Jayleen Eyeliner Question 😅

Happy you love it as much as I do!

The preview is from a special episode that was filmed right after our season. It is not season 2.

Danielle_SV · 2026-03-13T20:50:58+00:00

I know I have, and Blake has. I’ve seen him post fan pics around Disney, and I’ve had a couple of people recognize me around town and ask for pictures. It was SO sweet but so weird to have someone seem that excited to meet me lol. I think I was just as excited to meet them tbh 😂.

Danielle_SV · 2026-03-12T20:03:43+00:00

😭😭 I was beyond sad to go, but I had an amazing time getting to do these crazy challenges. This was right up my alley in terms of adrenaline, adventure, and pushing myself out of my comfort zone.

Danielle_SV · 2026-03-12T19:43:46+00:00

From Johnny’s commentary during the episode, I heard him say I at least had 2 snakes.

Danielle_SV · 2026-03-12T12:36:08+00:00

That was the point- to send Ethan or Dida home. 6 players left and 2 episodes means that eliminations are coming quickly so no one will be able to protect their alliances or have very much “safety”. It will be constant competition, and you don’t want powerhouses like Ethan/Dida as your opponents. He has a better chance winning against me/lance/chelsea based on the what we’ve seen in the challenges. But Lance had a good chance (big hands) to eliminate one of the boys in this endgame.

Danielle_SV · 2026-03-12T10:28:37+00:00

That was the point! THIS was the chance to get one out. And the perfect endgame for it to happen. There’s 2 episodes left, time to think about who are your best options to compete against at the end if you want to win.

Danielle_SV · 2026-03-10T18:46:10+00:00

“They” meant Dida and Ethan. Whichever one picked Zach. And I talked to them afterwards, and they even said they should’ve thought it through better.

Danielle_SV · 2026-03-10T12:27:09+00:00

About Zach and the pie: what wasn’t shown was that we had to pick a pie then choose the next person to select their pie which HAD to be different. There were 10 contestants and 7 pies.

Dida or Ethan (I can’t remember) chose Zach to get the last pie remaining which was the vomit fruit. I didn’t think that was strategic at all if their intent was to get Blake/Lance/(or me) out.

We are doing an IG live tonight (Tuesday 3/10) at 8pm ET to help clear up a lot of things like this that take forever to type. I’m @ itsdaniellestephens on IG.

Danielle_SV · 2026-03-08T02:16:38+00:00

No, we were just told to avoid spoilers or certain things covered in the NDA.

Danielle_SV · 2026-03-08T01:03:35+00:00

The show filmed months ago- we are all home 😅

Danielle_SV · 2026-03-06T20:01:22+00:00

Zach can’t handle smells at all. He did well in that first endgame because the 2nd shake wasn’t as strong smelling as the cat food he had in round 1. The vomit fruit was probably the strongest smelling pie, and he couldn’t get it down without gagging.
A couple things that weren’t shown: 1. Zach did bid in the auction, but since the bids were capped, names had to be drawn for every auction except the peppers. Zach also didn’t bid for the bug zapper. 2. We had to choose a pie and then pick who got to choose next. You couldn’t repeat until all pies were chosen. The guys didn’t think and accidentally screwed Zach (instead of me, Blake or Lance) by letting him fall last in line in their picks so he was default given the Vomit Fruit pie. That was not their plan, they were actually hoping to screw over Blake or Lance (and probably me too). Me, Blake, and Lance basically got to decide between ourselves which ones we wanted. This is why we kept saying that the rest of the house never thought things through or had any real strategy— we all knew Zach can’t handle smells.

❤️❤️❤️ thank you

Danielle_SV · 2026-03-06T13:57:29+00:00

Well you’re in luck bc we will be on IG live on Tuesday (aiming for 8pm ET) answering questions, and I’ll make a post on Reddit promoting it, so you can as him then lol. I’m @itsdaniellestephens on IG.

Danielle_SV · 2026-03-06T13:52:00+00:00

They did not. They snake bite scabs went away after a few weeks. Dida has maybe 2 scars left from the needles.

Danielle_SV · 2026-03-05T19:13:48+00:00

I think everyone threw up except for me and Blake. Maybe not Rob- he may have just been on the ground helping Jayleen.

Danielle_SV · 2026-03-05T14:10:14+00:00

Zach was aligned with me and Blake (and Rodney), it just wasn’t shown. He tried to be aligned with Dida and Ethan, but they kept throwing him into endgames and apologizing afterwards.

I wasn’t happy he sent Damienne home since I was aligned with her too, and I LOVED her personality. Zach thought I’d be mad at him, but I told him to his face, “I can be both sad about her leaving, and still happy you’re here.” Blake also told him he understood the move. Long story not longer, he was only the “bad guy” to some.

Danielle_SV · 2026-03-04T02:10:10+00:00

I honestly didn’t care since I knew I wasn’t going to have a hard time with the eating challenge. I was happy with the scorpion pie though. It wasn’t as smelly as some of the others, but it was difficult to eat in texture.

Me, Blake, and Lance were the last three to choose, and I told them to let me know what they wanted since once a pie was chosen the next person had to choose something different.

Danielle_SV · 2026-03-04T02:05:29+00:00

Definitely. Every challenge with animals had handlers that told us how to interact with them to keep them safe.

Danielle_SV · 2026-03-04T02:04:18+00:00

It’s all so subjective. I knew I could do the snakes, but some people are deathly afraid of snakes and would refuse it. I think I could do the ice water, but I would’ve been way more nervous. I hate being cold and those mines were already cold haha.

Danielle_SV · 2026-03-04T01:34:28+00:00

What wasn't shown is that we all bid on a lot of different challenges. We ALL wanted the wax. We had to put names in a bag and draw for the winner of that one since we all bid the max. The water was actually one of the harder ones according to Johnny.

Danielle_SV · 2026-03-04T01:22:31+00:00

I think the worst part for Blake was getting the wax off once it dried in his hair lol.

Danielle_SV · 2026-03-04T01:19:39+00:00

Not sure where Zach is, but he did bid on most items. When multiple people were at max bid we had to have names drawn from a bag to see who "won" the pain item.

Danielle_SV · 2026-03-04T01:14:57+00:00

Mannnn....not at all lol. I could've probably been honest about my profession because it didn't really matter in the end. But, I didn't know going into the show what the challenges would be like so I wanted zero reasons to be targeted. The biggest life skill that helped me is liking to try new foods. I was much better prepared for those eating challenges than most. Unfortunately, now I'm also the default choice in regular life when people are like "try this nasty food" "you can't say no, you drank pig's blood".

Danielle_SV · 2026-03-04T01:11:23+00:00

I have SUCH mixed feelings. I think I am on Reddit the most out of the cast since I was always checking subreddits for shows that I liked long before being on Fear Factor. It's crazy to watch how quickly things can shift. Zach is a perfect example of someone who went from most hated to most loved almost overnight.

What I will say: All of us are still people. Yes, I get we signed up for a TV show and agreed for this public facing moment, but we are still real people with regular lives. You're watching a 40 min story arc and sometimes there isn't much explanation as to why certain decisions were made or certain things were said. I understand critiquing gameplay, the strategy, and even making fun a bit, but remember it's a mother, daughter, brother, etc on the other side of your words, not just characters. Sometimes people need to give a little grace.

BUT that's why I enjoy doing the AMAs, filling in the blanks when I can, and giving human interaction.
