Read our full questions and answers below.

The show is currently number one in over 90 countries. What do you think of the impact the series has had in such a short time? Evin Ahmad: This is insane. First of all, I never imagined that this show would be number one in 90 countries. I was just happy that it was number one in my own country, Sweden. I remember coming home a few days ago. I thought, “Wow, that's number one in Sweden. "My agent called me, my American agent, and he was like, 'Man, you're number one in America. I'm like, "What? He says, “You're number one here. Your show is number one here in America. From there, it was a crazy adventure. I never would have guessed it, but I'm so happy. I am so grateful. I couldn't have hoped for a better result than this.

Fortunately, I have already trained in kickboxing. I did kung fu. I am not afraid of the physical aspects of the job. Also, since I was dancing before and everything is basically choreography, it worked.

But I really wish I could have built a little more muscle because I think I'm so short on the show. I'm like, I don't know if it's 100% believable. But what can I do? I didn't have time, to be honest. You know what pisses me off? I read some comments on YouTube and they said, “How are we going to believe that this woman is criticizing all these men? In fact, I'm pretty strong. I have the mindset of a warrior. I could ...
