We now have contestants who will not let anything get in their way of victory. Some contestants have thrown each other under the bus this season.

I knew I could control one thing, and that is my time and my hours and my effort and my efficiency.

If I don't wear something for a year, I give it away.

And I think more than anything else, I know when I go to bed that no one's working harder doing what I'm doing, and I think, quite frankly, simply that hard work at some point was gonna pay off.

Fortunately for me, I'm in this unique business of not singing, not dancing, not performing - just kind of being there.

I'm a big advocate of being around the things that you want to do eventually, and being around people who are doing them.

One of my favorite things to cook is fondue. I'm Swiss. It's a great social meal.
