Beast Games s2 Mia talks about her experience.

0:00I mean, welcome, welcome, welcome, everybody. It's Community Reviews, the Queen of all reality TV. I got Mia, the Queen is in the building. As usual, talk it to her behind the scenes. She is always, this Monday with Queen right here and you'll be there. If I go to a reality show, I know she'll be the main one in front of the screen. Can we just on the screen? If I be quiet. I guess, just me. So I got your back. I already know. She was gorgeous with her fro over here. And she's back again for these games. And I want to talk about her experience first of all. Thank you for coming on here again. Thank you for having me. Thank you for having me once again. You are Queen. You already know I feel that way about you. Oh, thank you, I appreciate it. Please, please, no, please, please recognize, please. We fix our frowns, no hate. It all, it all is all love. When I saw her on the screen, I was just like, in my family, who really is on watch me out of TV, it was like, shit, I was like, you know, because I don't always tell them everything that I know before. I was like, oh, yeah, she was here. He was like, okay, just supportive,

1:01because the King's like you too, mama. So I appreciate it. How did you able to get back to it? Because I'm going to tell you that when you left the first, I mean, everything had to be the first time. I was really happy for the win as far as the honor and everything. But I really wanted you to win it all. And you were so calm. So we did it. It was blocking me. It was blocking me. It was blocking me. It was blocking me. How did this happen again that you had to get on here in another season? What happened? Really, it was just, I just going to be honest with you, it was an invitation because of the popularity. And then like my personality, they just, it did wonders for the show just to be honest. And they wanted me to come back and do it again. So really, I was invited back. So I know that some of the contestants didn't like that, but that's just the break. Oh, yeah. We put in the work of the first, that of course the crew, Jimmy, the whole casting and everyone put the work in on that first season. And it was not uneventful.

2:02It was a lot that we went through. And it was just so popular that they invited me back. So I decided like, hey, why not? It was up to me to make the decision whether I wanted to do it again and I chose to do it again. OK, and a lot of the work as well. And you did brought it as you always do a period. But anyway. So when you were standing there and they had to choose to bring out, kept saying, if I don't say her, I was literally saying it. I saw other people was saying the same thing. Like, why did they want to say her name? How did you feel standing there? Did you think, OK, they're not good? I noticed a reality. I noticed a show because I get all that, I know all that, so they're jazz. But people want to know how did they feel standing there, having the way to see, are they going to say, you know, choose me? There were two things going through my mind. It was like, you know, they gave us a chance to speak and kind of like, say our case and why they should bring us back. But at the end of the day, it was like, OK, I said my piece of why I feel like it's the way I should be brought back. But at the end of the day, I was like, well, I actually said it,

3:02but they cut a lot of it out. Like, you know, it's really not your decision. It's our decision whether I wanted to come back. So I do appreciate you if you invite me back with it. And at the end of the day, it's like, he makes a decision whether I'm involved or not. But you can see that was kind of like to my point in the first episode, it's like the person who is greedy gets invited back. The person who lied gets invited back. But the person who never lied, I was never greedy, doesn't get one of the first invitations. So I was like, you know, this is the state of affairs. Yeah. This is the state of affairs. And it's exactly what I was talking about. The person that was greedy and lied gets invited over the person who never was greedy and never lied. So I was just like, apart from the course, you're just proving my point that, you know, at the end of the day, it's no right way to be me. Or in this skin, as you can, as you will know, just be you because they don't like you. They don't like you regardless of how well and how subservient and, you know, how much you pacify and try to be someone else. I'm going to just be me. And if you like it or not, guess what?

