While Richard discovered he was not made for reality television, he did enjoy making new friends and reconnecting with old ones, like his biodome pal, WWE star Ronda Rousey.

"We were friends before filming. Ron has always been great," Richard told us. "So it was great to see her again and hang out. We did some projects before this and so she's always been cool and very kind. So it was great to spend more extended time."

As for the rest of the cast, Richard revealed there is a Stars on Mars group chat!

"They created a group chat so everybody kind of chimes in from time to time," he added. Despite his early exit, Richard has no regrets about competing on the show.

It was cool, meeting the people, trying something different, but that's how you learn stuff that isn't for you."

Watch Stars on Mars Mondays at 8 p.m. EST on FOX.
