[00:01:11] [SPEAKER_04]: It was a big blindside on an emotional night. It's Cedric and we've got Cedric standing by.

[00:01:49] [SPEAKER_04]: Let's go ahead and bring in Cedric who's standing by.
[00:01:53] [SPEAKER_04]: Very excited to get the chance to chat with young Cedric is here. Rob says hi to Tarrant Armstrong for our RHAP.
[00:02:02] [SPEAKER_04]: Cedric, how are you doing today?
[00:02:04] [SPEAKER_02]: I'm doing great. How are y'all?
[00:02:06] [SPEAKER_04]: We're doing very good. And again, Julie said it last night.
[00:02:10] [SPEAKER_04]: Very classy exit outside from coming out of the house.
[00:02:15] [SPEAKER_04]: Can you just tell us a little bit about this week for you?
[00:02:17] [SPEAKER_04]: When did you suspect that things were going in the wrong direction?
[00:02:23] [SPEAKER_02]: What really had kind of made me worry is when we found out that Quinn loses his vote as the big HOH.
[00:02:31] [SPEAKER_02]: The whole week, you know, I volunteered to be a pawn because I wanted to test T-Core and Kimo's loyalty
[00:02:37] [SPEAKER_02]: and give me a reason to either exclude them from the Alliance or make the collective 100% solid.
[00:02:43] [SPEAKER_02]: Which Quinn having his vote we could have done and kept everything together.
[00:02:48] [SPEAKER_02]: Unfortunately him losing his vote kind of led to my downfall.
[00:02:53] [SPEAKER_03]: It seems like that happened like late in the week that he was under the impression that he had his vote for a long time
[00:02:59] [SPEAKER_03]: and then it changed. Is that was that your experience of it?
[00:03:04] [SPEAKER_02]: That was my experience. So we didn't find out that Quinn lost his vote until Wednesday night.
[00:03:10] [SPEAKER_02]: So that kind of shifted a lot and put a lot into perspective.
[00:03:13] [SPEAKER_02]: I knew going in that it was going to be a tight vote even if Quinn had his vote, if I was on the block next to Ravina.
[00:03:20] [SPEAKER_02]: So that was like worst case scenario for me in the week.
[00:03:23] [SPEAKER_04]: Going back to last week, you were the HOH and we saw the big fight with the veto ceremony and everything that happened.
[00:03:32] [SPEAKER_04]: Do you feel like if you would have gone with that Tucker plan that came up with it, do you feel like that you would still be out of the house today?
[00:03:42] [SPEAKER_02]: Oh, if I would have gone with Tucker's plan, I would have 100%, not 100, but 90% I probably would have been evicted
[00:03:48] [SPEAKER_02]: because we wouldn't have had the votes. Quinn has his hands in too many things. He's entrusted with too many people.
[00:03:53] [SPEAKER_02]: We wouldn't have had the votes to send Quinn out of the house.
[00:03:55] [SPEAKER_02]: He had his deep fake HOH power. He's also part of the Pentagon.
[00:03:59] [SPEAKER_02]: So I would have blown the Pentagon up, blown the collective up.
[00:04:02] [SPEAKER_02]: This week, week four, there would have been three Pentagon members on the board and if one of us came off, another one was going up as replacement nominee.
[00:04:10] [SPEAKER_02]: So Tucker's plan didn't make sense because Quinn had his hands in everything.
[00:04:14] [SPEAKER_02]: And Tucker's whole thing is I want to get the strongest competitors out of the house.
[00:04:17] [SPEAKER_02]: So I'm going to blow up the Pentagon, blow up the collective for somebody who doesn't even really want to work with me.
[00:04:23] [SPEAKER_02]: Doesn't make sense. Good answer. Thank you.
[00:04:28] [SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, you know, there was a lot of speculation about how much you really knew about the show in the house.
[00:04:35] [SPEAKER_03]: Some people thought you were trying to like play up that you didn't know as much as you really did.
[00:04:40] [SPEAKER_03]: How much do you act? Did you actually know about the show going in?
[00:04:43] [SPEAKER_02]: I've never seen a full season of Big Brother going into the house.
[00:04:48] [SPEAKER_02]: A lot of what I learned and a lot of the ways I was able to speak on things were from like YouTube clips that I watched really, really recently.
[00:04:57] [SPEAKER_02]: So yeah, I'm a huge fan now.
[00:05:00] [SPEAKER_02]: I got another one for life. Going into it, I was kind of like, oh, this is really long.
