back. It is a long way from the Australian Outback to our LA Soundstage,
our castaways are tonight surrounded by an audience of family, friends, and
fans. Let's welcome them individually, starting with our two finalists, Tina
Wesson, Colby Donaldson, then the jurors, with whom we are all familiar,
Outback's resident chef, Keith Fahmy, the ever -so -sweet Elizabeth Falarski,
her buddy, Roger Bingham, the youngest castaway, 22 -year -old Amber Berkage,
Harvard Law student Nick Brown, the controversial Jerry Manthe, and the Oso
buff, Felicia Calloway.
And reuniting with their former tribe mates for the first time since their
in the Outback, cheerleader Jeff Varner, burn victim Michael Scoopin, vegetarian
Kimmy Kappenberg, the seven -footer Mitchell Olsen, Maryland Mad Dog
Captain Cal Gleason, and the first to go, Debbie.
Good evening, everybody.
Good evening.
Well, Ms. Wesson, what do you got to say for yourself?
Oh, I just never believed it. Oh, come on. I never believed it.
I never even thought about the voting process, who might be voting for who.
could you go these months without thinking about it even one time?
and I came back to camp that night after Keith was gone, we felt like we had won
because this is what we wanted to do.
Whenever we joined with each other in alliance, this is what we wanted to do.
wanted to make it to the last two.
And that was winning for me.
Yeah, but we're talking about a difference of considerable jack between
and being runner -up. It was not about the money.
If this game had been for
free, I would have done it. If there was no prize at all for free, I would have
gone out and played this game.
Why'd you do it, Colby?
I mean, why'd you do it? You, you know, it was a pretty magnanimous gesture.
Oh, why did I choose? Yeah.
Oh,
well, I know that you're asking something else.
Well,
there are a lot of reasons and I knew, and I've thought about this and tried to
come up with something intelligent to say because I knew I'd be asked this
question.
You know, and, and Tina's right.
And it gets said so many times that I was so driven to win and, you know, I
so focused. And I was. I was very intense with what I wanted to do. But
changes for everyone. And it did change for me. And when Tina and I started
becoming close, and it really started when we voted Mitchell off instead of
Keith, that's when we decided to play our game. And we did. We took the thing
end to the end.
And that night was a victory for us when we got to go back together.
And, you know, the thing is, even though when I chose Tina to go with me
into the end, thus making it much more competitive on the final vote, I've been
able to sleep every night since then. I haven't lost one night of sleep worrying
about... whether or not I would win because she deserved it. And that's the
beauty of this game.
It doesn't matter how many challenges I won or how many beans and stew I ate all
the time. It doesn't matter because it comes down to the game itself.
And there's a whole lot. There's so many factors involved and people can
understand that. I don't expect them to. Keith, how shocked were you when he
said bye to you instead of to Tina?
You know, the last five days of the game were fairly enlightening for me just
from a life standpoint. And I really felt that.
You know, this game really wasn't about money. I gained a lot more out of it. I
told my two very special people in my life, Josh and Alicia, my kids, and, of
course, the catcher, my fiancé now, that I was going to do the best I could do.
Do the best I could do. And that's all I planned on doing, the best I could do.
I told my mom that.
Do the best I could do with the game. But here's the guy sitting next to you
basically gave up $900 ,000 because he didn't want you to have it.
Well, you know, Paul, call me a fool then.
No, you know what?
I think that, and I agree with Colby, too. You know, I'll be honest with you.
I would have probably picked Tina to be in it with the end with me, if I had won
that immunity challenge, I would have probably voted Colby out, knowing that
Tina realistically would have beaten me. I think Tina, the game changes
dramatically. When we had that flood, the time that flood hit, the game was
This was now about survival, living conditions, who you can cohabitate with,
just being able to build relationships.
For me, Tina just really deserved it. But you weren't uncomfortable. I mean,
were listening to some of the things they were talking about. They said he
didn't earn the right. We dragged him along.
He didn't deserve the spot. We put up with it. We used him. I mean, come on.
Trust me.
Colby can play the game mentally better than anybody.
That stuff hurts.
But I think that in the scope of the game.
