How would you describe Bionic?
"Bionic is a machine. As soon as that game starts, he's in the zone. he's got to get the job done. As soon as that whistle goes, that's it, he's into competitive mode."
Which are your best challenges on the show?
"Duel and Gauntlet. They require a lot of strength and power, but I think people will be surprised when they watch me on Collision. I'm more than just a big brute who will knock you off a podium....but I will do that too."
