like if I get banished, Like, what's my speech?
Speaker 1 (00:45):
What do I say?
Speaker 5 (00:45):
Well, when you're sitting in the hot seat, because you
know what you know when you're going. I think I
knew when I knew I was going, I got murdered.
Speaker 3 (00:52):
And I knew I was murdered. Oh you did, yeah,
because there's a certain room in that cat.
Speaker 1 (00:56):
You have to go in it.
Speaker 3 (00:57):
You have to go in it. I know when they
called me, they're like, hey, tammracame like, I turn around

So you did like a yeah, a jam jam.
Speaker 5 (01:08):
As you were leaving, But there was no cameras on
no shoot. Yeah, oh well you know it, and you
start to think, oh my god, I gotta think O
your speech.
Speaker 1 (01:16):
Your sex speech.
Speaker 5 (01:17):
So as I'm sitting there, I'm thinking, Okay, what am
I going to say?
Speaker 1 (01:20):
What am I going to say? And then you just
come up with it.
Speaker 4 (01:23):
And were you annoyed at anyone at this point?
Speaker 2 (01:26):
Well?
Speaker 1 (01:27):
I was annoyed with Rob.
Speaker 5 (01:28):
Yeah, yeah, I was for sure annoyed with Rob because
it doesn't seem.
Speaker 2 (01:31):
Like you guys ever give Rob the business. When you
guys are in the turret.
Speaker 1 (01:35):
We were Kumbaya team trader.
Speaker 5 (01:37):
Yeah, you know, we were a family trader and he.
Speaker 3 (01:40):
Was out to like murder all of you.
Speaker 1 (01:42):
Guys, so we didn't know it.
Speaker 3 (01:44):
Yeah, that's get you banished, I should say, that's when.
Speaker 5 (01:46):
You just are like, I mean, I was more disappointed
than anything, because you know, everyone is just so crazy
about him.
Speaker 3 (01:52):
Well, historically you're supposed to stick together as traders. They
want you to stick together until the very towards the
very end they cut throat normally, like they try to
stick together and then going to be the way. But
Rob was playing, He's playing for himself.
Speaker 5 (02:04):
Well, and such a great game. I mean I can't.
I can't be mad about it because.
Speaker 4 (02:09):
He's because he's hot.
Speaker 1 (02:10):
Well that too, that doesn't hurt.
Speaker 5 (02:12):
But he's doing what you're supposed to do as a trader,
that's the thing.
Speaker 1 (02:15):
But what do you.
Speaker 2 (02:16):
Think makes him so good at it that he's just chill,
laid back like you.
Speaker 1 (02:20):
Think it was him?
Speaker 5 (02:22):
He's a game player, which of course I am not,
so I think all of it.
Speaker 3 (02:27):
But he's very calculated, very very calculated, Like not the
kind of calculation you're.
Speaker 2 (02:31):
Playing to be good looking. I mean, not many people
can pull off what are overalls with nothing like with
snakes everywhere. I mean, the first time could pull off
I can't pull off. You know, back in the day.
He could have pulled that off the very first night.
You know, when you get there and you see everybody
(02:52):
for the first time. I noticed Rob right out.
Speaker 5 (02:54):
Of the gate because I kind of knew of everyone
else there, but I'd never seen him before, and he
was very aloof and he was sitting back just watching
everyone and I and I clocked it and I thought,
I need to go and find.
Speaker 1 (03:07):
Out what he's about.
Speaker 5 (03:08):
Yeah, you know, he kind of say, has Harry energy
where he sits back and watches and he's.
Speaker 3 (03:12):
Quiet, mysterious.
Speaker 1 (03:13):
Yeah, and so I.
Speaker 5 (03:14):
Went right up and started, you know, asking him questions
and you know, being silly Lisorna with him, and so
I felt like I had a connection with.
Speaker 1 (03:20):
Him right out of the gate. Yeah. But yeah, he
played a great game. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (03:25):
I think I was shocking that they had two housewives
be Traders.
Speaker 5 (03:28):
Yeah, That's why I screamed so loud when Candace, when
you know, when we take our hoods off, I couldn't
believe it.
Speaker 4 (03:33):
I couldn't believe.
Speaker 3 (03:34):
I would have loved to see all like three hosts
of it. That'd be because nobody's gonna say like, oh
they have three in there. They're like maybe one, like
they always they kind of balance it out, But no,
they had two.
Speaker 1 (03:44):
It was so great. I was like yeah, yeah, yeh yeah.
