Not
surprisingly Justin “Rated-R” Rego was the first guy kicked out of the Bachelor Pad last week. Hey may not be
as much of a player as he thought he was. First of all, he didn’t manage to
pull the wool over Ali Fedotowsky’s eyes by having a girl on the side on The Bachelorette. And this time around
he couldn’t manage to overthrow the already super powerful clique led by Vienna
Girardi and her boyfriend Kasey Kahl. In a recent conference call
interview Rego talked about strategy and his fatal mistake on the show.
Justin said he went into the
competition knowing how much strategizing there would be. He acknowledged, “I
did know that you have to have some game… coming on here. That was the part
that I was looking forward to the most, was actually getting involved, getting
mixed up and forming alliances [to] see how I can possibly take control of that
house.”
Unfortunately for Rated-R, he put
his control in the hands of Alli
Travis, who turned on him. Asked if he could do anything differently Justin
admitted, “I wouldn’t
have opened my big mouth to Alli… Definitely it will be just that one move. I
remember actually having that conversation with that original group and I knew
that the powers to be in that house were, Michelle [Money], [Graham Bunn],
Kasey, Vienna and Holly [Durst] and Michael [Stagliano]. And I knew I had to
break them up but, I was actually trying to protect Alli, because they wanted
to get her out of there… It's definitely that one moment where I actually
spilled the beans to her and she went literally, five minutes later running to
Graham, telling him what I said. So definitely I regret that.”
But the pressure of the competition
meant that Justin had to act quickly. He recounted, “There's only three hours,
and even in those three hours, there's so much wrong going on in that house.
You couldn’t see everything. And I did build a solid alliance, I had Gia [Allemand], Jake with me and everything and
then Alli was kind of a flip-flopper.”
Justin further recalled, “I remember
that night, so distinctively where I was talking to her and I'm telling her,
‘Hey, you know what, they're going to try and flop you.’ And we needed her vote
to make the majority to us and pick off the other guys, one-by-one. But in the
end, it was a bad decision trusting that girl.”
That misstep aside, Justin did get the
strategy of the game. He admitted, “Even Gia, when she got in there, she's like,
‘The power couple, power couples, power couples — we got to break them up.’ And
it's true. Those are the ones you have to worry about. Any couple going in
there, they’re going to save each other. And that's the powerful alliance
obviously because they are dating. So going to that show you got to separate
them.
Win or lose Justin did concede that
he’s much better suited to compete on Bachelor
Pad than The Bachelorette. “It
definitely was a better fit. I can tell you personally right now, that I enjoyed
that. Even though I was on Bachelor Pad
for one episode, I enjoyed it so much more than The Bachelorette. I'm not the type of super, soft, mushy-mush type
of guy that you need to be on a show like The
Bachelorette. But Bachelor Pad,
honestly, I think I was made for Bachelor
Pad. And if I was given a choice to do Bachelor
Pad every single year, I would come back over and over and over again.”
Check out Bachelor Pad when it airs on Mondays at 8 p.m. EST/7 p.m. Central
