Now that the world knows who won a whopping $4.56 million on 香蕉视频直播淪quid Game: The Challenge,香蕉视频直播� Surrey resident Darylle Johnson is keen to talk about her time on the British reality-competition show.

The popular Netflix series, based on the South Korean drama 香蕉视频直播淪quid Game,香蕉视频直播� was filmed in London last January, nearly a year ago.

Crowned champion on Wednesday, Dec. 6, American contestant Mai Whelan, 55, pockets the biggest cash prize in reality-TV history.

Johnson, a Guildford-area designer of , says she enjoyed her time playing kid-friendly games as one of the 456 香蕉视频直播淪quid香蕉视频直播� contestants, including a handful of fellow Canadians.

She was player #273.

香蕉视频直播淚t was definitely fun,香蕉视频直播� Johnson told the Now-Leader in a phone call Thursday, Dec. 7.

香蕉视频直播淭he chances of winning the $4.56 million was obviously not high because there香蕉视频直播檚 a lot of contestants, but just the opportunity to be on the show 香蕉视频直播� I mean, it was the number-one show on Netflix in 73 countries in the first week with over 20 million views, I think, just huge.香蕉视频直播�

To become a contestant she endured six months of interviews with show producers.

香蕉视频直播淢ost reality shows have 10 to 20 contestants, so the process of picking all 456 was pretty crazy,香蕉视频直播� Johnson noted.

香蕉视频直播淎t the time I was digital nomading, primarily in Mexico, and somebody posted the casting video on social media. I was like, 香蕉视频直播極h, that香蕉视频直播檚 crazy.香蕉视频直播� I香蕉视频直播檇 never really thought about being on a reality show before, but that sounded fun, so I applied. I guess I kind of stuck out with my strange lifestyle of nomading around Mexico, and I香蕉视频直播檓 board game designer and business strategist. I stood out to them in that sense.香蕉视频直播�

Before Johnson was eliminated in the third episode, she was a lieutenant in a life-size version of the Battleship board game.

She says it香蕉视频直播檚 been a strange few weeks of having people ask questions about her time on 香蕉视频直播淪quid Game: The Challenge,香蕉视频直播� a 10-episode series that debuted in November.

香蕉视频直播淭hey香蕉视频直播檝e been like, 香蕉视频直播楬ow are you feeling, how are you doing?香蕉视频直播� My friends aren香蕉视频直播檛 confused, but they keep thinking I just did the show, because it香蕉视频直播檚 new for them and everybody else,香蕉视频直播� explained Johnson, a 2004 North Surrey Secondary grad.

香蕉视频直播淏ut it香蕉视频直播檚 all been very present in my life over the past year, and we weren香蕉视频直播檛 allowed to know what happened after we left, so I found out who won like everyone else.香蕉视频直播�

She continued.

香蕉视频直播淭here香蕉视频直播檚 this thing called astronaut syndrome, where an astronaut goes into space and they see the world from such a different perspective, such a crazy new experience for them, and then they come back down to real life,香蕉视频直播� she added. 香蕉视频直播淚t makes me feel like I need to have that high again, to have that crazy experience again after being back to normal now. It香蕉视频直播檚 a strange feeling.香蕉视频直播�

So, would she do another reality-TV game show?

香蕉视频直播淥h, hell yeah, but probably one with more strategy because I feel this one involved a lot of luck,香蕉视频直播� Johnson said.

香蕉视频直播�, so people should apply,香蕉视频直播� she added. 香蕉视频直播淚香蕉视频直播檓 a proponent for trying something new, even if you香蕉视频直播檙e afraid of something to just be brave despite the fear.

香蕉视频直播淧ersonally I grew up a very, very shy person with a lot of anxiety, and it香蕉视频直播檚 been a journey of doing the things that feel uncomfortable in order to break through that. I would just encourage people, whether it be for this show or something else in their life, to take the step and just do whatever the thing is, even if they香蕉视频直播檙e fearful of it. That香蕉视频直播檚 kind of the underlying message that I would put out there.香蕉视频直播�
