"One of Big Brother 13&amp;#039;s youngest players, 25-year-old Dominic Briones wasted no time in sinking his teeth into the game. While part of the newbie alliance by default, he soon began looking to make deals with the veterans and formed a close relationship with returning player Daniele Donato, with the two scheming to blindside Jeff Schroeder and eliminate one of their biggest threats. Though initially placed on the chopping block this week as a possible decoy by head of household Rachel Reilly, Dominic&amp;#039;s chances took a turn for the worse when the veterans discovered Daniele&amp;#039;s plans to break up her own alliance. With only Daniele voting to save him during the elimination ceremony, he was sent home during Thursday night&amp;#039;s live show.  Here&amp;#039;s what Dominic told Digital Spy about his Big Brother experience.  You shared a flirty relationship with Daniele - if you&amp;#039;d stayed longer, would you ever have taken that further or was it more of a friendship than anything else? &amp;quot;No, I would have not taken it further in the house because in there you can&amp;#039;t tell how someone really is. Although Daniele seemed like a great person in the house, you never can tell how people really are while you are in there.&amp;quot; Do you regret not exposing Daniele&amp;#039;s true intentions to Jeff earlier and do you think doing so would have increased the chances that you&amp;#039;d still be there? &amp;quot;No, I don&amp;#039;t regret it at all. If the plan went through I would have been in an alliance with the three strongest people in the house and would have finally had a sense of power. And going against that plan would have turned those same three strong competitors against me early in the game and I would have been target number one.&amp;quot; If you could play the game again, would you do anything differently? &amp;quot;Play with the veterans sooner and not stick with the newbies during the first two weeks of the game. I would have aligned with the vets and started cutting newbies from the beginning.&amp;quot; You accused your fellow newbies of being &amp;quot;spineless jellyfish&amp;quot; as they&amp;#039;ve yet to make bold moves. Do you wish that you would have kept a lower profile for the first few weeks in the hope of seeming like less of a threat? &amp;quot;Yes, if it was possible to keep a lower profile with the group of newbies that were there I definitely would have done so. But coming into the game just being a young, athletic male partnered with another male made me a target from day one.&amp;quot; You were going to go along with the plan to backdoor Jeff, but did you really see him as your biggest competitor in the game? If not him, who posed the biggest threat? &amp;quot;No, I saw Brendon and Rachel as the biggest competitors in the game. But you never want to take out the number one targets because that makes you the biggest target. So taking out Jeff would have split up the veteran alliance and given me a chance to actually gain some numbers and some power.&amp;quot; If your plan to work with Daniele would have held up, is she the person you&amp;#039;d have taken to the final two? If not, who? &amp;quot;Yes, she would have been the person I would have taken to final two. Because if that plan held up, there would have been a lot of pissed off people who wouldn&amp;#039;t have liked her and having someone like that standing next to you in the final two is a way to get votes.&amp;quot; At what point did you give up the fight and know for sure that you would be the one going home? &amp;quot;Never! I was actually campaigning all of the newbies on Thursday morning to get me the votes to stay in because I wanted to finally have the newbies versus the vets with Dani on our side.&amp;quot; What was the best part of the Big Brother experience for you? &amp;quot;Meeting cool people that I would have never had the chance to meet. Playing in some amazing competitions that you would never do outside of the house and getting to see how people really act under pressure and under a large amount of stress.&amp;quot; What do you plan on doing now that you&amp;#039;ve left the competition? &amp;quot;Chill with as many fans as I can! Hang out, enjoy life for a bit and whatever comes my way, just roll with it.&amp;quot; Big Brother airs Wednesdays, Thursdays and Sundays on CBS "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
