Speaker 1 (00:00):
This is the Ben and Ashley I Almost Famous podcast
with iHeartRadio.
Speaker 2 (00:05):
It's Almost Famous podcast, and we are here today to
talk about a new show on Hulu with some of
Bachelor Nation's favorites. It's a list of people that will
just make your heart smile. The show is called Got
to Get Out. Fans got to know and love Susan Knowles,
Demi Burnett, and Claire Crawley on our beloved Bachelor Nation
(00:28):
shows over the years, from starring on the very first
seasons of The Golden Bachelor, to being the Bachelorette, to
making Bachelor and Paradise history. These ladies are no stranger
to the reality television stage, and now they're back on
our screens and Hulu's new reality TV competition show, Got
to Get Out. The show premiered on Friday, April eleventh.
(00:52):
According to Deadline, the series pits reality TV royals against
Reality TV rookies who live under one roof and fight
for chance to win one million.
Speaker 3 (01:03):
One million dollars guys and Demi, Claire and Susan are
amongst like Like Ben said, Like TV Royalty, Reality TV
royalty Spencer Pratt Valve from Dancing with the Stars Kim
Zolziak and all Morosa. They're all competing together for this
million dollar prize. On the show. Everyone has a chance
(01:25):
to either stay together in the house and split the
money equally at the end, or try to escape at
any point and then keep all the prize money for themselves.
That is going to leave everybody back at the house
with nothing. However, the longer they're in the house together,
the greater the prize money becomes. There's a clock and
there's a button, and you can keep watching the money
(01:49):
go up higher and higher.
Speaker 2 (01:50):
The show's out now. All episodes of Got to Get
Out are now streaming on Hulu, so you gotta go
stream them. It is, as we said, reality television, along
with some reality TV rookies. Got to Get Out premiered
April eleventh on Hulu. It's streaming now. Then, we have
one of the stars with us today, Demmy, Welcome back
(02:13):
to Almost Famous.
Speaker 4 (02:15):
Hi, thanks for having me.
Speaker 2 (02:18):
The show is wild. I just we just read through
what this show is about. How in the world did
you say us to it?
Speaker 4 (02:25):
I wanted money? Yeah, and also.
Speaker 5 (02:31):
You should never turn down the opportunity to be on television.
Speaker 2 (02:35):
I mean, we just had you on I don't know
how many months ago. It's been. Time flies when we're
having so much fun here. But back then you were
kind of talking about how you did desire to be
back on television, but you you know, you also spoke
about kind of your journey personally. So when they approached
you about coming on this show, did you have any hesitations?
Speaker 5 (03:00):
Like I think that before like I do anything, that
my first initial reaction is always no, I don't want to,
Like I don't know, like that sounds scary, or like
I would just much rather stay in my safe place
at home and like with my animals and like my
cozy little haven that I've built, And no matter how
(03:22):
great it is, like, my first initial reaction is I
don't want to. But then of course it's like, well,
this is what we want, this is what we love doing,
this is what we need to do also.
Speaker 4 (03:34):
And so.
Speaker 5 (03:36):
Then it's like I tell I can tell like my
close people about it, so they get excited for me,
so then I can start to feel more excited. But yeah,
I mean it's always like I'm scared, but I'm gonna
do it anyway.
Speaker 2 (03:50):
The animals mean so much to you, Where do they
go during the process of filming.
Speaker 5 (03:54):
I actually have someone who stays here, and she's known
my dog since he was a puppies, So I just
have her stay in my apartment.
Speaker 2 (04:02):
That's feel good.
Speaker 5 (04:04):
Oh yeah, it feels good knowing there in safe pans.
Speaker 1 (04:06):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (04:06):
Well, to me, this show sounds wild, it sounds exciting.
It obviously premiered April eleventh, and we're here to talk
about it today. For anybody that is just saving up
to watch this, to binge it, to do whatever they
do on Hulu while they tune in, can you give
them kind of a teaser to what this show is
(04:28):
all about?
Speaker 5 (04:29):
Yeah, I mean I think that it's it's stupidly silly,
like it's it's stupid funny. It's so funny. I mean,
I can't believe how funny it is. I didn't know
what to expect, but it's it's it's a wonderful show.
Speaker 4 (04:43):
It's so good.
Speaker 5 (04:43):
Everyone that watches it loves it. You can expect like
some cliffhangers, like intense moments, but luckily for the cliffhanger,
you get to binge it, so you don't have to
wait a week. You can just watch the next episode.
It's it's uh it's good, it's funny, it's I love it.
Speaker 4 (05:03):
I don't know, I think it's so good.
Speaker 2 (05:05):
Have you I mean you've gone through and watched everything
at this point, right, Yes, yes, I have. Yeah, there's
a lot to this kind of new world of reality
television stars coming back on reality television, the veterans, the
all stars as that category I would throw you into.
But then also this show has the rookies, the ones
(05:26):
that have never been a part of reality television. Was
that a different dynamic? Did you kind of? Could you?
Since the skill sets the comfortability?
Speaker 5 (05:36):
Well?
Speaker 6 (05:37):
Yes.
Speaker 5 (05:38):
Also what's the most interesting part to me is that
most of the rookies, they're focus in the beginning, like,
is that they want to stay the whole show. So
they're like, oh, I don't even want to try to
seal the money yet, because you know, we've only been
here two days and there's ten days, Like I want
to make it as long as possible because they want
to be on a show. And I'm like, get me
(05:59):
out if you're right now, Like the second that thing's
out one hundred thousand dollars.
Speaker 4 (06:03):
I'm like, I want to go. I want to go,
I want to go.
Speaker 5 (06:06):
So yeah, that's an interesting dynamic of like trying to
get people to take these clues seriously. Whenever they're still
like they want to be on TV, which is I
get it. I'm sure I would feel that way too.
I did feel that way. But yeah, it's cute.
Speaker 2 (06:21):
Yeah, they want to be on TV. This is their moment,
and for you, you're like, I've had my moments.
Speaker 5 (06:25):
Yes, yes, they're like, this is my moment, and I'm like,
this is not network television.
Speaker 6 (06:31):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (06:43):
There's so much to this that kind of is intrigued
to me. One is this all star cast that they
put together. We mentioned the contestants from Bachelor Nation. We
obviously know you best from Bachelor in Paradise and your
time on the Bachelor, along with Susan Knowles and Claire,
but then also you have the Spencer Pratts and the
Omerosa's and all these others that are kind of coming
(07:04):
on the show. When you walked into the house, I'm
assuming you didn't know who the other cast members are
gonna be until you met them or saw them when
you first showed up. What was your reaction like when
you noticed some familiar faces.
Speaker 5 (07:20):
When I saw Omerosa, I remember I ran and hid
under the pool table out of like excitement and like,
oh my gosh, I'm so scared to like meet her,
like you know.
Speaker 4 (07:30):
I want her to like me.
