“So Ivette, how did you get involved with big brother?
I got involved with Big brother because I was looking through the computer trying to find a quick way to make money for my mom and I didn’t pay any attention to it because it was a big process on everything that I needed to do at that time and then two guys came up and asked if i wanted to be in a reality show and I said sure and it all lead to this. One thing led to the next and all of a sudden I’m on the show.
Did you follow big brother at all before being on the show yourself?
No I didn’t. I did not.
So what would you say your experience being on Big Brother 6 was that like? Was it a good experience?
It was a great experience honestly. You know, at first you are kinda like was it great or was it not, would I do it again and was it worth it. But it helped me grow so much as a person. It helped me grow so much as a person as far as making me stronger and making smarter decisions and everything. You realize the important things. You just have so much time to yourself. I know all of these things it’s probably some of the things you don’t want to hear but that’s how I took the game and on some part of it, there is reality to it and people will do whatever it takes to get to the top and that’s real life. It’s not just about the game.
Do you still keep i touch with a lot of the people?
I keep in touch with James and I keep in touch with Beau and I talked to Eric every now and then I haven’t spoke to him again and I spoke with Janelle briefly.”

“Its incredible how some people love to criticize and then go and do the same thing. is this game all-stars or is it about living in the past? don’t these people have bigger fish to fry? its honestly pathetic. they are so wrapped up in trashing people, getting personal…they are forgetting there is a game to play.
on certain topics:
#1- I HAVE NEVER BEEN ATTRACTED to rachel. lets get that clear.
2- i couldn’t stand rachel at the end because she was a sore loser. i’m not asking that people agree…that was my own personal reason. so if anyone is wondering…that is why.
3- about being a “bitter lesbian”…i won’t even try to defend that one. there is absolutely no need too. girls just hate on5 me because i’m feminine and they don’t expect that.
4- about me being a “fat bitch”…there you go america…your favorite mature houseguest is back.
5- on kaysars’ anger management issue…the throwing the water bottle wasn ‘t his only heated moment. america is very good at turning their head the other way.
6- am i really that important? i guess…my mother said i should worry when people stop talking about me. i’ve always said…”you either love me or you love to hate me.”
oh well…just some of my thoughts. keep me updated you guys. i will be watching the show but i can’t keep up with the live feeds.
talk to you soon…
me.”
“Howie, Ivette, and I are going to be on VH1’s Big in 05. It aires Sunday. I fly to LA in a little bit so we can start filming Friday morning.
Kaysar, Janey, and Sarah couldn’t make it…

