Was it heavy? Because it was big.
No. It was really light. It was probably the most comfortable I’ve ever been on a red carpet.
Back to the show—who would you say is your closest ally in real life, off the show?
There are so many—I’d say Lisa Rinna. Keep in mind, I never watched any of the shows that any of these people were on. So I didn’t know of anyone. I didn’t know who Lisa Rinna was.
So when I finished filming and it was in the press, my friends were going, “You were in there with this person and this.” And I was like, “How do you know?” I’d never watched Survivor. I’d never watched Big Brother or Housewives. But I really bonded with Lisa Rinna. I think she’s wild. She kind of reminds me a bit of me.
I was going to say, you both brought a lot of fashion every day.
Her looks, I’m sorry, she absolutely slayed. And then Mark Ballas, love him. Absolutely love him. Who else? Eric. I mean, there’s so many. Candiace, got on with her. Yeah, so many.
Did you have any downtime? Because it looked like everything was pretty quick, like back to back. Did you bond with them off camera?
We did have downtime. There is quite a lot of downtime. Obviously we cannot talk game chat, but we could talk about everything else. We could talk about our families, like everything else about us. That was kind of the opportunity where we really got to know one another.
In your opinion, who was the best player among the contestants, and who was the worst?
If I was asked this question before watching it, I would not know what to say. But now that I’m watching, I’m like, Lisa Rinna as a Traitor, and even Candiace—I think all the Traitors are doing a fantastic job. I cannot believe what I’m seeing on the screen.
The worst? I would probably say me because I had not a clue what I was doing, but I was walking around the castle going, “God, I’m good at this game.” Genuinely just having a laugh. I think at one stage I turned around to someone and said, “I’m going to murder you tonight.” People take things so literally. I think it was to Natalie. I looked at her face and was like, “I’m going to murder you tonight.” I’m just such a joker, and that could have really screwed up everything for me. I just don’t think of things like that.
I mean, Michael probably as well because he was a Faithful, but he was a very bad Faithful. He was causing a lot of distraction.
The fifth episode where Michael was banished was crazy. It seemed like regardless of what his gameplay was, people were over his energy.
It was a lot, and it did cause a lot of distraction. So, yeah, he had to go.
