Simply Andrew

[Andrew Gordon]

Hello Kevin, Danielle, and Marvin. First of all, congrats on making it to the final three. No matter what is or was said, you three, in each of your own ways made it further than the rest of us, so congrats on that.

I am not going to sit here and bash any of you, though I could, I won't. Simply because I don't think it's worth it. I may not like or respect the way that you played the game, but you did make it further than me, so that is that. In the end, it is just a game, and not worth getting all upset about. When this game is over, I will move on with my life. I will keep in touch with some of you (you know who you are) and the rest....have a good life.

I do have some questions for each of you, and some for you all to answer. I admit to stealing a few from a recent game I was a finalist in, and I am using them partly because I think they are good questions, and partly because I want to see you squirm like I did.

Marvin: Congrats on pulling off the phantasm twist. I admit, that at the start of the game, it was a role that I really wanted, but as the game moved on, I am so happy that it was not me. BUT, with all of the ups and downs with that twist, it made it hard for me to really get to know who you really were, and I will be honest and say that I will have a hard time voting for someone that I really don't know, and while some of that blame lies with me, not all of it does, so here are my questions for you:

1. List for me your top four favorite books of all time, and give a short explanation why you like them. Don't tell me you are not a reader. If you are not, just pull some books from your childhood or use google.

2. What three personality traits do you possess that think makes you an ideal candidate to play this game for real i.e. the real life version, and give a short reason for each trait.

3. Tell me about yourself in two hundred words or less. You can do this any way you want, from childhood until now or from birth until now. It does not really matter.

Best of luck Marvin


Kevin: I really have to tip my hat to you. You were/are a dominate player in this game and you played it the way it should be played in my opinion. I could have and should have gone after you but I admit to being too scared too since I had no idea what kind of power you may have had at the time. Here is what I have for you:

1. Say I had made an alliance with you, Karen, Boogie, Lisa, Carol, and Erika. Would you have stuck with that alliance or gone in a different direction? If you strayed from it, who would you have stuck with and who would you vote off in what order?

2. Give me the one moment you are most proud of in this game and one moment that you really regret, and give reasons for each. I want real moments, not "I have no regrets".

Best of luck to you Kevin


Danielle: Oh Dani. What to say about you. If I had one regret in this game it would be not sticking with you longer than I did. You were right, we started drifting apart later in the game, right around the round after I won HoH. I have a feeling that if I stuck with you longer, things may have been different, but oh well. You may be perceived as evil, but you did what you had to do to get further in the game and did not care, for the most part, who you stepped on to do it. I may not like it or even agree with it, but it is what it is. Here is what I have for you:

1. There are seven new wonders of the world (eight with an honorary one) and they are:

Great Wall of China China
Petra Jordan
Christ the Redeemer Brazil
Machu Picchu Peru
Chichen Itza Mexico
Colosseum Italy
Taj Mahal India
Great Pyramid of Giza Egypt

Please tell me which you would sent each of the jurors and your other two finalists to visit and why. Obviously you can use each more than once. This does not have to be long. Two or three sentences each would work, though you can go longer if you want.

2. In an earlier question, you had to bash each of the jury members. I want you to do the opposite here. Say something nice about each of us. I want to see if you can do both.


Thank you Danielle, and best of luck to you.


Now, for all of you to answer:

1. What would you rather do....kiss Julie Chen or eat a bowl of rancid oatmeal?

That's it. That's all I have for you. My vote is truly up in the air at this point and I look forward to seeing your answers.

Good luck to you all.

[Kevin Campbell]

Thanks Andrew!

My thing with alliances is that I didn't make them only to backstab them, I made them to generally see them succeed, when I made a deal I wanted to stick by it and see it get far into the game. That is why I wasn't running around making alliances with everyone. Had I made an alliance that large I would have done my best to see those people make it to the Final 8, though I still would have tried to get Danielle into the group. It's hard for me to go a different direction if that were my alliance...that group is life half the cast haha. But had I stuck with you all till the Final 8 I probably would have wanted Boogie and Carol gone first as I felt least connected to them. Much like what actually happened when I nominated Boogie and voted him and Carol both in the Double Eviction. Between Karen/Lisa/Erika/You I would have probably wanted Karen and you gone next as I had felt a bond and trust with Erika and Lisa and I would have honored my sub alliance with them if that were to be who was left. I like keeping my game simple and straight forward so I would have gone with that.

