After host Arisa Cox advised the houseguests that their survival was in danger, issues went loopy. And whereas Elijah wasn’t an preliminary nominee, when Kayla pulled herself off the block, he grew to become her alternative. Elijah was despatched house in a unanimous vote, so we caught up with him to speak all about his BBCAN12 expertise, making Jury, and extra.
On making Jury and qualities of a BBCAN winner
Daniel Falconer: You’re out of the Large Brother home, however you’re the first member of the Jury! How does that really feel, figuring out you continue to have a job to play within the sport?
Elijah Kazlauskas: Truthfully, I cried somewhat bit after I heard I’d made Jury. I used to be so glad, it was superb. I’m so blessed to be in Jury and I’m gonna do my greatest to be an excellent Juror.

Elijah: I really feel like the sport is mainly like, competitors gameplay, strategic gameplay, social gameplay, and in addition how a lot management a participant had, how good their positioning was; these are gonna be the issues I’m factoring in, and the way effectively they did them.
Daniel: Is there anyone in the home proper now who’s already embodying what you’re on the lookout for in a winner?
Elijah: I’ve by no means seen a season earlier than the place all people at this level I can see a good quantity of benefit of their gameplay. I feel everybody’s doing fairly effectively in their very own method, and I’m gonna want extra info. I really feel like Spicy Vee is enjoying the most effective sport out of everybody to this point.
Trying again on Large Brother Canada Season 12
Daniel: You’ve been on the block a number of instances, so why do you assume this was the week the home determined to tug the set off and evict you?
Elijah: I feel it was much less getting me out and extra Spicy Vee wanting to save lots of Avery, and Avery had a good variety of allies. The individuals who have been away from that group have been okay with me going as a compromise, so to talk.
Daniel: Going again to the very begin of the season, how did you are feeling while you have been getting ready to compete in your first competitors, after which two All-Stars walked by way of the doorways?
Elijah: Truthfully, that was wild. At that time I began to assume that we’d be having extra folks. Anthony and Spicy Vee, it was actually stunning. Particularly Anthony, I knew he was a genius, superb participant; with Spicy Vee, I considered her extra as an awesome character, however she’s an distinctive participant too, and I feel it’s good that persons are gonna notice that.
Daniel: How do you personally see the ability construction in the home proper now?
Elijah: If I’m conscious of what’s occurring, it’s Spicy Vee, Kayla, Avery, and Bayleigh operating issues kind of. They’ve obtained the ability, they usually’re gonna maintain onto it if they’ll. Everyone else is attempting to shift issues a bit, however we’ll see. Spicy Vee is so well-insulated that even when Tola, Lexus, or Anthony wins HOH, I don’t assume they aim Spicy Vee. I feel they aim Kayla or Avery.
Elijah’s HOH and the Government Energy of Veto
Daniel: The Government Energy of Veto got here into impact throughout your HOH. How did you are feeling about how every thing went down there?
Elijah: On the one hand, it was like, ‘okay this may assist take a number of the warmth off of me,’ and I used to be actually glad Todd was saved, as a result of I actually didn’t need him to go house that week. Then again, I really feel like Vivek going was not good for my sport. And actually, I really feel prefer it wasn’t the optimum transfer for plenty of folks’s video games. In order that was a bit irritating, however what are you able to do?
Daniel: Hindsight is 20/20, however trying again at your sport, do you’ve gotten any main moments you’ll change?
Elijah: The very first thing I’d change is I ought to’ve fought exhausting for none of The Administrators going up as a pawn Week 2. I really feel like that actually despatched me on a downward trajectory; it was like dominos, you understand? Apart from that, throughout my HOH, I knew the time was too early for issues I needed to do. So, after I gained that I ought to’ve let Kayla, Avery, Spicy Vee run it. I ought to’ve been very like, ‘oh what ought to I do?’ however I pushed my very own agenda too [much]. Issues spiraled from there.
What if issues have been totally different?
Daniel: In the event you had stayed in the home this week and gained the subsequent HOH, who would you’ve gotten been focusing on and why?
Elijah: If I had stayed in the home, I’m guessing both Tola or Avery would’ve gone, so I in all probability would’ve focused whoever stayed. As a result of actually, Lexus, Anthony, and Tola, all of them voted in opposition to me … so it could’ve been simple to simply throw them up. What have been they gonna say?
Daniel: Lastly, at this level within the sport, who do you assume is positioned greatest to get to that ultimate three?
Elijah: Spicy Vee, I really feel like she’s performed the most effective sport to this point. However, the smaller the numbers get, the extra doable it’s gonna be for her to go. However she’s an awesome participant, so she may do it. I feel if Kayla survives the subsequent bit she’d be in a reasonably great spot to get to ultimate three. Spicy Vee, Kayla and Avery … perhaps Bayleigh as an alternative of Avery. These 4 I really feel are in the most effective spot.
