Seychelle Cordero on 'Deal or No Deal Island'Warning: This article contains spoilers about season 2, episode 7 of Deal Or No Deal Island.
When you end an episode on a cliffhanger, what lies on the other end better be worth the wait. In the case of this week’s Deal or No Deal Island, Seychelle Cordero made sure it was.
The previous week’s episode ended with Courtney “CK” Kim facing off against the Banker, and when she won at the start of the latest episode, that meant she got to choose whom to eliminate, and that whom was Seychelle. But anyone who thought the Puerto Rican flight attendant was going to fly away quietly clearly has never met the woman.
“My love, you know that if you would have kept me here, I would have ate you up,” Seychelle began, addressing CK. “Because at the end of the day, no matter what happens in this game, you are nothing but a cheat with a flat ass, baby. And you know who made that deal, so if anybody’s talking about integrity and honesty, it’s not this bitch. Goodbye.”
But it is not goodbye for Seychelle, because we caught up with the indoor enthusiast to get the inside scoop on all her highs and lows out on the island.

ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY: What was it like hearing CK say your name and that she was ending your game?
SEYCHELLE CORDERO: I'm going to be honest with you: I wasn't surprised. I wasn't surprised with how CK went about Temple. There was a big part of me that was kind of ready for it to be over. I am not a girl of the jungle at all. Totally not in my element. But then the other half of me was thinking about my exit words to CK.
So you were already coming up with the script in your head?
Yes, and what's crazy is even when she had called us out on our deal, there was something in me that was like, “You know what? I'm not even going to say something right now.” Because sometimes people at Temple, they like to do whatever the hell comes to mind. So I'm like, “All right, maybe she'll blow us up, and then maybe she'll get rid of Dickson.” So I wanted to keep it cute, but kind of towards the end when she was jabbing at Phillip and everything, I was just like, “All right, I'm going to go, but I'm going to go with a bang.”

You seemed to be playing pretty hard strategically, wanting to take shots at the Family and start making moves. Tell me about that whole side of the game.
I wanted to take out the Family, and something that they're not showing on the show is David had let us know that he was one of the world's top supermodels, but homeboy’s on the island talking about how ain't got no money! But I remember him telling all of us how him and his wife and his four kids, they're being housed in Brooklyn.
And I'm just like: It don't make no damn sense for you to be calling broke, but meanwhile, you housing six souls in Brooklyn. You got money! I didn't know David was on Australian Survivor, but I'm just like: You was a model and you housing six souls in Brooklyn, so I know you got bread. And I didn't want Parvati to win because Parvati done won something already. So I'm just like, “Why the hell should y'all win more money?” You know what I'm saying? So I'm just like, I'll be cordial with them. Like I've said before, I'm a phenomenal actor. I can definitely smile in your face, but I want the underdogs to win. I want people to win that no one really sees coming — a new face.
Tell me about your relationship with CK and the vibes there.
I never trusted CK. I'm shocked that that didn't even make it in my confessionals with me saying how “I'll choose when to work with her, and it's a very day by day basis on this island, but I do not trust her.” She was extremely emotional. She wore her emotions on her sleeve. So I didn't trust her. When we were on the hammock, even off-camera, she had looked at me right before that challenge and she said, “You know that I need immunity.”
And in my head I'm like, “It's not going to f---ing happen. There's no shot in hell. I'm going to say whatever I need to so that I can get immunity. I don't give a f--- really what happens to her after that. But I'm like: If she can give me immunity, I can make a deal with Dr. Will to get rid of somebody from the Family that would maybe gain her trust. That's a pretty good move to be able to pull off in that game so far. So in my head, I'm like: I would never trust her, but if I'm able to gain her trust a bit, maybe it'll work for me in the long run.

In all these games, what you really need is a ride or die, right? You need that person in the game that you can trust and can work with. Who was your person in this game? Who was your number one?
Lete was my number one. Because we were so open and transparent with everything. I was really good at jumping around to different people and getting some information from them. And a lot of it I kept to myself, but me and Lete were pretty much always open about the things that we were hearing and the ways that she was feeling and the ways that I was feeling. But deep down, I'm like: It's good to have her on my side now, but she's not necessarily someone that I would want to go all the way to the end with. She would annihilate me in a damn challenge.
You never played the Banker, but if you had and could eliminate anybody — and nobody was immune — who would it have been?
I would've taken out David. That would've really f---ing stung Parvati. I think that would've been really good. I would've loved to take out David,
Cut the head off the snake?
You know what the tea is? I think Parvati was the head of the snake, but he's just someone that has the potential to win a lot of physical challenges. I mean, Parvati too. Parvati has been safe.
Every time.
Every f---ng time! But I would've gotten rid of David.

You mentioned that you don’t like living out in the jungle. What was the hardest part about being out there?
Just being f---ing uncomfortable. I don't like that s---. You know what I'm saying? If I'm on a vacation or some s---, I'm tanning. I'm doing the things I want to do. I'm drinking. I love to vape and I love to drink. I can't f---ing do any of that on the Banker's Island. That s--- was f---ing miserable. Just standing out in the damn sun, I got this heat rash thing, and I don't like that. They gave me hydrocortisone or whatever, but it sucked. The bugs! I don't like bugs. I don't like bugs at all. I remember one time I pulled up into my tent and there was just all types of things in there, and I don't like stuff like that.
Seychelle, I want to see you one day on Survivor. Just one day.
I got to keep it a buck with you, Dalton, I, I've always had my mind that I would never do that s---. I would never f---ing do it. But I would f---ing do it simply to really give people really a phenomenal show. Because I know that I'm going to be so f---ing obnoxious out there that I honestly think that it could probably work for me.
Finally, does CK still have a flat ass?
Yes. A blind person would know that.
