and I had no experience with anything like that so I was very anxious at the time.\u201d<\/div>\n<div\/>\n<div> <\/div>\n<div\/>\n<div>She added that as \u201cpretty much half\u201d of her pre-recorded rounds in the competition didn\u2019t make it into the episodes, the audience didn\u2019t know much about her when she made it to the live shows.<\/div>\n<div\/>\n<div>\u201cI was the only person on the whole season that the viewers didn\u2019t know anything about and that affected my vote so I was eliminated pretty early on.\u201d<\/div>\n<div\/>\n<div>\n<div
