Reality Check - Dexter Roberts on Elimination, Arrangements, More - Video

Dexter Roberts is the latest exit interview in this video from TVLine.com writer/Reality Check host/all-around American Idol expert Michael Slezak. Season 13's seventh place finisher has a lot to say about his run on American Idol 2014, including the difficulty with rearranging songs, the unique Backstreet Boys cover in Hollywood Week, the pressure of the new "Rush Week" format, his troubling cover of "Cruise," and his best performance of the season, "One Mississippi" -- a song that basically was a duet with Season 8 fourth-place finisher Allison Iraheta. He also talks about the difficulty in clearing songs, and some of the big tracks he wanted to perform that he didn't get the opportunity to do.

It's a packed interview that runs nearly a half hour, but it's fairly incisive in illustrating that Dexter is a guy who knew what he wanted to be, and what he wanted do -- even if he didn't always get to do it. Check out the full interview below via TVLine.com:
