Listen, we're gonna explain howthat happened too.
And uh last but not least, youare a father that most people
might not know.
So, unpacking a lot of stuff,hearing from you firsthand.
(03:24):
Uh first of all, let's startwith this temptation island.
Let's go.
What do you want to know?
Uh let's let's let's start fromthe top, all right.
First of all, there might not bepeople who there might be people
who have never seen it.
Basically, it's a show, as youknow.
You go on with your partner, andyou maybe your relationship's
(03:44):
been tested or wherever itstands, and you're going on this
island to basically be tempted.
So, what made you want to go onthis island to be tempted?
Nothing made me want to.
There was a point I reachedwhere I was like, I guess we
can.
And that that point was uh well,it's actually such a crazy
(04:05):
story.
I'll try and wrap it up in uh afew seconds though.
Basically, in the beginning ofour relationship, she went out
to Vegas with a bunch of dudesor whatever.
I thought it was something kindof crazy.
Every time I FaceTimed her,these guys were answering with
their arms around her, and I'mlike, all right, this girl isn't
serious.
I took that as justification, Iguess, and a girl was reaching
(04:28):
out to me at the same time.
So I went out and I cheated onAshley.
Ashley was her name, right?
Um, hold up.
That's it.
I've seen that.
I don't know your name job, butyeah.
Well, I mean, everyone knows hername if they watch the show.
Anyway, anyways, I wasn't askingfor confirmation for
confirmation.
That was her name, by the way.
(04:48):
Uh, anyways, yeah, I I justifiedit and I I cheated on her.
I won her back, and then for ayear and a half, it was just
terrible.
She resented me, she neverforgave me.
Uh, we broke up four differenttimes over that year and a half.
We get to a year and a half, andone of her ex-friendly friends
uh reached out and was like,Hey, I'm a casting director for
(05:09):
the show, you guys would beperfect for it.
Hell no.
No, there's no way I'm doing aguy, yeah, okay.
Oh, the same guy from uh Vegas.
One of the guys from Vegas.
Oh, yeah, yeah.
Just her friend, right?
Uh, anyways, yeah.
So uh he reached out, uh, weended up going on it.
She kind of convinced me becauseshe kept kind of pushing, well,
(05:29):
you know, if we make it, we'llbe on a Netflix show and we'll
be together.
If we don't, we'll be on aNetflix show.
That's cool.
We were already kind of at aspot where we're at a
crossroads.
Like, no couple in a in anactual good relationship goes on
a show like that.
Yes, that's right.
Right, like would you ever bringyour ever bring your girlfriend
together?
No way, no, no way.
No, of course not.
Like that would that sound andshe already resents me for
(05:51):
cheating on her.
Why would I go live in a housewith 12 single girls trying to
get me to cheat on you?
I'm trying to hear the reasonhow you end up there.
Well, that's that's kind of howwe just kind of said, you know
what, whatever.
This sounds kind of cool.
Two weeks later we were there.
Like we like didn't we didn'tapply for it, we didn't go
through months of interviews,everything happened like almost
right away.
Oh two weeks later we werethere.
(06:11):
Because you had the connectionwith the casting director I I
don't I think they just saw thatwe were the perfect fit.
Oh which we were.
You had a roll from the jump.
Yeah, oh oh they knew mystoryline before I did.
I thought I was gonna go there,dude.
We literally had a fuckingparty.
Dude, we literally had a partywith a cake on it that said X
(06:32):
temptation, like no temptation,like you're not gonna be
tempted.
I thought I was like, you knowwhat?
I got this.
I got this.
I want to be with this girl.
There's no way I'm gonna betempted.
I'm gonna see these girls, I'mgonna be just fine.
That's what I thought.
So, spoiler alert.
Um it wasn't.
You you you cheated, you werethe first one to cheat.
Yes.
I think so.
I mean, I don't know whathappened in Vegas, confirmed,
(06:53):
but I'm pretty sure confirmed.
He was the first one to be a bigchance.
Okay, bro.
All right, maybe so.
Quickly.
Did not hesitate.
Yo, please okay.
Yes, it was in within the firstmonth of dating.
Well, I shouldn't have.
But put that out there.
I don't condone cheating, by theway.
No, no, no, we don't condonethat.
We're just we're just we're it'sout there already, so we're
(07:14):
talking about it.
Um, so being on the island, likewhat was your thought thought
process?
Like, did you want to rekindleit, or were you just like, you
know what?
I'm surrounded by all thesepeople, all these beautiful
women, I'm here now.
It is what it is.
Yeah, I mean, I wanted to makeit to the end.
I wanted to be able to trustthat we'd be together for a long
time.
Like, I have a seven-year-olddaughter, I'm looking for
(07:35):
someone that could be a goodstepmother, a a wife to me, have
that soft love for me and mydaughter.
So the whole time for me was amiserable experience.
That now the edit didn't reallyshow that, but it was miserable
for me.
Like the first whole week and ahalf, I was just crying every
day.
Like it was, oh, Grant's cryingagain.
Like, dude, I was miserable.
I was really trying to figureout like off camera.
No, on camera, they just didn'tput it in.
(07:57):
Oh of course, dude.
I was doing hours of interviewsevery single day.
I was pouring my heart.
I didn't know that I was gonnabe the villain.
Can you guys believe that?
But like the whole year leadingup to the the come out of the
show, I was like, no, I'm fine.
I was vulnerable, I was open, Iwas like completely myself.
Like I wore my heart on mysleeve.
Like, I'm more vulnerable thanany of these other guys.
(08:19):
There's no way.
Like America's gonna understand.
I was like, America's gonnaunderstand.
They didn't.
And why would you?
I saw the edit, I was like, ohdamn.
Like, this isn't good.
So, how did you see everythingafter?
Like, you you said you didn'tsee the full thing, so did you
just see clips and I watched upto the third episode and you
couldn't the third episode?
I was like, All right, I knowwhat kind of edit I'm getting.
(08:40):
This isn't good.
This this isn't good for me.
Yeah, I I don't need to watchanymore.
This is not how this happened inthis order, and like, where's
all this?
Where's me talking about this?
If if the if people would see mesay this, they'd understand, but
no, they took it all out.
Did you learn did you learnanything about your even in the
villain edits?
Um, obviously a lot of peoplethat don't know you personally,
(09:01):
they don't know the real you,and they don't know you know
certain situations.
Was there anything that youlearned from those, I guess,
villain edits you could say thatyou're like, okay, I wish I
wouldn't have done this or saidthis, or I wish I could have
worded this differently.
When you say the villain edits,what do you mean?
Like, did I learn anything bywatching the show?
Correct.
Like how they didn't they didn'tpaint you in the best light.
(09:22):
Like you said you were crying,but maybe they didn't put that
in.
The only thing I I learned aboutwatching the show was that the
storyline matters more, notnecessarily the truth.
Like the clicks and the dramaand instilling emotion in the
audience matters more than whatactually happened, right?
Which makes sense.
It's TV.
Like, what can you expect?
Right.
Unfortunately, I expectedsomething different.
(09:43):
So I I learned that.
Uh like the experience in total,like, did I learn anything doing
that?
No, not during.
Like, I I was I was so lost, Iwas so miserable, I was so
confused.
Like, I wouldn't wish thatconfusion on anyone.
Like, that was the worst part ofit was not knowing what to do.
Like, do I stick it out?
Do I stay with this girl?
(10:03):
Do I open myself up to anothergirl, someone that might have
everything that I'm looking for?
And then you have producers inyour ear 24-7.
We're filming a TV show.
Let's go, let's go, let's go,let's have some action.
Come on.
Grant, your girl's dogging onyou.
Grant, your girl's just doggingon the other side.
Like, what are you doing?
Come on, bro.
You have this girl right here.
Let's go.
So how long are you there?
I was there for like 25 days, 30days, something like that.
(10:25):
Okay.
No, no phone, no technology.
You don't know what time of dayit is.
You don't know what day it is.
You're in this beautiful place,but it's like you're being
trapped in paradise.
Like, I I remember sitting therejust looking at the water, being
like, I wish I could get in it.
But you can't because there'srules.
And what one day I finally brokeand I just like dove off the
rock.
I was like, I'm free.
Finally.
And then I got in trouble.
(10:45):
And I'm like, kick me off?
Kick me off because I went for aswim.
Come on.
So a lot of people who go on TVlike that, they say it's a
one-time thing, but theywouldn't do it again.
