00:00Can you reveal a reality show that you turned down?
00:03I turned down House of Villains.
00:04I turned down Celebrity Big Brother.
00:06I turned down The Goat.
00:07There's like a bunch.
00:08And any you wish you did or would do?
00:10No?
00:11No.
00:12All right.
00:13I mean, you're picking good ones, obviously.
00:14I wanna pick good ones.
00:15I don't wanna do every reality show.
00:17I just wanna do the ones that seem really fun to me.
00:20And yeah, I think I'm doing a good job picking.
00:22Backstab, partner with, or cut from the cast
00:25before you start filming.
00:27And the first one is Survivor Edition.
00:28Tony, Boston Rob, Jeremy.
00:31Cut from the cast, Tony.
00:33Backstab, Jeremy, partner with Rob.
00:37Okay.
00:38I feel like that needs no explanation.
00:39Yeah.
00:40Traitor's Edition.
00:41Peter, Phaedra, Sandra.
00:43Oh, this is hard.
00:45I think I would cut Peter
00:47because he did not accept my invitation to be a traitor.
00:49So I couldn't trust that he would do it again.
00:51Cut Peter.
00:53Backstab, Phaedra, partner with Sandra.
00:57There you go.
00:59Deal or no deal edition.
01:00David, Dr. Will, Sidney.
01:02Oh, that's so hard.
01:05Okay, well I'm gonna cut Sidney from the cast
01:07just as a mercy cut.
01:09We're gonna allow her, set her free.
01:11Backstab, Dr. Will, partner with David.
01:13I'm already doing that.
01:14Okay, there you go.
01:15All right, so I wasn't gonna make it too hard.
01:16You were close, but thank you.
01:18Okay, what reality show that you've been on
01:20has been the hardest to prepare for?
01:22A physical preparation and a mental preparation.
01:25Physical preparation,
01:27preparing for Survivor Australia versus The World.
01:30Their games are so grueling.
01:33They're like ferocious.
01:35They always lift like giant boulders
01:37or they mud wrestle and judo people.
01:39Or you have to like stand on a spiky poke for five hours.
01:42I'm like, okay, I gotta like really physically
01:45get myself ready for this.
01:46So I did.
01:47And then mentally, well, fashion wise, traitors.
01:51Of course.
01:52I'm like, I don't own any headbands.
01:55I gotta buy all of this.
01:57Like I gotta get my looks right.
02:00And then mentally, I wouldn't say,
02:03I would say energetically deal or no deal
02:06because it's more of a, it's get out of your head
02:08and get into your like heart space
02:10and in your presence in your body.
02:13That was how I prepared for that and how I played.
02:16So I guess mentally it would be Survivor
02:18because Survivor, well, also with traitors,
02:22it's like you just can't prepare for it.
02:23So nuts and psycho, it's just like,
02:26just like stay sane as best you can.
02:30But Survivor, like mentally,
02:32I had to give myself permission to be Machiavellian
02:36to really like consider strategy
02:39and how to maneuver certain people,
02:42how to work with certain people's emotional levers.
02:45It's like Survivor's such a strategic game in all aspects.
02:49Yeah, fair.
02:50And physical, obviously.
02:51Yeah, and physical, yeah.
02:52Well, on that note, best living conditions
02:54because as I was watching Deal or No Deal Island,
02:56I was like, this must be so funny for someone like you
02:59who literally had to live on an island
03:01and live off the island.
03:02And then this is like a glamorized version of it.
03:04You have a bed, you mentioned makeup.
03:06Like we're not doing that on Survivor,
03:08but it is still like living on an island.
03:10You've lived in the traitor's world.
03:13What are the best living conditions?
03:15Girl, put me on an island any day of my life.
03:19I love an exotic, beautiful beach.
03:21Deal or No Deal Island was a glamping experience
03:24that I would have paid for.
03:25Yeah.
03:26I mean, minus like sleeping next to Rock who snored,
03:28Dixon who was always hacking and coughing in his sleep,
03:31sometimes talking in his sleep.
03:33I was like, oh, I could do without these guys,
03:34but the glamp experience was so nice.
03:38And then the pavilion that they had us in,
03:40the dock, the hammocks, the swing.
03:43I really, I loved it there.
03:44The castle in Scotland is nice, but it's cold.
03:46Right.
03:47And it's probably haunted.
03:48Yeah, definitely haunted.
03:49By the ghost of first murders.
03:52Dorinda.
03:52Did it ever feel like, was there ever a moment
03:54where a Deal or No Deal Island co-star
03:57like complained about like living outside
03:59and you were like, listen, on Survivor,
04:01we were like on the ground in the rain
04:03and all eating cold rice.
04:05Or was everyone happy to be there?
04:07Everyone was really happy to be there,
04:08but the bugs freaked people out and the snakes.
04:11There were a lot of snakes.
04:12Oh.
04:13Yeah.
04:14Okay.
04:14I don't mind snakes.
04:15Okay.
04:16Some people really do.
04:17Machiavellian of you.
04:18Yeah, whatever.
04:19Wrap me up in a cobra.
04:21I don't know if you've said this before,
04:22but did you ever reveal what you did
04:22with your Survivor money?
04:24I started a wellness center.
04:25Oh.
04:26I wrote about this in my book.
04:27It's in my book too.
04:28Yeah, I opened up a wellness center in Santa Monica.
04:30It's like Pilates, yoga, personal training, massage.
04:34We tried to do kind of everything.
04:35Yeah.
04:36It was like a little too much.
04:37Yeah.
04:37So yeah, I sold it, but at a major loss.
04:39So it was like an investment that didn't quite work out.
04:42But it was like a passion.
04:43It was definitely a passion project.
04:44Fueled the soul.
04:45And at that point in my life,
04:46I didn't know what I was gonna do for my career.
04:49I was so young.
04:50So I just went for it.
04:52And I was like, well, never have to try that again.
