She played a hard game but maybe too hard. Mickey Lee, the 35-year-old event commissioner, was caught on both sides and perhaps was triggered by his own confidence.
John Powell: It’s great to talk to you this morning. You must have had 24 -hour roller coaster. How do you feel?
Mickey Lee: Today? I feel good today! I am well rested and I have the impression of getting closer and closer to my crab legs and my martini espresso!
John Powell: Well, I have to remove something very fast because it is important. I am not a fashion guru by an imagination section, but we have to talk about the hair and your emblematic look on the series. There have been a lot of comments on this subject. I mean, you even had house allowances that helped you maintain it. To what extent is it important for you?
Mickey Lee: Oh, my God! It was so important to come to this house being unique and only me. I love my hair! I love my locks! It was nice to see that they saw something different. I could say it. I was able to teach people at the Maison des locks. And, you know, they were the hip when everything was over. (laughs)
John Powell: Well, some of them need a certain sense of fashion. I’ll tell you as much. You missed the one -week jury. When I spoke to former household allowances, some are a little soft to be. How are you doing?
Mickey Lee: Honestly, I feel good. I have the impression that everything happens for a reason. I am a big person on peace and intentions and my game ended last night for a reason. I finished playing the game for a reason. I think it means that something exceptional is waiting for me at home. I can rest, prepare for a final night and root everyone who is always in the game.
John Powell: You may not know it, but the reason why people voted against you is because they have the impression that you were good with one side, you were good with the other side and which troubled them a lot. Did you have an idea of this in the house that they may start to be wary of you?
Mickey Lee: Yes, my discernment is pretty. I had felt some things for about a few weeks now. It’s funny, you say that just because I think many of us in the house were good with both sides, but I think it was because I was good with both sides. I was actually a little good in the game and I think I was a little target. I mean, that’s what it is. But no, I’m not surprised. Not a shock. I think many people fear strength and that’s all me.
John Powell: This is what is happening in a season when you have a lot of players like players who play. When you campaign, it is that there was this conversation, especially with the way Vince was going to push you to do it, but it was sure that you were going to launch the Buster block. You were so confident. Have you launched the Buster block? Have you thought about doing this?
Mickey Lee: To be honest, I didn’t launch the blockbuster. I did not give him the hardest tests the hardest just because the bullets gave me a kick, let’s be honest. As I am like, what? I am like, oh my God, oh my God. I didn’t throw it, no. Everyone knows me in this game. I was Hustler. I was a Go-Star and I was there to win, so I did my best. Could have gone a little stronger, yes, if I had more strategy but no, he won this and congratulations to Vince.
John Powell: I let you approach this, but when you put Jimmy, you said it was a decision “based on faith” and that it confused some people. Explain to them what you meant by that.
Mickey Lee: So, a sense “based on faith”, as I had prayed and I felt contained with my decision. So, of course, Jimmy’s tactics in the house damaged my game a little. He did not defend me and many things he was doing could have sent me home, which was so scary. I could already have been at home, honestly, if I hadn’t done that. That’s a bit what it was. I knew I was care about him as a person, but what is funny is the biggest person in the house who told me to separate the staff and the game was … Jimmy! And there you go, I followed his advice and did that exactly. So I prayed on this subject and I felt happy with what I was doing.
John Powell: We have seen how hard it was for you because you had this discussion with Jimmy, this head to one in the backyard where he expressed his frustration. We have seen that you were torn apart, like, here is a friend, but I have to play my game. For many people, it is difficult to distinguish between the two. Was it difficult for you in the house?
Mickey Lee: I did it. I’m going to be honest, I really did it. I think that is also what bites me in the ass because at the end of the day, I am a softy. I am a human, of course, as we are all, but I am big in loyalty and I am great to stay with people who stay with me. Jimmy had me tear me away because I like Jimmy. I still love Jimmy and I think we were exceptional together, but knowing that I was betrayed really injured me, that’s also why I didn’t vote Morgan because I was trying to be faithful even if I really don’t want her in the game and that’s what it is. I am faithful to a fault.
John Powell: Speaking of your allies, you can obviously see it when you go home and come back through the episodes, but for a long time, Ashley has been in the newspaper room and she has not been satisfied with her relationship with you. She said she didn’t feel like collaborating, but that you tell her what to do. Did you make an meaning in the house that this is what Ashley felt about your game relationship?
Mickey Lee: I know very well that she was definitely defending or campaigning against me during my hoh, so I knew it. I’m not an idiotic duck, of course. I was aware of what was why I was comfortable voting this week. I didn’t really trust her, but I tried to keep her near the part of throwing her away. Basically, obviously, respectfully, I might have started as pretty, but sometimes you should keep your enemies closer and that is exactly what it was.
John Powell: Morgan sort of distant. How did you feel his gameplay? As with Zach, it is, really getting closer to Vince, physically not only emotionally. What was your opinion about it?
Mickey Lee: It was very interesting to watch. I would say that I think Morgan was a little attached to the little triangle of the house earlier with Zach and Lauren. They sort of moved to Vince. I think it was a lot of strategy attached to it. I think it was smart to do. It obviously worked for her. The closer she got closer to Vince, the better her game went and it is interesting because many people want to play for Vince and I think Morgan could unfortunately find himself very soon being expelled because of this. I think most people want to keep it above her.
John Powell: Now we saw a few nights ago, Vince sitting on the stairs, rubbing his eyes furiously trying to make tears. Do you think that part of his game is trying to have sympathy, to play a sad bag?
Mickey Lee: Absolutely! Vinnie is very good, very good to cry her ass. The man cries more than me and I am a crybaby! He was crying the first week when I met him for the first time. He is definitely a paid actor. (Laughs) I don’t know in which films it was. I haven’t seen it yet but it definitely takes the cake. Oscar goes to you, baby, that’s for sure!
John Powell: We saw your big movement in the game. One of your big movements was that you played a very strong game. You removed Riley’s Hoh at the right time. It was the ideal moment that you were in danger, a very serious danger. At this point, you could have returned home. Riley got very angry about it. You treated this with a fresh head and kept your calm, kept your patience. How difficult it was at that time, with all the emotions that were going on then?
Mickey Lee: It was the most difficult moment in my life, standing on this sofa when I had to reveal myself, I was about to pee on myself! (laughs) I was terrified! I am like, oh my God, this man will kill me! So it was my only reflection process. I was afraid! I was and as at that time, I felt alone, because I had to do a moment of “tall girl” and I had to put my “big girl” panties, that’s what I said. I had to stay there and keep myself strong and I was terrified. It was difficult. But after doing it, I felt strong and confident in what I had to do and I saved my buttocks.

John Powell: It was the right movement at 100% because you were definitely in reticle. Riley had discussed it. Another person with whom you had a kind of relationship from top to bottom was Rachel. I know you only had a little time to think about things. There is this person and the game player who often goes hand in hand. What did you think of your evaluation on Rachel and his gameplay? I mean, we were all able to see how she was a great moment with Keanu during the competition when she sort of argued on him. It was a great moment. What do you think of her and her gameplay?
Mickey Lee: I love Rachel. I think he is a great person overall. I just think that his gameplay is very interesting. I think a lot is mainly intimidated based on the fact that it is a legend of Big Brother and I think it helped her. Then many people were afraid of taking shots or even saying something indifferent to her, right? I think it was easier for me because I do not know his gameplay or her resemblance before, so I treated him like a normal person and I don’t think they loved it. I think it’s a bit where I fell very short, because I treated it like a normal person. She didn’t like it. But, uh, the gameplay, I think it was simply based on the fact that it was a legend and that people just needed to “bow” and it worked for some and it did not work for many others.