My biggest regret isn't necessarily a moment but I feel like at times I didn't try to socially extend myself to certain people in particular even when I was online. Boogie, because I had a hard time connecting with him. Amanda when she was a player because she never imed me and I didn't really feel compelled to start many conversations with her. Also Carol because I didn't think she was someone that I took very seriously for whatever reason. I wish I had tried harder to talk to certain people during the game.

As far as proudest moment, I think being here in the Final 3. I am proud that I made it here, it was no cake walk. I may get discredited for things but I think I did enough to earn my spot here. I made alliances and deals when I needed to, I invested in the right people at the right times and I won challenges to control my own fate and to help further myself in this game. Everyone wanted me gone and no one got me out. I think that speaks volumes and that's something I am proud of.

As for that last question....I'm a rice queen so I'd definitely be kissing Julie! Even if she is a girl....

1. There are seven new wonders of the world (eight with an honorary one) and they are:

Great Wall of China China
Petra Jordan
Christ the Redeemer Brazil
Machu Picchu Peru
Chichen Itza Mexico
Colosseum Italy
Taj Mahal India
Great Pyramid of Giza Egypt

Please tell me which you would sent each of the jurors and your other two finalists to visit and why. Obviously you can use each more than once. This does not have to be long. Two or three sentences each would work, though you can go longer if you want.

Kevin: I would sent Kevin to the Great Wall of China. We all know Kevin is a rice queen, and hopefully if he goes to an area that is populated with more men then woman, he can find a few Asian's to make happy. (Blowjobs One Dollar)

Marvin: I would send Marvin to the Great Pyramid of Giza, in Egypt. I would send Marvin here because he needs to be around his own people, by that I mean African people. He needs a reminder of where he came from and gain more respect, and gain a reason for life because he is suicidal.

Karen: I would send Karen to the Colosseum in Italy. I think Karen would gain a lot of knowledge from the people of Italy. =) In addition, she may learn a lot about fighting in arena's that she can take back for future Big Brother games and how to succeed!

Carol: I would send Carol to the Machu Picchu in Peru. I feel like Carol is very Spanish, and would enjoy going into the Spanish speaking countries. I think she would learn a lot and enjoy it. =) Carol just seems Spanish to me.

Erika: I will send Erika to the Great Pyramid of Giza, in Egypt. This is just to get closer to Marvin. I feel like they would need some new bonding time to really understand each other. I think as we end this game, they are two people who didn't get enough time to really enjoy the finer parts of each other. They could use this little vacation as a way to do just that.

Andrew: I would send you to the Colosseum in Italy. I think your elimination challenge ending was surely a rough exit. I think if their is any war monuments or anything about the early days of the Colosseum, it may help get over any inside anger from the way you had to leave this game. In addition, a few cups of coffee in Italy and I bet you will be all better! I heard it is very tasty there.

Jordan: I would send Jordan to the Great Pyramid of Giza, in Egypt. I think you cannot separate Marvin from her at any moment, so why do it now? I think it will be best if she also gets some quality time with Erika and Marvin. Them three may come back brand new people, and maybe all new friends. =) Maybe all three of them can pop up in next season of BB Brawl together?

Lisa: I will send Lisa to India, to go to the Taj Mahal. If I know this correctly, their is a casino here. She can bet some money and maybe place better then she did in this game. She is very smart, and most likely good at some casino games as well!! Maybe you will score big and bring back more cash then we will win from this season of Brawl.

Mike: I will send Boogie to the casino as well in Taj Mahal, India. He will also be given the chance to win some money since he wasn't able to place high in this game! Good luck Boogie!!

2. In an earlier question, you had to bash each of the jury members. I want you to do the opposite here. Say something nice about each of us. I want to see if you can do both.

