Follow Up Interview With Nick Starcevic of Big Brother 8
Author's web site:
I had a busy weekend talking with both Kail and then Nick from Big Brother 8. Nick caught us up on what he is up to, his relocation to California, who he thinks will win and thoughts on Danielle. Come back later this week to read my interview with Carol and Mike.
Q. Mark RealityWanted.com: Whats up man, great to talk with you again. So, I have to assume life has been a bit crazy for you since you have been back. What have you been up to?
A. Nick Starcevic Big Brother 8: It’s been great man. I have been back for about a month now and its all been fast paced. I have been to Alaska, then NY for the “Power of 10” and next week I’m off to LA for the Big Brother 8 finale.
Q. Mark: How is it out on the street? Are people starting to recognize you from the show? That has to be a bit surreal.
A. Nick Starcevic Big Brother 8: It is surreal but fun. I did get recognized a lot right after I got home. I think it was easy for people to pick me out from the Mohawk but it’s grown out a bit now.
Q. Mark RealityWanted.com: I was talking with James Rhine from Big Brother 6 and Big Brother All-Stars a few weeks ago and he told me about how CBS suggested to all the that it would not be a good idea to spend too much time in online Big Brother forums. Have you ventured into the online world to see what fans or saying good and bad?
A. Nick Starcevic Big Brother 8: Ya, CBS suggested the same thing to us but I went and checked it out. I have seen some silly comments that really don’t bug me, but most of the stuff I have seen online has been positive. I was shell shocked when I started looking around the web, I had no idea Big Brother had such a large fan base, it’s very cool.
Q. Mark RealityWanted.com: How is your email box and myspace these days, are you getting overwhelmed with emails?
A. Nick Starcevic Big Brother 8: It has been hard to get back to everyone. When I was on Housecalls I gave out my myspace and when I got home there were 15,000 friend requests. There is also a girl who made an online chat room for me, and I there is a link to it on my myspace if people want to check it out.
Q. Mark RealityWanted.com: I just hung up with Kail and she has been getting back into her work routine. Are you back to teaching and/or what are your plans?
A. Nick Starcevic Big Brother 8: Right now I have my teaching license. I am going to apply to substitute teach in Los Angeles.
Q. Mark RealityWanted.com: So I take it you’re moving to LA?
A. Nick Starcevic Big Brother 8: Ya, I am moving pretty soon, I already have a place lined up in Ladera Ranch.
Q. Mark RealityWanted.com: Since you’ve been back have you been watching the show and if so, did you record and watch the episodes you were on?
A. Nick Starcevic Big Brother 8: I recorded all the episodes I was on. When I got home I sat on my couch and had a Big Brother marathon and got myself caught up. It was cool to watch it and see how you’re portrayed on the show.
Q. Mark RealityWanted.com: What about the live Big brother feeds have you been watching them online and/or have you watched the Big Brother on Showtime After dark?
A. Nick Starcevic Big Brother 8: I have just a little, maybe 20 minutes worth. I have not watched Showtime since it is on so late out here.
Q. Mark RealityWanted.com: After watching the shows you were on and the clips here and there that they still show on TV, how is it to see yourself on Television?
A. Nick Starcevic Big Brother 8: It is a bit odd to watch yourself on TV, but also to watch the weekly shows now and think about how you were just there a few weeks ago.
Q. Mark RealityWanted.com: Of course I want to ask you about Danielle, but let’s talk about Dick. It seems like fans love or hate him. What are your thoughts on Dick?
A. Nick Starcevic Big Brother 8: I like Dick and I think he makes the show interesting. Dick has a certain mind set on how he will play and I think he knows he will make it to finals, but I also think he knows he won’t win. CBS is going to portray people how they want, but inside the house it’s much different.
Q. Mark RealityWanted.com: I assume you haven’t spoken with any of the sequestered houseguests, but have you made contact with Kail, Joe, Mike or Carol? Who do you think you will stay in touch with after everyone is home?
A. Nick Starcevic Big Brother 8: I have talked to them all. I want to stay in contact with many of them. I definitely want to stay in touch with Danielle, Dick, Zack and Joe.
Q. Mark RealityWanted.com: It looks like two romances popped up on this season on Big Brother. What do you think of the Jessica and Eric deal?
A. Nick Starcevic Big Brother 8: All the power to them. Great job by Eric, I had no idea things would end up like they did with those two. I wish the best for both of them.
Q. Mark Realitywanted.com: I know we talked about this a bit last time but speaking of Eric what do you think about him and the whole America’s Player deal now that you have had the chance to watch all the prior episodes?
A. Nick Starcevic Big Brother 8: I like Eric a lot and think he is hilarious. There is no doubt about it, America’s Player did hurt his chances in the game and was a hindrance. Without it I think he could have gone further.
Q. Mark RealityWanted.com: I don’t want to dig up dirt or talk poorly of houseguests but did you see Amber’s racial comments and/or her hopes to be on Americas Next Top Model?
A. Nick Starcevic Big Brother 8: I liked Amber in the house but then when I got out and watched the episodes, I realized she has a lot of problems and trashes everyone on the show. She does a great deal of double talk. She was one of the ones responsible for getting me evicted. I think she has emotional problems and she will have more when she gets home sees what she was like on TV and what people are saying about her online.
I did see the episode in which she talked about being a model and how the show made her look like a fatty showing her stuff her face and I also think they picked one of the worst pictures of her in a bikini they could find. I am sure when she gets home things are going to bad for her.
Q. Mark RealityWanted.com: So you’re off to California. Are you going to look into other acting or modeling work?
A. Nick Starcevic Big Brother 8: The good thing about having a teaching degree is that I can move to California and look into other opportunities. I got a couple of modeling things that came at me and I would like to get acting.
Q. Mark RealityWanted.com: Let’s talk about you and Danielle. Do you think you would have gone further in the game if you had not had feelings for her and what does the future hold for the two of you?
A. Nick Starcevic Big Brother 8: I really hope things work out for us. I know I could have gone a lot further in the game if I stuck with my alliance but getting to know Danielle made me much happier. My feelings for Danielle are real. It’s really up to her, she knows how I feel and where my head is at.
Q. Mark RealityWanted.com: CBS hasn’t shown much of her boyfriend but we did get to see a small clip when she was HOH. What do you think of him?
A. Nick Starcevic Big Brother 8: He seems like a nice guy but when I met Danielle in the house I could not help how I felt for her.
Q. Mark RealityWanted.com: I don’t need to ask, I assume you’re cheering Danielle on.
A. Nick Starcevic Big Brother 8: I am rooting her on. I love seeing her on the show and I think it’s cute how she wears the bandana that I gave her during each challenge. I also see her wearing the shirt I left her.
Q. Mark RealityWanted.com: let’s finish up with some predications on how the final few shows will go and who you think will win.
A. Nick Starcevic Big Brother 8: Here is how I think it will play out. I think Jameka will go home soon. I like Danielle, Dick and Zack. I do feel Dick and Danielle will be in the finals and Danielle will win Big brother 8. Dick and Danielle are great players and I think many houseguests made mistakes not breaking them apart earlier.
