?
Have you talked to your dad about your elimination?

No, I haven’t.
He is enjoying watching the show.
He’s probably gonna be a little disappointed because he’s invested.
What did he say when you told him you were doing the show in the first place?
Do you think openly admitting that you and Monay were playing Jane led to your downfall?
No, I was already a target….
I was very nervous the entire time I was in the house, honestly.
Tell me more about your strategy.
I was sort of thinking two eliminations in advance.
I was hoping that [Jane] would be right about Chris.
I really wasn’t sure who Chris was related to at all.
Elvis sounded good to me because I had no idea.
It seemed like you had Cole wrapped around your little finger.
Did you have any indication that he was going to choose you instead of Karsyn?
There was definitely some reservation there just because Cole was a little bit more in the middle.
After you left, Monay said to Cole, “That was your girlfriend.
That’s nuts,” almost as a warning that the target is on him now.
Did you talk to her before to say if he does cross you to go after him?
Monay and I had just sort of an understanding and loyalty to each other in that game.
When I hugged her, I think I told her to get him out next.
She’s definitely someone that I could have counted on to do that for me.
What led to your instant bond with Monay?
It ended up growing from there.
Did you get the impression that Cole really thought there was a romance between you two?
I think we both were playing the game.
Anything you would have done differently from day one, knowing now how it all went down?
