'Big Brother 10''s Jerry MacDonald: EW's exit interview

EW.com talked to Jerry MacDonald, the 75-year-old great-grandpa from Texas, about feeling lonely in the house, fighting with Dan, and how he didn’t really touch April’s boobs in the beginning of the season. (When you're done reading, click here for Josh Wolk's hilarious recap of last night's episode.)

Exclusive Interview: Jerry, from 'Big Brother 10'

Give props to Jerry. There may have been some minor floating involved in his ascent to final three on Big Brother 10, but the man is 75 years old. He did something right to make it that far. Despite being from a different generation than anyone else inside the Big Brother house, Jerry was able to interact with his fellow houseguests. Jerry wasn't a great social player, but he probably did better than a typical man in his mid-seventies would have. And, don't forget - the man also won two Head of Households. That's nothing to sneeze at. Only Dan had more on Big Brother 10.

* Note from RealityBitesBack: Yes i asked several more questions, yes they were all centered around jerry being a jerkoff, and no either cbs or jerry decided to edit them out. i guess if you are tv guide you get to give out game information, but if you are asking the questions people care about...

Jerry on The Early Show

A few more Interviews w/ Keesha

Exclusive Interview: Keesha, from 'Big Brother 10'

Memphis and Dan, you know, they probably did the right thing getting rid of Keesha. Jerry has almost zero chance beating either Renegade in the final multi-part Head of Household competition, whereas Keesha may have had a fighting chance. But, that doesn't make it right. In all likelihood, they would have won out over Keesha. Might as well let her stay in the game. They were all friends and, even if they don't want to admit it, Keesha was a key cog in the alliance that got them this far on Big Brother 10. Keesha was kind enough to complete an email interview with us today after she was evicted from the Big Brother house. You can read the full and unedited transcript below.

Big Brother's Keesha Dishes on Being Backstabbed

As this season of Big Brother winds toward its conclusion, each eviction becomes a little harder to swallow — especially when it's a former alliance member giving you the boot. For Keesha Smith, it was a fellow houseguest who had promised to sit beside her at the end of the game that cast the sole vote to evict her. Here, she sounds off on being betrayed, living and fighting with a 75-year-old man and what's she's most looking forward to in the jury house.

Head of Household #9: Dan

Wow, what a ride this entire game has been. There have been so many ups and downs it is crazy! I had the chance to leave the house for a day and it was a very strange feeling. The helicopter ride was out of this world, I enjoyed it so much, I managed to see Memphis' Bar, Keesha's Restaurant, and a whale in the ocean! (not to mention all of the spectacular tourist type locations) Being outside of the house for a short period of time made me realize how fast this stay has gone in the house. I know some people may complain a lot about being in the house, but it has (scary enough) become my new home. I was almost missing the fact of being locked in a house with 3 other people, which is borderline insane. I enjoy every minute I am in the house and am very appreciative of all the support of my family, girlfriend, friends, students/faculty of Orchard Lake St. Mary's, and of course the fans (what few fans I may have left, hahahah).

Keesha's Interviews

Exclusive Keesha Interview!

RealityBitesBack.com: One of the most notable memories is the bond that seemed to form between yourself and Renny. Is it for real, and did you expect to meet someone you would get so close to?

Keesha: The bond between Renny and myself is very real. I would never thought in a million years that Renny and myself would have ever had the relationship that we did. I absolutely love Renny.

BB10: Interview with Keesha: "It is very hard to trust anyone in that house."

As we get nearer to the finale, CBS gets more careful with the jury members, suspecting jury taint in every question. So I apologize for the brevity of this interview, as a few of FORT’s questions did not make it past the CBS filter. We’re not left with much, but Keesha Smith, the Hooters waitress from Burbank, CA, gives us a glimpse into her head just as she leaves the game in fourth place.

Mom on CBS reality show gives shout-out to AU

Fans of CBS' "Big Brother" no doubt have noticed a state connection.

Renny Martyn, one of the final five vying for the top prize of $500,000, is often wandering around the "Big Brother" house in Auburn shirts.

