00:00How are you?
00:00I'm good. How are you doing?
00:02Are you doing this from Hawaii?
00:04Yes, I am.
00:05Oh my God. Good morning to you, literally.
00:07Good morning. It is 5.20am in the morning.
00:10I'm so happy to be here. Thanks for having me.
00:12Very impressive.
00:13Lyric, it was really fun to watch you.
00:16I thought you just had so much potential as a player.
00:18I know you didn't really fully see this coming last Thursday.
00:21How are you doing overall now that you're out of the house?
00:23Honestly, I'm doing great.
00:25I just feel so grateful.
00:26The amount of love that I've received is amazing.
00:29I am just happy that I had that opportunity
00:32and I'm so blessed that I met Rome
00:33because we've been talking literally every day on FaceTime.
00:36It's been a dream come true
00:37in terms of coming out of that house
00:40with something more than just the experience.
00:43It's coming out with a person I can trust forever
00:45and a person that I love.
00:46Well, and I'm going to take your lead with,
00:47by you bringing up Rome,
00:48do you guys have plans to see each other coming up?
00:51I mean, I know the finale is still like two-ish months away.
00:53What's the impact?
00:54I don't know.
00:54All I can say is that maybe expect something
00:57on our social media pages.
00:59Maybe a reunion might be happening
01:00within the next two weeks or so.
01:03Do you feel like,
01:04because again, you said that you guys have talked,
01:06do you feel like he was partly relieved
01:07that you were evicted because he gets to see you
01:09versus you making the jury and be gone?
01:11Oh, 100%.
01:12But he was my number one supporter
01:13from the minute that we walked into that game
01:15and he wanted me to go as far as possible.
01:17But I'm, of course, selfishly,
01:18he was like,
01:19no, get my girl home, period.
01:21I need to see her.
01:21Fair, smart man, smart man.
01:22Well, whatever you guys have planned,
01:23I'm looking forward to seeing it
01:25and I'm obviously wishing you best,
01:26the best of both of luck together.
01:28But let's talk about the dramatic eviction
01:29and the way that you went out
01:30because it was a huge flip.
01:32I know obviously you've gotten some information
01:33since you've been out.
01:34Who do you feel is most to blame
01:35for what transpired?
01:37Angela.
01:38I think Angela, Dee, and Devens.
01:41The reality TV icons thought
01:42that I would be coming for them
01:44and therefore they flipped the vote.
01:46But you know what?
01:47It's okay because I knew that once
01:49Haley put me up as a renom,
01:50there was a huge possibility of me going home
01:52because of the competitive aspect.
01:54I was sitting next to two people
01:56who hadn't won any competitions
01:57at that point in the game.
01:58And big brother, you know,
02:01competition person,
02:03someone who doesn't want a competition.
02:04The competition person is going home.
02:06So I already had a feeling.
02:08Of course I wanted the house to keep me,
02:09but it is what it is.
02:10I'm just grateful for the experience
02:12and that I got to meet Rome.
02:13Any specific conversations you wish you had
02:15during the week leading up to your evictions
02:16or something you wish you had said
02:18or something you hadn't said?
02:19No, and I think after you're evicted,
02:21you think about,
02:21oh my gosh, what have I done?
02:22What if I did this?
02:23What if I didn't do this?
02:24What if I did these different things?
02:26Honestly, I wouldn't have done anything differently
02:28because I felt that I did everything I needed to
02:31to pivot in that moment.
02:32Everyone in the house was like,
02:33you're good, you're good, don't worry.
02:35But of course in the big brother house,
02:36you can never be sure, expect the unexpected.
02:38So in the back of my mind,
02:39I always knew that there was a huge possibility
02:40I could be going home.
02:41Your girl Melody had some, you know,
02:43sharp words for you saying
02:44that she wanted to punch you in the face.
02:45I know that you've heard about this
02:47since you've been out.
02:47What is your reaction as we sit here now
02:49about her comment?
02:50Definitely shocked,
02:51but at the end of the day, it's a game.
