“Last season was definitely a transitional moment in myChallengeexperience,” she says.

I never expect to get the call back.

I’m most excited for people to see my growth in this journey.”

As for how this season went for her?

ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY: How did your experience last season change you coming into this season?

TULA"BIG T" FAZAKERLEY:Last season my mentality was slightly different.

Each time I play the game I understand a little bit better.

After your elimination onDouble Agents, what did you do to train differently for this season?

CT came down on you really hard last season about how you’re not ready for a final.

Did you take any of his training tips to heart for this season?

I most definitely took CT’s training tips to heart.

I have to push myself to this level out of my comfort zone.

CT’s training really pushed me to put myself outside of my own comfort zone physically.

That must have been tough.

Did you come into this season with any regrets or hard feelings towards CT or Amber [Borzotra]?

There was that feeling of like, “That’s my partner!”

[Laughs] Of course.

But at the reunion show CT and I had a great conversation.

We’ve entered this season on a very good note.

And we have a close friendship.

Do you ever think about what could have happened if you had trigger the final with CT instead?

Of course, I had that feeling of, my partner won and he won without me.

I wish I had stayed to the end.

That could have been me.

I was so happy for her.

And Amber’s a very strong runner so she put her work into winning that final.

What can you tease about who you get partnered up with at the start of this season?

Someone who’s physically strong and very intelligent.

I was like, “Wow, I keep getting to be partnered with incredible people.”

I’m very lucky.

[Laughs] I remember Kyle [Christie] being like, “How do you do it?!

You keep getting incredible partners.”

What can you reveal about how your game goes this season?

I think people will see sides to me that they hadn’t seen before in a good way.

I’m nervous but excited for the audience to get to know me even better.

[Laughs] Let’s just say it was averygood looking cast this season.

Sounds like someone might have caught your eye …

I mean, there were a lot of contenders.

One person, in particular, did catch my eye.

[Laughs] That was fun to experience that in the house.

Do you get caught in any rivalries this season?

However, it was very unexpected.

We had rivalries with romance, rivalries within their own alliances.

It was a lot.

I was very shocked.

And I have to say, I have become more competitive coming into my fourth season.

But whyLiesin the title?

And then having spoken to the cast after filming, I now completely understand why.

And I wish I knew what was going on during the time of filming.

I wish I got the memo, I played the game slightly differently.

[Laughs] But it’s all good.

The actual challenges look insane this season.

What was it like competing in these juiced-up dailies?

It was so intense, it was so crazy!

But it was so much fun.

It was so creative and imaginative and we’ve taken it to an upper level.

But I really did enjoy them … well, most of the challenges.

I mean, we will have to wait and see what happens with my fear of heights.

[Laughs] But that’s a whole other situation.

You would think that, yes.

[Laughs] That was what I was hoping.
