All summer long, The Wrap journalist Josef Adalian (or Joey ‘Dals, as I am wont to call him) has been interviewing Big Brother executive producer Allison Grodner after every eviction. She often provides interesting tidbits about the previous week and little teasers about what’s to come. Well, the season is over now; so Mr. Adalian was able to get one last interview with the BB head honcho. The responses range from amusing to interesting, but what intrigued me the most was Grodner’s reaction to Natalie’s reasoning behind why Jessie didn’t vote for her during the finale. For those who haven’t been following the post-game interviews, Natalie has claimed that Jessie more or less wanted to DO HER and that she spurned his romantic overtures because she’s a taken woman. Natalie then insisted that in her goodbye message to Jessie, she told him off, which surely made him bitter (a state that was only exacerbated by her later engagement, which she claims made Jessie super jealous). If all this sounds fishy, that’s because it is. And when Natalie made these wild claims in front of Julie Chen and the finale audience, audible snickers and moans could be heard from the crowd. After all, Natalie spent two months idolizing Jessie. It simply doesn’t make sense that she’d suddenly reveal that she’d told him off in her goodbye message (when just moments later she was crying for him at the dinner table and in the diary room). It sounded like another Natalie lie, which gets me back to Allison Grodner, who doesn’t necessarily accuse the loathed houseguest of duplicity (after all, she has an obligation to be nice to all of them), but I think we can read between the lines on this one:

Joey ‘Dals: Some of the final votes were shockers. Like Jessie voting for Jordan.

Grodner: It was surprising. I never would’ve thought he’d choose Jordan over Natalie. Natalie claims something in her goodbye message was nasty to Jessie. But nobody here remembers that. I think something happened in the jury house, maybe with Lydia, to change his mind.

“Nobody here remembers that.” Translation: SHE’S A LYING IDIOT!!! (My words, not hers)

  1. These claims Natalie has made are really pissing me off because none of the people doing the interviews are calling her out on it!
    How dare she lie to the Chenbot!

  2. They are holding to Jessie’s saying Hakuna Matata. We all know that Jessie has no idea what coup d’etat means and we all also know that Jessie misheard them saying coup d’etat and came up with cooma tata on his own. Further proof of this is from his making up of words.
