My husband and my son watched it like they had been watching a Rams recreation, in order that they’re giving me a debrief. However I’m nonetheless utterly misplaced.

Us: You bought backdoored and didn’t even get an opportunity to play within the Veto. Does that make it tougher to just accept that you simply’re first out?

TM: I imply, after all. As a result of I might have fought so arduous to remain in, had I been given the chance. I imply, I personally would have given someone a good battle.

However I used to be like, “Oh, I don’t understand how shortly I’ll have my subsequent competitors, and I don’t need to, like, damage myself up right here.” However had I recognized I used to be going to have a lot time between competitions, I might have held on.

Us: What did you suppose when Miesha didn’t need to make that take care of you, however then had simply given Todrick a deal?

TM: I knew at that second that I used to be a goal.

Us: Let’s speak in regards to the vote. Whose vote stunned you essentially the most?

TM: I might say that I used to be most stunned by Mirai as a result of I actually went to bat for Mirai a number of instances in the home. I don’t understand how a lot was proven. She gave me a glance once we had been sitting there, like, “You’re going to be OK.” And in order that was form of surprising to me, however I do know that she would do something to win. So I assume it’s not that surprising.

Us: She is an Olympian…

TM: Is sensible. Yeah. I imply, I used to be, like, there’s solely a lot we are able to fake that she will’t deal with the strain. She’s been to the Olympics a couple of time.

Us: I do know you informed Julie [Chen] that you simply felt most betrayed by Todrick in that second. Are you able to speak somewhat bit about your relationship with him? When did that collapse?

TM: I didn’t notice, however I assume our relationship was by no means truly actual as a result of from the very get-go, even once we fashioned our alliance, he had already been telling folks and my alliance that he didn’t need me in there. So, I assume no matter relationship I assumed we had was false to him. However, I form of knew as a result of he was pulling on folks’s heartstrings, like he was [saying], “I’m having to fund my very own tour” and all these items and like, “That is such a giant factor for me. I have to win financially.” And that’s the place you actually get folks as a result of a few of us are simply taking part in the sport. However then he, in direction of the tip, he would say issues like, “Oh yeah, I used to be contemplating shopping for a $250,000 Wizard of Oz costume, and also you’re like, “What? One thing’s not monitoring right here.” Like, you’re financially all proper you probably have a movie show in your own home and also you’re shopping for $250,000 costumes.

Us: We did we did hear somewhat bit about some rigidity with another houseguests. Did you’ve arguments with anybody else in the home that we didn’t get to see?

We didn’t see that, however he simply form of threw round some phrases that weren’t nice, and I used to be like, “My youngsters are going to see this and I would like you to cease saying this earlier than we go reside.” And so we had a second. Had I recognized I wasn’t secure, I in all probability would have simply let it roll off my shoulders. However I assumed I used to be secure within the second and doing the most effective factor for the home as a result of he was form of saying it to everyone, so I made a giant mistake there.

Us: How was your relationship with Chris Kirkpatrick?

TM: I knew he was taking part in the sport. I imply, he was taking part in the sport arduous, and there was a few issues that occurred in the home the place I actually had his again. However, I imply, his degree of fan obsession with Miesha, there was nothing I used to be going to do to interrupt that.

Us: Yeah, he was somewhat starstruck.

TM: I used to be like, “Pay attention, I’m not going to be kissing the ring right here.”

Us: How do you suppose you’ll have fared in opposition to Mirai within the vote?

TM: Oh, I feel that may have been the identical consequence as a result of they had been in an alliance collectively. And as soon as it was someone that continued to be of their alliance, and a powerful participant of their alliance, I knew I had no shot.

Us: Who will you continue to speak to after the sport? Who do you need to be pals with?

TM: Cynthia and Carson, and despite the fact that Shanna in the end went in opposition to me, I’ll nonetheless speak to her as a result of I do know she’s taking part in the sport arduous as a result of her household and her life. And, you understand, she’s been wronged a variety of instances, and I in the end have empathy for her. And I feel Lamar [Odom] is freaking hilarious.

Us: Shanna did cry while you left. She was fairly upset that she needed to vote you out.

TM: I do know she did what she needed to do. She knew that I wasn’t going to have the ability to keep. Oh, you understand what? And Chris Kattan was man too.

Us: Your dad [John Mellencamp] posted a very humorous Instagram that made some headlines. He was like, “I don’t know what present Teddi’s on, however it premieres tonight!” What did you inform him about what you had been doing?

TM: Properly, not a lot. I simply informed him that we couldn’t speak for doubtlessly one month. And so I attempted to clarify it to him, however he is likely one of the solely folks aside from my household that reside in my home with me that I’ve spoken to. He referred to as final night time. He simply mentioned, “I’m so pleased with you, honey. Me and your brothers watched and also you performed with integrity, and that’s all I may ever ask for from my daughter.” And it made me emotional as a result of that’s that was my one aim. Like, I wanted to play a good recreation.

Us: You actually did come to play. As a fan of the present, it was very nice to see that as a result of typically celebrities go in there and so they’re like, “No matter, I don’t care if I depart.”

TM: And I don’t know if you happen to noticed this, however did you guys see Miesha and Chris Kirkpatrick attempt to get me to activate Carson? And I wouldn’t. So I’m scared he’s the following to go.

Us: Are you rooting for Carson and Cynthia to win?

TM: Yeah, and Shanna. Regardless that she turned on me, I’m rooting for my total “Quatro” alliance. That was our title.

Us: Talking of alliances, it appeared like a bunch of them didn’t maintain. What did you concentrate on “Formation”? Did you suppose that was going to final?

TM: Properly, I used to be warned previous to going into the home to not belief Todrick by somebody that personally is aware of him. However, he was so beautiful to me at first that I fell for it, however I by no means approached them for an alliance. They got here to me. So, I feel that’s why I believed it. Nonetheless, I knew you can’t preserve an alliance of six for that lengthy.

Us: Did you’ve any hesitation about doing the present?

TM: I really like a problem. I like to compete. So, the one hesitation was to depart my household. However in any other case, it was good to not have my telephone. I used to be capable of have a break from social media, like, all that form of stuff was a constructive. However the paranoia recreation is excessive in that home. It’s unbelievable.

Us: Do you’ve any regrets? Something you suppose you might have achieved to remain within the recreation?

I used to be loyal to the folks I mentioned I’d be loyal to, and any time I alter my thoughts, I used to be straight-forward to it. Finally, I assume I may have performed much less arduous within the first competitors, however I needed to have the ability to present my youngsters, like, you need to win, you bought to strive arduous.
