Big Brother Canada 5 – Jackie McCurrach interview: Being alone in the game
In the second of our Big Brother Canada exit interviews today (check out the first with William and Dre here), we had a chance to get Jackie’s take on a few different things such as her plans for the future and what it was like playing the game largely by herself.
CarterMatt – If Ika was evicted and you won HoH, who would you go after and why?
Jackie – I would have nominated Demetres and Kevin. Demetres has been a comp beast — I give him props for it. He’s been able to take himself off the block and he’s won three HoHs. That’s ridiculous. Kevin, I was really disappointed in him putting me on the block at the end of the day, and he’s a very smart player. Very sneaky and very strategic with every single move that he’s made.
If I had to name a replacement nominee, I’d probably put up Dillon just because he was being very sketchy with me the last week.
Who did you feel the closest to in the game?
It’s a hard question because I would feel close to someone, and then they would leave the house. I was close to Cassandra and then she was gone, and then I started to get close to Emily before she left. Same thing with Neda. I probably felt the closest with Neda — I started to form a close relationship with her before she left.
Before I left, Dre and I started to have a good bond with each other. We started to rebuild our relationship. If I had stayed, she was someone I really wanted to work with moving forward.
What did you find the most difficult about being on the show this season?
Being alone was very difficult. I would look around and see everyone having their alliances and having fun. I never really had that. I never really had that someone who I could sit down with and open up to and not think that they were going to use what I said against me. It wasn’t fun in that sense. I would think about back home, and how I have my family and my boyfriend and my friends that love and miss me.
At the end of the day I’m proud of who I am and what I did because I went into the game thinking I needed people to move far. At the end of the day, I got where I am alone. I’m surprised and proud of myself for doing it.
