After Dick treated you so poorly, you aligned with him and Daniele. What were you thinking, and why did you do it?
[After Kail was gone], at that point I wasn't aligning with Dick and Daniele — that's when Dick and Daniele were both on the block, and Dick was supposed to go home and I was definitely willing to work with Daniele because I thought that Daniele and I would be an amazing partnership. Obviously we both would do really well in the competitions, we both have different skills in the competitions, and I honestly thought it would have worked out really well. I always told her I cannot work with your dad, I just can't. That definitely was repeated multiple times.

But you knew if you were working with her you were in effect working with Dick as well.
Well, he was supposed to be leaving, and so I wouldn't be working with him — it was his leaving that was going to make it so that [Daniele and I] were together. And had he left I think that it would have worked out. Whatever.

Do you regret it?
Yeah. I think that was my worst play in the game, not evicting Dick out of the house that week.

You told the other houseguests that Big Brother told you that you could destroy Dick's cigarettes. When did that happen?
The problem was that it was before [I went into the house], and I asked — because I don't like smoking and I didn't want to be in the house with any smokers — if I could throw someone's cigarettes in the pool, and I was informed that yes, you would be able to do that. So when I wasn't able to I got very upset, and that's why I was crying and that's why I ate. That's what led to a lot of things — I get upset when I'm told something and I'm not able to do it, and it makes me look a fool. Obviously I don't appreciate it and I don't like it.

What happened after you threw them in the trash?
I just got called in and they said you can't do that, and I cried and whined for hours, and then that was that. Then I went and ate, and then I got yelled at again.

What did BB say to you when you were reprimanded for the cigarettes and breaking the slop rule?
I don't know — it was a long period of events and I don't really remember the actual words.

You handled everything up until that point with amazing equanimity — what was it about that night that drove you to snap? Had you just had enough?
It honestly had nothing to do with Dick — I know he wishes that it was. But it actually was just the sheer fact that I thought I could destroy the cigarettes and I couldn't and it really upset me that I thought that I was going to be able to, and I looked dumb for doing something that I thought I was allowed to do. It just bothered me. It wasn't Dick, it was honestly just the pure fact that I wouldn't have done anything that I wasn't supposed to do had I known. One thing led to another and I just got mad — it was not a good night for me. It was actually all in the course of one night. It was whenever the girls were gone on their outing — Monday or Tuesday.

Do you consider yourself friends with anyone who is still in the house?
Um, well, see, I'm always friendly with anyone even if they're mean to me. I don't know, I would think that I'm still friendly with Jameka, and it goes on and off with Amber... Jessica is really two-faced, but she's nice to me, and she is, like, fun sometimes — but most times she just sleeps. I don't know. I was friendly with Eric — but he's almost on the level with Dick where he's just so mean for fake [reasons]... I'm a real person, and I don't deserve to be treated this way, I don't care if it's for the game. That's why I stated that I didn't fit in the house because I just couldn't be fake like almost everyone else was being. I was just being me.

It was odd that Eric was so rude to you when you were leaving the house, but then his goodbye message was very friendly. What did you make of that?
This is Eric's strategy: He wants everyone in the house to think that everyone that leaves for sequester hates him. He actually tells people that in his goodbye speeches he [says] mean things so that way they'll think, ''Oh, if I bring Eric to the final two everyone will hate him and I'll win.'' Then in his goodbye speeches he's like, ''Oh, we had our good times...'' It's just game strategy to get votes and stay in the game.

You said to people in the house that you felt when Daniele was on slop, Big Brother gave everyone more days off than they did when you were on slop.
I think that was just because sometimes we get a meal for random reasons — like we got locked out for too long or the veto competition went on a really long time... It's just that every time Daniele happened to be on slop, somehow in the middle of the week we got a free slop day. I didn't really mind, because obviously she shouldn't be on slop because she would die. But I was never on slop with her, so it was just weird to see. But whatever.

Finally, the most important question: Did you get to keep the unitard?
I have the unitard and I'm keeping it.

Thanks for talking to us, Jen. I hope you have a relaxing time in sequester, and I'll be rooting for anyone but Dick to win.
That makes two of us.