Like, do you feel the same way?
I'd do it again.
You do it again?
I'll do it again.
Oh, yeah.
He yeah, he go for this.
The same show?
I would do the same.
I would do the exact same thing.
I would like be in the samesituation.
Wait, sorry.
Oh, you're good.
(11:06):
You're good.
If I was in the exact samesituation with Ashley, I would
have gone on the show.
What I wouldn't have done wouldhave been getting physical with
Natalie.
I would have waited until theend.
I would have broke up withAshley at the final bonfire,
walked away with my dignity, andthen dated Natalie.
That's what I would have done.
So I would still go on the show.
I would just do it waydifferently.
(11:28):
But that's hard because that'snot something you plan to do.
So and you said within two weeksyou were on there, so you're
kind of just going with thepunches.
By day three, it felt like aweek.
By a week, it felt like twoweeks.
By the third week, it felt likeI had been there forever, and
like my life was because youguys have a bedtime and wake up
time, right?
We don't have a bedtime, butlike, yeah, like they would shut
the lights off, like cameraswould kind of go away.
(11:48):
You're kind of expected to go tobed.
Like you weren't supposed to behaving conversations off mic,
make sense.
Like, yeah, it was it it wasn'treal life.
That like that's the main thingI want to get across.
Not real life.
So when I got off the show, Ikind of felt like I was in an
insane science experiment.
Like nothing made sense.
Like, was that real?
Like, did that just happen?
Are you saying reality TV is notreal?
(12:09):
Bro.
Take it, take it from me.
Believe me.
Believe me.
It's not.
What was the most tempting partabout the whole show?
The most tempting part?
Natalie.
The girl I ended up gettingwith.
You say she dated her off theshow, right?
I dated her after the show.
Okay, so I heard the story, butI want to hear it from you about
(12:33):
the whole process, how you datedher.
And then you know what I'mtalking about.
Okay, say it then.
Let me confirm.
So just from what I read, youdated Natalie.
You're speaking for the peopleright now, right?
I'm just going by whatever Iread.
Whatever the genus is.
This is your chance to speak onit.
Okay.
So came in the show with Ashley,then ended up dating Natalie,
(12:56):
cheated on Natalie, got backwith Ashley, cheated on Ashley.
That's what you read?
Stop me if I'm wrong.
I mean you're you're you'rewrong on the last part.
Okay, the last part.
I went into Temptation Islandwith Ashley.
Okay.
I left alone, but then got withNatalie.
Correct, correct.
I started dating Natalie and Icheated on Natalie back with
(13:18):
Ashley in person.
It was just a kiss.
And I told Natalie right away.
I already I felt like crap aboutit.
I was like, damn Natalie's areally good idea.
How did that come out?
How did it come out?
Like how did people find outthat you cheated or I mean I
I've I've been pretty open andhonest about what happened after
the show about me dating Natalieand me cheating on Natalie with
Ashley.
I but I like I said I toldNatalie right away.
(13:40):
I didn't expect her to forgiveme.
I mean she's a badass and shewas super sweet.
I felt terrible.
But I ended up starting to dateAshley for the next six months.
Okay.
And no, I didn't cheat on Ashleyagain.
Okay.
Alright.
See, listen, I'm that's whywe're talking to the source.
I'm just the middleman.
So, okay, so when you and Ashleygot together for the six months,
(14:02):
is that the six months where youfelt like you were putting in
work and you were putting ineffort and then it wasn't being
reciprocated?
Absolutely.
I mean speak on that a littlebit.
For those six months after theshow, after Natalie, yeah, I
mean I gave her my all, I mean,I I bought a ring, I was gonna
propose to her, like it was itwas pretty serious.
(14:22):
Um it didn't work out, but itwasn't my fault, it wasn't
necessarily her fault.
She couldn't get herself to f toforgive.
And some people struggle withthat.
Like forgiving is a hard thingthat we have to kind of practice
doing.
She was out of practice.
Right.
So what would you say you'relooking for now?
(14:44):
Right now, yeah.
I'm still looking for the samething, man.
I'm looking for my wife, I'mlooking for a partner for life.
My parents are still together.
I have a seven-year-olddaughter, like I'm not trying to
date just to date.
Like, if I'm going to datesomeone, I want to see myself
actually having a real valuablefuture.
I don't want a transactionalrelationship, I want
transformational relationships.
Okay.
Right?
Like, there's there's no pointin having the service level yes.
(15:06):
Right.
So where would your ideal placebe?
What do you mean?
To like meet your your partner.
Because obviously, a lot harderif you're meeting your partner
in front of the world.
I I don't have an ideal place tomeet my partner.
I I don't really care aboutwhere it's at.
Does it happen or doesn't it?
Okay.
I I I want more kids one day, soit matters more to me like who
(15:28):
she is and what her values areand how we get along.
I don't know.
Okay.
Like, are we aligned?
Was there anyone on the showthat outside of Natalie that
caught your attention as well?
Or that was I guess you couldsay tempting you as well.
That if you were like Nataliewasn't there, I'm definitely
beeling for this person.
Yeah, uh, I would say Olivia S.
(15:50):
Okay.
Okay, and then did you explorethat at all after the show or
you left it alone?
I mean like after Natalie, afterAshley, after the show came out,
yeah.
Like I tried, I tried a littlebit, but like I didn't like try
it that hard.
It wasn't I I think she was donewith it though.
She wasn't really interested.
So what's the reason, not justwith you, but just in general,
(16:11):
like what's the reason you thinkpeople who like go on these
shows still mess with the samepeople in the same bubble?
Uh I mean there's a there's arelationship there somewhat.
It's like, why do you hit up agirl that you met five years ago
that you just like if if you ranthrough your options, whatever?
Like, you know how it is.
(16:32):
We're all guys, like we we getinto those moments where like
you start to watch it.
Well, I always thought she washot.
Let me hit her out.
Let me try.
Like, whatever.
You know how it goes.
No, it's just always funny tosee because with any show,
Temptation, I love Love Island,Love is Blind Anything, like how
months after the show there'salways two people like
(16:53):
rekindling and reconnecting, andit's like, damn, out of all the
people.
You went back to the person youwere on the show with.
But yeah, well that shouldn'thave happened.
I like my it sound it soundscrazy, but like my biggest
regret actually is seeing Ashleyand kissing her like I did.
(17:14):
Like I shouldn't have done thatthat day.
I should have like gone home.
I should have called Natalie,like and been fine.
But I was but I was and it wastaken accountability.
So I was in it, I was in a crazysituation.
It was a science experiment of aa month-long situation, and I
wasn't over Ashley.
Like I didn't understand why anddid I didn't well didn't
(17:36):
understand why, and it soundscrazy.
It ended because I chose to endit by getting with Natalie,
right?
Like I I I I had sex with a girlin a shower knowing that my
girlfriend was gonna watch medoing that.
Okay, like I knew I knew whatwas.
That was pretty wild.
It's not like I didn't know myjaw dropped.
My jaw dropped.
Not gonna lie, my jaw dropped.
(17:56):
That's and the fact that it waslike it was like like I said, I
said off camera.
Um, a girl put me on to theshow, so I didn't even like plan
to watch it.
I'm just watching it going withthe storyline.
Right.
And then that's the first thingI see.
I'm like, oh, this man is wild.
So you just you just answered aquestion for me.
So just so the people know,sorry.
(18:17):
Um so obviously you know you'reon camera, you know the camera,
there's cameras everywhere.
You know, going into the showerthat you're still being
recorded, correct?
Yeah, bro.
And you and you know that thatyour conversations are still
being like recorded.
Yes.
So you just so okay, all right.
(18:37):
Listen, it was a it was aconscious decision.
Like I I knew exactly what I wasdoing.
But but for me, it was it waslike a turning point.
One, it's not like I could justthey had a a temptation island
in Spain where uh well MontoyaMontoya no Montoya no what was
her name that he was runningafter?
I forgot the name.
(19:00):
Anyways, it it wasn't like that.
Like the other villa was an houraway.
I couldn't just run down thebeach and break up with my
girlfriend if I wanted to.
I was clearly I was clearlytold, like, no, you have no
communication with her.
You are single as of right nowon this show.
It's your choice to choose.
Like, are you gonna stay withthe girl that you've been
chasing for a year and a halfthat still hates you, or are you
gonna move on and exploresomething new?
(19:22):
And I decided at that time Ididn't want to be with Ashley
anymore.
