The three finalists for Vacation spot X‘s $250,000 money prize have been revealed, and Shayne Cureton simply missed the boat. Nicely, he didn’t truly miss the boat, since he did get to spend his last day on a yacht in Monaco, however following the ouster of his then-showmance companion Ally Bross, his alliance with Christian “Biggy” Bailey got here again to chunk him … and ship him dwelling.
On Tuesday’s latest episode — titled, “How’s Your Poker Face?” — Shayne discovered himself in The Rock metropolis alongside fellow Prime 4 contestants Biggy, Rick Szabo, and Peter Weber, and none of them knew precisely the place they had been.
Host Jeffrey Dean Morgan took them out to a mountainous countryside that might’ve simply as simply been in america’ wild, wild West as Western Europe. There, they performed a recreation the place they had been every handled to a field with a coded clue that left all of them extra confused than earlier than. (Because it turned out, artichokes, golf balls, ring containers, and mini shovels had been meant to point the symbols on a deck of playing cards and evoke ideas of casinos.) Shayne and Biggy determined to share, whereas Rick and Peter exchanged notes as nicely. Maybe not surprisingly, Biggy additionally shared his clue with Rick, and Rick handled him to a misdirect in trade.
Quickly after, they had been requested to all go into the map room and select their location, with Shayne furthest off base with a guess of Milan. That wasn’t the tip of the story, although, as they then bought an opportunity to play roulette and transfer both their very own or others’ X marks round. In the long run, Shayne determined to do Biggy a stable by transferring his X nearer to the mark, which put them in a tie, however Biggy ended the sport with the ultimate benefit and moved his spot nearer to Monaco, thus leaving Shayne furthest out.
So how did Shayne really feel about his destiny? And what else did he should say in regards to the season — significantly, his temporary on-air romance with Ally and friendship with Biggy? TV Insider caught up with him to seek out out!
How was it so that you can rewatch the present and a few of the extra emotional moments you had, significantly with Ally?
Shayne Cureton: Nicely, I imply, now, trying again, it made me query just a few issues, simply in regards to the seriousness — and, you already know, [I] love Ally to loss of life. I don’t suppose we bought deep sufficient to the place it was like it will fully destroy our world, so I believe that’s what permits us to nonetheless be buddies. But it surely makes you query what was actually true, and I attempt to not suppose too deep on it. She’s comfortable, I’m comfortable. Issues occur for a purpose.
Final week, she informed me that you just guys had been pleasant sufficient that she was coming to go to you in Indianapolis. Is that true?
Yeah, yeah, yeah. So there’s her and Mack [Fitzgerald] are gonna come do their beneath the covers and hopefully Biggy. Hopefully, Biggy pulls up with them, in order that’s a possible.
Talking of Biggy, after what occurred within the earlier episode in Venice, what made you wish to belief him once more on this one?
From the start, we had an settlement: “I’m your bulletproof vest so long as you get me by way of.” And that’s how we’ve form of rocked with the whole lot. All of the clues I get, I used to be capable of choose up or get from anyone else, I shared with Biggy. He made positive that I by no means went right into a map room blind, exterior of … we had been in Germany, we didn’t have an entire lot of time to speak, and I figured I had the reply from Ally, which we had been each unsuitable. So yeah, so long as issues performed the best way that they performed… It’s robust. He gave me a dagger, however I informed him to do this. Lots of people don’t know as a result of I needed to verify — you’ll be able to’t give your self daggers. So I needed to be sure that if Ally was getting attacked, I’m no less than gonna even this out. ‘Trigger if I might have solely had two, it will have been me and Biggy that had been secure mechanically. And I didn’t know they had been gonna permit Biggy to decide on, however in hindsight, we may have taken that a bit of in another way, however yeah, trusting Biggy, I trusted him the entire recreation. He made positive, even with the danger of Mack going dwelling, that I used to be good.
Have been you conscious of how in cahoots Rick and Peter had been in direction of the tip there?
Oh, in direction of the tip? As quickly as he bought on the bus, I’d been attempting — and I like my man Biggy… It sucks I gotta say this in each interview, however I informed him from Leap, “Bro, they’re working collectively, they’re speaking for means too lengthy on the bus.” There’s information that’s being recognized that — I’m speaking to JaNa, and she or he’s fairly on the market however will let you know the reality, you already know what I’m saying? She was simply form of, “I suppose that is my alliance. I’m on the market with who I’m tied to.” However the issues she was saying … it confirmed that their alliance lacked sure information. After which unexpectedly that they had it, and it was like, “No, this will’t be proper.” And I attempted to inform Biggy, and that’s why later within the recreation, particularly on the horseback problem, “I’m gonna simply allow you to speak, bro. As a result of we’ve tried to speak about this. You’re telling me he’s not. You’re giving me the information, so I’m gonna simply respect it. I’ll allow you to shoot your self within the foot in a way.”
All through the season, it appeared like individuals underestimated you. If you’re watching again the issues they might say about your means to play the sport, however you made it this far, do you are feeling such as you proved them unsuitable?
Oh, yeah, I imply, actually the social facet ended up being the explanation why a few of these good gamers had been not within the recreation. So it’s like, yeah, I may have had all of the data, but when I might have had essentially the most data, would I’ve made it that far? I might have been headhunted. What would have been the outlook then? Peter’s choice to ship Mack dwelling was a particularly good move, but it surely simply confirmed that in case you had been coming off too good, one thing like this occurs, you’re on the chopping block.
Completely. Digging into this episode, you moved Biggy’s X again to the place yours was. Figuring out what you already know now, do you will have regrets about that?
Nope. Some issues truly occurred in that episode that might have fueled that, however now I used to be rocking [with him] to the tip. I might not be there if it wasn’t for Biggy.

If you say issues that occurred, are you speaking about him giving Rick his clue?
Nicely, I imply, yeah, a whole lot of issues simply all through. I don’t get too deep, however..
Gotcha. Trying again on the season, what was your favourite problem and why?
Oh, that’s a toughie. I might say my favourite problem most likely must be… I appreciated the maze problem. Clearly, I gained, however that was enjoyable working by way of it after which form of seeing the variations… popping out profitable each single checkpoint was like, “Oh yeah!” We had been flying by way of there. Favourite one to observe, although, was positively this final — or no, I’d say quantity eight.
You talked about Ally, Mack, and Biggy. Who else do you retain up with from the forged?
I attempt to sustain with Jonah right here and there… I really feel like me and Biggy and Ally and Mack form of made — we had time after the present as nicely, all of us linked. I want I may say extra, however Tai was there. After which her interviews began popping out, and it was like, “Shorty, what?” It simply form of threw us for a loop. So after that, it was like, “All proper, we’re not cool no extra, simply since you’re in your mendacity.”
How was it attending to spend time in Venice and Monaco as in comparison with a few of the different cities, and did you get to do something after you left the yacht?
No, so, I didn’t get to do an excessive amount of after I left the yacht. They be sure that no one sees you. They had been very safe on ensuring that you just had been actually separated from the sport itself earlier than you even bought your telephone earlier than something like that. [As for Venice], oh my God, that was [great]. I imply, not attending to expertise actually another place exterior of [that] and outdoors of the Swiss problem… I don’t suppose there was another telling problem. It was simply, you’re simply in a spot. I imply, even the horseback problem regarded like Arizona — we had no concept. So with the ability to truly get out, expertise the individuals, get a haircut, do all that with Ally, it was simply good form of truly with the ability to choose up tradition.
If you left, who had been you rooting for?
Oh, my man Biggy, in fact. In fact. Man, anyone however Rick.