4:03I'm still going to thrive. So I was like, you know, first, I was like more so pleated my cases to why I was, you know, why they shouldn't bite me back. But then I was like, you know, what doesn't get trolled? You don't need to pander. And then I was one of the last shows, but I'm so used to being last because this is the Bible scripture says, the first shall be last and the last shall be first. So I was already in there, you know, it's just that I had to calm down and let things take its course versus trying to convince people. Yes. And that's one of the things that I still do love about you that I was like, you know, as you said, choose a last and I can honestly say that. And I, you know, we're not just saying as far as a black person, it's a black woman. People don't understand those together. It's just a powerful thing, a positive and a negative. My dad was told me that, you know, those strikes are against you. You are a woman and you're black. And so with that being said, being imaginative, you're not a black and you're a woman,

5:03you'll be always a step ahead or they're going to choose you. And I've always said this even being a blocker. I've always said that and I was still standing on that. Someone you said that it was powerful, they hit me hard. So even though you were chosen last and I do agree, it just looked seedy to me as far like, are we really living this life where it's like, you're going to choose the one that you all root for and saying you were trusting, come on, man, I didn't understand it. I didn't understand the logic, even as strategically, I didn't understand it. It just didn't make any sense. To me, if I'm going to play something that I haven't done before, and I'm going to bring somebody on who's done it before, also a person that everyone knows how they play their trust worthy. This is who I'm going to bring first. So it didn't make any sense. So anyway, I'm happy that you responded to that. Thank you so much. I had to get, I had to, I had to talk about that. No, no, no, no, yeah, that's that. I mean, it's just the real. I mean, and let's not take away the fact, because I know people might have something to say, well, they invite it to want to back. Yeah, they invite it to want to back. That's cool, but it was like, how long did it take? If it's about, if it's about limiting people's blessings,

6:06how come Jeff was the first to be invited back? If the person who got the absolute most out of their show wasn't invited back, why not everybody? Why not everybody who got the most? So the second person that got the most should have been me, right? Yes, yes, yes. If I know how to get to the top, then so I was like, oh, good. Exactly. Listen, I'm at this age where I'm so un-bothered, I've been un-bothered, like I am who I am, and I represent God, and I'm still going to tell the truth, and people hate the truth. So, and they do, and they say, they do, they do, they do. So I want to ask you a question about, because you've done two seasons this, like I said. And the first season, everything that you went through, and just me watching it and the fans watching it, you know, a lot of people are rooting for you, and it was frustrated about a lot of the things they saw that happened to you, and a lot of people still feel that way. I'm talking about my fans and whatever, and then myself included, give me a comparison, or your thoughts, I guess, about this season and this season, differences that you saw. Coming in as a vid,

7:06because what's what you are now, a vid of Beast Games? Um, I would say, I don't know, I think a lot of them, well, not all of them, but I would say the portion of people had a chip on their shoulder when we came, like we didn't deserve to be there, but they didn't realize we deserve to be there more than anyone, because we made, with Jimmy and Hall has crew, and all the people that have put their hard work in it, we made the show possible. And remember, we didn't come from 200, we came from 2000. We didn't come from 200, we came from 2000, so from 2000, I was all the, got all the way up to 25. So that's a much different thing, granted, this was more physical, more strategic for granted, before it was physical, too, because if you look at the first episode, before it got to Prime episode zero, which is, you know, the road pulls and all that stuff was very different. Yes, yes, yes. And I was there with men, like, you know, like it got, you know, without getting too in detail, it was very physical between men and women. Like they were like, you know, so it, to,

8:08I think that this time around was, I think a little bit easier, and I think some of the viewers had said that, because I'm thinking like, okay, yeah, for some people that watched the Island show, I had to go up against Navy SEAL, so I mean, what did they really do that was to compare whether that did for Island? Right, right, okay, got you. Yeah, so it's like, I feel like we did more, and it was like, it was a little bit more, because I was left kind of still wanting with some of the things that they had to do to get, you know, not these last few episodes, but so far as an option to the, you know, the Island episode, it was more, it was a little bit more a team versus individual, and the whole goal of the show was like, it's not gonna be a team that wins, it's gonna be an individual that wins each particular thing. I literally was gonna ask you about that, because the survivor one was like a really big deal, yeah, you know, because the fact that, you know, I come from doing Big Brother, and I have no survivor, but I've done a press for Big Brother,

