“That’s not how I want it to be done.
That’s not how I wanted to be portrayed.”
“like vote to evict me.

I’d rather hang out with Nicole and Paloma than any one of you bozos.
This place is a circus and you’re all a bunch of clowns.”
What was up with Daniel’s speech and sprint?

And what does he make of the cutting goodbye messages from Michael and Taylor?
“(Also see to it to read ourweekly Q&A with host Julie Chen Moonves.)
DANIEL DURSTON:Well, I replayed that quite a bitwithNicole.

And hopefully it helps us.
And I told Nicole if we were gonna go home, we were gonna go home anyway.
So let’s just attempt to make this move and hopefully it works out.

What was behind all of that?
Half of it’s true, and half of it’s me just being a clown myself.
And I feel like a lot of people aren’t playing a very strategic part.
At least that’s what I’m getting from it.
To me, that’s a boring season.
So that’s basically what I’m saying in that speech.
Why basically sprint out of the house and not say goodbye to anyone but Terrance?
Terrence is my boy.
I absolutely loved him.
And he kept me sane this last week.
Me, him, and Nicole were an alliance called the Night Shift.
And he’s the only one I truly got along with towards the end.
And I kind of just didn’t wanna hug people.
People tried to make nice with it, but I knew it was strategic beforehand.
Let’s talk about some of your goodbye messages.
What did you make of that?
Michael’s was fun.
I was laughing so much.
I kind of didn’t hear all of it, but I love him.
I respect him so much as a player, and he’s such a good dude.
So whatever he was saying, I was on board with.
Taylor’s was amazing.
I thought it was gold.
I would’ve said the same thing if I were her.
So I just respected it.
You told her to “f— right off.”
How does that sit with you now?
Leaving the house, obviously it sits terribly with me.
That’s not how I want it to be done.
That’s not how I wanted to be portrayed.
But I am such a loyal person in my real life.
I didn’t know it would carry over into the game.
Life in that house is what you’ve been told and what you’ve experienced personally.
So with what I was told, I thought I was on the right side of things.
Unfortunately, it seems like I’m not.
I look forward to watching it back and correcting my wrongs.
You’ve only been out of the house for 12 hours.
But Taylor actually never lied about Paloma, and Palomadidtalk a lot about wanting to come after the guys.
Actually, at one point, she talked about wanting you out specifically.
It is all so fast.
So I respect anything that anyone’s gonna say on this show when I watch it back.
We all have our strategy going in, and obviously you have to adapt and change as you go.
But yeah, that sucks if I was lied to.
Do you think you crossed any sort of personal boundaries in terms of the way you played?
I am an emotional person at heart in the real world.
It’s very hard to remove it, and I thought I did.
And obviously it got the best of me, absolutely.
I didn’t know even my loyalty aspect would be so hardcore.
Yeah, I wish I could redo it and remove the emotion.
Was the last week going back and forth between having glimmers of hope and then extended periods of hopelessness?
That last week I really meant it when I said, “I’m the next one out.”
Nicole and I had many talks about it, and I can’t wait to see her.
And that was part of the positivity of leaving.
And he really came through on that last week.
But he actually gave me the hope of possibly flipping Alyssa.
And you’re free to imagine how hard that is when you’re in a showmance.
And she’s like, I think, obsessed with him in a good way.
Like head is in the clouds, you know.
And I love this game, so I was like, “Let’s play!
Let’s do it again!”
And I needed that closure for myself as well.
Ugh, it sucks to not make jury, I gotta tell you.
I had the fullBBexperience with first HOH, which is what I wanted.
I know that’s technically a bad thing, but I wanted it.
The only thing I didn’t fully get was jury and winning, of course.
But it’s been a dream come true.
And, ultimately, I did want to leave the house at this point.
I was ready to go.
