That’s what you call a blindside. Ameerah JonesShe had no idea that she was being voted from the Big Brother 24Before her live eviction on July 28
31-year-old UX Content Designer thought she had enough votes to sit next to a bus driver.Terrence Higgins. But little did she know that an unlikely group, who calls themselves “The Leftovers,” consisting of Monte Taylor, Kyle Capener, Joseph Abdin, Taylor Hale, Brittany Hoopes, Michael BrunerHead of Household Matthew “Turner,”He devised a plan to send her home.
“This whole ‘Leftover’ alliance had me in shock,” Ameerah exclusively tells Us WeeklyThe morning following her eviction. “I knew there was something going on because I knew Turner wouldn’t make a move like that without having backup. But man, I could not put the pieces together and it kept me up all night trying to figure out who was working with Turner and who was trying to get me out.”
Ameerah says “there are some good actors in there” and that she feels most betrayed by Monte because “he was someone that I trusted in the Po’s Pack alliance and he had come to me for a final two the very first week.” She adds, “I always thought that we had each other’s back and I was consistently defending him when the girls wanted to bring him up on the block.”
Because she was so confident she was staying, we didn’t see Ameerah really campaign for votes, though she tells Use, “I felt like I did campaign, but apparently I didn’t campaign hard enough.”
Concerning Taylor’s treatment and bullying in the house, this was specifically by Daniel DurstonAmeerah and other women admit that they contributed to the problem. “She definitely did not deserve that,” she tells Use. “I have to admit that there was definitely some things that I said as well as other people in the house that probably shouldn’t have been said. It was not in the beginning that she was dog-piling. It was because she said so many snarky comments to people. A lot of things were like said under her breath and honestly, they weren’t that bad at all to deserve that.”
Ameerah admits that things got too far. “In the beginning, it was kind of just, like, we’re in this game right now and we are strategizing and we’re just trying to be careful with everybody. And if anybody does anything, we automatically just didn’t trust them. As it progressed, I started to hear some people saying more inappropriate words. There was a commotion at one point and I had no choice but to say things to people that I felt were inappropriate. It started off small, but it just kept snowballing and a lot of people were saying things that probably shouldn’t have been said.”
