Another interview with her! She answers similar questions to EW’s article (naturally). When she’s put on the spot, she’s asked about her previous connections and if they hurt her, if she was hesitant to align with Tom, what the Heroes need to do to win, and if some Heroes are really Villains.

TVGuide.com: Why do you think James pointed the finger at you, more than anyone else, after the challenge?
Stephenie LaGrossa: He was yelling the whole challenge at everyone, so the moment we lost, he was cursing and looking right at me. I got defensive. It wasn’t just me talking … He just lost his stuff … Yes, I was talking during the challenge. We all were. There were moments when J.T. was supposed to be leading us through this challenge and nothing was being said. … At one point Candice stepped up and she kind of was leading the challenge. It’s good if there’s one voice but if that one voice is wrong or stumped, you have to move on to plan B. From the beginning, we never had that challenge right.TVGuide.com: Was there conflict between you and James before the challenge?
Stephenie: James was really in tight with Amanda and J.T., and we were trying to get J.T., at least Tom and Colby were. Rupert, from day one, didn’t like me, and he was kind of in with them. I still don’t know to this day why he didn’t like me, but he told Colby he didn’t like me. I don’t know if they all stuck together and I was on the outs or what. To be honest, I’m a really outgoing person and I was really quiet this season. There were many times this season me, Tom, Colby and Cirie just kind of sat back and didn’t say anything. … It just really wasn’t a fun group of people to be around.