Like, I chose that I was betteroff either just focusing on
myself or exploring somethingthat could be good for me.
It it if if I could go backstill in that same mindset, like
the way I was feeling, it itmade perfect sense at the time.
It was my only option from whatI saw.
Yes, I could have just waitedout, but I don't think I had the
(19:45):
self-respect or self-love at thetime to be able to sit and just
talk with Natalie and get toknow them.
Like, I pr if I could actuallygo back, I would probably go on
a date with Natalie, I would goon a date with Olivia, I would
go on a date with a few othergirls and like really just
explore myself and my options,right?
But instead, I just stay withNatalie and I'm an intimate
(20:07):
person and I'm a physical personand I thought she was hot and
cool and smart and you know Ifeel like you know what I'm I
felt I fell for it, whatever.
Um so at the time it felt likethe right decision.
Did you so did you go to I kindof have two questions?
Did you go into the show withset boundaries with Ashley and
(20:28):
Yeah, don't cheat.
And okay, so yeah, don't don'tdon't get tempted on Temptation
Island.
Don't get tempted on TemptationIsland, Grant.
So you guys had those setboundaries.
Now, for yourself, were youalready like subconsciously
checked out, or were you like,I'm locked in?
No, no, I am gonna not cheat onher and I'm walking out of this
island with Ashley.
In the beginning, I felt thatway on the first time that I saw
(20:51):
Ashley after we separated andwent back to our own villas.
Yeah, and when she had to pickher date and was like, Oh, I
only have to pick one.
I'm like, Oh, it was her.
Why why am I here then?
Like, like this is clearlyshowing that you treat me like I
am the gum on the bottom of yourshoe.
Like, I don't really matter.
Like, you don't you don't trustme before we're even starting.
Like, why should and and ourentire relationship after I
(21:13):
cheated on her in the beginningof it was me trying to prove
myself.
And what kind of life is that?
Just trying to prove yourselfconstantly to the person that
you want to be with and careabout.
It's it's toxic, it's not right.
Right.
You shouldn't you shouldn't bedoing that.
Granted, I shouldn't havecheated on her in the first
place.
I should have just talked to heror broke up with her, but I I
didn't.
So that was the decision.
Like, do I keep chasing thisgirl that just resents me and
(21:36):
hope that miraculously by theend of the show she'd lets go of
it?
Or do I move on?
We're talking about the Mr.
Beast.
So we have we had all this talkabout Temptation Island.
Yeah.
And then I don't know how longafter that was, but you went on
the Mr.
Beast show.
A year later.
A year later.
A year later.
Basically living with your exes,including Ashley.
(21:58):
Crazy work.
So now you have a part two ofthe same question.
How did you end up in thissituation?
I got a phone call from someonesaying that they worked with the
Beast production team and theywanted to know if I wanted to do
a survival-based challenge for abig cash prize.
Yeah.
I'll do that.
I'm a handy guy.
I'm an outdoors guy.
I love hiking and camping.
(22:19):
Like, I can build stuff with myhands.
I've been swinging a hammersince I was five years old.
Like, I got this.
I got this.
Absolutely.
The only thing I made thempromise me is that me winning
was based off my own willpowerand endurance.
If it's something I can control,because I've saw the other I've
seen the other videos.
I've seen how like certaincontestants will lose just based
off of chance.
(22:40):
And I wasn't willing to do it.
Did you see your own video?
Yeah, bro.
Okay.
I saw my own because you But itwasn't like that's not what I
that's not how it was pitched tome.
I the entire video I thoughtthat it was based off my own
willpower and endurance.
Can I survive out here?
It's 20 degrees outside.
It's North Carolina in November.
I spent Thanksgiving out there.
(23:00):
I was eating worms and and likeworking my ass off all day long
every day.
I I swung a hammer and a hatchetliterally for eight to ten hours
a day.
My hands, like the tendons in myhand, couldn't close.
So it was snowing.
Was it actually 30 days?
Bro, it was 25 days.
Wow.
I left on day 25.
I slept on the they didn't bro.
(23:21):
I was so mad.
Honestly, bro, I was I wish Icould curse a little bit here.
I I was the man.
Like I crushed it.
There's I I couldn't pick asingle way.
Like, if I go back and thinkabout my experience on that
show, there's not a single thingI would do different.
Not a single thing.
I showed up with love, withkindness, with grace.
(23:42):
I forgave these girls no matterwhat they said.
I had a smile on my face everyday.
I did my meditation, my breathwork.
I built a house with my barehands in the woods out of mud
and trees.
I built the girls a swing set, aworking swing set that they were
able to swing on.
You were going crazy every day.
No matter there's cuts of youdragging trees and yo, and those
were not, listen, they couldhave so yo, they could have made
(24:05):
me look so cool.
Like I crushed it.
They just cut to the girls, likethat's it.
Yeah.
I mean again, again, thestoryline is what matters most.
So whatever.
Why do you think the girls wouldnot?
Because you know, even I forgotwho said it, but one of them
even said, like, I don't docamping, I'd rather be in a
villa.
Oh yeah.
So why would they agree to goout for 25 minutes?
(24:26):
Bro, I I don't know if they knewwhat they were getting into or
not.
I don't think they did because Idefinitely didn't.
I thought I was going on a showby myself.
I was ready to go.
I was I was like, all right,bet.
I'm gonna go live in the woodsfor 30 days.
Like, I'm gonna crush this.
Like, finally.
I get to do something that's notabout dating.
What?
It was about dating.
Whoops.
(24:46):
Sorry, jinx.
Uh, yeah, so that that uh youknow So how did they get all
your exes though?
When I said, okay, I'll do theshow, they asked for a bunch of
references.
I gave them my best friends ofyou know the last 10 years.
They reached out to my bestfriends, they're like, give us
every single girl that Grant hasever met, talked to, or hooked
up with.
No, don't ever honestly, if Iwas my friend, I would have done
(25:12):
it too.
Like, this is a greatopportunity.
Like, you're gonna go on a Mr.
Beast show, like whatever.
You got and they all knew thatlike I had done a bunch of
personal development work, I wasready, I was like in the zone,
like I could handle it at thattime.
And I did, and I crushed it.
But unfortunately, anotherspoiler alert.
Left with nothing.
Left with nothing.
You know what?
You can't control what otherpeople do, bro.
(25:34):
But you know what?
Even at the end, I mean if youlike they the edit was not not
the best, but still, if you ifyou watch until the end, bro, I
had a good attitude the wholetime.
Like the the whole the wholetime.
I saw a completely differentperson on there compared to
Temptation Island.
They showed more of me.
I mean, but like I also wasn'texpected to stay loyal to a
(25:57):
girlfriend, which by the way, Idid have a girl during that
experience that I was talking tofor the last nine months.
Outside of that.
So honestly, honestly, bro, thereason I truly believe this, the
reason these girls were so angryand so mad is because I was not
giving them any attention.
Like they they wanted so like ohtheir biggest desire was for
(26:19):
Grant to get on his knees andbeg for their forgiveness.
He's out there in the house.
And like they just wanted me tocater to them and make them feel
like on top of the room.
I'm like, you guys have a bigass pink tent with a
wood-burning stove in there, yougot some food.
I have nothing to prove to you.
Now it's not like I'm not gonnalike take dude.
If we were out there and therewas no tents, no nothing, like I
absolutely would have beenhunting in the woods.
(26:41):
I would have built myself aspear and I would have gone
killed some game.
Like, I was I was ready to setup some traps, catch some
rabbits, cook them on the fire.
I know how to do that stuff.
They didn't have huntingpermits.
I I I literally was not allowedto do that.
I survived on beef jerky andfeastables.
And I ate a couple worms in theprocess.
Yeah, yeah, the little chocolatebars.
Like, that's what we ate.
(27:01):
So it's not like I had toprovide for these girls, really.
And I had a girl at home that Ireally cared about.
I I loved, like, uh she waseverything to me.
She was my best friend, and sheknew I was out there.
She was waiting for she had noidea that I was out there with
five of my exes.
Like, I know that this is gonnabe on YouTube and and pumped to
millions of people.
And so you didn't know that theexes were gonna be there until
(27:22):
you got there.
No, oh man, I was blindfolded inthe woods, and I take off my
mask, and there's one of myexes.
I'm like, yo, what the hell?
How so how so the girl backhome, how did she feel about it
when she found out everythingand saw everything?
