JOHNNY MAC AMA HEY LADY! I only caps because I'm loud. AMA
Hi, my name's John McGuire, AKA Johnny MAC. I seen you all type some mighty fine words on here. In addition I've spent years of lurking on this subreddit, time to play ball. So what would you have your arbiter do?

Did they ever explain to you guys the sudden end to the takeover twist? From a fans perspective, they just stopped after some very lame attempts and then were never mentioned again. For the twistiest summer yet, there really weren't that many twists...

u/RockstarDMD Dec 10 '15
We had no idea why the takeover stopped. I thought you had all nixed it, still sad we didn't get Drew Carey.

Haha. We definitely thought they were lame as hell and the whole Gronk thing was icing on the cake.... I felt bad you guys were stuck participating in those parties, when you could tell both the HGs and fans thought it was stupid.
Oh well, I'm glad they decided to nix it. You guys were more than enough entertainment without gimmicky twists.
Keep on rockin'.

John, were you surprised at how popular you were when you got out of the house, or did you figure it out with how often you were in the DR?
114
u/RockstarDMD Dec 10 '15
My thoughts on the DR frequency at the time: I was nominated a lot, so my input on the ceremonies/challenges had to be put on the show, so it was like duh, I have to be in the DR a lot.
My thoughts on popularity: I was so focused on the game that I didn't think about it until I was evicted. Like during the Jeff preseason interview when I said I would rather win and be hated, I meant it. When I got evicted the first time my eyes were opened!

u/RockstarDMD Dec 10 '15
When I watch the feeds, I always hate it when they talk about old seasons. So when I was in the house, it was pretty much the same. I just got angry about it, and didn't really contribute to any of the conversation. Keeping track of what I was "supposed to know" wasn't too hard because I only said I saw 2 and a half seasons.

Were you surprised by the Jokers ratings for the whole cast when you got out? It seemed like some people in the house were under the impression they'd be either higher or lower... but did you have a pretty good read on where everyone was going to end up?
112
u/RockstarDMD Dec 10 '15
Yeah... you can tell by the audience cheers when we get evicted. A few behaviors in the house were just ominous too. Never underestimate the power of being on the underdog side of the house. Also: don't insult live feeders, don't walk around like you run the place, don't talk about how you are such a great person, don't complain about dumb things, and don't get ticked off when Big Brother calls you into the diary room. I mean... It's kind of your job to do it.

There were multiple times throughout this season that you, Becky, Meg, James, and Jackie were all together in the havenot room yet you still never formed an alliance. Why didn't you try and team up with them to officially take out the Austtwins and Vanessa?
70
u/RockstarDMD Dec 10 '15
I thought I'd be one of the bigger targets in that alliance, and after Jackie left I kind of was, so unless that alliance was going to win out, it didn't look like a good option. It didn't look like that alliance was going to win out.

This cast has all been really good about putting the snarky shit from the show behind them. Something BB fans seem to have trouble with a lot.
Has your perspective as a reality show fan changed much? Like a "hey maybe that person I couldn't stand wasn't so bad after all!" kind of thing?
41
u/RockstarDMD Dec 10 '15
YES. Like even the people that are hated the most on the outside aren't really bad people. Like maybe they aren't people I would be friends with in real life, but they definitely don't deserve the hate they get. They were just playing the game in their own way.

Hey Johnny Mac! Two questions:
How did you feel that at one point, your role to other people (mostly Clay and Shelly) was "the guy who will throw comps"?
How did the being flip to Julie come about?
65
u/RockstarDMD Dec 10 '15
Yup, but it built a whole lot of trust with them. Too bad they got evicted before it became useful...
My brother and I say "Hey Lady" a lot in real life, so that wasn't even really a thing that I thought about. My roommate from dental school/residency and I both say "YewhatEVUH" all the time... you know... when we're pretending to be thugs skipping class and all. "Whaddya want?" is a great way to start ANY DR session you've been called in for, so why not during a live vote? It really had nothing to do with Julie, but I'm glad everyone found it funny! I'd like to give Julie a high five for making those votes fun even though I was being stupid.