02:53And so I think we'll be friends on the outside.
02:55I was shocked,
02:56but I knew that people were talking behind my back.
02:58Of course, that doesn't shock me.
03:00I just didn't know the extent.
03:02Is there anything else you found out
03:04that transpired in the house
03:04since you've been out
03:05that has also shocked you, surprised you?
03:08Honestly, I wasn't surprised
03:09that Drew was making fun of my voice
03:11or making fun of me in general.
03:12I didn't really have a lot of talks with Drew.
03:15And so that doesn't shock me.
03:19I honestly thought I could trust Dee in the game.
03:22And I guess she had a big,
03:24she played a big role in me being evicted.
03:27And so I obviously am a little shocked,
03:30but also not.
03:31You know, Lyric,
03:32I don't know if you're aware,
03:33but you went viral for a comment you made
03:35about peeing in the shower.
03:36First off,
03:37reaction to that being on TMZ,
03:40page six, et cetera.
03:41What's your reaction to that?
03:43That is crazy.
03:44I think everyone pees in the shower.
03:46At least I think so.
03:47I don't know.
03:48Lyric, you're crazy.
03:49I don't know what you were thinking,
03:51but yes, learn less than when you're in a house
03:53full of 16 house guests coming after you.
03:55Don't pee in the shower
03:56because it may just go viral
03:58and don't admit it even if you do.
03:59Do you defend peeing in said shower
04:02in the Big Brother house?
04:03100%
04:04I think I used soap and the water was running
04:06and so it really just canceled out.
04:08However,
04:09if I were to go in the Big Brother house again,
04:11mark my word,
04:11I would not be in the shower
04:12and tell everyone about it.
04:13Smart girl, smart girl.
04:14You know,
04:14you learn quickly that those cameras
04:16don't turn off, do they?
04:18Progress, baby.
04:19Just Lyric, guys,
04:20we kind of wrap up here.
04:21Overall,
04:21where do you see this season heading?
04:23Who do you think is the major contenders?
04:25Yes,
04:25I love everyone in that house,
04:26but Yash is in a beautiful position.
04:29He was the person who stepped up for me
04:30when Rome and Jason left
04:31and I am rooting for him.
04:33Rome and I are rooting for Yash
04:34We want him to win the whole thing.
04:36We love you, Yash.
04:36Team Yash or Team Auntie Lala all the way.
04:39Anyone you would rather not see
04:40take home the win?
04:41You know,
04:42I think not particularly.
04:44I think anyone who wins,
04:46well-deserved.
04:47It's a long marathon,
04:49but we're praying it's Yash.
04:51Yeah.
04:52And just one more thing.
04:53How did this overall experience
04:54compare to being on American Idol?
04:56Oh my gosh,
04:56so different.
04:57I am just so grateful
04:58because I found the love of my life
04:59on this show
05:02and in that it's the biggest difference
05:04is that I found love
05:05on this show,
05:06American Idol.
05:06I got to sing
05:07and do what I'm passionate about,
05:08but here I got to find my person
05:10and so I'm just grateful
05:10for Big Brother bringing me Rome.
05:13And what is the next show for you?
05:14Next show?
05:15I'm open to any show.
05:17Maybe Amazing Race.
05:19With Rome, of course.
05:20With Rome, of course.
05:21My partner in crime,
05:23he's been so supportive
05:24throughout this process
05:25and helping me ease
05:26back into regular life.
05:27But maybe an acting show,
05:29maybe singing.
05:30I love acting.
05:31It's my passion,
05:32so I'm open to anything
05:33that comes my way.
05:34Amazing.
05:35Well, Lyric, thank you so much.
05:35Like I said,
05:36it was really fun to watch you
05:37and I think those vets
05:38would have had an issue with you
05:39if you stuck around.
05:40You would have been a big threat
05:40to those icons, so.
05:42Oh, I thank you so much.
05:43That's a huge compliment.
05:44Thank you so much.
05:45Thanks, Lyric.
05:46Have a good one.
05:47You too.
05:47Bye.
05:48Bye.
