With regards to rotten luck within the temple, Rock Carlson’s flip takes the cake on Deal or No Deal Island. In Tuesday night time’s episode, the corrections officer (who cosplayed as a landscaper) confronted the banker and took three of the million-plus-dollar instances off the board straight away by selecting numbers related together with his beloved relations. He later informed aftershow host Boston Rob Mariano that this was really an excellent factor for him, however finally, it did imply that he was given lowball affords that had been far lower than the $1.325 million case he had in his proverbial pocket.
This was the second time Rock was on the underside after a problem — final time, he was partnered with Sydnee Peck, who additionally went residence after placing on an emotional fireworks present — however, like others earlier than him, going through the banker meant controlling his destiny. So how does he really feel about the way it all went down ultimately? TV Insider caught up with Rock Carlson to seek out out.
Within the second problem, you had been paired with Sydnee Peck, and she or he had an emotional episode, to say the least. Do you assume that having these outbursts might need put a goal in your again together with her habits?
Rock Carlson: I feel it put a goal on my again due to her being a defend and [others] preserving her. I don’t assume there was some other motive in addition to that, let me inform you… You’re gonna ask me questions on that factor that transpired or something like that, however I’ll simply inform you, that was the rationale why I didn’t wish to play the banker together with her as a result of the poor factor was simply not in the proper thoughts, let me inform you. And I used to be like, “No means. I imply, how one can decide?” I simply didn’t see it. And the opposite factor was, on our map, I gotta inform you, I feel she was a little bit at first upset as a result of she felt that David [Genat] burned her as a result of he picked Dickson [Wong to be his partner]…. That’s sort of when it began, the poor factor. And I feel that that’s when it escalated. However she had our map, and she or he was like, “Right here, take a look at mine,” and I used to be like, “S**t, present me yours, I’ll present you mine!” … I imply, what’s occurring? Come on. However anyway, it was powerful. It was actually powerful. And I hope every part’s good for her.
You informed Boston Rob within the after present that you simply knew who Parvati [Shallow] was straight away. What went into your choice to hide that you simply knew?
Properly, to start with, you don’t allow them to out of the bag, and also you don’t know who to goddang belief. I imply, significantly, like I used to be saying earlier than, you step on that goddang island, it’s like leaping into the Jungle Ebook. I imply, you see all this s**t throughout you, and never solely does every part within the jungle wanna kill you, goddang all of the casts wanna kill you, too. So look, I had my age, I stated it was 59, I’m practically 65 — I’m 66 now — I informed him about landscapers, so I attempted to low-key all that. So I didn’t want one other goal on my again as a result of robotically that’s what you’re gonna do. And I needed to additionally see who knew or who didn’t know and the way they had been gonna pair up and who was in whose automotive. So I didn’t wish to out it … I noticed her from the airport all the way in which. And when Dr. Will [Kirby] popped her, I used to be like, “Oh God, right here it comes.” I’m like, “Now the drama is gonna [start,] and I can chill and watch.
Did you additionally know who David was?
Not a clue. Not a clue about David. I knew he was one thing due to the actual fact he stated he modeled and all this different stuff, however simply the way in which he walked round on the island, the place he stood earlier than the competitions, carrying his sandals and stuff. I imply, David’s an important man. Don’t get me unsuitable. I imply, however he was only one that I couldn’t fairly put any kind of something on. I couldn’t determine it out. However that was why I got here in low — I imply, actual low — beneath the radar as a result of my entire factor, even in actual life, I watch every part. I analyze every part, and I gotta be right earlier than I take a shot since you miss, you’re gone ,and in contrast to different sport reveals, you don’t get voted out. You don’t get picked to do one thing. It’s you’re all on this group with Girl Luck in your aspect. So, I didn’t actually wish to become involved with anyone till I actually might determine anyone out.
What do you assume the technique was for CK [a.k.a. Courtney Kim] in focusing on you and Alexis Lete?
I feel Parvati needed me out to maintain a much bigger defend, which was Sydnee. After which I feel she acquired ousted by the truth that CK [talked to her]. Properly, what I did was … I believed every part was cool, proper? And Parvati informed me, “Hey, I’m actually sorry that I cut up your case, blah, blah, blah.” And CK, I noticed her in her ear on a regular basis. So, the opposite factor, although, proper earlier than this… I might see one thing was going. The opposite aspect of me was, “They’re gonna cut up me since you acquired two of the ladies subsequent to me,” Seychelle [Cordero] and La Shell [Wooten], and if both of them play the banker, my large previous mulligan’s gonna stroll with out each enjoying the banker, appear like an entire dump truck on that present. So, I believed I used to be in cahoots, however I wasn’t certain. And in all actuality, I didn’t give a rat’s a**. Hey, you bought a goal in your again, it’s a sport present, do what you gotta do… I used to be on the point of stroll over to leap into that dialog, however I didn’t know if it was particularly about me. I sort of thought it was, however then Joe [Manganiello, host] says, “Parvati, let’s go. Who you gonna cut up?” In order that’s the way it occurred.

