But between all of that, he was the Big Kahuna around camp, seemingly running the show.

Things overall seemed to be great!

How and why did it all go wrong?

But that was excessive, it was scary, and it happened very quickly.

I started feeling a little drawn the day before a little tired.

But I didnt pay any attention to it.

We were very hungry at the time so I assumed that was it.

And then it went from there to the next day where it spiraled, and it spiraled very quickly.

On watching the medical intervention play back on TV:

The hard part was with my family.

We come from different ends of the world.

Hes a very subdued guy and Im a real loud guy.

On if he got too comfortable:

Oh, yes, by far.

And I swore I wouldnt.

Make no mistake: I lost the game myself.

No one is to blame for getting voted out more than I am.

Thats what was going through my head.

It was only me, Bret, and Chris.

We didnt have David.

We didnt have Ken.

When you get blindsided like that, its really kind of surreal.

I was 150 percent comfortable.

I brought all my stuff with me, but I thought for sure I was safe.

We had already strategized to do it exactly the way the Millennials did it.

There was no question.

We strategized and said, Whoever cant do it, drop the bag, and go.

I went three-quarters of the way across the beam, I dropped the bag, and went.

We all had a plan.

Actually, Chris came up with the plan.

It just wasnt executed like that.
