      Gina Marie would choose him over aaryn or nick
      Did Andy mention Kaitlyn or Spencer
      Gina Marie would beat Spencer in the final two, Candice wouldn't vote for gm period

    I identify with Andy the most out of all the BBUS winners, and not just because he’s a gay guy. His social game was on point! He’s funny, smart and always have insightful reads on people. He saved his entire season by winning it.
    My heart broke for him when I heard about his mom. I wish I could give him a hug, I know how much I needed it in the months following my mom’s passing.

    I always enjoy listening to Andy's insights into the BB game. A winner who fully embraced the label of a floater and making it en vogue in the BB lexicon. He took the blueprint of being a floater and just about perfected it.

    Another amazing interview, Sharon! I have so much respect for Andy as both a person and as a game player. He’s so right that his win ages like a fine wine. I love how much of a fan he still is! And that story of him and Helen connecting pregame is very enlightening and adds more context to their in game dynamic. Lmao at asking about Helen Was Pushed, this is why you’re such a great interviewer Sharon!! Also that’s great that he’s out there living his best life and still keeps in touch with a solid group of people. I think he would be great on the Traitors! His cat is adorable. Also, my condolences to him on the loss of his mother ❤️ I lost mine a couple years ago, so unfortunately I can relate.

    Terrific interview. Andy is totally right about CBS. Why should it be the players or even the audience that has to police the people on the cast they handpicked, for bad behaviour. That said, everyone is so sensitised today to every little thing, we will never see Britney Haynes type Diary Rooms ever again. But hey, Andy deserves to be treated better. He played a great game

    It’s tough. Andy doesn’t get the recognition for his game, he was a lot more strategic. Jun said it best about the stuff she said getting her cancelled, it’s a different time. The issue is Andy was a huge bystander on his season and enabled other people. Agreed with Helen not getting invited back, though production favoured Judd. Though the show ‘ production needs to take accountability for casting and events happening.

    I just gotta say it again, since they ALWAYS gotta fuck with their own game, THE TWISTS ALWAYS SUCK. I'M ALSO GLAD JARED GOES, if he does. Prayers. Bye. 🙅🙅🙅

    Big brother 15 was the season of getting big targets out and somehow andy was able to maneuver that while aligning with almost all of the big targets (Candice, Helen, Aaryan, Amanda, Elissa, McCrea)
    Even when he won HOH he went after Jessie (someone who considered him as a number 1 in the game) when it was so easy to just get power hungry and go after the threats. Such amazing gameplay

    Like it or not, Andy deserved to win. IMO Andy was a coaster, not a floater. Andy had his ear in every conversation in the house. Andy used the sounds of the cameras to follow the action in the house. When all the cameras started to move in another room, that was a sign that some action was going on in the house and Andy coasted to that room. Andy should've been in All Stars 2. God knows they needed a real player in the house that season.

    Very interesting interview, both from a gameplay perspective and from a "society at large" point of view. I knew Cody was trash, but that he is THIS trash is somehow still a little surprising. Absolutely disgusting. And Andy is spot on, it is infuriating that some people get dogpiled on while people like Cody and Jeff get to be CBS darlings despite the horrible shit they said and - at least in Cody's case, apparently - continue to say.

And hasn’t she scammed old people since then. Them being his friends says a lot. Not saying cancel him but he shouldn’t try and defend people who’s said really awful shit and compare it to other people. And he does not seem humble about his gameplay, I still think he’s the most overrated winner. Never respect a snitch game. And Mccrae gave him the win by being a pussy.
