Hi CariDee! Congratulations!...

Congratulations! It must have been so hard keeping the secret that Ты had won. Tell me what that was like.
The thing that was hard was not letting people know that I was even on the show. That was the hardest part. They didn't know until September.


So, while Ты were keeping the secret, were Ты just kind of preparing yourself for this big change that Ты knew was about to happen in your life?
Definitely. I realized that things were about to change so I just wanted to enjoy the moment.


Will Ты be moving to New York?
Yes. I plan to Переместить to New York in the middle of January.


Is that scary?
No, it's...
