As for how Brooke got the gig in the first place, she said there was a big casting call after Samantha Harris’ exit.
“Because I won the show that year, they didn’t call me because they’re like, ‘We know you’re a host. You’re a ballroom princess. You’ve got the mirrorball. You don’t need to audition,’” the BB Body founder recalled. “And I was like, ‘Everybody else is auditioning.’”
So, Brooke asked a producer if she could read with Tom in case a chemistry test was needed.
“I think it was a big risk,” she shared. “I think it was the right move. I think that’s why I got the job because we just lit up together. I really wanted that gig, and it was a blessing. It was an amazing experience as a host. It was so fun to dress up as a princess every day and go to work and also just to connect—connect with everybody that I had worked with, to give some love and compassion to all the contestants, to really understand what they’re going through. It was a good ride.”