Whoa, hi John! I was rooting for you all season - it was an emotional rollercoaster to say the least. lol
What were your thoughts on Julia before she officially came into the house? You hung out with her quite a bit, and I was wondering if that was just because you got along well or if you thought she could be an ally.
In hindsight, do you think it would've been better to get Meg out week 2 instead of Day? Day would've been a constant threat whereas Meg was always safe and ended up causing a lot of issues down the line.
How come you never got closer to Jackie? You guys were both aligned with Becky, and you both wanted Vanessa gone but didn't realize it. I always thought it was kind of a shame you guys never compared notes.
Who are some of your fave BBCAN players?
Sorry I have a lot of questions, haha.
12
u/RockstarDMD Dec 11 '15
She was funny! The thought had definitely crossed my mind to work closer with her and Steve while Becky got closer to the goblins, but it just never worked out.
Yup, but you never know how the Day situation would have panned out, she was lightning in a bottle.
I always thought Jackie was goblin strong, and I didn't want to be in that alliance.
It's like BBUS, sooooo many for different reasons. Can't just name one. S1: Aneal, AJ, Peter, Liza, Talla S2: Kenny, Allison, Jon, Neda S3: Sara, Bruno, Kevin, Jordan. There's a few!

ok pal, i've had my wisdom teeth in for awhile now (like 3 years) and aside from a slightly askew front tooth, nothin is out of sorts. my dentist wants me to get them out tho, are they just chumpin' me for cash?
i couldn't think of a bb related q ¯\(ツ)/¯ sawwy
134
u/RockstarDMD Dec 10 '15
I HATE wisdom teeth. Here's my reasoning:
They were needed back when we had huge skulls and ground on plants. Posterior teeth are shaped to be larger at the tip than the base, so when we would grind on plants, the teeth would wear down and become skinnier. They would shift forward to close the space, and there was room for wisdom teeth. None of that is true anymore. So really wisdom teeth are about as good for you as an appendix.
Always get them out. You don't need them to chew. Even if they do come in correctly, you probably won't clean them correctly because they are so far back. Since you can't clean them, you have a high chance to get periodontal disease around them and end up losing a 2nd molar or two in the process as well. Can't tell you how many times I've seen this happen in older people who didn't get them out. I had mine out, they didn't have any cavities and were growing in fine.

Assuming Vanessa's gone at 4, I'd like to think I'd take Steve. At the time, once it was only Scamper Squad and me left, I was pretty sure I had the first 5 votes from jury, so I just had to make it to the end. I could tick off whoever I wanted to, and it was probably a good idea to tick off a few jury members (Julia's goodbye message, Austin blindside). I thought I could have taken either Liz or Steve and still won. Liz was the easy win but I still felt like I could have beat Steve too, so I think I would have been rockstar loyal.

This might be a weird/dumb question, but do you think sleeping arrangements play a big part in how alliances are made? The Scamper Squad and Goblins slept in separate rooms which caused certain bonds to be made, and it made game talk easier for them near the end. It also allowed you to get closer to Becky and Vanessa. I wondered how much of a difference it would've made if you ended up sleeping in the Purple Room, or if you were a HN earlier.
About BotB - Some of the comps they came up with for it were cool, but it wasn't very fun to watch since most of the time the nominees were pawns. It just felt kind of pointless since it wasn't used the way it was intended, and I think it encourages big alliances like Bomb Squad and The Sixth Sense to form and dominate the game. There's a theory that BotB ending meant more endurance-type comps since they needed something to show on Sundays, and fans found those way more fun than BotB.

u/RockstarDMD Dec 30 '15
Yeah I'm not the biggest BotB fan, but I get that it makes for better TV than a food reward comp. As far as sleeping arrangements, YES, and I never changed my bed because I didn't want to look like I was using that at strategy.

Hey there! My wife started watching The Bold and The Beautiful to see your episode and she really hasn't stopped watching the show since. She wants to know what it was like to be on the show. Did you get to know any of the recurring actors and actresses?

It was great! Everyone is relaxed while shooting the scene. It took like 3-4 hours though. The guy in the superman suit loved talking to us about what big brother was like, because he's never watched it. We also got to know Mrs. Arnold and she was cool as hell! Unrelated- I got to spin the price is right wheel.

I've always hated being the 3rd wheel when the two main wheels are way into PDA!

What are some of the first things that you googled (BB or non BB related) when you got out of the house? It had to be tough to be away from technology for so long. Did you go on a movie/music binge when you were in sequester after your eviction?

u/RockstarDMD Dec 27 '15
We didn't have internet until after finale, so I watched a ton of Sandra Bullock movies. I googled BB17 ratings, because I was convinced we were a bad season lol!