I mean, when I when I got back,she was miserable, bro.
She missed me.
Like she was she didn't know ifI was okay, what was going on.
I mean, I was gone for a month.
(27:43):
And you couldn't talk, right?
No, I couldn't talk to you.
So same thing as temptation onthe phone.
Yeah.
Damn.
Plus, I was working all day.
Like, that's all that was myonly mission was to build that
house.
You were you were focused onthat house.
I crushed it.
I want to go back to it.
I think we went out there justto go.
I want to go find it.
The girls are like, where'sGrant?
He's building the house again.
Grant, you don't need a house,you have a tent.
(28:05):
It's like it's 6 a.m.
Alright, hit that button for meonce.
Hit that button one time.
Hold on, you know what I'msaying?
It's a little retransition intoit.
Okay, okay.
But so obviously we're talkingabout all this social media, all
this reality TV, all that goodstuff, and there's a lot of
comments that came with that.
Yeah.
So what is some of the craziestcomments you've seen?
(28:25):
They don't really love me.
They don't I have not seen onepositive comment.
Oh no, no, there's positivecomments.
And in real life, bro, I don'tget any hate.
Like very, very, very rarelyI'll have a girl like scoff at
me and roll her eyes, but thenlike in in real life?
Yeah, in real life.
Like every every once in a whilethey'd be like, ew no, I saw you
on Temptation Island.

go through in life with somethrow-up emojis.
(30:12):
Damn.
By the way, the vid the videothat she replied to is her on my
shoulders of us having a greattime.
Oh man.
That's just doing normaldaddy-daughter time.
Oh my god.
You ready?
You're the most disgustingperson I've ever seen or heard
of.
The way you act on TV is rancid,and the fact that any girl would
ever go near you baffles mymind.
(30:34):
The way you treat women makes mefeel sick to my stomach.
I know damn well your family aredisappointed in you because you
let because let me tell you, ifyou were mine, you would be
fucking disowned.
Your family tree will forever betarnished with you in it.
You literally look like youadmit toxic fumes out of
yourself, you fucking tramp.
May your soul forever burn inhell.
I hope every piece of happinessthat comes into your life
(30:54):
disappears and severely,severely hurts you.
Tramp.
She messages again the next day.
Double trap.
You chose to cheat, you chose tobreak a girl's house.
You chose to cheat, you chose tobreak a girl's heart.
You chose to be unloyal, anunloyal piece of shit.
And then you leave the show, getwith Natalie and cheat on her
too.
What the fuck is wrong with you?
(31:16):
I guess it's true what they say.
A leopard never changes itsspots.
I don't know what I don't knowwhat went through your mind to
even put Ashley through that andto have the ch the cheek to try
and twist it around on herbecause she's spoken about you
to other boys.
You're literally insane and needprofessional help.
And the interview you did aboutthe producers and the crew
saying shit in your ear is utterhorseshit.
Stop making excuses for actionsyou and you alone chose to take.
(31:42):
Two books from my boy Danny.
You are one vile piece of shitthinking that women, that the
women who wanted you from thestart and said she loves you
before you got onto the show,and now you're saying you
forgive her after she cheated onyou, you scum of men.
You don't deserve to callyourself a good man nor a good
father.
I hope everyone in your lifecomes to realize how disgusting
you are and leaves you.
You have earned no respect.
(32:03):
And I hope that you're cheatedon and know the pain it causes
people who don't deserve thattreatment.
You are scum.
The shit I'd scrape off my foot,you dirty, inconsiderate cunt.
You are heartless and deservenothing, you ugly cunt.
That was a man, correct?
That was a man.
That was a man.
That was a man, by the way.
When I went to his profile, thedude's got friends.
(32:23):
Shout out Danny, man.
Like who and Danny's friends.
Yo, Danny.
What a guy.
What?
Like, do your friends knowyou're saying these things to
people online?
This is insane.
Okay, Zeta.
Calling out Zeta.
I hate you.
I'm watching your show rightnow.
You are a fucking piece of shit.
I'm embarrassed for you, youfucking loser.
Bro, I have so many of these.
(32:44):
Oh my goodness.
I I have they go off.
Do you ever do you ever reply tothem?
Do you ever get bored and justlike, let me give someone the
time of the day?
I love replying to them.
I don't have the time of mylife.
Now listen, I'll tell you this.
In the beginning, when I wasgetting these hate messages,
what pissed me off the most is Iknow I was open.
I know I was vulnerable.
I know who I am in my heart, andpeople were judging me based off
an edited version of me.
(33:05):
So when they were sending methese messages like this, I took
it as an opportunity to try andlike help and be kind back.
And I would tell them, I'm like,hey, by the way, like I'm in a
good headspace, thank God, butplease don't be sending this to
other people.
God forbid, you are the strawthat breaks the camel's back.
Like, dude, the stuff that wasbeing sent to me was so bad, the
mother, my child, like wasscared for the safety of our
(33:25):
daughter, right?
Like, like there's some reallyvile stuff in there.
And if people are going out oftheir way to send this level of
hate to strangers, bro, noteveryone is thick skinned like
me.
Not everyone could take somehate.
What if someone what is what ifsomeone was in a really dark
space and that message was whatmade them do something they
can't ever take back?
(33:46):
I was gonna say, like, how didthat affect your mental it never
like convinced me that I wasjust nothing?
It never convinced me that I wasjust a bad person.
What it did do was frustrate methat I couldn't get my point
across.
Like, I I there people refusedto see the real me.
They wouldn't believe.
Like, it didn't matter what Isaid.
(34:06):
No, we saw you, Grant, we knowwho you are.
Oh, yeah, you know me, ofcourse, right?
Because you saw 10 hours out of800 hours split amongst 30
different cast members.
You know me?
Some of like man, I think aboutthat all the time with reality
TV, all that stuff.
Like, not just with you ingeneral, I've I've seen some of
the messages, and some peopleput that in the comments, so I
(34:28):
know the DMs are even crazier.
Oh, my comment section is crazy,bro.
Oh man.
If you ever want to laugh, justgo to some of my comments.

The next day, I get sent aTikTok, and it's that girl
making a TikTok about me saying,Guess why I saw this disgusting
man on my airplane.

That's crazy, bro.
That wasn't called for it.
But listen.
It's not even true, I don'tthink.
There's a bigger one, right?
And that's that's the best part.
We're gonna unpack it all.
I think there's that's not whatI'm saying.
That's just what the internet'ssaying.
Oh, oh, oh.

So looking forward to talking,bro.
And you guys gave me a glass ofwine.
That's fire.
We got the wine, you know, let'sdo a quick cheers as we get into
it.
So, a little quick rundown whatwe're getting into.
Uh, you were recently onTemptation Island.
Um, you were also on Mr.
Beast with the official name uh30 Days Stranded with Your Ex.
(02:16):
Um we'll explain what that is ina minute.
But basically, you were strandedfor camping with five of your
exes.
So they say.
And you you I know you had athrill out of it.
A thrill out of it, bro?
A thrill out of it.
Yeah, yeah.
Would you have a thrill out ofit?
Depends what's exactly.
You would just have oh, okay.
Fair.
You know what you got the goodones and you got the not so good
(02:38):
ones.
So if you you pair me with thegood ones, I would have I would
have liked to uh been able topick and choose who was out
there.
We're gonna we're gonna get intothat because I have questions
for that.
Yeah, um, and money was involvedwith that.
So obviously, you know, you'renot just pairing the dead.
You could you win something too.
Oh, did I?
Yeah.
We'll get into that.
I saw it, but you're supposed towin something.
(03:01):
Um we got this man is runningfor Mr.
USA, Mr.
North Carolina.
That's crazy, but yeah.
Listen, we're gonna explain howthat happened too.
And uh last but not least, youare a father that most people
might not know.
So, unpacking a lot of stuff,hearing from you firsthand.
(03:24):
Uh first of all, let's startwith this temptation island.
Let's go.
What do you want to know?
Uh let's let's let's start fromthe top, all right.
First of all, there might not bepeople who there might be people
who have never seen it.
Basically, it's a show, as youknow.
You go on with your partner, andyou maybe your relationship's
(03:44):
been tested or wherever itstands, and you're going on this
island to basically be tempted.
So, what made you want to go onthis island to be tempted?
Nothing made me want to.
There was a point I reachedwhere I was like, I guess we
can.
And that that point was uh well,it's actually such a crazy
(04:05):
story.
