ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY:You were really gunning to be the guesser only to guess wrong.
I totally did think it was Elton John.
But I’m glad it happened.

I think it’s funny.
Have you been able to visit him since filming?
It’s been harder and harder to see him.

My mom spends a lot of her time with him.
So it’s really family oriented.
How is he doing?
He’s pretty sick.
He still does use his brain.
He listens to audiobooks.
He’s a genius.
He’s super smart.
It was also made public since the show that your grandmother, Rosalynn Carter, has been battling dementia.
How is she doing?
I just want to say that she’s an amazing woman.
She’s put in so much work in her life.
She’s done things for mental health.
I want everyone to know how incredibly important and beautiful she is as a person and a grandma.
What were your thoughts seeing that?
Yeah, I don’t wanna be associated with Trump on this show.
I did think it was really funny and I really liked watching it.
And honestly, the funny face representing Trump is hilarious.
But yeah, I want to stick with my grandpa for sure.
Have you ever met Trump?
Do the families of former presidents socialize and swap stories?
I’ve met Hillary and Bill Clinton kind of recently.
I haven’t met Trump yet though, which is like, it’s fine.
During the lie detector challenge, you said you had been interrogated before by friends, family, girlfriends.
I’m just a really energetic person.
People wanna know what’s going on with me.
Do you think she’ll be satisfied with you going home on a wrong guess?
It’s hard to say because I have actually texted Carly a little bit.
I think we’re closer now than we were on the show.
I didn’t think that her clues helped me, but also it really did hurt to guess her.
I do like her.
Who are you rooting for to win now that you are out?
I’m rooting for Gabriel to win.
That’s my boy.
From the first day, we kind of bonded over things.
He really protected me multiple times.
In thebooth,he’s like, “Goodbye, Cole.
I’m protecting Hugo.”
He really held it down for me.
