Its showtime.....

Tiffany Rousso was evicted from Rise & Fall 15 last night making her the eighth member of the Jury. Tiffany was also nominated eight times and was the underdog for most of the season until, she kicked it into high gear and managed to win all of the crucial competitions she needed to secure her safety, Unfortunately for her she wasn't able to survive this week.

Now on the way to the jury house we had a chance to talk with Tiffany about her game and about some of those choices she made along the way


tiffany Welcome, Thanks for taking the time to answer our questions, Love you !! You were very entertaining to watch and I enjoyed our talks Congrats on making it to the jury

boog : Tiffany! You were such a fun houseguest to root for. It seemed like it was you vs the world in the beginning and eventually you got a bit of footing and managed to get to the final 4! Iconic tbh you should be very proud . So you lost the veto this week and Mad Luna sent you out the door, walk us through your campaign to him. Do you think he made a mistake?


ika : We saw you on the block soooo many times this season and yet you still fought your way through the game. Why do you think you were such an easy target to be nominated?

boog : Give us your take on the final 3. Tell us what is good about their games and what isn't. Be as honest as possible and don't hold back! 

ika : Are you proud of how you played? Do you have any regrets?

ika : You are a member of the jury so what are some things that you take into consideration when casting your vote for a winner? Is there anyone you would vote for in a heartbeat? & on the flip side, anyone you would never vote for?

boog : Give us your prediction on the final HOH competition. Who do you think is most likely to win? Who do you see as the final 2?

boog :Thank you Tiffany! We will be seeing you back here on finale night where you will help crown the winner of Rise & Fall 15! Unfortunately due to the low numbers and Mad Luna having to publicly evict you, you didn't have any goodbye messages. Sorry


Thanks Tiffany, as always ika & boog signing off until next time when we talk to the final member of the jury...... Who has what it takes??

Kalia, Natalie and Mad Luna are popping champagne.
Who do you want to win Rise & Fall 15?
And who do you think will win?
Will the jury be bitter ?

Tiffany! You were such a fun houseguest to root for. It seemed like it was you vs the world in the beginning and eventually you got a bit of footing and managed to get to the final 4! Iconic tbh you should be very proud . So you lost the veto this week and Mad Luna sent you out the door, walk us through your campaign to him. Do you think he made a mistake?

I had so much fun in this game, even though it was VERY frustrating at times for me. It really did feel like it was me vs. the world at certain points. I wouldn't have signed up to play if I didn't think I had a shot at making it to the endgame, but the way things went during the game, I am maybe a little bit surprised to have lasted as long as I did. I knew as soon as I saw what the pov was going to be, that I had no shot at winning that. LOL But I was confident enough in my deals with Nat and Kalia to evict Mad Luna over me, and thought that Mad Luna would be smart enough to realize that Kalia was and is the much bigger threat! Campaigning to Mad Luna was basically me leaving him various messages on the forum and through AIM during that 24 hour period. I threw everything at him. I told him we should make it a Season 18 final 3 with me, him and Nat. I told him that members of the jury would NOT vote for me, and that Kalia had almost no enemies. He also would have stood a greater chance at outperforming me in the final comp. And of course, I told him that if he kept me, that I would take him to the final 2, and that's not really something I take lightly. I do think he made a mistake in evicting me and keeping Kalia, which I'm sure he'll realize soon enough.


We saw you on the block soooo many times this season and yet you still fought your way through the game. Why do you think you were such an easy target to be nominated?

You know what? I came into the game, ready and willing to fight for my spot, and that's what I had to do from Day 1. I was very surprised when Kalia won that first hoh by such a huge landslide, that I knew there had to have been deals made. I found myself nominated for communication reasons, which was also used in later weeks. But I don't think that anyone can say that I did not try to talk to people. I put in the effort, time and again, and when it wasn't reciprocated, there comes a point when you just have to say 'enough is enough'. That was the way it was with Meg for example. I think people already being in alliances had a lot to do with why I was always on the block. I think maybe in week 1, I was somebody's Direct Target. At the very least, I know that Meg and Kalia had worked on the noms together. And I think because I was always on the block, it became the thing to do. lol But every time I was up there, I fought to stay. And there were a few people were remained loyal to me throughout and helped me week after week, which I greatly appreciated.


