On this episode of THYRST, Aneal Joshua sits down with Big Brother Canada alum John Michael for one of his most candid, unfiltered interviews yet. From going home first on BBCAN to making a full redemption arc on Slayers: Wheel of Fate hosted by Tiffany Pollard, JM opens up about strategy, identity, and what it feels like to finally have the world see the real him.

They dive into queer dynamics in game shows, the chaos and brilliance of Tiffany “New York” Pollard. The boys chat showmances, blowouts, body standards, interracial relationships, and the unexpected pressure of being a queer fan-favorite. JM also gives behind-the-scenes tea on casting, the moment he knew he had to cut his showmance partner, and how this new chapter of his life is reshaping his priorities.

It’s funny, heartfelt, messy, honest, and very, very gay.

Hit play, stay pressed, and remember: the THYRST is real.
