KAYCEE CLARK:[Laughs] To leave before the first challenge!
Well, what happened is the world likes to work in mysterious ways.
Apparently me and my brother had it.
The crazy thing is I didn’t feel any of the symptoms.
I mean, I had a light cold, but everyone had a light cold.
But my brother and I had COVID, so we had to exit the game.
I’m so sorry, that timing is horrible.
It was so crazy, and then now for this, it’s weird how that keeps happening.
It was so devastating.
This cannot be happening.
Everything happens for a reason.
Maybe this was supposed to happen.
He potentially might be missing out on a really cool experience.
Was he a bigChallengefan before coming on the show?
He watched it because of me.
My brother is my No.
1 fan, and he always watched me competing on TV fromBig Brotherand now onThe Challenge, every season.
We got pulled from the game and had no idea what was going to happen.
We went to the hotel in two separate rooms.
How long am I going to be testing positive?
I was calling my brother in his little hotel room to check up on him.
I know Nany’s going to flip out if I’m not there.
It was an emotional rollercoaster, that’s for sure.
Talk about horrible timing with her coming into the game right after you get pulled.
Yeah, it’s possible for you to’t write this stuff!
I need to see the actual results."
So they showed it to me and it said positive.
No, I’m super simple.
I was kind of worried.
Last season, I was five months post-op after having surgery.
I know a lot of people like to underestimate because it was a very tragic and intense injury.
Are you interested in going back toBig Brother,or are you just focused onThe Challengenow?
I’m a huge, hugeBig Brotherfan.
I’m a super fan.
That’s what got me into this world.
It’s devastating because I was supposed to go onBig Brother: All-Stars, and that didn’t happen.
Everything happens for a reason but I would love to go back onBig Brother.
I loveThe Challengeas well I feel like I’ve found a home here.
I feel like it’s right up my alley with all the competitions and the challenges.
It’s just a high for me.
I never expect a call, but I always stay ready for whatever comes my way.
The Challenge: Ride or DiesairsWednesdays at 8 p.m. ET/PT on MTV.
