CNN —“Monkey Man,” Dev Patel’s directorial debut action thriller that he also stars in, wrote and produced, opens with a tale familiar to Hindus around the world.

I came out of reality TV retirement to go on "The Traitors." I'm going through my texts and one is like, "Hey, I'm a reality TV producer, I want to get you on this show." I couldn't eat and also pretend that I didn't know who got murdered, so I just did my best to hang out. I enjoyed competing on 'The Traitors,' but I'm done with reality TV for good this timeGheesling is saying bye to reality TV, for real this time. As far as returning to reality TV, I think this was it for me.

On why Dan is making a big mistake in underestimating Peter and BergieDan underestimating Pete and Bergie might be his downfall on "The Traitors." I think she's super stealth when she needs to be. I think she's going to continue to work with Parvati and she'll continue to protect the Faithfuls that she can. AdvertisementAs far as the best Traitor game — hands down, Phaedra. Oh, I want Peter, Bergie, Trishelle, or John to win, of course.

I've had people say to me that the energy went down and people started to get really, really argumentative in there, so it's what happens when you get rid of me. Speaking of "Love Island," obviously you and Bergie were representing "Love Island" UK and US on "The Traitors." I love "Love Island," but for me, "Love Island" was 2022 season eight, and for me, that is a chapter closed. There's so much I want to do in my life now, and I don't think "Love Island" fits in that category. I'd love to host shows like "Love Island," but I definitely wouldn't go back as a contestant.

Zamerun Nisha, 33, lies down after giving birth while a doctor holds and cleans her newborn baby, at the labor ward of a community health center in Bahadurganj subdivision of Kishanganj district, Bihar, India, March 21, 2023. India’s fertility rate, fell to 2.0 in 2019-21, but State health officials estimate Kishanganj's fertility rate at 4.8 or 4.9, creating a population growth problem that the state is trying to curb with the distribution of condoms and birth control pills, as well as the paying 3,000 Indian rupees ($36.50) to women who get sterilized, 4,000 rupees to men, and 500 rupees per surgery to the health workers who perform them. "I talk to women while they are experiencing labor pain and nudge them to undergo sterilization immediately after delivery," said Parvati Rajak, a medical officer in one of Kishanganj’s seven government health centers. "But the final choice is always made by the family." REUTERS/Anushree FadnavisClose
