Big Brother Craze

One thing I noticed last night was that Julie cut her interview short with Mike during the show. I figured they were running late and had to rush through some things - but she didn’t tell him about the America’s Player twist! Around the Internets, folks pointed that out as well and suggested maybe he might be going back in because of it - not so! In the interviews on CBS this morning, Julie Chen spoke to Mike and they spoke about the twist. Part of that interview is available here. (Flash - thanks for the link TVBloggin!)

Other interviews, the first of many, can be found at:

Entertainment Weekly - where he is asked about his and Kail’s speeches and game play.

How much time did you spend on your speech? It was well done.
I came up with it an hour before the actual ceremony. I didn’t want to trip over any words, and I wanted to have a direction to go in on the live show. I think it went fairly well and came out the way I wanted it to.

What did you think of Kail’s ”Let me stay so we can build the bonds we’ve started to grow” speech? It sounded a little…weird to someone watching the show.
It certainly came off weird, and I don’t think anyone really bought it. I think the only reason she stayed around is because they can sort of use her to their advantage now for the next week or two, and they got out a stronger player.

So you do think you had more game than her?
She kinda dealt her cards too fast and was rash in her decision, and kinda put us in the position that we got in — being the reason I’m sitting here now talking to you on the phone. My gameplay wasn’t exactly working out to my advantage, but I think it was working out a little more than Kail’s.

The Slug - where we find out about possible modeling jobs in the future:

The Slug: You’re a model. Now that you have some “Big Brother” fame, would pose nude for the right amount of money?
Mike Dutz: No. Definitely not anything that would expose full nudity. No, I wouldn’t do that.
The Slug: Just semi-nudity?
Mike Dutz: Yeah, I would want to leave some mystery to myself.

(which is kinda funny with the famed Best Speeches You Tube Video making the rounds…)

And, of course, Buddy TV where we get more on Eric, America’s player.

OK, and who do you think is going to win the whole thing? Who do you think can last it out? Right now, I’ve got my bet on Eric.

On America’s Player? On America’s Player.

How did you react when you found out about that twist? I was certainly surprised, I had no idea that there was another twist involved in the house, and a great twist, a funny twist at that, and I do plan on participating in that as I watch along now with the rest of the season.

I’m sure there will be many more - but these will get you started!
