Big Brother’s house is open once more! Every week, Parade.com’s Mike Bloom will be bringing you interviews with houseguests as they get evicted from the game.

They say it’s often the quiet ones you need to look out for, and Analyse Talavera had been proving that. This season’s youngest houseguest spent the game well-insulted in her various alliances, sliding through as bigger targets fell by the wayside. And while it looked like the trend would continue with her being nominated against Christie Murphy, a taco-fueled blowup and a last-minute switch sent the former chicken to roost in the jury house.

The girl nicknamed “Sis” found a secure position within the family quickly, joining the “Gr8ful” majority alliance. Inside of her group, she was showered with a romantic partner in Jack Matthews, keeping her position squeaky clean for some time. The jury phase, however, proved to be a different story. First, Jack got evicted, eliminating one of her closest allies. Then, she was sent on “America’s Field Trip” with Christie and Jackson Michie, and returned to the BB bus with a new chicken outfit and a temp job as short-order egg cook. Despite recent events, Sis felt comfortable with her spot, surrounded by allies in Christie, Tommy Bracco and Nick Maccarone.

Then along came Holly. Analyse had been drifting apart from Holly Allen and her showmance partner Jackson, starting when the former refused to give an endurance HoH to her. The conflict flared when she heard that Holly accused her of flirting with Jackson. Jackson decided to nominate her next to Christie as a backup plan in case the boutique owner crafted a Veto medallion. This made Sis confident that she would survive, touting her likability and harmlessness. But after Christie made Taco Tuesday a little spicier by calling out Nick’s game, Holly and Jackson decided to keep her to take a shot at the therapist. Analyse was then collateral damage, walking out to talk through it all with Julie (not “Juilyee”) Chen Moonves.

Now out of the house, Analyse talks with Parade.com about managing her temper, the strategy behind her campaigning, and what she believes ended her game.

You hesitated to talk about the game with your other houseguests. Why was that?

I was very hesitant about talking game with the other houseguests in the beginning because no one knows how to keep their mouth shut. Anything you say always ends up getting out and then you somehow become a target, and that was one of my worst fears. But it’s also something I regret a lot too. I should have talked game a lot earlier and with more people, not just inside my alliance.

You’ve admitted that you’re one to let your temper flare. How do you think this affected the way you behaved in the house?

I don’t believe my temper showed too much in the house. A lot of the time when I would get upset, I would have people calm me down and tell me to hold on to the information instead of confronting people. The times that I did blow up, I would like to think it made my fellow houseguests respect me more. I say this because I didn’t really talk too much. So when I would blow, it showed that I wasn’t letting people walk all over me.

You touted your likability and social game. What made you so confident in those skills?

I was really good friends with everyone in the house. I talked to everyone. A lot of the time, I would talk about just random things, and that’s what they liked sometimes. Everyone didn’t want to talk game all the time. I knew I had good connections and relationships with people, and that’s what really helped me.

You were furious at Jackson on Thursday when you found out you were going. Why did you feel that way towards him?

At the beginning of the week, he told me he trusted me, wanted to work with me, and didn’t want to see me go. I felt blindsided when he nominated me in the first place. Then I come to find out he was saying he was actually going to break the tie in Christie’s favor! I was not having it. It just goes to show what a liar he is and you really can’t trust anyone. You really can never feel safe.

In your campaigning, you promised safety to Holly, but not Jackson. Why was that?

I promised holly safety because I really wanted her to know that I wasn’t coming after her. She and I had a rough patch, and I’m not sure where her head was at with me. I wanted to make sure she knew that we were okay. I didn’t want to officially promise Jackson safety because if I had stayed, he was going to be my next target. I told him that we were good and that I wasn’t going after him and he could trust me. But I guess none of that was enough for him.

Speaking of Holly, you two got in an argument last week after she accused you of flirting with Jackson. What are your feelings on her now?

Holly and I have a great relationship. We talked things out. I apologized for everything, and she apologized as well. No hard feelings between us. She’s a great girl. Do I think Jackson is clouding her mind in this game? Yes, but I really do like her.

Nick is someone you were close with who became the center of attention this week. What are your thoughts on him and the game he’s playing?

I love Nick. I think he’s playing a great game. He basically had an army of people protecting him. I love that I always knew he was looking out for me and wanting to protect me. I just think he needs to be careful of what he’s saying. He preaches “say less,” and that’s what he needs to do. The reason why I’m out of the house is that he went around saying how he made a promise to me to keep me safe. That was nice and all, but it’s what ended my game. It sucks because I feel like my game ended because of someone else, not because of a move I made.

You also worked closely with Christie and Tommy throughout the game. What do they need to do next to avoid following you out the door?

Christie and Tommy need to go after Nick. As much as I would love for them to go after the showmance right now, everyone is against Nick. If they side with him, they’re going to become a target too.
