Nathan:"After seeing tapes,I'd have voted for Jun instead." Respects neither Finalist
(Article about Nathan in his local newspaper):
Stint on reality show leads to opportunities 2003-09-26 By Penny Soldan The Oklahoman Nathan Marlow of Edmond spent 37 days on "Big Brother 4," the CBS reality series which brought together 13 strangers for a summer of seclusion in a house full of television cameras. He didn't win the show's $500,000 grand prize as he had hoped, but he can't complain. Come Monday, Marlow will tape a guest appearance for the show "Yes, Dear" (the episode will air in late October). And he's been hearing buzz about a possible soap opera stint. "I'm enjoying my 15 minutes of fame, and I plan on using every minute of it," he said in a telephone interview from Los Angeles. "I haven't had a chance to talk to too many people, but I've already got a couple of gigs lined up. And I'm meeting with agents next week." Marlow, who graduated from the University of Central Oklahoma in May and has been working as a personal trainer for YMCAs in Edmond and Oklahoma City, has decided to pursue a career in the entertainment industry. But the first week in October is reserved for family and friends, as Marlow will reunite with his family Oct. 1 and celebrate his 24th birthday Oct. 2 in his hometown of Fort Gibson. As for friends in the "Big Brother" house, Marlow did make some. But he doesn't count the show's two finalists, Jun Song and Alison Irwin, among them. Jun walked away with the grand prize. Alison received $50,000 as runner-up. "It was devastating to see what those girls were all about," Marlow said. "For Ali to go into the diary room and deceive me like that hurt the most. I could see Jun doing it because she would tell you what she thought upfront. But I can't respect either of them." So why, then, during week four, did Marlow use the power of veto and save Alison from possible eviction? "A lot of people thought that I saved Ali for emotional reasons, but that wasn't it," he said. "My whole plan was to get Justin (Giovinco, Alison's ex-boyfriend) out of the house. But then she stabbed me in the back by having an alliance with Justin. I finally figured it out when she didn't put him up (for eviction)." Still, Marlow, who was the show's first head of household and the only person to use the power of veto to save someone else, voted for Alison to win. Jun received everyone else's vote. "I didn't want to vote for either of them, but 'Big Brother' said I had to," Marlow said. "After seeing the tapes, I would have changed my vote to the lesser of two evils and picked Jun." Marlow's personal pick to win? Erika Landin, the pilates instructor from Los Angeles. His favorite moment on the show? Playing "Truth or Dare" during week one. "Those were good times. We were getting to know one another, and nobody was strategizing." One of the pitfalls of spending the summer in a house with others? Keeping track of his possessions, which included a wardrobe of Oklahoma college apparel. "Every time I would look for a shirt to wear, I'd have to go to Ali, because she would steal all my clothes. And she was not a good representative for Oklahoma." |

Lol, I like the bit where Nathan says if he saw the tapes beforehand he would have voted Jun instead. I believe he would have too, as I stated on another post. It would have been a walkover for Jun then 7-0.
Still 6-1 is just as gratifying, as long as Alison lost and she did. Poor Nathan, he is still far too gullible in life though. Hopefully this would have taught him a lesson and he won't get manipulated so much in future.

Its still early days regarding how the others feel about their vote for Jun. I reckon quite a lot will wish they had voted Ali but if they could have abstained they would have.