Why? Because her son, Patrick "Sparky" Martyn was a punter for the Tigers until 2006.

Patrick, 24, and his sister, Paris, 27, convinced their mom to audition for the CBS show, which sticks 13 people in a house together, cut off from the outside world. One person is voted out of the house each week, and the last one standing wins the money.

"My mom's not really into reality shows, but she loves 'Big Brother' and 'Survivor,'" says Patrick, who lives in Metairie, a suburb of New Orleans, with his parents. "Me and my sister kept checking the CBS site, and all of a sudden, saw they were having auditions in New Orleans."

How CBS Can Improve 'Big Brother' for 'Big Brother 11'

Television executives aren't stupid. Oftentimes, they may seem like it. But, trust me, they're not. This does not mean that they don't make a lot of horrible, horrible decisions. Because they do, all the time. TV is a high-stakes business, where millions of dollars are often pumped into series that turn out to be abject failures. It's a business where shows that seem like absolute slam dunks crash and burn and after-thoughts meant to be schedule fillers set the world on fire. You can't ever predict what will catch on with the general public. Likewise, you never know how changes to long-running shows will be digested by that show's fans. Big Brother has evolved over the years.

BB10: Interview with Renny: "Age is always a factor."

On the outs this week was Renny Martyn, the beauty salon owner from New Orleans, Louisiana. One of two parental figures in the house this season, Renny had her motherly moments giving haircuts and hugs, but she also had plenty of wild times. She also showed clearly that being the house mom doesn’t equate with being spineless.

Wig Out: Big Brother 10's Renny on Her Eviction

Between her multiple wigs and boas as vibrant as her personality, Renny Martyn definitely brought plenty of color to the Big Brother house this season. Her antics kept us (and her fellow houseguests) entertained, but her charm was ultimately seen as her biggest threat, causing the other players to evict her rather than possibly sitting beside her at the end. We chatted with Renny about her feelings toward Memphis, her sleepwalking and whether her not her many wigs symbolize her multiple personalities.

Exlcusive Interview: Renny, from 'Big Brother 10'

After all that we've seen on Big Brother, it is near impossible to dislike Renny. Call her annoying, call her insane, call her volatile, whatever, Renny's overarching goodness is difficult to ignore. The New Orleans lady about town played a solid game, putting forth a veiled sort of intelligence. Renny knows people, and generally held all the right suspicions about her fellow houseguests, especially later in the Big Brother season. Her presence will be missed, though I'd love some footage of Renny defending Keesha's honor in the jury house. Renny kindly answered some email questions we sent her before making the long trek to the jury house.

Head of Household #8: Jerry

I am so fortunate to have been blessed with a wonderful family. Being the patriarch of such beautiful people adds meaning to the value of life. These four individuals that are remaining are my last obstacle to my winning big brother ten. I have learned to respect them all, yet I want to win the game. I thank God for my health and hope that Joanne and I have many good years in front of us. I will always be her knight in shining armor.

Please bless the troops around the world and the veterans that have given their lives and limbs because of their love of country we live free.

The abandoned animal shelter in Tomball,TX has been in existence for about five years and has adopted out about 3500 cats and dogs. It is a no kill shelter and such a pleasure to experience. If anyone wishes to support this shelter please do so and say Jerry sent you.

God bless each and every person.

