When questioned about the status of his relationship with Dee, Austin opted to keep it private for the time being. As the two engaged in a fierce competition and had to cut-throat to secure their spots in the finale, they may need time to reconcile their experiences and emotions.
While the aired episodes offered a gripping narrative, Austin revealed behind-the-scenes moments that added intrigue.
