The host also reacts to the Carolina drama at the “Women Tell All” reunion.

I absolutely love and adore Velma!

A lot of the conversation at the reunion centered on Carolina.

I think the truth lies somewhere in the middle.

Carolina is justified in sharing her own truths and concerns.

She was always very upfront and honest about her feelings throughout.

The women also have a right to feel frustrated about how the drama affected their time with Grant.

What was your reaction to that news?

I commend Dina for being so open with me and sharing that information.

I can appreciate how difficult of a decision that must have been for her in the moment.

Congrats on breaking Grant’s chubby bunny recordafter bragging that you could.

Was there a spit bucket behind your chair, or did you chew and swallow all those marshmallows?

There was a spit bucket.

I had to drink a liter of water during commercial break.

My cheeks have been sore ever since, but winning on national TV made it all worth it.
