Paige spoke with Scott Fishman of Channel Guide Magazine about the new season of Total Divas debuting next week. Here are some highlights

on Total Divas
I love Total Divas,” she said.

“We just did a bit more filming a couple of days ago. I totally enjoy it. The crew is always super nice to us. They treat us so well. They are always so respectful. I’m definitely using it as a platform to send a positive message, which I think is happening. I want to show how real and relatable we are.

on Amanda joining Total Divas
When she got interviewed for Total Divas, you will see my reaction. At first I was very shocked. We were all very shocked, but I definitely think she is a great addition. We needed to spice things up a little bit. What better way to do it than with a girl who is a diva 2.0. I just told her yesterday to make sure she trained and worked hard on the road. I wanted her to know to work hard because there are a lot of girls who bust their butt every single day on the road. Nobody ever gets any sleep. We definitely want girls who can do it all.

on the new season
I feel like this one is definitely an award-winning season… There are a couple of episodes and a lot of things that will hit home to everyone. It’s emotional. It can make you angry. It can make you feel all these things. This one is my favorite season by far. I know everyone says that because they are going to get you to watch their show, but honestly this is one of my favorite seasons. I enjoyed every single bit of it. I’m excited for people to start watching it.

E’s Total Divas premieres 9 p.m. ET Tuesday, Jan. 19.
