Just check out the video above to see for yourself.

I know what Im doing.
Im not emotional like last time.
This is my time.
I feel like a million dollars.
Im walking around Ponderosa in pre-game like Im on a cloud, like nothing matters.
I sit and color all day, Ill write letters, Ill read.
I can be looking down at the table writing something and am completely aware of everything around me.
My instincts have kicked in.
I just feel great.
This is night and day.
Cambodia, I was a wreck.
Fiji, I am ready.
You studied everyones body language before theSecond Chanceseason last year.
What are you seeing this time?This cast is very different.
Like Day 1, Tony, for example, was very withdrawn.
He kept to himself.
The second day, Tony was very anxious.
Hes walking around like he cant sit still.
is a little anxious too.
And I dont know what hes doing.
So Im watching crazy stuff.
I can tell, Tonys crazy.
Debbie and Brad are whispering.
Tony, Debbie, Brad can you imagine that alliance?
Thats how I viewing this, this time around.
How is the crotch framing from this cast?I have not seen any crotch-framing.
Although Ive seen a few crotches.
People need to sit with their legs closed especially some of these women.
Ive seen a little more than I care to see, honestly.
I really like Malcolm.
Malcolms a good guy.
Hes an honest person.
Hes a savvy player.
Hes strategic but hes loyal.
She knows what shes doing.
I feel like Aubry and I are kindred souls in a way.
And Im scared to death of that.
I didnt know why I love her so much.
I would love to cause some trouble with Sandra.
I would love to be Sandras devils right hand.
But Im probably going to end up getting rid of her quick because shes terrifying.
I forgot what you asked me.
Ive never made the jury, so why worry about me?
How much alliance-building did you do before you came out here?Zero.
Come on, Varner!No!
In Cambodia, I was set up with an alliance and a group of people I felt comfortable with.
And I showed up on a beach with all of them.
I was screwed right from the beginning.
And the people I ended up voting with were the people that I was not aligned with.
I screwed over my alliance in the beginning.
And I never could shake that, so here my goal is to show up a free agent.
Im trying to be friendly and accommodating and nice to everybody.
And then when I land, go where I need to go.
I feel nervous because I know theyre all aligned and I know theyre all buddy-buddy, and Im not.
Im just hoping it just works in my favor.
Im hoping that my choice to not will be a positive lesson.
