“The Household” has misplaced its first member on Deal or No Deal Island. On Tuesday’s (February 4) newest episode, “Belief Fall,” host Joe Manganiello pulled a quick one on the contestants when he revealed after they paired up that they’d be taking part in in opposition to one another as an alternative of in lockstep through the every day problem.
Sadly for Maria-Grace Cook dinner, that meant that she needed to contend along with her show-dad, David Genat, and when he received the every day, she was in competition for elimination.
As soon as Dr. Will Kirby sabotaged his personal recreation, although, MG gave the impression to be fairly secure. In any case, he’d already been pushing for Courtney Kim a.okay.a. CK to be ousted when Dickson Wong received in opposition to the banker, so it stood to cause he’d go after her himself when given the possibility. Solely, secret offers have been made (with Seychelle Cordero and Alexis Lete, it appears) for Will to oust MG as an alternative. And when his technique of choosing instances in numeric order, beginning with one, paid off by touchdown him an excellent deal, he adopted by means of on that promise.
So how did she really feel about being despatched residence so unexpectedly? Has she forgiven Dr. Will but? And the place does her showmance with Storm Wilson stand right now? TV Insider caught up with Maria-Grace Cook dinner to seek out out!
I needed to start out simply with the plain. I do know Storm talked about it just a little final week, however the place do you guys stand now, in your opinion?
Maria-Grace Cook dinner: Yeah, he’s actually nice. He’s been very supportive of me. Numerous issues have modified since I left the island. I moved to LA, and he did come go to me, and we acquired to have some real-world talks. I don’t plan on visiting Austin anytime quickly. It’s very a lot up within the air. I believe we’re actually nice associates, however that’s just about how it’s. He’s very superior.
So within the recreation, whenever you guys have been sort of in your showmance, did you ever contemplate bringing him into the alliance?
Really, we did. There was one night time that we have been sitting on the hammock on the island, and he was sort of in Dr. Will’s alliance. Dr. Will got here down and was like, “Ask her, ask her,” and he by no means ended up asking me to be in his alliance, however that was within the plans additional down the street if we have been to remain in.
With “The Household” alliance, what made you belief Parvati and David a lot?
Properly, one, David was in my tent, and, Sydney [Peck] was in our tent as properly. So I believe we each bonded over simply disliking her. So then after she left, it was me, La Shell, and David. So we simply acquired alongside very well. We’re laughing, we’re all the time with one another and so they don’t present that as a lot as we actually are. So I linked with him routinely. I favored Parvati, however I knew she was just a little sketchy, however I sort of acquired grandfathered into it simply because David was my primary.
Do you know both of them have been actuality stars whenever you teamed up with them?
No concept about David. I believe that’s very apparent from my clips, however I did sort of learn about Parvati. I by no means watched something about her, however I bear in mind seeing her on stuff. So I did method her like one of many first days and mentioned, “I do know who you’re.” After which she was like, “Actually?” And he or she sort of instructed me greater than she ought to have; she’s like, “Oh, you understand that I received Survivor.” And I used to be like, “Yeah,” which I didn’t know on the time. After which I later conveyed to David…
What do you suppose Dickon’s technique was in taking Storm out, realizing that you just guys have been shut?
I don’t suppose there was any technique behind it. I honestly suppose he received, he beat the banker the most effective you could possibly ever beat them, and it was simply insane, the entire aura within the room. We have been all so ecstatic. All the pieces was going loopy, and I believe he might have been jealous, I’m undecided, after which simply appears to be like at Storm and goes, “I’m gonna make an enormous transfer, Storm.” After which he acquired the response everybody needed. Everybody blew up in his face, which didn’t achieve this dangerous for him up to now as a result of the subsequent particular person out was me.
Have been you shocked that Seychelle and Lete have been in Will’s ear like attempting to avoid wasting CK and sacrifice you?
That truly was probably the most stunning half. Seychelle is likely one of the funniest folks I do know.
3:25: She’s truly coming to LA Sunday, and we’re getting dinner collectively. She is nice. It’s very arduous for me to separate personally from the sport as a result of it personally hurts me, and I watched that final night time and I used to be texting her like, “What the hell?” … She’s like, “I’m sorry my candy candy angel, however we simply needed to.” However that was probably the most stunning half.
Lete, we weren’t in an alliance in any respect. She did truly come to me and say, “If you wish to play the banker tonight, I’ll allow you to,” which in hindsight… hindsight is all the time 20/20. I ought to have mentioned, “Oh, I’ll play,” however I let Will.
Have been you shocked by Will’s like case choosing technique? What was he doing?
Sure, I believe everybody was not likely shocked trigger it’s antics that Dr. Will would do, however we have been extra simply dreading. We have been all sitting there — and the temple takes a really very long time to movie — and we have been sitting there like, “That is torture,” banging our heads on the wall. You might see me at one level leaning down on the bottom like [head] in my knees, like, “Please make it cease.” However that’s what he needs. He needs everybody to be sad as a result of then he can have management.

Clearly he’s making a lightning rod of himself on function. Did anybody truly like him?
I don’t suppose so. On the island, nobody did. They simply sort of put up with him as a result of we all the time knew like he didn’t care to go up in opposition to the bankers. So I believe that’s why they aligned with them as a result of they’re like, “Oh, straightforward, he’ll go up in opposition to the banker after which take out who we would like if he wins. If not, he leaves and nobody cares.” So I don’t suppose they actually favored him.
You mentioned you’ve forgiven Seychelle. Have you ever forgiven Dr. Will? I do know he apologized to you.
Oh sure, I’ve forgiven him. It’s been arduous, however he purchased me a pleasant bottle of champagne and flowers, after which my favourite deal with is Rice Krispie treats. So he acquired me like 50 Rice Krispie treats. He’s like, “I’m so sorry.” So sure, I’ve forgiven him, however watching it again damage. It hurts.
While you left, who have been you rooting for on the time?
Truthfully, even I didn’t know all that stuff had occurred with Seychelle, I believed she was so humorous. We didn’t have any strategic gameplay, however similar to personally, I used to be laughing the entire time on the island. She’s hilarious, so I’m actually rooting for Seychelle.
And who did you suppose had the most effective likelihood of profitable?
I actually had no clue. Each single day it modified. After getting off the island and realizing David was a Survivor participant, I used to be like, “Oh, nobody on the island is aware of that.” In order that could possibly be an excellent likelihood, however with out realizing that I had no clue.
Who did you suppose was left with the most important goal on them after what occurred to you?
I believe Will all the time had a goal on him, however I believe him getting somebody out of The Household. Most likely the remainder of the household. I imply, I believe any of them now they don’t have numbers, so I believe any of them have a goal.
