- You really connected with Ekin-Su as well. You felt quite fatherly towards her.
LEVI ROOTS: Yeah. I did. I did. I thought everyone was being unfair to Ekin-Su. I thought there was a little bit of micro-bullying going on, if you know what I mean. Not directly, but I just thought that people were picking on her for some reason.
I thought people was looking at her for what she was and how she was in the house, which was important that we all concentrated in that bubble and how we were with each other. I didn't think it was fair that people were kind of judging her on what she had done on other shows before. So I had to put a bit of an arm around her and told her that I felt like she was my daughter in some way, and when that moment comes, you really have to protect that person. So we had a lot of conversation. I was trying to really cheer her up so she felt a little bit better.
