What is the situation?" I would've voted for Cassidy. What is something that happened out there we never got to see that you wish had made it on air? So I went ahead and told her, and, you know, that ended up backfiring. You could imagine a scenario where I'm the weird, ostracized person for being queer, and that's not what it was at all. Some of the key figures in front of and behind the camera explained how it happened. So that's the one thing I would've done a little different is just push a little harder on her. That's logical. Yeah, right before we went to Tribal, I was like, "Erika, are you voting with me?" Yeah, he was coming at Daniel saying, "Hey Daniel, look, you told me about Jenny, you told me that Jenny said that I threw your name out there like you guys are working together or something. But my biggest thing was I had seen how Sydney used it at the merge vote, and she inadvertently shot herself in the foot. So why not try to make the play there to take out Ricard? exit And I remember going and saying in an interview, "Well, as a medium boy, I don't know if this is the best plan for me at all.". And we kind of got to see both sides there. So, Hai and I talked [before Tribal Council] about who to vote for. I just think about some funny confessionals. These are really great people, and the fact that we can just recognize the humanity in each other while playing this game, that's everything. I just couldn't believe that she would risk her vote like that. The Godfather analogy really came to my head when he told me I was protected at the ball-on-the-pole challenge. And she told us if she risked it, she would've lost votes for two Tribal Councils. It sucks, and watching it back sucks. I know that it shows Hai and Lydia pitted against me and Mike, but we were all having fun out there as opposed to some other tribes who didn't look like they were having that much fun. Initially, I think something that didn't really help my game was I did keep it a secret when I got back to camp. What do you mean? Mike is just my kind of people, and I knew right away.

Evvie Jagoda wanted to ride an all-women's alliance all the way to the end of Survivor 41, but in the end it was her inability to keep her former Yase tribemates together that ultimately did her in. Then she asked if I'd give her my extra vote, and I ended up doing it. So it was definitely always floating around. I agree that it was sloppy, and the problem was, I was making mistakes, and then I would try to correct those mistakes and make another mistake. Is there anything else we didn't see that you wish had made it on air? And so I would've pushed that relationship a lot harder. I know Karla was hobbled, but like I said, she is a fighter. Shan called you out for showboating with the "Money!" What was it like for you hearing about that all-Black alliance forming on day one and going all the way to the end when you all who competed before Big Brother started could not quite get that done? Jeff Probst and the cast of 'Survivor 43'. So are you normally kicking sand and throwing bags and poles down and stuff like that in your regular life? Chanelle was hanging on for dear life on the pole. And a similar moment: Right before the merge vote, I was freaking out.

I definitely got along with everyone. And while he said earlier in the finale that "I didn't come back from those early votes just to be a zero-vote finalist," that is exactly what he became, losing to Gabler (and Cassidy) by a 7-1-0 count.

I actually liked kind of having the Fabio edit, because I can't be mad at that. That's emotional." I even asked Shan, 'cause I know she has a real idol, to check and see if the idol that's on Xander is real, and she does and she's like, "It's real.". Daniel started off by immediately saying that he wasn't going to go to rocks. Really? To what degree, I did not really know until my final Tribal Council. And so I did want to go to the end with her. And a lot of people were confused as to why Liana would think Xander really did have the idol when he was being so flashy, but a lot of that was I think she thought she and I were so close that I would never think she would do this big betrayal of me, you know?
