What Snowflake Mountain's Sunny Malik Really Thinks Of Hosts Matt And Joel

One of the top two finalists, Sunny Malik, has some thoughts to say about his no-nonsense hosts, and his answers may surprise you.

"My initial reaction when I saw them — I said some derogatory s***. I said something like, 'They look like random dudes you'd see at like any Walmart, in the fishing section.' [That's how I saw them]," Malik said in our exclusive interview. "It was tough at first, honestly — [dealing with] two kind of alpha male type of guys. That's normally the worst thing for me; I don't like that. At first, it definitely was hard to take them serious[ly]. I genuinely did not like them at first, but over time, [I realized that] when you talk to them, they're very family oriented, and they're very genuine people, honestly."

"Joel, definitely, he 100% will go for anything," Malik continued. "He's very spontaneous. I really liked watching that, and I definitely took some of that from him. Matt, he's an emotional guy. I feel like we had some deep talks. It's not in the show, so I don't know if it matters to say, but we talked about our dads and stuff like that. We got deep. We had some good, nice emotional conversations. They're both really solid guys. My first impression was wrong. They're not [alpha types who would] spit [in] your face. They're genuinely sweethearts."

"Snowflake Mountain" is now streaming on Netflix.
