Big Brother’s Angela Murray was the second houseguest to be evicted during the September 26 double eviction episode. The TV Watercooler had the opportunity to submit questions for this week’s jury pool and Angela shares what she’s most looking forward to discussing with her fellow jury members, if she regrets confronting Matt, and also highlights her emotional journey and her admiration for Kimo’s gameplay.
What are you looking forward to discussing the most with the other jury members?
The thing that I’m looking forward to discussing the most with the other jury members is just how the double eviction went down, and how quickly I realized that people were running to the rooms, dispersing, and getting away from me because they had a strategy in mind. I think they all knew that if it came down to it, that Chelsie, Makensy, and Cam had it all planned out. They had already made me feel like I was a pawn and they made Kimo feel like he was a pawn before that final veto.
I can’t wait to fill them all in on the double eviction and what my perception of the houseguests were in that moment. I look forward to sharing that with Leah, Quinn, and T’Kor.
Looking back, do you have any regrets on confronting Matt?
No, I don’t. It could have been the very thing that got me evicted from the house almost right away. It was something that I had to spend a lot of the game apologizing for and trying to recover, but I will never, ever, feel as though I should not have stood up for myself.
In the moment, it was high pressure, emotions, adrenaline, and sleep deprivation. So, I’m not sure on how aggressive Matt’s words were to me at that moment, but being in there at that moment, I could tell you they felt strong. They felt aggressive and it put me in a spiral. I don’t regret confronting him and parading what he had done and what he had said to me. I don’t regret it.
Some highlights from the other questions that Angela answered:
Emotional Gameplay: Angela acknowledged that her explosive moments in the house were driven by raw emotion and not a calculated strategy: “It was very, very, very difficult for me. It was probably some of the most trying times in my life going through some of the situations that I did in the house.”
“That house was a pressure cooker. In life, I generally wear my heart on my sleeve. Am I this emotional and cry every day in life? No. It takes a little more than what was happening to me outside of this house to cry like that and to be emotional. I don’t think that the crying was manipulative. If that’s the way it was perceived, it was not my intent.”
Admiration for Kimo: Angela believes that Kimo is playing the best game and praises his likeability, strategic moves, and genuine enjoyment of the Big Brother experience:
“I think Kimo’s a very likable person and brings a lot of joy to the house. He aligned early with people and put himself in a situation where he was kind of a target but managed to keep himself safe.
He continues to surprise me with his grit, tenacity, and his sheer enjoyment of the game. The guy is just on the ride of a lifetime, and he is having so much fun! I’m so proud of him and I could truly see him going to the end.”
Who Her Target Would Have Been: Had Angela remained in the house, she would have targeted Chelsie due to her perceived dishonesty and manipulation: “I probably would have sent Chelsie home. She lied several times in this game. She twisted and manipulated my words to my very closest ally in the house, Leah.
She hurt Leah and Leah thought that I hurt her. I didn’t! That was something that I was holding onto and had I have stayed; I would have put Chelsie to the block and hopefully out the door!”
Big Brother next airs this Thursday, October 3 at 8 p.m. ET/PT for a 2-hour episode on Global and CBS.