Speaker 5 (03:46):
And you know, Candas and I sort of had a
similar leaving of the shows and Bravo and kind of
what happened to us. Yeah, and so I had this
instant kind of connection to her because I know that
she'd gone through something, you know, very sim me.
Speaker 1 (04:00):
So I was instantly like.
Speaker 3 (04:02):
Candace, Yeah, when you approach ban Traders, was there like
any hesitation whatsoever. You're like, let's do this.
Speaker 5 (04:07):
Oh no, I've said no a couple of times, and
I was like, you know, let me watch it.
Speaker 1 (04:11):
And so then I watched it and I loved it.
Speaker 4 (04:13):
What season did you watch?
Speaker 5 (04:14):
I watched your season and two and then three. Yeah,
And then I said, you know, I like to watch
it more than I think I want to do it.
And so I really didn't give them an answer until
se September February. Yeah, I really thought about it. I
asked everybody. And you know who convinced me to do it.
Our little neighbor down the street, Cindy Bodko. Oh yeah Ko,
(04:37):
who's Robin Fujimoto's daughter. She is the hugest Traders fan.
And I said, can I come down and you just
tell me, like if I should do it and why
I should do it, And so I did. I had
a glass of wine and she said, Lisa, it's the
game Mafia. And I was like, I play Mafia in
Canada all the time. She goes, you'd be so great
at it, and she literally talked to me, but it's.
Speaker 3 (04:58):
A huge commitment. You could be up, you could be
in Scotland for thirty days. You don't really have your phone,
you have no file.
Speaker 1 (05:06):
You take it, they take it away.
Speaker 3 (05:07):
It's like being in jail.
Speaker 5 (05:08):
It's like jail slash Swedish rehab. That's what I've decided,
because literally, I think the phone was great. I loved
them taking the family. Yet taking my pills was a problem.
Speaker 1 (05:19):
Yeah, I'm not like that.
Speaker 5 (05:21):
I mean, if you get sick in that castle, you
are locked.
Speaker 2 (05:25):
It was how cold is it in that castle? Because
a lot of people are barely wearing any clothes.
Speaker 1 (05:30):
I didn't notice it.
Speaker 3 (05:31):
It was cold. Anytime I was there. I was like,
I don't remember, but it was cold.
Speaker 4 (05:37):
Yeah, it was cold. Did you think you were going
to be selected as a trader.
Speaker 5 (05:40):
I mean I didn't know. You know, it's always a
fifty to fifty thing. I wanted to be a trader.
I thought, if I'm going to do this, I better
get the most camera time I can Otherwise, you know what,
what's the point. So I did tell Alan that I
wanted to be a trader. But as he walks around,
you know, he walks around, like seven times, he walks
and walks away, and you're just sitting there with your blindfold.
Your heart is pounding out of your chest, and then.
Speaker 3 (06:01):
When he walks by and is and tap me on
the shoulder, You're.
Speaker 5 (06:03):
Like, oh yeah, and you're just kind of like okay.
And so I thought for sure I was going to
be a faithful because seven times around, I'm like, I'm not.
Speaker 3 (06:11):
Would you have played the game different if you were
a faithful?
Speaker 1 (06:14):
Probably?
Speaker 3 (06:14):
Yeah, I think you have to.
Speaker 5 (06:16):
I don't know, because I wasn't a faithful.
Speaker 1 (06:19):
I was a trader. But maybe I don't know. It's hard.
I mean, I had no strategy.
Speaker 5 (06:24):
I went in thinking, if I can just wear that
dress for the banquet because I knew we knew that
there was a banquet somewhere down the line.
Speaker 1 (06:32):
That's all I wanted.
Speaker 3 (06:33):
Now did they did they supply you with those outfits.
Speaker 5 (06:35):
Or did you have to you know, they sent like
a memo of you know this is coming up.
Speaker 3 (06:41):
You have to pay a mood board.
Speaker 5 (06:42):
Yeah, mood board all eleven outfits, you have to do
them all. And then we found this dress because I
love this designer Eric Charlotte, and I thought, oh my.
Speaker 1 (06:50):
God, this is perfect. It was perfect, so I got
to wear it.
Speaker 3 (06:54):
You were the best dress.
Speaker 1 (06:55):
Thank you. It was fun.
Speaker 4 (06:56):
Who were you closest.
Speaker 5 (06:57):
With I really got close with everybody. It's so weird
because you know, I certainly don't get along with everybody
like on Housewives, right, So I was really surprised at how.