Speaker 5 (07:32):
But yeah, so that was really exciting. I didn't ever
watch The Hills. I wasn't allowed to watch that growing up,
so like I didn't know Spencer Pratt was, but it
was cool to learn about who they were, Like as
I'm on the show and like kind of I don't know,
hear their stories, get to know them.
Speaker 4 (07:49):
It was great.
Speaker 5 (07:50):
Like me and Omerosa became such good friends and like
I never in a million years would like a dream
of saying that. You know, like she's one of the
biggest reality TV icons ever and you know she calls
me all the time now and like I crocheted her
a little cute little teddy bear, like you know, so
I really I'm so glad that I got to see
(08:11):
them and see them in their element. Also, Susan my mother,
like literally the best we She was my safety blanket
in there for sure.
Speaker 4 (08:22):
She took care of me.
Speaker 5 (08:23):
She made sure that I ate because I need that
because like especially when I'm like around a bunch of
so many people and I'm so anxious like I'm so
scared to do anything, and like I will just not
even realize that I didn't eat because I was just
scared the whole time. And so like she'll make me
a plate, or like make a plate big enough for
both of us so I could eat with her. Stuff
like that. It's like so big for me. I don't
(08:44):
even know what your question was. I'm just rambling.
Speaker 2 (08:46):
No, you answered it perfectly, and it actually leads me
to do a question I never thought about asking. But
I'm super curious for you personally. I feel like I remember,
and I could this could just be a dream that
I had. I don't know. I feel like I remember
you saying during our time on Almost Famous, when we
interviewed you about your life and your victories and your
(09:10):
struggles and just kind of catching up on everything that
had happened to you since your time on The Bachelor,
that you had mentioned that you felt like most comfortable
when you're on a TV show, that like you felt
this different level of purpose or comfort or whatever you
want to describe it when the cameras are around.
Speaker 5 (09:29):
It's it's so I feel that way still when I
do stuff for the Bachelor, like when it's my turf,
not when I'm with reality TV star legends who might
be like annoyed by my behavior, who don't necessarily encourage
all the demisms. Whereas when I'm filming for DEMI and
(09:50):
everyone's pro Demi, That's when I'm feel the most comfortable,
best time of my life. But I do not feel
the most comfortable when I'm competing with other people for
airtime or just personality wise. No, that that for me
is hard. It's hard for me to exist as myself
because I'm like, I don't know what's gonna get what
reaction from the person, and like I don't I don't
(10:11):
want to be yelled at. I hate being like yelled
at or scolded like that just makes me fired up,
so stuff like that.
Speaker 4 (10:17):
But yeah, I do love I love it when I'm.
Speaker 5 (10:20):
Praised when I'm in front of the camera, but not
when other people don't like my antics. And it's even
when I was on The Bachelor, they would silently not
like them. You know, I didn't know that they didn't
like them, but on this show I knew.
Speaker 2 (10:38):
Yeah, I mean, And it had to help then to
have Susan there, somebody that is such a comforting person
who lets.
Speaker 5 (10:44):
Me be myself and who isn't judging me because like
I mean, I get it some I won't. Like I
got really stressed out halfway through and I had to
start carrying around my emotional support bunny that I just
needed him with me because I'd wearing my loop earplugs
because I need to hear people whisper.
Speaker 4 (11:00):
I was just very.
Speaker 5 (11:01):
Anxious anyway, Like Susan and Omrosa just supported the hell
out of me, and that bunny, like Oma Rossa was
bringing me carrots for my bunny. Can you imagine, like
this villain, this reality TV villain, and she's playing with
me and my bunny because she knows that it makes
me happy and she knows like I'm I'm kind of
maybe sitting by myself or something like she's taking care
(11:22):
of me. So yeah, I could be myself with Omrosa
and with Susan. But you know, and the show is
totally not about drama at all, so you don't see
any of this drama. The show is very lighthearted and
very positive, and I think it's a great thing because
it'll encourage, you know, if there's another season, people will
want to go on it because they.
Speaker 4 (11:40):
Weren't worried about getting canceled.
Speaker 5 (11:42):
Yeah, because let me tell you, we all did some
very canceled little things in that house at one point
or another.
Speaker 2 (11:48):
That's amazing. I mean that that is a place too.
That environment does bring a level of comfort. So you
just kind of mention it. But comparing this exp well,
first off, let me ask, have you done it any
other spinoff shows like reality television shows post Bachelor World
that I'm like not thinking of.
Speaker 5 (12:06):
No, not ones where I went and like stayed and
uh like stayed the stuff. No, I did like Celebrity
Dating Game and then I hosted Bachelor stuff.
Speaker 4 (12:15):
But no, no, I don't think so, I hope not.
Speaker 2 (12:18):
So you were like a rookie in a lot of
ways too to the kind of this New World did.
Speaker 4 (12:21):
Do wwe But that's completely different. That was completely Yeah.
Speaker 2 (12:25):
No, this is like a different environment. You're staying there,
there's a whole new goal in mind, there's a new
group of people, and so you're in a sense of
rookie walking into this not knowing how you're going to
react or what to expect. So if for listeners out
there and future viewers of Got to get out, how
was the filming process different than The Bachelor for you.
Speaker 5 (12:48):
So different because I mean, I don't know if I'm
allowed to talk about this. I mean I'm sure that
they will tell you if I'm not, or like, they'll
fix it, we'll make this right. But like, okay, So
on The Bachelor, say you like get into a fight
with someone and then you walk away, there's a producer
chasing after you, being like, oh my gosh, that girl
was such a like she was so in the wrong
(13:09):
you you didn't do anything, like you know she does,
serves for you to yell at her again.
Speaker 4 (13:13):
Blah blah.
Speaker 5 (13:14):
You have someone validating you, comforting you, and also like
milking you in an interview after it and being there
for you. On this show, you get into if I
was someone no production, nobody comes up to you, nobody
does anything. We do it completely differently, Like the interview's
completely different. Just an hour a day, thirty minutes for
(13:34):
half of us, thirty minutes for they'll half get all
our interviews done and that was it. And then the
rest of the time there's no production.
Speaker 2 (13:41):
There's no producer.
Speaker 5 (13:41):
Even the room they're hiding, they're like in the other
rooms in the mansion.
Speaker 4 (13:46):
All watching us.
Speaker 5 (13:47):
They're like hiding behind a curtain or something like they're there.
They'll come out to explain the games and stuff to you,
but there's no like I need a producer to talk like.
I mean, you can talk to them absolutely, but not
like the way that like you can't talk to them
about the game and stuff like it's not the zero
producer involvement.
Speaker 6 (14:05):
Zero.
