“I don’t deserve this, I should have more camera time!!” she exclaimed.
Carly was also upset about the show using a bench as the clue for her relative as she thought it was so obvious because of the connection to Forrest Gump.
“Why a bench? Why a bench?” she said. “There’s literally no other mention of benches in any other movie!”
Carly discussed her meltdown in a post-exit interview with EW.
“Yeah, I was really upset. I think I overreacted a little bit, but I’m an emotional, very dramatic person. I was really angry that I didn’t get a chance to play as long as some of other contestants. I mean, there was no one to be angry at. I was just angry in general at myself, and at the fact that I was going home. And then that turned to complete despair and sadness. I even say, like, ‘I should get more camera time!’ That’s just so silly of me to say. But I also was just saying things out of my mouth,” she said.