In the scope of the game. When it comes down to the last three, when a decision
like that is made, it's huge.
And you've got to really have some very valuable, good decisions.
Tina got four votes.
Jerry, Keith, we can assume.
Who are the other two?
Alicia and Elizabeth?
Is that right?
Why Tina?
Because I think Tina just put it all together. Everybody said...
what was exactly the truth, that she had a strategy coming into this. She played
it until the very, very end.
And she didn't win any challenges. Not one. You hold it against Colby that he
did? Not at all. But she had to be doing something right to make it that far and
be in the final two. And that's strategy.
And it wasn't about winning challenges. It was about strategizing. And that's
what this is all about.
And I think she deserved it. I said when I voted, this was the most difficult
vote that I had to make because The two people sitting there, I had just
developed such a respect and love for in the outback as people.
And I knew Colby's potential is outstanding.
And I also knew that Tina had
decided prior to all the voting that what she was going to do with the money,
I just really took heart to. I really did. And as we all know, I'm an
person. Yes, you are.
Guess how I voted.
By my heart. We're looking at the Colby voting block right behind you there with
Roger, Amber, and Nick. Why Colby, guys?
Well, at least for me, I mean, if you make it to the final two, it's not easy
say who deserved it more and who played the game better. I mean, they did it
differently to get to the final two.
But for me, I just voted for the person who I thought.
outside of the context of the game, who really tried to get to know me.
At that point in the game, Colby and I had conversated about a number of
and I just felt we were related.
It didn't help that he said you'd have been the one sitting there if he wasn't.
Well, I mean, the question played a part in it, but it seemed to have been quite
an answer.
Amber, Roger, what about it? Why Colby?
It was a hard decision with Elizabeth. I was going back and forth the whole
entire day, and up until the last minute before, even after I asked my question,
They both gave great answers. You know, the Harley and then the charity, you
know.
Audrey, what about you?
I'm sorry.
Go ahead.
I just, I don't know, I just went with my gut and I thought Colby had, I mean,
he had played so awesome and won all those challenges. I mean, he won every
single immunity besides two, I think. And I just think that's incredible.
For me, it was a very, very hard vote.
And even after I voted for Kobe, which has been several weeks now, I think, oh,
I should have voted for Teenan, and I think, no, I was right. And I switched
back and forth, and I was glad to see it come down to a 4 -3 vote tonight
because that says a lot about both of those individuals sitting there tonight.
Kobe, is there something wrong with a game? I know Mark Burnett sitting out
is upset at me for asking this, but is there something wrong with a game that
you dominate so thoroughly and don't win?
No, absolutely not. He's 30 years younger than me. That's why. Me too.
worry about it.
You and I are the same age. Let's not do it. And a lot of it, I mean, I was very
fortunate. I mean, let's put things into perspective.
If Mike's accident hadn't happened, I wouldn't be sitting in the top two.
for sure.
You know, there are a lot of very fortunate instances.
And there's one final thing that we should share for the first time tonight
nobody knows, which is two weeks before this got started, you weren't going.
That's right.
You weren't on this, were you? No, sir, I was not. I was not picked for the
original show.
You were in reserve.
I was an alternate.
And I was so disappointed, I've got to tell you.
And my husband kept saying, honey, they're going to call you back.
And I'm like, they're not going to call me back, honey. They already made their
decision. Three days that went on.
And they called me back on Monday.
How good is that?
How good is that?
Hey, sit tight. We're going to come back in just a moment because as all our
castaways can readily attest, their time in Australia truly was about survival
of the most basic sort. When we come back, we'll talk about the hunger and
hardships they all endured in the outback. We're back after this.
One of the most important survival tips that I can give you is that you must be
agile enough to get up in the tree canopies, just like the koala bears, to
that precious fruit.
It
worked.
There you go. It worked. I got you on board.
But you said they were cheesy.
You may remember. You're right.
You're right. I did. But you know what? The other little secret we should tell
is this guy was supposed to be part of the first one and didn't quite make it,
and so they put him on the second one. You were supposed to go ahead to Edward
Richard, weren't you? I was.
