Storm was blindsided by Dickson Wong, who shockingly sent MGs showmance partner out of the game.
And then, at the very next temple, Maria-Grace foundherselfbeing blindsided, this time at the hands ofDr.
And let’s just say there is some very interesting news to share.

MARIA-GRACE COOK:I actually forgot that happened.
It’s like obvious I had never watched it before.
They take these two things, they mash ‘em together.

I think it’s hilarious.
How shocked were you when Dr. Will said your name and that he was eliminating you?
Honestly, I had no doubts in my head.

It seems like something he would do.
And I said, Parvati, you’re crazy.
And then I was like, Oh, it’s me!

What was up with Willwalking out of the excursionand walking off the Temple set after he said your name?
Hes walking out of everything!
Speaking about Dr. Will in the game, he is the most insane person I’ve ever met.

You never know what he’s going to do.
He’s very just out there.
You couldn’t explain him.
I would love a psychiatrist to go through his brain and figure it out.
Well, in your final words, you said, Will is just garbage as a person.
It is not just a character or an act.
He truly is not a good person.
Do you stand by those words?
No, I don’t.
I was very upset.
I was bawling, crying.
I’m glad it didn’t show all that crying.
In real life, he’s actually a really nice, normal person with a great family and everything.
But in the games, he is like a method actor.
He comes into those games and portrays that role 24/7.
So it is really hard to get along with him.
Whom did you watch the episode with last night?
[Long pause] I watched it with him.
What was that experience like?
But yeah, that was tough.
I’m not going to lie.
I left his house very upset.
I spoke to you right at the very end of filming and you were still upset at him.
So when did things finally thaw out between you two a little bit?
Knowing what we know now, I did take him up on that offer.
I do work for his company.
I live in L.A., so then I got to see more of him being an actual human being.
I’m not going to lie: I was looking forward to it.
That’s the first thing I thought of when he kicked me out and I was bawling.
I was like, Oh, do I get to see Storm?
Because you don’t really know what’s happening after that.
They put you in his car, you’re leaving, and it’s like What’s happening?
But yeah, I was excited.
Lets get into the whole showmance thing.
When did the sparks begin to fly on your end, MG?
When we got on the boat and he sat between me and Lette, I knew immediately.
I was like, This is weird.
I’m like, This is a playbook out of a frat boy.
This is such a frat boy take your shirt off under a palm tree throw in thing.
And then I was like, Oh no, I can’t help myself.
And then yeah, I kind of fell for him.
Dickson shocked everybody by taking Storm out instead of CK.
It was really hard.
I couldn’t care less.
So I wasn’t happy.
I guess he really wanted to shock, which he did.
Everyone’s mouths were dropped.
So if you had played the Banker in this last episode and won, whom would you have eliminated?
Honestly, I probably would’ve just taken CK, because I didn’t want Will on my case.
So taking her out would’ve just kind of kept the storms down.
Yeah, no pun intended.
Whats the status of you and Storm now?
You knew this question was coming.
If I have to be the bearer of bad news, he is a very great guy.
He did visit me in L.A.
He’s very awesome.
We are not together and I do not plan on visiting Austin anytime soon.
But he is really great.
And there’s only but kind words to say about him.
Yeah, when I spoke to him last week, he said toask you if you were comingto Austin.
Yeah, we had a lot of conversations.
And then off the island, it’s kind of like you’re in this fake world.
Oh, I already had a conversation about this with Phillip last night.
It was the best conversation I had the whole entire time.
I have no bad words to say about you.
Then he moves to CK, then blindsides me.
So there’s a lot of mind games going on.
