The jockette grunted as she entered the studio room. "Make this quick," Eva told Josh before sitting down. "I'm very busy."
"Okay, Miss Grumpy Pants," Josh teased, earning him a harsh glare from Eva. "Let's start with Ezekiel then."
"Didn't care for that squirt, especially when he insulted us women by calling us weak! Next."
"Whatever. So, you teamed up with Noah during the Island special. Care to explain?" Eva smirked a bit as she took the picture. "He wasn't exactly Mister Sunshine," she admitted, "But he's an honest friend. That's hard to find nowadays. We sometimes chat a bit during the Action Aftermath after the cameras stopped rolling. When he told me what happened during his World Tour run, I was actually furious since HE WAS CHEATED OUT OF THE GAME!" She then took a breath. "But Noah later admitted that he enjoyed traveling the world a bit, so when auditions for that spin-off show came up, I told him to sign up. I was busy doing an athletic competition, so I couldn't be his partner, but Owen was just as good as helping Noah out, if not better. And I'll admit it: I was touched when he and Emma hooked up."
"That's a lot of juice," Josh chuckled as he slid the next picture forward. "Now, I seem to remember you fawning over Justin in the special."
"Ugh, the guys at the gym wouldn't let me live that down for about a week after that happened. But the guy's as crafty as a fox...when he allows himself to be. He usually relies on his good looks, and by usually, I mean almost all the time. The guy's incredibly vain, which I learned during Action and World Tour. After those seasons, I made sure to stay away from him."
"Huh. Now, besides you, Katie and Sadie were the only ones to not compete in another season. You must've spent some time with them."
"Those squealers? Blech! I tried not to hang around those girly girls. But I was one of the first people to notice that those two were a little closer than they were letting on, and I wasn't surprised when I heard they finally hooked up."
"Ooh! That's news to me! Now, onto the next interviewee." Eva simply shook her head at Tyler's picture. "He's a decent guy," she admitted. "But calling him a jock is an overstatement. He's so klutzy, it puts Surfer Girl to shame. But I think that's more to his ego getting into the way than an actual lack of skill since he does show some capability, like during the Yukon challenge. But that's probably all I can say about him."
"Interesting," Josh commented before sliding the next picture up. "So, you joined Izzy's little group called 'Team E-Scope'. Care to explain?"
"Izzy's an interesting case. She set up that alliance with me as the brawn, Noah as the brain and herself as leader and all-around wildcard. And boy, was she that! Girl's smarter than she looks, from her plan to take down Justin to getting herself back in the game due to a loophole and even her whole 'Brainzilla' persona. Not sure what that last part was. Overall, she's just a fun ball of energy to hang around. No wonder she and Owen were drawn to each other."
"Okay. What about Cody? Thoughts?"
"That little twig? Not much. Well, besides the scolding I gave him after the first aftermath regarding that whole bra thing. I mean, really! I don't understand why he has so many fans. Did they forget how pervy he can get? Sniffing a girl's hair, snagging her bra...blech! And the only reason I supported him in the World Tour Aftermaths was because Heather and Alejandro were simply more awful than him! Next."
"Fine. What are your thoughts on Beth?"
"That girl tries way too hard to get everyone to like her, and Action made that clear. Her gushing and boasts about her little boyfriend was enough to make me sick to my stomach. I honestly consider her as double-faced as Courtney sometimes. You know, scolding people when they're mean but is fine with trash-talking others, like that little whip about Courtney and the shark. We don't speak."
"Speaking of Courtney, she's next. You must have something to say to her." Eva just growled in response. "She scolds me about my temper," she seethed, "But she has an even worse one! At least I know I have an issue with mine, and I'm working to curb it. But Courtney thinks she's Little Miss Perfect that can't do anything wrong! I didn't waste any pity on her when she got kicked off in Island, nor did I like her during Action, World Tour, and ESPECIALLY All Stars."
"Wow," Josh chuckled. "That's a lot of dirt there. Now, do you have any thoughts on Harold?"
"Meh, not really. I only voted for him in the Awake-a-Thon because at that point, I wasn't sure who would be seen as useful. I suppose I was kinda impressed during his run in dodgeball, but that's about as far it goes."
"Okay, well, what about Trent?"
"No. I actually found him very boring and he only really seemed to have a personality around Gwen. Next." Josh smirked as he slid the next picture up. "You seemed to have it out for Bridgette when you returned to the competition," he pointed out.
"Yes, I was quite mad about my teammates voting me off," Eva explained, "And I didn't like that snide, backhanded remark Bridgette made about me needing anger management classes. So yeah, pretty pissed. HOWEVER, Izzy informed me after the challenge about what Heather pulled that night since she watched the clips from Playa de Losers, which I neglected to do because of my fury. But I still don't care for Surfer Girl even after the season ended, nor did I care about her issues during Action and World Tour."
"Now, let's move onto DJ next."
"He's just a wussy little mama's boy, especially during World Tour. I mean, that stupid 'animal curse' only amplified how pathetic he was. Don't care for him."
"Hmm, what about Geoff, another member of your 'backstabbing Bass' team?" Josh teased.
"DON'T START WITH ME!" Eva lashed back. She took a breath and regained her composure. "Party Boy? I didn't care for him in Island, he was a complete jerk in Action, and I thought he was just as bad in the whole Blainley/Geoff feud the duo had."
"Really? Do tell."
"Well, he kept wishing for a light to fall on her more times than the camera showed, constantly humiliated her even back in the first World Tour Aftermath, tricked her into joining when it was CLEARLY against the rules of the comeback challenge and simply laughed off her injuries in Hawaii. I'm not saying that blonde witch was any better; just that Geoff wasn't as innocent as he claimed."
