How Sydnee Got A Villain Edit
She Played An Interesting Game
According toSydnee, a lot of her villain edit came from episode 3, when she tried to get Lauren Jean eliminated.Sydnee felt Lauren was a threat, as she had successfully lied to the cast for two episodes about being the millionaire before transferring the money to someone else. In Sydnee’s defense,Lauren was a good liar, as not enough people had caught onto her being the millionaire to eliminate her. However, it was confusing why Sydnee wanted Lauren out when Lauren was the only person guaranteed not to be in possession of the million dollars.
Sydnee won a lot of competitions, ending up in the trophy room more than any other contestant.
Her win streak made her a threat, andinstead of acting humble about her prowess, she seemed cocky. On top of that, Sydnee is a beautiful, tall, athletic, blonde woman, and her appearance, coupled with some confident comments, likely led to her villain edit. It’s also possible she showed a softer side while filmingMillion Dollar Secretthat audiences will never see, as the producers can only show so much in a short amount of time.
