- Madam: “Cool, calm, and collected with grown-woman energy.”
- Zena: “Hmmm… I’m still buffering. Loading… 27%.”
- Christall: “Let me observe first.”
Christall Kay’s Insight
Christall was excited to meet the ladies but sensed some jealousy:
“I was very happy and excited to meet everyone… but I sensed that some of them were jealous. Mariam and Princess were nasty and ugly to me. I was totally shocked because I didn’t know them at all.”
Dr. Catherine Masitsa’s Reaction
Dr. C expressed her surprise upon seeing Zena:
“My initial reaction when I saw Zena arrive… was one of absolute, unadulterated shock. I was completely unprepared… I felt utterly unprepared, mentally or physically, to re-engage in the hostile, high-stakes combat we had left behind.”
Jojo Robinson’s Take
Jojo noted how the ladies looked just like they do on camera, reflecting:
“It was cool to see people you’ve watched on TV in person. Honestly, everyone was very much what I expected since I watched most of the seasons to prepare.”
Mariam Timmer’s Reflection
Mariam shared a more neutral first impression:
“I didn’t really have any strong first impressions; nothing negative at all. What I did notice was that a few of the ladies seemed to be walking on eggshells around me, based on how they perceived me from my show.”
