1 00:00:10,080 --> 00:00:14,540 Well, for the first time since Thailand, we have all 16 survivors back together. 2 00:00:14,840 --> 00:00:19,120 We are live at CBS Studios in LA, and we're going to spend the next hour 3 00:00:19,120 --> 00:00:20,400 to the bottom of a few things. 4 00:00:20,880 --> 00:00:24,380 First, though, guys, I've got to tell you, I've done five of these now, and I 5 00:00:24,380 --> 00:00:28,880 still can't put any rhyme or reason to what it takes to do well in this game. 6 00:00:29,310 --> 00:00:33,410 Richard Hatch wins by controlling the game, our first winner. Tina Wesson wins 7 00:00:33,410 --> 00:00:36,510 in Australia, basically because people respected her, I think. 8 00:00:36,770 --> 00:00:38,350 Ethan wins because he's likable. 9 00:00:38,590 --> 00:00:42,150 Last season in the Marquesas, Pesepia wins by flying under the radar. And this 10 00:00:42,150 --> 00:00:46,870 season, you do everything but fly under the radar, and you win. So I still don't 11 00:00:46,870 --> 00:00:51,230 have a clue. All I know is that starting from my first impressions, I never, 12 00:00:51,290 --> 00:00:54,330 ever would have predicted how this thing would have turned out. Having said all 13 00:00:54,330 --> 00:00:55,630 that, Brian, congratulations. 14 00:00:56,110 --> 00:00:57,110 Thank you. Thank you. 15 00:01:06,280 --> 00:01:11,340 I will say, though, watching you out there, I don't know what other people 16 00:01:11,340 --> 00:01:15,700 think. I think you're one of the smartest players to play this game. And 17 00:01:15,700 --> 00:01:17,040 thought out there was that. 18 00:01:17,560 --> 00:01:21,540 You know, if your tribe were a totem pole, the thing I thought was great is 19 00:01:21,540 --> 00:01:25,560 were never at the head of that totem pole. But you never took control, but 20 00:01:25,560 --> 00:01:28,160 were always in control of the game. Was that your game plan? 21 00:01:28,400 --> 00:01:33,020 Well, positive affirmations on a daily basis really helped. And also actually 22 00:01:33,020 --> 00:01:36,860 enjoying the sort of game that you were playing. Because every day I had to wake 23 00:01:36,860 --> 00:01:39,840 up and remind myself, this is a game. We're not out here. We're not at Club 24 00:01:40,250 --> 00:01:43,550 We're not having waitresses bringing us down food. We're actually playing some 25 00:01:43,550 --> 00:01:46,210 sort of game. There's no mind games out there, but just kind of reminding 26 00:01:46,210 --> 00:01:48,990 yourself what exactly you're doing out there, the purpose for being out there, 27 00:01:49,090 --> 00:01:55,870 confirming. Got it. Having said that, you barely won over a guy who 28 00:01:55,870 --> 00:02:00,210 literally, and Clay, I know this is fresh and probably hard to be sitting 29 00:02:00,210 --> 00:02:04,830 right now, but you won by one vote over a guy who badgered three people on the 30 00:02:04,830 --> 00:02:07,670 jury and still got three of the other four votes. You had to be a little 31 00:02:07,670 --> 00:02:09,729 surprised that you squeaked this out. 32 00:02:11,459 --> 00:02:15,040 Well, I mean, Clay, he's a very tough competitor. No, no, no. 33 00:02:16,420 --> 00:02:18,360 We're not doing this anymore. 34 00:02:18,640 --> 00:02:21,760 What I'm getting at, let me then go to Clay. Maybe he'll give me an answer. 35 00:02:23,440 --> 00:02:26,600 Let's think about it. You know this is going to be the jury, right? 36 00:02:27,160 --> 00:02:28,360 You've got seven people. 37 00:02:29,240 --> 00:02:32,440 Jake, you give a tongue lashing to before you even get to tribal council. 38 00:02:33,050 --> 00:02:34,910 He gives you a chance to get out of it. You hit him again. 39 00:02:35,530 --> 00:02:39,030 Ted, you sort of talk around his question. You give him an answer, but 40 00:02:39,030 --> 00:02:41,610 say, you know what, I'm done. Helen, you flat out say, I'm not going to say 41 00:02:41,610 --> 00:02:43,890 anything to Helen because nothing's going to satisfy you. 42 00:02:44,690 --> 00:02:48,190 I'm just thinking, you played great to get to this point, but why didn't you 43 00:02:48,190 --> 00:02:51,290 harder at that point at the end of the show to get one of those votes? That's a 44 00:02:51,290 --> 00:02:52,490 $900 ,000 vote. 45 00:02:53,250 --> 00:02:56,410 Well, first of all, I thought, Jake, I mean, we're from the same part of the 46 00:02:56,410 --> 00:02:59,530 country. I mean, we have arguments every day over different things. 47 00:03:00,010 --> 00:03:02,010 And I thought, it's done with, it's over. 48 00:03:02,720 --> 00:03:06,960 You know, it wasn't a big... It's something we disagreed on. You know, it 49 00:03:06,960 --> 00:03:10,180 wasn't... You really thought he was just going to say, oh, that old play. No, 50 00:03:10,180 --> 00:03:14,580 no. I didn't think he said just that old thing, but I didn't know he'd hold it 51 00:03:14,580 --> 00:03:16,220 in his heart like that, I guess. 52 00:03:16,720 --> 00:03:22,980 But he did. I mean, we're... He's... You get my point, right? Yes, I understand 53 00:03:22,980 --> 00:03:26,440 your point. You got all this way, and then you just started cutting bridges 54 00:03:26,440 --> 00:03:27,440 and right. 55 00:03:28,280 --> 00:03:29,280 I didn't. 56 00:03:29,390 --> 00:03:32,650 I didn't think I was cutting a bridge with Jake, I can tell you that. With 57 00:03:32,810 --> 00:03:36,850 I totally don't know where he'd come up with me saying something racist. I'm 58 00:03:36,850 --> 00:03:42,410 still, to this day, confused about that. We'll figure that out. Helen, she was 59 00:03:42,410 --> 00:03:44,270 so mad, it wouldn't matter how I'd answered. 60 00:03:44,530 --> 00:03:46,290 I believe her mind was already made up. 61 00:03:46,490 --> 00:03:47,029 All right. 62 00:03:47,030 --> 00:03:51,470 Brian, you had alliances deep into the show, basically with Ted and with Helen 63 00:03:51,470 --> 00:03:55,630 and with Clay. And it was pretty clear in your interviews in the show that you 64 00:03:55,630 --> 00:03:58,650 were going to, if you got the opportunity, take whoever you could with 65 00:03:59,080 --> 00:04:01,800 Whichever one would benefit you best. Why in the end did you pick Clay? 66 00:04:02,280 --> 00:04:03,460 One word, paranoia. 