Speaker 1 (07:08):
I really got along with everybody.
Speaker 5 (07:11):
But that was part of my strategy if I had
any was to just get to know everyone and get
everyone to try to like me, you know, And I
loved everyone. I mean I ended up being really close
to Marra, Tara, Candace, I mean, rob Ron, Mark, Stephen, everybody.
Speaker 3 (07:28):
Johnny, are you shocked that Mars still on the show.
Speaker 5 (07:32):
I'm not because you say a lot the quiet ones
go the furthest I've always said.
Speaker 1 (07:36):
That they go the first.
Speaker 3 (07:38):
Then the show gets boring.
Speaker 1 (07:39):
I know, but that's how you win.
Speaker 3 (07:41):
But now that the Bravo people are gone, it's kind
of like.
Speaker 2 (07:45):
Also, the guy that got brought in by Rob, he's Eric.
He's not doing anything.
Speaker 3 (07:51):
I kind of love him.
Speaker 5 (07:52):
I love Eric, but it's that he come on. I
was like, Eric, you changed so instantly when you became
a trader. You shut your mouth and how I'm so nervous.
Speaker 3 (08:15):
Is there anybody you absolutely couldn't stand on the show.
Speaker 4 (08:18):
No, there has to have been someone.
Speaker 1 (08:20):
No one right. I mean Colton and I were nemesis definitely.
Speaker 4 (08:25):
Yeah, but it was fun to play with.
Speaker 1 (08:27):
I mean, he pissed me off, and you know he
was like on me too, but you know what, but
it's a game.
Speaker 5 (08:34):
So that's what always saved me. I'm like, it's a
games game.
Speaker 1 (08:37):
It's a game.
Speaker 3 (08:38):
I loved more than anything. When you looked at Carolyn
and you go go back to Dubai, how great was that?
Oh my god, I'm like, oh my god, that was good.
Speaker 5 (08:47):
I knew exactly what I was doing. I put my
soap had on for that. I obviously we knew.
Speaker 3 (08:51):
We What exactly did you say to her?
Speaker 1 (08:53):
I said.
Speaker 5 (08:55):
Bye bye, Caroline, back to DUBAIU go, and then she go, uh,
First she says rendy, you bitch, and then I say
bye bye Caroline, back to DUBAIU go. And then she goes, well,
I guess I'll see you at Bravo Con and I go, no,
you will, won't.
Speaker 1 (09:12):
That's right, that's right. I thought they'd cut it.
Speaker 5 (09:15):
I didn't think it'd air it, and I'm so happy
they did because I really did put my soapat on
for that.
Speaker 1 (09:19):
I knew exactly what I was doing. Oh it was
great fun.
Speaker 3 (09:22):
It was great fun.
Speaker 1 (09:23):
It is to kill a housewife?
Speaker 3 (09:24):
Yeah, you joy it?
Speaker 1 (09:27):
Oh god, I loved every second of it.
Speaker 3 (09:30):
Who do you think should go on Traders Next Housewives?
Speaker 5 (09:36):
I think Eric would be great. Talked about it, I
said Eric would be great. I haven't really thought about it.
I think Luanne would be funny, you know, just because
Luanne is such a character.
Speaker 3 (09:48):
Who do you think I think that definitely Luanne. I
think Erica. I think Sonya would be funny. Definitely not
Jill's Erin.
Speaker 2 (09:59):
I have to say, I don't feel like you guys
eat that much while you're there, because everybody's always looking
for the salmon.
Speaker 3 (10:05):
Baked beans. We had baked beans, lots of baked beans.
Speaker 1 (10:09):
We had no baked beans. Oh you did it.
Speaker 3 (10:10):
Oh we had baked beans everything.
Speaker 1 (10:11):
No, here's the problem.
Speaker 5 (10:12):
There's not enough protein, and everyone is dying for protein
to keep yourself going.
Speaker 4 (10:17):
Except for Rob. He's just popping down those eggs.
Speaker 5 (10:20):
That's protein. So we just getting the eggs or those
little shots. There's a little shot, and I would always
have to say, because you don't want to get sick,
so you're like shooting these ginger shots. There's just never
enough protein, so I don't eat salmon. You know, I
don't like fish, so all I could do is eat
the damn hard boiled eggs in the morning.
Speaker 2 (10:40):
So what would you say in closing? Okay, your favorite
part of doing the show?
Speaker 1 (10:45):
Oh, I loved it so much.