Karen: Karen was able to make herself the most nonthreatening person in this game, until Jordan entered with Marvin. She didn't play hard until the fast forward night..which may have been just what she needed to do for her game. She helped save herself against Erika, and then came to Carol and myself to form an alliance for the woman to take out Kevin/Marvin. This was the best move for her, and she got us both on board. Obviously, I was lying to her...but she had no way to know that. Her game was on point at the very end, and I think if she was able to win the HOH or POV at the final four..she would have a good shot at winning this game overall, she had no people that hate her on the jury. (As far as I know).

Carol: Carol played this game very different then most of us. I think she may have been underestimated at times. I think she could be, arguably, the best player of the season in many ways. She was very much a lone wolf, in my eyes. But a wolf nonetheless. Erika had Andrew. I had Kevin. Marvin had Jordan. Yet nobody was after Carol either? She was able to play the middle for a very long time, and make sure she was safe all the way through the game. She won the vetoes when she needed to, and took herself off the block. She helped do enough to show her loyalty early on in the game, and she had a HUGE shot at winning this game if she won something at the F5, or if I was honestly with her and Karen. (I could have tied the vote, and let Karen keep Carol in the game). She didn't do anything wrong, aside from trusting me. Other than that, her game was flawless. I think if she was in the final 4, she would have won something and won the entire game.

Erika: I cannot fault Erika for anything she did in this game. She played just like me, and to some extent better. She had Andrew in her pocket, someone I was unable to get in mine after a certain point in the game. She also had a better relationship, and an alliance with Karen..somebody else who was getting very far in this game, and I didn't have control over. Those two people could have been key players in the end game, if you(Andrew) didn't leave in an elimination challenge. Erika had this game setup for her to make it to the end. I was screwed when Jordan left, and felt myself getting pushed farther away from people. The elimination saved me, and hurt Erika. The elimination challenge, and the fact she couldn't win HOH or veto in the final 6 was the only thing that hurt her. If you(Andrew) stayed in the game normally, she most likely wouldn't have gotten 6th, I think you were always going to leave before her. Between her and Carol, I think it's kind of a toss up who was the better player this season.

Andrew: You were the cockroach that wouldn't leave for me at some point. I knew that you weren't trusting of me anymore, and we had our differences. However, you always were playing such a flawless game. If you weren't eliminated in a challenge format, I think you could have taken out Marvin or Kevin at the final 7, and gotten yourself/Erika/Karen to the end of this thing. You defo played a good game, and defo were robbed.

Jordan: I think I said this before, and I will say it again..you did the best thing you could have did when you came into this game. You laid low. You, most likely, knew that Marvin was going to be Marvin..and the best thing for your game was to be the low-key player that would be no threat, and let Marvin take any heat that Amanda was packing. Sadly, things didn't go your way..but you almost stayed, and your eviction shocked Kevin and myself. That showed a lot about you as a player. You did the smartest thing you could have did in your situation.

Lisa: By far, you were not given a chance either. I think going through this now..shows how much people were robbed by twists this season, if nothing else. That twist got you hardcore. I know, I said in a diff thread, you wouldn't have gotten 9th if Enzo was evicted and was the phantom like we all thought. Everyone was on your side after that, everyone didn't want you to go. The fact you were put up, it was like candy...the perfect time to take out someone who was on their way to make it to the end game. You can blame Dustin, if anyone, for your eviction...it wasn't your time to go at all. You played a really good starting game, and if the twist didn't screw you..you would have went far.

Boogie: I remember enjoying all of our conversations early on. I remember you were going through a lot of personal things in your life. I think, you and me, connected a lot at the start of this game. I know that we were also PMing a lot, and talking a lot about the game. I really wanted to work with you, and I wish you stayed active towards your eviction more..because we could have been an awesome team in this game.

1. What would you rather do....kiss Julie Chen or eat a bowl of rancid oatmeal?
Kiss Julie Chen <3 I wanna see if those lips are metal!!!

[Danielle Reyes]

Let me know if I missed anything you wanted me to address, or if you have additional questions.

