Local "Big Brother 5" contestant Scott Long spent last night watching his fellow contestants from a new vantage point -- from a television screen.
For anyone without a television, the CBS prime time show features 13 housemates playing headgames as they compete for $500,000 in cash, with their actions detailed by nearly 40 cameras 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.

Long, 26, of Shadyside, was ousted from the competition last night, bounced by a 4-3 vote. Long said his eviction came as a surprise.

"I thought I had the whole house (behind me)," Long said, as he sat in a producers' booth watching his friend Cowboy, now sleeping in the bed he once occupied.

Long said his position of strength in the house -- built on brains and brawn -- made him a target. He also told lies about himself early on to try to strengthen his position.

Long and three other men in the house made an early pact to stick together, calling themselves "The Four Horsemen." Long was the first of the four to go.

"I knew regardless of what I did, I'd be a threat because of my (physical) size. And then people talked to me and they found out I wasn't some dumb jock," Long said.

Also on the block that night was Marvin, a mortician from South Carolina. Long didn't have a whole lot of love for Marvin, naming him as the resident with the most annoying habits.

"He doesn't have very many good things to say about anyone in the house. He'll stab you in the back," Long said.

The 'Burgh boy is disappointed to be moving on, but he said his friendships with the other horsemen will continue.

Long and two of the other four horsemen, Jase and Drew, have discussed continuing their roomie relationships in Los Angeles, where Long, who has modeled for Playgirl, hopes to make a go of it in La-La Land. The three men plan to attend Cowboy's Oklahoma wedding in December.

Before all of that, the axed contestant plans to relax in Pittsburgh. He arrives home tomorrow to a chauffeur-driven night on the town with friends and family to celebrate his return. Likely stops are an upscale Downtown dinner followed by bar-hopping in the Strip District.

He won't make the $500,000 prize, but Long said his time was well-spent.

"I wouldn't trade it for anything. ... I found the best friends in the world anyone could hope to find," Long said.

Shadyside man doesn't regret 'Big Brother' experience

First, I would like to start by saying CONGRATS to my best friend and brother, Drew, from "Big Brother 5". Drew came to me when the show first started and for people who aren't Drew and I, you didn't see what happened in the back yard that night. Drew came to me that night around 2 am and asked me a few ?'s about how he was going to handle this experience and the people and life without Ben, his awesome twin brother. It was tough for me to give advice to Drew, considering this was a game and nothing was really real. At that moment, I saw a person in Drew that I was a few years back when I was just coming out of college at the University of Pittsburgh. It was like my first college football game against V-Tech and Michael Vick at Pitt Stadium when I was nervous, afraid and I missed being protected by the ones I loved.

I looked at Drew and said that by the end of this show, whether you win it or not, you will find a man inside that you never knew existed. I'm not sure exactly what I said, but I told him to be strong and that he could trust me no matter what. I wanted to be there for my brother, who I never had. And I was. From that day to the next, Drew and I became close and we began to read the Bible and box and lift and even cry.

I am writing this journal entry to let everyone know what an amazing man Drew Daniel is in my eyes. He became a man when in my eyes he already was. I knew he was going to win the show and he did. I just talked to him today on the phone, along with his brother, Ben, and it was just like in the house. We laughed and hooted and hollered our butts off and talked about a few things you will never know. Future plans and things to come made me smile from ear to ear. I'm not revealing too much, but you just might see the horsemen back in L.A. real soon. Just with 1 or 2 new members. Jase is always welcome as a friend and I love him to death, even if he doesn't think the same of me.

Cowboy is happily with his family now and he needs to focus on Chason and April. I will be attending his wedding in December, so that should be a hell of a ride!!!!!!! Going into that house and coming out, we all became stronger and more in touch with a lot of things most people will never experience. Tonight, I sat at the end of my dock on the river and looked into the sunset that glazed the sky and water below and smiled. I took a deep breath, thanked God and prayed for Diane, Lori, Drew, Cowboy, Jase and my family that He protects us on the path we take and guides us, just like he did for Drew the whole way to the end. This life is preparation for the next and that's the important one and I want everyone out there to help and lend a hand to anyone who needs one.

To Drew, I hope I helped you as much as I could and don't change one bit, brother. One last shout out is to my friend, Josh Souza, the man who is making a lot of great things happening out in La. He's been a great friend, Mentor and BIG BROTHER!!! Thanks Josh for everything and THEFISHBOWL ROCKS! I see big things for the future!!! Oh, and Diane, I love ya babe!!!!!!!!!!! Just got off the phone with her and she and I are like brother and sister – it's scary!!!!!!!!! Well, take care everyone and don't be afraid to DREAM.

**waywyrd** · 03-24-2006, 01:56 PM

Maybe he needs his bath buddy Jase to help him out with his hygiene issues.

naw, I remember Jase having a problem with sweat stains

Scott has no hope now... Maybe he can come up with a good lie, I remember he was rather good at lying about everything...Escalades, etc.
