The good news: Julie Rosenberg made it all the way to the end ofSurvivor: Edge of Extinction.
To be able to have that whole experience and be there the entire 39 days was unbelievable for me.
I made it to the end, and Im happy with it.

Lets get into some of the things we just saw on the finale.
Lets say he had put you against Rick in fire.
Im not saying that I couldve done it the fastest.
I hadnt seen how Rick was making fire, but I was confident.
I think I couldve done it.
When Chris first gave me the necklace, Im happy.
And looking back, theres so many things I couldve done differently.
I was just surviving.
Thats what this is, itsSurvivor.
I survived out there, and maybe if you ever see me again, youll see Julie 2.0.
Do you think the jury held that stuff against you?I do.
I do now, I didnt feel like it at the time.
I was in pure starvation mode at that point.
I think I was the one that had gone the longest without food since the merge.
And so mission accomplished.
It actually happened, and I felt like I was the catalyst and the trigger for it.
Whatd you make of that whole speech?I mean, you know, its hard.
I truly did want to form a connection with him, and some alliance with him at the merge.
I knew he had kids.
I just didnt think it was gonna happen as soon as it did.
I really did want to work with Rick.
So, in the end, I think he understood.
Were really good friends now, theres no hard feelings.
I mean, who knows.
I was naked at the time.
Do you know what thats like?
Im gonna leave it at that.
