“I think everybody was just really happy to be filming with an OG,” said Jenner, 39. “I mean, Kristin just adds so much to the show. She’s so great, she’s been doing this so long. She’s a pleasure to be around, but she’s a firecracker.”

“She comes in, she stirs up the pot,” he added. “She gets everybody riled up and definitely knows how to make some good television. It was nice to have her on. I wish she would be on for the entire season.”

OnReality Check, Jenner also opened up about his experience filming with exKaitlynn Carter.

“Kaitlynn and I are both very amicable and [on] very good terms,” said Jenner, who split from Carter, 32, in 2019, justone year after their Indonesian wedding. “I love Kaitlynn. We spent six years together, lived together. We definitely made sure that when we did split, we maintained our friendship. We still talk all the time. We kind of share dogs together, because we had dogs. When she’s here, she’ll come over and hang and play with the dogs.”

He continued, “Kaitlynn’s a great girl. I love her death. It’s been fun filming with her on the show. At first, I was like, ‘Is that going to be weird, having your ex-wife on the show?’ It really hasn’t been at all. She’s got her relationships and things that she’s going through on the show that I kind of talk to her about and we connect. Ultimately, I’m there for her for whatever she needs.”

Fellow OG starAudrina Patridgeadditionally made the surprising confession that she likely won’t be watching this season. “I do love it. It’s a great [season]. It’s just reliving everything,” said Patridge, 32. “There’s a few awkward moments that I don’t know if I want to watch!”