Speaker 5 (14:06):
Like like when I would get into something with someone
or I would feel upset, like I would, I would
go to the bathtub. I would just go to the
bathtub because I could be alone in there and I
could be regulating in a warm body of water and
I could just relax. Or even sometimes when it was empty,
I would sit in there because I could just get
away from everyone. But because there's there is no you know,
(14:27):
I had to fix it myself. And I can't bring
down these other cast mates with me because I I
you know, they're Susan's too busy having fun. So I
gotta I gotta figure this out myself, which normally I
could have figured it out with the producer and felt
better because the producer's baby so much on The Bachelor.
Let me tell you, Oh I miss it. They babied
me so much, like ugh, I mean, and they still.
Speaker 4 (14:49):
Like got to get out.
Speaker 5 (14:50):
You still feel like luxury, like you're still baby to
an extent. It's just not like you know, The Bachelor's
just it's the greatest.
Speaker 2 (14:59):
Some we I've talked about kind of as The Bachelor
takes this new leap and I don't want to get
into it too much, but they take this too new
leap into this whole new season of different production and
different team members. You know, the concept of less production
kind of that less influence. Did you feel like it
was helpful for the story arc of the show to
(15:20):
have less kind of producer involvement or do you think
having more kind of micro management production every day was
something that's better for the show.
Speaker 4 (15:31):
I think that it's not a clear answer. I think
maybe like a little bit of both. Its true.
Speaker 5 (15:36):
I think that it would be like our show, if
you took all the footage and looked at it, you
would be able to prove like you don't need producer
involvement because these people are going to do it themselves.
They're going to find a way because there was I mean,
this show could have been a villainous show, like we
all were yelling at each other.
Speaker 4 (15:53):
I mean, we're all acting in saying at.
Speaker 5 (15:54):
Some point, so we're you know, this is a lot
of money and we're all not getting along. But it
came out like with all of our best, funniest moments,
which help us all feel happy about the you know,
experience and like love each other more, et cetera. But
I do think that there was times where, I mean,
there were times where Omrosa was orchestrating, she was producing
(16:15):
stuff like doodles and Athena's date. That's because Omrosa is
a pro and she knows that to make a television
sometimes you need to produce some things. So she's like,
why don't we set up a date for you guys, Like,
let's have a date. So when you have the veterans
or whatever, the reality TV veterans, we know how it works,
(16:35):
and we'll make our own moments. We'll make we'll produce
our own things, essentially because we want airtime. And if
you have a brain and you watch reality TV, you
can see like what's going to get you airtime? Especially
if you reflect on your past seasons or past whatever.
Speaker 2 (16:49):
Let's dive into the show a little bit. Got to
get out again. UH is on Hulu. Every episode is there.
It premiered April eleventh. You went into this thing and
you said at the beginning, I said, why did you
do it? And you like, I need the money. I
want the money. I guess it was what you said.
Did you think you could win this when you walked
(17:10):
into that house?
Speaker 3 (17:11):
Uh?
Speaker 5 (17:12):
I mean like no, Like I always just think no,
like there's not a chance. But I'm like, maybe I
there always could be a chance. So yeah, I But
I also I like to I set the bar as
low as possible. I expect the worst because then anything
else is better. So every time I go into a situation,
I expect the worst out of it. Like I'm gonna
(17:34):
no one's gonna want to work with me, and I'm
going to be isolated.
Speaker 4 (17:37):
I'm expecting.
Speaker 5 (17:38):
So when that happens, because it does happen to me,
I'm okay, because it's like I already knew that this
would happen. So I'm not like having a mental breakdown.
Speaker 4 (17:46):
Or blah blah blah.
Speaker 5 (17:46):
I'm just like, well, I under it makes sense. I
don't have any excess strategies. Why would they want to
work with me?
Speaker 2 (18:03):
You're the type of person. Also, though you have low
expectations for your own performance, I also would assume though
from getting to know you a little bit, you don't
have a lot of expectations for others in terms of
negative expectations for them. You're not a judgmental person. And
so when you walked in the house you see the
(18:25):
cast members, especially the ones you recognized. Who surprised you
the most when the final day happened on who you
like the best outside of Susan and Omerosa, because you've
already mentioned them and you love them and they're great,
Well put them on a pedestal. We knew they would
be there. Who else kind of surprised you the most
for how you got along with them and how you
(18:47):
kind of function with them in the house.
Speaker 5 (18:50):
Well like a spoiler alert, I mean, she leaves early.
Cynthia leaves early. But when Cynthia was there, me and
Cynthia Bailey, I had a great relationship with her because
she was always watching the button and the button was
right outside my bedroom, so I was constantly just talking
to her and I gave her a little bear too
that I made for her. So I really got along
(19:12):
with her, and I really she was a very like
calmbing presence for me in the house too. She was
everyone else is acting insane and she's being normal in
a human being and is awesome. And also they're someone
who was a reality TV rookie. Shane he's the MMA fighter.
(19:36):
I really really like that guy. I think he's with
a girl, Lindsay from the show. They're still together now
and they're wonderful. I love them both. I love them both.
Speaker 2 (19:45):
Did they come on to the show together.
Speaker 5 (19:47):
No, I know, they like actually real life romance. I know,
I know, and so I think that I really like them.
I just think Shane is just a great guy, and
I think Lindsay's I mean, she's super model, she's perfect,
and she's Miss Earth. She's wonderful. They're great, you know, celebrities.
Vow you know, I love I love Val. Val vows
(20:10):
like family to me now in a weird way. We
all kind of are family in a weird way. But
like I grew very close to Val.
Speaker 2 (20:17):
Was there anybody who didn't like.
Speaker 4 (20:18):
Yeah, but I am. We're not supposed to talk bad
about our cast mates.
Speaker 5 (20:23):
Oh I'm not a huge I'm not a listen, Okay,
Spencer Pratt America's sweetheart.
Speaker 6 (20:29):
All right?
Speaker 2 (20:30):
Is that what we call him?
Speaker 4 (20:31):
That's what he is now.
Speaker 5 (20:32):
He's America's sweetheart right now, and he's in and he
deserves every good thing.
Speaker 4 (20:36):
Coming to him right now.
Speaker 5 (20:38):
Heidi stunning icon legend. But me, me and Spencer, we
don't get along too well for too long.
Speaker 2 (20:45):
I don't think that's saying anything bad about your cast mates.
I just think it's saying, hey, you two aren't seeing
eye to eye. Who knows who's right and wrong? You
just aren't, you know, making it work. And that's okay.
That's life.
Speaker 5 (20:58):
That's why I say all the time, it's okay, it's
okay not to like people. Like if you watch the show,
you'll see at one point he's in my hiding in
my room and I say not my room, not in
my room, because he was hiding in there as I
was talking about him, and then I found him in there,
and I'm like, you've.
Speaker 4 (21:14):
Got to be getting me.
Speaker 2 (21:15):
Yeah, that's good. See, this is why people need to
watch this show. These moments.
Speaker 5 (21:20):
There's so many moments unbelievably funny, unbelievably funny, and like,
oh my gosh.
