EDGE Interview: Stormy Daniels Heads to the DILF Mansion for Season 2 of OUTtv's Sleeper Hit

One thing that Daniels couldn't predict was when Tikas decided to exit the show on his own on Episode 3 of the first season. In that episode, Daniels gets pretty upset vocally on-camera about the departure, not because the guy had a diva moment, and not because she has become emotionally invested in him, but because he lost out on something that could have been special.

"To be quite honest, I was gonna get paid either way," she says. "I get paid whether they all leave or all stay. It was really about watching him waste an opportunity and let it pass him by. The thing that I've learned the most over the last almost six years now, dealing with all the things I've been dealing with is that there's never enough time, like when you leave this earth and go wherever we go --- when we go --- the one thing that people always wish they had more of is time. And I was angry at the situation because I felt like they were wasting an opportunity and they're wasting my time. I, instead of standing there for something that, in my opinion, they thought didn't matter, I could have been at home with my kids."

Viewers may notice some changes this season. Most television shows, especially reality TV, use their first seasons as a kind of trial run. Showrunners learn what works and what doesn't and adjust accordingly thereafter. Even though the show is unscripted, there are writers and other creatives who help with Daniel's hosting, penning her intros and rules for the challenges.

But Daniel's emphasizes that now that the training wheels are off, Season 2 is more streamlined which allows her some freedom to be more creative. "I think overall in a nutshell, it was the comfort ability, you know? We know each other now; all that awkward first date stuff is gone."

Daniel's still keeps in touch with some of the men from the show's first season. She saw Charles Moriarty one night while she was at a gay nightclub in London and she and Bobby Knight talk regularly. Even on the new season, one of the himbos is an ice skater and invited Daniels and her daughter to one of his shows.

"It's hard to live in a house with people in such a vulnerable situation and not have at least a few lasting friendships, and there's some that I hope I never see again. So there's that too," she says.

While waiting for Season 3 of "For the Love of DILFs" to begin filming, Daniels is keeping busy as an entertainer and as a businesswoman. Her Adam & Eve Original movie "Redemption" is up for several AVN awards, and she is also doing a new political/paranormal podcast called "Beyond the Norm with Stormy" on which her first guest was Kris Goldsmith, a real-life undercover MAGA cult and Neo Nazi hunter.

"It's a pretty diverse thing. It's all like, you know, porn, paranormal and the really scary stuff, which is politics. So it's pretty diverse. But please, please check that out because the more subscribers I have, the more successful it is and the more pissed off the haters get, and, you know, that's what we want."
