Gabe Wai in Whitterview 84

Well, well, well… look at that. Back again so soon... Who is she??  It’s only been two weeks since my last post, which in Whitterview time is basically responsible, consistent, thriving behavior. But let’s not pretend this is about me. This time, I’m chatting with none other than Gabe Wai, a contender from the most recent season of MTV's The Challenge: filmed all the way in Chile, full of strategy, chaos, and yes… extremely strong Taurus energy that came from Gabe. Oh, and here’s a fun tidbit: Gabe’s biggest fear? Birds. And I quote: “I hate birds with a passion. I can’t do them, if they’re in the road I will walk around them. I can’t stand them!” So buckle up. I asked alllll the questions and got alll the answers. I am excited to introduce to you, former bird fearing, WWE superstar and latest Rookie Challenger... Gabe! Tell me about you! GW : I grew up in Corvallis, Oregon originally, but was adopted at the age of two from Guatemala. As I was growing up, I grew away from my pare...

Yeremi Hykel in Whitterview 83

.. I swear I’ve been meaning to post.  Truly. Cross my heart. Pinky promise. But somehow “I’ll post tomorrow” turned into “what month is it again?” And yet… here we are. Welcome back to the Whitterview!   Yes, it’s been quiet. Suspiciously quiet. But that’s because I’ve been in the lab: listening, learning, watching, lurking (professionally), and tracking down the next stars I want to sit down and have a conversation with. And while I’ve been away? A brand new season of The Challenge dropped. Season 41: Vets & New Threats. And today? Oh honey, we’re not just talking about any new threat. We’re talking about a new threat who walked in… made noise… and made a come back from behind, WIN.  I am beyond excited to introduce you to Yeremi Hykel: From The Amazing Race to The Challenge , and now officially in his champion era. And the first contestant from TAR to win The Challenge! So lets get to it, shall we? IN-TRO-DUCING Yeremi!  ---- Tell me about you! YH:...

Sylvia Elsrode Lira in Whitterview 82

 ... Test! Test! Is this thing on??  My goodness, its been just a little over a year since my last interview. I can't believe that. I always promised myself I'd make it to 100 of these, and we are one more closer. If you are new here, hi, welcome to the Whitterview. The Whitney/Interview, with the stars, athletes, musicians, influencers.  I am so excited to be back and for my first interview back to be someone I've watched on TV for years. Someone I've always loved who tells it straight, who doesn't mess around, and who is just beautiful. She has such a good heart and I am so happy to have you our reader learn about the beautiful Sylvia Elsrode/Lira from MTV's The Challenge.  Sylvia has completed three seasons of The Challenge (one of which she saw a final and came in 2nd) and two seasons of The Challenge All Stars.  Between the five seasons total, she has five daily wins and has seen eight eliminations (only losing three!)  Before The Challenge, Sylvia fir...

Monte Taylor in Whitterview 79

Well, well, well. Did you miss me?  Since the last you've heard from me, I've been watching my shows, catching up on episodes and starting new shows.  Between the last few months, the new season of The Challenge USA aired on CBS. Its in its second season.  Getting the idea of who may be this weeks guest? I'll give you a hint. He was also a runner up on a different show.  Alright, one more hint, the show was: Big Brother.

Susie Evans in Whitterview 78

   Happy Monday! Do you know what day it is? It’s Bachelor Monday! What better way to celebrate then with one of my and Americas favorite contestant from last season. Having a mind blank and can’t remember last season? Well last Bachelor season was with Clayton as the lead. Clayton ended up proposing to Susie Evans which she rejected. She was the first one in the shows history to reject the lead. ICONIC!  Did that refresh your memory?  Also the fact that her and I have the same celebrity crush - Michael B Jordan? Now that’s iconic!  Well this week I’m excited for you all to meet Bachelor 26 contestant: Susie Evans.  That’s right, that Iconic Susie!  Tell me about you! SE: I was born in Virginia Beach and lived there until I was 9, then moved to a small coastal town called Poquoson where I mostly grew up. I have two amazing parents that I feel I owe every ounce of good that I am, to them. My mom always taught me about the power of having a healthy and p...

Kyland Young in Whitterview 77

   Happy Wednesday, folks! Once again it’s Challenge day. Recently The Challenge did a spinoff on Paramount Plus called The Challenge USA with fan favorites from other reality shows that came together and competed. This brings me to this weeks Whitterview guest, who was not only on the first season of The Challenge USA but was previously on Big Brother and a member of the well known alliance The Cookout. That’s right, Kyland Young is on the Whitterview this week. I have to say, my fellow Cancer zodiac was such a delight to get to know. Honestly hands down one of the most caring guys and I’m so excited for you all to get to know him too. Kyland said he has always heard good things about Cancer like they’re sweet and Kyland really is. The epitome of a Cancer.  So why don’t we get to it. I’m pleased to introduce Kyland! Growing up did you think you’d get into reality TV? KY: No, absolutely did not think this would happen. Growing up I never watched reality tv, I’ve only seen...

Chauncey Palmer in Whitterview 76

Happy Challenge Day Wednesday!! If you don’t know what that means, then why are you reading this? Kidding… kind of. But MTVs the Challenge airs on Wednesdays and this season it’s all about the Ride or Dies. The partners in crime. And this week I have one of this seasons contestants. He started out this season with his Ride or Die/ girlfriend Amber as his partner, but now the season has switched into teams and he is on Team Fessy. We’ve seen this team win the last two challenges. So this week on the Whitterview I’m pleased for you all to get to know Rookie Chauncey Palmer. I hope we get more opportunities to see Chauncey next season and for seasons to come. He came to play and that’s what I’m here for! Let’s get to it. I’m pleased to introduce to you… Chauncey! Tell me about you: CP: I'm from Boston Massachusetts. I grew up in a beautiful household with two sisters (me being the middle child) and my parents. My family loves animals so we also had dogs, bunnies, lizards & many ...

I hope to make this a little more often instead of every few months. I have a few great interviews coming up and I’m so excited to start out with this one I’m about to bring to you.  Tonight, you’ll get to know someone from the golf world.
