MF:  Congratulations on being the person supposed to go the 1^st week & making it to the end.

MEMPHIS:  Thank you, thank you.  I appreciate it. 

MF:  How shocked are you at the 7-0 vote?

MEMPHIS:  I wasn't shocked that Dan won.  I had a feeling he would pull it off & I actually told him that a few days earlier but the 7-0 was definitely a shock.  I obviously thought I would have more love in the Jury House & I didn't get any.

MF:  Did Jerry ever explain what the "kindness" was that Dan gave him that made him vote for him over you?

MEMPHIS:  You know what?  I didn't say a word to Jerry after that & you probably won't see me ever talk to that old man again.

MF:  Do you blame Keeshond for holding a grudge against you?

MEMPHIS:  I don't blame Keeshond for anything, for holding a grudge.  It is a game.  A lot of people walk into that house w/ a lot of emotion & a lot of emotion in the game & they played w/ it & you can see how obviously I lived it.  It was, I don't know.  She was one of those girls that played w/ her heart & w/ a lot of emotion & she wasn't willing to take the fact of her getting voted out.

MF:  Why did you keep Jerry over her?

MEMPHIS:  It's simply I kept Jerry over her cuz I had a deal w/ him.  Keeping Jerry & then Dan, it sealed me going to the Final 2.

MF:  Are you upset w/ Dan for not telling you about taking Michelle on the trip?

MEMPHIS:  [Laughs]  No I wasn't upset w/ Dan.  When I found out the little things that Dan did in the game just made me respect him more.  At first glance I was like he is playing the game but you know he's not that into it.  When I found out all these little things that he's done through the season it made me respect him even more.  He is actually a good game player. 

MF:  Do you think Dan would have kept Keeshond over you to go to Final 2 or were you sure that you 2 would go to the end together?

MEMPHIS:  That would have been a tough situation for him to be put in.  I want to say that I hope that he would pick me but that's a decision he hopefully didn't have to make & I made it so he didn't have to do that.  He didn't have a choice.

MF:  Why did you let Dan totally throw you under the bus to get Keeshond's vote before she left & secured her vote?

MEMPHIS:   I was kind of hoping that Keeshond would kind of realize being the smart person that she is that it wasn't just my decision & she has to realize me & Dan going into the Final 2 against Jerry she has to realize that there was something else behind it.  I mean, she did.  She's a smart girl.  I just don't think she put 2 & 2 together.  I was hoping she would & would realize obviously me & Dan going against Keeshond was a lot harder for us than going against Jerry.

MF:  How do you feel finding out Dan WAS America's Player even if it was just for 1 week?

MEMPHIS:  I was laughing pretty hard.  Everybody was convinced that he was AP the whole time & everybody was trying to convince me & I was telling everybody the whole season I don't care if he's AP.  I have an alliance w/ him so if you know what?  If America wants him good.  That means I'm gonna be safe. 

MF:  [Laughs]  When you guys talked to the jury which juror's questions or comments surprised you the most?

MEMPHIS:  I think Renny's surprised me the most.  It was definitely a loaded question.  In this game you don't do a lot for other people.  You're looking out for yourself.  & when she asked me that, she knew the answer no matter what I said to her, it's pretty much nothing. 

MF:  Yeah, I don't understand why that would matter to anyone on what you did for them cuz they're not there so...

MEMPHIS:  I'm not there to play the game for Renny.

MF:  After you talked to the jury, whose votes did you think you had? 

MEMPHIS:  [Laughs]  After we had the jury thing I didn't think I had anybody's vote.  I felt pretty bad & felt like I had been through a firing squad.  It was pretty rough.  & that was kind of a turning point in my mind.  I was like if I win this it is going to be luck of the draw cuz after that I felt the majority of the people kind of connected w/ Dan rather than I.

MF:  OK.  The whole thing w/ getting Jerry's money.  Would you have taken that money & kept it?

MEMPHIS:  No.  I would have never taken that man's money.  That wasn't the intentions & it got blown out of proportion.  I was just trying to get good faith.  I was trying to trust the guy.  The fact is, Jerry has lied through the whole game.  I didn't trust that he would take me to the Final 2.  So I wanted some kind of collateral to make me feel better about my decision of voting out one of my friends & keeping him.  He took it the wrong way.  Whatever.  I think he made a good deal w/ the 4 grand & was so surprised that April gave it to him & I think he deserved it.

