Big Brother 8
Joe
Eliminated July 19

Were you surprised to be back-doored?
Joe: I'm a little bitter. When Jen won HoH, I knew that I was one of three options for her. I was happy I got to play in the Veto competition but would have tried a little bit harder if I had known it was a sure thing I was going up.

What do you wish you'd done differently?
Joe: I wish I hadn't talked so much smack about Dustin, not only at the beginning but during the whole game. That sort of behavior really reflects on you in the house.

How do you feel about Dustin now?
Joe: I got closure with Dustin. All I ever wanted from him was to give me time to apologize for my behavior. All I've wanted to do for the last year of my life was apologize for ruining his life and making him cry for six months.

Clear it up for the record. Did Dustin give you gonorrhea?
Joe: The truth is that he did indeed give it to me. Either Dustin gave me gonorrhea or I had an immaculate conception of gonorrhea from the Lord Jesus Christ himself. And no, I don't regret saying that. It brings an issue to light in a society that's sexually active and isn't taking precautions. It's an important issue.

Are you rooting for him now?
Joe: No, no, no, no, no. He's dead to me. I'll never speak to him ever again.

Who's the strongest player in the game right now?
Joe: Jameka. She's set herself up with a broad base of allies in the house and she gets along well with everybody. She's really conscious of the aspects of the game without really showing that she's a gamer. She gets very little screen time. The people that get the most screen time like myself or Evel Dick are the first to go.

Is Jen as annoying as she seems?
Joe: However annoying she seems on TV, she's a million times more annoying in the house. But people want to keep her in. She's a constant distraction and then nobody pays attention to the other scheming going on.

What's next for you?
Joe: I'm extremely comfortable in front of the camera and would really love to do more. I hope this isn't the last anybody sees of me. I'm going to see what kinds of opportunities I can turn this into. I'm only 23, so hopefully this ride's just getting started.
