Reality Wanted Interview
Q. Gina, RealityWanted: I've always wanted to take a camera and following reality contestants the year after their show ends and see what that next step is like. What was going on with you post-Idol and what do you think is the biggest misconception about being a winner?
A. Kris: I would say the thing that I was doing was we had to get ready for the tour. The show ends in May and the tour was July, August, and September. During that whole time, I was making my record too. I was spending time in meetings about who my agent was going to be, who my lawyer was going to be... I mean, you gotta figure all that stuff out afterwards. There's a lot of that, a lot of boring crap, but stuff that you have to have. I'm trying to think about the biggest misconception. Oh! You know what? Everyone thinks you get a million dollars when you win the show. Not true at all.
