This is your first time winning HOH, did you feel as if you needed it this week?
I felt so elated that I actually won something, but did I need it this week? No. I was in no way going to be nominated due to those pesky penalty noms.
When the both penalty nominations of moogie and Typhoon were revealed, what was your reaction?
Frustrated. So completely frustrated. I had actually won HOH and I had an agenda of my own. I was not happy that moogie and Typhoon had themselves nominated. Gah!
Did you ever think of nominating someone else or did you immediately want to leave the two on the chopping block?
I wanted to nominate Matterbug so bad, but I knew I had to keep the nominations at just two. I've flown under the radar so long that I knew by nominating a third person, a target would be on my back.
Do you feel as if you were given a handicap this week due to the penalty nominations?
Of course! Typically as HOH, you are given the chance to further your game by eliminating someone who's a threat to you. Moogie and Typhoon were not threats so I felt hindered because I had no choice in their nominations. My hands were tried behind my back this week, and as I said earlier, nominating a third person would just make me look bad.
Ideally, who would you like evicted from the Big Brother house out of moogie and Typhoon? Why?
Typhoon. I mean, moogie and I are secret partners. We both make it to the final two, we each get an extra 100k. So Typhoon needs to go.
How would you say you are playing this game? Emotionally, strategically, as it goes, etc...?
I've been playing it one day at a time. I've never had a strategy, unless you count trying to get moogie and myself to the end. I don't have any ties to the other house guests, so emotions aren't a factor.
Who would you not like to see get HOH next week?
Matterbug. That guy wins everything and I feel that if he wins, I'll probably be going home. Boo!
It seems like just yesterday that I gave you your first HOH interview, how does it feel to win HOH only two weeks after your first win?
Great. I needed to win HOH this week to save myself.
You seemed to have lied low during the course of the game and than at the end, you began winning competitions and even made some pretty bold statements, was this your strategy all along?
No, not my strategy. I tried hard to win every competition but I just wasn't getting them. Thankfully things turned around recently (thanks in part to Matterbug's departure).
You had nominated Wind and Bangel for eviction this week, was moogie ever a consideration?
Heavens no!
Do you feel that you've made enough friends in the Jury House to win the game if you were up against any of the remaining three left?
Not really. I may have one or two votes but I don't think that I'd win against Wind or Bangel, like I have already stated. I may have a chance with moogie, but who knows.
Going into the Power of Veto Competition, what did you feel? Were you anxious to win the POV yourself or did it not matter? Or neither?
I was hoping for either moogie, Wind, or myself to win POV. I wasn't that nervous as I thought that our odds were good.
Did you consider using the POV on one of your nominations to nominate moogie?
Nope.
If you had a choice, which member of the Jury House would you want back into the house?
Kidwaiy. We had kind of had an alliance so it'd be nice to feel safe again.

Congratulations Wind and moogie, I get to ask you a question; so I'm going to get straight to it.. don't take it personally.
moogie, do you think flying under the radar and riding the coattails of both Bangel and Matterbug, helped you to make it to the final two?
I honestly don't think I did that. My alliance with the two of them was beneficial to me, but I believe wholeheartedly that I pulled my own weight as well.
Typhoon asked,
Well, you're both sitting there in the Winners Circle. Congrats. I'd rather it be you than some others I could name, but we won't go into that. Here's my questions.
In detail, what was your reasoning behind evicting me? How personal was it?
I didn't evict you, regan did. But I'll be honest. If I was HoH that week, I would have evicted you too. Simply because you were the only person left in the house that I didn't have any kind of alliance with. Nothing personal at all.
Kidwaiy asked,
Congrats to moogie and Wind for making it to the final two. I'm just going to get right to the point and ask my question. What big moves have you guys made in this game from the start to the end? What I mean by that is what have you actually done in this game that was big?
I made two big moves, I think. They each happened when I was HoH. The first was when myself and the rest of my alliance agreed that Princess_Miyu needed to go, so I set into motion the plan of backdooring her.
The second should be obvious. When I nominated bangel and matterbug for eviction during the final five. Many will say that I didn't need to do it right then (as I could have waited) but I took the opportunity when it came.
Matterbug asked,
Well, congrats to both of you for making it to the end. While the means were different, it's obvious that you both played your own style of game to get to this point. That being said, I'd like to ask both of you-
What are the reasons the jury members SHOULDN'T vote for you to win.
Please don't mention your opponent at all in your answer (like, why they deserve to win), I just want to know specifically about you.
I wasn't the most loyal teammate to you and bangel, when I nominated you, and its the one thing that happened in the house that I wish I could have done differently (though I don't think I could). There were also a lot of people who I just didn't get to know in the house or didn't make a connection, I wasn't very social in the game and didn't post often, and perhaps that makes me less of nice guy that people would want to vote for.
