Courtney Stodden may not have won Celebrity Big Brother 12, but she's still feeling richer for the experience.

Though she was "buzzing" (having a great time, per her new favorite British slang word) most of the time, the worst part, "was boredom and not being able to communicate with my family," Courtney exclusively told E! News after leaving the house.

But, she added, "I was able to come away with strength, wisdom and positivity from my experience. I feel more like a grown woman."

After saving her stuffed bunny from the wash, spending time in garden jail and posing as one-half of a couple with Dustin Diamond, the 19-year-old was evicted on Wednesday's episode, aka day 21 of the U.K. competition. She posed for her official eviction pic in a shiny, skin-tight pink minidress.

While she missed husband Doug Hutchison more than anything, Starbucks was a close second, Courtney admitted.

Or maybe food of any kind...

"I'm starving! I'm waiting for the hotel to bring me my pasta but they're taking forever," she told us.

The teen will be staying in London for at least another week to do interviews and check out other business opportunities.

"I absolutely adore London and I can't wait to explore it more," she gushed. And would she ever be up for more Big Brother, either abroad or at home in the States?

"Hell no!" Courtney assured us.
