Becoming the second boot from the Big Brother Canada house, Sindy Nguyen will have the chance to re-enter if she battles her way to the top in an undisclosed First Five challenge later on in the season.
For now though she's to go back into sequester, but before that we managed to put a few questions to her about her time in the house, what she'll do differently if she goes back in and much more, in an exclusive interview.
You've become the first boot with the houseguests using the usual eviction rules - why do you think the house turned on you?
This is a very different situation where a lot of the houseguests are really, really nice. Too nice for their own good, that they're afraid to make a decision and go against the house, even though the house was generally just four people making that decision. So, when I tried to campaign, I can see their wheels turning, they know that they want me to stay because I would stay as a target next week, if I were to stay, but they're afraid that the other guys would go against them if that was the case. They had to do what's best for their game which was being safe instead of, you know, making a bold move, and I'm sure they're regretting it now because they're probably on the target.
Do you think winning the first Power of Veto competition put a target on your back?
The first PoV definitely put a target on my back. My strategy going in was to keep with the stereotype of what a beauty queen is, you know... I broke a nail, I got upset, people always saw me in a sparkly dress, so they already had their assumption of me, and me being Sindy with an 'S' was one thing. But I had to win PoV, I'm on the block, there was no doubts about it. If I wasn't on the block I would totally throw the competition, but this was my butt on the line, there's no way I was gonna risk anything, and the chance of going home the first week which is the last thing you wanna do.
You fought hard in the Head of House competition, do you think a different strategy such as throwing the competition would have helped your game?
My original plan going into the HoH competition was to throw it because I didn't want people to think that I was competitive. But, I did not wanna compete in another competition that requires me to possibly be a Have Not, because I'm not gonna touch that slop, and two, when I saw people falling off I figured, 'Okay, well I'm already top five, might as well just stay a little bit longer', and people just kept on falling, I didn't have an issue, and it was down to the two of us, why not try and push for as hard as I possibly can? I wasn't getting wet, I wasn't getting cold, I was doing fine. I just didn't realise that my foot was getting numb, that caused me to not realise that my foot was not on the ledge and I fell off, so, there was a huge chance of me winning that HoH competition, and going in I didn't think I would, but I surprised myself and I think I surprised a lot of people including the other houseguests, so it definitely put a target on my back, being close to winning that HoH.
If you get the chance to return to the house, how will you play the game the second time around?
This is a tough question, because obviously everything that I wanna do didn't happen when I got in the house. So me going back in the house, if I were to lose competitions or throw it, it's gonna be very, very obvious. I need to stay true to myself. I might be more cautious to who I speak to, to who I associate myself with, but I think I saw a lot of true colours before leaving, so that's gonna help me going back in, and plan an official alliance with a group of people that will help me and us.
And who would be in that alliance?
I would think you know possibly, I wanna work with Naeha, Bruno and Sarah, and definitely Jordan! (laughs) But you know, hopefully if I do get a chance to go back in the house the same people will still be in the house. If they are, great, if not I'll just have to rethink things. I like to think I'm good at thinking on the spot.
Who would you like to see walk out of the doors next as the third evictee?
The third evictee, I would appreciate the world if they could evict Graig. Associating myself with him from the start was a bad call on my part, and he is a very, very aggressive, aggressive person in the house, and it was very noticed, and then he revealed his career and I think he thought it was gonna help him, where it's not gonna help him... nobody or especially myself, I didn't care about his life, I just wanted him out of the house. He never gave me an official apology or a genuine apology, and that like, an apology goes a long way. Especially when he was the reason that caused the accusation with me, he started the rumour mill which caused Godfrey to flip out, so I feel like he's the root of all trouble and he needs to get out, now!
Make an early prediction - who's gonna make it to the final three?
Oo, final three, if it's not me, then I would like to think Jordan, Naeha and Bruno.
When all is said and done, which houseguests do you think you'll keep in touch with on the outside?
I would like to keep in touch with all of them on the outside, except for Graig, but I would, you know honestly, everyone is amazing in there. During your first week it's hard to think game so I know a lot of people really talked personally. So I think all the Toronto people - Sarah, Naeha, Risha, Bobby - I feel like I'm gonna stay in touch with them. But Bruno and I really connected, and Jordan and I really connected on a personal level, and I feel like I'm gonna stay in touch with them for the rest of my life.