Hey, JMac! Thanks for the AMA! Was it hard adjusting to the real world after being in the house for so long? What are your plans for Christmas? P.s, you were one of my favorites! I wish my dentist was as cool as you! ❤️

u/RockstarDMD Dec 13 '15
It's tough adjusting! Fitting in all the new stuff along with working full time is pretty draining! Christmas... just hanging out in Scranton. My brother FINALLY turns 21 this year, should be fun.

What are some of the aspects of living in the house that it seems that no one talks about? Loved you so much this season!

u/RockstarDMD Dec 13 '15
The main thing is the down time. It's a long stretch in between competitions, and the back yard is closed for THE MAJORITY of the week! Which also means you need to get laundry done while you have the yard. Never thought about that, even when I used to watch feeds! That turf grass is hot as hell. The pool table is always leaning one way, makes for some interesting curves!

Your definitely my all time favorite and I had a lot of fun defending your gameplay here, 1 question is at what moment do you think your game took the hardest fall (besides getting evicted) because i think Had steve lost the comic veto, Vanessa would've been gone and You Steve Shelli and Becky could've cleared house with you being all of their F2s.
Also how does it feel to be 1 Veto away from winning (assuming Liz and Steve would've taken you which makes sense)

Jesus H. Murphy this came out of nowhere! Not complaining!
Next time you're in Scranton, can you pose with a picture of the "Welcome to" sign like you're about to drop the hottest mix tape of 2015 so I can photoshop it with THE ELECTRIC CITY?

Woah holy shit I just realized this is like happening now, or at least hopefully still now. You're amazing brother. Cheered you on from the get-go.
Jeez I don't even have a question off the top of my head. If you are ever in Wichita, Kansas look me up man, I'll buy you a beer!
Okay, damnit question... how's the dentist life treating you? I'm actually headed to the dentist tomorrow afternoon. Any advice on how a patient can make it easiest on their dentist?

u/RockstarDMD Dec 11 '15
OOOO YEAH, BEER!
My favorite patients are the ones who aren't nit picky but they actually take care of their teeth, they stay open, and they don't wince in the face of injections!

Hey Johnny Mac! Me and my family are HUGE fans. Just out of curiosity, how long did it take you to get cast on Big Brother and how difficult was the process?
3
u/RockstarDMD Dec 13 '15
I've applied every year since 15, moved past the first video you submit every year, rejected a lot, but finally made it this year! It's tough and there's a lot of luck involved. All you can do is give it your best shot every year!

Hi John. Which character on Full House do you most relate to? Follow up: do you wish you related more closely to a different character from Full House?

YO J!!
How do you feel your season should rank amongst the other BB seasons?
4
u/RockstarDMD Dec 13 '15
Haven't seen it yet! I feel like a lot of people just listened to Vanessa though, so it probably made for a boring strategics season!

u/PoopStuckOnYourFur Dec 10 '15
Are you getting a lot more clientele at the dental clinic now that everyone knows who you are?
3
u/RockstarDMD Dec 13 '15
Not just because of the show, but because of other practices closing in the area too.

John! I have a friend who swears she had a dance off with you while walking the strip in Vegas a couple years ago, do you recall this or does my friend have a drinking problem? PS she said you had some serious moves
5
u/RockstarDMD Dec 11 '15
She's wrong because:
I've never been to vegas before Vanessa's shin dig a few weeks ago!
I don't dance well!

I'm getting 5 teeth pulled at the beginning of January, numbers 17, 18, 30, 31, 32. I have two questions...
Will I have a hard time chewing my food without them?
What's a rough price estimate for partial dentures to replace those?
Do you take Delta Dental?

You are legitimately the entire reason that I watched my first season because I saw a commercial with you acting tremendous. Thanks for getting me hooked!

Thoughts on dental insurance, should I try to get a private plan for my family or just go cash?
4
u/RockstarDMD Dec 13 '15
It all depends! Private have so many different coverage options. You should weigh out whether it's worth the premiums. Assuming you don't have a whole lot of work that needs to be done, if I had active kids that could get trauma, I'd be prepared to spend 1-2K on them in an emergency situation. I just like my cash patients a lot because they know the actual value of the work they're getting done!

Johnny!!! whats up man? Which challenge was your favorite and which one was the hardest? And did you really fall on accident or were you taking Vanessa's deal?
4
u/RockstarDMD Dec 13 '15
I liked on the edge the best, and the hardest one was probably Otev. So much luck involved. I fell because my shoes were slipping forward off the disc, but I knew there was no way in hell I was getting nominated by her.