Speaker 4 (21:25):
A lot of the time it's Susan. It's Susan.
Speaker 2 (21:27):
She's just kind of a clown. She's just always is
making people laugh, bringing the joy. She still to this day.
I've probably hung out with Susan ten times. I don't
think I've ever stayed up later than her. I think
she consistently parties harder than anybody else every time.
Speaker 5 (21:45):
Wow, he couldn't party in the house if she was
out early every night.
Speaker 4 (21:49):
It was a dry house.
Speaker 1 (21:51):
Really.
Speaker 5 (21:52):
Yeah, it worked out well for me because you know,
I don't drink anymore. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (21:56):
I was gonna say that's for some that's like kind
of like the way to calm down end of the day.
Speaker 5 (22:01):
Yeah, I mean I know that some people wanted it,
and it's like sometimes you know, I thought maybe it
was kind of necessary for reality TV, but no, this show,
I'm it's just proof that you don't you don't need
the producers, you don't need the alcohol, and you just
need to lock people up in a house together. And
also like no eliminations, so like you're not forced to leave,
(22:21):
like you're not like worried about getting.
Speaker 4 (22:23):
Cut, you know what I mean.
Speaker 5 (22:24):
Yeah, so like everyone's acting up because they don't care
if you like them or not.
Speaker 2 (22:29):
Yeah, the themselves, like there is no alliances really even
need to be built right.
Speaker 5 (22:34):
Or they're built quickly because you got to figure out
like if somebody if you have an exit strategy, somebody
else has an exit strategy, but not everyone does, so
like you're bestie that your partner might not have one, so.
Speaker 4 (22:43):
You need to team up with somebody else, so you
normally wouldn't.
Speaker 2 (22:45):
Work with it's well even how like describe the energy
in the house then, like without any alcohol, without any eliminations,
with rookies and all stars in a mansion, what was
the energy like in the house kind of if you
can from day one and then when you finally left,
like did that energy change at all?
Speaker 5 (23:06):
Yes, So day one, it was very excited, like especially
like these rookies, they're so pumped to be on DV.
Speaker 4 (23:13):
You know, they're like the cameras, the mics. Everyone's so excited.
Speaker 5 (23:17):
That probably lasted for a couple of days until someone
escaped with a spoiler alert, And when that happened, everybody
locked in and like for a few days it was
terror in the house, Like everyone was on edge, mad, fighting,
(23:37):
pissed off because I think that someone escaped is what happened.
And also there I guess there was like a Rockstar
energy drink sponsorship because you got all these Rockstar energy drinks.
These people are going nuts. Susan's doing cartwheels. She drank
this rock Star and she's doing cart wheels. People are screaming,
I didn't drink one because I'm like, I know that's
not going to be good for me.
Speaker 4 (23:56):
I've already got anxiety.
Speaker 5 (23:58):
And so once everyone stopped drinking rock Stars and everyone's
stopped being mad, like the towards the end, they start
doing more stuff to the house, like boarding up the
windows and stuff like that, and the money is getting higher.
So it's everyone is so intense, like everyone's running around constantly.
Speaker 4 (24:17):
I mean, this is I'm not kidding you.
Speaker 5 (24:19):
At least every five minutes, you hear where's Rashad?
Speaker 4 (24:22):
Where's Rashod?
Speaker 5 (24:24):
Because Rashad's the fastest one, and so everyone thinks ver
Shad's gonna escape, So like every five minutes, everyone's gotta
find eyes on the shot who sees we're shod? And
Ie got eyes on a shod, where's he at? And
we're literally like this like this Franci running around just
following each other like people, we hadn't talked to you
the whole time, hardly, I'm following them shamelessly everywhere they
go to make sure they're not escaping.
Speaker 4 (24:46):
Like it was crazy defense.
Speaker 6 (24:48):
It was.
Speaker 5 (24:48):
We were all freaking out the whole time. Like there
was not a second of relaxing that day.
Speaker 4 (24:54):
It was. It was fun though, like.
Speaker 5 (24:56):
We were all anytime we would be get the button
on someone, We're like screaming at the top of our lungs.
Speaker 4 (25:00):
Like it was. It was great.
Speaker 2 (25:02):
I mean, how do you have any privacy then? If
that's the kind of energy that's existing, Say you got
to go to the bathroom and you want to take
a good ten minutes to relax, were there people looking
for you?
Speaker 6 (25:11):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (25:11):
There's actually a point on the show where Spencer's like, Demmy,
because I'm in the bathroom. He's like, Dimmy, can you
come watch the button? And I'm like, I'm in the
bath sorry that it Actually it doesn't show it on
the show, but like in the house that I was
a huge, huge suspicion and everyone thought that I was
doing something, especially this one night no one could find me.
(25:33):
And after this night, like people just were so suspicious
of me. The whole time I was in the bathtub,
like that was where I was and no one ever checked.
And like anytime after that, like say I would go
to the bathroom and I'd be gone for a little
too long.
Speaker 6 (25:47):
I'm pooping, yeah, and.
Speaker 4 (25:48):
Then I come back and everyone's like, oh my god,
there you are. Oh my god, we thought you were good.
Speaker 2 (25:53):
Look like it was the for me.
Speaker 5 (25:57):
I've never had an exit strategy this whole Okay, I'm
not the one to worry about, not me, but it
would it worked out if I did have one.
Speaker 2 (26:07):
Yeah, I mean okay, So as we close up here,
Got to Get Out is a show that you're encouraging
everybody watch that. You're saying, it's a fun energy, it's
a funny show. It's lighthearted there, drama is not the focus.
Speaker 5 (26:19):
There is still some drama though, Like there is actually
like this really juicy relationship drama in there that like
I didn't even know how bad it was, like how
like crazy they got like, oh my gosh, So that
was that was very interesting. That was tea. That was
that was tea for me to see.
Speaker 2 (26:36):
That's fun to see. That's fun. When you're on reality television.
You're like, I'm getting to witness something in person that
people are gonna love to watch back when it airs.
Oh Demmy, what a good person to have on this show.
I cannot think of a better all star than Demmy
coming on Got to Get It Out or Got to
Get Out? Demmy? If they ask you again, so I
(26:59):
was a marker for the show, and how you feel
about it if they ask you again to come back,
if they're doing a second season, they're like, hey, let's
bring back some actual veterans from this show. Would you
say yes?
Speaker 4 (27:12):
Absolutely? Yeah.
Speaker 5 (27:13):
I think that it's it was wonderful, The people are wonderful,
that the production team's wonderful.
Speaker 4 (27:20):
It's fun.
Speaker 5 (27:21):
I still love doing reality TV, even if it's like
I'm uncomfortable doing it because my gasmates I'm scared of them,
But like, I still love that I don't have any
responsibilities except for whatever I'm supposed to be doing on
that show. And I love the process. I love being
miked up on it. It's just like the whole process
of it. I'm so in awe of at all and
I love it. I think that I would always say
(27:42):
yes to like most reality shows.
