I'm here with Alexandra Chando.

Young Hollywood

Great to have you back.

Alexandra Chando

Great to be back.

Young Hollywood

And you're looking amazing.

Alexandra Chando

Thank you.

Young Hollywood

And there's a lot of fans of the show, fans of the Lying Game in the studio, and they all want to know if you get to nab any of the wardrobe. Because Sutton especially, I love her wardrobe. She has some killer wardrobe.

Alexandra Chando

Uh, I don't keep it, but I do take I borrow. It's almost like my own Rent the Runway because I I borrow from wardrobe and then when I go back, Yes. I'll return it, and then I'll get new stuff.

Young Hollywood

So, we're going to give you sort of scenarios. Okay. That you may lie, you may have been in this situation in the past, whether or not you think it's okay to lie, just sort of your thoughts on on lying.

Alexandra Chando

Okay. Great.

Young Hollywood

You ready? Okay, you are in the middle of a really boring phone call. Have you ever used the bad reception, can't hear you excuse to get off?

Alexandra Chando

I've never done that. But I've definitely dropped calls.

Young Hollywood

So you just all of a sudden. But how do you do the bad reception part of it? Because you sort of

Alexandra Chando

Well, no, because my apartment now, anyway, drops calls where I am. So, it makes sense. Yes. So, it just happens to drop the call at maybe an opportune time, and I may not call them back right away.

Young Hollywood

Right. Okay, the holidays just passed. You get a terrible looking sweater, and the person who gave it to you wants to know if you wore it yet. Do you lie, or do you tell them you didn't dig it?

Alexandra Chando

I definitely would lie, cuz nine times out of ten it's from a family member, and like, it's just not worth hurting their feelings. You know? Especially if it's a bad sweater. If it's a sweater, whatever, you know? Uh, they obviously put the time and effort into picking it out, so you don't want to hurt their feelings.

Young Hollywood

Okay, a friend is getting married. She tries on her wedding dress before the wedding and wants to know your thoughts. It's hideous, tons of bows, too much lace, unflattering. Do you tell her, or do you sort of like let her have her thing?

Alexandra Chando

Let her have her thing.

Young Hollywood

Really? Even if it's

Alexandra Chando

Absolutely. It's her day. It's her wedding. If she wants to wear that. I mean, Okay, I'm a huge Say Yes to the Dress watcher.

Young Hollywood

Are you really?

Alexandra Chando

Yes. It's

Young Hollywood

Do you get weepy because of I know a friend of mine gets weepy watching that show.

Alexandra Chando

I don't get weepy, but I I will watch like four episodes in one sitting.

Young Hollywood

Okay, a man cooks you dinner. It's inedible.

Alexandra Chando

Oh.

Young Hollywood

Do you eat it? Tell the truth? Suggest takeout? How do you deal?

Alexandra Chando

Maybe you politely suggest going to In-N-Out drive-thru? That's a hard one. I don't know. I mean, I guess you just suck it up and eat it. I don't know.

Young Hollywood

In the same vein, a man is a bad kisser. So bad that you have to break up with him. Do you tell him why? Cuz I feel like I feel like I would have to let him know for future women.

Alexandra Chando

Yeah, like, "Hey, I'm doing you a favor."

Young Hollywood

Yes. And doing the women a favor.

Alexandra Chando

Yeah. I think you should tell him. Or at least hint to it. Especially if like you break up and you know, you just kind of decide to remain friends. It's like, "Okay, hey, by the way,"

Young Hollywood

Right.

Alexandra Chando

"Maybe this next girl you kiss, you shouldn't do that."

Young Hollywood

So, so last season of the show

Alexandra Chando

Mhm.

Young Hollywood

ended on with a huge reveal. So, what what can you tease for us? What can you let us know?

Alexandra Chando

What I think is cool is is you'll get to see the dynamic between Sutton and Rebecca and kind of what goes on between or behind closed doors with them. Right. Which will be really good. And I like the fact that you see a vulnerable side of Sutton this season. Okay. There's also just other stuff, you know, we kind of delve into Ethan and Dan and that whole situation. Their storyline is

Young Hollywood

He's not cute at all. God, both of them. This is such a shame. They're so awful. Aren't they terrible to look at and exact opposite? So I know on the show like I know there's there are some staffers at Young Hollywood that can't watch the show at night because there's so many sort of like things that sort of creep up on you and scares. Really? Are you easily scared? Or are you

Alexandra Chando

Oh, yeah, I don't see scary movies.

Young Hollywood

Really?

Alexandra Chando

No, no, no. I'm I'm afraid of my own shadow. Seriously. I will not. Cuz I live alone and it's one of those things where you're like, Right. You know, I don't wanna I can't sleep then.

Young Hollywood

And last but not least, I saw on your Twitter, you quote Sex and the City a lot. Were you a huge fan?

Alexandra Chando

I was totally a huge fan. Well, I don't quote them, I retweet them. Right. Cuz what happens is, I tend to not have anything interesting to say, especially when I'm not working. So, um, I just find other people to retweet, and so that's what I I've adopted the Sex and the City tweets.

Young Hollywood

Thank you so much for coming in and congrats on another season of the show.

Alexandra Chando

Thank you. I appreciate it.
