Two years ago, I came to the show as a contestant who fell just shy of taking home the trophy, and last year I was a part of the show as a challenger.

I can easily decipher an honest performer from a frivolous one and since I don't know how to mince words, the contestants better be ready to hear the ugly truth.”