[Andrew Gordon]

Thank you Kevin and Danielle. Very good answers from you both

[Marvin Latimer]

First off Andrew, id just like to say that i felt like i probably got to know you the best as Amanda and i feel that our relationship took the biggest hit when the Phantasm twist ended and I started playing as Marvin and i feel bad that we never got back to the same point we were when I was playing as Amanda.


1. List for me your top four favorite books of all time, and give a short explanation why you like them. Don't tell me you are not a reader. If you are not, just pull some books from your childhood or use google.

This might actually be my favorite question that anyone has asked me ever in a Finals scenario. I actually love to read and the fact that I've been obsessed with a book for the past few days is the reason i was late on posting my opening statement and responding to questions.

1. Currently im reading 11/22/63 by Stephen King and i literally can't put it down, im about halfway through it now and at the halfway point i have to say that there's no way this book wouldn't be able to crack my top 4.

2. I read the entire Dark Tower Series by Stephen King when i was in college, there are 7 books total if youre not familiar with the series at all, it was a great epic series about a journey to reach The Dark Tower and essentially try to fix the world. The ending was somewhat disappointing, but like ive said already about this game, its not about the story ends, its about the journey.

3. Last summer i read the first 5 books of the "Song of Ice and Fire" series by George R.R. Martin also known to people know as "Game of Thrones" from HBO. That was another book series that was almost impossible to put down. If anyone has seen the show, which is fucking amazing, just know that the books are soooo much better and i can't wait for the final 2 books to come out and finish the series.

4. When i was in middle school, the first Stephen King book i ever read was "Salem's Lot" it has to do with vampires basically taking over a small town in Maine, and these arent the gay sparkly vampires, these are the badass kind. I tried to reread the book not too long ago and i don't think it really holds up to alot of the stuff im reading know but i just remember it from middle school being like the greatest shit i ever read and thats why its on the list.

2. What three personality traits do you possess that think makes you an ideal candidate to play this game for real i.e. the real life version, and give a short reason for each trait.


1. Humor - I think im a pretty funny guy most of the time even though i didn't really get to show it off much this game. I did have some pretty hilarious conversations with Danielle late in the game that made me laugh pretty hardcore. I think humor would be an important trait just to get cast in the real BB because they don't usually cast people with no personalities whatsoever, unless theyre models.

2. Loyal - I think people underestimate the value of loyalty in big brother. Everyone always says that this is a game of lying and backstabbing, but to be able to stab someone in the back you have to show some loyalty to get their trust at some point or another.

3. Sexiness - Seriously how could any woman in the game resist from trying to get a piece of Marvin? I'd have them all fighting over each other as i waltzed my way to the end.

3. Tell me about yourself in two hundred words or less. You can do this any way you want, from childhood until now or from birth until now. It does not really matter.


I was born February 16th 1984 in Bowling Green Ohio which makes me way too old to still be playing in these games, but i still have fun doing it and there are worse ways to spend your free time. I lived my entire life in the middle of nowhere in Ohio,went to elementary, middle and high school in the same building, i graduated with 40 kids in my senior class. I was a two sport athlete and held the school record for highest batting average in a summer season of baseball when i graduated. I went to a small private college and graduated in 4 years with an applied management degree and a communication minor. Ive been working for the same company since i graduated high school, all through college and since graduation have worked my way up to become a Sales Rep with my own store and manage 5 employees currently. I share an apartment with my girlfriend who know's i play these games but definitely doesn't approve, lol.


1. What would you rather do....kiss Julie Chen or eat a bowl of rancid oatmeal?

I honestly think i would kiss Julie Chen, i know it would be horribly disgusting but I have a great imagination and she kinda looks like a Thai Ladyboy and pretending that she was would make it slightly less disgusting and possibly tolerable. But if she actually popped a boner while i was standing there i would RUN LIKE THE FUCKING WIND.

So yeah, thats the long and short of it. If you want to know anything else or have any other questions for me, just let me know.

[Andrew Gordon]

Thanks Marvin. I am a huge King fan myself, but for some reason have yet to start reading the Dark Tower series. Maybe I should start

[Marvin Latimer]

My suggestion is that if you start reading it, prepare to be obsessed with it for the next 6 months because those books are huge and theyre nearly impossible to put down once you start reading.