67 00:04:04,280 --> 00:04:10,960 Paranoia of everyone else that they could obviously beat me along the way. 68 00:04:11,000 --> 00:04:15,020 And the fact that Clay did make a few mistakes and he allowed himself to allow 69 00:04:15,020 --> 00:04:18,019 his emotions to take over where he didn't think before he acted. 70 00:04:18,240 --> 00:04:19,760 Meaning Clay had more enemies? 71 00:04:20,060 --> 00:04:21,060 Correct. Correct. 72 00:04:21,339 --> 00:04:22,360 Okay. Clay had more enemies. 73 00:04:22,890 --> 00:04:25,550 All right. And guys, let's do this like we do at Tribal Council. Give me a 74 00:04:25,550 --> 00:04:28,430 direct answer, because we only got an hour, so we don't have to talk about it. 75 00:04:28,950 --> 00:04:32,110 Because we talked about this. It was your wise move. You didn't pick Jan, who 76 00:04:32,110 --> 00:04:33,290 you might have liked more or thought. 77 00:04:33,530 --> 00:04:35,510 Right. You picked Clay because strategically. 78 00:04:35,970 --> 00:04:36,970 Correct. Better move. 79 00:04:37,650 --> 00:04:40,050 Just a decision you had to make out there. 80 00:04:40,330 --> 00:04:42,750 Ted, where did, as Clay says. 81 00:04:43,370 --> 00:04:46,950 Seemed to take him by surprise. It took me by surprise because it never came up 82 00:04:46,950 --> 00:04:50,590 anywhere in the show. All of a sudden you make a comment about racism. Where 83 00:04:50,590 --> 00:04:54,150 that come from? Actually, it took me by surprise also. But it came when Helen 84 00:04:54,150 --> 00:04:56,770 and I had a conversation after Helen was voted off. 85 00:04:57,130 --> 00:05:01,190 And we got on the subject of racism. And I asked, well, do you know whether Clay 86 00:05:01,190 --> 00:05:02,810 has made any racist comments? 87 00:05:03,130 --> 00:05:04,130 And she told me yes. 88 00:05:04,570 --> 00:05:07,830 And I respected Helen enough to really take that to heart. 89 00:05:08,170 --> 00:05:11,390 And since then, I mean, that was something dear to me. And I was pissed 90 00:05:11,390 --> 00:05:12,390 because of that. 91 00:05:12,410 --> 00:05:15,490 Is it fair to make a million -dollar vote based on hearsay? 92 00:05:16,890 --> 00:05:20,470 You know, I don't know. I don't know. I mean, I'll be honest with you. I don't 93 00:05:20,470 --> 00:05:24,030 know. But I know for me, hearing that comment and hearing that it came from 94 00:05:24,030 --> 00:05:28,370 Clay, a person that I thought was totally different there and beyond that, 95 00:05:28,490 --> 00:05:31,570 really surprised me. And I took it to heart. So I didn't really base it on 96 00:05:31,570 --> 00:05:33,130 whether or not it was hearsay or not. 97 00:05:33,470 --> 00:05:37,370 Because, Helen, you're the one who supplied the info, and yet you're also 98 00:05:37,370 --> 00:05:42,070 same person who was – on Brian's butt for taking something based on hearsay. 99 00:05:42,090 --> 00:05:45,310 That's the only point I'm trying to get at is that you guys get out of the game 100 00:05:45,310 --> 00:05:47,950 and then you start talking, and how do you know Helen doesn't have a grudge 101 00:05:47,950 --> 00:05:52,530 against Clay? I mean, she could have, but I trusted Helen enough, and events 102 00:05:52,530 --> 00:05:56,650 leading up to that of where she heard the comment, I kind of believed her. So 103 00:05:56,650 --> 00:05:58,870 went with what my gut told me. 104 00:05:59,110 --> 00:06:00,110 And now the bigger question. 105 00:06:00,670 --> 00:06:01,690 You're down to five. 106 00:06:02,510 --> 00:06:05,990 Jake had told you guys, it's Brian and Clay. They're going to win this thing. 107 00:06:06,030 --> 00:06:07,030 You've got to do something. 108 00:06:07,469 --> 00:06:12,290 What was it? Why couldn't you and Helen and Jan take one of these guys out and 109 00:06:12,290 --> 00:06:13,850 break that power link? 110 00:06:14,190 --> 00:06:18,430 I mean, for me, it was I didn't trust Jake at that time. 111 00:06:18,850 --> 00:06:24,290 And I didn't think that we could really get Jan in. I didn't think she was 112 00:06:24,290 --> 00:06:29,690 emotionally stable enough for us to really negotiate that deal with her 113 00:06:29,690 --> 00:06:32,910 going to tell Clay and Brian, hey, this is what they're trying to do. 114 00:06:33,740 --> 00:06:38,400 Jan, what about that? You had some ups and downs out there emotionally, but 115 00:06:38,400 --> 00:06:41,680 you aware that they were trying to form a new threesome? 116 00:06:42,660 --> 00:06:47,100 I thought I could have been a swing vote, and I thought they would approach 117 00:06:47,200 --> 00:06:50,760 and they never did. And, of course, I could have approached them, but I 118 00:06:50,760 --> 00:06:53,480 Helen, you just turned around and dropped your jaw on that. 119 00:06:54,000 --> 00:06:55,060 I did approach you. 120 00:06:55,340 --> 00:06:56,480 Oh, I'm sorry. 121 00:06:58,680 --> 00:06:59,680 I begged. 122 00:07:00,240 --> 00:07:01,240 I begged. 123 00:07:02,040 --> 00:07:03,040 It was our chant. 124 00:07:03,520 --> 00:07:04,960 Jan, so you lose Ted. 125 00:07:05,500 --> 00:07:07,560 Okay, you lose Ted. Now you're down to four. 126 00:07:09,120 --> 00:07:15,260 Do you remember the time when Brian and Clay stood above you in a very 127 00:07:15,260 --> 00:07:16,260 intimidating pose? 128 00:07:16,500 --> 00:07:17,980 Do you remember what Brian said to you? 129 00:07:19,140 --> 00:07:20,960 That we were going to vote Helen out. 130 00:07:21,160 --> 00:07:24,420 Yeah. Yes, I do remember. Now, what was going through your head? Why was that a 131 00:07:24,420 --> 00:07:25,420 good move for you? 132 00:07:26,960 --> 00:07:31,040 I didn't know if I wanted to go that way. 133 00:07:31,720 --> 00:07:36,660 I should have approached Helen and said, Helen, let's do a tie. But we had all 134 00:07:36,660 --> 00:07:41,600 kind of agreed on that earlier, so we wouldn't have to pull the ball at the 135 00:07:41,600 --> 00:07:43,820 for a tie. It was an error. 