Jenn from BB9 spills the beans

Rumor....Ryan and I broke up....FACT! Yes, its true, Ryan and I are no longer together. Long story short....ever since he got back from the Big Brother 9 house things have been a little different. Some may say that reality TV changed us, but in actuality, it changed him. Everyone expected me to come back soaking up my 15 minutes of fame and instead, Ryan is soaking it up! He loves to be recognized! Especially when he is with Matty! Which brings me to Matty.....Ryan went to visit Matt in Boston and was supposed to stay for 3 days. I thought I could trust him. I mean after all, I trusted him in the Big Brother house for 3 months and he was an angel...how could I not? Well, there was one day/night that I repeatedly tried to call/text him telling him that I missed him and that I was thinking about him and couldn't wait to see him. After no response via text or call back I became a female and began psycho dialing him! After all he was with Matty..."America's Player" also known as well, lets not go there. Matty needs his own blog because I could go on about him for days, but its not my place. So after psycho dialing Ryan he decided to not only NOT answer, but turn his phone off instead! Not Ryan....at all, which made me very suspicious. Ryan then called me the next morning and the first thing I said to him was that he had a lot of explaining to do and all he said to me was, "Babe, I am sorry but I am not coming home today." "I am going to Newport Harbor with the guys and I don't know when I will be home!" The rest of this story is history. He ended up coming home 3 days later than expected and things just weren't the same. I, to this day, still have no idea what went on in Boston. About a week later I went online to pay our cell phone bill and had an intuition. As you all know, when girls have intuitions, they are genearlly right! So I browsed his call log and much to my surprise, I found a particular number that kept coming up in his phone repeatedly....a 774 number. I picked up his phone and dialed the number and it came up as KEVIN 187's work number. Kevin is one of Matty's friends in Boston. I wondered why Ryan would be calling Kevin at WORK at these crazy hours so I called Kevin's work number. Surprise surprise.....it was Christine, some 19 year-old girl that Ryan hooked up with in Boston. Yes, Ryan admitted it. He cheated and I can almost guarantee that she wasn't the only one that he cheated on me with. Of course Ryan is to blame, but I blame Matty also. I talked to Matty several times while Ryan was out there and Matty continued to assure me that I had a great boyfriend who loves me so much and that I had nothing to worry about...Ha ha ha ha....lies lies lies! Some friend Matty is/was to me. Once we broke up and I moved out I heard a bunch more rumors. Are they true? I might never know.

Rumor....Did Ryan have a threesome with Matty and another girl... FACT/FICTION?! I really don't know. Ryan doesn't deny or confirm it, but his friends from home say its true. Is Ryan making it up or did it really happen? Again, I have no idea. I really want to believe it isn't true because the Ryan I know and love(d) would never do something like that....what guy would....WITH ANOTHER GUY?! Honestly, I don't even think I want to know.

Rumor....Ryan and I are getting back together....FICTION! I gave my life to Ryan. I gave him everything I had to offer and I got burned. It's hard to bounce back from something like that. It would be almost impossible for me to ever trust him again. I can't just turn off my feelings and love for him, but as for right now, no, Ryan and I have gone our separate ways. Even though he did me wrong, it's extremely hard to walk away. He was my soul mate and I really thought I would spend the rest of my life with him. I cried for weeks and occasionally I still find myself crying, but over what?! It's spilled milk that can never be cleaned. I am extremely hurt but I will survive. I am a very strong woman who needs to search inside myself to find that independence that I once had. It's going to take some time and believe me, I am in no rush! Ryan and I have our ups and downs, but we know we owe it to each other to depart on good terms. He will be at my going away party and we have planned to hang out with each other one more time before I leave. We are going to go to sushi or lunch, something we enjoyed doing together while we dated (not sex). It's going to be hard, but I think I need that for closure. He still holds a large part of my heart and that will probably never go away. Love is a crazy thing! I wish nothing but the best for him.

Rumor....Alex (BB9) bought me a plane ticket to vacation with him in his villa in Newport Beach, California....FACT! Once everyone got word that Ryan and I broke up, Alex, being the amazing guy that he is, offered to fly me out to his villa to get away. He though I could use the vaca to have a good time and forget about all the drama back home and I did exactly that! I had a blast! I have continued to thank Alex from the bottom of my heart for his generosity. We had a great time together! While out there, I also met up with Daniele (BB8)Parker, Chelsia, Crazy James, and Sheila! I had a great time. Chelsia and I have a lot in common, which we knew we would because we have similar personalities. Alex had to go back to New York a day before me so I spent my last day with Chelsia and we had so much fun! We went to the Farmer's Market and the Grove to have lunch and do a little shopping. While having a glass of wine, we stumbled upon one on Memphis' (BB10) friends that he works with. We all talked about how proud we were of Memphis and said that he was playing a great game.

