Glenn Garcia has the dubious honour of being the season’s first “Big Brother” houseguest to be evicted, and the 50-year-old former police detective from The Bronx sat down with ET Canada to discuss being season 18’s first evictee.

“I have made peace with it,” says Garcia — by far the oldest of the houseguests — of his speedy exit. “My best memories were entering the house, realizing you are in the house… it is very overwhelming but great. Meeting all the personalities and realizing I was almost 26 years older than the person closest to me. It was all great.”

If he had the power to select someone to take his place, who would it be? “The girl on my team, Tiffany, because I didn’t think she was a good team player,” says Garcia, who now has his own dog-grooming business. “At the time I thought she was a saboteur.”

With Nicole nominating Jose and Paulie (clearly identified by her as “a pawn”), who does Garcia suspect will be the next person to be kicked out of the house. “That is hard to say because I was rushed out of the yard so quick,” he admits. “I think Nicole was named HOH so I think it will be somebody new. Probably two new strong players. That is what I am guessing. I don’t know.”

Of course, Garcia isn’t just an evicted houseguest, he’s also a “Big Brother” fan, and says he’s not on board with all the new twists producers added this season.

“I don’t like the new twist of the team concept and I don’t like veterans coming back,” he says. “The challenges are always great. I don’t necessarily hate the team concept, I just don’t like the set team concept. If they chose different teams for every competition at least it is fair for everybody. You are not stuck with the same people all the time.”
