TV Guide Online: Was being in the house harder than you expected?
Marvin Latimer: Hell, yes! It was like dying and going to hell, and being there with the most crazy people on the planet. I never thought it would be that tough.

TVGO: Was there ever a moment when you wanted to call it quits?
Marvin: Every day. But you gotta regain your focus and remember you are playing for $500,000. Everybody wanted to quit.

TVGO: You were a pretty powerful player — you even won Head of Household twice. Do you think you were perceived as a threat?
Marvin: Hell, yes. That's why I'm talking to you now. When you do it two times and win America's choice [to play a role on The Young and the Restless], people see a threat.

TVGO: Do you think you could have done anything differently that would have helped you win?
Marvin: Yes — kill or maim the other five people in the house. Seriously, the numbers were against me without an alliance.

TVGO: Why did you mostly avoid forming alliances?
Marvin: I played the numbers game and tried to play the least powerful player in two different alliances: the Santa Monica Van Boys and the gay mafia. I figured each alliance would pick off the most powerful member from [the other] alliance and leave me standing in the final four.

TVGO: Would you use that strategy again if you had the chance?
Marvin: Yes, I would. My problem came in because I didn't kiss ass like Karen, Cowboy and Drew!

TVGO: Will it be awkward to be in the jury house with Adria after you exchanged such harsh words as she was leaving?
Marvin: It will be hard for her but not for me. I could give a damn if Adria comes or goes. I'm cool about it, but if she got some mouth, I've got twice as much.

TVGO: Speaking of Adria, what did you think of this season's "Project DNA" twists?
Marvin: It shocked me. No one saw it coming. No one thought that Adria had a twin.

TVGO: You always seemed like the life of the party. How did you keep your spirits up?
Marvin: That was tough. I had to talk to these people about 16 or 17 hours per day, so I just made fun of their crazy asses.

TVGO: Do you really not like anyone in the house, or was that just an act?
Marvin: Lori... she was hot. I really did have feelings for Diane, but she is a bitch. Jase is probably a good guy out of the house, and I'd like to hang with him and Scott again. The rest of them, if I [never] see them again, that still would be too soon.

TVGO: Can you describe how it felt to get out of the house to be on Y&R?
Marvin: It was the best day of my life. To get out felt like a dream. You are in shock, and to meet the soap stars who act on the show was the bomb!

TVGO: Do you think it could turn into a recurring role?
Marvin: It was talked about me coming back. If the fans want it, maybe.

TVGO: Of all your housemates, who has the most annoying habits?
Marvin: Karen talking about her husband. Cowboy talking about [his fiancée] April. Jase in the mirror. Diane popping zits.

TVGO: Do you think Drew and Diane's relationship can survive this game?
Marvin: No, because Drew is playing her for the game but she is toooo damn dumb to see it, and he is a pansy.

TVGO: Did you have any embarrassing moments you wish you could take back?
Marvin: No... well, the last time I won HOH... stripped down to my underwear and jumped in the pool on the live show. Not sure if my mom is happy about that.

TVGO: What luxury did you miss most from the outside world?
Marvin: Hardcore hip-hop music, black culture, strip clubs and strippers.

TVGO: Would you ever do anything like this again?
Marvin: Never, never, never. Well... maybe for $100,000 per week. Tell CBS to give me my own show!