And actually, I'm glad that I had an opportunity to do the Australian
The bond I've made with these individuals has been lifelong.
It's memorable, and it'll be forever. It's great.
We're going to talk friends and enemies in our next segment. I want to try to
talk, if I could, hunger and hardships.
for a little while because it was tough out there, at least it appeared to us as
we were watching it. Nobody suffered a greater hardship, perhaps, than the
gentleman in the back row. Michael, first of all, show us your hand.
Not bad.
Not bad.
I think any of us who saw this will not soon forget it.
But you said in a funny kind of way it was something good that happened to you.
How come?
You know, Your motivations for going on the show are so much different at the
beginning. And like people have been talking about, you know, what happens
it transcends money or prizes or anything. And the
spiritual growth and the family growth, I mean, my kids and my wife and my mom
and just everybody, it's the greatest experience. And what happened to me
was...
A million bucks couldn't buy it.
I believe it was Colby who said that the environment and the element
were the dominant factors in this competition.
Would any of you quibble with that?
No. Not at all. Not at all.
Was the tube able to translate how tough it was out there, Jeff?
No.
Well, I can't speak for how it was after I left.
And it seemed to get a lot harder after I left. I mean, for us, we were
fortunate at Kucha to be kicking Ogakor's butt.
So we had lots of food.
Can we explain what the names for the tribes were when you were out there?
Kucha is kangaroo and Ogakor. No, no, no, no, no. What did you call them?
Oh, you mean in the dressing room?
Yeah. Ogaboring.
Hey, Jeff, the game's over, man. The game's over, Jeff.
Still drawing the line.
How bad was the hunger, Nick?
You know, I never ever felt hungry after day one.
But you're just weak.
You get up to do anything and you're weak and you get dizzy. And the day I
kicked off, I stood up and just got dizzy and couldn't do anything. And that
never really translates on the television.
They weren't as hungry as we were. We weren't as hungry as we were. They never
experienced hunger the way that Ogakor had to.
And they didn't experience it, for the people that stayed until the end, until
after I left, at that point when there was a cup of rice left.
And I watched Elizabeth start going through the same things that we had gone
through at the beginning of the game. I watched Nick experience it.
I thought it was kind of funny.
Sweet justice.
Cruella de Vil had nothing on you, darling.
Yes, Mad Dog.
Brian, after a couple days, my stomach was shrinking.
I was losing weight, feeling good. If only I could have stayed
there for a couple more weeks, I'd be wearing a thong.
Mitchell, Mitchell, correct me if I'm wrong, but you were among a few people
here who kind of thought that when the cameras were off, the crew would feed
you, right? Right.
I mean, you really thought they'd flip you an apple or a banana? At least that,
right? Especially for me. Look at me. I'm seven feet tall. I weigh like a buck
ten.
So I think it definitely hit me faster than it hit anybody else. And I know
that was probably the reason of my exit.
Roger, was that the worst part of it?
Oh, yes, sir. We went one stretch out there for about 34 hours without
to eat. And then when we did eat, it was like a third of a cup of rice. And I
remember Thanksgiving Day, Nick had been keeping a calendar, and all we had to
eat Thanksgiving Day was some macadamia nuts. So that'll be a Thanksgiving I'll
never forget.
Boredom was a part of it.
Lack of companionship, shall we say, was another part of it. Kimmy, I had heard
a rumor.
I had heard a rumor, you can confirm or deny, that you were going to do a
birthday suit bash.
Yes, I thought I would. I said I was going to, in survivor tradition, you
go out and go in my birthday suit on my birthday, and you guys voted me out four
days too soon. Thanks a lot.
That was strategy, Kim.
We didn't want to. We saw it anyway, Brian. Oh, I'm sorry? We saw it anyway.
TMI, Jeff.
You know, you're the one who had asked ahead of time, I heard, if somebody has
sex out there, are you going to tape it? How did you hear this? I asked around.
Nobody did. Nobody even tried. How come?
Well, I mean, I don't, you know, everybody says who had sex with whom,
the romance? But to me, I mean, for the life of me, I cannot imagine.