136 00:07:44,360 --> 00:07:47,500 Brian's comment to you was, Jan, you're going to get third place, and that's 137 00:07:47,500 --> 00:07:48,500 pretty good. 138 00:07:48,960 --> 00:07:55,100 Third place is $15 ,000 more than fourth, and it's just about a million 139 00:07:55,100 --> 00:07:59,120 first. So that's the question, I guess, I'm wondering about. 140 00:08:00,270 --> 00:08:03,730 I guess, Helen, maybe the question is to you. How frustrating is it? Because 141 00:08:03,730 --> 00:08:06,750 you're a lame duck at that point. You don't have that extra person you're 142 00:08:06,750 --> 00:08:07,750 supposed to have to play with. 143 00:08:09,790 --> 00:08:12,930 It was so frustrating. I mean, I love Jan. 144 00:08:13,150 --> 00:08:17,290 I really do. But that was our chance. We could have controlled the game. We 145 00:08:17,290 --> 00:08:21,490 could control the game. We could have gone all the way. We could have done it. 146 00:08:21,490 --> 00:08:22,129 don't know. 147 00:08:22,130 --> 00:08:27,170 I screwed up. I'm sorry. No, that's... You know, I mean... You didn't screw up 148 00:08:27,170 --> 00:08:29,130 anything. You can play the game any way you want. 149 00:08:29,740 --> 00:08:31,080 But we did have a chance. 150 00:08:31,660 --> 00:08:35,200 Well, now, when you saw the show, because it is tough out there. One thing 151 00:08:35,200 --> 00:08:38,960 don't think people who haven't gone through it can appreciate what it is 152 00:08:38,960 --> 00:08:43,720 36, 37 days with no food, in the rain, sleeping, all this stuff. 153 00:08:44,920 --> 00:08:48,860 Do you look back on that now and think, wow, I wish I'd have made a different 154 00:08:48,860 --> 00:08:50,420 move? Yes, I do. 155 00:08:50,760 --> 00:08:53,880 But at that point, I really felt like I was a functioning robot. 156 00:08:54,420 --> 00:08:57,560 You know, you're just working on. 157 00:08:58,350 --> 00:08:59,510 You have nothing left. 158 00:09:00,050 --> 00:09:05,170 And so I wasn't thinking clearly. And, yes, I do wish I'd made moves or at 159 00:09:05,170 --> 00:09:09,250 gone to talk to her one -on -one or talk to Ted and formed an alliance. 160 00:09:09,690 --> 00:09:12,170 Helen, what was it that made you trust Brian in the first place? 161 00:09:15,870 --> 00:09:17,930 Brian had a similar work ethic to mine. 162 00:09:18,350 --> 00:09:23,720 So I know, you know, that's... You don't know these people. And so one or two 163 00:09:23,720 --> 00:09:27,760 days into it, I sized up quickly who was pulling the weight in the camp and who 164 00:09:27,760 --> 00:09:28,880 was pulling their fair share. 165 00:09:29,400 --> 00:09:31,280 And he made a comment to me one time. 166 00:09:31,780 --> 00:09:35,540 We got up to pour the water that had boiled, and we were pouring it into the 167 00:09:35,540 --> 00:09:39,340 containers. And he goes, H, I'll help you. And I said, I got it. And he goes, 168 00:09:39,440 --> 00:09:41,920 no, no, no, I'll help you. And he got up and he whispered in my ear, he said, 169 00:09:42,040 --> 00:09:44,500 because, you know, H, if we don't do it, it's not going to get done. 170 00:09:45,400 --> 00:09:48,040 And it was nice to hear that somebody was acknowledging that. 171 00:09:48,460 --> 00:09:52,540 You know, I was getting up every day and doing everything, staying as busy as I 172 00:09:52,540 --> 00:09:53,580 could. And so was he. 173 00:09:53,880 --> 00:09:57,380 He was staying busy. Did your opinion of him change after seeing the show? Yes, 174 00:09:57,420 --> 00:09:58,420 sir. 175 00:10:04,340 --> 00:10:06,440 Would you have changed your vote? Yes, sir. 176 00:10:06,820 --> 00:10:08,040 Really? Yes, sir. 177 00:10:08,920 --> 00:10:11,620 Even for Clay, somebody that you seemed to like less? That would have been 178 00:10:11,620 --> 00:10:12,620 tough. 179 00:10:22,000 --> 00:10:25,220 All right, let's recap the votes. These are the votes we know. We saw Penny and 180 00:10:25,220 --> 00:10:26,220 Aaron voted for Clay. 181 00:10:26,400 --> 00:10:30,280 Ted and Helen voted for Brian. Here were the other votes. Ken voted for Clay. 182 00:10:30,760 --> 00:10:33,000 And Jan and Jake both voted for Brian. 183 00:10:33,800 --> 00:10:39,640 So, Penny, what was it that made you vote the way you did? Were you voting 184 00:10:39,640 --> 00:10:41,380 Clay or against Clay? Why'd you go with Clay? 185 00:10:42,190 --> 00:10:46,090 I voted for Clay because I felt out of Clay and Brian and my time out there 186 00:10:46,090 --> 00:10:49,230 them for 12 days that Clay really tried to get to know me, and that was the 187 00:10:49,230 --> 00:10:52,810 question that I asked. I mean, he seemed to care about me as a person and seemed 188 00:10:52,810 --> 00:10:54,050 pretty genuine about it. 189 00:10:54,410 --> 00:10:58,650 And, you know, we got along pretty well and shared some stories, and I felt like 190 00:10:58,650 --> 00:11:00,410 we had a better connection than Brian and I did. 191 00:11:00,790 --> 00:11:04,090 And you guys had a relationship where he was trying to help you at a certain 192 00:11:04,090 --> 00:11:05,710 point with a vote. 193 00:11:06,570 --> 00:11:07,570 Right. 194 00:11:08,730 --> 00:11:12,950 There was a time when Clay and I actually had a conversation about how 195 00:11:12,950 --> 00:11:15,530 the Chewy Gone members were wanting to vote me out and some of them were 196 00:11:15,530 --> 00:11:20,450 to vote Jake out. And it would be in my best interest to separate from Jake and 197 00:11:20,450 --> 00:11:24,470 show them that I could not have an alliance with Jake in order to get to 198 00:11:24,470 --> 00:11:25,309 final four. 199 00:11:25,310 --> 00:11:26,610 And so I believed him. 200 00:11:27,830 --> 00:11:32,770 Clay, tell me that story. What happened was you were setting Penny up, right? 201 00:11:35,020 --> 00:11:39,040 I wouldn't call it that. I would call it putting somebody on the jury to vote 202 00:11:39,040 --> 00:11:39,619 for me. 203 00:11:39,620 --> 00:11:42,940 Because we were going to pick them off, and Penny was definitely stronger. But, 204 00:11:42,980 --> 00:11:45,840 yes, I was putting her over there to vote for me. Let me see if I got the 205 00:11:45,840 --> 00:11:49,320 right. This is what I figured out, I think, after it was all over. 206 00:11:49,580 --> 00:11:52,080 You knew it was going to be Jake. You knew it was going to be Penny. 