I am in a household of five people, including my sister.
Have you been able to watch this season with her and see her reaction?
Actually, no, I haven’t.

I’m trying to be as distant from it as possible.
I know she was just excited.
What songs did you sing?”
She was so excited.
I didn’t tell her any of it.
But it was so much fun to see her excitement for when the episodes did come out.
She was so, so happy.
I think I found out a couple days before.
She came into the trailer and she just started crying.
Shesa was so excited.
I think that was the day of my first performance.
So it was so much fun.
One of your clue packages mentionedBeyonce.
But I’m not going to turn into a singer.
I don’t know if that makes sense.
I’m not going to be like, all right, now here’s my debut album.
Maybe, I don’t know.
So I wanted to see to it it was all me and that it was just right.
So I think being able to do that in that aspect is really cool.
Maybe Woodpecker will drop music.
I don’t know.
Yeah, a bunch of different things.
I think, one, I didn’t realize how hard it was.
You’re kind of just like your own mascot in a sense.
you’re able to kind of just do whatever.
But then when you get there, it’s like, no, this is a competition.
It just felt very, it was intense.
It was really intense, and you want to do a great job.
But I loved being Woodpecker.
It was so, so fun.
And yeah, I wouldn’t trade it for the world.
