“I don’t leave the show completely, just keep watching,” Jax tells EW.
“I’m not going anywhere, don’t worry.
JAX TAYLOR:It was definitely a different punch in of show.
I’m definitely not used to that.
How did it feel being the first one banished from the show?
And sure enough, I was the first one voted off.
Why am I getting voted off?
And everyone’s like, “No, you did just the opposite.
And she was right.
I just wanted to win this game fair and square.
I didn’t want to do the lying, the cheating, the alliances.
Especially with a cast like this.
I mean, it’s literally calledHouse of Villains.
1 guy in the group” on their show.
You kind of were aloof.”
And she was right, because I was very intimidated.
When I was there, I was just learning.
They didn’t need anything else, they were so witty and they’re so smart.
I was just in awe of these women and how they play the game.
Were you expecting to be voted off, or did you think it would be Corinne?
I was going back and forth with it.
But now I understand why they voted me off.
I was very aggressive.
I just wanted to win.
I didn’t want to work with anybody.
I was against alliances.
I was against the chess part of the game.
I’m an idiot.
Why do you think the vote was unanimous?
Why did you vote me out?"
He’s like, “It would’ve made no difference.
Of course I wanted you to be there, but I can’t lose against the house.
You have to always bet on the house.”
If that’s the reason why I’m off the show, then I’m okay with that.
Do you think your snoring is partly to blame as well?
Yeah, I know it’s a thing.
I am a loud sleeper and I felt really, really bad.
I go, “A, you’re grown women, you need your space.
B, I’m a loud sleeper.”
So I was like, “I’m just going to put myself on the couch.”
What was it like getting literally thrown backwards into the wall?
It was pitch black back there and that’s really about it.
It a high drop, you get thrown quickly back.
It was kind of cool.
I was fine with it.
How long were you trapped in that chair in the wall?
I was stuck in there for about five minutes.
Why did you pick Jonny Fairplay to guide you in the redemption challenge?
And did you really believe him when he told you he didn’t sabotage you?
That’s what he’s known for!
[Laughs] No.
I come to find out, when I Googled everybody, why they are villains.
Jonny Fairplay lied about his grandmother being dead, Johnny Bananas took money from his partner after winningThe Challenge.
If I would’ve known that, I wouldn’t have picked these people!
I just thought everyone’s going to play fair.
“Why would he sabotage me?
It makes no sense.”
I was walking in so naive.
So yeah, I did not see that coming, and he apologized to me.
Now we’re good friends.
