Ollie’s Exit Interview With EW.com
Exit Interview with ‘Big Brother 10’s Ollie
For the record, Big Brother fans, Ollie is his last name and Bryan is his first! Since there was already a Brian in the house, CBS didn’t want you to get confused! Wasn’t that nice? Now that we’ve got that cleared up, let’s talk to the 27-year-old marketing sales rep from Iowa about how Dan gave him the total shaft.
ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY: So are you willing to admit you got played bigtime?
Bryan Ollie: Uh, I just let my heart get in the way of the game. That was a mistake on my part.
Now that you’ve had the night to think about it, how do you feel about Dan’s game play now?
I don’t feel any different than I felt before. Everyone does what they can to make an impact, but his decision could come back and backfire. I could come back to get him.
In retrospect, do you think you should have dangled on that rope a little longer during the HOH competition, or would you have trusted Dan all over again?
If I had to do it all over again, I would make the same deal [Editor's note: What the ??!@@**!?!]. My back was against the wall. I had to do anything I could at that point to gain a little leverage, to turn things around in the game. Obviously, it didn’t work in my favor, but in the same situation, I’d do the same thing again [Editor's note: See above].
What did you make of Dan’s shrewd decision to wear a hooded jacket to the competition?
I don’t think it was a coincidence that he’d show up in a winter coat in the middle of August in California. I don’t know if anyone else would think to bring something like that to California. I don’t think it was coincidence at all. It definitely played to his advantage.
Did you talk about it with other houseguests?
We talked about it during and after the competition. We were all a little suspicious. It’s still a question I’d like to get answered. Meanwhile, I was basically half-naked with a sleeveless shirt.

Michelle’s Exit Interview With EW.com
Exit Interview With ‘Big Brother 10’s Michelle
Look who got backdoored! EW.com talked to Big Brother’s Michelle Costa, the 28-year-old real estate agent from Rhode Island, about Dan’s devilish deal with Ollie, the red leotard, and what she hopes to say to Libra once she goes to the jury house.
ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY: Before I begin, I have to ask: Your bio says you were the only one to object at your brother’s wedding. Did it work? Did you stop the ceremony?
Michelle Costa: No, it didn’t work. They said I was the crazy sister who was upset at losing her brother, so they actually took me out of the church. Let’s put it this way: I didn’t like the girl, but they separated three years from the day they got married, so I was right on the money.
You don’t know who was evicted after you last night, right?
No! I can’t wait to see their face! I’m hoping it’s either Dan or one of the two girls so I can say, “I told you so!” They whisked me away, so I didn’t get to see anything.
You seemed really worked up while talking with Julie Chen. Did you sleep okay last night?
I didn’t get much sleep last night. I’m trying to put everything in perspective. I’m hoping it’s a big dream, and I’ll wake up and still be in the house. I just didn’t like the way I was put out of the house because of someone else’s deal. If they want to take me out, be man enough to say they wanted me out. They were honestly afraid of me. I wish they had the cojones to tell me that.
You thought that Dan was a plant in the house. So who planted him?
I thought he was a plant like America’s Player… but not really. The entire house thought he was. They just thought he couldn’t be that weird. He’s a Catholic school teacher — at least, I think he is. I don’t think he will be one when he’s done with the show.
That deal he made with Ollie was too good to be true. Shouldn’t your anger be directed toward Ollie for believing someone would basically hand all their HOH power to someone else?
When Ollie told me, I was like, “Shut up, you made this deal?” If this deal goes through, it will be the biggest ever in BB history or the biggest flop in BB history. I don’t know if Dan planned it from the beginning. I’m confused with Dan because he did a lot of things from the beginning of the show that were questionable. I should have put in him up when I was HOH, but I had other agendas.

