Todrick shared that he can be a little judgy at times if people get too emotional and added, "I am a person that has gone through so much that when a situation presents itself to me, I can always say, “Todrick in two months from now, you won’t care about this.” Todrick lastly added, “The thing I’m the most excited about is to be in a group of people who have all at some point in their lives and careers have probably been misunderstood. I think it’ll be good therapy for me to be able to talk to people who understand what it’s like. It’s not easy, and a lot of people just don’t have the experience to draw from.”

Teddi is hoping to form new relationships and get in situations where she is not tied to her phone. She lastly added, “And I tend to be someone that micromanages every little detail of my life.
