In the same interview with Upi, Paola admitted that it was quite hard for the male and women competitors of The GOAT to live together in the mansion:
"I like to be able to walk naked in the house if I can. There are so many people and cameras are rolling everywhere, so you've got to be careful what you do."

"It shows the camera crew. They're not trying to hide all that. It's a celebration of all reality shows mashed up into one."
He also mentions that he wants viewers to see the "little Justin still inside [him]" instead of her drag persona:
"[I wanted to] challenge that little Justin still inside me that didn't make the baseball team. Then I realized, wait a minute, I think some of this is just based on luck and social skills."
