00:01:36
What's up, fam?
00:01:40
I'm Shapiro, host of the Recap Kickback Podcast here for the exit interviews for Dealer Nodial Island season two, with me, my amazing co-host, Jenny Autumn, and the most recently eliminated contestant from Dealer Nodial Island season two,
00:01:51
Storm.
00:01:51
Storm, what's up?
00:01:52
How was it going, guys?
00:01:54
I, uh, I'm just living my life in Austin now, no longer on the bankers island, trying to come here for money, so.
00:02:00
Yeah, we've got a lot of questions about what happened on last night's episode, so let's jump right in, Storm.
00:02:05
Do you normally go by storm in your real life off of Dealer?
00:02:08
Was there a choice to go by your middle name for the purposes of the show?
00:02:11
No, no, I go by this name everywhere.
00:02:14
I think, uh, I think in the sixth grade, I made a switch and never looked back.
00:02:18
Yeah, I look, I won't reveal, 'cause I know that's, look, there's a personal choice there.
00:02:22
You keep that, but, uh, yeah, but no, I wasn't surprised, like, when I heard that, because this is, that's a really, that's a really good reality TV name.
00:02:29
Like Storm is, is a, is a dope name, and I think a lot of people were paying attention to your time in the game, just based on your name, but it didn't go so well, Storm, it didn't.
00:02:39
Yeah, what happened?
00:02:41
I mean, you know, honestly, before that temple, I thought things were going great, right?
00:02:45
Like, I'm talking to Dr.
00:02:46
Will, right?
00:02:47
We're coming up with a plan.
00:02:48
He wants to get it to CK, but he can't put her up because he made a deal with her.
00:02:51
Okay, let's just convince somebody else to try to get rid of her.
00:02:54
We want to get rid of that wouldn't mess with the family.
00:02:57
Dixon's a perfect, like, person for that, because the family doesn't even really like him.
00:03:02
He was a shield at that point.
00:03:03
And so I go up to Dixon, I talk to Dixon, telling that CK doesn't really like him, because of some other BS reason, get him to admit that he wants to go to CK.
00:03:11
So I'm thinking, like, this is quite easy, like everything is saying Kara.
00:03:15
And I was in temple, really excited for him, showing how happy I was that he was doing well.
00:03:21
And, and then completely, I really got, but I decided at the end, I did not see that coming.
00:03:28
Yeah, so I'm, I'm really curious because, you know, as we saw from the rankings, you were kind of sitting pretty in the middle of things.
00:03:36
Was there obviously you felt good about Dixon being the one to face the banker?
00:03:41
Was there anyone that was potentially going to play the banker that you were nervous about that?
00:03:46
Did you see anyone else trying to take you out?
00:03:49
Not at the time.
00:03:50
You know, I've been working a pretty hard social game with everybody, right?
00:03:53
Because like I, in my mind, I didn't want to form an alliance right off the back, because that kind of puts a little bit of a target on your back.
00:03:59
You're like trying to work with people that makes everybody else enemies.
00:04:02
I wanted to kind of find myself an alliance.
00:04:04
I also wanted to sand back some of the competitions for the first like third, because I didn't want to seem as a physical threat, because people were already starting to talk about that.
00:04:12
And so I thought like, things were going pretty well.
00:04:16
And then I didn't have any enemies at the time.
00:04:19
I was friends with everybody, including my alliance obviously.
00:04:22
So I just didn't, I didn't see coming.
00:04:24
I would have at that point not seen anybody getting for you, which is why when I was playing around with the acts and struggling to get it to stick, I didn't have any concerns.
00:04:33
Yeah.
00:04:34
You were a part of one of the more shocking moments of dealer no deal island season two, probably dealer no deal island history.
00:04:40
What was your experience like watching it back all these months later?
00:04:43
I was the craziest experience in my life, right?
00:04:45
Because you know, when you're there and you're filming it, you know what happens, but you don't exactly know how they're going to show it.
00:04:50
And so that was pretty, and it makes it really special because you're like, every once in a while, you know, they produce things to kind of make and go a certain way.
00:04:57
But whenever I was throwing that X, that was my last throw.
00:05:00
Like there was a couple more throws didn't show in there.
00:05:02
And the producers came up to me and I, Hey, this is your last chance.
00:05:06
If you don't hit this target, you don't get a case.
00:05:08
And so the pressure was on.
00:05:09
And then Maria Grace talked to us.
00:05:11
Hey, she could talk to me.
00:05:12
She could give us some tips.
00:05:13
And so Maria Grace came out there.
00:05:14
It was perfect.
00:05:15
You know, the showman's thing.
00:05:16
She's giving me a quilt shoulder rubs.
00:05:17
And you got this.
00:05:18
Just don't look at my eyes because they're going to distract you.
00:05:20
Utilize.
00:05:21
And then out of every single axe that I threw that day, that was the most perfect.
00:05:25
Acstic in the entire canvas.
