They both seem very intense, but in different ways.

OnBig Brother, it’s possible for you to lay in bed all day and really think about people.
OnThe Traitors, they just throw you in.
Every single day you’re filming and you’re just in the moment.

So there’s a lot of paranoia, I would say.
There’s really no time [onThe Traitors].
What did you make ofBig Brother Reindeer Games?
I likedReindeer Games.I thought it was a nice change.
I loved that it was fast-paced.
I loved the competitions.
That was my favorite thing.
I was like, I would totally be down for that.
It’s stuff I could win.
So I do like the competitions forReindeer Games.
I think it was a nice change.
Would you doReindeer Gamesif they do it again next year?
I don’t know that I would.
I don’t think so.
I don’t really even know if I’m going to do any more TV after this.
Why do you say that?
I didn’t think I would even do anything after my last [Big Brother] All-Stars.
I don’t know that I have the time to do a lot of TV.
I don’t know that I would doReindeer Games.
Would you do another regularBig Brother?
I really don’t want to playBig Brotheranymore.
I just had my 44th birthday, so I’m kind of over that.

But you’re not officially retiring from reality competition TV though?
You’re just selective in what you pick?
I’m super selective.
My favorite show that I ever did wasSnake in the Grass.
I would doBuddy Games.
At one point you told me youwanted to doSurvivor,I guess that’s off the table now.
After I didSnake in the Grass, I don’t think I can doSurvivor.
Yeah, the bugs were getting to me sleeping in the jungle.
It was really not for me.
