Since Deal or No Deal Island premiered, the hit reality show has become one of Peacock’s best shows. There are many reasons why DONDI is a must-see show for reality show fans, including how great Joe Manganiello is as a host, shocking blindsides, and complicated relationships. It has also been exciting to see DONDI feature the Survivor Hall of Famer Parvati Show and Big Brother’s most iconic player, Dr. Will Kirby, who has been very daring on the show.
After previously escaping a show to get drunk, it has been amazing to see Dr. Will play a game with a dynamic person like Seychelle Cordero. A hilarious and fantastic reality show star with a lot of amazing things to say, Seychelle revealed to TheThings that she loved one of her castmates and couldn’t stand another.
Deal Or No Deal Island’s Seychelle Cordero Loved Playing The Game With Dr. Will Kirby
During Deal or No Deal Island Season 2, it quickly became clear that Seychelle Cordero was one of the season’s best cast members. Truly hilarious, Seychelle seemed like she had a funny one-liner about everything that happened in the game. As a result, when TheThings journalist Matthew Thomas interviewed Seychelle in Febrauary 2025, she was asked to name her favorite one-liner she uttered on the show.
“Favorite one liner? I mean, probably the flat-ass remark. I did have so many phenomenal one liners. I love the Sex and the City line. I loved when I called the family dweebs. But probably my favorite is the flat a**.”
The only other Deal or No Deal Island Season 2 cast member who similarly seemed to love being funny on the show was Dr. Will Kirby. With that in mind, it is fascinating that Seychelle exclusviely told TheThings how much she loved Dr. Will.
While talking to TheThings, Seychelle was asked about her relationship with Dr. Will.

In response, Seychelle began by explaining to TheThings how much she liked playing the game with Dr. Will. As she explained, Seychelle loved how entertaining Dr. Will was during Deal or No Deal Island Season 2.
“I love people like [Dr. Will] on reality TV. So I think what he does is so phenomenal. I totally understand why people consider him the greatest Big Brother player of all time.”
As entertaining as Dr. Will and Seychelle both were on Deal or No Deal Island, it is fantastic to know she enjoyed playing with him so much.
Later during the same TheThings interview, Seychelle further discussed what it was like to play with Dr. Will.
While talking exclusively to TheThings in Februaary 2025, Seychelle Cordero revealed that she hopes to compete on more reality shows in the future. “Hell yeah. I enjoyed it so much. And, the feedback that I’m getting really it really, really warms my heart because I truly am just being myself. You know what I’m saying? So it’s such a really big compliment when people say that they enjoy watching me. So, hell yeah. I would absolutely love some.”
While talking about her relationship with the reality show legend, Seychelle stated that some DONDI players couldn’t stand Dr. Will. Then, Seychelle explained how funny she found Dr. Will to be throughout the season.
Even people in our tent were like, ‘I’m getting frustrated. Like, I really don’t like [Dr. Will],’ and I’m just like, ‘I think s*** like that is absolutely hilarious.’
During Deal or No Deal Island Season 2, viewers saw Dr. Will do some truly wild and entertaining stuff.
While talking exclusively to TheThings in February 2025, Seychelle Cordero described how she reacted when Dr. Will Kirby was added to the cast. “I was just pissed because I couldn’t believe that they were bringing another straight man on the island. We just got rid of f****** Luke’s a**, and now we have to deal with another f****** straight man. And he up on here, and he’s like, I’m the greatest Big Brother player of all time. I’m just like, this is such fucking b*******.”
Despite what fans saw Dr. Will do, Seychelle exclusively told TheThings that she loved that the Big Brother icon did many wild things that didn’t make it on the show.
“There’s so much stuff that y’all didn’t see, but when I’m talking antics, I’m talking about stuff that they couldn’t air even if they wanted to. Even if it was, like, House of Villains or some s*** like that. Like, even if it was Zeus Network. Like, well, probably Zeus Network. But, there’s so much s*** there, and I just I don’t know. Like, I love I love nonsense. I love it. And Dr. Will, when he’s on a f****** show, it’s just screaming nonsense. I love it.”