9:08and so that family survivor is a really big deal to a lot of fans, a lot of country craters, bloggers, and whatever. And so when that merge happened, I was just like, whoa, so in your opinion, even coming in as a vet, did anybody like, did you feel like, you know, I noticed you re-event things as the second season goes on, but with that's something you would have liked, but you kind of mentioned the team thing, we're gonna go on to that as well, give me your thoughts more about the team situation compared to, because you guys had a rough, I felt like, yeah, I was on your own. I mean, he just put a word, I'm not saying. Yeah, I feel like, and this is kind of tough, because you, what I understand what they try to do, they try to take all the feedback from the first season, which, you know, Jimmy does a whole video on that. He did a whole video on the things he changed from first season to second season. And let me just lay this foundation, anybody can pick something apart. Anybody can critique something, but the level of people, manpower, revenue,

10:12and just sheer grit that it takes to make a show like this is nothing to look down on. So my critique is, because I was a part of it, my critique is coming from a place where it's of love, what we could have done better, but just critiquing for the sake of cutting something down and ripping it apart. That's definitely not what I'm here to do, because I know how much it, trust and believe, I was taking notes on something like, I ain't never seen nothing like this before. Let me take notes. So far as the second one's concerned, I just think that they had to keep a certain level of continuum so that people can follow along from season to season, see some similarities at the same time, but then that collaboration was mind-blowing, because we didn't, I didn't know what that was going to happen. I would love to have been on that episode. Man, I was so mad at that make today episode, because I'm like, well, shoot, better to be on the island and the island girl. I agree with that, too. I said, yeah, I think it cut a show, and it wasn't even about necessarily winning more things, which is about getting farther along. Just, I can just compete. So I just think that they did the best that they could,

11:14but so far as the team didn't, it kind of lost, I think the sense of competitiveness, because now you have five people helping you when we didn't really have many people necessary help, when it was individual kind of every man for themselves, and you had to kind of work as a mental team to see, okay, can I make alliances with these people? There was really no strategy to make an alliance if you're just kind of, you know, you're chosen to be on a team, it was just kind of a competition. And, you know, it just was what it was, but I don't think it was that hard of competition for five people, you know, just my opinion. Well, some people were saying that the hardest part was the podium, you know, they had to do that thing there. Yes, I will agree on that one. That was the, to me, I just don't know. I mean, even as slim as I've gotten, I said, I don't know if I could have, do you have to hold, I don't think it's a size thing. You have to have that. It is a size thing. I mean, as a person, it's physics. Because the heavier you are, the harder it is to see. But Jason, he was having a rough time.

12:14He was, he's not that, he was a slim guy. He was really, was he, yeah, he was struggling. The strategy that I feel like some of the people had on the show, like even, because I interviewed the one that actually in the winning everything. And you know, the emotional piece of it. And I was like, okay, you don't tell them no spoiler, come be share. No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, I didn't say no, I'm just being like, I said no, I'm going to spray with more, you are speaking, we were speaking trying to, like, this is my, I'm pretty in my case. When watching you from previous season even until your season I didn't really see you do a lot of that even when you were saying about the part of when they were choosing you didn't do too much you say it was a guy's hands because people was a controversial little bit with that because the way he was saying things and crying and talking about the money and also financial things you didn't do that but still got so much love from some of the fans what do you think that is because you didn't have to reveal too much you know what I'm saying. You mean specifically for the decision with island or just period like yeah but the city of the island yes and the way just the way not not speaking ill about because I have no issue with the way he was trying to tell everybody I have no money my bank account just a different things he was saying when I go to you and think about how you pledge your case as far the little bit that you said when they had to choose to bring another one back from your from your your season you didn't do much and you said it was in guys hands and I was just saying you

13:44still got so much love and respect the fans not saying anything against the young man because I think it's wonderful I'm just talking about two different situations I just want to know you see what I'm saying now you get what I'm saying yeah I gave it you saying I'm not just be honest with you you know a lot of stuff gets edited I did say three different times like how I was a good choice to come back but of course a lot of stuff doesn't make it and a lot of people make judgments about people but they don't see the whole story of how they end up. So for me you might have only heard me plead or not plead my case but tell why I should be accepted back once but I had to do it three times because I was not getting chosen so even each time I said something it was more so hey this is this is the reason but it wasn't like crying or begging it was just hey this is the reason why I should come back because I played a good game and I'm a competitor and I'm also here to help people who are willing to be helped I mean in that yeah I'm here for myself but I'm also here to give you strategies too if that's what you want