If you watched season six of “Big Brother 6″ on CBS this summer (as it was on three times a week, it was hard to miss) you’re familiar with Latina house guest Ivette Corredero, the 25-year-old South Beach waitress and now “Big Brother 6″ runner-up. But would Ivette go the way of the professional reality circuit, parlaying her 1,895 hours of televised captivity into more than just 15 minutes of fame, or was she destined for reality obscurity, never to be heard from again?
The In Mentionable staff caught up with Ivette in an exclusive post-game interview last week and got the dirt on the show, her life as a lesbian, and what the future might bring for this spicy young Latina.
“I’m up for anything the future might bring,” exclaimed Ivette, in mid-snuggle with her girlfriend Maggie, affectionately referred to as “Tush.” “Right now it’s just amazing to be with Tush and catch up – it’s been hard being separated especially since ours is a relatively new relationship.” But why become a Big Brother house guest in the first place, other than the money, of course? “I went on the show because I wanted to represent the gay community in a good way,” explained Ivette. “I adore the gay community – black, white, Latino, lesbian, gay, bisexuals, transvestites, transsexuals all parts, because I have so much pride in who I am.”
Ivette, the first openly lesbian house guest and the first Cuban-American contestant on “Big Brother,” ruffled feathers both inside and outside the Big Brother house with her crazy passion for life and total commitment to being forthright in the most audible way possible. Known on “Big Brother 6″ for being an “open book,” throughout the show Ivette garnered airtime through well applied crying jags and by shooting her mouth off at pretty much any opportunity; however this raucous behavior was a far cry from her initial strategy to lay low in the beginning of the game and keep her sexual identity a secret. “I can be discreet because I’m more lipstick,” Ivette explained in a pre-game interview with CBS. “If I was butch, you could tell right off the bat, right?”
As for the hundreds of breakdowns in the house and those crazy mood swings? “I can’t even begin to tell you what it’s like to be in the house – nothing comes close,” recalled Ivette. “The Big Brother house breaks you down in ways you can’t imagine.” Speaking of unimaginable, what about her luke-warm relationship with gay partner Beau Beasley, the notoriously hung personal shopper from Florida? “Beau and I were acquaintances going into the house – former co-workers who hung out a few times,” explained Ivette. “We’re much closer after having been on Big Brother together.”
But Ivette proved unbendable when it came to her convictions in the house, practically giving away the $500,000 prize when she decided to keep her word and take her ally and friend Maggie to the season finale. The juried house guests predictably selected Maggie as the grand-prize winner, while Ivette went home with a measly $50K. Interestingly enough, when asked in her pre-game interview how far she was willing to go to win, Ivette reported, “Not far enough to lose a relationship, that’s for sure. You want money, but you have to have respect too – respect for your relationship. To just throw away a relationship for money is horrible, because what does that say about me?”"
“we are doing very well. thanks so much for your interest on an update from us. ivette has not gone back to work, but she has had a few things lined up that we will post as soon as we can. we have been getting involved with our gay community & she will be hosting several of the events that will be taking place this year at the annual white party!!” – Ivette and Maggie
“its me ivette. i’ve been really trying to adjust back to my normal life and have no regrets about the way i played the game. on my first attempt of posting, certain people were glad i did while others disected it to make me look “evil.” i’ve noticed that your damned if you do and damned if you don’t. i truly want to write to all and keep in touch but everything gets taken out of context. i don’t want to keep feeding info to the negative people. its truly irritating and i know its hard for you guys to understand how much the negative comments can cloud up a bright day. for me, it wasn’t just a game, i gave it everything i had. i promise though, i will get to you all and make it a point to stay in touch daily. i’ve been spending alot of time with tush and my family. plus there have been important birthdays this week. sorry to you all. i truly am greatful for all your support.”
“hi everyone…
let me begin by thanking you all for your wonderful support and dedication to the show. i’m so thrilled that i was able to entertain you guys for the summer. thank you as well for sharing your thoughts with my tushy-butt and making her summer easier. so now about me…we just got back on monday and i have so much catching up to do. the bills started pouring in, friends have been calling, family has wanted to see me and the tush has needed some long over due lovin. i’ve been meaning to write and get to know you guys but i’ve just needed some time away from anything having to do with big brother. this isn’t going to be a long post but i just wanted to touch base. i want to clear up any mis-understandings or mis-conceptions that people have been having about me. I WAS NOT THE ONLY PERSON who made negative comments about others in the house. kaysar, micheal, and janelle made their fair share of “racist”/offensive comments towards me. “that latin chick/girl”, “ghetto cuban”, “carpet muncher”, “rug chomper”, “bitch”, “float back to cuba on your raft”. should i go on? mind you i was born and raised in AMERICA. people are so funny, they only hear what they want to hear. no one ever comments on how the soveirgn 6 treated me. no one remembers that howie was the first person to “rag” on kaysar. people forget because they became friends. howie commented on his “magic carpet”, “camel rider”, if he could borrow his “book” to take care of business, how kaysar was going to build a “temple with the money.” again, should i go on? lets also remember on week 6 when kaysar came back and was then put up, i had a one-on-one conversation with kaysar telling him that i made several rude comments including one about strapping a bomb to yourself. i told him that i apologized and that i truly felt that he was an honest person just like myself. why is it that no-one cares to find clips of that day. how about the day he was evicted, i got his bag for him and gave him a hug. i am not going to continue to ask for forgiveness. i did my part in person, in the house, and to the person i owed it to. to kaysar. and those comments posted that were said by me, they weren’t ALL towards kaysar. i’m not going to continue to justify that matter. and to top it all off, i’m latin and gay, who am i to discriminate? about the other house guest…beau is my baby, jenn and april will see the friend that i was to them, maggie broke my heart, and eric and i talked things through and he will forever be my friend. to janelle, what can i say…the girl turned out to be better than 11 other house guest. i always said, “outside of this house she is probably a wonderful person, in here its strategy.” i have a close friend just like janelle who i adore so i understand her. i’ve never claimed perfection nor to be the sweetest thing alive. however, i do know that i have a good heart and that to me does not have a price. that’s what i was fighting for in the house. honesty and loyalty. what i find funny is people who have soooooooooo much to criticize about me and my comments, yet they post the worst possible things that any human being could say. from “ivette should have burned her face with the bbq” to “she should go to jail with her brother”, “her family should all go to jail”, “i want to beat ivette up”, “i hate ivette and she should burn in hell.” the list goes on. let it be known as well that “burn in hell” is an everyday term that i use. is it the best one? probably not, but its a bad habit that i’ll eventually have to break. i’m sorry if i ever offended anyone, those weren’t my intentions. if people are such fans of any of the houseguest’s they would realize that any controlled enviornment would bring out the worst in anyone. specially one that is aimed at getting rid of someone every week in order to get to the ultimate prize. all in all, my point was to send all my love to those who have supported me through out the summer and those who eventually began to understand me and appreciate my honesty, harsh and all (lol). i want to continue to hear from you guys and i promise to keep posting. a big kiss to all…
love and thanks,
ivette.”
“maggie and i have had no contact and now she can buy $500k worth of vespas…as for my babies, they missed tushy more the ONE WEEK that she was gone and forgot about me during my three month absence! as for being a celebrity, not really, but i am getting positive feedback. i think it’ll take 10 years (lol) to get my life back to normal!! but no really, i will be back to work next week @ cafeteria.”
“Ending the season in the runner-up’s seat was Ivette Corredero, the outspoken 25-year-old waitress from Miami. Ivette’s journey in the house was filled with dramatic highs and lows, from her devastation at the Eric’s eviction early in the game, to butting heads with alliance member April, to her long-standing animosity with rival Janelle. She reaped the benefits of being in the dominating alliance, avoiding eviction by the perception that she wasn’t as strong a player as some of her fellow “friends.” However, in the final two HOH challenges, she proved she could compete and win when it counted, which put her in the most powerful position in the game, able to choose who she wanted to take to the finals. And yet, if she had let an enemy win that HOH, there was a good chance she would be finishing the game with ten times the money. Did she make the right decision? In this interview, Ivette discusses her final choice, and other tense moments in the house.”

Tush’s mother (I think) posted:
“just spoke to Ivette and Maggie (Tush). They fly back from LA on Monday and are both looking forward to post and discuss many interesting details that many of you are not aware of. The last couple of days have been eye opening for Ivette.
By the way, I guess Rachel trained Howie like one her horses…while in sequester she threatened never to speak to Howie again if he voted for Ivette!”
