Amy Bingham won her way into the *Big Brother* game by successfully completing three missions as the Mastermind's secret Accomplice. But once she officially became a houseguest, everything started to unravel.
Amy went up on the block in her very first week and looked to be a goner before new ally Rachel Reilly whipped the votes to keep her around. But Amy's association with Rachel may have ultimately been her undoing, as other players looked to weaken the *Big Brother *legend by taking out her closest ally, leading to the 43-year-old insurance agent's unanimous 13-0 ouster on Thursday's live eviction episode.
How does Amy feel now about her alliance with Rachel? Why did she call out Jimmy in front of the entire house during her exit? What does she have to say about her job as the secret Accomplice? We caught up with season 27's second casualty to ask all that and more.

**: You wondered out loud at one point whether your friendship with Rachel was a blessing or a curse. What do you think now?**
**AMY BINGHAM: **Definitely a curse, but I love her. I wouldn't change anything, but definitely a curse. It ruined my game. I didn't even have a game. I didn't even get to play my own game because I was instantly *her* accomplice, not *the* Accomplice.
**On your way out the door you yelled, "Get Jimmy out! He's a snake and a liar!" Tell me what was behind that.**
He's just a liar. He lies all the time about everything all the time, and he thinks you aren't aware of it. He's a really bad liar and it's crazy. He manipulates everybody in the house. He is funny and charismatic and so much fun to be around, but he's also a big liar, and I can't stand liars.

**Do you think everyone in the house is pretty aware of it that at this point?**
They are now. Maybe they'll be aware. I don't know. I kept trying to tell certain people and I don't know if they saw it, or they didn't want to see it, but they're going see it eventually. It's just a matter of time if they pay attention. I noticed it on day two. I was like, "Oh my gosh why does he lie so much?" He lies all the time about everything.
**Rachel said in one of her Diary Room interviews that she really wanted you to stay because in addition to being in the Mom Squad alliance, she felt she could beat you at the final two.**
She probably could.
**She also said that you were great to keep around because you were the "the ultimate pawn. If you put Amy next to a strong player, the strong player is going to go home." What do you make of that assessment?**
Because I can't win comps. I am a terrible comp player. I think I played on, what, five comps? I didn't win anything. I'm not good at the games. I actually didn't even think I would do well in those and I didn't care, but I *need* to care because that was part of my game. I could have stayed longer if I could've won something.

**Well, what did you mean when you left the house and you said, "I suck at this game."**
**But what do you mean by that? What aspects of the game do you suck at?**
I think i just tell the truth. I'm honest to fault. I tell people what I think about them and I don't care. In real life, I can just cut them off. I never talk to them again. But this is not real life. This is a *Big Brother* house and you can't do that. You can't just tell 'em what you think of them and then go your separate ways. You have to live with them, and if you don't like them it doesn't matter — you're in a house living with this person. I'm honest to a fault. It is terrible, so bad. My kids are probably screaming at the TV, "Mom, don't say that!" I can't help it. I'm going to say it.

**If you could go back and do something different that might have kept you around longer in the house, what would it be?**
Not befriending Rachel was probably the best way to stay in the house, I would say, so I wouldn't become an instant target for no reason. I mean, there is a reason, but it wasn't *my* reason. I had nothing to do with her, but I did at the same time understand it's the game. It's gameplay and I knew I was going be a target by being her friend, but I couldn't help it. I'm a loyal friend.
**It seemed like she had a big part in saving you last week when she whipped the votes, so why did that work last week but not this week?**
Because I was up against Zae and he's a strong physical competitor, so definitely much easier to save me against him than Will.

