The Hawaii- based star at first wished to go on the program to get clearness in their relationship, as she felt Vanessa was “hot and cold” about where they stood. “You’re saying you want to be with me, but you’re also saying that I feel like a best friend,” Xander remembered to E!, “and I don’t want that.”
That wishy-washy frame of mind made Vanessa an early bad guy in the season, with castmates Lexi Goldberg and Yoly Rojas calling her out for supposedly being disrespectful or computing.
“Within genuinely, no edits, within 10 minutes of conference me and [partner] Mal, she insinuated her and Mal were going to resemble trial partners together,” Yoly informed E!, remembering that Vanessa’s toast to her own future with Mal “was so disrespectful.”
And that wasn’t the only drama withVanessa “Going forward, she tries to instigate little things and do things for attention. It was just not my kind of person,” Yoly shared while assessing some off-camera minutes. “There was no Lexi coercing all of us not to like her.”
