Lauren Exit Interview:
1) Wow! You went from being largely untargeted (except for a couple nom points here and there) to being on the block and out the door against Logan. You seemed kind of shocked to be nominated. What was going through your head when you fell into danger?
When I fell into danger I was like "Well, shit, this is it" because do you really expect me to actually win a poll against a spammer who can spam faster than the flash? I don't. But I know for a fact that all those "I'm voting Lauren bc I'm too gullible to realize I'm not Chanelle's bitch" 's and "I'm voting Lauren because I'm taking a white-level as a threat so I can be X's multi" 's are the truth from the flat-out hysterical lies to replace that they're X's slaves.
2) We'll get to your gameplay in a minute, BUT... I pointed this out numerous times (honestly, no shade intended... I casted you because you seemed to be very promising)-- you are a WHITE LEVEL in a spamming-oriented game! Did you anticipate this to be a problem? Did you ever consider milking that fact so that people would save you for an easy beat in the final?
Yeah, I figured that. I did, yeah. It was always going to be a problem. But I would never milk it, no. My biggest pet peeve is in fishing for compliments. Like when someone posts *cries* or *cries in ___ arms* 10 times in 2 minutes, it does my head in.
But I do have some close friends that I can PM, and I'd ask them to tell their friends too. Then I would get a bigger majority.
Also, WHY do you think housemates like Malachi thought you'd win this game when you had no means of spamming?
Because it was an excuse to cover up the fact that they are X's worshippers. There's no way I could win this, and I'm not fishing for compliments.
3) You had such a STRONG social game in that house, and you yourself in your spar of words with X said that you were under-the-radar. Walk myself, and anyone watching, through your strategy. What was your plan throughout the game, and did it ever change?
It never changed, no. I would make alliances with people, pick what I'd think was the right decision, and get through. I never expected it to be easy, but who can?
4) You had lots of blow-ups when you walked out the door (especially with X). You also got accused of fake info (like being Chanelle's multi). Who do you think is starting these rumors, who do you think orchestrated your eviction, and are you leaving with any bad blood?
OMG SEE? IN YOUR FACE, X! IT'S FAKE INFO! EVEN THE HOST SAID IT!
Of course I'll be angry at X. But apart from that, no. Cam had a pretty dumb reason for voting me (just tell the truth Cam) so I dislike him for that. Apart from that, I respected people's decisions, although Nopalito never actually gave a reason for why he voted me and Chanelle.
5) It seemed like you were constantly trying to get "in" with people, but you remained an outsider for much of the game. Did you manage to make any friendships?
Of course! Hard work pays off. I'd be close with Yandere, Dylan, Aimee, Nicole, Nopalito and Honey from my point of view. I probably have more, but they're the ones off the top of my head.
6) Who is playing the best game in the house right now?
Nopalito, Aimee and Honey. No questions asked. They are definitely going to get far.
7) You came into this game as a rookie (last female rookie standing!) and you seemed to slowly adjust to house dynamics. Looking back, do you have any regrets, and/or final thoughts?
Yes bitches! Last female rookie! Trust me though, I don't plan on being a rookie for long..
I definitely have regrets. Like I regret I didn't vote X all this time. That's pretty obvious. I don't regret not officially picking a side, though. Never in a million years. I made friends from both sides, and I would never try and lose them.
In my opinion, you were the most outright normal, level-headed player in this season of BBUK. I loved having you on this season, because you didn't do what so many other people do, which is over-strategize and/or freak out, while still delivering as a housemate!
I sincerely hope to see you in the future, Lauren-- and hopefully you'll be at a yellow level next time so that you have a little more chance to survive the polls!
Thanks you, and we'll see you at the live finale/reunion when we crown the winner!
Thank you so much! Now I'm off to see my long lost friends and have some fine wine!
