The latest victim of Pandora's Box was the Sherriff from
Texarkana, Kathy Hillis. Kathy was the latest person to be evicted
from the Big Brother house after a surprise twist to the game, when
Matt, who was on the block fighting for his life, pulled out his
Diamond Power of Veto which he had won after opening his Pandora's
Box. The DPoV gave Matt the opportunity to take himself off the
chopping block and replace it with someone else. That someone else
was Kathy, who, most houseguests felt was floating through the
game.
Kathy was thought to be more the mum of the group, than a
competitor, having won no competitions. And in her final days,
unbeknownst to Kathy, the house was convinced she was the saboteur.
Kathy will be remembered for getting stuck in a sticky situation -
literally. During a luxury competition, Kathy was unable to
navigate through sticky caramel, and instead of fighting, lay there
in a helpless composition as her teammates watched on
helplessly. We chatted with Kathy about her surprise
eviction, the jury house and how she felt about being a
floater.
Following your surprising eviction do you find yourself
angry and mad at how the game played out?
No - I'm not angry. I'm a little heartbroken since I didn't have
a chance being the victim on the Diamond Power of Veto.
Do you hold a grudge against Matt for what he
did?
Absolutely not!
If Matt makes it to the final two, will his decision to
put you on the block affect how you decide the winner?
Absolutely not!
You'll be going to the jury house and reuniting with
Rachel, how do you feel about Rachel's game play in the game and
did it affect you at all?
Rachel's gameplay - I did not approve of. She said some very
hurtful and malicious things to other houseguests that I didn't
approve of. I think that she will regret later on in life the
things that she said to other people.
What was it like having Rachel back in the house for 24
hours?
It was absolutely horrible. Rachel came in angry and she took
something that could have been a positive opportunity in her life
and turned it into a negative. In my eyes, she maliciously attacked
other houseguests in a way that was unacceptable.
You and Rachel had quite an outburst after the Power of Veto
competition because you cheered when you won. She demanded an
apology but you wouldn't back down - why not?
Because she didn't deserve an apology. I'm not going to give
someone an apology and it be a lie. I stay strong on what I believe
in and I didn't think she deserved an apology.
What did you think of the saboteur twist and did it affect your
game at all?
I did not like the saboteur twist. The saboteur did not
affect my game.
Who were you closest to in the house throughout the
game?
Kristen.
What was your strategy while in the house?
My strategy in the game was to be myself and to not go in as a
strong competitor and hold off until the middle of the game to
start playing hard.
What was the hardest thing about being in the Big Brother
house?
Missing my family, friends, coworkers and having no communication
with them was horrible. You do not realize how much happiness that
brings to you until it is taken away.
Were you disappointed that you didn't win any HoH
competitions while you were in the house?
No - not at that point in the game was I disappointed. I would have
tried a little harder from this point on to win HOH. That is
why Rachel is gone and Matt was on the block.
You were thought of as a floater in the game, do you agree
with that statement or were you unwilling to make an alliance with
anyone?
I was not a floater. I just didn't make an alliance with anyone at
that point in the game. I think that alliances should be made later
on. That is why I am sitting here.
Can you tell me a little bit about the week that you were
on the block with Andrew. It looked as if you were going home and
then Andrew sabotaged himself. What was that week like for
you?
That week was very hard. It was emotionally draining. All I could
do was hope and pray that I could speak to each houseguest and
explain my views and reasons for being in the house.
