‘Big Brother Canada 4’ exit interview: Mitch Moffit on potential moves, Veto campaign, and much more

This week on “Big Brother Canada” was probably one of the sadder moments that we’ve had as a viewer of the show the past few years, mostly because Mitch Moffit was someone who was insanely easy to root for. He was smart, charismatic, and playing a heck of a great game. The primarily thing that held him back was a twist that blew up the majority of his game. Kelsey outed him as the biggest threat in the house by a mile, and with Raul as Head of Household and the Third Wheel in power, he really couldn’t recover from that.

Despite being evicted in such a frustrating fashion Mitch was still upbeat in our exit interview today as he talked about his game, certain strategies, and who he thinks could be coming out next.

CarterMatt – Is there a move you wish you had made this past week, but didn’t?

Mitch Moffit – I had a couple of things I did want to do. I wanted to get rid of the threesome’s cigarettes to make them go crazy (laughs), and I had an idea that I could destroy something of mine. Raul liked to play a lot of pranks in the game on people, and I thought that if I could taint his image and claim that he destroyed something of mine, thinking it was a prank, and then saying that [the Third Wheel] were ‘bad people,’ and ‘why do you want to side with the bad people in the game,’ but I thought that could have gone wrong. I don’t know if that would have worked the way I wanted.

Finally, it was revealing what I actually do for a job in the way that people would perceive me as less of a final threat because ‘who wants to give Mitch the money when someone needs it more, when somebody else doesn’t have something established yet? Let’s give it to somebody who came here for different reasons.’ That was sort of my last move I might have done, but I realized that everyone in the house would have reacted differently, and I couldn’t predict one unanimous reaction. Some people might have thought ‘that means I want to bring him to the end,’ and other people may have thought ‘he’s against Joel; let’s keep Joel because Mitch doesn’t need this.’

Because in my mind I couldn’t come up with a clear consensus of what would’ve happened, that’s why I didn’t do that.

When you lost the Veto and Jared won it, did you think you had a chance of convincing him to use it?

Yeah! In that moment I was bummed because I really wanted to win that. It was excruciating to play a game that was based on luck and have that [determine things]. I would’ve felt better about losing a physical challenge to them, but even in the roulette round where I got 20 and Raul got 21, it was disheartening. I was like ‘this whole round’s been about luck when my whole game has been about being logical and analytical.’

But, I still did think there was hope that if anyone out there had won it, I was willing to do whatever I had to do. Because Jared won, I knew it had to be through Raul since I had such an emotional connection to him. Right up until the moment I knew the Veto was hours away and it probably wouldn’t be used on me, I tried every angle I could on Raul in terms of making him feel guilty and sad that I never would’ve betrayed him — which was true, I would never have betrayed him. I wanted him to feel embarrassed and to know that I would not have done that to him. Those angles were not working.

I did have an opportunity to try to get that Veto used on me, but at the end of the day I knew it wasn’t going to be used on me and that’s why I switched gears.

Who do you think will join you in the jury house next?

I certainly hope it is one of the threesome, or the brothers. The threesome because that would mean that other people will have woken up and taken them out, and that will make me happy because I do feel that if people let the threesome fly by one more round, one of those three at least will be in the final three and potentially win this game, which isn’t a bad thing and I’ll still respect them for that, but I think for everyone else’s game I’d like to see something [different].

For me, the brothers were just sort of the most oblivious to what was going on in the house, and the most willfully blind to what people were saying to their faces. Everyone still can do well because the next HoH will define the next two rounds, but I know a lot of people in the house have the brothers on their radar, but they haven’t [made the move on them]. It’d be somewhat satisfying to see them walk in there.
