We realize what it feels like to be studied.”

France wound up adoring the structures such a lot of that he and Chung every now and again ask to wear pieces that challengers have made. They haven’t yet worn them, notwithstanding, prodding that he was unable to discover them after the scene wrapped. “I think the makers began to get an understanding that Alexa and I would turn out to be little hoodlums on the show, attempting to take stuff that we were fixated on. So when the scene was finished, we never observed those things again. They were exceptionally stealthy in light of the fact that they realized how stealthy we were,” they says.

“We don’t wear something except if we love it. … There’s a camel suit that I was fixated on — me and Alexa both took a stab at during recording,” they clarifies. “You see me in it on camera. You don’t see her in it on camera.