**Let's talk about your time with the Mastermind. How would you describe your working relationship with this diabolical force?**
I'm glad I got to go to the house! I'm glad I didn't blow my game up in that sense and in that way.
**Usually, a player goes through the casting process and then is told they either made it onto the show as a contestant or didn't, so what was that conversation like for you with producers when you were told about having to earn your way into the game as the Accomplice?**
I was an alternate, so it was like I was maybe in, maybe not in. And so for me, when they told me "You got a chance to be in, you just have to be the Accomplice," I was like," I'll be the Accomplice! I'll be anything you want me to be!I don't care! I want to get in this house!"
**So how did you know where things were? Did they let you walk through the empty house to know where the things were that you had to do?**
They just showed me where those things were before I went in, and I was like "I cannot mess this up. I am not going home on day one. I am going get in this house!" And I did!

**How nervous were you about being discovered as the Accomplice and not allowed in the game?**
I really didn't think I would be found out. I was more afraid of someone catching me in the act of pushing the button or pulling out my little thingy and pushing it, and I was afraid of that more than anything. So you're already getting in the house and anxious and excited to meet everybody, and then I have to do these things on top of it. It's so many things to do and remember and I have this order and on time and all these things, so I'm just glad I did it and no one caught me. And poor Riley! Sorry, Riley! Sorry, Zae!

**Anything you are nervous about going back and watching on the live feeds?**
Yeah, when I went up to Vinny like a dummy and told him about Jimmy, his best friend in the house, and that he needed to get him out. Granted, other people were telling him to evict Jimmy, I wasn't the only one. But I was the one on the block and Jimmy was pulling a lot of the strings and they were besties.
But you know what's crazy is Vinny reminds me so much of my brother for some reason, so I felt this comfort with him, which is strange. I don't know why, because he's *not* my brother. But I felt comfortable with him, so I talked to him and that was the dumbest move I made because then I became a target for Jimmy and Jimmy just runs his mouth and lies all the time — lies, lies, lies.
But I did do that and it's stupid and I knew I shouldn't have done that, but then I did it. And Ashley was like, "I told you not to say anything!" I'm like, "I know, my besties tell me this all the time, they tell me not to say anything and then of course I do." Because I just don't care. I'm like, "Well, this is what I think so why can't I say it?"
I just want to be myself. You can't. Not in that house. You can't say what you think. It will blow up your game … in addition to being friends with Rachel.

**People targeted you because you were so close to Rachel and they wanted to weaken her by taking you out. Now that you're out, how do you feel about her chances moving forward?**
I don't think she's going to win. They might take her to the end because they don't think she's going win against them. I think her chances got better with me out. I feel like my chances would've gone up and been a lot better with her out. It's how it goes. I hope she stays to the end. I hope Ashley wins. I really do.
**Why Ashley?**
I love Ashley. She's the best and she's never won. Rachel's won before, so it'd be great for her being a two-time winner, but I want Ashley to win this game. That's who I'm rooting for.
**Do you wish Ashley or Rachel had thrown you a vote to stay?**
No, I don't really care. That doesn't bother me. I don't care. What's a vote or two? It doesn't matter, I'm not in the house. I don't want them to blow up their game or have any reason to for them have issues in the house because of me. It's just not worth it at this point. It doesn't matter.

**Who's playing the best game?**
Mickey or Morgan, I would say, is playing a really good game. They're in a really good spot and are really protected. Both of them are doing really good.
**Do you have any clues to the location of the Mastermind's new secret lair?**
**You didn't get invited over? Are you all going to hang out?**
No! Actually, I'll hang out with him. Just for old time's sake.

**Anyone from this group you just spent two weeks with that you would *not* want to hang out with?**
Jimmy! He lies! He's a liar! I don't like being around liars! He's a big-time liar too, but he's really fun and charismatic at the same time, so he's fun to be around. So that's the problem.
**He so dramatic! Like at the Veto ceremonies and with his wardrobe at the nomination ceremony.**
So dramatic! Oh my gosh! And it kind of bothered me. It really took away from Ashley's moment. She just won the Power of Veto. Let her have her time. This is her time, not yours. He had to take it and make it about him. Go figure. Not surprising.
