The Spanish and civic teacher started off the thread with a comment saying: "What a great experience! Everything past contestants have said is true — it’s an absolute whirlwind. Watching just to see the questions from this episode because I only remember a few of them. Here for any questions or feedback."
A fan responded, firstly congratulating him for being on the show and then asked a serious of questions concerning the taping of the show as well as Sean's experience watching the showing after his taping: "Congrats on making it onto the show! Did you stick around for the day's tapings? Did it feel weird seeing the other games before this one air on TV (since you knew that all the other champs had to have lost in order for Neilesh to be the returning champ)? Actually, come to think of it, were you an alternate for the previous taping day?"
"Hey there! I didn’t stick around — my family that I was with was a little antsy to explore LA Not an alternate, just pulled the short straw to go first for the filming days," Sean explained. "I actually didn’t watch recent episodes due to being out of the country for the last month, so I’ve followed on the sub and J Archive. So, Neil’s winning episode was news to me until I got to this sub.
"Neil was outstanding, we actually didn’t know he was the returning champ until very close to the first episode filming of the day. He was super kind and a great competitor," he concluded.