Anybody in that environment being romantically attracted to anybody. Why?
not eating. Why? The rest of us are looking at this and saying, this is the
Baywatch bunch.
Well, you'll be out there with people that are not bathing, are not brushing
their teeth, are getting on your nerves, sleeping in dirt. There's nothing sexy
about that. It didn't bother me. No tic -tac -toes, wearing toilet paper.
You've been wearing the same thing for years.
Is that why, Nick, you said all these women look so nasty?
I mean, after 24 hours, I mean, we have some cute women in this game, and I'm
like, and after 24 hours, they're nasty.
I mean,
I was nasty, too. I mean, three pairs of underwear.
Three pairs of underwear. You're all nasty.
Go ahead, Mad Dog.
As you know, I am a retired cop.
So from day one, I designated myself as the prophylactic police.
There were 12 condoms in that first aid kit when I got there. And by God, there
were 12 when I left.
But I mean, the rest of us are sitting at home and we're watching these lovely
young ladies, which reminds me.
Which reminds me, Amber, Elizabeth, having watched the first one and seeing
the attention that Colleen and Jenna got for those bikinis, what was the deal
with those bathing suits?
Strategy. What are you talking about?
That's my line. Strategy or modesty? No, I was just thinking, you know.
The phone, yeah.
I'm going to do challenges in these bathing suits and swimming in these
suits. I didn't want my top falling down anywhere. And also, you know, you had
to go with the shorts.
She had the same idea. You needed the shorts.
You feel a little more comfortable. And I thought bright in case something
drastic would happen. Someone could definitely find me in the pink.
All right. We'll let it go at that. Hey, look, as I promised, we'll talk friends
and enemies when we come back in just a little bit. But before we do.
Colby, special treat for you. Some folks in your hometown of Dallas are
celebrating with a huge party tonight. Here's a live look at how some of the
Lone Star State are saluting their star survivor. We're back after this.
You can survive seven weeks in a dumpster.
You can do seven weeks in the app pack standing on your head.
You
know,
we know the answer to who was that mystery woman, but let's take a look at
monitors. Who is this mystery woman?
to fight and wait now, aren't you?
Yes, I am, Brian.
Hey, look, Keith alluded to it earlier. There's some relationships here that
have been formed that are going to last for a long time.
A lot of you wanted to be a part of this reunion, but Deb, you had some
hesitations, didn't you?
You weren't sure you wanted to be a part of this reunion.
How come?
I knew I didn't want to be a part of it.
How come?
Well, I guess nobody really got a chance to know me.
And then I got home, and the press pretty much tore me apart.
It hasn't been fun.
Would you do it again?
No way.
Bad trade? Three days in the outback for your life being exposed? Bad trade. Bad
trade.
You can't look back. I mean, it's a done deal. You just got to move forward.
It's just, I guess the hard part is I'm strong, a very strong, independent
person, care about people a lot, and seem to have lost
my belief in myself.
You know, but I will get it back.
You already got it back.
Deb.
Captain Kell, what about you?
I saw where you said you will never, accent on the never, forgive Jerry for
she did. Why not?
Isn't life a little too short?
For that?
I have forgiven Jerry.
I have.
But I don't like her.
She'll never get a Christmas card from me.
I guess it's your turn, Jerry.
Well, I mean, I don't ever expect in my life to have everyone like me, but...
There's a good bet.
We're going to have breakfast again. Yeah, I know.
I know.
No, I really don't. And, you know, the things that happen out there are so
separate from our lives now. And I think for some people, maybe it's easier
to tell the difference.
And, you know, I feel bad, Kel, I do, that you harbor
resentment and hatred towards me.
But, you know, Jerry, this is the first time you've ever spoken to me.
This is the first time. That's what today's for, for me. I hope that that's
of what's been for everyone the same way.
I've been talking to a lot of people. Like I've said, I've forgiven you.
You're just not going to get a Christmas card from me.
Let's move on. Alicia, you sent a Christmas card to Kimmy?
Come on now. We had the head bob and the finger pointing.
You sent a Christmas card? I'm famous for that finger wave.
There's a couple of people who saw it.
We'll refresh everyone's memory. Roll the tape out.