Speaker 5 (10:47):
I think just having a reset in that world and
meeting these people that I really got to connect to
in a way that I would never have met them
probably out in the world in real life. It was
so joyous, and I think because it was a game,
I treated it as a game and it was fun.
I had so much fun. So that is what I
(11:09):
take away from it.
Speaker 3 (11:10):
And you were able to put some of your acting
skills into it as well, Right, Well, I guess maybe
I mean that scene with Carolyn like I'm like, whoa, Okay,
it was so fun. Yeah, it was really really I
felt like you could play a little bit.
Speaker 5 (11:23):
It was hard to those drama I loved it.
Speaker 3 (11:26):
It was a lot.
Speaker 1 (11:27):
I just had so much fun.
Speaker 5 (11:28):
It was so good for me, I think to do
another kind of reality based series and enjoy it and
have a great experience.
Speaker 1 (11:35):
I needed that.
Speaker 4 (11:36):
Yeah, because we need you on more reality shows.
Speaker 3 (11:38):
Well, what about just acting in general.
Speaker 1 (11:41):
I want to act.
Speaker 3 (11:41):
Yeah, I mean a show that you want to be on?
Speaker 1 (11:44):
My god, there's so many.
Speaker 5 (11:45):
I mean, you know, White Lotus Dream would be amazing.
Anything Ryan Murphy does. Like, there's so many shows that
I would love to do. I mean, I'm for hire.
Speaker 1 (11:55):
So call me.
Speaker 3 (11:57):
We need to see you on land Man. Have do
you watched that?
Speaker 1 (12:00):
I would love to? I'd love to.
Speaker 5 (12:02):
I've got another really great character in me. I know,
I do like a real battie. I do like a cuckoo, like.
Speaker 2 (12:09):
A Moiro, like a malrose Place, like a Moira Rose.
Speaker 5 (12:13):
Yes, like I have it in me, ready to go
so cool me.
Speaker 3 (12:17):
I think of Ali on l Have you seen Yeah,
she does such a good part. I could see you
doing great.
Speaker 1 (12:23):
So I'm ready. I have another one.
Speaker 4 (12:26):
I mean, I'm there, I'm ready to has more than
nine lives, So make sure you call it.
Speaker 1 (12:29):
Yeah, as do you, my friend? As do you?
Speaker 3 (12:44):
Who do you think Rob should have picked if it
wasn't Eric.
Speaker 1 (12:48):
I think Eric was actually a good choice.
Speaker 5 (12:50):
I think Mark would have been an interesting choice he
was gonna pick again.
Speaker 2 (12:54):
It's quiet too, because he seems like on his Instagram
he seems very outgoing, so outgoing and.
Speaker 5 (13:00):
If you watch him on Dancing with Stars, I mean
he's he's really in it, and you know, you find
out these things. I've known Mark, you know, for a
long time because of Dancing with the Stars. But he's
a real gamer lover. So he's watched every episode of
like you know, survivor Big Brother, like he knows.
Speaker 1 (13:17):
Those games, which of course I do not. I say, I'm.
Speaker 3 (13:21):
Just I didn't even know what the fuck I was
doing when I was there.
Speaker 1 (13:23):
I didn't either.
Speaker 4 (13:24):
Why did you give her all your rocks to Steven?
Speaker 5 (13:28):
Because I did not want to give them to Colton
or Rob. And they don't say that, but yeah, the
more you gave to the guys that like Colton or Rob,
the chances are of them winning.
Speaker 1 (13:39):
And I was like mad at Colton.
Speaker 5 (13:41):
Rob had already voted for me the night before, and
I was like, who can I give my rocks to
other than those boys? And that's why Stephen said, can
I have your your rock, your rocks, your gold?
Speaker 2 (13:52):
And I was like, sure, who are you more mad
at Colton or Rob?
Speaker 1 (13:59):
Colton?
Speaker 5 (14:00):
Colton's my nemesis, Colton Colton, you know Rob again, he
played a great game. So there's part of me that
just cannot be mad at him.
Speaker 1 (14:10):
I can't.
Speaker 3 (14:11):
No, you can't. With Rob and I. We don't know
who won yet, But I if I was a betting person,
I would say Rob's probably going to win.
Speaker 1 (14:18):
I don't know.
Speaker 3 (14:20):
I probably know.
Speaker 1 (14:21):
I don't know, Like, I don't think he's going to win.
Speaker 4 (14:24):
I don't think that he thinks.
