You can call Angela Murray a drama queen. You can call her a kooky Karen. You can can her an inspiration to older women everywhere. You can call her fun and entertaining but what you cannot call her is boring.

With her reputation and her previous gameplay proceeding her, returning houseguest Angela began another Big Brother journey that lasted approximately two months in the game. Not too shabby for one of the most controversial houseguests in Big Brother history. Angela is off to the jury house to reunite with her close friend LaLa but before she does, she had this to say to us.

John Powell: What do you think about Barrett as a person and as a player after what happened this week?

Angela Murray: Oh, good question. Well, it’s very easy for me to start with Barrett, the person. Barrett is kind. He’s like a gentle giant. He’s so smart and funny and witty. He just has so much to share.
He’s really fun to talk to and he’s definitely a family man. He loves his mom and his dad and his siblings and his nieces and nephews. He’s just such a good person and I really loved and valued my time with him.

Now, Barrett as a player was so well insulated and almost carefree. It just breaks my heart that he didn’t see what he had. I mean, and this is something I regret from Season 26, even though I hated being at the bottom of some sort of an alliance, at least I was part of something that could have taken me that much further in the game instead of having nothing at all. I wish I had realized that then so I wish Barrett also would have realized that.

That was his thought: He felt he was at the bottom of our crossover alliance and I wish that he had just thought it through a little bit longer and said, “But hey, that gets me at least, you know, if we were able to do it, to the final five standing or something,” right?

I just wish that he had and I think, as a player, he made a big move. But was it the best move? Probably not, because now he’s public enemy number one in that house.

John Powell: When it comes to Survivor versus Big Brother players and how they compete, what do you think is the biggest difference

Angela Murray: You know, being a fan of both shows, I can see how Survivor players have really had hard, in-the-sand, blood, sweat and tears kinds of challenges. So I think they’re a little bit more rough-and-tumble.

Where maybe the Big Brother players are more like adult Nickelodeon. You know, we’ve got slime, we’ve got obstacles and things like that and we do have puzzles.

But I think the big difference is that blood, sweat and tears going into every single challenge and that might be the last challenge you play because it’s so quick on Survivor, where people are leaving and dropping like flies.

We’re on Big Brother. I mean, we have a whole week to ponder things and all of that.

So maybe the Survivor players are just a little bit better at getting things done a little bit more swiftly. I don’t know. They just get in there and they play really, really hard, I think, opposed to Big Brother, and that’s just my experience this time around.

John Powell: Who do you hope joins you in the jury house and why?

Angela Murray: Oh, I’m kind of hoping it’s a double eviction, and it’s Drew, if I can ever be so lucky, and Barrett.

And the reason why is I’d love to see their move because I feel like definitely Drew is a part of that. I’d love to see their move backfire on them and them having the regret of a lifetime about $750,000 slipping through their grasp because they wanted to make a big move!

John Powell: Do you think your reputation from Season 26 preceded you going into Season 28?

Angela Murray: Oh my gosh! Yes, yes, it does. And you know what? It should. It should because I do play messy. I do play with my heart on my sleeve. I do live out loud and I am a louder person.

So I knew I would have a target on my back from the moment I walked through that door and that I would have to definitely change people’s minds about me and show them who I am.

Show them who I am and be a friend, be a confidant, be funny, be witty, be outlandish and all the things that encompass who I am.

And just be unapologetically myself and they would either love me or hate me. They would have their own experiences to judge me in the house.

Now, did I show signs and examples of Season 26 Angela? Yeah, I did. So they were getting a taste of it but they also saw that afterwards I would try to, you know, it happened. Let’s work this out. We have to live together, kind of thing.

John Powell: Do you think you have difficulty getting along with or trusting some of the younger players in the house?

Angela Murray: No, because if I did, then how could I survive this long?

I mean, Devens is 11 years younger than myself. Eleven. Dee is so much younger. She is like—and I mean, I don’t know how anyone could think that because, you know, when you go and you’re an older person like myself and you go into the house to play Big Brother, you know you are going to play with young people.

So that’s the pull. And so, of course, there would be people you aren’t going to trust. It doesn’t matter their age.

It just matters who they are and what they’re demonstrating. So I feel like I put a lot of trust in a lot of young people that were there.

 So no, I don’t think I have trouble relating to or trusting younger people. It’s just who they are and how they’re playing.

It’s the pull, and I know I’m going to play with younger people being the older person, so you have to put trust in people, and I did put trust in younger people.