Speaker 2 (27:45):

Speaker 2 (00:05):
It's Almost Famous podcast, and we are here today to
talk about a new show on Hulu with some of
Bachelor Nation's favorites. It's a list of people that will
just make your heart smile. The show is called Got
to Get Out. Fans got to know and love Susan Knowles,
Demi Burnett, and Claire Crawley on our beloved Bachelor Nation
(00:28):
shows over the years, from starring on the very first
seasons of The Golden Bachelor, to being the Bachelorette, to
making Bachelor and Paradise history. These ladies are no stranger
to the reality television stage, and now they're back on
our screens and Hulu's new reality TV competition show, Got
to Get Out. The show premiered on Friday, April eleventh.
(00:52):
According to Deadline, the series pits reality TV royals against
Reality TV rookies who live under one roof and fight
for chance to win one million.
Speaker 3 (01:03):
One million dollars guys and Demi, Claire and Susan are
amongst like Like Ben said, Like TV Royalty, Reality TV
royalty Spencer Pratt Valve from Dancing with the Stars Kim
Zolziak and all Morosa. They're all competing together for this
million dollar prize. On the show. Everyone has a chance
(01:25):
to either stay together in the house and split the
money equally at the end, or try to escape at
any point and then keep all the prize money for themselves.
That is going to leave everybody back at the house
with nothing. However, the longer they're in the house together,
the greater the prize money becomes. There's a clock and
there's a button, and you can keep watching the money
(01:49):
go up higher and higher.
Speaker 2 (01:50):
The show's out now. All episodes of Got to Get
Out are now streaming on Hulu, so you gotta go
stream them. It is, as we said, reality television, along
with some reality TV rookies. Got to Get Out premiered
April eleventh on Hulu. It's streaming now. Then, we have
one of the stars with us today, Demmy, Welcome back
(02:13):
to Almost Famous.
Speaker 4 (02:15):
Hi, thanks for having me.
Speaker 2 (02:18):
The show is wild. I just we just read through
what this show is about. How in the world did
you say us to it?
Speaker 4 (02:25):
I wanted money? Yeah, and also.
Speaker 5 (02:31):
You should never turn down the opportunity to be on television.
Speaker 2 (02:35):
I mean, we just had you on I don't know
how many months ago. It's been. Time flies when we're
having so much fun here. But back then you were
kind of talking about how you did desire to be
back on television, but you you know, you also spoke
about kind of your journey personally. So when they approached
you about coming on this show, did you have any hesitations?
Speaker 5 (03:00):
Like I think that before like I do anything, that
my first initial reaction is always no, I don't want to,
Like I don't know, like that sounds scary, or like
I would just much rather stay in my safe place
at home and like with my animals and like my
cozy little haven that I've built, And no matter how
(03:22):
great it is, like, my first initial reaction is I
don't want to. But then of course it's like, well,
this is what we want, this is what we love doing,
this is what we need to do also.
Speaker 4 (03:34):
And so.
Speaker 5 (03:36):
Then it's like I tell I can tell like my
close people about it, so they get excited for me,
so then I can start to feel more excited. But yeah,
I mean it's always like I'm scared, but I'm gonna
do it anyway.
Speaker 2 (03:50):
The animals mean so much to you, Where do they
go during the process of filming.
Speaker 5 (03:54):
I actually have someone who stays here, and she's known
my dog since he was a puppies, So I just
have her stay in my apartment.
Speaker 2 (04:02):
That's feel good.
Speaker 5 (04:04):
Oh yeah, it feels good knowing there in safe pans.
Speaker 1 (04:06):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (04:06):
Well, to me, this show sounds wild, it sounds exciting.
It obviously premiered April eleventh, and we're here to talk
about it today. For anybody that is just saving up
to watch this, to binge it, to do whatever they
do on Hulu while they tune in, can you give
them kind of a teaser to what this show is
(04:28):
all about?
Speaker 5 (04:29):
Yeah, I mean I think that it's it's stupidly silly,
like it's it's stupid funny. It's so funny. I mean,
I can't believe how funny it is. I didn't know
what to expect, but it's it's it's a wonderful show.
Speaker 4 (04:43):
It's so good.
Speaker 5 (04:43):
Everyone that watches it loves it. You can expect like
some cliffhangers, like intense moments, but luckily for the cliffhanger,
you get to binge it, so you don't have to
wait a week. You can just watch the next episode.
It's it's uh it's good, it's funny, it's I love it.
Speaker 4 (05:03):
I don't know, I think it's so good.
Speaker 2 (05:05):
Have you I mean you've gone through and watched everything
at this point, right, Yes, yes, I have. Yeah, there's
a lot to this kind of new world of reality
television stars coming back on reality television, the veterans, the
all stars as that category I would throw you into.
But then also this show has the rookies, the ones
(05:26):
that have never been a part of reality television. Was
that a different dynamic? Did you kind of? Could you?
Since the skill sets the comfortability?
Speaker 5 (05:36):
Well?
Speaker 6 (05:37):
Yes.
Speaker 5 (05:38):
Also what's the most interesting part to me is that
most of the rookies, they're focus in the beginning, like,
is that they want to stay the whole show. So
they're like, oh, I don't even want to try to
seal the money yet, because you know, we've only been
here two days and there's ten days, Like I want
to make it as long as possible because they want
to be on a show. And I'm like, get me
(05:59):
out if you're right now, Like the second that thing's
out one hundred thousand dollars.
Speaker 4 (06:03):
I'm like, I want to go. I want to go,
I want to go.
Speaker 5 (06:06):
So yeah, that's an interesting dynamic of like trying to
get people to take these clues seriously. Whenever they're still
like they want to be on TV, which is I
get it. I'm sure I would feel that way too.
I did feel that way. But yeah, it's cute.
Speaker 2 (06:21):
Yeah, they want to be on TV. This is their moment,
and for you, you're like, I've had my moments.
Speaker 5 (06:25):
Yes, yes, they're like, this is my moment, and I'm like,
this is not network television.
Speaker 6 (06:31):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (06:43):
There's so much to this that kind of is intrigued
to me. One is this all star cast that they
put together. We mentioned the contestants from Bachelor Nation. We
obviously know you best from Bachelor in Paradise and your
time on the Bachelor, along with Susan Knowles and Claire,
but then also you have the Spencer Pratts and the
Omerosa's and all these others that are kind of coming
(07:04):
on the show. When you walked into the house, I'm
assuming you didn't know who the other cast members are
gonna be until you met them or saw them when
you first showed up. What was your reaction like when
you noticed some familiar faces.
Speaker 5 (07:20):
When I saw Omerosa, I remember I ran and hid
under the pool table out of like excitement and like,
oh my gosh, I'm so scared to like meet her,
like you know.
Speaker 4 (07:30):
I want her to like me.
