Hoda Kotb didn't hold back when asked what she thought her co-anchor's "most annoying habit" to deal with is.

The Today host was in New Orleans this week with Jenna Bush Hager, where the pair celebrated their fifth anniversary together with Today With Hoda & Jenna by recording the talk show from the Big Easy. While in town, the two sat down with Entertainment Tonight for an interview called Spilling the E-Tea.

In a preview of the segment, which airs on Monday, April 15, the publication details asking Kotb what Bush Hager's "most annoying habit" was—a question that Bush Hager said was "such a mean" one, questioning if "they [were] trying to break [them] up after five years," but Kotb was more than happy to answer after assuring everyone present that she doesn't "like to look for the flaws."

But, since they were asking, the mother of two spilled, pointing out that what she views as a big annoyance also happens to be one of her colleague's "plusses."

"She's wildly competitive," Kotb admitted, revealing that "even when she doesn't win, she's pretending like she won."

In the end, Bush Hager couldn't argue with her, conceding, "I am competitive." She's even currently "working on [her] sportsmanship" in an effort to "make sure [she's] a better sport."

While in the southern city, the two delighted viewers with plenty of surprises, including snapshots of the duo all dressed up in fabulous showgirl fashion as they trained alongside professional dancers as part of their big week.
