You’ve been off the show for a while, so were you surprised?
TUCKER DES LAURIERS:I had no idea.
I don’t know.

I don’t like to count my chickens before they hatch.
I was freaking out and trying to remain calm and just still be me under this intense scenario.
So yeah, I didn’t really know.

I had no idea.
And all the polls were saying different things, so it was intense.
What are you going to do with the $50,000?

Tucker Des Lauriers and Cedric Hodges on ‘Big Brother’ season 26.CBS
Those are the only two things I have in mind right now.
The rest will come as things come at me.
I very much go with the flow.
But yeah, I just got to take Rubina on a trip and formally apologize.
That’s the first thing on my mind.
I watched the live feeds nonstop.
I saw she had her moments of doubt, which everyone naturally would.
I would’ve been doing the same stuff in there.
Shout out to Cam, my dog in the crib having my back!
But I could just see on her face, she didn’t know.
And when I got to see her, I brought her flowers and it was just so unreal.
Did she deny you a kiss on the stage?
No, that’s how we are.
The banter back and forth.
I’m not going to be like, What?
We already did that.
We already gave America enough of that.
Let’s save something for us.
I’m right there with her.
It was the cutest thing ever.
And I just love her so much.
So I’m very excited.
Just watch us baby!
We survived theBig Brotherhouse.
I think everything else will be easy.
I’ve been bi-coastal, I’m hoping to have more work out here.
So let’s see if we can make it work out.
And I think we have everything in line to do that.
And I’m very excited to see where it goes.
Super ups to everybody who made it that far.
It is a very tough thing to do.
I did the same thing with Angela, and that happened to me.
So Im not like Makensy, you idiot!
I’m just like, Nooooo, Makensy!
I’ve been there.
You would’ve had it in the bag with Cam!
And that’s a beautiful thing.
So I respected everybody’s gameplay, and that’sBig Brother.That’s all I can say.
What was it like watching yourself back on TV when you got out of the house?
I’m sorry, Cedric!
I know we’ve talked about it and everyone still talks about it.
Random things like that.
But it’s been really fun.
So it’s been good and a big learning point and fun.
You’ve conqueredBig Brotheras America’s Favorite Houseguest.
What reality show do you want to do next?
What reality show thinks they can take me, baby?
I’m ready to run it up!
If we want to do an All Stars, how are we doing?
If we want to doThe Challenge.
I could doThe Amazing Race, a littleSurvivor.
I’m an open book.
Let’s do it!
