BBCAN3 - Willow MacDonald Exit Interview

May 16, 2015

What were you thinking when Brittnee nominated you, and looking back at it now, do you think that she nominated you as a pawn or to be sent out?

Willow: First, as soon as Brittnee made eye contact with me I was like “no, no”. I knew I was going up. I was just thinking like “what is she doing? This is the worst move”. I was thinking she is not thinking this through. At first, I was thinking this is not strategical but now I think that B saw me as a threat. I think she saw me getting super close with Sarah. I was playing everybody. She saw me as a kind of physical threat as well. I think she thought “I will put Willow up and if she goes home it is not the worst”. She didn’t say if I was a pawn or not. I truly believe she didn’t know at the time and she was like “we will see what happens”. Worst move ever I think though!

Looking back on it, do you feel that it was best for you to leave in an eviction where you were only on the block for a few minutes, as opposed to having to suffer up there for an entire week?

Willow: Obviously I was devastated. It killed to be up there but I needed closure. I needed to come to terms with it myself. I needed to realize that I’m not going to see Sarah for a while…talk her through and kind of boost her ego, give some advice and kind of say goodbye to the house and have my moment. I literally only had four minutes. I didn’t say goodbye to anyone. I’m regretting a lot of my last few minutes in that house. I wish I knew. I wish I had that week.

In terms of your jury vote, will your vote be based on gameplay or based on personal feelings, and is there anyone that you know that you would or would not vote for at this point?

Willow: I promised going into this house that I will vote for the best person who played the best game of Big Brother Canada Season 3, all emotions and all personal relationships aside. How did they get to Final 2? I want to hear all of that, hear all of the questions. Right now, obviously I am looking at Sarah is playing the best game. She has been a target but she gets her way out of it. She is so good at manipulating and with words. She is doing a fabulous job. I love the way she is playing it. I love my girl Pili from 902, Nova Scotia. I know how Pili plays. She doesn’t really play the game of Big Brother. It is a unique way of how she is playing it. It is not the best way, I believe, but again I need to see how they get to Final 2. I believe everybody has a fair chance right now.

Since making your way to the jury house, have you learned anything interesting or surprising that you didn’t know about while in the Big Brother house?

Willow: Well, I didn’t know that Sarah voted me out! Bruno just told me. I had no idea. I didn’t think anybody voted to keep me. I thought maybe Sarah gave me a vote, but I guess Zach and Bruno voted to keep me and Sarah was the one that sealed my fate. I’m learning all kinds of information. So surprising though if Sarah did do this, but you never know because it’s not coming from their mouth. Also, more alliances. I think I’m now up to 84 that have been in this season. And Kevin popped the balloon! I’m so pissed. I was holding that balloon and he popped it.

What is the atmosphere like in the jury house? Is everyone decompressing and enjoying themselves, or has the game continued on in there?

Willow: The atmosphere in the jury house, surprisingly, is that the game is over. We’re all like sharing secrets, making fun of each other, ripping on each other’s games. We’re like new people here. Bobby is enjoying himself way too much I think. He is loving it. I am still having a hard time with it…the way I went out, the way I didn’t get to say goodbye. You have good days and bad days but the atmosphere is surprisingly that the game is over and now we are having fun and just talking about everything. We are all friends! There is no hate.
