Oh, how's my heart?

I love that.

Well, I'm trying to stay warm over here on the East Coast.

It's a bit chilly over here.

But overall, it's my favorite time of year.

So I literally thrive during Christmas.

So I feel like I like come alive and I'm dressed like a Christmas ornament.

You guys can't see, but this is just my time.

So everything is great.

And I don't really find the middle of the season to be stressful.

If anything, I'm excited for what else is to come.

So you don't have any, like, is it harder for you filming the show or watching it back?

I would say filming the show itself.

It's pretty demanding.

You know, it's five days a week and it's all the things that we have going on in our lives in that moment.

We're in the thick of it and we have to talk about it.

And so it's more challenging to deal with that head on.

And then, you know, we always say that there are three parts to a show, as I'm sure you guys know, there's

the when you film it and then when you watch it back and then once you like are doing the reunion or the coming together and getting the fan response at the same time so it's an interesting three parts how has it been for you like from your point of view well how do you feel like the fans are receiving you this season and the rest of your cast

You know, it's interesting because I feel like I'm more like myself again.