00:05:27
I mean, it could not have been better for just reality TV show in general history.
00:05:34
So it was great.
00:05:35
So you mentioned will, you know, kind of egging on Maria Grace there.
00:05:41
I want to know a little bit more about your relationship with Will because, you know, we've heard a lot from the people that were really not feeling good about him being there.
00:05:51
But in last night's episode, we see you kind of strategizing with him.
00:05:55
Was this just out of, you know, convenience because he was the one with power.
00:05:59
Or did you have any intentions of working long term with Dr.
00:06:03
Will?
00:06:03
Definitely had intentions with working long term with Dr.
00:06:05
Will.
00:06:06
I mean, I didn't even really put him as my highest threat.
00:06:09
You know, we weren't necessarily an alliance, but he was sleeping in our dome.
00:06:14
So we had like our group had a lot more time to talk with them about things.
00:06:17
And I think that gave us just a little bit more of a leg up of trust.
00:06:20
And so he wanted to come to us figure out what he wanted to do.
00:06:23
And then kind of go talk to other people.
00:06:25
And you know, I just, I worked with them for that moment, right?
00:06:28
Maybe we're in the same alliance, but our common enemies aligned.
00:06:32
Neither of us were super fond of CK.
00:06:34
So we had a common enemy, which kind of meant we were going to be working together that day.
00:06:38
And I gave him an idea and he liked it.
00:06:40
So, um, so yeah, it was probably going to begin the great alliance and duo in relationship between us.
00:06:46
But unfortunately, the line sided that later that night.
00:06:51
Yeah.
00:06:52
Jenny wanted to know about your relationship with Dr.
00:06:54
Will.
00:06:55
But storm, I have to ask about this relationship with Maria Grace.
00:06:58
This showman to everyone's talking about it.
00:07:00
Do you think this was bad for your game?
00:07:02
Ultimately.
00:07:03
You know, I've been asked it a couple times.
00:07:05
And I really don't think it was because in my mind.
00:07:09
I'm thinking, OK, my lines is going to think and it generally was true.
00:07:13
I was probably just as low as mg if not more.
00:07:16
My lines are going to think, OK, this is a great opportunity for him to get information for mg.
00:07:20
And g's aligns is probably going to think the same thing.
00:07:22
So they're not going to have a big problem with it.
00:07:24
Both of us were not exactly stellar in any of the competitions.
00:07:27
So it's not like this was some sort of power duo that was just now working together.
00:07:32
So I think it kind of gave off a generally innocent thing.
00:07:35
Like, oh, that's real cute.
00:07:37
You know, look at them going and doing their little breakfast date and giggling with each other.
00:07:40
And they were going to be fine with it.
00:07:42
And I was hoping that it would just kind of turn into something that people don't really focus on as much.
00:07:46
Because they're like, oh, it's just mg just storm.
00:07:48
You know, they're just over there doing cute shit.
00:07:50
We can focus on the real threats of the game while we just kind of slipped to the very end.
00:07:55
So.
00:07:58
So you mentioned Dr.
00:08:02
Well is not at the.
00:08:03
And I know let's and we'll let Shepal ask more about Maria Grace because I know that he's he's not done with this.
00:08:09
But you know, you said that you didn't rank Dr.
00:08:12
Well the highest.
00:08:13
And so, you know, the discussion about seeing the family as a threat.
00:08:19
Obviously, you had a bit of a personal relationship with people in the in the family.
00:08:23
But what was the relationship with like the parental figures of the family and poverty and and David and and did you have any intentions of of going after them or did you see them as just kind of at an arms length through your personal relationships with mg and Dixon.
00:08:41
So I had conversations with David mostly about this and then at one point poverty as well, it wasn't exactly sharing camera, but I was an advocate for physically strong mentally strong experience people because I saw myself as a target for being physically strong.
00:08:57
So instead of me looking at these people that are really, really good at the game.
00:09:01
David, he's tall, he's strong, he's played survivor, although we didn't know that at the time.
00:09:05
I just generally looked physically capable poverty who's experienced player, Dr.
00:09:09
Wilson experienced player, letty who's just super tall athletic smart.
00:09:13
I can't say, oh, we need to get them out because they're like a threat because that's also saying we need to get me out because I'm a threat.
00:09:21
And so I tried to spin the narrative and make it seem like they were more of an ally.
00:09:25
And so I never really had any true issues with David or poverty or any of them at the beginning.
00:09:30
We're looking at people that we're trying to like snake around and make common enemies for the group so that everybody would be on the same side.
00:09:37
And I was going to try to do that week to week the week, just sort of mob mentality until I can do it anymore.
00:09:43
Yeah, staying on the family, I know you had relationships with Maria Grace, obviously even the parents, you say you were talking to David, but Dixon is the blindspot, it looks like, what do you think this went wrong?
00:09:54
What do you think happened and led to his decision to ultimately take you out of the game?
00:09:58
I thought about this obviously for a while and definitely today more so seeing the episode aired last night.
