"All seemed to be going well for returning player Janelle Pierzina in the Big Brother house. While she started off as a coach to a group of newbies, she and her fellow vets chose to enter the game, effectively resetting all that had come before. Though wavering on her attempts to form an alliance with the older players following the change-up, Janelle was hesitant to sacrifice one of her former newbies as a show of dedication, and the move cost her - big time. Falling victim to Boogie - who was responsible for her exit during two prior seasons of the game - the 32-year-old Minnesota native was blindsided and evicted during Thursday night&amp;#039;s live broadcast.  We caught up with Janelle to hear her thoughts on the game and how she feels about those responsible. Were you surprised that eight of your nine housemates voted against you? &amp;quot;Well, I knew I was going home for sure. I knew that there was a deal that had been made. Obviously it was meant for me to be backdoored, but I definitely figured that Ashley would have thrown me a vote, but what the heck was she thinking? Even Wil - do these players not think that there was something going on in the house? Why would they not want to keep me in the house? I helped their game.&amp;quot; You were once friends with Britney in the house. Did it hurt that she voted for you to leave? &amp;quot;I knew that Britney... that&amp;#039;s what really hurts me. I love Britney. She&amp;#039;s so nice and we did stuff together all the time in the house. Did I know she was lying? Yeah, there were definite signs this week, especially when Joe told me she had immediately gone to Wil and told him what was going on. I thought it was Danielle. When she had betrayed me that day, I knew she was probably doing something to get me out of the house. I like Britney as a person, but I feel like she did not like that I was such a fan favourite and I feel like she would use that against me in the game. I don&amp;#039;t know what happened, but clearly she had a vendetta for me because I was a fan favourite.&amp;quot;  You had an interesting conversation with Britney in which she pointed out that you seem to have no emotions. What is the real Janelle like? &amp;quot;I think Britney was trying to size me up as a player, not so much as a person. I try to play Big Brother without emotion as much as I can because I want to be strategic. I don&amp;#039;t want to be emotional and get upset and go after people for personal reasons. I think she was surprised and saw it as a threat that I wasn&amp;#039;t emotional.&amp;quot;   You seem quite angry with Britney for voting you out, but she wasn&amp;#039;t the one who mastermined it. Shouldn&amp;#039;t you be a bit more upset with Dan? &amp;quot;I&amp;#039;m not really upset with Dan because he definitely gave me a heads up several times that I was leaving. So I think, he&amp;#039;s the only person in the house that told me - for him to tell me, I really appreciate that, you know?&amp;quot;  Could you have done anything to prove you were willing to work with the coaches? &amp;quot;I think my weeks prior with Dan, in week one or week two, I told him that if I was to go into the game, I would take one of my players and work with Dan and one of his players. I thought I was gaining some trust with him, but I&amp;#039;m an incredibly loyal person. As much as I would have liked to say &amp;#039;Screw Joe&amp;#039; and take Wil or Ashley forward, I couldn&amp;#039;t throw them under the bus and nominate them. He saw that as a threat that he had to get me out of the house now because I had people in the house I wasn&amp;#039;t ready to turn on. I really wasn&amp;#039;t.&amp;quot;  What would you have done differently the first three weeks had you known you were going to go into the game as a player? &amp;quot;I had a pretty good idea I was going to come into the game. I wouldn&amp;#039;t really change anything. The promise is that this week, I just could not get power. I couldn&amp;#039;t play the PoV, I couldn&amp;#039;t win the endurance competition. I had been working with Britney and Dan earlier in the game and I also worked on keeping as many team members in the house as I could. I thought that was a huge thing, to keep so many players in the game for so many reasons. It&amp;#039;s great to have your ex-players in the game.&amp;quot;  Was your eviction strategic or personal? &amp;quot;It&amp;#039;s a little bit of both. It was strategic because I&amp;#039;m definitely a huge threat in the game. I can save myself when I&amp;#039;m on the block and able to play the PoV and I&amp;#039;ve proven that many times in the past. On a personal level, people wanted me out of the house because they didn&amp;#039;t want me to get close to America&amp;#039;s Choice or any of that. It scares people, I think.&amp;quot;    Your rivalry with Boogie is one of the best in Big Brother history. Do you get along outside the game? &amp;quot;Even after All-Stars, I kept in touch with Boogie. He&amp;#039;s just not the nicest guy. He doesn&amp;#039;t have many female friends. I probably won&amp;#039;t keep in contact with him because he made this season extremely personal, coming after me because Wil told him to or whatever his reason was. I&amp;#039;m assuming it was a personal vendetta against me. I try not to play personal.&amp;quot;  Are you able to look at the game diplomatically now or do you hold a grudge for those who voted you out? &amp;quot;For Wil and Ashley, I forgive them because they&amp;#039;re so new at this game and so easily manipulated. Dan I completely forgive because he gave me the heads up on several occasions - he&amp;#039;s the only person who said that to me, and I really appreciate that.&amp;quot; Is there a chance you would ever return to the game or head to another reality series? &amp;quot;I don&amp;#039;t know! I mean, I would hope so. If the offer were on the table, I would definitely consider it but I do have a life back in Minnesota with the love of my life and my daughter. But probably not - I don&amp;#039;t live out here and I won&amp;#039;t ever move. My life is in Minneapolis.&amp;quot; Big Brother airs Wednesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays on CBS "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
