âIâm like, âYou guys are OK with me doing this right?â And theyâre like, âYeah, it looks cool,'â she shared.
Rizzo also asked them whether they think her late husband would approve of her partaking in the show.
âAnd I was like, âYou think your dad would be OK with me doing this? Right?â And theyâre like, âYeah, we think heâd be proud,'â she said.
His daughters, whom she remained close to following Sagetâs death, also told her, âHeâd think youâre crazy, but we think heâd be proud.â

According to the showâs synopsis, 16 celebrities will compete against one another and âface the harshest of environments that simulate the highly classified selection process, pushing themselves in the ultimate test of their physical, mental and emotional resilience and revealing the celebritiesâ deepest and truest character.â
In an interview with Fox News Digital, Rizzo shared what she believes her late husband would think about her joining the show.
âHe would have thought I was crazy. I mean, like, âWhat are you doing?â Because there is no way he would ever have done anything like this. It just would have been way too out of his comfort zone,â she said.
Rizzo continued, âThis was less than a five-star hotel experience. Sleeping on a military green Army cot⌠he would have been like, âI canât ever see myself doing this. How on Earth are you doing this?'â
On Jan. 9, 2022, in Orlando, Florida, the âFull Houseâ star was found dead in his hotel room. He was 65.
