Hi everyone! Welcome back to the Whitterview for the 60th interview! Can't believe it.
I am so excited to introduce you to this weeks interview-ee. Still to this day one of my favorite past contestants from MTV's The Challenge: Thomas Buell.
We first met Thomas on The Real World: Ex-Plosion and from there he made his appearance on three seasons of The Challenge. His first season was The Challenge: Battle of the Exes 2.
This week, you'll get to know Thomas and about his time on TV.
So I am pleased to introduce you to: THOMAS BUELL!
Tell me about you!
TB: So I grew up in North Texas, was born a twin in Dallas, and my parents divorced early. Mom lived in Denton and dad in Fort Worth. I lived with my mom for 12 years and then moved to my dads. Lived there until I went to college. In college got on reality TV, did that for a couple of years, and then I went back and got my degree. After that I got a job for a local television station in Dallas, and that is what I do now.
Growing up did you ever think you’d get into reality TV?
TB: Other than winning most likely to be on a reality tv show my senior year in highschool, I never thought about it.
Tell me about your time on the Real World:
TB: My Real World season was the first season where they added a twist. The original cast came in and got settled, coupled up, and went on a long weekend to a lake. When we got back, most of our exes had moved in. Obviously it was a little bit of a shit show for awhile, and slowly most of the exes left the house. In the end, most of us are friends, and I still stay in contact with a couple of them from the show.
Which was your favorite season of The Challenge to be on?
TB: My favorite season was Bloodlines simply because my brother got to do it with me. I wanted him to experience it.
If you got to go on The Challenge again who would you like to have as a partner? Male and female.
TB:
-Male: I mean to me Cory would be really cool, simply because I think he is physically a beast, and I think I am pretty smart and politically savvy. We would be a strong team.
-Female: Cara would be great because I think she is physically gifted, but really any female taller than 5ft and somewhat smart about the political side of the game.
What was your favorite Challenge (game) to compete in?
TB: I am not sure what it was called, but honestly my elimination against Cohutta. It was really fun. The only elimination I decided my own fate. He is known in his own right, so it was nice to beat him for my one and only elim win. My other elims, my brother lost, my ex lost, and I went home because of another ex...
Sidenote: the elimination was called Squaring Off and Thomas killed it.
What are you up to now? Will we ever see you back on TV?
TB: I currently work for a local television station in Dallas. Living my life. I won't say no, but I doubt I will be asked to comeback on the show.
If you could be on any other reality show which would it be?
TB: I would want to really only be on The Challenge, or Big Brother. If I was single, Bachelor, Ex on the Beach, Love Island...any of those would be a fun experiment.
What’s something people may not know about you?
TB: People may not know that I am actually pretty smart and athletic.
If you could have dinner with three people who would they be and why?
TB:
1) M. Night Shyamalan; he is my favorite filmmaker and I would like to know what makes him think the way he does
2) Serena Williams; I am a tennis fan, and would want to know what it is like to be arguably the most dominate and greatest player ever.
3) David Blaine; Just to find out how he does his magic tricks
And finally, who is your celebrity crush?
TB: Probably Kate Beckinsale, but there are so many beautiful women out there it is a hard choice.
