Part 2
Tim
Q: How does it feel to have made it to the top three?
TD: Oh my god, it feels amazing! I can’t believe I got this far, I honestly never expected any of this, it’s all so crazy.
Q: Run me through this last week and the moment you decided to give up in the HoH competition. You told Arisa you wanted one of the other houseguests to feel what it’s like to win.
TD: Oh god, I know. It was a constant tension in my own head: do I actually want to win? What does it mean to win? I didn’t know how to play and everyone said this is how, you make an alliance, lie, slander, and on top of it all, win competitions.
That’s not the game I came from. I tried it and held back on manipulating, which I could’ve done more of but it didn’t feel true to me. I was allies with Cassandra and Joel and I believed in us, I believed in being outsiders and being strong. We changed things in the game, but we also fell apart when Joel decided to take a better deal, which made me doubt everything.
I should’ve played my own game and have taken fate into my own hands. But do I actually want to win? Literally, in that moment, I was thinking that. I had already done this and achieved what I wanted. It was never my dream to win Big Brother Canada. I was invited, I played alongside people whose dream it was and they wanted it more than me. I didn’t want to take it away.
Q: Will you ever do Big Brother again, for a third time?
TD: (
laughs) It’s like a drug! How do you say no? I’ll always chase that first high of winning Big Brother Australia, so of course, I would do it again. But could you beat doing it in another place? I don’t know, it’s all been such a crazy experience. If there were a Big Brother World, I would. Oh my god, if there were a Big Brother Universe, I would, and we could play in space!
Q: You and Cassandra had a super tight bond all season. Considering you let the ball drop in the HoH comp this week, do you regret not dropping out earlier for her?
TD: God, I know. I did think about that. … Yes, Cassandra and I had a very tight bond. We were so strong, and we worked better together than separate. On a friendship level, she was the first one who took me in, and said, ‘I’m weird, too, let’s be weird together.’ She’s such a misfit, and at the end of the day, it came down to do I give up my place to someone whose game play I don’t agree with? Because I didn’t agree with her lies, and I couldn’t always trust her.
Walking away would mean that I supported her. I know it’s confusing, but I did what Tim wanted to do right now. Cassandra could’ve won the game if she went all the way, but am I the reason she didn’t? No, that would’ve happened anyway.
Q: Was your relationship ever a romantic one?
TD: She’s a very attractive girl, and on paper, everything I want in a woman. I met her and I thought, I can’t handle this! She’s not someone I can trust, and I have to look after my own heart. We’ll be friends in the outside world, and we will be a duo forever. But, you know Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie? Mr. and Mrs. Smith? That’s us, we would kill each other.
Cassandra
Q: What was this last week like for you, particularly that last PoV that sent you packing?
CS: It’s surreal to be outside, and just talk to and see other people. It’s so weird. But oh man, yes, it was a major punch to the gut. The boys were beasts, and you know what, Nick is just so quick. He had been studying a lot, so it happens, it was fate.
Q: As one of the more underestimated players in Big Brother Canada history, would you say it makes a big difference to go into this game with prior Big Brother knowledge?
CS: No, you know what, not necessarily. Last season’s winner, Jon, wasn’t a superfan and he won the game. You learn as you go through it, and some people do better than others no matter how much they know going in.
I was always thinking at all times, always thinking what I can do next. People either love me or hate me, but I found those who had common interests … and I made it work.
Q: The Threekshow was an impressively tight alliance for a very long time. How did you keep so close for so long?
CS: I had 100 per cent trust in both of those boys, and they each felt they would take me to the end. They were such great friends as well, and I had total loyalty for them. We were a great alliance, we always had the voting majority and the other unbreakable bond’s mistake was being so known. We always stayed a secret and that’s where we excelled.
Q: The day you took Tim off the block with your PoV win was a big moment. Did you ever plan to side with the brothers and not save Tim?
CS: Oh my god, I loved that day so much! I mean, I thought about it for a split second, but not really. I always knew I would use it on Tim, and even though I knew Joel was 100 per cent loyal to me, I had to secure it for myself. And I had lied to them before, telling them what they wanted to hear and they still continued to believe me. Why change that now?
There’s nothing wrong with lying in the house and anyone who watches the show knows the best players have lied in the game. I even asked the brothers on finale night the best lie they told and they couldn’t answer me.
Q: Your bond with Tim has been airtight. How did that come about and do you see it going on outside the house? Was there ever any romance to it?
CS: We are 100 per cent friends, I call him my little brother. That really annoys him. (
cackles) When he came into the house, it was day seven. I remember thinking, ‘who am I going to work with?’ I wanted to have total trust in someone, and he was so great, so fun, and we had a lot in common, we connected in so many ways. I couldn’t have played with anyone else.
Q: How did you feel finding out yesterday that Tim essentially gave up in the HoH competition?
CS: I knew he didn’t know any of the facts, he didn’t study anything. So I expected it, I was so upset; it was the final three, if only he had studied.
I wanted Tim to win, he would’ve had everyone’s votes. So when it came time to vote, it was a rock and a hard place. I don’t think the brothers deserved to win, but Kelsey played a very personal game, and the brothers played a slightly more strategic one. Oh well.

We now know why Tim didn't give up his spot for Cass.
