I don't think even Cochran played an excellent -- like a perfect game by any way. If I would've been towards the end more with maybe a Sherri next to me, I would've had a good shot against Sherri.

Dawn and Cochran and then whoever else they decided to or planned to use for votes, they just started taking out strategic threats. And so, what ended up kind of happening was the people at the end were strategic enough that they knew the timing to take out people, but they weren't exceptionally strategic.

Well, the way that it appeared, it was shaped more like a mental issue. I mean, you saw me climbing the coconut tree, screaming for food. And then you saw me breaking down, talking about how this is like a prison and all this other kind of stuff. When I was on the jury, I was a lot -- I had a pretty good medication going on.

It was like maybe a 12-hour period where I was in bad shape, and then after that, I was more or less completely back to normal -- at least mentally. My leg still hurt for a little bit, but I mean, after you get some crazy antibiotics going, it started to get a lot better.

(on his game) So a lot of that was just managing information, so there was all this information flying around all the way up until we go to the vote, and I don't want to know that information. I want to know up-to-date information. ... And that's where you have Andrea pointing at the flag and that's where you have Malcolm coming to me at the last minute ... It actually gave me some control ... I was trying to simplify all this information that was coming in into something I could use. ... And then at that point, I could make my decision, like, "Hmm, who do you think will vote which way?" And I would actually have a lot of time to think about it prior to going to Tribal Council, which way I would like to vote.

And then seeing her at Tribal Council, people didn't want to talk to Sherri. People would go up to ask Sherri a question and they'd say, "You know what Sherri? Ugh, I got nothing." And then they'd go and sit back down on the jury bench. And they'd do that just to show that they didn't want to talk to Sherri. So I actually just wanted to talk to Sherri and say, "Do you know why people aren't talking to you?"

I said, "You know what Sherri? I can't go sit down. I have to actually ask Cochran a question and then I'll probably sit down." So I didn't actually sit down after Sherri told me to sit down and I wouldn't have anyway, because that's just stupid that she would do that -- especially at a Final Tribal speech.

I didn't want a hidden Immunity Idol at all because I thought it would put a target on me. I felt like if I was playing with people who were returning players, and everybody knows you have a hidden Idol, you might as well play it that night because if everybody knows you have it, it's going to put a target on your back anyway. It was kind of worthless in my eyes to have it. ... So I was fine with giving it to her and then it actually worked out pretty well in that she was voted off with it in her hand.

I thought I had a very strong bond actually with Dawn and Brenda just from being friends out there. I know Brenda wasn't playing much of a strategic game as she did before, and she had said, "I'm just out here to have fun and meet some fun people and try to do it."

I had no trust for Malcolm. I mean, he's a cool guy. I love Malcolm, but I did not trust him out there because he didn't come off as genuine to me.
