'Big Brother' Shoe Salesman Gets the Boot
Dustin Dishes on the Real Deal With Joe, Why He Saved Eric and What He Thinks of Evel Dick
|
Aug. 20 -- Getting evicted from the 'Big Brother 8' house totally stinks, especially if you volunteer to be a pawn and then get sent packing like Dustin Erikstrup did last week. But being the first jury member to head to the sequester house does have its perks according to the 22-year-old shoe salesman. "I am really looking forward to resting up my mind, resting up my body, and getting a good tan and picking the best bed in the sequester house."
AOL TV's Angel Cohn was under strict orders not to reveal the America's Player twist or discuss conversations Dustin wasn't involved in, but he still spilled the scoop on how he dealt with Joe and why he decided against giving his "courtesy flush" speech about Evel Dick.
Has the shock worn off?
The shock is still there, but overall I'm feeling pretty good that I'm out of the house at this point.
At least you get a week in sequester with no one to bug you.
Or do I? I don't know! You know, double evictions run pretty frequently in the 'Big Brother' house and it's usually about that time, so I'm expecting someone sooner then later.
After watching Joe tell everyone you gave him an STD while you were upstairs, why weren't your first words to everyone, "I didn't give Joe gonorrhea?"
Honestly, I don't feel the need to defend myself in stories that aren't true. Joe decided to dramatize whatever situations happened in his life with whatever STDs he had, and I didn't feel the need to defend myself publicly and make some sort of announcement about it. If people wanted to know the truth, they could come to me and ask the truth.

Were you celebrating the day Joe got voted out?
Yes and no. Yes, because I didn't have to deal with him anymore. Joe was just more of an annoying roommate more than my ex-boyfriend in the house. He was just a person that, in the house, I didn't get along with. He chose to play the game in a manner in which I didn't respect. I didn't really have to campaign for him to leave. He kind of did it to himself!
You don't think you're ever going to be friends?
I can't say it enough. I left him a year ago, I shut the door, and I never looked back. The fact that I was in the house with him for two weeks won't really change the decision that I had a year ago.
Who would you be happier never to see again, Dick or Joe?
You know, it's a tie. It's hard to say who the bigger man is in that one. They're both very immature, very disrespectful and very shallow people.
So what happened to your planned "courtesy flush" speech, saying you were just up on the block as a pawn to get Evel Dick out?
The courtesy flush speech ... it was kind of an arrogant move for me to just kind of be like, "I'm just a courtesy flush for this pile of c---." I was unsure if I would go or stay, and I didn't want to be, you know, the big a-- up there on screen saying something, and then the exact opposite occurring. So, I decided to just keep things nice in my speech, and I'm very glad I did.
You had an inkling?
I definitely had an inkling. I woke up at 4:15 in the morning and saw Eric and Jen chatting quite secretively in the bathroom, and it had been rumored that the two of them had an alliance. I believed that they did, and the fact that they were chatting so late, for both of them to be up and talking so secretively, something was up.
Who do you think was responsible for the switch?
I believe that Eric honestly was inevitably the person to decide to [evict me].
If Eric was responsible, do you regret saving him last week?
Yes and no. I feel regretful in the fact that I went up as a pawn. Do I feel regretful that I chose to save him last week? No. Had I not gone up as a pawn, we would still have the numbers to this day. 'Big Brother' is a numbers game, and choosing to save Eric was more a strategic move then personal.
