Michael, Did you have a strategy going into this game? Did it change at all during the game?
MICHAEL: Going into the game I had no set strategy. I always like to meet my castmates before I decide to do anything. In this game, I pretty much decided to go with the flow. That strategy worked for a little while, but as relationships began to form I had to change. I made friends in this game and my goal was to bring those friends (not an alliance) to the end. I succeeded, although I hurt others along the way. There were a few times when I had to make changes in order to protect myself and those I felt close to, but it was all part of the game and I have no regrets. I had a great time!

You were sharing a house with eleven strangers, what were your first impression of the rest of the cast?
MICHAEL: Frank - Unfortunately, Frank had been evicted so fast that I never really got to form an opinion of him. I do however think that he is a nice guy.
Marileigh - Mari is an absolute angel! She was the first person with whom I bonded in this game. Unfortunately our bond in the game was cut short when we were nominated together in episode two. We have however continued to chat on a regular basis and I really value her friendship
Nick - Nick was my first road block in this game. He still doesn't understand why he was voted out and I'm not going into it right now. I didn't exactly care about the Oasis alliance, however, I did care about one person who had been in that alliance. It challenged our relationship and hurt both of us. Nick was said to have formed that initially, and my goal was to get him out of the game. It worked and I was happy about that. Of course, outside of the game, he's a great guy.
Alex - Like Nick, he bothered me to an extreme! He was another front man in Oasis and to top it off, he had nominated Mari and I. Truthfully, that was another eviction that I liked to see. However, these are all game opinions, and outside, he is great!
Ayane - Pure sugar! She is the sweetest person that I have ever met! I only wished that she had been able to participate more than she did.
Heidi - Heidi is amazing and was one of my 5 closest friends in this game. I betrayed her and for that I am truly sorry. However, her eviction was a strategic move and it worked for the good of the others in the game. I hated doing it. It is my only regret in this game. I'm sorry hun.
Andy - You played this game well! Andy knew how to pull strings and he yanked pretty hard at times. I didn't like the way you played. The deal I made with you was only to keep Cory, Lindsey, Angie and Bethy safe and it worked. You are an awesome guy on the outside of this game, but in the game...
Lindsey - The Big Brother power house! Girl, you kicked ass! I voted for you only because you were up against Angela and I gave her my word at the very beginning of this game. I luv you, I think you are amazing and I pray that we continue to be friends!
I'll give my thoughts of the others at the end of this interview...

You made it to the Final Four, what made you so successful in this game?
MICHAEL: Yes, I made it to the final four and for that I am grateful. What made me so successful? My friends! Without the help of 5 specific people - Heidi, Lindsey, Angela, Cory and Bethany, I would not have made it to this point.

. Were you surprised when you were nominated by Angela? and that Bethany's one vote went to you?
MICHAEL: When Angela told me that she was going to nominate me against Cory I was a little surprised, but she has found a sister in Bethany, so I totally understood. I was a litlle upset because I thought right then that it would be the end for me, but I'm certainly okay with her decision. As for Bethany, I told her as she was trying to decide who to vote for that nothing would change between us if she were to vote for me. We go back before this game and I know that she is a strong player. She has a strong friendship with Cory and obviously thought that it was in her best interest to evict me. Good call hun! You know I love you!

Is there anything you would like to say to the three people still in the house?
MICHAEL:
Bethy - Our friendship will outlast anything that happened within the boundaries of this game. You are an amazing competitor and you have done very well. Keep the pace! Mao still rules!
Cory- My partner in crime. Being nominated against you really put a stop to our goals, but I truly believe that the stronger of the two is still in the house. Stick it to these ladies! I appreciate all of the advice you have offered throughout the game and I am grateful for your friendship. Mari and I will be waiting for you on the outside.
Angela- Baby, you know full well how I feel about you. You are the most amazing person that I have ever met and by far the best person in the house. Forget 1000 miles. I would walk as far as I had to for you. I LOVE YOU TO DEATH! I pray for nothing but the best for you and I will be waiting on the outside with a huge bunch of flowers. God bless you sweetie and good luck!

Lastly, I have to thank Josh and Melinda for their hard work and dedication to this project. You both put your heart and soul into this game and it showed big time. I appreciate that you allowed me to be a part of this experience, It was a blast!

Thank you so much for coming this morning Michael. Good luck to you in the future!