14:44more if you're playing a fair game like yeah so I feel as though people that geared toward me or you know showed me love I appreciate them I can't be anybody else like yeah I'm an actor I can act of course but this is me like this I'm not playing somebody else like yeah there's times where you get like highlights at me at a very emotional point because it's a lot of stake but I just think that at the end of the day they show what was the natural I guess the natural vein of of that trajectory that one time that I said something and at the very end because they just didn't have a lot of time to kind of go back and forth and I think that the love I received was just genuine love and then you know people where they are you know like everybody's not going to be the same and that's okay you know so I think that that love that they I really appreciate that love they gave me and I did state my my case a couple times but only one of those cases was presented with the edits of the show so I want to talk about how you went off when I say I have been well because I when I got to you know I got to watch it before everybody else did it when I see you ever when you're part by three times because I was like you better say it with your chest you know but I felt it I was so upset I mean but I was like trying to look at it from all I was trying to I was like how would I feel in this position

16:11so I want you to talk about it in your words from your position and how you feel about because it's because I guess everybody thought it was going to be the same was the first season where everybody said no and because I thought the same thing I was like okay take it go about with their bets did the first season most watch any reality TV show or the competition whether the challenge be brother the people that go on to the new season always watch the season previous before so that they can learn from it and these people didn't know when they was going but I maybe they homework maybe they don't love in the death I don't think they paid attention to the class that was presented come on come on now so I mean like you know I I don't have the preferences prep prefaces with let me be honest I'm a busy B who I am which is yeah let's tell it yes man yeah we prayed before each game Meaning that, okay, I had to vibe for a team.

17:12Meaning I had to come up to a team and say, hey, this is the reason why you should choose me to be a part of your team. Now, on my outsider, I'm in a place where people don't want people that already got something to come back. So I had to vibe to this team, like, hey, this is me, you know what I'm saying? I, you know, I'm just here trying to do something and I did it very well last time. I would be an asset to your team. And they had to choose me over another young lady who was already their friend. She got there well before I did and established relationship. So when I came to this team, I was chosen over a young lady that was a good person. I thought she was a cool person. I said, listen, let's make a decision because you don't want to get to the final hour and she can't go over to another team to please or be a part of that team. So I said, listen, let's just make a decision. Even if it's to not choose me, let's give each person me and the other lady a chance to be chosen by someone else. Don't use all of the time. So they chose me. Meaning when you choose somebody to come with your team, there's one thing about them that you're choosing for. You feel as though they're worthy and they're trustworthy. So every time we would do a different challenge,

18:14we would pray. Most of the times I let the prayer, but I said, this is not, it's not an eye in team. There's a team. So I said, each person should lead the prayer. Before that particular instance, when we went up for the last and final challenge, JT pray. JT, the one who went up to deny or accept the challenge for the one million was the leader of that prayer. We prayed that he would do the best thing for the team. He is a police officer who won't, God was a firefighter, the other two were unemployed. And I was telling them that I'm the best person that can get y'all coming out at least with something. Right. There were two other people that were unemployed. Me, a winner from last year. I'm okay. He prayed for the team and he used God as this, people love to use God when it's benefit, but they don't want to use God when they have to sacrifice something and give up something. So after he prayed, he went on up there

19:15and he promised us that he had it our back. And he prayed, use God's name and said, he was going to do the right thing, which means that we all agree that we're going to deny this and that God is going to give us something more. And you hear me say when a cut, they don't do a JT, God is going to give you double what you lost, which means he could have won the island easily, he would have 1.8. Also, it was not going to stop at 1 million. It was going to keep going. Remember, Jimmy never does pretty much the same thing unless it's the island. The number was going to go up above 1 million. So when he went up, everybody's like, oh, I want to take the money and she's crazy and she's this, this is the thing, you are who you are in all walks of life. If the guy from the first season all four did not take the million, if they did, excuse me, if they did take the million, if Tijuana took the one million, I would have won the island. I was on Tijuana's team.