207 00:11:52,680 --> 00:11:55,000 You knew you guys had enough votes for Jake. 208 00:11:55,220 --> 00:11:59,200 So you go to Penny and you say it's going to be Jake. Just separate yourself 209 00:11:59,200 --> 00:12:02,920 from him. You go to Brian and say, listen, we got enough votes for Penny. 210 00:12:02,920 --> 00:12:05,380 throw one Jake's way. It'll screw up who thinks the alliance. 211 00:12:05,820 --> 00:12:09,740 Meanwhile, telling Penny I'm voting for Jake. So when she sees the votes after 212 00:12:09,740 --> 00:12:14,460 she's back home being voted out, she says the only person who was honest with 213 00:12:14,460 --> 00:12:16,260 was. Right. 214 00:12:16,640 --> 00:12:20,160 I voted for who I said I was going to, too. But I agree. 215 00:12:20,580 --> 00:12:21,580 I knew. 216 00:12:22,080 --> 00:12:25,900 She was going home. Penny, did you know that until you saw it? No, I didn't. 217 00:12:25,940 --> 00:12:26,940 That's the rule. 218 00:12:27,380 --> 00:12:28,380 You're right. 219 00:12:29,720 --> 00:12:33,360 That's the rule. That's why you made it to the final two. Okay, boy, it's going 220 00:12:33,360 --> 00:12:37,320 fast. Up next, some of the most memorable moments of the season, 221 00:12:37,320 --> 00:12:40,600 one between Ted and Ganya that had everybody talking. 222 00:12:40,920 --> 00:12:43,680 I got the feeling you're trying to get with me. No, no. 223 00:12:43,900 --> 00:12:47,680 First of all, I don't need to get with you. Second of all, I'm not even 224 00:12:47,680 --> 00:12:48,680 attracted to you. 225 00:12:53,130 --> 00:12:56,810 That's what crats show in every damn thing. 226 00:13:05,710 --> 00:13:08,070 Any seat, dog? 227 00:13:08,310 --> 00:13:09,550 Woo! Mama. 228 00:13:10,290 --> 00:13:12,310 What's your name? Giddyup? Tarzan. 229 00:13:12,510 --> 00:13:13,730 I'm going. You do well. 230 00:13:15,510 --> 00:13:16,510 That's a big elephant. 231 00:13:17,710 --> 00:13:18,950 We're about 20 feet up. 232 00:13:19,970 --> 00:13:21,730 Not too high for me to jump. Me too. 233 00:13:22,870 --> 00:13:23,870 At all. 234 00:13:23,970 --> 00:13:24,970 Well, look at that. 235 00:13:34,990 --> 00:13:38,850 Well, this season was full of memorable moments, but none of them raised more 236 00:13:38,850 --> 00:13:42,930 eyebrows or spawned more water cooler talk than the incident with Ted and 237 00:13:42,930 --> 00:13:46,570 Gandhi. Here's the setup. We were still early on. It was days four, five, and 238 00:13:46,570 --> 00:13:50,070 six. And this is a time in the show when relationships are just starting to 239 00:13:50,070 --> 00:13:53,430 develop and people are beginning to align themselves with others. And in the 240 00:13:53,430 --> 00:13:56,950 case of Ted and Gandhi, they were forming a friendship. Here's a little 241 00:13:56,950 --> 00:13:58,370 of what they had going on. 242 00:14:02,319 --> 00:14:08,020 The longest I've ever been away from my husband. And Ped brings that home to me. 243 00:14:08,120 --> 00:14:12,820 It's kind of like my husband's here with me chilling. And that really made me 244 00:14:12,820 --> 00:14:13,820 feel good. 245 00:14:13,940 --> 00:14:15,540 And he's so good to hug. 246 00:14:17,160 --> 00:14:20,480 So, Gondia, at this point, things are fine. You've got a new friend. 247 00:14:21,700 --> 00:14:22,639 Everything's all right. 248 00:14:22,640 --> 00:14:23,640 Yes. 249 00:14:23,880 --> 00:14:25,520 It was cool. We were chilling. 250 00:14:26,140 --> 00:14:29,940 Well, and you had said to me that you even encouraged that with Ted, that it 251 00:14:29,940 --> 00:14:33,460 okay to be lovey -dovey because we're friends and we're out here and that's 252 00:14:33,460 --> 00:14:36,920 okay. And we're both married. And, you know, early in the game, you look for 253 00:14:36,920 --> 00:14:41,340 someone to be your homie, like someone that's going to be down for you, that's 254 00:14:41,340 --> 00:14:43,760 not going to vote for you, you're not going to vote for them. Early in the 255 00:14:43,840 --> 00:14:47,960 I felt that was important for me to develop that. And it was very clear from 256 00:14:47,960 --> 00:14:51,560 there you guys were very familiar. You had your hand and you were okay. 257 00:14:51,800 --> 00:14:52,800 And you were okay with that. 258 00:14:53,100 --> 00:14:58,140 Yeah. But at a certain point into the night, this snuggle that you guys ended 259 00:14:58,140 --> 00:15:01,560 having that we just saw crossed into an area that Gandhi wasn't as comfortable 260 00:15:01,560 --> 00:15:05,440 with. They wake up in the morning. This is part of what went down. 261 00:15:10,080 --> 00:15:12,920 What was that? 262 00:15:13,700 --> 00:15:17,760 That's what crats show in every damn day. 263 00:15:19,120 --> 00:15:21,100 When that event happened, I was waking up. 264 00:15:21,840 --> 00:15:28,320 And for some crazy reason, I started grinding Gondia. We talked about it, and 265 00:15:28,320 --> 00:15:32,540 said to Gondia, I am totally apologizing. To me, I got the feeling 266 00:15:32,540 --> 00:15:36,360 trying to get with me. No. For real. First of all, I don't need to get with 267 00:15:36,400 --> 00:15:38,700 I know you don't. Second of all, I'm not even attracted to you. 268 00:15:40,100 --> 00:15:46,860 I am 150 to 200 % happy with the wife that I have. 269 00:15:54,090 --> 00:15:59,350 the best lines 150 to 200 percent happy well obviously a lot of other stuff went 270 00:15:59,350 --> 00:16:03,870 on in this time and there were some upset feelings but what really ends up 271 00:16:03,870 --> 00:16:06,970 happening is that for the first time we have an incident that impacts people 272 00:16:06,970 --> 00:16:12,510 outside of the game your spouses so ted what happens when you walk in the door 273 00:16:12,510 --> 00:16:17,490 after being away you you got to tell them actually before i even walked out 274 00:16:17,490 --> 00:16:21,230 the door as soon as i stepped off the plane i informed my wife that You know, 275 00:16:21,230 --> 00:16:23,330 everything went fine except for this particular incident. 