Speaker 5 (07:32):
But yeah, so that was really exciting. I didn't ever
watch The Hills. I wasn't allowed to watch that growing up,
so like I didn't know Spencer Pratt was, but it
was cool to learn about who they were, Like as
I'm on the show and like kind of I don't know,
hear their stories, get to know them.
Speaker 4 (07:49):
It was great.
Speaker 5 (07:50):
Like me and Omerosa became such good friends and like
I never in a million years would like a dream
of saying that. You know, like she's one of the
biggest reality TV icons ever and you know she calls
me all the time now and like I crocheted her
a little cute little teddy bear, like you know, so
I really I'm so glad that I got to see
(08:11):
them and see them in their element. Also, Susan my mother,
like literally the best we She was my safety blanket
in there for sure.
Speaker 4 (08:22):
She took care of me.
Speaker 5 (08:23):
She made sure that I ate because I need that
because like especially when I'm like around a bunch of
so many people and I'm so anxious like I'm so
scared to do anything, and like I will just not
even realize that I didn't eat because I was just
scared the whole time. And so like she'll make me
a plate, or like make a plate big enough for
both of us so I could eat with her. Stuff
like that. It's like so big for me. I don't
(08:44):
even know what your question was. I'm just rambling.
Speaker 2 (08:46):
No, you answered it perfectly, and it actually leads me
to do a question I never thought about asking. But
I'm super curious for you personally. I feel like I remember,
and I could this could just be a dream that
I had. I don't know. I feel like I remember
you saying during our time on Almost Famous, when we
interviewed you about your life and your victories and your
(09:10):
struggles and just kind of catching up on everything that
had happened to you since your time on The Bachelor,
that you had mentioned that you felt like most comfortable
when you're on a TV show, that like you felt
this different level of purpose or comfort or whatever you
want to describe it when the cameras are around.
Speaker 5 (09:29):
It's it's so I feel that way still when I
do stuff for the Bachelor, like when it's my turf,
not when I'm with reality TV star legends who might
be like annoyed by my behavior, who don't necessarily encourage
all the demisms. Whereas when I'm filming for DEMI and
(09:50):
everyone's pro Demi, That's when I'm feel the most comfortable,
best time of my life. But I do not feel
the most comfortable when I'm competing with other people for
airtime or just personality wise. No, that that for me
is hard. It's hard for me to exist as myself
because I'm like, I don't know what's gonna get what
reaction from the person, and like I don't I don't
(10:11):
want to be yelled at. I hate being like yelled
at or scolded like that just makes me fired up,
so stuff like that.
Speaker 4 (10:17):
But yeah, I do love I love it when I'm.
Speaker 5 (10:20):
Praised when I'm in front of the camera, but not
when other people don't like my antics. And it's even
when I was on The Bachelor, they would silently not
like them. You know, I didn't know that they didn't
like them, but on this show I knew.
Speaker 2 (10:38):
Yeah, I mean, And it had to help then to
have Susan there, somebody that is such a comforting person
who lets.
Speaker 5 (10:44):
Me be myself and who isn't judging me because like
I mean, I get it some I won't. Like I
got really stressed out halfway through and I had to
start carrying around my emotional support bunny that I just
needed him with me because I'd wearing my loop earplugs
because I need to hear people whisper.
Speaker 4 (11:00):
I was just very.
Speaker 5 (11:01):
Anxious anyway, Like Susan and Omrosa just supported the hell
out of me, and that bunny, like Oma Rossa was
bringing me carrots for my bunny. Can you imagine, like
this villain, this reality TV villain, and she's playing with
me and my bunny because she knows that it makes
me happy and she knows like I'm I'm kind of
maybe sitting by myself or something like she's taking care
(11:22):
of me. So yeah, I could be myself with Omrosa
and with Susan. But you know, and the show is
totally not about drama at all, so you don't see
any of this drama. The show is very lighthearted and
very positive, and I think it's a great thing because
it'll encourage, you know, if there's another season, people will
want to go on it because they.
Speaker 4 (11:40):
Weren't worried about getting canceled.
Speaker 5 (11:42):
Yeah, because let me tell you, we all did some
very canceled little things in that house at one point
or another.
Speaker 2 (11:48):
That's amazing. I mean that that is a place too.
That environment does bring a level of comfort. So you
just kind of mention it. But comparing this exp well,
first off, let me ask, have you done it any
other spinoff shows like reality television shows post Bachelor World
that I'm like not thinking of.
Speaker 5 (12:06):
No, not ones where I went and like stayed and
uh like stayed the stuff. No, I did like Celebrity
Dating Game and then I hosted Bachelor stuff.
Speaker 4 (12:15):
But no, no, I don't think so, I hope not.
Speaker 2 (12:18):
So you were like a rookie in a lot of
ways too to the kind of this New World did.
Speaker 4 (12:21):
Do wwe But that's completely different. That was completely Yeah.
Speaker 2 (12:25):
No, this is like a different environment. You're staying there,
there's a whole new goal in mind, there's a new
group of people, and so you're in a sense of
rookie walking into this not knowing how you're going to
react or what to expect. So if for listeners out
there and future viewers of Got to get out, how
was the filming process different than The Bachelor for you.
Speaker 5 (12:48):
So different because I mean, I don't know if I'm
allowed to talk about this. I mean I'm sure that
they will tell you if I'm not, or like, they'll
fix it, we'll make this right. But like, okay, So
on The Bachelor, say you like get into a fight
with someone and then you walk away, there's a producer
chasing after you, being like, oh my gosh, that girl
was such a like she was so in the wrong
(13:09):
you you didn't do anything, like you know she does,
serves for you to yell at her again.
Speaker 4 (13:13):
Blah blah.
Speaker 5 (13:14):
You have someone validating you, comforting you, and also like
milking you in an interview after it and being there
for you. On this show, you get into if I
was someone no production, nobody comes up to you, nobody
does anything. We do it completely differently, Like the interview's
completely different. Just an hour a day, thirty minutes for
(13:34):
half of us, thirty minutes for they'll half get all
our interviews done and that was it. And then the
rest of the time there's no production.
Speaker 2 (13:41):
There's no producer.
Speaker 5 (13:41):
Even the room they're hiding, they're like in the other
rooms in the mansion.
Speaker 4 (13:46):
All watching us.
Speaker 5 (13:47):
They're like hiding behind a curtain or something like they're there.
They'll come out to explain the games and stuff to you,
but there's no like I need a producer to talk like.
I mean, you can talk to them absolutely, but not
like the way that like you can't talk to them
about the game and stuff like it's not the zero
producer involvement.
Speaker 6 (14:05):
Zero.
