Isn’t that ridiculous?"
“It was harder for me to watch her lose.”
You weren’t even thinking about your own chance, you were talking aboutmychance.
You’re just such a good human being."
ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY: What were your goals coming ontoAll Stars?
KENDAL SHEPPARD:I wanted to win.
I went in undefeated.
[Laughs] I had done oneChallenge, and I won it.
I had done one elimination, and I won it.
And I did that!
So in that sense, I won.
Nehemiah, what was your reaction when Aneesa cast the deciding vote sending you into elimination?
SHEPPARD:That was not the deciding vote!
It was all out of order.
She was actually the one that started the whole cascade for everybody to vote Nehemiah.
That is why I said Yes, because that’s what Jisela said she wanted.
And when I asked Easy who he wanted, he didn’t say my name at that time.
SHEPPARD:You were totally blindsided.
And unfortunately, me and Nehemiah got screwed over on that one.
Kendal, did you know that Nehemiah was going to pick you as his elimination partner?
I wish they would have shown more of this stuff.
I felt really bad for Nehemiah.
I thought it was going to be Aneesa, that’s what makes sense.
So I told Nehemiah, I got you.
If it’s endurance or climbing, I’m yours.
But he had a couple options.
CLARK:[Laughs] Slim options.
It was really just between Kendal and Jemmye, and it just depended on what the game was.
SHEPPARD:And Aneesa was threatening to throw the whole elimination if Nehemiah picked her.
It looked like you guys started off strong in the elimination, so what happened down there?
SHEPPARD:It was so close, though.
Nehemiah, how do you feel about having lost to Big Easy twice now?
CLARK:My hat is off to him as a competitor.
I just happen to be the vessel that helps him prove that.
[Laughs] I’m okay with that.
He’s my kryptonite.
I feel like he’ll probably beat me in any elimination at this point.
My newChallengegoal is just to avoid Easy and make it to the final.
But I definitely respect him, and he and Jisela deserved that win more than I do.
SHEPPARD:I have a different opinion.
I don’t feel like I’m walking out with a whole lot left on the table.
But I really wanted to test myself in that final, and I’m really upset about that.
But, Nehemiah, we really went through it and we deserved that win.
CLARK:Yeah, we definitely deserved to make it to the final, for sure.
Nehemiah, you and Jemmye got close during this season.
Where does your relationship stand now?
CLARK:We text.
Our relationship was more like a friendship on the show, and that extended outside of it.
We like to flirt, but the basis of it is a friend-bang out deal.
That’s where we stand.
No grand, sweepingChallengeromance?
CLARK:[Laughs] Oh no, it was aChallengefling.
We actually never hooked up.
I’m still aChallengevirgin I have yet to hook up in theChallengehouse.
There’s always future seasons to change that!
CLARK:That is true.
[Laughs] You put us on the same season, I’ll definitely try.
SHEPPARD:Yeah, I would do it.
But Nehemiah already told me I need a new strategy.
I’d need to watch more of the past shows first.
CLARK:I would love to do another season ofAll Stars, or even a regularChallenge.
I’m ready for both.
And I’m not much older!
It does feel weird to be part of the loop again.
It’s such a different element because this is the first show I’ve done with social media.
It’s so different, and so weird, but amazing at the same time.