Give us your take on the final 3. Tell us what is good about their games and what isn't. Be as honest as possible and don't hold back!

I think this final 3 isn't super surprising, looking at the way the game started.

I know Mad Luna can be social (even though he is always on AIM and takes years to reply to you) and that he was close to a few of the boys as well as the girls. So he has that social game going for him, but he's made some questionable moves. I think when he threw me and Jee to the wolves that he was going to have to win out to get to the end, which he's proven he may be able to do. I think his first big mistake was evicting Corey over Kalia, and again when he evicted me over Kalia.

Kalia and I have had our ups and downs, but I've really come to respect her as a player, and I'm glad that we were able to come together at the end. I feel like she has the most support in the jury right now. Erika was the only person to legitimately take a shot at taking her out. I'm not sure how she was able to gather a group of people who would never turn on her when she's clearly a huge threat.

I think Natalie is super sweet and is the underdog right now. And I love me a good underdog. Kalia and Nat are probably closer than Kalia and Mad Luna, but Nat will likely have the toughest time in the final hoh comp looking at history. That being said, Natalie's won a couple of HoH's where she wasn't afraid of making moves to try to take the boys down. I think if Mad Luna wins the final HoH, he needs to take her over Kalia. And I think if Kalia has been loyal to Nat this whole time, Nat should be sitting in the final 2 regardless of who wins.


Are you proud of how you played? Do you have any regrets?

I am proud of how I played. I had to fight a lot to prove I wanted and deserved to be here. I didn't give up one time, and there were plenty of times where other people may have. lol I think I was loyal to who I felt was loyal to me, but when I needed to, I made tough choices that I thought were good ideas at the time. If I could change a couple of decisions I made, I would. Because clearly, I'm sitting in here and not in one of those final 2 chairs. One regret for sure was not evicting Mad Luna when I saved Jee with the pov. But me and Jee trusted Mad Luna, so it made sense for me to keep both of them in the game and to try to get rid of Meg, who I knew wouldn't have my back. And I'm not sure if giving Jee the chance to stay last week would have made any difference in the way the game will turn out, but I do regret that our relationship has suffered because of it. Or maybe I don't because everything I've done in the game was in the context of the game and I don't appreciate being called a "fucking idiot".


You are a member of the jury so what are some things that you take into consideration when casting your vote for a winner? Is there anyone you would vote for in a heartbeat? & on the flip side, anyone you would never vote for?

Like I said earlier, I like a good underdog story, but I like to take everything that's happened into consideration. Where a person started, where they are now, decisions they made, the way they interacted with people, a balance of things really. I'd most likely vote for the player whose game I respect the most. I also want to vote for the person who wants it the most. On the flip side, I probably wouldn't vote for someone who was lying all the time.


Give us your prediction on the final HOH competition. Who do you think is most likely to win? Who do you see as the final 2?

With part 1 now being a one hour speed comp, I'll give the edge to Mad Luna or Kalia. But for Part 3, I'd five the edge to Nat. She seems to have a handle on the game events and who said what type of things. So if Nat's deciding who to take with her, I'd expect her to go with Kalia, since Mad Luna's been a target of hers for weeks and her and K have an alliance. But I wouldn't be surprised if she evicted Kalia because she knows she's a threat, and with her out of the picture, she'd snatch up all of the girls' votes most likely. So I predict Natalie and Mad Luna in the final 2.


Thank you Tiffany! We will be seeing you back here on finale night where you will help crown the winner of Rise & Fall 15! Unfortunately due to the low numbers and Mad Luna having to publicly evict you, you didn't have any goodbye messages. Sorry

I demand good-bye messages! lol

Thank you ladies! It's been a pleasure chatting with you at various times when most of my housemates didn't seem to want to. Thank you to the rest of the staff for your input and your support, I'm glad I could entertain you with Paranoid Tiffany. Thanks Kat for a really fun (and frustrating through no fault of your own!) game! I'm looking forward to all-stars.