[00:05:05] [SPEAKER_03]: I assume none of the YouTube clips were saying definitely don't volunteer to be on the block.
[00:05:11] [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, no, I didn't get the memo. Definitely don't volunteer to be a pawn.
[00:05:14] [SPEAKER_02]: You know, I heard around the house sometimes like pawns go home and I was like, not me, I'm a pawn. Look at me now.
[00:05:23] [SPEAKER_04]: Other than not going on the block, do you feel like there's something that you could have done differently this week that would have changed this?
[00:05:32] [SPEAKER_02]: I could have campaigned to Leah really, really hard this week had I known that Quinn was going to lose his vote
[00:05:38] [SPEAKER_02]: because she would have been the swing vote I needed to stay.
[00:05:42] [SPEAKER_02]: Joseph, if I was able to communicate the plan properly, Joseph would have voted for me.
[00:05:47] [SPEAKER_02]: Leah would have voted for me. The three that voted for me clearly would have voted for me.
[00:05:50] [SPEAKER_02]: That gives me five to four. Rabina goes home and T-Corps and Kimo no longer have the allegiance or protection of the collective.
[00:05:58] [SPEAKER_02]: They go on the block next to each other when I win the wall comp.
[00:06:01] [SPEAKER_02]: Next to it would have been T-Corps, Kimo, Rabina.
[00:06:04] [SPEAKER_02]: If one of them comes down, Tucker was going to be a replacement on the knee, forcing them to fight in the AI arena and dwindle the numbers the other side of the house further.
[00:06:14] [SPEAKER_03]: So you know now that Quinn had told T-Corps and Kimo about the Pentagon.
[00:06:20] [SPEAKER_03]: He also told Joseph about the Pentagon.
[00:06:23] [SPEAKER_03]: Oh.
[00:06:24] [SPEAKER_03]: Yeah.
[00:06:25] [SPEAKER_03]: Listen, Quinn likes to tell people things.
[00:06:28] [SPEAKER_03]: I know.
[00:06:30] [SPEAKER_03]: So his reasoning, I can tell you, was that and he told this story about how he was brought into the Pentagon.
[00:06:37] [SPEAKER_03]: He felt like it was very obvious from the way that he was invited into the Alliance that it was you, Chelsea and Cam that were at the core of it and that he was the fourth and that Brooklyn was the fifth.
[00:06:48] [SPEAKER_03]: And that's why he felt like, okay, well, I'm not at the core of the Pentagon.
[00:06:53] [SPEAKER_03]: Therefore, I need to develop some kind of core elsewhere.
[00:06:56] [SPEAKER_03]: So he got into this Alliance with T-Corps and Kimo.
[00:06:59] [SPEAKER_03]: They called it the Visionaries.
[00:07:02] [SPEAKER_03]: Were you conscious of that when you created the Pentagon?
[00:07:05] [SPEAKER_03]: Was that something that you were thinking about?
[00:07:08] [SPEAKER_02]: No, so unfortunately that's not something that I would have thought about until I found out when week three during my HOH is when it kind of rang in my head that Quinn probably told Kimo just because that's how I found out that Quinn had the power was through him telling Tucker or Quinn telling Kimo, Kimo telling Tucker.
[00:07:27] [SPEAKER_02]: That's why I found out.
[00:07:28] [SPEAKER_02]: So I figured in the early stages he would have thought it was fishy.
[00:07:31] [SPEAKER_02]: He probably would have told Kimo which let me give you some tea real quick.
[00:07:37] [SPEAKER_02]: We came and I knew Quinn was a snake, right?
[00:07:40] [SPEAKER_02]: So Cam and I knew Quinn was a snake and the plan was to send Quinn out the first double eviction causing the Pentagon to go from a Pentagon to a rectangle.
[00:07:49] [SPEAKER_03]: You would have called it the rectangle?
[00:07:51] [SPEAKER_02]: Oh yeah, that was going to be my listen.
[00:07:53] [SPEAKER_02]: I didn't get my respect for workshopping all these names.
[00:07:57] [SPEAKER_02]: The Pentagon sponsored by me, the barber shop sponsored by me, the collective was Quinn.
[00:08:04] [SPEAKER_02]: But yeah, it wasn't like the rectangle.
[00:08:06] [SPEAKER_03]: At least when people say they want to blow up the rectangle it doesn't sound quite as bad as when they say they want to blow up the Pentagon.
[00:08:13] [SPEAKER_01]: You know what I'm saying?
[00:08:14] [SPEAKER_01]: Like oh man.
[00:08:16] [SPEAKER_01]: Quinn's a little snakey self.