"Now, let's move onto Leshawna. You two had a short feud in your return episode."
"And that's about as far as it went for us in Island, though I didn't like her boasting about her win. Though in Action, I was a little shocked about the whole spa thing in Action. I expected it from that no-good witch Heather, but Leshawna? But at least she owned up to that action. World Tour was definitely her lowest point between her wishy-washy thoughts on Harold and how she got manipulated by Alejandro. She was able to see through Heather ON DAY ONE and yet she fell for basically the male version of her?! Seriously!"
"Ooh, harsh. Now, I heard you complimented Duncan's style during Island."
"Yeah. He was pretty cool...up until Action started. Then he started to be a bully towards Harold. I mean, what did that twerp do to deserve that? But once Courtney debuted, he became her little lap dog, and I lost all respect for him. The girl was clearly bad for him and I was glad he voted her off, but he went back to her! What the hell, right? Not saying it was right for him to cheat on her with Gwen, but I see that he was only sick of Courtney's attitude. I no longer hold him in high regard."
"Now, time to delve into Heather," Josh chuckled as he slid the next picture up. "Boy, did you hate her!"
"Of course I did!" Eva shouted. "She got me eliminated! And by the time I found out, it was too late. I got eliminated. I swear the producers only brought me back to protect Heather. I didn't support her during Action or World Tour, and I was only put on Team Heather in the Hawaiian Aftermath because of Surfer Girl having pity for Blainley. I was glad they booted Heather early in All Stars. Still don't like her."
"Fine. Now, you supported Gwen in the finale of Island. Did you like her?"
"Sort of. She didn't care for Heather's BS and managed to get her out. Plus, I didn't care for parties, so I wasn't tempted like Surfer Girl or the squealers were. After the season finished up and Action started, Gwen started to change for the worse. First, there was that ridiculous drama between her and Trent that got them kicked off early. Then, she was okay in World Tour...up until Duncan showed his face in London. Then there was that whole cheating scandal that made Gwen out to be the bad guy in all this, which she really wasn't! But All Stars? The girl tried WAY too hard to be the 'good guy' for everyone. She didn't care what people thought of back in season one; why start caring now? I think these other seasons really ruined her. Such a shame, too."
"That's quite a bit. Now, onto your thoughts on Owen."
"Ugh, that annoying lard ball? I don't know how he got so far as to win the first season. Maybe the producers set it up to make sure the positive icon was the winner instead of someone more competent. But it really showed how much of a producer's pet he was in the second season, with the whole mole thing. It was so pathetic seeing him in World Tour. I mean, Noah warned him about that Al kid, and yet Owen still decided to trust Al over his friend Noah?! But the guy still has his good moments, with the spin-off show showing it best."
"Hmm, interesting. Let's see your thoughts on the next person." Eva groaned as she saw Sierra's photo. "That girl is definitely trouble," she moaned. "I know I've complained about Cody's perviness, but at least he can take a hint at times! Plus, he was tame compared to her. I suppose one could excuse that crying stunt she did, but trying to trick Cody into marriage and outright drugging him is going way too far! Don't like her one bit."
"Not too surprising there," Josh muttered under his breath before continuing. "Now, what about Alejandro? You didn't compete with him or interact with him during Celebrity Manhunt."
"I admit he fooled me with his appearance. But after seeing his confessional in the second episode, my thoughts quickly changed. And people don't see how cold-hearted the guy can get at times. He left Owen to be EATEN in the Amazon, and he didn't do ANYTHING to deserve that amount of hatred! Do not like Al one bit."
"Now, did you interact with any of the other two main generations?"
"Well, I did meet up with the so-called jocks of season four, but I wasn't impressed by them. Lightning's ego puts Tyler's to shame, Brick is a total wimp, and me and Jo even got into a it of a...heated altercation."
"Ooh, do tell!"
"She claimed to be a better version of me, which is not true AT ALL! I'm not bossy or manipulative like her, and then she started to trash-talk my friendship with Izzy and Noah! I then told her that her personality is probably what drove guys like Brick away, and then some blows were thrown. I don't know why she was so touchy with that cadet."
"I'll have to remember that when I interview them," Josh thought. "Anyone else?"
"Well, my meeting with Sky went SO much better," Eva recalled. "I appreciate that she was neither too tomboyish nor too girly-girly like other athletes. We even became friendly rivals, and she even asked me to help out a little at her wedding, though I didn't like dressing up."
"And what are your thoughts on the newer cast Chris introduced?"
"Well, I certainly don't like that asshole Chase, blonde Emma is pathetic, Julia is like a combination of Courtney and Heather, Axel's kinda okay, and Ripper stinks in more ways than one. Don't really care about the others." Eva then stood up and walked off. "Now that this crap is over, I'm leaving," she decided.
"Goodbye, Miss Rageaholic," Josh murmured under his breath. He quickly ducked as he saw a doorknob flying towards him. "Watch it, Smart Guy," Eva warned him before leaving the building.
Eva's done. So, I tried to keep her friendship with Noah and Izzy and kinda Owen. She even has a friendly rivalry with Sky, which is partly inspired by my fanfic friend LaCuevademisgustos in one of his stories. Though I can't say the same regarding Bridgette, Gwen, Heather or even Jo.
The next interviewee will be the popular snarker who saw through an eel and met his equal on the spin-off show. Until next time, this is Dunsparce519 saying enjoy and have a good day!
