‘Big Brother 17’ finale: Audrey Middleton on Steve’s game, regrets, more in backyard chat

Even though she has been out of the “Big Brother” house for a little while now, we still feel like Audrey Middleton is someone who merits hearing more from. She has big opinions and loves the game, and with that, she was one backyard interview from the finale we were thoroughly excited to hear.

We’re not there in person, but we do want to give you at least a few assorted highlights from some of the conversations with Big Jeff from the CBS live feeds.

On being back – “It’s weird. That’s all I can describe it as. It’s a little bit strange, deja vu, but it’s cool seeing the final competition, especially as a superfan. I love it. I want to smell the grass again.”

On regrets – “I would not not wear my blanket. That was iconic … I went out early, but I was the most memorable!

On the final two – “I was a little surprised, I’m not going to lie. I thought Vanessa was going to make it to the end … Steve did not flinch, he did not puke when he got rid of Vanessa. He liked it! … He had his stuff together. He came to play the game, and he was very transparent. I would have voted for him.

On what’s next – “I’m doing a lot of public speaking. It’s a work in progress! I’m trying to get more comfortable with it. I cried mid-speech [with Julie] … I just blacked out. I couldn’t articulate what the fans have given me … As crazy as it was, I’d do it again.”