00:10:05
A lot of the time I don't really know how much I can change right because there's a couple things here.
00:10:09
I'm thinking maybe he didn't like that I swatted him in front of everybody.
00:10:13
Maybe it was like a little irritated by that.
00:10:16
I'm sort of embarrassing him.
00:10:17
That's the one thing I can think that I didn't do nice.
00:10:19
The true thing I think happened is he went to temple that night and he was going to give it a CK and then he won five million dollars was feeling on top of the world and said I want to do something big.
00:10:30
And so he just blindsided me and shocked frankly the world and made a big name for himself because I mean, honestly, you guys have your opinions, but in my mind,
00:10:40
this is one of the biggest episodes so far so.
00:10:43
Absolutely.
00:10:47
Absolutely.
00:10:48
Would you ever do reality TV again?
00:10:51
Like I feel like you were violently removed from the game this time.
00:10:54
Hell yeah, I would do more reality TV.
00:10:57
I loved it.
00:10:57
I mean, that was the that was the coolest experience of my entire life, you know, and I liked the athletic aspect of it right things like challenge survivor like I would love to do things like that.
00:11:07
I mean, there was also a showman's and I kind of liked having a little a little show extra show a little bit of romantic aspect so there's other shows.
00:11:14
I'm sure on NBC you guys have heard of like a love island and.
00:11:19
But I wouldn't exactly be opposed to so yeah, the whole entire TV world is super interesting and just the way production was set up and the law around it and it's a really cool deal.
00:11:29
So I would absolutely do more TV if they're interested in people to get out for.
00:11:34
Storm you mentioned, even in your like bio, but obviously the showman's piece was was something that you seemed prepared for.
00:11:44
But I feel like we we're seeing like a gamer starting to develop here.
00:11:49
So, you know, if you're if you're looking to do more TV, do you obviously like the love type show seemed like something that's really well suited to you.
00:11:59
Do you feel like you were just kind of starting to get your feet wet with with some of the social strategy type gaming and do you feel like that is actually an area you'd like to play get the chance to play something like this again.
00:12:11
Yes, absolutely and you know, I feel like I had a great social game, even with Dixon, I was really good to Dixon and everybody on the island I was generally friendly with.
00:12:20
You know, in the first few episodes, you didn't exactly see me talking to as many people because I was never risk.
00:12:24
I didn't need to go in a lobby for myself to be safe that night and I didn't want to exactly bug other people your table, so I kind of let other people do their thing.
00:12:32
And and then that was the first opportunity I had where I could actually like try and do something right I wasn't safe so.
00:12:38
I just started to work with will realize we had common alignments, you know, realized we wanted common things and and started to kind of work my magic and I had planned to sort of do that for the entire time,
00:12:49
but.
00:12:50
But yeah, unfortunately didn't hand out so I think my social game is definitely one of my stronger aspects though.
00:12:56
Oh yeah, seriously, it was it was impressive watching you kind of work your way into the middle, I know you said that you play other games you mentioned survivor, but then you mentioned love violin and i'm thinking storm we already have a showman what was what's the status,
00:13:09
which we knew Maria Grace as a right now.
00:13:12
I mean, I can bring Maria Grace with me and some say you know, look at things like that before and that was the first thing I thought of course, without revealing too much right because I want Maria Grace to speak for herself.
00:13:24
I may or may not have visited her in LA where she is moved she may or may not be coming to visit me in Austin air pretty soon, so you'll have to wait and see.
00:13:36
Definitely still in contact yeah, do you have any more questions?
00:13:41
No, I just, you know, I hope you had a really great experience and you know going out the way you did it is like a big blind side someone who is super in like a great spot it's got to be a compliment in a way,
00:13:54
so I just love to know if you feel really good about the experience in the game you played.
00:13:59
It was the most amazing experience in my life right like I don't have an issue with the game that I played I think that if it was a longer period of time I was there my game would have made more sense by no one else leave an episode for I'm able to try to do a little bit more in the first few episodes but but no I don't have any regrets i'm not regretful the Dixon one that looked through his eyes like one of the most crazy moments of his entire life so i'm really happy you got to experience that and and just that I was a part of the whole thing general.
00:14:28
So what else are you working on these days working people find you working a following on social media if they want to keep up with you.
00:14:34
Yeah, my Instagram is storm underscore Wilson SCRM underscore W I also when and then my tiktok's the same thing except there's a zero at the end.
00:14:44
Doing the boats on the weekends working on a little bit of digital content now trying to kind of get into the social fitness influencer world somebody told me that you should just start filming yourself doing these like people would like to see it and so that's what i've been doing for the last couple of weeks and hopefully you know maybe something comes from that but yeah that's that's it for now.
00:15:07
All right, I'm sure you'll get a lot of followers, I'm sure people are going to come to their magnetic man people are going to follow you off a cliff and hopefully to other reality shows and other ventures moving forward was going to pleasure talk it to you today.
00:15:19