Libra’s Exit Interview With EW.com
Q&A: ‘Big Brother’ evictee Libra: Jerry is a dirty old man!
Having been unanimously evicted last night, Libra Thompson is the first tenant of the Big Brother jury house! Since her job now is to figure who should win the $500,000, we can’t ask her about things she hasn’t seen or heard while playing the game — like who Renny, the new head of household, will put up for nomination on Sunday, or whether April is better looking than Keesha (seriously, like there’s even a question). But we can ask her about going to Hawaii, her thoughts about Jerry, and whether April was right to think she sucks at veto competitions.
POPWATCH: First, a question that I believe is on the mind of every woman who watches this show: Why does it seem like you and the other gals have endless supplies of clothing, and yet we only see you walk out with a relatively small gym bag?
LIBRA THOMPSON: I brought an enormous suitcase, over 100 pounds in weight. It was worth it for sure. You definitely need to have outfits to look as fresh as you can if you’re going to be in the house for three months. We also did a lot of mixing and matching.
Almost immediately, Julie hit you with the question about leaving your small children to play the game. How much was this an issue in the house? Did your fellow players talk about it?
My fellow players respected my decision. No one threw that in my face. They wouldn’t have the nerve. Most understood that at the end of the day, I could win $500,000 for my kids.
Let’s go back to that fateful veto competition when you took the Hawaiian trip away from Michelle. Did you give the letters a thought?
This is the most ridiculous thing to me, people asking me why I didn’t get the letter from home. You play the game with the idea that you’re going to eventually win HOH, and one of the perks of being HOH is getting a letter from home. In that moment I was thinking not only can I [eventually] win HOH, I can also get a trip to Hawaii!
Michelle was so angry.
She did not handle it well at all. She threw a tantrum and cried halfway through the night. I can honestly say that if the shoe was on the other foot, she would have taken the trip.

Jessie’s Exit Interiew With EW.com
Jessie Godderz: The (semi-unintelligible) ‘Big Brother’ exit interview
It was our hope to give you a revealing exit interview with Jessie Godderz, the latest evictee from the Big Brother 10 house (read a recap of last night’s show here), except we ran into a slight problem while transcribing his comments: most of them were unintelligible and made absolutely no sense! We tried to salvage what we could from the 22-year-old Huntington Beach, Calif., body builder, but please don’t blame us if you can’t entirely comprehend what he says about his workout regimen, his reasons for sleeping day and night, or why he stereotyped Jews via the BB webcam.
First things first: Please explain what a natural body builder is.
Even though I can still go into vitamin shops, there are still things inside those stores that I can’t take. The most potent I can take is creatine. I can’t take testosterone, I can’t take pro hormones. There is a list of banned drugs for this (type of body building competition. Ed note: Jessie goes on to name an obscure body building website where you can find these banned drugs but I began to coil up in a fetal position and was unable to write it all down). I take polygraph tests twice before a competition, a urinalysis right after I get off stage. That’s why I chose this organization (in which he participates). It was the most prestigious organization that I could find. That’s why I went into natural body building. I only use protein power, amino acids and food. They had the same protein in the house that I usually take.

Angie’s Exit Interview With EW.com
‘Big Brother’ Exit Q&A: Angie Swindell
Now that the 29-year-old pharmaceutical rep has been sent packing, she opens up to EW.com about her passionate exit speech as well as how she really feels about April, Keesha, and Libra
Angie Swindell — the 29-year-old pharmaceutical rep from Virginia — was unanimously booted from the Big Brother house last night. EW.com talks to her about her passionate exit speech (”I wanted to individualize everyone”), her thoughts about Jessie (”a very, very sweet individual”), and what she really thinks of Libra.
ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY: Wow, Julie Chen faked you out there at the end. Did you think Jessie was going to get voted out?
ANGIE SWINDELL: I was completely surprised. I first thought, ”Holy crap, my speech worked and I’m actually staying in the house.” Then she let me down very hard. I thought, ”Okay, well, it’s what I expected.”
What did you hope to accomplish with that final speech?
I really didn’t have a lot of pull as far as convincing Keesha, who had an emotional attachment to her alliance. She had said multiple times that she wasn’t there for the money. With that speech, I wanted to individualize everyone, to basically let them know that they have to start thinking for themselves and play for themselves. April and Libra are predominantly the glue that holds everybody together. They’ve infested the house. I had the best interest of all the players.
An 8-0 vote. Wow.
I had conversations with my alliance and told them they need to look out for themselves. A sympathy vote for me wouldn’t benefit them moving ahead.
In last night’s episode, the producers edited it in a way that made it look like there was a tidal wave of opposition towards Jessie. What happened in the house in the last two days?
Jessie is a very intense person who’s not afraid to speak up and share his point of view. When we got nominated, that alienated the four of us [Jessie, Michelle, Memphis, and Angie] from the others. When we didn’t win the POV, we were stuck between a rock and a hard place. As far as my strategy went, I tried to get Jessie worked up to get the target off my back. But Keesha and Libra really didn’t like me. They play emotionally, not strategically. No matter what Jessie did, I didn’t have a prayer. I was not trying to cater to their every need, sucking up to them, and that probably bothered them. I know April had mentioned that to everybody.