Rumor...Alex and I are dating....FICTION! Alex and I are great friends and we will be friends for life. He lives in New York and I live....well we will save that for the next rumor :) I adore Alex and I am not counting the possibility of a future with him out, but as of right now, no, we are not dating. I will be planning a visit to Staten Island soon, however to see him and our manager Johnny aka one of Alex's best friends! I call him Johnny Drama....like Entourage! I should call him "E" for all you Entourage fans, but Drama fits him! Much love to Johnny....and his amazing family! His mom can cook! What Italian New Yorker can't!? You better believe I will pay a visit to the Tremmil family when I go to Staten Island! Love you guys!

Rumor...I am moving to San Diego, California....FACT! My mom and I are trucking it....cross country to San Diego, California at the end of September. I am moving in with one of my best friends/sorority sisters/adopted BIG from college. Her name is Jill. Jill and I have been planning to move to California since we graduated from BGSU! She went, I didn't. I have always had a guy and that's what held me back. Not any more! I am going for it! It's going to be a big move, but what better time for me to do it then right now! What do I have to lose?! The only thing keeping me in Ohio is my parents and extended family. I will be working as a recruiter for AMN Health care, Inc. and I am really excited about it. It's not teaching, but it will get me started! I would be crazy to move without any job at all!

Rumor....I am going to the BB10 finale....FACT! I will be present at the finale and wrap party for Big Brother 10! I am bringing my friend Lindsey and we leave on the 16th. We will arrive in LA around 10:45 in the morning and Parker is picking us up! I am excited to go back! Stay tuned to my and Chelsia's new tattoos that we plan to get together! I return to the Buckeye state on the 20th and leave on the 29th for San Diego!

Who am I rooting for to win BB10? I loved Keesha from day one so I would like to see her take home the half million! If Dan or Memphis take it, I would be okay with that too. I believe all 3 of them have played a great game! I like Renny too, but it looks like she may be going home tomorrow! I like the close friendship that Renny and Keesha have and I hope they continue that friendship outside of the house. I can't wait to meet Renny...she's a hoot!

So that's that! I hope I answered all of your burning questions and put an end to the rumors! Thank you all for your support during these crazy times and I look forward to hearing your responses! Take care and much love to you all!

Fans wanna know........ from Natalie

How I have been doing and what I'm up to. Well life is great:) I've been going after some more dreams of mine, like pursuing an art career. Every day I paint and working hard on my new gallery. I get alot of messages from people getting a little upset because i haven't responded to them........pleasssssseeeeeeee dont take it personally and get upset!! I get alot of messages and it is very hard to make everyone happy and to keep up with everyone! I don't copy and paste at all! So when you hear from me, its me actually thinking and typing you a message. I really love all my fans and want to make everyone happy. I've also been making fans personal paintings of their kids and family. Which is alot of fun for me because I love to share my art and make people happy. I just want everyone to know that I am trying my hardest to respond to you all and I love all of you so much. Life is pretty demanding after being on BB:) Everyone and their mother and father wants to meet me, go here, go there! Unfortunately Im not able to go any where. Matty wants me to visit, Baller wants me to visit, ryan wants me to visit, Parker wants me to come to wrap party, family wants me to go to california...Man oHHH man i could really use a twin right now. I wish I could go to the BB10 wrap party but Im not going to be able to go:( Its time for me to focus on what I want to do for the rest of my life and focus on being successful and fullfilling more of my dreams. So thats what Ive been up to just painting, opened gallery in salem oregon and finally got y online store up and running. So if any one would like something from me just go to artbynatalie.com and I have paintings, autographed photos, stuff I wore on Big Brother, beaded jewelry, posters and alot more still to come. So check back with the online store daily as I will be adding items daily. I am no longer going to be selling on ebay, at least for now. So check out my site instead. I had to do something for all my out of state fans. Thank you so much for continuing to love, care about me and what I'm up to:) I love you all so much!!!

Love, Natty