I'll try and wrap it up in uh afew seconds though.
Basically, in the beginning ofour relationship, she went out
to Vegas with a bunch of dudesor whatever.
I thought it was something kindof crazy.
Every time I FaceTimed her,these guys were answering with
their arms around her, and I'mlike, all right, this girl isn't
serious.
I took that as justification, Iguess, and a girl was reaching
(04:28):
out to me at the same time.
So I went out and I cheated onAshley.
Ashley was her name, right?
Um, hold up.
That's it.
I've seen that.
I don't know your name job, butyeah.
Well, I mean, everyone knows hername if they watch the show.
Anyway, anyways, I wasn't askingfor confirmation for
confirmation.
That was her name, by the way.
(04:48):
Uh, anyways, yeah, I I justifiedit and I I cheated on her.
I won her back, and then for ayear and a half, it was just
terrible.
She resented me, she neverforgave me.
Uh, we broke up four differenttimes over that year and a half.
We get to a year and a half, andone of her ex-friendly friends
uh reached out and was like,Hey, I'm a casting director for
(05:09):
the show, you guys would beperfect for it.
Hell no.
No, there's no way I'm doing aguy, yeah, okay.
Oh, the same guy from uh Vegas.
One of the guys from Vegas.
Oh, yeah, yeah.
Just her friend, right?
Uh, anyways, yeah.
So uh he reached out, uh, weended up going on it.
She kind of convinced me becauseshe kept kind of pushing, well,
(05:29):
you know, if we make it, we'llbe on a Netflix show and we'll
be together.
If we don't, we'll be on aNetflix show.
That's cool.
We were already kind of at aspot where we're at a
crossroads.
Like, no couple in a in anactual good relationship goes on
a show like that.
Yes, that's right.
Right, like would you ever bringyour ever bring your girlfriend
together?
No way, no, no way.
No, of course not.
Like that would that sound andshe already resents me for
(05:51):
cheating on her.
Why would I go live in a housewith 12 single girls trying to
get me to cheat on you?
I'm trying to hear the reasonhow you end up there.
Well, that's that's kind of howwe just kind of said, you know
what, whatever.
This sounds kind of cool.
Two weeks later we were there.
Like we like didn't we didn'tapply for it, we didn't go
through months of interviews,everything happened like almost
right away.
Oh two weeks later we werethere.
(06:11):
Because you had the connectionwith the casting director I I
don't I think they just saw thatwe were the perfect fit.
Oh which we were.
You had a roll from the jump.
Yeah, oh oh they knew mystoryline before I did.
I thought I was gonna go there,dude.
We literally had a fuckingparty.
Dude, we literally had a partywith a cake on it that said X
(06:32):
temptation, like no temptation,like you're not gonna be
tempted.
I thought I was like, you knowwhat?
I got this.
I got this.
I want to be with this girl.
There's no way I'm gonna betempted.
I'm gonna see these girls, I'mgonna be just fine.
That's what I thought.
So, spoiler alert.
Um it wasn't.
You you you cheated, you werethe first one to cheat.
Yes.
I think so.
I mean, I don't know whathappened in Vegas, confirmed,
(06:53):
but I'm pretty sure confirmed.
He was the first one to be a bigchance.
Okay, bro.
All right, maybe so.
Quickly.
Did not hesitate.
Yo, please okay.
Yes, it was in within the firstmonth of dating.
Well, I shouldn't have.
But put that out there.
I don't condone cheating, by theway.
No, no, no, we don't condonethat.
We're just we're just we're it'sout there already, so we're
(07:14):
talking about it.
Um, so being on the island, likewhat was your thought thought
process?
Like, did you want to rekindleit, or were you just like, you
know what?
I'm surrounded by all thesepeople, all these beautiful
women, I'm here now.
It is what it is.
Yeah, I mean, I wanted to makeit to the end.
I wanted to be able to trustthat we'd be together for a long
time.
Like, I have a seven-year-olddaughter, I'm looking for
(07:35):
someone that could be a goodstepmother, a a wife to me, have
that soft love for me and mydaughter.
So the whole time for me was amiserable experience.
That now the edit didn't reallyshow that, but it was miserable
for me.
Like the first whole week and ahalf, I was just crying every
day.
Like it was, oh, Grant's cryingagain.
Like, dude, I was miserable.
I was really trying to figureout like off camera.
No, on camera, they just didn'tput it in.
(07:57):
Oh of course, dude.
I was doing hours of interviewsevery single day.
I was pouring my heart.
I didn't know that I was gonnabe the villain.
Can you guys believe that?
But like the whole year leadingup to the the come out of the
show, I was like, no, I'm fine.
I was vulnerable, I was open, Iwas like completely myself.
Like I wore my heart on mysleeve.
Like, I'm more vulnerable thanany of these other guys.
(08:19):
There's no way.
Like America's gonna understand.
I was like, America's gonnaunderstand.
They didn't.
And why would you?
I saw the edit, I was like, ohdamn.
Like, this isn't good.
So, how did you see everythingafter?
Like, you you said you didn'tsee the full thing, so did you
just see clips and I watched upto the third episode and you
couldn't the third episode?
I was like, All right, I knowwhat kind of edit I'm getting.
(08:40):
This isn't good.
This this isn't good for me.
Yeah, I I don't need to watchanymore.
This is not how this happened inthis order, and like, where's
all this?
Where's me talking about this?
If if the if people would see mesay this, they'd understand, but
no, they took it all out.
Did you learn did you learnanything about your even in the
villain edits?
Um, obviously a lot of peoplethat don't know you personally,
(09:01):
they don't know the real you,and they don't know you know
certain situations.
Was there anything that youlearned from those, I guess,
villain edits you could say thatyou're like, okay, I wish I
wouldn't have done this or saidthis, or I wish I could have
worded this differently.
When you say the villain edits,what do you mean?
Like, did I learn anything bywatching the show?
Correct.
Like how they didn't they didn'tpaint you in the best light.
(09:22):
Like you said you were crying,but maybe they didn't put that
in.
The only thing I I learned aboutwatching the show was that the
storyline matters more, notnecessarily the truth.
Like the clicks and the dramaand instilling emotion in the
audience matters more than whatactually happened, right?
Which makes sense.
It's TV.
Like, what can you expect?
Right.
Unfortunately, I expectedsomething different.
(09:43):
So I I learned that.
Uh like the experience in total,like, did I learn anything doing
that?
No, not during.
Like, I I was I was so lost, Iwas so miserable, I was so
confused.
Like, I wouldn't wish thatconfusion on anyone.
Like, that was the worst part ofit was not knowing what to do.
Like, do I stick it out?
Do I stay with this girl?
(10:03):
Do I open myself up to anothergirl, someone that might have
everything that I'm looking for?
And then you have producers inyour ear 24-7.
We're filming a TV show.
Let's go, let's go, let's go,let's have some action.
Come on.
Grant, your girl's dogging onyou.
Grant, your girl's just doggingon the other side.
Like, what are you doing?
Come on, bro.
You have this girl right here.
Let's go.
So how long are you there?
I was there for like 25 days, 30days, something like that.
(10:25):
Okay.
No, no phone, no technology.
You don't know what time of dayit is.
You don't know what day it is.
You're in this beautiful place,but it's like you're being
trapped in paradise.
Like, I I remember sitting therejust looking at the water, being
like, I wish I could get in it.
But you can't because there'srules.
And what one day I finally brokeand I just like dove off the
rock.
I was like, I'm free.
Finally.
And then I got in trouble.
(10:45):
And I'm like, kick me off?
Kick me off because I went for aswim.
Come on.
So a lot of people who go on TVlike that, they say it's a
one-time thing, but theywouldn't do it again.
Like, do you feel the same way?
I'd do it again.
You do it again?
I'll do it again.
Oh, yeah.
He yeah, he go for this.
The same show?
I would do the same.
I would do the exact same thing.
I would like be in the samesituation.
Wait, sorry.
Oh, you're good.
(11:06):
You're good.
If I was in the exact samesituation with Ashley, I would
have gone on the show.
What I wouldn't have done wouldhave been getting physical with
Natalie.
I would have waited until theend.
I would have broke up withAshley at the final bonfire,
walked away with my dignity, andthen dated Natalie.
That's what I would have done.
So I would still go on the show.
I would just do it waydifferently.
(11:28):
But that's hard because that'snot something you plan to do.