Speaker 3 (14:26):
He's a faithful he like plays both sides so well.
I would not want to date him.
Speaker 2 (14:31):
Well, well, that's the kind of guy you don't want
to playing games his entire life.
Speaker 4 (14:34):
I don't think he solely means my chest.
Speaker 3 (14:37):
He's a Yeah, he's a player.
Speaker 5 (14:38):
I get a call, I literally get a call from
Delilah the first night it airs. She goes, Mom, I
want Rob, and I go no, now now.
Speaker 1 (14:50):
I told him that at the reunion. He's funny.
Speaker 5 (14:53):
I was like, No, she likes those Love Islanders's dated.
Speaker 3 (14:57):
Maybe she should be on the show.
Speaker 4 (14:58):
Maybe she should date my brother, who I want to
be on the island.
Speaker 1 (15:03):
I can't. I can't intermix this.
Speaker 3 (15:05):
I can't do it.
Speaker 1 (15:05):
We can't do it, Teddy. We got to keep it separate.
We just can't. Now, we can't.
Speaker 3 (15:10):
Guys, we're talking about Colton right now, there was some
stuff that went on online. You guys were kind of
hashing out online.
Speaker 5 (15:17):
You know, he wanted a housewife camera and I put
my housewife hat on for him.
Speaker 3 (15:21):
It was a good move, and you did it within seconds.
Speaker 2 (15:24):
It was like you went from like the Lisa Renna
that I go general to then all of a sudden
like the one who was asking me about like my
placenta pills, wanting to fight with me.
Speaker 1 (15:35):
It happened so fast for me, it's so ingrained in me.
It's same with you. I know you can just.
Speaker 3 (15:39):
Press a button yeah, and you're like yeah, boom, and
it's just you poke me, and I'm going to poke
you back twice as hard aswear to god, it's a talent.
Speaker 1 (15:46):
I can't help it. It is a talent and I
can't help it.
Speaker 5 (15:49):
And listen, I'm self aware enough to know do I
press this button or not?
Speaker 3 (15:54):
See, I'm not, but I press it.
Speaker 1 (15:57):
See, but I choose to press it in the end,
but I do question it. I go, Okay, will this
cause havoc? Yeah? Probably? Should I do it?
Speaker 5 (16:06):
Well maybe not, but I'm going to, but I'm going to,
And then I press it.
Speaker 1 (16:09):
That's what I do. But that's what I do, so
you can relate.
Speaker 2 (16:11):
So what happened with Colton because I've seen things online,
like clearly he had already been mad.
Speaker 4 (16:17):
At Michael Rappaport for something.
Speaker 1 (16:18):
Yeah, they're the ones that fought in the castle.
Speaker 4 (16:20):
Nobody seemed to be tipsy the entire time.
Speaker 5 (16:23):
No one's tipsy because you don't get enough alcohol.
Speaker 3 (16:26):
Now, I think before you go into the round table,
she was completely sober.
Speaker 1 (16:31):
I know, right, I mean, it's the truth.
Speaker 5 (16:34):
You're like, Dorenda is fine, there's nothing in this bottle.
Speaker 1 (16:38):
I love you, Dorinda.
Speaker 3 (16:39):
Michael Rapaport at the round table had made a comment
to Colton, and social media went crazy.
Speaker 1 (16:47):
It was a rough moment. In the moment, I will say.
Speaker 2 (16:50):
I think he made that comment on purpose. Yeah, I
don't think he did. I don't think it was like
how you didn't know. I knew Michael Rapaport, knew exactly
what he was saying, and knew exactly what was going
to push Colton's buttons.
Speaker 3 (17:06):
I agree, Yeah, I agree.
Speaker 5 (17:08):
I think I don't believe that Michael rap Report is homophobias. No,
I don't believe that. I do think though that the
question and the way he the way he It wasn't
a question, but the way he said it. I understand
what he was saying, but it was completely inappropriate to.
Speaker 3 (17:27):
Say that, right, and that's the perfect way to say.
Speaker 5 (17:29):
And it really flipped everybody out because obviously we were
sitting there with gay people and people that have gay relatives,
and you know, it really set the entire group off.
So Colton got a lot of sympathy in that moment.
Colton was probably going to go in that moment and
that that changed it.
Speaker 4 (17:47):
Did do you?
Speaker 2 (17:49):
Did you kind of create a bond with anybody that
leads you past the traders like that, you would continue
being friends with that.
Speaker 5 (17:57):
