joining us now former cast member of Big
Brother's season 20 vessel feci
shambhavi for stopping by thank you
thank you for having me and you have an
interesting story you were an Orlando
native we were just talking about it and
you originally wanted to be on Survivor
mm-hmm right and so how did it all come
about with Big Brother what was that
like for you so after I graduated
college I went on American Ninja Warrior
last year Oh so when I got on that I was
like let me see what else I can get on
so I applied for Survivor my almost
honor in Survivor but then somebody told
me I'd be a better fit for Big Brother
so then I did research on Big Brother
applied and then I was supposed to
actually be on last season but um they
held me out until this season so I'm
actually glad I was on this season
what's next first I'm gonna beat this my
friend from the show swaggy in this
one-on-one game and then Haley who's
also from the show my girlfriend she
comes down today so I'm just taking it
one day at a time that's awesome all
right so you've made a lot of friends
during your season you've also made
friends from previous seasons as well so
and one of your friends and fortune is
kind of battling prostate cancer can I
give us an idea of how that's going so
right as we were planning this
one-on-one game Kevin who was on season
19 he was diagnosed with prostate cancer
so that was kind of eye-opening to us
and we kind of put our one-on-one game
and you know wanted a good cause for it
so we decide what better way than a
former Big Brother alum who's going
through something and he also just had
his surgery a couple of weeks ago and
he's cancer-free right now thank
goodness that's good that's awesome and
prostate cancer has touched so many
families one in nine men will be
diagnosed with it at some point in their
life and something you could definitely
battle but you know how are you helping
to
you know get the word out about this
among you know the other guys out there
who might not be even thinking about
this issue that often comes up so with
this platform we now have and with this
game being so highly anticipated we
thought what better way to use this
platform for a good cause as well and
Kevin who was on season 19 who was
diagnosed he got the diagnose like
randomly he just went in for a random
checkup and then he found out so it's
kind of like letting the public know
like you know sometimes there are no
signs you have to go get to make an
effort to go get checked and young too
and so why basketball so let's run deep
in your vein somehow so if you google me
and find out all your research I was a
college football player
swaggy who I'm playing was a college
basketball player so if people like Y
basketball was because ever since I
graduated college a couple years ago all
I've been doing is playing basketball
and leagues and I actually go in random
gyms in Orlando and you know try to
house people to play me when I want to
if you look at me I don't look like your
typical basketball player I look like a
football player or something like that
so I think you know swagger has his work
cut out for him what's the reaction out
in the community as people recognize you
more and more from being on these shows
so the first I open ER was I went to UCF
tailgate when I first got out and I
didn't know how you know I didn't know
much about the show before I got on so I
didn't know how popular was and how
crazies fans actually were crazy fans so
I was at the UCF tailgate and one person
he's FSE knows like took one picture and
then all of a sudden I'm walking I mean
like people are like running up to me
trending I was like what is going on
this is crazy that's amazing right so
where is the event how much is it how
can people get involved so it's on first
of all the website is swaggy versus
Vesey calm it's right here in Edgewater
the address is on the website you can
