"You don't really think about that when you're watching it. When you're doing a challenge it's not bam bam bam.
"It's like, 'Let's do this' and then 'Hold on guys, let's get your reactions'. So that was pretty surprising."
Sanam and Kai recently showed off their new home as they gave fans a tour after moving in together.
