RealityWanted member Matt Hoffman may have done his share of deal making and sneaky moves in order to avoid being evicted early from the Big Brother house but this past week, there was nothing he could do to escape the block. After Brendon won POV, Britney decided to nominate Matt for eviction, feeling that she couldn't trust him. She clearly wasn't alone as the vote to send him packing was unanimous. We caught up with Matt this weekend in an exclusive interview to talk about his friendships, his lies, and whether or not he sees himself as a villain.

Q. Gina, RealityWanted: We're proud of our RealityWanted member getting so far in the game! How did you become a part of Big Brother this season?
A. Matt: I applied with a video. I have been a fan since season one and applying since season 2.

Q. Gina, RealityWanted: Was it tough to keep the lie going about your wife's illness? Was there anyone that you felt you had to really convince?
A. Matt: Brendon was the hardest to convince due to his background and his studies. He would question me the most. I think primarily, most of the lies went towards him because he was getting real detailed. Everyone else just sort of just took it and believed it.

Q. Gina, RealityWanted: Of the Brigade members, who did you trust the most?
A. Matt: I trusted Lane the most.

Q. Gina, RealityWanted: You had friends on both sides of the house. Did playing both sides of the house work to your advantage or disadvantage?
A. Matt: I think in hindsight, it may have worked to my disadvantage. In the moment it seemed like the right thing to do. If I had to do it over, I probably would have done the same thing just maybe not been as loyal to the non Brigade side.

Q. Gina, RealityWanted: What was your favorite moment this season?
A. Matt: My favorite moment was when Lane got his phone call from home. It felt like I was getting a phone call from home. It felt good, even though it wasn't my family, to hear outside voices and know that stuff was happening outside the house was much needed.

Q. Gina, RealityWanted: How do you feel about reuniting with Rachel? Any chance you two can be friends?
A. Matt: My mentality is and has always been this - no matter what horrible things people say and do in the house, when I leave, I can be friends with anybody. I just don't know if she has it in her to be friends with me.

Q. Gina, RealityWanted: Do you see yourself as a villain this season?
A. Matt: Yeah, I guess I would be sort of a villain. I did play a relatively emotionless game and I think that makes a good villainess quality. My heart did warm to Ragan at the end so I think I was a soft villain.