276 00:16:23,550 --> 00:16:27,310 And I went into grave detail, told her exactly what happened. And we worked 277 00:16:27,310 --> 00:16:28,710 through those emotions and we moved on. 278 00:16:29,270 --> 00:16:32,230 But you also said something interesting to me, which is you worked through it 279 00:16:32,230 --> 00:16:34,770 and then the episode aired. 280 00:16:34,990 --> 00:16:36,130 Right. Absolutely. 281 00:16:36,490 --> 00:16:42,470 I mean, you can't really prepare for what you actually see on television. So, 282 00:16:42,470 --> 00:16:46,250 mean, I did the best that I could do verbally explaining what went on. 283 00:16:47,000 --> 00:16:51,300 Again, actually seeing it, it was more of an embarrassment, and we worked 284 00:16:51,300 --> 00:16:53,680 through the embarrassment and the upset and stuff like that. 285 00:16:53,900 --> 00:16:54,900 And you guys are okay? 286 00:16:54,960 --> 00:16:56,320 We're okay. Good. We're wonderful. 287 00:16:56,540 --> 00:16:57,540 Good. 288 00:17:01,520 --> 00:17:06,260 Ronda, you have two levels you're playing at. One, you've got to come home 289 00:17:06,260 --> 00:17:09,480 tell your husband, hey, this is what went down. And two, you've got to say, 290 00:17:09,599 --> 00:17:12,819 you're going to see some stuff that looks like I was kind of encouraging it. 291 00:17:12,819 --> 00:17:13,819 -huh. Yeah. 292 00:17:14,079 --> 00:17:15,339 Very difficult. What did you say when you got home? 293 00:17:16,459 --> 00:17:22,140 I just told my husband everything, but I knew that when I told him what had went 294 00:17:22,140 --> 00:17:23,140 down, it would hurt him. 295 00:17:23,579 --> 00:17:29,860 That's the biggest thing I think that I wish I could take back was hurting my 296 00:17:29,860 --> 00:17:33,840 husband and hurting Ted and his family and his wife. 297 00:17:34,040 --> 00:17:36,860 You know, if I had a magic wand, I'd take it all away, that whole incident. 298 00:17:37,100 --> 00:17:38,220 And that's the thing. 299 00:17:38,540 --> 00:17:42,740 Hurting my husband was, that was the hardest part to deal with. 300 00:17:43,080 --> 00:17:44,260 And how is he with it now? 301 00:17:44,680 --> 00:17:45,680 Oh, we're cool. 302 00:17:45,830 --> 00:17:46,749 I love him. 303 00:17:46,750 --> 00:17:49,150 He's out there. He looks cool. That's my soul man. That's my man. 304 00:17:58,650 --> 00:18:02,830 And, Ted, I know I spoke with your wife just before this. You've got the baby. 305 00:18:02,970 --> 00:18:06,410 Everything's happy. So I'm glad that they can understand, too, that it's a 306 00:18:06,410 --> 00:18:08,050 environment out there and things happen. 307 00:18:08,760 --> 00:18:12,740 All right. One of the other best moments of this season, anyway, I thought, 308 00:18:12,800 --> 00:18:17,340 centered around an event that never really happened. Here's the setup. In 309 00:18:17,340 --> 00:18:21,280 the other Survivor installments, we have always merged the two tribes into one 310 00:18:21,280 --> 00:18:22,199 on day 17. 311 00:18:22,200 --> 00:18:25,400 So this group made the assumption that's going to happen again. 312 00:18:26,020 --> 00:18:29,360 Day 17 rolls around, and I tell them, okay, guys. 313 00:18:29,710 --> 00:18:32,830 The two tribes are going to be living together on one beach. They assumed this 314 00:18:32,830 --> 00:18:37,450 meant they had merged. For Cheyenne, this was great news because she didn't 315 00:18:37,450 --> 00:18:41,030 her old tribe, and now she can make friends with her new tribe, and that's 316 00:18:41,030 --> 00:18:44,070 she started to do. And here's what she found out when she discovered that her 317 00:18:44,070 --> 00:18:45,970 assumption about the merge was wrong. 318 00:18:47,090 --> 00:18:50,710 Erin, was it tough having two tribes live together on the same beach? 319 00:18:51,010 --> 00:18:54,710 To be completely honest, no, not at all. It's actually much better having both 320 00:18:54,710 --> 00:18:57,690 tribes live together. I never would have expected our merge. 321 00:18:58,170 --> 00:18:59,690 It's gone as smoothly as it has. 322 00:18:59,990 --> 00:19:00,990 You said merch. 323 00:19:01,110 --> 00:19:04,050 Yes. I certainly didn't say anything to give you that impression, did I? 324 00:19:09,030 --> 00:19:15,670 How many seconds 325 00:19:15,670 --> 00:19:17,090 before you knew you were dead? 326 00:19:17,630 --> 00:19:19,170 About .2. 327 00:19:20,590 --> 00:19:25,190 And Ken and Erin, this was a great time for you. This was good news to you. 328 00:19:25,670 --> 00:19:26,930 Definitely. Why? 329 00:19:28,180 --> 00:19:32,520 Ken? Well, the simple fact is, we went in here even to the same beach. 330 00:19:32,840 --> 00:19:35,700 We now had a trader, made it six votes to four. 331 00:19:35,900 --> 00:19:39,200 She had to go. She knew she was going no matter what. As soon as she made the 332 00:19:39,200 --> 00:19:40,460 trade, she was done. 333 00:19:40,660 --> 00:19:44,220 So when you announced that, it was like, now you're really done and you're done 334 00:19:44,220 --> 00:19:47,920 now. I was like, I know you ain't got nothing to do, but you ain't doing it 335 00:19:47,920 --> 00:19:48,920 here. 336 00:19:48,940 --> 00:19:53,080 All right. Well, a review of the best moments of the season. 337 00:19:53,560 --> 00:19:57,760 would not be complete without a visit from one of the most electric survivors 338 00:19:57,760 --> 00:20:00,980 we've ever had on the show. Rob, with two Bs. 339 00:20:01,820 --> 00:20:03,700 You tasted it all in Thailand. 