Katie, better known as Pod 3, made it to the Top 3 of Solitary 3.0, only 55 seconds away from being in the finals. We got the chance to ask Katie a few questions about her Solitary experience and she fills is in on what Val is really like and why she almost quit so early.

Congrats on making it to the top three. How did you get involved with Solitary 3.0 and were you a fan of the show before you took part?

Thank you! I heard about the show from an acting/casting website that I’m on and frivolously submitted myself and got an audition. I went into the audition without ever thinking I’d get cast, it was more just for the hell of it and I had nothing better to do that day.. I was just myself in the audition and wasn’t trying to impress anyone which probably made me stand out. I told all my stupid jokes and laughed so hard at all of them I snorted and I guess the casting associates found that entertaining. I had never heard of the show before.

Early on it seemed like you wanted to quit, or at least opt out of the treatments early. What kept you in the game and did you surprise yourself in how well you did?

I was looking for any and every excuse to quit from Solitary. I felt terrible, was starving, had no sleep (I’m used to a minimum of 10 hours a night), and was pretty sick. I went as far as I could with how poorly I was feeling and it turned out to get me through the first few treatments. Once I kept surviving and outlasting the other pods, I learned how mentally and physically tough I was. And I told myself to keep pushing. These are only 10 days out of your entire life.. You can do it, just put yourself in a good place. I was surprised how long I lasted and pushed myself through barriers–like tearing apart a dead goat. I felt so bad for that guy!

Soiltary 3.0 had a super fan this season and his name was RobRob. If you were a fan of Solitary you probably felt right there with him as he represented everyone who loves reality tv and finally got the chance of their dreams. We got the chance to ask RobRob a few questions about his life as Solitary 3.0’s Pod 4. He let’s us know how Val’s experience compared to his home built Pod and how his life has changed since the show.

Congrats on making the final two RobRob and congrats on getting on the show! It seems hard lately for fans of any reality show to get cast. What are your suggestions for those who want to apply for future seasons of Solitary or their favorite reality shows?

Thank you. It was like a dream come true. When anyone asks me about getting on the show, I like to direct them to the testimonial I wrote for the website which I got cast from www.realitywanted.com. The direct link is http://www.realitywanted.com/newsitem/1616-a-note-from-realitywanted-member-rob-hekal-of-solitary-30.

Can you let us in on how you practiced for the show? You said many times that you practiced things like counting the minutes and writing backwards. Were these things you knew Val would throw at you are just things you did for fun?

To practice for the show, I built my own pod in my living room. I decided to make it half the size of a real pod so the real one wouldn’t feel so confining. I practiced most of the tests and treatments from the first two seasons. But my main focus was on the 8 things that were similar between the first two seasons like beds of nails, eating, spinning, brain washing, time estimation, sleep deprivation etc… As you could see, my time estimation was horrible even after all of my practice. It was shocking. At first I tried to make excuses for it like Val counting or the eulogy, but we were all under the same conditions, so I just sucked and deserved to be hung from the ropes. As for writing backwards, I have been doing that since I was a child. I even taught myself to write left handed, and write backwards with both hands. No one knows what Val is going to throw at them while in Solitary. Most of the angst is caused because of this fact of never knowing what she is going to do to us next.
