Fewreality showsare as emotional as Fox’s newest program,Extracted.
What made you all want to be on the series?
Rose: I feel like Ive always pushed myself in different ways, like with sports.

And honestly, I just came across [an ad on Instagram] that said fun family adventure.
Kelsey: Rose texted me [about] and I just really felt like, F*ck it!
I gave him a little blurb about us, and it just started happening really fast.

Laura: It was midnight and I was asleep.
So I said yes…because I wanted to get off the phone!
It still outperformed much of the competition.
Kelsey: Rose and I talked between us for awhile Mom was like, Nah, Im good!
Rose: I think [Kelsey being vegan] was a big part of it.
Because like…what if you have to eat bugs!?

to I dont know if I can do this!?
Rose: To be honest…the second I was dropped off.
The first night I was like, We’re all gonna meet up.
It’s gonna be so much fun.
I’m gonna make all these alliances with everybody around me, f*ck yes!
And then I wake up the next day and…crickets.
And at the time, I was not great at being alone.
And then just like: raft challenge, then deer challenge and not getting a f*cking deer!
I think that just got in my head.
Collider: Was there a specific moment or situation where you knew you had to getExtracted?
So physically, I just felt so bad, and then mentally I was just having a panic attack.
Collider: On the flip side, Kelsey and Laura, youre in headquarters watching all this.
How was it seeing Rose go through all that?
And then everyone in HQ was crying because they’re watching their loved ones cry.
And also, HQ was kind of casino vibes: no windows, screens everywhere.
What was everyone feeling in that moment?
Kelsey: Im going to be honest: I was really disappointed.
So for me, that’s what I was just focused on.
‘Survivor 48’ premiere ticks off all the boxes.
Laura: I definitely think that that’s true.
Should we be doing this?
That’s why you see us breaking down in the confessional.
Rose: Im going to try not to cry.
Its really hard to re-watch it.
I was like, I’m gonna be that b*tch, hell yeah!
So, for me, it was very emotional to, you know…realize that this was over.
Collider: Once again, thank you all so much for speaking with me today.
Last question: Would you do it again?
Kelsey: I would absolutely do it again.
I’m all about trying new things and doing wild adventures.
And I know that’s going to sound ridiculous, but I am a super strong person mentally.
I don’t know, but I would [still] definitely do that.
Rose: I’ve learned literally so much about myself.
And I literally was like, I don’t have anything to learn.
And that was not the case [forExtracted].
I have grown so much being out there in the wild.
I feel confident in myself.
And that’s just like a gift I’ve always wanted, and I would never take that away.
So, yeah I’ll do it again.
