Why Is Zach Gilford Team Craig Conover Over Paige DeSorbo After Split?

Zach Gilford isn’t only a Bravo fan, he’s a viewer with some sizzling takes — beginning with Team Craig Conover over Team Paige DeSorbo.

“I’m Team Craig, on the record,” Gilford, 43, completely informed Us Weekly whilst discussing season 3 of Criminal Minds: Evolution. “I haven’t followed it that closely. I just saw the last episode of the Southern Charm reunion, but [I think] she did him a little dirty. Although if you watch the show, it was like, ‘Bro, she’s just not that into you.’”

Gilford praised himself on being a large Southern Charm fan, including, “I’ve watched it since the beginning, and it’s just, like, I don’t understand how it is just a constant train wreck starting from season 1. … I think it’s been cool to see them all do their version of growing up, though.”

While Gilford did see Conover’s viewpoint extra, he admitted that he isn’t as up to the moment on Summer House. In reality, Gilford is also one of the most few Bravo fanatics who would somewhat choose out of eventualities the place displays overlap, as on Winter House or Peacock’s The Traitors.

“When they do Winter House and Craig comes over and Austen [Kroll] is there, I’m like, ‘You guys should stay on Southern Charm.’ I kind of hate it when they bring all the reality stars together. That’s just me,” he defined to Us. “When you bring in characters from all the [reality TV] shows and do an Avengers of reality TV, [I get taken out of the show] because this is the least real thing in the world. These people would never have anything to do with each other. Some people like it, though.”

Gilford’s unexpected perception additionally extends to Below Deck. As Watch What Happens Live With Andy Cohen fanatics know, Gilford has a bone to pick out with lots of the solid after previously wondering how a lot they bitch.

“I love Below Deck. I’m so far behind. I’m, like, two seasons behind — but they’re such babies. They’re the biggest babies in the world,” he quipped. “[They get] to sleep for nine hours. I’m like, ‘Are you kidding?’ ‘The job is so hard.’ I’m like, ‘It’s two days.’”

Gilford used his personal enjoy to take a look at to narrate to the Below Deck solid, including, “First of all, I’m a parent. I’m like, ‘That’s all day for the next 18 years.’ Second of all, I used to lead backpacking trips for high school kids in Alaska. So I would be in the mountains in a tent, sleeping in the dirt for four weeks and these kids’ lives are on me. So you never sleep.”

He endured: “I never was like, ‘This is so hard.’ You’re making thousands of dollars to work on a yacht.”

Despite his grievance, Gilford wouldn’t cross up a possibility to seem on an episode of Below Deck.

“I would love to be a guest stew or deckhand,” he informed Us. “But the shows are so fun. I only have time for that. When I did WWHL, I was with one of the OG Housewives, so I binged that season of her show. I was like, ‘I’m kind of into this. But I don’t have time.’ I can’t have another reality show because besides that it’s Survivor and Top Chef — and then I’m done with reality TV.”
