The next contestant officially on Season 59 is Raymundo Hansen! Read his interview below:

Interviewer: "Good afternoon, Raymundo."

Raymundo: "Good afternoon."

Interviewer: "Shall we start?"

Raymundo: "Whenever you're ready."

Interviewer: "Let's begin with an introduction of yourself."

Raymundo: "My name is Raymundo Hansen. I'm a 44-year-old Sim Fu coach. I was born on June 3rd. I'm married to my lovely wife Elena with two wonderful daughters Ines and Alana. I come from a family of six: my father Miguel practised Sim fu himself while my mother Isabella took care of this family. I am the oldest of four children. My siblings are Carlos, Sofia, and Eva respectively."

Interviewer: "I can see your love for the martial art. You are even dressed like one."

Raymundo: "Many of the opponents are from China. To understand their psyche, one has to become them."

Interviewer: "Very wise words. You said your father practised Sim Fu. Is that what got you into Sim Fu?"

Raymundo: "Yes."

Interviewer: "Do your children like Sim Fu as much as you do?"

Raymundo: "More. But they are far too young."

Interviewer: "You're not an unfamiliar name in the space. You coached world champion Benison. That must be your proudest moment, seeing him clinch that title."

Raymundo: "I am happy he achieved great success."

Interviewer: "Tell me more about your aspiration. Is it to coach future generations of Sim Fu practitioners?"

Raymundo: "No. I want to make a lot of money. That's part of why I joined."

Interviewer: "Huh. You're a very deep man. What other secrets are you hiding?"

Raymundo: "If I told you, it wouldn't be a secret any more. But in Sim Fu, we learn to be honest with ourselves."

Interviewer: "Do you have any hobbies? Other than Sim Fu?"

Raymundo: "That is my job, not my hobby. I play chess occasionally."

Interviewer: "Sharp in mind and body."

Raymundo: "Sim Fu isn't just about the body."

Interviewer: "Indeed. Let's move on to the next segment. I want to know what your favourites are. Let's start with your favourite food."

Raymundo: "I like any Tex-mex cuisine."

Interviewer: "Favourite colour?"

Raymundo: "Spice brown."

Interviewer: "Favourite music genre?"

Raymundo: "Classic rock."

Interviewer: "Interesting. What songs do you like?"

Raymundo: "A couple of classics, such as Hotel California by The Eagles, Stairway To Heaven by Led Zeppelin and Bohemian Rhapsody by Queen."

Interviewer: "What kind of movies do you like?"

Raymundo: "I enjoy action a lot. Some movies I recently watched or rewatched and liked were Enter the Dragon, Kill Bill, and Bullet Train."

Interviewer: "Favourite season?"

Raymundo: "Spring."

Interviewer: "Favourite Smole season?"

Raymundo: "Season 1. That's where everything began."

Interviewer: "Favourite Mole?"

Raymundo: "Michael Mullard from Season 1. He was the pioneer Mole. He went in blind and you have to admire him for that."

Interviewer: "Do you aspire to be like him? What's your strategy on the Smole?"

Raymundo: "My strategy is to think before doing. Many mistakes are make because we do not have a clear head."

Interviewer: "Raymundo, are you the Mole?"

Raymundo: "I am not the Mole."
