Interview with Jessica's Friend, Josh BB8Dish Exclusive

What follows below is our exclusive interview with Josh, a very close friend of Jessica's. So close, in fact, that some of our tipsters were sending us info involving him this past week. We chose to contact him directly instead of running with the rumor. ;)

In light of Carol's eviction tonight, it seemed apropos to run this one now, especially with Josh's comments about the broadcast show tonight at the end.

On another note, our next interview will be with someone very, very close to Daniele... Check back for that one tomorrow.

Now, on to Josh.

bb8dish: How would you assess Jessica's game play so far? Strengths? Weaknesses?
Josh : Her game play so far has been great. We are very proud of her. She takes a bit to really trust someone and we are just now getting to see who she really is. Her strengths have been that she has been able to interact with alot of the players without committing to one person or one group. Her only weakness is the fact that she was given such a blow at the beginning with Carol being there that it took her a minute to get the game on.

bb8dish: Are you pleased with the way she's interacting?
Josh: Very much, she has done great making friends and not letting anyone walk on her or deceive her.

bb8dish: How well do you rate her chances of remaining in the house till the end?
Josh: So much can change in this game it is so hard to say when things change week to week. However I feel that if she gets down to her vs one of the Mrs Robinson players that she will win, because she has played the game the right way.

bb8dish: Is there any one thing you wish she was doing differently?
Josh: The only thing that may help her chances would be to open up a bit to the Mrs Robinson group. Right now I don't think that its hurting her, but it may in the future.

bb8dish: Do you know of any tricks she has up her sleeve and is saving for later?
Josh: Jessica is not a deceitful person, she will play things the right way. For example, Carol was up for eviction and not one time did Jessica ever campaign for others to vote her out.

bb8dish: Thank you, Josh.
Josh: I also wanted to add a few of my own thoughts.

bb8dish: Please. Go right ahead.
Josh: I was very disappointed with the way the producers made things look tonight.

bb8dish: Us too.
Josh: I heard Jessica say on the feeds that the producers tried to get her to say mean things about Carol in her goodbye, in case Carol got evicted. Jessica said that there was no reason for that. But they didn't wanna show the nice side of Jessica, instead they chose to edit the clips in such a way that made Jessica look like the villain.

bb8dish: Yup. That's just what they do Josh. People who don't have the feeds have no idea what the real truth is.
Josh: Most of Jessica's comments that were shown tonight about Carol were made before she even got a chance to talk to her (notice her goodbye was not in the same clothes, and they found the meanest clips, which were near the beginning of the game, and put them together.) What the producers did not show America was how the entire time they were in the house, Carol was running around saying derogatory things about Jessica, things that undoubtedly hurt and embarrassed Jessica very much.

bb8dish: It's tv, Josh. They do what they do to create drama.
Josh: I'm not sure why the producers made it look like Carol was innocent, when the truth was all over the feeds.

bb8dish: They do that all the time. The tv show manipulates the audience. The feeds tell the truth. End of story.
Josh: Jessica should be given credit for realizing that she still couldn't trust Carol. Apparently the other houseguests didn't feel Carol was trustworthy either, as indicated by a 10-1 eviction vote.

bb8dish: And now she has. ;) Thanks to you! She's still in the house, and her rival's gone. What more could she want? Thanks so much for talking with us, Josh! :)