[00:08:17] [SPEAKER_04]: Well, we saw where there were times when you talked to Quinn about having some kind of final two deal.
[00:08:25] [SPEAKER_04]: Were you sort of stringing him along with that?
[00:08:29] [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, so I knew I couldn't trust Quinn but I figured the best way to kind of get off Quinn's radar and what people that he would target even if he wanted to target the Pentagon
[00:08:39] [SPEAKER_02]: would be to propose the final two of quality control or QC.
[00:08:45] [SPEAKER_02]: But that was completely clear.
[00:08:46] [SPEAKER_02]: There was no way in that and Quinn was no way ever going to be next to me in the final two chairs.
[00:08:53] [SPEAKER_03]: Okay, I've got to ask about this idea that volunteering for the block means that you're testing chemo and Fikors loyalty.
[00:09:03] [SPEAKER_03]: Why did you need to do this?
[00:09:07] [SPEAKER_03]: If they're not loyal that's pretty bad for you at that point, right?
[00:09:11] [SPEAKER_02]: Right, so that's the thing is that at the time I figured I had the numbers regardless of which way they were going and it was going to tell me for certain that I can't trust T-Core or chemo.
[00:09:24] [SPEAKER_02]: Also allowing me to cut them from the collective, bring Leah in and now I have a group that I can really trust because ultimately in Big Brother I felt if I can't trust a group of people to kind of take me where I need to go I'm not locked in the game anyway.
[00:09:41] [SPEAKER_03]: So you in your ideal world the collective cuts T-Core and chemo brings in Leah and then I mean that makes sense considering Leah and Quinn's relationship is not great at that point.
[00:09:55] [SPEAKER_02]: Exactly because then Leah and Quinn's relationship isn't really great and then when we send Quinn on double eviction it allows us to bring Leah into the final five in turn cutting her first out of the final five.
[00:10:09] [SPEAKER_02]: Now the C's and Brooklyn are there and whoever wins out of the C's in Brooklyn I would be ecstatic about.
[00:10:16] [SPEAKER_04]: Now we saw that you were in trouble going into yesterday but I was like you know what Cedric's got this in the AI arena, I'm not even worried.
[00:10:24] [SPEAKER_02]: What happened?
[00:10:26] [SPEAKER_02]: So I really hope they show a clip. There's a clip of me and it's I'm saying if the AI arena is something that requires me to control power I'm screwed and that's exactly what this AI arena was.
[00:10:38] [SPEAKER_04]: Too amped up.
[00:10:40] [SPEAKER_02]: No it wasn't even that I'm too amped up I just struggle with like this wasn't even a day we didn't know what the arena was so I was like if it requires me to like you know show my power I just suck at those games like shuffleboard and all that I always I can never get it right where it needs to go and unfortunately that's what the arena was.
[00:10:59] [SPEAKER_02]: I needed to put balls right where it needed to go and then I needed to knock them down.
[00:11:02] [SPEAKER_03]: I saw you say in another interview that you had thought about sabotaging MJ.
[00:11:07] [SPEAKER_03]: Yes.
[00:11:08] [SPEAKER_03]: Would that have been allowed?
[00:11:10] [SPEAKER_02]: That's actually why I didn't do it. It wasn't so I'm very.
[00:11:14] [SPEAKER_04]: How would you sabotage her?
[00:11:16] [SPEAKER_02]: I would have just not let her roll the balls I would have just walked away because if I'm sitting next to MJ I'm very confident that I'm staying week five.
[00:11:25] [SPEAKER_02]: Now the reason I didn't do it is because I wasn't sure how allowed it was.
[00:11:28] [SPEAKER_02]: I pay very very very close attention to the rules and it wasn't specifically stated that I could not interfere with other players lanes but it also wasn't stated that I could and it's a live show so we're not allowed to get any interruptions.
[00:11:43] [SPEAKER_02]: So I could have in turn sabotaged MJ's game and then got like three penalty votes or something.
[00:11:50] [SPEAKER_04]: Ask for forgiveness not for permission okay.
[00:11:54] [SPEAKER_04]: Tyre anything else for Cedric before we gotta run?
[00:11:57] [SPEAKER_04]: I think we're good.
[00:11:58] [SPEAKER_04]: Hey Cedric really nice to get to talk to you.
[00:12:01] [SPEAKER_04]: I thought you did a really great job in the game and so best of luck outside of the show okay.
[00:12:08] [SPEAKER_02]: Thank you so so much y'all are amazing take it easy I appreciate all the love.
