‘Big Brother 18’ finale: Natalie Negrotti on ‘wanting a girl to win’ (CBS backyard interview)

Natalie Negrotti was one of the more popular houseguests on “Big Brother” this season, and we do feel like there will be plenty of people ready to support her the moment she gets out of the house.

So what did she have to say about her game following the finale, and also the victory from Nicole? Jeff Schroeder talked to the former New York Jets cheerleader and AFP candidate in the backyard, and we’ve got some highlights for you below.

On voting for Nicole – “I really wanted a girl to win this season, and Nicole won.”

On the vote overall – “I felt it would be 50-50, but it was a really close tie … My vote wasn’t swayed. I voted based on how I felt about the person.”

On seeing James leave in third place – It was heartbreaking! I really wanted to make him the final two.

On being in the jury house – “I walked into an atomic bomb, but it blew over. I talked to everyone in the house. I was trying to chill and have fun.”

On after the show – “I’m going to follow my dreams, as corny as it sounds. I want to follow my dreams and see what it takes me. I love to entertain … I think [reality TV was really fun], so possibly [I’d do more].”

Nicole said that she’d have to think about appearing on “Over the Top” if she was asked, mostly because at this point, she’s really excited to get back and spend some time with her family, who she sorely misses.