20:17If the young man that was on Jeffrey, Jeffrey was in the 60 people on the bottom where I was and he was man up there named Jeremy, the one that people, it's said that I had a beef with, which I did to a certain extent about the Christianity part. But I won't give you this one respect. I respect Jeremy because guess what he did? He kept his word. Jeremy said no to the million and guess what that did for Jeffrey. Jeffrey won the whole show because Jeremy kept his word. Now, they had championed Jeff, he wouldn't be the winner and he wouldn't be able to do the things he's doing for creating transport deficiency. Except if Jeremy kept his word, your integrity is not for sale. So you tell me that Ibrahim Torrey, the president of a Burkina Faso, his head of security was offered $5 billion to assassinate him. If they had any of these people that say that they are this debt and they were to take them, they would kill somebody, they would do anything for money. Money is not my guy.

21:18I can say no to it because I've said no to it before in real life, outside of a game, to the tune of the same amount and I walked away from it and guess what God did and I didn't have to lie and still he gave me double what I turned down. That's why I was telling JT and real life has this happened to me and my faith has shown me that what God never takes something from you that he won't get back. Now people say, oh, this is the only time you can get it. Well, if that's the only time you believe you can get it, then that's your faith right there that you have to lie and she and scheme to get something. Anybody can get it that they lie and cheat and scheme? Right. There's no difficulty in lying and cheating and scheming to get something. That's what we have to show for American greed. I mean, so I'm gonna ask you this. So when you were saying what you were saying to him which was powerful because you just let him know like you were just like, it's something like I don't get it but you were saying it's so powerful and the words you used was just, it was everything.

22:19Were you speaking for the people who were unemployed Yes, it's just that they didn't show. Like I said, they edited it. The other guy spoke too and he was crying and he was super sick. Oh, no. They edited it because I'm the more popular person. So they only show what I said. The point was that I was so upset it's because he blocked everybody's blessing. Not only just my blessing, but he blocked everybody else's because he was more important. It says, I mean, if you, if you, he said he was a Christian, he said the whole Bible says think of others better than yourself. So you're more important. Your family is more important than our family and that goes right back and say what happened in the first season where, you know, Brandon JC is cool, we chitchat and all of that but the thing is everybody got a family. Yeah. I don't have a family like I'm just, like I just got plopped me on earth without having two parents and siblings and all of that. I mean, I have an immediate family but I do have a family. Right. Your family is more important than my family or the other two guys or three guys that was on my team

23:19is more important when you're gainfully employed and they don't have no job. So I was just like, I was upset because I was like, he heard all of the stuff that those guys were saying that how they quick did you all, they didn't have anything to go back home too. They had no, no income coming in zero. He had a full time job. So it's like, okay, cool. You just can't be trusted and it's a disappointment to God because you just pray to him and said you do the right thing and then you got up there five minutes later and did exactly the opposite or all the things that you prayed and said you was gonna do, you was gonna do. And it's easy to say what you were doing with someone's situation. It was like, well, you didn't do it. Let's back up. First season, I was offered a million. Y'all forgot about that on the platform. It was offered. Did I go for it? No. Then it was a hundred thousand offered. Did I go for it? No. Then it was 50 grand offered. Did I go for it? No. Okay, even when in Harrison tried to offer me a position that would have made me second to receive 450. Remember, he said, I'm gonna put you in position. I said, I don't keep your position. I'll stay with God in my own choices and went fifth.

