“You just go completely mentally numb,” Shawn confessed of her time on the series, “to where you’re just like a human shell.”
Andrew added, “Honestly, I would recommend the whole show until the last day. Honestly, it ruined everything. It was so brutal.”
And while Shawn didn’t agree that the end ruined it all, she was on the same page that the finale completely shifted the game, saying, “It went from something we are very used to, which is the physical pain, to, ‘Whoa, what is this?’”
The gold medalist did feel “lucky” she made it to the finale, adding, “Crossing that finish line took all of those bad memories of everything you just went through, and made it have a purpose to it.”
And although Andrew had a slightly different experience, the former Washington Commanders long snapper was grateful to have had the time with his other half.
