5 million {dollars}. That’s how a lot the Deal or No Deal Island group added to their financial institution with Dickson Wong taking over the temple. Much more stunning, although, was who he determined to ship dwelling after his mega-good deal: Storm Wilson, who’d been cheering him on (and even gave him a memorable pep discuss) the entire time.
In a shock transfer, Dickson went in opposition to his personal phrase (having advised Storm he was “good”) to take out the one who helped put him there. Storm helped persuade Dr. Will that Dickson was the best choice to place up in hopes of getting CK out, however that decision got here again to chunk him in an enormous approach. Not solely did it imply he was ousted from the sport, however he additionally needed to stroll away from his showmance with Maria-Grace nearly as quickly because it began.
So how did he really feel about that jaw-dropping turnabout? And the place does his romance with MG stand now? TV Insider caught up with Storm Wilson to seek out out.
Initially, how are you doing?
Storm Wilson: Fairly good, comparatively talking… not probably gonna win hundreds of thousands and hundreds of thousands of {dollars}, however apart from that small little element, doing fairly good.
About that, you advised Boston Rob within the aftershow that there was some technique to your showmance being developed, however did you find yourself catching actual emotions alongside the way in which?
We had a few moments in time…. I’m not allowed to speak about issues not aired.
However I’ll say that I might need gone to LA and visited her one or two occasions. She is likely to be coming to go to me in Austin one or two occasions. You’ll should see.
Because you guys have visited, do you’re feeling like there’s an opportunity it may change into critical? And if that’s the case, will you may have your honeymoon [on the island]?
… If we’re gonna have a honeymoon someplace, it’s in all probability gonna be someplace beachy.
Watching the episode, Dickson advised you that you simply’re good if you guys talked about him going into the temple. Did you may have any doubts in that second that he was telling the reality?
No, and I didn’t have doubts for extra than simply that. I imply, me and Dickson had been typically pals all through the present. He got here as much as me, we didn’t even see this actually on the present, however he’d come as much as me and was like, “Hey, we must be in alliance, da da da.” I used to be like, “Yeah, no downside, let’s do it.” And I meant it. The sandcastle problem, he was screwed. He had a tiny little case, and I let him be my associate. I ended up maintaining him secure there. He stated that I used to be secure with CK round. He says he’s gonna go for her. I used to be excited. I imply, I used to be ecstatic for him throughout that temple, and yeah, then obtained switched up on the finish, and I imply, no one noticed it coming.
Yeah, what was it like to observe your self when this episode aired? You’re giving him a pep discuss, you’re cheering for him greater than anyone. What’s it like to observe that?
I imply, I didn’t have regrets. A few individuals have requested me, “Hey, if you happen to may return in time, would you’re taking that away? Would you may have Dickson lose?” And I wouldn’t… I imply, you guys heard his story. That was in all probability one of many craziest experiences of his complete life. And it’s unlucky that that have resulted in my downfall. However even that being stated, I don’t assume I may take it away. His face lit up like a Christmas tree when he opened that case. So did ours.
Nicely, did you actually assume that he would ship CK dwelling?
Yeah, and it’s so did the entire complete island and so did the manufacturing group. Afterward, they’re like, “What the hell occurred, Storm? We had cameras zoomed in on CK, not you.” And I used to be like, “I don’t know. I don’t know what occurred.” And to be trustworthy, I don’t assume that he even went into that temple that night time considering he was going to take me out. Perhaps he did, and possibly that is just a few type of mastermind. I actually haven’t talked to him particularly about that. However I feel he had intentions to take CK out, after which he simply performed the craziest recreation of his life. He’s feeling good on high of the world, and he simply did one thing loopy. He made an enormous transfer.
I used to be questioning if, as a result of he admitted to being sort of like a fame follower with Parvati and David, possibly Dr. Will had secretly gotten in his ear about it.
So, on the time, me and Will had been had been sort of sleeping in the identical dome, proper? We had been each in Blue Group. I’d began to sort of construct a relationship with him. We had been having a reasonably good time with one another, and I labored with Will that episode. He was like, “Look, I simply don’t need CK to be right here. I would like her gone.” And I used to be like, “Okay, effectively, we may in all probability put Dickson up ’trigger that received’t begin points with the household. If we will persuade Dickson to go up after which inform him that CK is attempting to gun for him, then we may in all probability get CK out and never put her up so you’ll be able to maintain your phrase together with her and everyone wins.” Now, I wasn’t precisely in opposition to Dickson staying and taking part in longer, but when it meant that my alliance is gonna be in a greater spot, then, I imply, I used to be gonna do it.
Are you prepared to just accept him coming to go to you want he stated he would after that?
Completely not! On the very finish, possibly if a while had passed by, he reached out to me after the present and was like, “Hello, it’s only a recreation, no matter.” However instantly?! Instantly after saying, “Hey, I got here right here to play an enormous recreation, make massive strikes. Storm, hit the highway,” to come back as much as me to have the audacity to be like, “Hey, don’t even fear about it. I’m gonna come go to you. We’re gonna have an excellent time again there on the mainland.” Loopy to me, completely mind-boggling to me the place he obtained that from. However all that to be stated, I don’t hate Dickson, proper? It’s a recreation. I’m not leaping up and down to purchase a aircraft ticket to come back in and go to me, however I don’t have any true points with him, regardless. Nonetheless a reasonably loopy assertion.
If you left, who had been you rooting for and who did you assume was in the most effective place to win?
Clearly, I used to be rooting a bit of bit for MG. I had a private smooth spot for her, though I didn’t see MG as an enormous risk within the recreation. I didn’t essentially assume she’d have an opportunity, however I had different folks that thought had been gonna win extra that I cared about and I had invested curiosity in. They usually didn’t present it however proper as I used to be hugging Lete goodbye, I whispered in her ear, and I stated, “You’ll be able to win this whole factor. Please go win this whole factor.” As a result of she’s true, she’s trustworthy, proper? She has all of our backs. She was extremely loyal and I feel she had simply not even the bodily, however the grit and willpower to take it to the very finish. So I advised her that proper earlier than I left and hopefully it pans out.