Bangel asked,
Moogie, was it your intent to backstab myself and Matterbug from the beginning? Or was that just something you thought of mid game?
Honestly, I had no intention of doing it until the week I was HoH and did it. And even during that week, it was so hard for me to even get your names onto the ballot. I swear, it was not my intention from the start, and it was the hardest thing I had to do in this entire competition.
reganlikewhoa asked,
Both of you managed to go through this house mostly unnoticed. Holidays aside, why did you choose to keep quiet this season when you've had all the chances in the world to get to know the other houseguests?
I wasn't so much inactive as I was busy. I had a lot of other things keeping my attention away from the game, so I spoke in the thread when I could.

Congratulations Wind and moogie, I get to ask you a question; so I'm going to get straight to it.. don't take it personally.
Wind, do you think being gone on vacation for a section of the game, enabled you to slide unnoticed and thus not truly be nominated or targetted? As well as flying under the radar the majority of the game?
I think being gone was both a help and a hinder. As Ammer stated on the thread, I was not immune to nominations. So if someone had chosen me as a nominee while I was away I wouldn't have had any chance to compete in the PoV and could have been evicted without even a final interview
Plus, not being able to post meant that for two weeks I couldn't try to win HoH to nominate my "enemies", and I didn't even get to cast a vote for eviction. If I hadn't gone on holiday I would have been able to break that tie between moogie and Typhoon during week 8, meaning that my ally got eliminated.
About flying under the radar, I don't know what to say. That's just my way of playing, I usually keep myself to myself. I got nominated twice and managed to get off the block both times, I won a couple of HoHs and I played most of the game through PMs. I think more than being quiet, I've been quieter that some other players
I've got a proposal for regan: for Big Brother 4, let's stage a big loud argument between the two of us in week 1, so nobody can accuse us of being too quiet.
Typhoon asked,
Well, you're both sitting there in the Winners Circle. Congrats. I'd rather it be you than some others I could name, but we won't go into that. Here's my questions.
Wind: How important was our semi-alliance? I say "semi", because we never really accomplished anything, but still. Were you just sort of stringing me along, or did you not have any other allies?
Ideally, I would have brought you to the final two and would have been happy whatever the outcome. I thought it was a good alliance, since both of our secret partners had been eliminated fairly early in the game. I don't like being in large alliances, since towards the end people will start trying to evict their own allies and the end of the game is the moment where you need the most support
Kidwaiy asked,
Congrats to moogie and Wind for making it to the final two. I'm just going to get right to the point and ask my question. What big moves have you guys made in this game from the start to the end? What I mean by that is what have you actually done in this game that was big?
I'm not sure about this question... do you mean things like alliances, backstabbing and such?
In general, I think my biggest move was nominating you, and then managing to get you evicted when I was HoH, since you were my biggest worry for most of the game.
Matterbug asked,
Well, congrats to both of you for making it to the end. While the means were different, it's obvious that you both played your own style of game to get to this point. That being said, I'd like to ask both of you-
What are the reasons the jury members SHOULDN'T vote for you to win.
Please don't mention your opponent at all in your answer (like, why they deserve to win), I just want to know specifically about you.
Mostly the reasons have already be mentioned, so please forgive me if I only make a list without going into details.
I've been very quiet through all the game, without seeming very active, and I also went on holiday twice during the game. I have won only two HoHs and one PoV (despite being chosen as a partner several times). Lastly, I nominated/vote against some of the jury members, so they probably won't vote for me for personal reasons
...I forgot to mention, also my interviews are awfully repetitive and I never spellcheck them.
Bangel asked,
Wind, was it your strategy to remain quiet until the last few competitions? Or was that just how it worked out naturally?
It's just what happened. I didn't think I was being overly quiet until some people remarked on that, but even then I thought it would be a bit hypocrite to start being extra talkative or something just to show I was playing. Of course it helped (or rather, not helped at all, from my point of view ) that I didn't manage to win any HoHs or PoVs until the last half of the game. I've never felt the urge to backstab my alliance and I've never been backstabbed either, so I was never in the middle of any drama.
reganlikewhoa asked,
Both of you managed to go through this house mostly unnoticed. Holidays aside, why did you choose to keep quiet this season when you've had all the chances in the world to get to know the other houseguests?
Another question on my quietness, how original
Usually I keep myself to myself and I rarely contact unknown people if I don't have a very good reason to do so, both in real life and on forums. When I got into the house, I didn't really know many houseguests. As I stated in the other answers, I prefer smaller alliances so having a couple of contacts was good enough for me. I did regret not getting to know many of the houseguests, but if I'll ever be in Big Brother 4 I'd play it just the same way, because that's the way I am.
