Flora: Oh my god, for "
Dance All Night" we hired a costar named Bolton De la Cruz, and he was the
worst actor on the planet. So full of himself, you couldn't disagree with him and he kept insisting on making me redo all the shots, even ones he wasn't in. So later Bailey tells me Bolton wants to
fire me from my own music video and replace me with a stunt double! We couldn't even downsize him because of contract bullshit. The final video turned out okay, admittedly, but god it was the worst experience filming it.
"
Foxholes" was terrible too. It was a war story; I get conscripted, go fight with
the Royal Expeditionary Force, witness atrocities, and my fur grows lighter until it's completely gray because I have PTSD or something. But we filmed it in the Quebec wetlands for realism, and you have
no idea how cold those goddamn swamps get. Not to mention I had to get rebleached a new shade multiple times a day since we didn't film the scenes in order...and the song ended up tanking anyway because it wasn't pop enough!
And finally, there's my most embarrassing business decision...see, my whole career there's been this ongoing rumor that I'm an Augment, just because my fur's fuchsia and I'm a folf. It's caused me a lot of grief, so I channeled that anger into a song called "
Phenolphthalein". Fee-no-thay-leen is this chemical that turns pink when exposed to acid, so I was trying to make a metaphor for myself facing the hatedom, I guess? I don't know. But then my label makes me do a music video where I'm made of all these robotic body parts, which they thought was poking fun at the rumors, but I said it goes completely against the point of the song, you know? But nobody listened to me. And what do you know? All the video did was give exposure to the rumors and they reached a whole new level that's never gone away. God, I wish I'd never written that song...

Marita, if you had to sacrifice one member of the team so the rest could live, who would you pick?
Awe and Werner: Which of you would win in a fair fight?
Tony, if you had your pick of any person in the party you could settle down (and let's say you had to choose), whom would it be and why?