So when Parvati apologized, you didn’t consider any of that, proper?
No, I believed she was overlaying it up due to the truth that she needed to — all people desires to [have] — a giant goal to remain in entrance of [them], a defend. So I considered it — and by the way in which, me wiping my face and all that s**t was that godd**n humidity. I imply, I haven’t skilled something like that earlier than. However yeah, I actually thought it was a canopy up. After which afterward, I imply, CK and her speaking after which she flipped the script again to CK. So, yeah.
It doesn’t matter. I like them each. They’re nice rivals, and I like all people on the forged. I imply, like I stated, all of them speak a lot godd**n s**t I didn’t know whether or not to go out breath mints or rest room paper to maintain the s**t from coming onto their chest, man — together with myself! However anyway.
That’s so humorous. Who would you might have eradicated if you happen to did win within the temple?
Properly, first, let me say, I wasn’t gonna inform anyone goddang nothing as a result of I didn’t know — watching actuality TV, you by no means know if you happen to’re gonna carry your completely satisfied a** again in after you swiftly begin flapping in your s**, proper? So, I wasn’t gonna say nothing to no one, and I actually didn’t know. Honestly, Parvati was secure, OK? I might have most likely tried to take a stab as a result of I knew Dr. Will. I believed possibly I’d come again in and play with Dr. Will. So I feel it was most likely gonna be Seychelle due to the truth that I by no means actually talked to her, apart from one time when she was exhibiting me all about these little crabs, however they didn’t present it. She knew every part about these d**n crabs, man, and was giving me this one on the crabs. It was most likely one of many solely instances that I actually talked to her… Like she says, “You already know, I ought to have talked to Yosemite Sam.” Child woman, come on, man. Simpleton my a**, she simply doesn’t know me. However the factor was, was afterwards, it was like, “What did you guys speak about?” I stated, “Oh, it was all she schooled me down on all about these crabs.” However I stated, “I don’t wish to know nothing about crabs.” I imply, I had sufficient of that s**t again in school days. I don’t need nothing to do with them crabs.
How certain had been you that you simply had the massive cash within the case, and do you want you’ll have simply ignored the others and made the choice you needed to?
OK, to start with, the others by no means had any affect over me in any respect. No person might strain Rock Canine. Nothing. Consider me. I imply, I’m a shark. I do my very own factor. I don’t swim in a college of fish, man. One turns, all of them go, that’s not me, man. So I had no downside with it, however I’ll inform you this. There have been three numbers left, okay? And quantity 11 was for my brother, he handed away in November. 7:57: I take a look at the celebs, I’m exterior. It was my sport. Plus with the 75 p.c statistics to do it… however the different two numbers had been like my mother and pop, in order that group continues to be lit. So I couldn’t have lived with myself and the way in which I like my household greater than something on the earth, to do one thing to attempt to put cash on the board or take me one other step additional. There’s no freaking means. I’m not doing that. Now, you’ll be able to say, “You freaking p***y” or no matter this s**t, “You play a horrible sport.” I don’t give a rat’s a** what they are saying. It was my sport and I knew I had it, and that’s why I stated, “Im gonna take one for the workforce,” as a result of I knew. And in addition in my interviewing, I informed him, “Anyone ain’t placing cash up on the board, they should go residence.” So I put cash on the board, stored my dignity, performed my sport. Took my completely satisfied ass out of there…. And I’m not doing Bare and Afraid. That was simply what I threw out to to get amusing, man.
How do you know that was my subsequent query was, “Have you ever had any bites on the following actuality endeavor?”
Oh, right here we come, you understand. No, no, no, no, no, no, no. Hey, I’m a thin dipper and all that different s**t, however “Free Willy?” I don’t find out about that s**t. However anyway, yeah, I can’t depend it out as a result of I don’t like all closed doorways in any respect. By no means, by no means, by no means no closed doorways. And that was one factor I used to be making an attempt to be: an inspiration to others, regardless of your age or anyone else telling you, “You’ll be able to’t do it, you’ll be able to’t do it.” It makes you wish to do it much more.