24:21As the bond was number one, he had the first rider refusal for 450,000. I would have been seconded. And I said, no. I knew what was going to happen. It was gonna be a bribe before we got to the big one. I knew what I was there for. The whole goal of this and the whole point of this is like, okay, you're there to get something but at what cost your integrity, you it is. So everybody's up for sale. It's like to the highest bidder go to, you know, go your integrity and your morals. So that was the reason why I was so upset. It's because it was a team. It wasn't just me, it was, it was a team. It was the purpose of- You see, you can have a better pattern. Yeah, and now to say this one thing, what upset me more was, I saw one of the team members who had told me about all of the stuff that he was going through and make a post that the team had concluded that they weren't, they didn't trust me. And that's the reason why they didn't send me up. And he blocked his pace so they can be comments on it. So I said, imagine this, all of everybody on the team said that they were Christians. And as a Christian, you invited me on the team, but it says to, you know, to think of others

25:23and think of good of others, but you didn't trust me for what reason? What reason? The whole team, this is just a, nothing has been like validated, right? So it's just like out there that the team didn't trust you. But why did they- This is one of the members of the team had said- Okay. One of his things, I don't know what they said. It's just what he's saying. He said that they didn't trust me. So that's why they didn't choose me. And I even said that even a fight for myself. I said, why would you choose somebody already and got a bag and I touched it twice? Now y'all had touched this type of money twice. I'm gonna touch it twice. So why wouldn't I go up? If I say I'm gonna do something, I'm gonna do it. Yes. So they was like, no, no, no, and I said, we'll see what your decision got you. How did that work out for you? Smart? It was a strong, how smart was that? Hey, hey. How smart was that? That was good. It's like, there's a difference between bookstops, bookstops and street smarts. Like, I've been all over the world, money talks, and other stuff. Yes, walkie. So whatever, I want to pick the person who got a bag

26:27any day of the week of a person who you've never seen that type of money in a life. So I was like, okay, smart. Like, you don't need to know how to do trigonometry to figure this out. Even Jimmy said it's like, why would you choose me? Even Jimmy said it. Remember that reason? If I say, why would you choose her? But you already know why. If you're just a strategic person and any kind of reality TV show, you're going to move in a certain way to make sure that you are in a good position. And I just don't think some of the kids get that. I've been watching reality TV. They need to go watch the channels a little bit. I don't know what was happening. So it's just the new kids in the block. They just don't. Well, I don't think they just studied. Like, I think a lot of times it's so fast-paced and they want something here and now, but they don't really study the game. I agree with you generation. In my way, generation ain't going to watch no whole show and figure out how to get to them. And the thing is, they don't ask questions. You know how TV is. You're at hours and hours where you sit with people. They couldn't ask me anything. I had so many strategies and ways to help. They didn't ask the thing. They just, wow, that's crazy. They just built with themselves and I just sat there and slept. Because I was like, imagine Warren Buffett

27:30being right next to you, not saying I am, but I'm just saying, imagine Warren Buffett sitting in the room. And you just buzzing all around the room and you ain't asking him no questions. That's insane. That's, it was like, what? Okay. So I'm actually just this final, final question. What do you have going on in your life now, your charismatic? You became one of the second season of this series. You have a lot of fans. People do root for you. They, people I've seen tight, they want to see you on other real artistic shows. What is going on with you, Queen? What you got coming up? I mean, right now, you know, God is for me. I got a lot of stuff going on so far as community. I'm working in the community here in Baltimore, helping to, you know, I work alongside a nonprofit, some farms, or just on a human level. I'm looking to let God use me in things that kind of kind of really matter, like affordable housing and people going through the struggles. And all of the other stuff is going to be a bonus.

28:30So I'm still putting myself out there and still kind of doing some things in the works to like promote my own show and have my own travel show. And of course, be, you know, be forward facing. But I think my goal is kind of, it's not and or it's both. I kind of do want to make an impact in the place that I, that I, you know, that I tried. Yes. For the general overall, I would say benefit of people that are going through tough times right now, outside of this pseudo world of reality TV. So I'm trying to be more beneficial to that and, you know, invest in my community and help with community efforts to increase affordable affordable housing right now in our city. So that's the main thing I'm working on. I can't go into too many details, but that's what I'm working on. And also sustainable food, which I've been working with farms here in the, in the urban area, urban farmers here in Baltimore, straight to love being one of them. So those are the things I'm doing right now.

29:30And in the meantime, between time, you know, working on more opportunities to be on more shows and stuff like that. And in the future as well.
