ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY: Let’s begin right here. You do the tour this week, get your $820,000 case, and pair up with Lete. Then Phillip and Parvati have the facility to separate up a pair, and CK runs over there and tells them to separate you and Lete up in order that you may be susceptible. What do you make of that transfer by CK when it comes to clearly concentrating on you?

ROCK CARLSON: I felt that there was a lady's alliance happening, and I heard my identify a few occasions earlier than we even acquired to the place we arrange our briefcases. So I believed, “S—, there’s a lady's alliance.” So after I noticed her going forwards and backwards to Parvati, I believed for positive they had been speaking about it. However then once more, I wasn't fairly positive as a result of I couldn't hear. I used to be going to run over and attempt to leap into the dialog, however I believed: I'm simply going to play it cool.

So anyway, then she splits me and I believed, “S—, I'm again on a god dang backside once more. So instantly I needed to play the Banker as a result of the opposite two backside had been feminine and hey, if considered one of them wins. I do know I'm gone. So I needed to mainly play my sport, however at first I used to be like, “What the s—'s occurring now?”

Who's the motive force, who's the passenger who's within the backseat? Nicely, proper off the bat Parvati and David had been using a convertible with the child chair for Dickson. So I used to be extra staying again and observing every little thing that was happening. I didn't leap into the combination from the start to attempt to do one thing. I used to be laying again across the bottom watching everyone and making an attempt to strategize who was with who earlier than I began taking part in a bit of bit more durable and a bit of bit extra.

That was mainly the place I used to be at at that time. So with the ladies's alliance, after I noticed CK speaking to a few them, after which they began to scatter a bit of bit when David walked up. They didn't know I used to be watching. My head was on a god dang swivel. So I used to be making an attempt to watch every little thing that was happening. I imply, that's simply the best way I’m in actual life too. I watch every little thing. So I jumped to say I needed to play the Banker, as a result of I knew that if a type of two ladies received, I used to be going to be gone.

You turned down the primary supply from the Banker whenever you had a 75% likelihood of creating a very good deal, however then took the second supply with the identical odds. So take me by way of the pondering there.

Screw it.” On the identical time, when individuals aren't placing cash up on the board, they acquired to go. As a result of the entire secret’s placing cash on the board for both myself or whoever else wins. And you bought to be a staff participant on loads of that stuff exterior of the selfishness and making an attempt to take all of it the best way down.

And bless Luke's coronary heart, I imply, he was out of his realm with this as a result of he had no thought about any sort of actuality TV, however the man was sincere. So my focus was, “Okay, I'm going to play it once more. There's nonetheless loads of decrease numbers left, so what's my likelihood?” However I nonetheless knew I had that different larger case, I felt it in my coronary heart.

If I play to get the $1.3 million, I'm a hero, however deep down on the facet of my coronary heart, I'm exterior rather a lot. I like the nights. I search for on the stars and I might see these vivid stars and know what I did in my coronary heart was proper as a result of I needed to. On the opposite facet of it, I had a 75% likelihood. So I took one for the staff. I knew I used to be going to be strolling.

It's fascinating as a result of allegedly, you wish to pull off low quantity circumstances to construct the next supply for the pot. However I believe it's really the alternative and also you wish to pull the excessive quantity circumstances down as a result of your odds for staying are so a lot better. It appeared such as you had been having this horrible sport towards the Banker, however I'm like, “He's having an amazing sport! He’s going to get nice odds on his supply!”