340 00:20:05,940 --> 00:20:11,540 Rob had some of the most immature moments, I think, to probably one of the 341 00:20:11,540 --> 00:20:15,340 beautiful epiphanies. It was the total survivor experience. Take a look at some 342 00:20:15,340 --> 00:20:16,760 of the ugly, because maybe it was ugly. 343 00:20:19,080 --> 00:20:21,220 Don't get too cute in that attack zone, guys. 344 00:20:22,360 --> 00:20:23,360 No, no, no! 345 00:20:28,379 --> 00:20:31,840 That last time, he came at me and I put my hands out and pushed him in. 346 00:20:32,040 --> 00:20:33,520 He's a weak little whiny punk. 347 00:20:34,260 --> 00:20:35,260 Backwoods hick. 348 00:20:35,840 --> 00:20:36,840 Did you hear him? 349 00:20:38,500 --> 00:20:40,260 Screaming at me, dude. I wanted to spit in his face. 350 00:20:41,920 --> 00:20:42,920 So terrible. 351 00:20:43,120 --> 00:20:44,120 Rob. 352 00:20:50,800 --> 00:20:52,220 When you see that... 353 00:20:52,440 --> 00:20:54,280 When you see that now, what's your reaction? 354 00:20:54,500 --> 00:20:55,660 Oh, man, completely embarrassed. 355 00:20:56,240 --> 00:20:59,400 I mean, there's times in my life I've acted immature, but I've never been in 356 00:20:59,400 --> 00:21:03,680 front of 2 million people, or 20 million people, excuse me. It was pretty 357 00:21:03,680 --> 00:21:07,460 hardcore to watch it amongst my family and have everybody be like, were you 358 00:21:07,460 --> 00:21:08,460 choking that guy? 359 00:21:09,920 --> 00:21:11,860 And then afterwards, going on and on. 360 00:21:12,800 --> 00:21:16,140 Megan's face is acting like a doorknob. Well, you redeemed yourself, though, 361 00:21:16,160 --> 00:21:19,760 because by the end, it seemed to me you really had come full circle and at least 362 00:21:19,760 --> 00:21:24,540 had one moment of clarity. And it sort of culminated with this fireside chat 363 00:21:24,540 --> 00:21:28,020 where Rob talked about his new outlook on life. It's very nice. 364 00:21:28,780 --> 00:21:30,380 I'm starting to think about things, man. 365 00:21:30,860 --> 00:21:32,820 Life is so important right now to me. 366 00:21:33,040 --> 00:21:35,500 And family, you guys, is the most important thing in life. 367 00:21:36,160 --> 00:21:39,000 The people you love, people who love you just as much. 368 00:21:39,400 --> 00:21:40,400 That's what this is about. 369 00:21:40,940 --> 00:21:43,920 You guys do not understand. I didn't have a relationship with my dad for 21 370 00:21:43,920 --> 00:21:45,280 years of my life. 371 00:21:45,920 --> 00:21:48,860 And now I miss him more than I miss anyone. And I want to go home and tell 372 00:21:48,860 --> 00:21:51,460 how much I love him. I tell you what, you're a good man. I like it. 373 00:21:51,880 --> 00:21:52,880 Amen, bro. 374 00:22:00,280 --> 00:22:01,280 Ross. 375 00:22:03,500 --> 00:22:04,500 Is that... 376 00:22:05,120 --> 00:22:08,180 Last thing, I mean, did it really have an impact or did you get home and go 377 00:22:08,180 --> 00:22:10,860 to the old Rob? No, most definitely. I had a huge impact on my life. 378 00:22:11,480 --> 00:22:15,820 I definitely got home and told my dad how much I loved him. And I continue to 379 00:22:15,820 --> 00:22:16,820 this day. 380 00:22:16,840 --> 00:22:17,819 Really? For sure. 381 00:22:17,820 --> 00:22:20,180 And did you not have that relationship beforehand? 382 00:22:21,180 --> 00:22:25,120 It was, we were butt and head a lot. You know, there was a lot of conflict 383 00:22:25,120 --> 00:22:26,120 between the two of us. 384 00:22:26,180 --> 00:22:27,180 Both strong personalities. 385 00:22:27,620 --> 00:22:28,680 I'm kind of a jerk sometimes. 386 00:22:30,280 --> 00:22:35,780 I think you probably, it looks like you grew up out there. Yeah, it was a lot of 387 00:22:35,780 --> 00:22:40,260 maturity involved in going on Survivor. I think I grew up pretty much. All 388 00:22:40,260 --> 00:22:44,680 right. Up next, we're going to look at judging a book by its cover. We do this 389 00:22:44,680 --> 00:22:48,560 all the time when we are casting new Survivors, and sometimes even we get 390 00:22:48,560 --> 00:22:49,560 fooled. 391 00:22:52,640 --> 00:22:55,200 Hi, I'm Stephanie Dillon. I'm here to tell you a little bit about myself. 392 00:23:05,610 --> 00:23:07,230 Too bad that woman never showed up. 393 00:23:09,170 --> 00:23:13,070 First, we're going to go to Clay's hometown in Monroe, Louisiana. 394 00:23:13,610 --> 00:23:15,070 They're at a hotel restaurant. 395 00:23:15,270 --> 00:23:18,350 Some of the people showed up. They moved from the ballroom to the holodome. And, 396 00:23:18,370 --> 00:23:21,070 Clay, all I know is I hope you weren't counting on that million to pay for it. 397 00:23:21,230 --> 00:23:22,230 We'll be right back. 398 00:23:56,600 --> 00:24:00,720 unusual aspect of Survivor is that when the game starts, everybody has a blank 399 00:24:00,720 --> 00:24:04,220 slate. All any of these guys know about the others is what they can physically 400 00:24:04,220 --> 00:24:07,360 see in the attitude that they give off, so you start to make assessments and 401 00:24:07,360 --> 00:24:09,380 judgments based on very little information. 402 00:24:09,720 --> 00:24:14,380 We did the same thing this season with Stephanie, who came into us, you know, 403 00:24:14,420 --> 00:24:18,460 you're strong, athletic, you're a firefighter, but what you told us and 404 00:24:18,460 --> 00:24:20,680 believed when you came in the room was that you were going to be a barrel of 405 00:24:20,680 --> 00:24:22,760 fun. See if you remember this audition tape you showed us. 406 00:24:26,250 --> 00:24:28,690 Hi, I'm Stephanie Dillon. I'm here to tell you a little bit about myself. 407 00:24:41,550 --> 00:24:44,750 Now look at you. You've got the drama going on. 408 00:24:45,470 --> 00:24:47,490 You're funny here. Sense of humor. 409 00:24:49,570 --> 00:24:50,570 And then Stephanie. 410 00:24:51,110 --> 00:24:52,670 All right, let's get your ending here. 411 00:24:53,650 --> 00:24:55,690 You don't take me to be on your ex -survivor. 412 00:24:56,270 --> 00:24:57,910 And you can kiss my fish. 413 00:25:07,290 --> 00:25:08,950 Stephanie. Oh, my God. 414 00:25:09,450 --> 00:25:13,830 My question is obvious. Where was this girl when the show was going on? 415 00:25:13,930 --> 00:25:16,990 Obviously, my body didn't handle food, not eating very well. I mean, seriously, 416 00:25:17,070 --> 00:25:20,530 that's the first time I've ever been limited physically in my life. I mean, 417 00:25:20,530 --> 00:25:23,910 kicked my butt because that is me, and I disappointed so many people. 