Speaker 5 (14:06):
Like like when I would get into something with someone
or I would feel upset, like I would, I would
go to the bathtub. I would just go to the
bathtub because I could be alone in there and I
could be regulating in a warm body of water and
I could just relax. Or even sometimes when it was empty,
I would sit in there because I could just get
away from everyone. But because there's there is no you know,
(14:27):
I had to fix it myself. And I can't bring
down these other cast mates with me because I I
you know, they're Susan's too busy having fun. So I
gotta I gotta figure this out myself, which normally I
could have figured it out with the producer and felt
better because the producer's baby so much on The Bachelor.
Let me tell you, Oh I miss it. They babied
me so much, like ugh, I mean, and they still.
Speaker 4 (14:49):
Like got to get out.
Speaker 5 (14:50):
You still feel like luxury, like you're still baby to
an extent. It's just not like you know, The Bachelor's
just it's the greatest.
Speaker 2 (14:59):
Some we I've talked about kind of as The Bachelor
takes this new leap and I don't want to get
into it too much, but they take this too new
leap into this whole new season of different production and
different team members. You know, the concept of less production
kind of that less influence. Did you feel like it
was helpful for the story arc of the show to
(15:20):
have less kind of producer involvement or do you think
having more kind of micro management production every day was
something that's better for the show.
Speaker 4 (15:31):
I think that it's not a clear answer. I think
maybe like a little bit of both. Its true.
Speaker 5 (15:36):
I think that it would be like our show, if
you took all the footage and looked at it, you
would be able to prove like you don't need producer
involvement because these people are going to do it themselves.
They're going to find a way because there was I mean,
this show could have been a villainous show, like we
all were yelling at each other.
Speaker 4 (15:53):
I mean, we're all acting in saying at.
Speaker 5 (15:54):
Some point, so we're you know, this is a lot
of money and we're all not getting along. But it
came out like with all of our best, funniest moments,
which help us all feel happy about the you know,
experience and like love each other more, et cetera. But
I do think that there was times where, I mean,
there were times where Omrosa was orchestrating, she was producing
(16:15):
stuff like doodles and Athena's date. That's because Omrosa is
a pro and she knows that to make a television
sometimes you need to produce some things. So she's like,
why don't we set up a date for you guys, Like,
let's have a date. So when you have the veterans
or whatever, the reality TV veterans, we know how it works,
(16:35):
and we'll make our own moments. We'll make we'll produce
our own things, essentially because we want airtime. And if
you have a brain and you watch reality TV, you
can see like what's going to get you airtime? Especially
if you reflect on your past seasons or past whatever.
Speaker 2 (16:49):
Let's dive into the show a little bit. Got to
get out again. UH is on Hulu. Every episode is there.
It premiered April eleventh. You went into this thing and
you said at the beginning, I said, why did you
do it? And you like, I need the money. I
want the money. I guess it was what you said.
Did you think you could win this when you walked
(17:10):
into that house?
Speaker 3 (17:11):
Uh?
Speaker 5 (17:12):
I mean like no, Like I always just think no,
like there's not a chance. But I'm like, maybe I
there always could be a chance. So yeah, I But
I also I like to I set the bar as
low as possible. I expect the worst because then anything
else is better. So every time I go into a situation,
I expect the worst out of it. Like I'm gonna
(17:34):
no one's gonna want to work with me, and I'm
going to be isolated.
Speaker 4 (17:37):
I'm expecting.
Speaker 5 (17:38):
So when that happens, because it does happen to me,
I'm okay, because it's like I already knew that this
would happen. So I'm not like having a mental breakdown.
Speaker 4 (17:46):
Or blah blah blah.
Speaker 5 (17:46):
I'm just like, well, I under it makes sense. I
don't have any excess strategies. Why would they want to
work with me?
Speaker 2 (18:03):
You're the type of person. Also, though you have low
expectations for your own performance, I also would assume though
from getting to know you a little bit, you don't
have a lot of expectations for others in terms of
negative expectations for them. You're not a judgmental person. And
so when you walked in the house you see the
(18:25):
cast members, especially the ones you recognized. Who surprised you
the most when the final day happened on who you
like the best outside of Susan and Omerosa, because you've
already mentioned them and you love them and they're great,
Well put them on a pedestal. We knew they would
be there. Who else kind of surprised you the most
for how you got along with them and how you
(18:47):
kind of function with them in the house.
Speaker 5 (18:50):
Well like a spoiler alert, I mean, she leaves early.
Cynthia leaves early. But when Cynthia was there, me and
Cynthia Bailey, I had a great relationship with her because
she was always watching the button and the button was
right outside my bedroom, so I was constantly just talking
to her and I gave her a little bear too
that I made for her. So I really got along
(19:12):
with her, and I really she was a very like
calmbing presence for me in the house too. She was
everyone else is acting insane and she's being normal in
a human being and is awesome. And also they're someone
who was a reality TV rookie. Shane he's the MMA fighter.
(19:36):
I really really like that guy. I think he's with
a girl, Lindsay from the show. They're still together now
and they're wonderful. I love them both. I love them both.
Speaker 2 (19:45):
Did they come on to the show together.
Speaker 5 (19:47):
No, I know, they like actually real life romance. I know,
I know, and so I think that I really like them.
I just think Shane is just a great guy, and
I think Lindsay's I mean, she's super model, she's perfect,
and she's Miss Earth. She's wonderful. They're great, you know, celebrities.
Vow you know, I love I love Val. Val vows
(20:10):
like family to me now in a weird way. We
all kind of are family in a weird way. But
like I grew very close to Val.
Speaker 2 (20:17):
Was there anybody who didn't like.
Speaker 4 (20:18):
Yeah, but I am. We're not supposed to talk bad
about our cast mates.
Speaker 5 (20:23):
Oh I'm not a huge I'm not a listen, Okay,
Spencer Pratt America's sweetheart.
Speaker 6 (20:29):
All right?
Speaker 2 (20:30):
Is that what we call him?
Speaker 4 (20:31):
That's what he is now.
Speaker 5 (20:32):
He's America's sweetheart right now, and he's in and he
deserves every good thing.
Speaker 4 (20:36):
Coming to him right now.
Speaker 5 (20:38):
Heidi stunning icon legend. But me, me and Spencer, we
don't get along too well for too long.
Speaker 2 (20:45):
I don't think that's saying anything bad about your cast mates.
I just think it's saying, hey, you two aren't seeing
eye to eye. Who knows who's right and wrong? You
just aren't, you know, making it work. And that's okay.
That's life.
Speaker 5 (20:58):
That's why I say all the time, it's okay, it's
okay not to like people. Like if you watch the show,
you'll see at one point he's in my hiding in
my room and I say not my room, not in
my room, because he was hiding in there as I
was talking about him, and then I found him in there,
and I'm like, you've.
Speaker 4 (21:14):
Got to be getting me.
Speaker 2 (21:15):
Yeah, that's good. See, this is why people need to
watch this show. These moments.
Speaker 5 (21:20):
There's so many moments unbelievably funny, unbelievably funny, and like,
oh my gosh.
