There's No Place Like Home

Carol says she's perplexed by Jessica holding onto an eighth-grade grudge and admits that she made a ''half-assed'' plea to stay on the show because she really just wanted to go home.

CAROL: ''I don't even know why [Jessica] keeps talking about some five dollar thing. I think she just made that up. I can't even remember what our conflict was about.''

Karmically, perhaps 21-year-old Kansas business-school student Carol's fate was sealed back in eighth grade, when she allegedly failed to pay Jessica back that five dollars. Let that be a lesson to you, readers: crime doesn't pay! Actually, this time it might have, because judging by this interview with Carol, the season's first evictee, she was happy to have been booted, even if it was by a vote of 10 to 1.

ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY: So what was it like being in the house with your deadliest enemy?
CAROL: I wouldn't exactly call her my deadliest enemy, but it was definitely awkward and uncomfortable, and it was really hard to be myself, simply because she was there.

Before she told you, did you even know you were enemies?
I had not thought about it in forever, honestly. I thought our conflict from eighth grade was so petty and minuscule that it didn't even matter.

And to think this would all have been avoided if you'd just paid her back her five dollars.
I don't even know why she keeps talking about some five dollar thing. I think she just made that up. I can't even remember what our conflict was about. If she's really that upset about five dollars, then she's got other things to worry about.