418 00:25:24,320 --> 00:25:27,460 You know, family, friends, the people that chose me for one of those 16 slots. 419 00:25:27,780 --> 00:25:30,920 You know, so it's been really hard for me to deal with it. I could not bring 420 00:25:30,920 --> 00:25:33,820 Stephanie Deal in everyday life to Thailand. 421 00:25:34,040 --> 00:25:35,440 It was very, very hard. 422 00:25:35,660 --> 00:25:37,260 Did you take anything away from that experience? 423 00:25:37,560 --> 00:25:41,080 You know, I really did. First off, I made great friends that, you know, 424 00:25:41,080 --> 00:25:42,520 friendships that will last me a lifetime. 425 00:25:43,060 --> 00:25:44,820 But you personally? 426 00:25:45,140 --> 00:25:48,560 Yeah. I never thought about having kids before. 427 00:25:49,420 --> 00:25:52,660 Those 15 days that I spent. And even more importantly, what I'm getting at is 428 00:25:52,660 --> 00:25:54,960 what you told me earlier, which I thought was interesting, that you'll 429 00:25:54,980 --> 00:25:58,300 ever let yourself down again like that. No, I won't. I'll never let myself down. 430 00:25:58,440 --> 00:26:00,180 And I know now that I want children. 431 00:26:00,760 --> 00:26:03,700 So it was a wonderful experience for me. 432 00:26:04,320 --> 00:26:07,380 There's so much more to the game than money. And I'm a person that never 433 00:26:07,380 --> 00:26:08,380 about money anyway. 434 00:26:08,420 --> 00:26:13,620 Erin, we're talking about overcoming stereotypes in one sense and judging a 435 00:26:13,620 --> 00:26:14,860 by its cover and things like that. 436 00:26:15,180 --> 00:26:16,780 This has to happen to you all the time. 437 00:26:17,180 --> 00:26:20,920 I mean, we've got some tape, in fact, of you from the show. You were the 438 00:26:20,920 --> 00:26:22,700 survivor hot chick this season, for sure. 439 00:26:22,940 --> 00:26:28,100 And did you know going into this game that you were going to have to this kind 440 00:26:28,100 --> 00:26:31,300 of stuff here, that you were going to have to overcome a perception that 441 00:26:31,300 --> 00:26:32,300 would be making? 442 00:26:32,380 --> 00:26:33,640 I figured that I was. 443 00:26:34,760 --> 00:26:38,520 Basically, I had to go in and prove to everyone that I was a hard worker and 444 00:26:38,520 --> 00:26:41,540 that I wasn't just a girl with the big boobs that was going to slide by on 445 00:26:41,900 --> 00:26:42,900 And in fact. 446 00:26:43,000 --> 00:26:47,720 You started covering up early on, didn't you? After day four, I believe, I no 447 00:26:47,720 --> 00:26:51,680 longer wore my bikini top. I only wore my sports bra because I was afraid that 448 00:26:51,680 --> 00:26:54,940 wearing my top was going to work against me in the game. 449 00:26:55,180 --> 00:26:58,820 Proud of how you did? Do you think you broke that stereotype? I think I did 450 00:26:58,820 --> 00:26:59,739 break the stereotype. 451 00:26:59,740 --> 00:27:03,660 I made it a lot further than I think anyone ever expected me to. I worked 452 00:27:03,660 --> 00:27:07,920 hard, and in the end, people look at me as a well -liked player, someone that 453 00:27:07,920 --> 00:27:09,320 worked really hard, not the... 454 00:27:09,740 --> 00:27:10,760 Hot chick with a big boo. 455 00:27:11,300 --> 00:27:12,420 Or maybe both. 456 00:27:13,140 --> 00:27:14,140 Jed. 457 00:27:16,740 --> 00:27:23,080 Jed, I think it's fair to say, even in respect to Ken and Rob and Big Ted and 458 00:27:23,080 --> 00:27:26,700 Brian, you were one of the strongest, if not the strongest out there, very 459 00:27:26,700 --> 00:27:30,880 competitive, and you were playing full tilt boogie, and yet you're an instant 460 00:27:30,880 --> 00:27:34,900 outcast. Just as we're going to this break, tell me what happened out there, 461 00:27:34,900 --> 00:27:36,920 did you learn anything from how the tribe treated you? 462 00:27:37,310 --> 00:27:38,310 I learned a lot. 463 00:27:38,770 --> 00:27:43,930 Basically, it's like in life. When you join a new group, all of a sudden you've 464 00:27:43,930 --> 00:27:46,890 got to fly below the radar or you're a target. 465 00:27:47,150 --> 00:27:51,610 And so what I did is I didn't fly as low as everyone else on my tribe, which was 466 00:27:51,610 --> 00:27:52,610 a pretty low radar. 467 00:27:53,290 --> 00:27:55,390 So sticking out like a sore thumb a little bit. 468 00:27:56,090 --> 00:28:01,430 Yeah, basically I let myself show in competitions and joined up with other 469 00:28:01,430 --> 00:28:04,130 athletic people that weren't flying below the radar. I don't know if you 470 00:28:04,130 --> 00:28:08,090 this, but just as we go to break, Sheehan, how badly did you guys want to 471 00:28:08,090 --> 00:28:11,210 rid of Jed? We wanted to get rid of him so badly that we threw the challenge. 472 00:28:11,490 --> 00:28:12,469 The pyramid challenge. 473 00:28:12,470 --> 00:28:13,470 Yep. Did you know that? 474 00:28:13,930 --> 00:28:18,890 Well, I kind of figured it out when Ken was sitting out, and I wasn't going to 475 00:28:18,890 --> 00:28:19,569 give up, though. 476 00:28:19,570 --> 00:28:20,970 Okay. All right. 477 00:28:21,360 --> 00:28:24,540 Boy, this is moving so fast. We've got to go again. Coming up next, we're going 478 00:28:24,540 --> 00:28:28,560 to show you where Survivor's going next. But first, some of Jan's colleagues are 479 00:28:28,560 --> 00:28:31,320 in Tampa, Florida. Where else would they be? They're at a pub. 480 00:28:31,660 --> 00:28:32,660 Take a look. 481 00:29:21,870 --> 00:29:23,730 and it's a good thing. Yes, yes. 482 00:29:24,570 --> 00:29:28,350 Survivor Thailand is over, but a new survivor adventure is about to begin in 483 00:29:28,350 --> 00:29:32,690 February. 16 new survivors will be abandoned in one of the most mysterious 484 00:29:32,690 --> 00:29:34,610 places on Earth. Take a look. 485 00:29:40,270 --> 00:29:45,950 It is the largest rainforest on Earth. It is responsible for 15 % of the 486 00:29:45,950 --> 00:29:50,930 oxygen. And it is without question one of the most mysterious places on the 487 00:29:50,930 --> 00:29:53,500 planet. It is the Amazon. 