MF:  So how do you feel, I believe it was Keesond in the Jury House that said you were going to split the money w/ her & Renny & Dan so I don't know if that is what helped turn Jerry's vote against you.

MEMPHIS:  That probably did help a lot & it's kind of funny cuz I am pretty sure if they watch the tapes it was Renny's idea & it was 4 weeks before that.  That was a totally different time we were talking about it & it was Renny's idea.  I actually never asked him cuz I kind of felt bad.  So I never asked him about the money.  Whatever.

MF:  People have talked about Jerry being a floater.  Wasn't everybody including yourself kind of like a floater?  You were on your own until you hooked up w/ Dan & then you still had something kind of w/ Michelle & something w/ Keesond.

MEMPHIS:  Yeah, I definitely relied on me & Dan, on The Renegades for something that we started early but it would hopefully pay off in the long run but it wasn't something, that was it.  I wasn't going to let me game just play w/ one person.  I think looking back at the game you kind of have to spread yourself a little thin & see where you're at w/ a lot of other people to make it in this game.

MF:  You didn't even like you tried al that hard at some of the competitions.  Which ones did you throw?

MEMPHIS:  I can honestly sit her & tell you I only threw, well besides the onion one in which I won an onion necklace, I only threw 2 competitions & 1 was the Eliminator one & the other one was the 1^st part of the HoH w/ the airplanes.  Those were the only 2 that I threw.  I was just bad at all the other ones. 

MF:  What made you decide, you had the alliance early on w/ Michelle & then you left Michelle & went w/ the other side.  What made you decide to just let Michelle go?

MEMPHIS:  I let Michelle go cuz I knew she was gonna self-destruct.  Once you really get to know someone after 4 weeks of spending all your time w/ them you really get to know how somebody's personality is & I could tell she was gonna self-destruct.  She played w/ her emotions way too much.  The fact that she won a Hawaiian trip & actually thought she was gonna keep it winning 5^th place was one thing I was like, OK.  This girl doesn't know what's she's doing. 

MF:  Would you have picked to go to Final 2 with Dan? 

MEMPHIS:  Yeah, definitely.  I would have picked Dan.

MF:  & why?  Cuz you thought you could beat him or cuz of your loyalty?

MEMPHIS:  My loyalty lied w/ Dan for sure but I think I actually had a better shot [laughs] Believe it or not I actually thought I had a better shot against Dan than I would Jerry.  Go figure when it is 7-0.

MF:  Actually I thought so too.  Were you surprised then that the Jury House actually seemed to vote gamewise & didn't seem to be all cut up in the emotional stuff?

MEMPHIS:  I hope they did.  If they voted gamewise I'm glad they did.  That's one thing that I wanted them to vote for.  I wanted them to respect my game & the way I played the game & how I played it more straightforward.  I didn't have to lie to get where I was & that was kind of what I was going off of & hoped they realized that & they obviously didn't.  If they didn't that's their decision, I hope they did vote for game.  I hope they voted for who they thought played the best game. 

MF:  Is there anything you wish you had done differently?

MEMPHIS:  Looking back, no.  There's nothing I would have done differently.  No way. 

MF:  Is there anything you did in the game that you regret?

MEMPHIS:  No.  Nothing at all.

MF:  Besides Dan, who else do you want to stay in contact w/?

MEMPHIS:  [Laughs]  I think I would probably stay in contact w/ Steven, Brian & Angie.  That's probably about it & Dan.

MF:  I think you are the perfect person to ask this.  How hard was it to live w/ a bunch of jealous, catty girls?

MEMPHIS:  Oh man.  You know I have a lot of sisters.  My sisters don't compare to these girls.  They are out of hand, emotional all the time.  You know what?  My parents after talking to them & stuff & after they watched the season, like it's crazy to hear the way these girls talk about one another, another girl.  It's kind of crazy.  I never knew that people could be so, say the things people would say. 

MF:  Is Renegade Wear going to be a real thing?

MEMPHIS:  Oh Renegade Wear, look out for it.  It's coming.

MF:  Are you guys going to Vegas?

MEMPHIS:  We are going to Vegas.

MF:  With the girlfriends in the new car?

MEMPHIS:  The girlfriends will be there.

MF:  Well Memphis those are all the questions I have for you.  I want to congratulate you again & have fun in Vegas.

MEMPHIS:  Thank you.
