Porsche Briggs from Big Brother 13

 

by Gina Scarpa

 

Some of the houseguests on Big Brother may have argued that Porsche didn't start playing the game until halfway through this season but with a Golden Key in her hand for the first 30 days, she was able to sit back and relax while others took each other out. When it came time to step up, she teamed with Daniele and Kalia and was vital to getting veteran players Brendon, Jeff, and Jordan out of the house. Last week, she lost to Rachel but still leaves the house with $50,000. We caught up with Porsche in an exclusive interview to find out more about her Big Brother experience.

 

Q. Gina, RealityWanted: What made you want to try out for and play Big Brother?
A. Porsche: I was definitely a fan, especially of Daniele's. Big Brother is a once in a lifetime experience. It's a really unique concept, to be away from technology and all the hustle and bustle of today's society. It's kind of thrilling and a new kind of excitement when you get everything taken away. I enjoyed watching previous seasons. I figured if I was going to be on any reality show, it would be Big Brother.

 

Q. Gina, RealityWanted: How did you deal with not having any technology at all? Was it a tough adjustment?
A. Porsche: It was really difficult! I have an iPhone and a Blackberry. After I remembered my passwords, I went to town on it. I'm huge on music - that was probably the most difficult part of it.

 

Q. Gina, RealityWanted: If you could go back and choose another partner instead of Keith from the beginning, who would you have teamed up with?
A. Porsche: At this point, I definitely would not want to have changed Keith. I did not expect him to blow up and make it such an easy decision for everyone. It worked out to my advantage. In the beginning, Kalia and I thought we'd partner up and Keith would be my secret partner but then, he went off.

 

Q. Gina, RealityWanted: Adam said on the finale that you were a bigger floater than he was, because you went from Rachel to Daniele, back to Rachel. You didn't get to respond to him but is there anything you want to say about it now?
A. Porsche: Oh I thought about responding to it! I knew Adam was going to say whatever he had to say to get Rachel to take him to the final two. He's a good friend of mine and we were in an alliance since week 2. I won 4 competitions, and came in 2nd place in 4 competitions. I was not a big floater. I was 100% loyal to whatever alliance I was in at that time. My number one alliance was with myself.

 

Q. Gina, RealityWanted: Do you think having a final two deal with Rachel was smart and would you have fared better if you ended up having the choice to sit next to Adam?
A. Porsche: Jeff and Jordan were really close to Adam. I knew I wouldn't have their vote. They weren't fans of me, maybe because I got them both out of the game. With my deal, Rachel and I helped each other out back and forth towards the end. I would've gotten rid of Adam and kept my deal with Rachel. Even thinking about it in the voting sense, if I had won and voted Rachel out, I would've lost the Brendon/Rachel vote and didn't have the Jeff/Jordan vote anyway.

 

Q. Gina, RealityWanted: Speaking of Jeff and Jordan, what do you think their hostility towards you was about?
A. Porsche: Obviously, I played a good part in getting both of them out of the game. I straight up knocked Jordan out and I beat Jeff in a footrace in the Veto. I had a golden key for 30 days. If Jeff says he didn't see me playing, he was one of the votes who gave me that key. I got to relax for a bit and figure out what team I wanted to play with.

 

Q. Gina, RealityWanted: Even though you didn't win, you still walk away with $50,000. Have you thought about what you want to do with the money? A lot of people say they want to travel.
A. Porsche: I definitely would love to see things and I know my family would love to travel. I want to save up the money. I'm young, and my family was the main supporters of me being able to do this. I want to be able to help t hem.


Q. Gina, RealityWanted: Was the experience of playing Big Brother what you expected, good and bad?
A. Porsche: Actually, I think it was better than I thought it was going to be. I'm not that emotional in real life. I'm even keeled and I think that showed in the game. Everyone else cried and screamed and I was never part of that drama. That's not the kind of person I have to be, whether I'm playing the game or in real life.


Q. Gina, RealityWanted: What do you want to do now, post Big Brother?
A. Porsche: I definitely wanna take a little time to relax. I do love the club scene but it wears you down after a while. Three months of not having to wear six-inch heels is really comforting. I got to host a lot on the show and maybe I'll do something along those lines. I like being in front of the cameras, obviously.
