“It’s well known that I’m a fair-weather friend of music, it’s not my thing,”Variety heard from him. “But it seems to always be there as a Brady. So, this was an opportunity for the three of us. The way it was pitched to me is that Barry and Mike realized that this wasn’t going to happen, because I probably wasn’t going to say yes. And I thought, you know, that’s a terrible position to be in. So, regardless of how I felt, I needed to step up to make it happen. And it was it was a great experience. I’m glad I did it.”
Lookinland stated that he had to adapt to being disguised while on set. “I for one, am very into chatting and just talking to the wardrobe people, talking to the transpo guys,”He said. “There was none of that, zero. We were hooded and concealed.”

The group also admitted being in shock that they didn’t get to do more beyond this episode and had other songs ready to go. “I wasn’t upset about being eliminated, I was more, like, devastated,”Williams stated. “I was numb… I thought for sure we’d at least be going head-to-head at the end. It was like somebody hit me in the stomach with a baseball bat!”
