But at the same time, all I can say is that I own it.'
Nicole Layog believed she had cooked up the perfect recipe to get her rival out of theBig Brotherhouse.
Choosing me as your Festie Bestie, you thought was your security blanket.

How does Nicole feel about Taylor’s speech?
And does she regret some of her earlier treatment of her Festie Bestie?
What would she go back and change about her game if she could?

And who does she think is playing the best in the house?
We asked Nicole all that and more the morning after her eviction, and she served up the answers.
NICOLE LAYOG:We thought we had the numbers.

And I’m glad that I had the experience.
When and how did you start to figure out what was really happening with the vote?
Let’s talk about Taylor’s speech, quoting Rihanna and outlining all the mistakes you made.

Did she give you any notice or indication that was coming?
You know, Taylor and I have, I feel, a special relationship.
And the last few days have been full of apologies, honesty, humility.
And we hugged on it.
When everything happened, my mom is at home battling stage three cancer.
How do I keep it together?
How do I even deal with it?"
And in that moment, it’s not what it was.
And so there was this sense of relief, but still a sense of concern.
And am I allowed to ask about my mom?
Am I allowed to be in that moment?
And why do I feel this way?"
It was just a flood of emotion.
You know, being in this house, things are so heightened.
And I felt as though I couldn’t make sense of anything.
And I let that get in the way.
I felt bad for the moment of how I felt about my mom.
And then everything just kind of imploded, then exploded, basically.
Well, I had known from the beginning that people were not liking Taylor.
But at the same time, all I can say is that I own it.
And it’s whatBig Brotheris.
Not once, buttwice!
What’s wrong with me?
I’m guessing I know who youwantto win, but who’s playing the best game?
You’d be surprised.
I want Michael to win.
I want him to win the whole thing.
I want to see him shine.
He is a fierce competitor.
And I felt like we were possibly getting there.
And I wish I could have solidified something with him in the beginning.
This is really a make or break point for Daniel.
And I don’t even know if you saw it.
Nicole, wait for me, I’ll be on the plane with you."
I mean, really kind of defeatist and giving up.
How do you think he’s going to do in there without you?
Oh, Daniel, Daniel, Daniel.
Yeah, his emotions got super high over the last week, especially after the Veto meeting.
And I know that his emotions were super high and I can’t speak for him.
I can only say that I never asked him to do any of those things for me.
I hope that he’s able to control his emotions a little bit more.
In his exit message, he told me that he was still in the house only because of me.
I really hope that he’s able to fight for himself now that I am gone.
And I was going to be away from her.
And I was never going to back down.
And, for me, that was my way of fighting for her.
She’s a super fan, so what is she going to critique about your game?
I have a potty mouth.
I probably dropped more f-bombs than I have ever done in my entire life.
Maybe because I was forgetting that I was on camera.
But, you know, believe it or not, that happens in theBig Brotherhouse.
You forget that there are cameras and microphones all over the place.
So, yeah, she’s gonna give me a hard time about my language.