So and you said within two weeksyou were on there, so you're
kind of just going with thepunches.
By day three, it felt like aweek.
By a week, it felt like twoweeks.
By the third week, it felt likeI had been there forever, and
like my life was because youguys have a bedtime and wake up
time, right?
We don't have a bedtime, butlike, yeah, like they would shut
the lights off, like cameraswould kind of go away.
(11:48):
You're kind of expected to go tobed.
Like you weren't supposed to behaving conversations off mic,
make sense.
Like, yeah, it was it it wasn'treal life.
That like that's the main thingI want to get across.
Not real life.
So when I got off the show, Ikind of felt like I was in an
insane science experiment.
Like nothing made sense.
Like, was that real?
Like, did that just happen?
Are you saying reality TV is notreal?
(12:09):
Bro.
Take it, take it from me.
Believe me.
Believe me.
It's not.
What was the most tempting partabout the whole show?
The most tempting part?
Natalie.
The girl I ended up gettingwith.
You say she dated her off theshow, right?
I dated her after the show.
Okay, so I heard the story, butI want to hear it from you about
(12:33):
the whole process, how you datedher.
And then you know what I'mtalking about.
Okay, say it then.
Let me confirm.
So just from what I read, youdated Natalie.
You're speaking for the peopleright now, right?
I'm just going by whatever Iread.
Whatever the genus is.
This is your chance to speak onit.
Okay.
So came in the show with Ashley,then ended up dating Natalie,
(12:56):
cheated on Natalie, got backwith Ashley, cheated on Ashley.
That's what you read?
Stop me if I'm wrong.
I mean you're you're you'rewrong on the last part.
Okay, the last part.
I went into Temptation Islandwith Ashley.
Okay.
I left alone, but then got withNatalie.
Correct, correct.
I started dating Natalie and Icheated on Natalie back with
(13:18):
Ashley in person.
It was just a kiss.
And I told Natalie right away.
I already I felt like crap aboutit.
I was like, damn Natalie's areally good idea.
How did that come out?
How did it come out?
Like how did people find outthat you cheated or I mean I
I've I've been pretty open andhonest about what happened after
the show about me dating Natalieand me cheating on Natalie with
Ashley.
I but I like I said I toldNatalie right away.
(13:40):
I didn't expect her to forgiveme.
I mean she's a badass and shewas super sweet.
I felt terrible.
But I ended up starting to dateAshley for the next six months.
Okay.
And no, I didn't cheat on Ashleyagain.
Okay.
Alright.
See, listen, I'm that's whywe're talking to the source.
I'm just the middleman.
So, okay, so when you and Ashleygot together for the six months,
(14:02):
is that the six months where youfelt like you were putting in
work and you were putting ineffort and then it wasn't being
reciprocated?
Absolutely.
I mean speak on that a littlebit.
For those six months after theshow, after Natalie, yeah, I
mean I gave her my all, I mean,I I bought a ring, I was gonna
propose to her, like it was itwas pretty serious.
(14:22):
Um it didn't work out, but itwasn't my fault, it wasn't
necessarily her fault.
She couldn't get herself to f toforgive.
And some people struggle withthat.
Like forgiving is a hard thingthat we have to kind of practice
doing.
She was out of practice.
Right.
So what would you say you'relooking for now?
(14:44):
Right now, yeah.
I'm still looking for the samething, man.
I'm looking for my wife, I'mlooking for a partner for life.
My parents are still together.
I have a seven-year-olddaughter, like I'm not trying to
date just to date.
Like, if I'm going to datesomeone, I want to see myself
actually having a real valuablefuture.
I don't want a transactionalrelationship, I want
transformational relationships.
Okay.
Right?
Like, there's there's no pointin having the service level yes.
(15:06):
Right.
So where would your ideal placebe?
What do you mean?
To like meet your your partner.
Because obviously, a lot harderif you're meeting your partner
in front of the world.
I I don't have an ideal place tomeet my partner.
I I don't really care aboutwhere it's at.
Does it happen or doesn't it?
Okay.
I I I want more kids one day, soit matters more to me like who
(15:28):
she is and what her values areand how we get along.
I don't know.
Okay.
Like, are we aligned?
Was there anyone on the showthat outside of Natalie that
caught your attention as well?
Or that was I guess you couldsay tempting you as well.
That if you were like Nataliewasn't there, I'm definitely
beeling for this person.
Yeah, uh, I would say Olivia S.
(15:50):
Okay.
Okay, and then did you explorethat at all after the show or
you left it alone?
I mean like after Natalie, afterAshley, after the show came out,
yeah.
Like I tried, I tried a littlebit, but like I didn't like try
it that hard.
It wasn't I I think she was donewith it though.
She wasn't really interested.
So what's the reason, not justwith you, but just in general,
(16:11):
like what's the reason you thinkpeople who like go on these
shows still mess with the samepeople in the same bubble?
Uh I mean there's a there's arelationship there somewhat.
It's like, why do you hit up agirl that you met five years ago
that you just like if if you ranthrough your options, whatever?
Like, you know how it is.
(16:32):
We're all guys, like we we getinto those moments where like
you start to watch it.
Well, I always thought she washot.
Let me hit her out.
Let me try.
Like, whatever.
You know how it goes.
No, it's just always funny tosee because with any show,
Temptation, I love Love Island,Love is Blind Anything, like how
months after the show there'salways two people like
(16:53):
rekindling and reconnecting, andit's like, damn, out of all the
people.
You went back to the person youwere on the show with.
But yeah, well that shouldn'thave happened.
I like my it sound it soundscrazy, but like my biggest
regret actually is seeing Ashleyand kissing her like I did.
(17:14):
Like I shouldn't have done thatthat day.
I should have like gone home.
I should have called Natalie,like and been fine.
But I was but I was and it wastaken accountability.
So I was in it, I was in a crazysituation.
It was a science experiment of aa month-long situation, and I
wasn't over Ashley.
Like I didn't understand why anddid I didn't well didn't
(17:36):
understand why, and it soundscrazy.
It ended because I chose to endit by getting with Natalie,
right?
Like I I I I had sex with a girlin a shower knowing that my
girlfriend was gonna watch medoing that.
Okay, like I knew I knew whatwas.
That was pretty wild.
It's not like I didn't know myjaw dropped.
My jaw dropped.
Not gonna lie, my jaw dropped.
(17:56):
That's and the fact that it waslike it was like like I said, I
said off camera.
Um, a girl put me on to theshow, so I didn't even like plan
to watch it.
I'm just watching it going withthe storyline.
Right.
And then that's the first thingI see.
I'm like, oh, this man is wild.
So you just you just answered aquestion for me.
So just so the people know,sorry.
(18:17):
Um so obviously you know you'reon camera, you know the camera,
there's cameras everywhere.
You know, going into the showerthat you're still being
recorded, correct?
Yeah, bro.
And you and you know that thatyour conversations are still
being like recorded.
Yes.
So you just so okay, all right.
(18:37):
Listen, it was a it was aconscious decision.
Like I I knew exactly what I wasdoing.
But but for me, it was it waslike a turning point.
One, it's not like I could justthey had a a temptation island
in Spain where uh well MontoyaMontoya no Montoya no what was
her name that he was runningafter?
I forgot the name.
(19:00):
Anyways, it it wasn't like that.
Like the other villa was an houraway.
I couldn't just run down thebeach and break up with my
girlfriend if I wanted to.
I was clearly I was clearlytold, like, no, you have no
communication with her.
You are single as of right nowon this show.
It's your choice to choose.
Like, are you gonna stay withthe girl that you've been
chasing for a year and a halfthat still hates you, or are you
gonna move on and exploresomething new?
(19:22):
And I decided at that time Ididn't want to be with Ashley
anymore.
Like, I chose that I was betteroff either just focusing on
myself or exploring somethingthat could be good for me.
It it if if I could go backstill in that same mindset, like
the way I was feeling, it itmade perfect sense at the time.
It was my only option from whatI saw.
Yes, I could have just waitedout, but I don't think I had the
(19:45):
self-respect or self-love at thetime to be able to sit and just
talk with Natalie and get toknow them.
Like, I pr if I could actuallygo back, I would probably go on
a date with Natalie, I would goon a date with Olivia, I would
go on a date with a few othergirls and like really just
explore myself and my options,right?
But instead, I just stay withNatalie and I'm an intimate
(20:07):
person and I'm a physical personand I thought she was hot and
cool and smart and you know Ifeel like you know what I'm I
felt I fell for it, whatever.
