Last night (March 17) saw an incredibly close vote send Christine packing from the Big Brother Canada house. With six votes against her and Christine JUST escaping eviction with five, she's now on the other sides of the BBCAN Grand doors, and we got the opportunity to put some questions to her about her experience.

Now that you've had a little time to process your eviction, how do you feel about your whole Big Brother Canada experience?
I feel pretty good about it, I think I was on the right track, I was going the right way, I just got out too soon to put my plans in action.
What do you think your biggest mistake was that led to your eviction?
I don't think I made any mistakes. I think maybe the main mistake was just being too quiet. It works for everybody else in the house, I just happened to get caught in the nominations, so I had to fight more because I was on the block, and maybe I didn't start fighting on the block fast enough, once I was on the block, I think that's what my mistake was.
[I should have been campaigning] right away. I left it because I thought that - I mean I planted little seeds at the beginning of being on the block - then I thought, 'Well Cassandra's gonna go around and talk to everybody 24/7, so I'm gonna let her over-campaign and be ridiculous, and then I'm gonna come in and be the last thing they hear.' So, I planted the seeds and then I campaigned more towards the end and maybe I could have campaigned more towards the middle.
When the international houseguests came in, you had a bit of a scowl on your face which Tim called out. What do you think of their entry into the game?
I hated their entry to the game because there was just so many people in the house, we'd just got rid of one, then we were adding two. It was like one step forward, two steps back, so I was really annoyed.
So then, once I got to know them and meet them, I was like, 'OK actually, this is a good thing, I like them, I think they could really work for me in this house'. So then it was a complete turnaround.
What did you think of the brothers twist this year? Could they win the game?
The brother twist is still confusing to me, I don't know why it's there or what's happening there and I don't know if they have some special powers because of it or what's going on, so it could help them but it's put a big target on their back so far in the house. They're in trouble.
You also snapped at Loveita multiple times this week - why did you have such a problem with her?
I snapped at her? Erm... She just irritated me, that's it! Just everything she did, everything she did was annoying. I just thought she was playing the worst game ever, and that's about it. I had to snap at somebody! (laughs) She just, we just didn't see eye to eye, it just felt like she was super annoying. I didn't like anything about her.
Do you regret not using the Power of Veto in week two and pulling somebody off the block to try and make a big move and solidify an alliance?
No, not at all because the big move was getting them out, they were beginning to be a force. It was Jared and Kelsey, and Loveita and Sharry were the force in the house in that week. They were the two big wigs so as far as I was concerned, I was making a big move by getting rid of that alliance, and Loveita deflated after that, so that was a good move.
Who would you like to see evicted next and why?
Hmm. I think the brothers. I think they've got to go. They're just too unpredictable and, I don't know, I find their game a little bit annoying, too. Maybe personally and gamewise I could see them get out. Phil is just such a... He's really hard to deal with. He's just really super sensitive and he freaks out over everything you say to him. He doesn't really know how to take a joke. He's very defensive all the time, everything you say to him he's defensive. He's just kind of an odd character, actually.
Make an early prediction - who's going to make top three this season and why?
Honestly I think it's anybody's game at this point, but if I had to pick, I think it's gonna be Tim for sure, is gonna be up there. Possibly Mitch, anybody after that? It's anybody's game. Maybe Jared.
Would you go back into the house?
100%. I'd go back into the house any time.
What are some of your highlights from your time in the Big Brother Canada house?
Well it really was fun. I love doing new experiences, that was the best of it, and challenging myself. What I really liked was doing the games, I love all the challenges, the competitions. I didn't know if I could handle them and I actually handled them so much better than I thought and that was a really good, personal goal for me. And I realised I'm competitive which I never knew all my life! I love competing! When we were neck and neck, me and Loveita on that PoV, I loved that! Whether it was Mitch or not, just to be that close and to have that rush, that was exciting. That was so much fun. I loved the competitions the most.
Big Brother Canada continues Sunday, 7pm ET/PT on Global.
