Now that she’s had time to get used to her life-changing prize package, CariDee took time out of her busy schedule to share all the প্রণয় she’s feeling with her FORT fans.


Hi CariDee! Congratulations!...

Congratulations! It must have been so hard keeping the secret that আপনি had won. Tell me what that was like.
The thing that was hard was not letting people know that I was even on the show. That was the hardest part. They didn't know until September.


So, while আপনি were keeping the secret, were আপনি just kind of preparing yourself for this big change that আপনি knew was about to happen in your life?
Definitely. I realized that things were about to change so I just wanted to enjoy the moment.


Will আপনি be moving to New York?
Yes. I plan to সরানো to New York in the middle of January.


Is that scary?
No, it's...