Um so at the time it felt likethe right decision.
Did you so did you go to I kindof have two questions?
Did you go into the show withset boundaries with Ashley and
(20:28):
Yeah, don't cheat.
And okay, so yeah, don't don'tdon't get tempted on Temptation
Island.
Don't get tempted on TemptationIsland, Grant.
So you guys had those setboundaries.
Now, for yourself, were youalready like subconsciously
checked out, or were you like,I'm locked in?
No, no, I am gonna not cheat onher and I'm walking out of this
island with Ashley.
In the beginning, I felt thatway on the first time that I saw
(20:51):
Ashley after we separated andwent back to our own villas.
Yeah, and when she had to pickher date and was like, Oh, I
only have to pick one.
I'm like, Oh, it was her.
Why why am I here then?
Like, like this is clearlyshowing that you treat me like I
am the gum on the bottom of yourshoe.
Like, I don't really matter.
Like, you don't you don't trustme before we're even starting.
Like, why should and and ourentire relationship after I
(21:13):
cheated on her in the beginningof it was me trying to prove
myself.
And what kind of life is that?
Just trying to prove yourselfconstantly to the person that
you want to be with and careabout.
It's it's toxic, it's not right.
Right.
You shouldn't you shouldn't bedoing that.
Granted, I shouldn't havecheated on her in the first
place.
I should have just talked to heror broke up with her, but I I
didn't.
So that was the decision.
Like, do I keep chasing thisgirl that just resents me and
(21:36):
hope that miraculously by theend of the show she'd lets go of
it?
Or do I move on?
We're talking about the Mr.
Beast.
So we have we had all this talkabout Temptation Island.
Yeah.
And then I don't know how longafter that was, but you went on
the Mr.
Beast show.
A year later.
A year later.
A year later.
Basically living with your exes,including Ashley.
(21:58):
Crazy work.
So now you have a part two ofthe same question.
How did you end up in thissituation?
I got a phone call from someonesaying that they worked with the
Beast production team and theywanted to know if I wanted to do
a survival-based challenge for abig cash prize.
Yeah.
I'll do that.
I'm a handy guy.
I'm an outdoors guy.
I love hiking and camping.
(22:19):
Like, I can build stuff with myhands.
I've been swinging a hammersince I was five years old.
Like, I got this.
I got this.
Absolutely.
The only thing I made thempromise me is that me winning
was based off my own willpowerand endurance.
If it's something I can control,because I've saw the other I've
seen the other videos.
I've seen how like certaincontestants will lose just based
off of chance.
(22:40):
And I wasn't willing to do it.
Did you see your own video?
Yeah, bro.
Okay.
I saw my own because you But itwasn't like that's not what I
that's not how it was pitched tome.
I the entire video I thoughtthat it was based off my own
willpower and endurance.
Can I survive out here?
It's 20 degrees outside.
It's North Carolina in November.
I spent Thanksgiving out there.
(23:00):
I was eating worms and and likeworking my ass off all day long
every day.
I I swung a hammer and a hatchetliterally for eight to ten hours
a day.
My hands, like the tendons in myhand, couldn't close.
So it was snowing.
Was it actually 30 days?
Bro, it was 25 days.
Wow.
I left on day 25.
I slept on the they didn't bro.
(23:21):
I was so mad.
Honestly, bro, I was I wish Icould curse a little bit here.
I I was the man.
Like I crushed it.
There's I I couldn't pick asingle way.
Like, if I go back and thinkabout my experience on that
show, there's not a single thingI would do different.
Not a single thing.
I showed up with love, withkindness, with grace.
(23:42):
I forgave these girls no matterwhat they said.
I had a smile on my face everyday.
I did my meditation, my breathwork.
I built a house with my barehands in the woods out of mud
and trees.
I built the girls a swing set, aworking swing set that they were
able to swing on.
You were going crazy every day.
No matter there's cuts of youdragging trees and yo, and those
were not, listen, they couldhave so yo, they could have made
(24:05):
me look so cool.
Like I crushed it.
They just cut to the girls, likethat's it.
Yeah.
I mean again, again, thestoryline is what matters most.
So whatever.
Why do you think the girls wouldnot?
Because you know, even I forgotwho said it, but one of them
even said, like, I don't docamping, I'd rather be in a
villa.
Oh yeah.
So why would they agree to goout for 25 minutes?
(24:26):
Bro, I I don't know if they knewwhat they were getting into or
not.
I don't think they did because Idefinitely didn't.
I thought I was going on a showby myself.
I was ready to go.
I was I was like, all right,bet.
I'm gonna go live in the woodsfor 30 days.
Like, I'm gonna crush this.
Like, finally.
I get to do something that's notabout dating.
What?
It was about dating.
Whoops.
(24:46):
Sorry, jinx.
Uh, yeah, so that that uh youknow So how did they get all
your exes though?
When I said, okay, I'll do theshow, they asked for a bunch of
references.
I gave them my best friends ofyou know the last 10 years.
They reached out to my bestfriends, they're like, give us
every single girl that Grant hasever met, talked to, or hooked
up with.
No, don't ever honestly, if Iwas my friend, I would have done
(25:12):
it too.
Like, this is a greatopportunity.
Like, you're gonna go on a Mr.
Beast show, like whatever.
You got and they all knew thatlike I had done a bunch of
personal development work, I wasready, I was like in the zone,
like I could handle it at thattime.
And I did, and I crushed it.
But unfortunately, anotherspoiler alert.
Left with nothing.
Left with nothing.
You know what?
You can't control what otherpeople do, bro.
(25:34):
But you know what?
Even at the end, I mean if youlike they the edit was not not
the best, but still, if you ifyou watch until the end, bro, I
had a good attitude the wholetime.
Like the the whole the wholetime.
I saw a completely differentperson on there compared to
Temptation Island.
They showed more of me.
I mean, but like I also wasn'texpected to stay loyal to a
(25:57):
girlfriend, which by the way, Idid have a girl during that
experience that I was talking tofor the last nine months.
Outside of that.
So honestly, honestly, bro, thereason I truly believe this, the
reason these girls were so angryand so mad is because I was not
giving them any attention.
Like they they wanted so like ohtheir biggest desire was for
(26:19):
Grant to get on his knees andbeg for their forgiveness.
He's out there in the house.
And like they just wanted me tocater to them and make them feel
like on top of the room.
I'm like, you guys have a bigass pink tent with a
wood-burning stove in there, yougot some food.
I have nothing to prove to you.
Now it's not like I'm not gonnalike take dude.
If we were out there and therewas no tents, no nothing, like I
absolutely would have beenhunting in the woods.
(26:41):
I would have built myself aspear and I would have gone
killed some game.
Like, I was I was ready to setup some traps, catch some
rabbits, cook them on the fire.
I know how to do that stuff.
They didn't have huntingpermits.
I I I literally was not allowedto do that.
I survived on beef jerky andfeastables.
And I ate a couple worms in theprocess.
Yeah, yeah, the little chocolatebars.
Like, that's what we ate.
(27:01):
So it's not like I had toprovide for these girls, really.
And I had a girl at home that Ireally cared about.
I I loved, like, uh she waseverything to me.
She was my best friend, and sheknew I was out there.
She was waiting for she had noidea that I was out there with
five of my exes.
Like, I know that this is gonnabe on YouTube and and pumped to
millions of people.
And so you didn't know that theexes were gonna be there until
(27:22):
you got there.
No, oh man, I was blindfolded inthe woods, and I take off my
mask, and there's one of myexes.
I'm like, yo, what the hell?
How so how so the girl backhome, how did she feel about it
when she found out everythingand saw everything?
I mean, when I when I got back,she was miserable, bro.
She missed me.
Like she was she didn't know ifI was okay, what was going on.
I mean, I was gone for a month.
(27:43):
And you couldn't talk, right?
No, I couldn't talk to you.
So same thing as temptation onthe phone.
Yeah.
Damn.
Plus, I was working all day.
Like, that's all that was myonly mission was to build that
house.
You were you were focused onthat house.
I crushed it.
I want to go back to it.
I think we went out there justto go.
I want to go find it.
The girls are like, where'sGrant?
He's building the house again.
Grant, you don't need a house,you have a tent.
(28:05):
It's like it's 6 a.m.
Alright, hit that button for meonce.
Hit that button one time.
Hold on, you know what I'msaying?
