I think my gameplay was on point.
It was just who I was aligned with that was the issue.
We learned a lot about how your family keeps you driven.
Boom, I am there.
I went in there with a goal to win the life changing amount of money.
I want to know where your decision to vote Juelz out so early came from.
I had a one-on-one with Juelz, as did Winnie, Julie, and Mama Jay.
We got together after and said theres something wrong about Juelz.
There were inconsistencies about his background.
We had decided that we were going to vote for Juelz before we knew there was a Vault.
That was already scary.
It felt as if no one wanted to play this game and the call to action was very clear.
Mind you, $250,000 … if it was one person, thats life-changing amounts of money.
I cant even buy me a little Toyota Corolla with that.
A lot of people were like, We dont want to vote.
Were one big happy family.
Im like, Where did yall find these contestants?
We have multiple winners, but none of yall want to play the game?
There were two clear alliances, and one alliance was successful at splitting yours apart.
So heres where stuff starts to get dicey: I feel like some women were not trusting the process.
Julie felt like she needed someone on the boys side to protect her.
And then Lindsey saw Julie waffling.
I still dont understand that, because what the hell were they protecting anyone from?
They werent even playing!
That was the beginning of the end of the womens alliance.
You seemed to develop a friendship with Julie at the start.
I had nobody else in the core alliance; Winnies gone, Mama Jays gone, and Lindsey?
I had Julie, so I could work with that.
Julies still my friend, even though Im still mad.
Like yes, you didnt vote for Winnie, but you still didnt protect her.
But she was there for me when everyone was gone and walked off.
We still had our relationship.
Thats why I was so angry during the candle-blowing scene.
So when I take off my blindfold, why are two of Winnies candles blown out?
I get it, both of us have very different approaches in how we deal with situations.
Shes very straightforward and tells it like it is.
If she was a man, they would love that.
So I go out [to the men] with a softer approach, more approachable.
If yall are feeling some kind of way about Winnie, why not talk to me about it?
[I did] not know that they were all butt hurt about Bryce.
We voted out Bryce because hes a millionaire.
Yall just see me and Winnie as the problems of the house.
It still pisses me off.
Mind you, thats not the first time.
When I met Jake, the first thing he says is, Wow I love your outfit.
You look like a Wakanda princess warrior.
Wakanda is not a real place.
I let that go; thats his ignorance.
I wear that shit on my sleeves and in my ears.
I show a whole array of Tolu, but you only choose to see the Black girl.
So when we had that conversation, I wanted to lay it out that Im not having fun.
Thats why I wanted to educate him.
We have different approaches and you have different relationships with us.
They would say things like, cull the herd or theres a rooster in the something something.
Shes not a rooster; shes a human being.
Why is Winnie not receiving that praise?
She knows who she is and she stands on her shit.
If I didnt take that from the Vault, I was going to fucking vote.
I didnt even have to second guess it much because yall were such dickheads.
I had a name in the envelope and thoughtshould I?
Can you say the name?Jake.
The paranoia was getting to me.
Thats the only thing I would have changed: how I made the alliances in the beginning.
