BB US runner-up blasts "bitter" ex-ally

Big Brother US runner-up Natalie Martinez has hit out at her former housemate Jessie Godderz, branding him "bitter".

Professional bodybuilder Jessie was Natalie's closest ally during his time in the competition, but went on to give his jury vote to eventual winner Jordan Lloyd on Tuesday night.

Natalie has now blamed dashed romance hopes for the 23-year-old's surprise move, claiming that he couldn't cope when he discovered that she had accepted a marriage proposal from her boyfriend, who entered the house temporarily last week.

Speaking to Zap2it, she commented: "Jessie was bitter. He found out that I got engaged, he was upset by the goodbye message I left him and the only way he could pay me back was to not vote for me.

"When he didn't vote for me, he showed how he really did like me because if he didn't feel rejected he would've voted in his alliance. He didn't even like Jordan but this was the only way he could get back at me for rejecting him. I was expecting it."

The Taekwondo champion added that she doesn't regret being dishonest in the house and wouldn't change her strategy if she played the game again.

"I truly feel I never would've gotten to the end if I didn't lie," she explained. "Even if those lies cost me votes in the end, I don't think I could've even gotten there without lying, so I would do it all over again."