It's a little retransition intoit.
Okay, okay.
But so obviously we're talkingabout all this social media, all
this reality TV, all that goodstuff, and there's a lot of
comments that came with that.
Yeah.
So what is some of the craziestcomments you've seen?
(28:25):
They don't really love me.
They don't I have not seen onepositive comment.
Oh no, no, there's positivecomments.
And in real life, bro, I don'tget any hate.
Like very, very, very rarelyI'll have a girl like scoff at
me and roll her eyes, but thenlike in in real life?
Yeah, in real life.
Like every every once in a whilethey'd be like, ew no, I saw you
on Temptation Island.
Like, where would you be?
(28:46):
Like what at party parties.
Oh, okay.
Bro, I get walked up to all thetime.
It's it's insane.
Your face is all over TV.
So crazy.
It's crazy.
It doesn't feel real.
So let's hear some of the thecraziest.
All right, let's see.
Oh, he got them ready.
Oh, he hold on, hold on.
I love this.
I love this.
He got them ready.
I'm so this is like the tea.
I'm getting the tea right nowfrom my homegirl.
(29:09):
I'm getting the tea fromhomegirl, he says.
For six months, once TemptationIsland hit, I was getting
thousands of DMs a day.
Thousands.
Insane.
Insane.
And no matter what I posted, nomatter what I said, take
accountability.
We know who you are.
No, you're a piece of shit.
Blah blah blah.
Take accountability, man.
Take accountability.
(29:29):
I would literally be postingvideos saying, guys, I don't
condone cheating.
What I did was wrong.
Like I understand what I did.
And then at the in the commentsection of that video, take
accountability.
Like, what are you gonna admitthat you're wrong?
I was like, yo.
There's no way to have you likewatched what I was saying.
Have you like listened?
Are you hated?
Are you like, do you have anextra chromosome?
Like, what's going on, bro?
(29:50):
Uh let's hear some of the DOs.
Alright, I'll just go like justone by one.
Just some good ones.
Hi.
I literally hate you so much.
You're actually discussingpieces of shit, not gonna lie.
Great.
Jessica.
I hate you.
I feel so bad for your daughter.
Having you as a dad must be theworst thing anyone could have to
go through in life with somethrow-up emojis.
(30:12):
Damn.
By the way, the vid the videothat she replied to is her on my
shoulders of us having a greattime.
Oh man.
That's just doing normaldaddy-daughter time.
Oh my god.
You ready?
You're the most disgustingperson I've ever seen or heard
of.
The way you act on TV is rancid,and the fact that any girl would
ever go near you baffles mymind.
(30:34):
The way you treat women makes mefeel sick to my stomach.
I know damn well your family aredisappointed in you because you
let because let me tell you, ifyou were mine, you would be
fucking disowned.
Your family tree will forever betarnished with you in it.
You literally look like youadmit toxic fumes out of
yourself, you fucking tramp.
May your soul forever burn inhell.
I hope every piece of happinessthat comes into your life
(30:54):
disappears and severely,severely hurts you.
Tramp.
She messages again the next day.
Double trap.
You chose to cheat, you chose tobreak a girl's house.
You chose to cheat, you chose tobreak a girl's heart.
You chose to be unloyal, anunloyal piece of shit.
And then you leave the show, getwith Natalie and cheat on her
too.
What the fuck is wrong with you?
(31:16):
I guess it's true what they say.
A leopard never changes itsspots.
I don't know what I don't knowwhat went through your mind to
even put Ashley through that andto have the ch the cheek to try
and twist it around on herbecause she's spoken about you
to other boys.
You're literally insane and needprofessional help.
And the interview you did aboutthe producers and the crew
saying shit in your ear is utterhorseshit.
Stop making excuses for actionsyou and you alone chose to take.
(31:42):
Two books from my boy Danny.
You are one vile piece of shitthinking that women, that the
women who wanted you from thestart and said she loves you
before you got onto the show,and now you're saying you
forgive her after she cheated onyou, you scum of men.
You don't deserve to callyourself a good man nor a good
father.
I hope everyone in your lifecomes to realize how disgusting
you are and leaves you.
You have earned no respect.
(32:03):
And I hope that you're cheatedon and know the pain it causes
people who don't deserve thattreatment.
You are scum.
The shit I'd scrape off my foot,you dirty, inconsiderate cunt.
You are heartless and deservenothing, you ugly cunt.
That was a man, correct?
That was a man.
That was a man.
That was a man, by the way.
When I went to his profile, thedude's got friends.
(32:23):
Shout out Danny, man.
Like who and Danny's friends.
Yo, Danny.
What a guy.
What?
Like, do your friends knowyou're saying these things to
people online?
This is insane.
Okay, Zeta.
Calling out Zeta.
I hate you.
I'm watching your show rightnow.
You are a fucking piece of shit.
I'm embarrassed for you, youfucking loser.
Bro, I have so many of these.
(32:44):
Oh my goodness.
I I have they go off.
Do you ever do you ever reply tothem?
Do you ever get bored and justlike, let me give someone the
time of the day?
I love replying to them.
I don't have the time of mylife.
Now listen, I'll tell you this.
In the beginning, when I wasgetting these hate messages,
what pissed me off the most is Iknow I was open.
I know I was vulnerable.
I know who I am in my heart, andpeople were judging me based off
an edited version of me.
(33:05):
So when they were sending methese messages like this, I took
it as an opportunity to try andlike help and be kind back.
And I would tell them, I'm like,hey, by the way, like I'm in a
good headspace, thank God, butplease don't be sending this to
other people.
God forbid, you are the strawthat breaks the camel's back.
Like, dude, the stuff that wasbeing sent to me was so bad, the
mother, my child, like wasscared for the safety of our
(33:25):
daughter, right?
Like, like there's some reallyvile stuff in there.
And if people are going out oftheir way to send this level of
hate to strangers, bro, noteveryone is thick skinned like
me.
Not everyone could take somehate.
What if someone what is what ifsomeone was in a really dark
space and that message was whatmade them do something they
can't ever take back?
(33:46):
I was gonna say, like, how didthat affect your mental it never
like convinced me that I wasjust nothing?
It never convinced me that I wasjust a bad person.
What it did do was frustrate methat I couldn't get my point
across.
Like, I I there people refusedto see the real me.
They wouldn't believe.
Like, it didn't matter what Isaid.
(34:06):
No, we saw you, Grant, we knowwho you are.
Oh, yeah, you know me, ofcourse, right?
Because you saw 10 hours out of800 hours split amongst 30
different cast members.
You know me?
Some of like man, I think aboutthat all the time with reality
TV, all that stuff.
Like, not just with you ingeneral, I've I've seen some of
the messages, and some peopleput that in the comments, so I
(34:28):
know the DMs are even crazier.
Oh, my comment section is crazy,bro.
Oh man.
If you ever want to laugh, justgo to some of my comments.
Bro, honestly, when I waspreparing for this episode, I
was I was going through thecomments section.
Yeah, bro, it's entertaining.
It's entertaining.
Dude, I I've had girls walk upto me in public.
I had her actually listen tothis.
I was in the airport with mydaughter going on to the plane,
right?
I had a girl walk up to me,shaking, bro, like so nervous.
(34:51):
Like it was it was adorable.
Like she just wanted a picture,right?
We take the selfie.
The next day, I get sent aTikTok, and it's that girl
making a TikTok about me saying,Guess why I saw this disgusting
man on my airplane.
Yo, this girl walked up to me,interrupted me with my daughter
to ask for a selfie.
No, you know what?
I think I saw that.
(35:11):
I think I saw that.
Insane.
Insane.
And did she like take a pictureof what is wrong with people?
I don't know if it was the sameone.
They took a picture of you likewhen you were seated out of it.
Oh yes, yes.
Yeah, I saw that one.

So how how has how has lifechanged for you since the show?
Um, I guess good and bad.
Bro, now I have like peoplestopping me like 15 times a day.
And then like, is that a goodthing or a bad thing?
Oh, it's whatever.
It's it's kind of cool.
It's like, alright, like I'm I'mknown, like I have some clout,
(35:54):
whatever, but like the onlything it really did for me is I
can get into like any club.

some friends, and I wasliterally just like walking by,
like, preparing to go to theback of this big line.
And Grant, are you are you Grantfrom Temptation Island?
Yo, no way, no way.

And then when I go back home, Ilike literally live on the lake.
