One ofThe Challenge’smost legendary playersis finally back and he’s got something to prove.
is making his highly-anticipated return withDouble Agents.
“It’s been a while, I know,” Taylor tells EW with a laugh.
MTV
“Feels like ages!”
And, he reveals, he’s actually been ready to appear in every season since then.
“I’m always available.
MTV
But they just never pulled the trigger.”
That’s been a trend for Taylor the past five seasons.
“Which was fine, it never really bothered me too much.
I guess they just pulled the trigger this year, and it was perfect timing.
Because if you beat yourself up?
That was my No.
Then I can relax a little bit.
Yeah, watching you go in the first episode inDirty 30was absolutely heartbreaking.I was in tears.
I was so mad!
So it was good that I calmed down and got my bearings back first [this time].
I always wondered what went wrong for you inDirty 30.
I dont think anyone saw that coming considering back then and even now!
I’m pretty sure he was not the only one who would have done that.
Because I’m a threat.
Everybody’s built different, and I’m more final-built.
I’m not really too good at the daily challenges unless they’re on the ground.
Unless they’re on my team!
Coming into this season I knew that I had a big target on my back.
I’m not in the loop.
And then before that it wasInvasion, and we already knew what was happening.
If you throw them in, you’re giving them a chance to run in the final.
It’s a good concept and I think they should keep it.
Now it makes people want to go in and they know they have to go in.
I hate to say that but it’s true.
It’s pretty crazy.
I don’t get it.
That was pretty exciting for me.
My whole goal was just not to be eliminated first.
[Laughs] To go out of the game first is theworstfeeling in the world.
That happened to me inFresh Meat II.
And then it happened inDirty 30.
“You don’t want him here!”
That was not working on my side.
I love Wes outside the game, but inside the game?
I cannot trust that guy.
They call him Rumplestiltskin, [laughs] do not believe anything he says.
Everybody knows the vets.
Every season the rookies come and the vets throw them in and keep throwing them in.
We kind of use the rookies as a scapegoat.
I was pretty paranoid.
Before he tries to come for me.
I can’t relax!”
He’s cool with everybody, so it’s kind of like, where do I stand?
I know he said I was his No.
1 so I trust him.
And then once I got settled in, I started to hang around theBig Brothercast a little bit.
So I’m pretty sure everybody felt like that with them.
These cats are not playing.
They are real cutthroat compared to how I used to play the game with other cast members.
Adding on the Big Brother people and Survivor, man, it has just changed a lot.
These people are straight-up cutthroat!
I’m talking about smiling in your face backstabbers.
Just how people vote will surprise you.
I was even shocked a lot of times by the people that were going in eliminations.
I don’t see a lot of stuff coming.
I thought I knew but I didn’t.
The season jumps off like, what?!
The premiere will follow two nights later.
