Kelsey McKinney: 成为畅销书作者后的生活非常忙碌，几乎没有时间睡觉，但我也期待着未来的休息和自我提升，希望能够学习冥想，让自己的思维更加清晰。 我通过八卦更好地了解自己，例如发现自己潜意识里的偏见，比如对经理的不信任。我也意识到自己经常批评别人工作太多，但实际上自己工作更多，这反映了我对自己的不自知。我对别人很有同理心，但对自己却一点宽容都没有。 我认为八卦的性质主要取决于八卦的传播者，以及他们传递八卦时的意图。社会道德准则也影响着八卦的性质，我们用八卦来强化社会价值观。八卦工具更能反映使用它的人，而不是被八卦的对象。 我认为汤姆·桑多瓦尔参加《叛徒》节目，可能是其公关团队的策略，以提升他的公众形象。Gabby和Chrishell在《叛徒》节目中采取了一种“小鹿”策略，利用人们对她们的低估来获得优势。在《叛徒》等游戏中，结盟可以帮助收集八卦，更快地得出结论，并形成投票联盟。八卦是人们寻求正确生活方式的一种方式。 这次出书的经历与第一次不同，因为这次的宣传活动规模更大，平台更大，也需要更多地进行自我推销。这次人们问我的问题比第一次出书时更少涉及个人隐私，更多的是关于八卦本身。通过不断被问及我对八卦的看法，我开始更多地思考自己当下与八卦的关系。与八卦的关系就像与大学室友的关系一样，既亲密又令人疲惫。我希望人们更多地关注我在书中关于毕加索和处理负面八卦的章节。取消文化的问题在于如何平衡对名人的负面评价与其其他成就之间的关系，既要批判其错误行为，又要避免对其作品的全面否定。如果现在再写这本书，我会加入一些新的八卦案例，例如贾斯汀·巴尔多尼和布莱克·莱弗利事件。 Rachel Hampton: 与Kelsey McKinney讨论了她的新书以及她对八卦的看法。
