Jessilane opened up about her fate after BBB 22 (Globo). The biology teacher, who was eliminated from the program on Sunday (17), confessed that she intends to change career paths in the near future.
“I don’t intend to go back to the classroom at first,” he said. “In these first months, I want to take advantage of other experiences that the program will bring me from now on. But I do want to continue in the area of education, talking about Libras.”
“I also want to talk about other empowerment issues, regardless of the area,” he said. “I want to give voice to other things. I’m going to take advantage of this moment to discover myself in other places I don’t know. So, I’ll embrace everything that has an opportunity for me.”
She does not rule out, however, returning to teaching in the future. “I love teaching!” she said. “That’s what built my trajectory, my way of being. There’s no way I can say that I’m not going to teach anymore because I like teaching. Many times, I used to say to my students: ‘I’m teaching you It’s not because of the money, no, it’s because I really like it’ (laughs).”
The now ex-BBB recalls that teachers are generally poorly paid. “Actually, this is not a very well paid profession, it’s for love, really,” she said. “I don’t have a feeling that explains what teaching is, I really like it! I’m going to travel for everything I can do, but always remembering that I’m a teacher, that I like to teach, that I want to teach, that I really want to be in education .”
Jessi, as she was called by her friends at the house, said that her elimination was due to issues outside her game. “It’s more about cheerleading, really,” she assessed. “Apparently Arthur is very strong and somehow I was a risk to him. Probably the crowd didn’t want him to have any kind of problem until the final and voted for me to leave.”
She also commented on how the fact that she was the longest participant in Xepa (the group that has rationed food and less perks) in the program’s history hindered her in the game. “Being at Xepa is not just about food,” she said. “It’s mainly the fact that I’m not winning any competition, not being chosen by anyone to go to the VIP and all the context that brings his regular diet, wanting to do things and not being able to. It messed with my psychology a lot.”
“It certainly got in the way of the game,” he confessed. “It made me feel weak in the face of the things that happened. It was also very intense because it was such a long period at Xepa: it was seven weeks in a row, I already had no hope thinking I would be eliminated without ever going to the VIP, because I went to the wall in the seventh week. But I understand that’s what the game is for.”
The teacher also commented on her strategy of not voting with her colleagues during the program. “It all started when I needed to vote for Laís to save Natalia and, the following week, again, to protect myself”, she recalled. “But it didn’t make sense for me to vote for Laís because, even though we didn’t have a very close relationship, I had a very good feeling about her.”
“So, in my mind, if I voted for her, I would go against something I believed in, which was: if I liked the person, if I wanted the best for them, why would I vote for them?” he asked. “Would it make me a better person? Was it worth it? Would my family be happy out here?”
“I’ve often wondered about that,” he said. “And that’s when my discussion started with the boys’ group. They defined who we had to vote for and, if we didn’t vote, we weren’t playing. It was only players who were voting together, in their minds. For me , I wouldn’t be being consistent with what I felt, so I decided not to.”
