The second one, I’m like, “Okay, this is kind of funny.”
The third one is, “This is ridiculous.”
Like, you guys need to stop, you’re just sending yourself home.

There’s always that possibility that you could go home.
When Monay was about to guess, the name Donny Osmond was already out in the house.
So I knew that that was coming close to the end for me.
I’m like, “Oh, I’m totally a goner.”
What did your dad say when you first told him you were doing the show?
He was really thrilled.
It’s a big opportunity.
This is a big show and there’s a lot of hype with it.
And so he was very supportive all the way through for me to do it.
Has he been watching?
Oh yeah, he watches every single episode.
So he’s been my hype man.
He can’t stop laughing about it.
He thinks it’s hilarious.
He’s just a talented, talented man.
Like for some reason, it just wasn’t dawning on me.
Are you still close with anyone since filming ended?
Well, we’re in a giant group chat with everybody so we have a great time there.
But yeah, I do stay connected with a lot of them.
In fact, I just saw Cole Cook.
He came out to Utah because [his sister] Alicia Keys was playing a concert out here.
So we went out and met with him and hung out.
Can you tell me more about that?
But it definitely was difficult, almost like not having your own identity.
You’re always the son of somebody else.
And so I’m glad I did it….
I have my own life.
I work a 9-to-5.
I still got to work, I still got to put food on the table just like anybody else.
It’s just, I’ve got a dad with a different desk job, you know?
Where can fans find your music?Are you pursuing more in the entertainment industry?
And you might find me on social media.
But yeah, more to come.
I’m producing and recording right now and hopefully performing here soon.
