On a different connection.
So dont be surprised if you see Parvati once again stirring the cauldron.
A dream come true.

It felt like I was pinching myself.
I was like, I have a coat!
It’s a beautiful island.

These dorms that we stay in are ultra glam.
We have hot showers.
I love an outdoor shower, and the water is hot.
I was like, This is the lap of luxury!"
Break down for me how this game is similar or different toSurvivorandThe Traitors.
This is similar toSurvivorin that there is a social element.
That’s a really different thing toSurvivor.
you’ve got the option to’t really fly under the radar and be safe in this game.
So I think that’s cool.
I definitely want to be in the bottom.
So in my mind I’m like, Can I win this challenge?
That’s the first thing.
It could be a combination of skill, athletic ability, lying or bluffing, strategic relationships.
there pops up another surprise twist.
And so you just can’t plan for anything.
Thats pretty different from the challenges onThe Traitors,which basically dont mean anything.
The challenges onTraitorsare pointless.
I phoned it in on all the challenges onThe Traitors.Sandradidnt.
She busted her head.
She got a head wound, she tried so hard.
Those are the only challenges Sandras ever tried in, the ones that dont matter.