In this corner...
Wait a second now. She called you.
Why didn't you call her back?
Because out of everything that's happened to me in this game, on this
all of these people, that's the one really negative thing.
And at that time and what I was doing at that point, I was not ready to confront
that. I didn't want to confront the negative thing. I was having too much
with all the positive things.
And now? So I didn't call her back.
It's all good.
Kimmy and I, like Kel said, she's not going to get a Christmas card. We're
going to be, like, best buddies. I mean, we wouldn't have got along no matter
where we were. But you know what?
These 16 people are so incredibly amazing. And for me to not hold close
to my heart everything that I've been through, including, got to love you,
Kimmy, getting that whole episode with Kimmy, I mean, I can't walk away with
this harboring ill feelings toward anybody or anything. We like that.
Amber, you said that you were good at hiding the fact that you got annoyed
easily. Why'd you hide it?
Because I didn't want to make it obvious to anybody because then they might hold
a grudge against me and vote me out earlier.
Why would you want to show somebody that you're annoyed with them? You want them
to think that you like them.
Jerry would say that's just being honest.
And for me, that's what I found to be the way to keep my sanity in that
situation was to express it and get it out.
And I guess I just, I expected it as well for other people to do the same to
If somebody was irritated with me, I would have been perfectly fine with them
bringing it up in my face, getting it out on the table. Jerry, you saw what
happened, didn't you?
We tried that.
Roger went the opposite route. Roger, I believe I read that you said you went in
there attempting to not be mean, but be straightforward and couldn't bring
yourself to do it.
Well, I think I was pretty straightforward. I went in there with
of trying to play the game, and that's the reason I've got a lot of respect for
these two people that were in the finals here tonight.
They were able to do something that I wasn't able to do, and that is actually
play the game. And I don't know that that's really such a bad thing in the
run, and I was satisfied with the place that I finished.
When I got off the plane, first thing I told my wife, I said I didn't do
anything out there that I was ashamed of.
That's nice to hear.
And, Keith, I can't let... All right, we'll take a break.
When we come back, we're going to consider how the Outback changed
the life lessons learned. But first, we'll take a look at what's happening
tonight in Miami.
And in college, I even got on a bull or two.
Way to
go,
cowboy.
That wasn't your first rodeo, I take it? No.
Yes, sir.
Look, I've been asking a lot of questions, but some of the good folks
sitting out here have some. And so we'll ask this gentleman to voice our first
question from the audience. Yes, sir.
This is for Roger. How did you get the nerve to jump off that cliff into that
water?
Good move. Well, I definitely was not going to let my other tribe members
And for me personally, that was probably the hardest thing that I've ever had to
do in my lifetime.
The other thing was you didn't see, but we actually pushed it.
Yes, we have another question over here. Yes, ma 'am. Yeah, my question is for
Elizabeth as a fellow Rhode Islander.
There's some pretty scary and amazing wildlife out there. What was your most
memorable or maybe scariest encounter?
Oh, gosh.
I guess my most scary encounter every day kind of happened at night when you'd
have to use the latrine.
I'm not going to play tough. I was scared to death. Because you know what
It's your imagination out there that gets you. Because you know they are. You
see them during the day. You see a snake. You see a croc. You see
there. And when it's your time to be alone with the dark, that's when I got
scared. Because every noise, you're like, you think the worst.
I guess that would be it in my most honest moment.
Brian, I would escort her to the bathroom every night. I would, like,
would go with us, and I'd pinch him on the leg at the bottom, and I'd scare
them. He was the worst.
The worst. Did you hear that?
And, Brian, my most scariest encounter has got to be Jerry.
You know, I'm not going to belabor the hygiene thing, but can I get a count?
many toothbrushes were out there?
One. One after two weeks.
They had no bristles after two weeks. Oh, really?
We snacked on the bristles. So what did we do? Brush our teeth with sand or just
don't...
You kind of get your shirt. Yeah, you wipe off. A black wipe.
Nice. A daily black wipe. Nice.