488 00:29:57,600 --> 00:30:01,260 Spanning two and a half million square miles, the Amazon is home to more 489 00:30:01,260 --> 00:30:06,100 varieties of fish, plant life, and birds than anywhere else in the world. Some 490 00:30:06,100 --> 00:30:09,260 of the most beautiful and unique animals thrive in this rainforest. 491 00:30:09,620 --> 00:30:12,860 The pink dolphin, the tapir, and the sloth. 492 00:30:13,080 --> 00:30:16,980 Push deeper into this impenetrable jungle and you'll find some of the most 493 00:30:16,980 --> 00:30:18,460 dangerous animals as well. 494 00:30:18,840 --> 00:30:24,330 Caiman crocodiles, piranhas, and the world's most feared snake, the anaconda. 495 00:30:25,990 --> 00:30:30,750 Soon, 16 strangers will be abandoned in this oppressive and harsh environment. 496 00:30:31,450 --> 00:30:35,650 Torrential thunderstorms will rock this jungle, and scorching temperatures will 497 00:30:35,650 --> 00:30:37,450 test our survivors like never before. 498 00:30:37,710 --> 00:30:41,970 And this time, the game will have a twist unlike anything you've ever seen. 499 00:30:42,890 --> 00:30:46,550 How will these 16 strangers survive in this environment? 500 00:30:46,890 --> 00:30:50,310 And the bigger question, how will they survive each other? 501 00:30:50,890 --> 00:30:52,610 It is the ultimate challenge. 502 00:30:53,330 --> 00:30:59,550 Outwit, outplay, outlast, until only one remains and emerges as the sole 503 00:30:59,550 --> 00:31:00,550 survivor. 504 00:31:07,610 --> 00:31:10,070 This is going to be very cool, but that's later. 505 00:31:10,570 --> 00:31:14,090 Guys, we're running out of time tonight, but there's just three things that I 506 00:31:14,090 --> 00:31:16,990 quickly wanted to ask you about, and they'll just be short answers, but 507 00:31:16,990 --> 00:31:18,130 so many good stories. Jake. 508 00:31:18,620 --> 00:31:22,000 The best moments, I think, one of the best moments is the loved one visit. 509 00:31:22,460 --> 00:31:26,820 And when Jenny came out there, and I talked to you about it afterwards, and 510 00:31:26,820 --> 00:31:29,900 told me a great story about how that was the best moment and the worst moment at 511 00:31:29,900 --> 00:31:33,860 the same time. Oh, my gosh. Five to one against me. I'm down. I'm hungry. I'm 512 00:31:33,860 --> 00:31:38,080 tired. She walks out. I'm on the highest of high planes, just totally. 513 00:31:38,300 --> 00:31:39,420 She eats the bugs. 514 00:31:39,680 --> 00:31:45,740 And then she walks off without, you know, and I'm at the lowest of lows in 515 00:31:45,740 --> 00:31:47,560 world. Two days later. 516 00:31:48,030 --> 00:31:49,030 There she is again. 517 00:31:49,210 --> 00:31:53,870 And at that time, I am totally convinced, because she ate all those 518 00:31:54,030 --> 00:31:55,430 that I can whip Ted. 519 00:31:55,690 --> 00:31:58,590 I can do anything, man.

I just melt right into mush, man. 522 00:32:07,650 --> 00:32:11,230 You know, it's about love. That's what it's about. 523 00:32:11,510 --> 00:32:12,510 Thanks for sharing that. 524 00:32:13,050 --> 00:32:15,390 Tanya, hard transition here. 525 00:32:16,080 --> 00:32:19,020 You had a tough first few days out there as part of the show. 526 00:32:19,280 --> 00:32:21,740 You had a much, much tougher end to the show. 527 00:32:22,100 --> 00:32:24,360 Guys, it's 36, 37 days. 528 00:32:24,740 --> 00:32:28,220 Tanya's out of the game, but she's still on the island, and you get some very 529 00:32:28,220 --> 00:32:29,220 sad news. 530 00:32:29,240 --> 00:32:32,080 And I just wanted to check in with you about it. Tell us what happened. 531 00:32:32,740 --> 00:32:36,820 Well, actually, it'll be very emotional to talk about that. I actually got a 532 00:32:36,820 --> 00:32:39,880 call from my mother that my father had died. 533 00:32:43,760 --> 00:32:47,560 And the upside to that story that you told me, and I thought was so 534 00:32:47,760 --> 00:32:52,120 was that you had a goodbye party when you were leaving to come do Survivor. 535 00:32:52,120 --> 00:32:54,340 you guys had some family business that hadn't been resolved. 536 00:32:54,700 --> 00:32:58,020 And tell us what happened when you had the goodbye party before you left. 537 00:32:58,580 --> 00:33:01,420 Well, what had happened, like my parents had gotten divorced when I was a 538 00:33:01,420 --> 00:33:07,700 freshman in high school. So about like 10 years ago, my sister and my dad kind 539 00:33:07,700 --> 00:33:10,860 of had conflict with it and just hadn't spoken in 10 years. 540 00:33:11,200 --> 00:33:14,980 So when I got selected for the show, My sister and them throw me a going -away 541 00:33:14,980 --> 00:33:17,100 party, and I was so shocked that she invited my dad. 542 00:33:17,620 --> 00:33:22,080 So had I not been selected for Survivor, they would have never talked. So it was 543 00:33:22,080 --> 00:33:25,300 like even though I lost, I was a winner, you know, before I even left. 544 00:33:31,100 --> 00:33:33,560 We've got a little bit more to do. We're going to take a break, and we'll be 545 00:33:33,560 --> 00:33:34,560 right back. 546 00:34:07,530 --> 00:34:08,949 We didn't get a lot of time to talk. 547 00:34:09,210 --> 00:34:14,010 Without question, the most capable, strongest, biggest threat person ever 548 00:34:14,010 --> 00:34:14,828 out first. 549 00:34:14,830 --> 00:34:17,830 And I just want to, I know that if you got another shot at this, you'd do a lot 550 00:34:17,830 --> 00:34:18,870 better. You doing okay, though? 551 00:34:19,230 --> 00:34:22,429 Absolutely. You know, I think I just left the wrong impression. I wanted to 552 00:34:22,429 --> 00:34:25,850 leave the impression I'm working hard and I'll do anything to help the tribe. 553 00:34:25,929 --> 00:34:28,650 And I think the impression that I left was I was a little too aggressive and 554 00:34:28,650 --> 00:34:29,650 that was a threat early on. 555 00:34:29,969 --> 00:34:33,190 Well, thanks for being here.