Speaker 4 (21:25):
A lot of the time it's Susan. It's Susan.
Speaker 2 (21:27):
She's just kind of a clown. She's just always is
making people laugh, bringing the joy. She still to this day.
I've probably hung out with Susan ten times. I don't
think I've ever stayed up later than her. I think
she consistently parties harder than anybody else every time.
Speaker 5 (21:45):
Wow, he couldn't party in the house if she was
out early every night.
Speaker 4 (21:49):
It was a dry house.
Speaker 1 (21:51):
Really.
Speaker 5 (21:52):
Yeah, it worked out well for me because you know,
I don't drink anymore. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (21:56):
I was gonna say that's for some that's like kind
of like the way to calm down end of the day.
Speaker 5 (22:01):
Yeah, I mean I know that some people wanted it,
and it's like sometimes you know, I thought maybe it
was kind of necessary for reality TV, but no, this show,
I'm it's just proof that you don't you don't need
the producers, you don't need the alcohol, and you just
need to lock people up in a house together. And
also like no eliminations, so like you're not forced to leave,
(22:21):
like you're not like worried about getting.
Speaker 4 (22:23):
Cut, you know what I mean.
Speaker 5 (22:24):
Yeah, so like everyone's acting up because they don't care
if you like them or not.
Speaker 2 (22:29):
Yeah, the themselves, like there is no alliances really even
need to be built right.
Speaker 5 (22:34):
Or they're built quickly because you got to figure out
like if somebody if you have an exit strategy, somebody
else has an exit strategy, but not everyone does, so
like you're bestie that your partner might not have one, so.
Speaker 4 (22:43):
You need to team up with somebody else, so you
normally wouldn't.
Speaker 2 (22:45):
Work with it's well even how like describe the energy
in the house then, like without any alcohol, without any eliminations,
with rookies and all stars in a mansion, what was
the energy like in the house kind of if you
can from day one and then when you finally left,
like did that energy change at all?
Speaker 5 (23:06):
Yes, So day one, it was very excited, like especially
like these rookies, they're so pumped to be on DV.
Speaker 4 (23:13):
You know, they're like the cameras, the mics. Everyone's so excited.
Speaker 5 (23:17):
That probably lasted for a couple of days until someone
escaped with a spoiler alert, And when that happened, everybody
locked in and like for a few days it was
terror in the house, Like everyone was on edge, mad, fighting,
(23:37):
pissed off because I think that someone escaped is what happened.
And also there I guess there was like a Rockstar
energy drink sponsorship because you got all these Rockstar energy drinks.
These people are going nuts. Susan's doing cartwheels. She drank
this rock Star and she's doing cart wheels. People are screaming,
I didn't drink one because I'm like, I know that's
not going to be good for me.
Speaker 4 (23:56):
I've already got anxiety.
Speaker 5 (23:58):
And so once everyone stopped drinking rock Stars and everyone's
stopped being mad, like the towards the end, they start
doing more stuff to the house, like boarding up the
windows and stuff like that, and the money is getting higher.
So it's everyone is so intense, like everyone's running around constantly.
Speaker 4 (24:17):
I mean, this is I'm not kidding you.
Speaker 5 (24:19):
At least every five minutes, you hear where's Rashad?
Speaker 4 (24:22):
Where's Rashod?
Speaker 5 (24:24):
Because Rashad's the fastest one, and so everyone thinks ver
Shad's gonna escape, So like every five minutes, everyone's gotta
find eyes on the shot who sees we're shod? And
Ie got eyes on a shod, where's he at? And
we're literally like this like this Franci running around just
following each other like people, we hadn't talked to you
the whole time, hardly, I'm following them shamelessly everywhere they
go to make sure they're not escaping.
Speaker 4 (24:46):
Like it was crazy defense.
Speaker 6 (24:48):
It was.
Speaker 5 (24:48):
We were all freaking out the whole time. Like there
was not a second of relaxing that day.
Speaker 4 (24:54):
It was. It was fun though, like.
Speaker 5 (24:56):
We were all anytime we would be get the button
on someone, We're like screaming at the top of our lungs.
Speaker 4 (25:00):
Like it was. It was great.
Speaker 2 (25:02):
I mean, how do you have any privacy then? If
that's the kind of energy that's existing, Say you got
to go to the bathroom and you want to take
a good ten minutes to relax, were there people looking
for you?
Speaker 6 (25:11):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (25:11):
There's actually a point on the show where Spencer's like, Demmy,
because I'm in the bathroom. He's like, Dimmy, can you
come watch the button? And I'm like, I'm in the
bath sorry that it Actually it doesn't show it on
the show, but like in the house that I was
a huge, huge suspicion and everyone thought that I was
doing something, especially this one night no one could find me.
(25:33):
And after this night, like people just were so suspicious
of me. The whole time I was in the bathtub,
like that was where I was and no one ever checked.
And like anytime after that, like say I would go
to the bathroom and I'd be gone for a little
too long.
Speaker 6 (25:47):
I'm pooping, yeah, and.
Speaker 4 (25:48):
Then I come back and everyone's like, oh my god,
there you are. Oh my god, we thought you were good.
Speaker 2 (25:53):
Look like it was the for me.
Speaker 5 (25:57):
I've never had an exit strategy this whole Okay, I'm
not the one to worry about, not me, but it
would it worked out if I did have one.
Speaker 2 (26:07):
Yeah, I mean okay, So as we close up here,
Got to Get Out is a show that you're encouraging
everybody watch that. You're saying, it's a fun energy, it's
a funny show. It's lighthearted there, drama is not the focus.
Speaker 5 (26:19):
There is still some drama though, Like there is actually
like this really juicy relationship drama in there that like
I didn't even know how bad it was, like how
like crazy they got like, oh my gosh, So that
was that was very interesting. That was tea. That was
that was tea for me to see.
Speaker 2 (26:36):
That's fun to see. That's fun. When you're on reality television.
You're like, I'm getting to witness something in person that
people are gonna love to watch back when it airs.
Oh Demmy, what a good person to have on this show.
I cannot think of a better all star than Demmy
coming on Got to Get It Out or Got to
Get Out? Demmy? If they ask you again, so I
(26:59):
was a marker for the show, and how you feel
about it if they ask you again to come back,
if they're doing a second season, they're like, hey, let's
bring back some actual veterans from this show. Would you
say yes?
Speaker 4 (27:12):
Absolutely? Yeah.
Speaker 5 (27:13):
I think that it's it was wonderful, The people are wonderful,
that the production team's wonderful.
Speaker 4 (27:20):
It's fun.
Speaker 5 (27:21):
I still love doing reality TV, even if it's like
I'm uncomfortable doing it because my gasmates I'm scared of them,
But like, I still love that I don't have any
responsibilities except for whatever I'm supposed to be doing on
that show. And I love the process. I love being
miked up on it. It's just like the whole process
of it. I'm so in awe of at all and