The nice pine trees. That's why people are nice. And it gets light, so it cuts
pine. Although, wait a minute. This is why I was known. This is why I was
Let's get back to the nasty thing for a second. Nick wants to say Elizabeth and
I were so nasty, but Nick kissed me right on the lips. Yes, he did. Hello,
you know?
It's a long story to that, but yeah.
Right on the lips. Can you say it in less than 30 seconds?
Right after the first time we brushed our teeth.
At least she was like, I'm so clean, I'm so fresh, who wants to kiss me? I said,
and labeled on it.
Hello.
Jerry, why didn't you try that?
We didn't have a toothbrush.
We were doing the plaque wipe. I would have kissed him anyway.
That's why I was trying.
We thought something was wrong with you. You said there was no distractions out
there. How could you say there's no distractions to see ladies sitting here?
No, it was distractions. Okay.
Early on more so than later in the game.
Oh. No, I mean, just because I finally determined it was time to get focused.
Got you.
I'm not going to pursue it. Yes,
ma 'am.
First of all, on behalf of Reebok, congratulations, Tina.
My question is for Michael. Michael, when you hunted and killed the boar, why
did you put the blood around your eye?
Why? I was wondering that. Tell us all. We want to know why you did that. It is
on the actual tape, but when I said it, everyone forgot about it once I did
that. But I didn't want to tell the other tribe that even catching the boar
possible. They kept saying, we've got to tell the other tribe, we've got to get
the advantage.
And I kept saying no, but I got outvoted six to one.
So I said, fine, if we're going to tell them, this is how we should go to the
next challenge. And I put the blood on my face as kind of a joke, saying
of wearing the war paint that we sometimes wore, we would go to the next
challenge wearing the pig blood, and that would be the way we'd tell them. It
was just meant to be a joke for Jimmy.
He's a little nutty.
Deb has already said she wouldn't do it again.
Mitchell, what about you?
I mean, weren't you overmatched? Is that fair to say?
I wouldn't do that. I can put myself back in those shoes, and I can realize
much I suffered. I could never go through it again. Honestly, for me,
I kept thinking, when? When am I going to be leaving, you know? And as I made
that final walk to Tribal Council, I had no idea I was leaving, and it was a
huge shock to me, but a welcome one at that point.
I'd also like to say that afterwards, I was able to travel with Deb.
And I really got to know the Deb that nobody else did and found that she's a
wonderful and amazing woman.
Definitely.
As Mad Dog has so often reminded us, this was a G -A -M -E after
all.
But as some of you have noted, it's pretty life -changing, too.
Keep you...
I've already gone through the change of life.
Forgive us if we don't pursue that, all right?
Keith, you talked about it being a cleansing experience.
Cleanse of what? How so?
Well, first I have to say that Jerry and I are in counseling.
We're working out those issues.
You know, I'm now 41 years old, and I'm divorced.
have two wonderful children and i've had failures and i've had you know
successes and stuff and the last few days for me really enabled me to just
reflect i mean how many times in your life do you really have an opportunity
sit and do nothing but think with no sound no one to talk to you or nothing
those last few days is very a lot of solitude especially me i went up top
big hill and just hung out up there and watched the eagles fly it was a big deal
for me it gave me an opportunity
Say I'm sorry for a lot of things to myself and say let's do some things
So for me the game kind of stopped at that point. I was on to a whole new game
all about life
We're
gonna take a break right here and come back and do some more business We'll
let you in on the secret of the next survivor when the reunion continues But
also a quick hand for our live band over here David Hudson
Dinner, Peter.
Good jumping, baby.
Hey,
look, the mud is barely dry on the shoes of these castaways. In fact, I'm not
sure the sweat is. But plans are already underway for the next survivor
challenge coming this fall.
And if you thought snakes and crocs were intimidating, wait to see what's
waiting for the next 16 survivors deep in the heart of Africa.
Jeff Probst has a preview.
It is the cradle of civilization, the birthplace of humanity.
This is Africa.
And soon, 16 strangers will embark on the greatest adventure of their lives.
They will voluntarily be stranded in this land of stunning beauty, incredible
vistas, and breathtaking scenery.
But don't be fooled. It is also a land of inherent dangers, filled with exotic
and deadly animals.
