We werent planning on anything, just living presently with each other [on set].
I was hanging out with her last week, and I talk to her every day.
Who made the first move?

It wasnt an exciting, passionate, romantic thing on the show.
She swears up and down that I made the first move.
I mightve checked her out first, my neck mightve snapped before hers.

When did you realize Kori pisses in bottles?
Have you seen them in person?No!
Ive learned to take everything Kori says as a joke or with a grain of salt.
Im not entirely convinced that was piss.
If it was, dont bring it around me.
I think you should ask the next couple of girls, because Ive not looked for evidence.

Speaking of piss, you said last week that you were going to piss in the dunk tank.
I couldnt hold it.
Her runways will be missed heavily.
Getting eliminated is a tough thing, soshe was probably just fired up in the moment.
It was definitely uncalled for, but I dont think either of them hold hard feelings.
If you have hate, put it on my page for the engagement boost.
Dont send it to Arrietty.
All of that confidence I had going into this challenge was completely put on and fake.
I wasnt excited, I was super nervous the whole time.
Scripted acting work isnt something Im known to excel in.
I knew, going into this, that it wasnt going to be the one for me.
This episode also included the dreaded Who should go home and why?"
question on the Main Stage, and only Onya said you, adding that youre the weaker one.
Did that surprise you?I dont think it was necessarily surprising.
All the girls chose Suzie because they were intimidated because shes big competition.
I wasnt surprised to hear that from anyone.
I think Id looked down on myself in the competition and was finding my footing a little bit.
What she said, Id been echoing in my head.You lip-synced againstLana JaRae.
You said you were excited to show a stunt.
Did you practice it?No!
I think it was apparent that I didnt.
Those scissors were just seating in my breast cup for the entire night.
Mix that with panic, dread, and disappointment from the judges, pack your bags!
I was just hoping for a miracle at that point.Whats next for you?Stay tuned onInstagramand everywhere else.
