BB8 Starrymag Interviews Daniele Donato:
Q. Why did you want to be a part of the show?
A. My dad and I had actually applied for season six, the season with the partners, we were in the finals but we didn't make the show because I was too young at the time. After applying that year, it was just something that I had wanted to do, a change of pace, something exciting in life. I didn't know it was going to be so dramatic and different than what I expected. I just wanted an escape from reality.
Q. Who was your biggest competition?
A. I had said from the first week that I was HOH that Eric was the biggest threat in the house. He by far was the smartest in the house and definitely the best player. My dad likes to use the term Philadelphia lawyer to describe him. He can argue any side and he can get anybody to be on his side with him and believe what he was saying. I had called him out on it and I went for it and obviously it didn't work. Obviously hands down, Eric was the biggest threat in the house.
Q. What did you miss the most about your outside life?
A. Fast food, I missed fast food!
Q. Who do you plan on keeping in contact with from the show?
A. The only people I plan on keeping in contact with are Nick, Joe, and probably Kail and Jameka through email. Probably just Nick and Joe, possibly Mike.
Q. Do you have any idea how you will spend your winnings?
A. I also am planning a trip, not the same trip as my dad, but after being in the house you definitely need a vacation just to get away. Also, I really do need a new car and I do plan on going back to school.
Q. What does slop taste like and how did it effect your body?
A. Slop tastes like pig food, it's nothing for humans to eat at all. It does not take like oatmeal, personally, it was really hard to get down. It was like these floating oats in your mouth, it was the worst thing ever. I'm a really small person, I don't have that much meat on me anyway, the weight that slop got me down to is a weight I probably had never been to. I haven't been to that way in absolutely years and years. It messes with your body, it messes with your emotions, it knew how to do it and it made you a complete mess.
Q. What would you like to say to your fans?
A. What fans? We still haven't reached that point yet. Honestly, it's still surreal, we're just normal, average people. The best way I can describe it is when Janelle came for the veto competition and she looked at me and was like, "I love you!" I was like, "Me? Who am I? I love you, you have no idea." It's all so new right now and we don't know what's going on and how people really feel about us. It's just like who are we, we're just normal, average people.