But it is not impossible to thrive out here. The Maasai have survived for
centuries by simply learning to adapt to their environment. By becoming one with
the land, they have learned to live in one of the most hostile settings on
Earth.
How will these 16 new survivors fare in this dangerous wilderness? And more
importantly, how will they survive each other?
The continent may have changed, but the game is still the same.
Out wit, out play, out laugh.
until only one remains and emerges as the sole survivor.
That African adventure begins this fall, and your advice to those people going
to Africa, Colby, would be?
Expect the absolute worst.
Honestly, yeah.
You're going to be really shocked if you don't.
Good advice.
Let me ask a question. We've now gone about 53 minutes into this program, and
haven't made any comparisons between your group and the prior group,
intentionally. But one thing did strike me. The first group had a series of
philosophical discussions about religion, about children out of wedlock,
sexual orientation, about family, a variety of subjects.
Your group never did.
At least we never saw it. We didn't see it.
No,
I can honestly say as well, we had discussions, but they weren't for the
having them either. Like when we had them, they just happened.
And if they were caught, they were caught. And if they weren't, they
Spirited discussions?
Yeah. Kuta had a two -hour spirited discussion on farting my first night.
We did. I don't think we can say that. I think we have to say bilabial
fricatives in television. That sounds disgusting.
Thank you. Yeah, that sounds worse.
Hey, Brian, you focused a lot on a lot of the negative and fighting
relationships that went on, but some of the relationships that were formed as a
result of the show, I mean, I never knew Keith Fahmy from Detroit, and I never
even met him out in the Outback, and I never met Tina out there, nor those are
two of the best friends that I have from the show. It's just the bond that we
created as part of the show. I mean, there's a couple isolated fights that
on, but I knew everybody. And we know Roger and Elizabeth.
Everybody. Look at these.
Jeff and Alicia.
Virtually inseparable.
Challengeri. And Tina, you were going to tell me, you told me during the
commercial, you had a quick story to tell about Mr. Werner back here. Yes, I
I started out really thinking he was a player. You know, he was this sweet guy
who brought this coloring book to give to charity. And he was this really
compassionate guy.
I later found out the night that we voted him off at tribal council, he
suspected he was going to go.
Well, we had caught 13 fish that day. We were all going to get a fish of our
very own.
We had the fish. We did not get a chance to cook them, so we put them on a
stringer in the water. We came back that night starving, going to eat our fish.
They were gone. And we said, the crocs or the alligators have eaten our fish.
Jeff, we love you.
You dog, you.
Hey, look, as we head to commercial break, what did you do on your vacation?
Show us, Mad Dog.
Show us what you learned.
Get it.
Break it on down, Mom.
We're going to take a break right here, but as we head to commercial, Elizabeth,
here's something you'll want to see.
Take a look at what's happening tonight in your hometown of Boston, where a big
survivor party is underway celebrating the achievement of one of Boston's own.
Basically, for quite some time now,
think about in the car is being a survivor and there are a couple of
I think decisions can be made on.
Not potholes.
We've only got about 30 seconds left.
Tina, you had the first word. You get the last one.
Just answer us one thing.
We saw the sweet motherly Tina out there, and we saw the one who was
by someone in this crowd as ruthless.
Which is the real Tina?
In the middle.
Little of both.
Got to have a good balance in life.
And that's what got you the million?
A lot of luck.
A lot of luck got a million.
Congratulations. Thank you so much.
Tonight was the first time in a long time that these 16 survivors have all
together, but it won't be the last. They'll be joining me tomorrow on The
Show, where, among other things, we'll present Tina with her million -dollar
check for becoming the one survivor who managed to outwit, outplay, and outlast
in the Outback.
Exactly why the actions of all these people have captivated so many remains a
point of debate, a mystery perhaps better left to psychologists.
We only know they've played a game amid the worst of elements with millions
watching and millions judging their character.
that they've emerged with as much dignity as they have is no small feat.
On behalf of these 16 now familiar people, thank you very much for being a
of this reunion.
In every way, the tribe is spoken.
I'm Brian Thumbel. Good night.
