Q. Mark (RealityWanted.com): Was there anyone in the Big Brother 8 house that you tried to stay clear of besides Dustin?
A. Joe Barber, Big Brother 8: Dustin: Amber started to get on my nerves the last few days in house. She portrays herself as honest, but she does things behind peoples' backs. I am looking forward to seeing if she keeps her integrity or buckles.

Q. Mark (RealityWanted.com): Were you aware of the alliances?
A. Joe Barber, Big Brother 8: I knew there was the "Mrs. Robinson Alliance". There was the little mafia alliance that I tried to make. It is still really early in the game, alliances are made and broken. As time goes by stronger alliances will be made.

Q. Mark (RealityWanted.com): Who do you think will be the last two houseguests standing?
A. Joe Barber, Big Brother 8: It's hard to get a realistic idea this early in the game. I would love to see Jessica and Jameka or Jessica and Eric. If people don't get rid of Dick now he may be there also, and the same goes for Danielle.

Q. Mark (RealityWanted.com): What do you think your biggest mistake was that led to your eviction this early in the game?
A. Joe Barber, Big Brother 8: There is not one single situation I can point tp that I could have changed. Anyone put up against Evil Dick was going home. If I could have changed anything I would have not talked about Dustin in such a negative way and now I realize I should have kept it to myself.

Q. Mark (RealityWanted.com) Now that you are our of the house. what did you think about Eric being America's player, is he suited for this?
A. Joe Barber, Big Brother 8: I Love it! I think is brilliant and the best twist they have had in years. It's great to bring viewers in and it's like they are unofficial houseguests. Mark Will you vote now that you are out of the house? A. Joe - I will vote for Eric. He is friends with everyone and he is so wacky that if he got caught doing anything behind anyone's back he would say," Hey guys I'm Eric," and no one would really think poorly of him.

Q. Mark (RealityWanted.com): Talk to me about Jen, I don't watch the feeds and I know there is alot of editing going on, but is she as far out there as we think she is?
A. Joe Barber, Big Brother 8: That's not editing, Jen inhabits her own world, the Jen world. Anything that has happened in all human history has to do with Jen, She is self absorbed. I know she regrets putting me up against Dick.

Q. Mark (RealityWanted.com): What do think about Dick being HOH, what's going to go down?
A. Joe Barber, Big Brother 8: Well you know Evil Dick is Evil Dick. He is going to go one of two ways. He will put up Jen and Kail up on the block, which is obvious or turn it upside down and so something completely different.
