"I Didn't Know He Kissed [SPOILER]": Dickson Reveals Unaired "First Kiss" on DONDI
It takes a lot to surprise Boston Rob, but DONDI's chaotic Dickson Wong managed to do just that.
This story contains spoilers for Deal or No Deal Island Season 2, Episode 9, "Million Dollar Walk."
Following Dickson Wong's elimination from Deal or No Deal Island, he managed to slip one final blindside against Boston Rob after making his way to the Deal or No Deal Island After Show.
Dickson succeeded in the game thanks to his goofy humor, unassuming disposition, and strategic alliance with Survivor star Parvati Shallow — his childhood reality TV crush — and David Genat, the covert "Golden God" of Survivor: Australia. The sweet, "innocent" Dickson developed a familial bond with the Survivor titans as a member of "The Family" alliance, with Dickson cementing his status as a hidden threat after securing $5 million to the collective pot during his early-season game against the Banker.
Along with The Family, Dickson made it to the Final Six for the March 4 episode, when it became more critical than ever to chisel away at the all-powerful alliance. David and Parvati gained safety after crushing the Excursion, but their Banker's Island "son" remained a sitting duck. After Alexis Lete played a successful game against the Banker, Dickson's game came to an end.

Following his disheartening exit from The Family, Dickson visited Boston Rob to discuss his island game, dishing some juicy details about the player who ultimately gave him the axe. Read on to learn more!
Dickson Wong blindsided Boston Rob with news of a DONDI smooch
The grand irony of Dickson's DONDI exit was that he was sent home by Lete, his Banker's Island "girlfriend." Knowing the path toward the end was getting narrow, Dickson tried to swoon Lete into an alliance. Dickson attempted to gain Lete's trust by gifting her a romantic friendship bracelet and proposing a blindside against his "mother," Parvati. Was it game, or a budding showmance? Regardless, Dickson wasn't shy about his attraction toward Lete.
Lete was charmed by Dickson's pitch and seemed willing to dive into his plan, but after Dickson failed to go after The Family during the Excursion, Lete took him out. Talk about a heartbreak. Rob chewed Dickson out for not only fumbling his showmance but also not strategically pivoting when he had the chance. Rob then focused on the good news.
"I don't know if it will be Lete or not, but I think after all of America watches you on [DONDI] you're gonna get a first kiss," Rob said, recalling Dickson's pre-season interview.
"I've never kissed like, a girl, post-high school," Dickson told cameras at the time. "Like, never actual first kiss before, that I consider it to be like, a good first kiss."
Just as Rob encouraged viewers to slide him a DM, a smug Dickson had a bomb to drop the DONDI After Show host.
"Oh Rob, Rob, Rob," Dickson shook his head. "I already kissed Lete already."
"Did you?" Rob asked increduously.
"Yeah," Dickson confirmed. "I did."
"When did this happen?" Rob asked.
"It was on our off day, you know?" Dickson teased. "We want to keep it private."
"Don't mess with me, dude," Rob said, laughing. "You can't get me. Good try, though."
"What!?" Dickson said, his jester mask slipping. "I'm telling you the truth here!"
"Is there truth to this?" Rob asked production, getting an off-screen confirmation that Dickson was being truthful.
"BAM!" Dickson cheered. "Look at that!"
Rob remained dubious: "Do we have this on camera?"
But the proof was in the pudding! Production backed Dickson's claim up with an exclusive clip of unaired footage. In the video, the DONDI players ride the bus to Temple and can be seen cheering for a beat-red Dickson and a giggling Lete. After some endearing timidness on Dickson's behalf, Lete finally grabbed his face and planted a smooch, earning uproarious applause from the entire bus.
Between Dickson's endless sarcasm, sporadic gameplay, and mind-boggling rizz, Boston Rob was scratching his head for several reasons by the After Show's end.
"What the f---?" Rob asked production, earning some chuckles. "I didn't know he kissed Lete!"