Of course, Dr. Will’s antics during Deal or No Deal Island Season 2 ultimately were negative for Seychelle. Dr. Will’s determination to lose during most excursions is what led to Seychelle being vulnerable and eliminated from the game.
While talking to TheThings, Seychelle was asked if she knew that Dr. Will wasn’t really trying to get a briefcase for her during an excursion.
While talking to TheThings in February 2025, Seychelle Cordero explained how embarrassed she would have been if she was the first player eliminated. “I was just like, ‘There’s no f****** way in hell the baddest bitch on this island is gonna go home first.’ I don’t care what nobody f****** tells you. You could do a show where you can go into your mother and your and your parents or your mother, your wife, your husband could say, honey, ‘I’m so proud of you. You know, I’m still so proud of you.’ No. That s*** embarrassing going home first.”
In response, Seychelle stated that she didn’t realize Dr. Will was throwing the challenge at first. However, Seychelle exclusively told TheThings that she realized Dr. Will threw the excursion after seeing him jump.
“No. I wasn’t. But when I saw his stupid jump and when he climbed the ladder, and he was like, ‘Seychelle, I’m just so sorry.’ I was just like, ‘It’s b*******. But I’m just like, ‘I’m gonna sit there and be raging.’ You know what I’m saying? Like, it is what it is.”
Even though Dr. Will throwing the excursion got her eliminated, Seychelle exclusively told TheThings that they are now friends outside of the game.
Will is absolutely phenomenal. He’s a psychopath on TV, but I love it. I think it’s so entertaining. Outside of the show, he is equally as entertaining, but he is such a wonderful human being.
Seychelle Cordero Couldn’t Stand Dickson Wong During Deal Or No Deal Island
When Seychelle Cordero was interviewed exclusively by TheThings in February 2025, she revealed how much some of her DONDI castmates bothered her. “I think that I was more irritated [than it seemed], but I genuinely couldn’t show it. That’s so much garbage in my confessionals. I wish the episodes were longer, because I feel like people at home would love the tea. My god. I really was dragging the majority of those people in my confessionals because I genuinely couldn’t stand, I would say, at least half of them. I don’t even think y’all really got a taste of how irritated I really was.”
As her TheThings interview continued, Seychelle made it clear that she couldn’t stand Dickson during the game. A perfect example of that came after Seychelle was asked how she felt about Dr. Will labeling Dickson a weasel during the game.
I loved it. I totally back Will. [Dickson] was [a weasel].
Seychelle went on to tell a story about why she agreed that Dickson was a weasel.
“Another thing that wasn’t shown was, Dickson was telling every single soul on that damn island, ‘Me and you to the end. Me and you to the end.’ So I’m out here thinking like, ‘Oh, we’re about to be homeboys Alyssa. Like, Aaron and Alyssa from season one.’ I’m like, ‘Okay. We about to ride together.’ And then I start hearing that he’s saying the same s*** to everybody else, and I’m just like, ‘I really don’t like him.'”
If that quote didn’t make it clear enough that Seychelle didn’t like Dickson, the next one will. Seychelle exclusively told TheThings that she couldn’t call Dickson out the way she wanted to because he was part of The Family alliance.
He got with the family quick. So I can’t f****** look him in his face and say, ‘I think you’re a f****** piece of s***.’ But I did not care for Dickson.
Similarly. Seychelle told TheThings she was annoyed by Dickson’s reaction after he won $5 million for the players in the temple. “Dickson was f****** feeling himself, and that pissed me off too. I feel like somebody like Dickson, I don’t know if something like that will ever happen to him in his life ever again for generations to come. So, he should be proud of himself. But he was feeling himself, and that pissed me off too.”
