WWE Tough Enough Finalists Talk the Finale, Their Futures, TE as a “Reality Show”, ZZ Calls His Cesaro Match “Incredible” and More

wwe tough enoughBrian Fritz of SportingNews.com recently spoke with the four WWE Tough Enough finalists following last week’s show finale, and below are some highlights:

Amanda on Sara Lee’s popularity:

“I knew going in that Sara had the fan vote,” Saccamanno said. “She had been in the bottom three several times, she was saved by her fans several times. I knew that but the past several weeks, I definitely thought that I came out of my shell. I thought that the WWE Universe would come around and vote for the real diva that I am and vote for the better athlete. Unfortunately, that didn’t happen in my favor.”

Sara Lee on surviving the bottom three five times:

“I was in the bottom three like five times,” Lee said. “The first time, I hadn’t been showcased too much. But then I got more air time and thought oh, people are seeing that I am a real person and I have the passion for this business. The next time I got put in the bottom three I think my votes increased. I knew I was not going to give up because my fans keep pulling for me and keep me driven.”

Amanda on Tough Enough being a reality show:

“A lot of people sometimes forget that this is a reality show and I think that as much as I was playing a character, I didn’t go into the show thinking I was going to play this character,” Saccamanno said. “We all want fans to vote for us so coming in I was thinking I want everyone to like me. I ended up feeling confident and thought I kind of like this. I wouldn’t go back and change anything but obviously, at the end of the day, you’re having the fans vote for you and people sometimes forget this is still a reality show. You can’t take everything to heart.”

ZZ on people calling him lazy:

“As far as people telling me I’m lazy, I’m not lazy,” Loupe said. “I’m laid back. I come from a lifestyle that’s completely different from the rest of the world. A lot of people see that as lazy. It’s amazing to me because look at what I did in the ring. If I was lazy and couldn’t do anything, do you think I could have pulled off a match that incredible with Cesaro?

Josh on his future in WWE:

“If there’s going to be hard feelings from anyone, I definitely understand that but at the same time, we went through a crash course that was very demanding and hard on us,” Bredl said. “I think out payout was very deserving. We’re on a big pedestal now so it’s either make it or bust. If we play our cards right, the sky’s the limit.”
