He didnt need the million dollars.

And he wore a goofy t-shirt.

So how did Mike White make it all the way to the end ofSurvivor: David vs. Goliath?

I Am Goliath Strong

Mike White on ‘Survivor: David vs. Goliath’.Robert Voets/CBS

ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY:So.

Nick gets seven votes, you get three.

How does that final vote sit with you?MIKE WHITE: I mean, always a bridesmaid.

Some of the votes I thought I got, I didnt.

And some of the votes I did get, I didnt think I was going to get.

I really didnt know.

There was like a day, maybe, where I thought like, Did I win?

Like rumors were floating around and I was like, Was it possible I won?

But I feel like I would have probably been terrified of winning.

I feel like Im happy with my results.

If I was a home, I was like, I would be wanting that guy to win.

So I think it all worked out for the best.

Well it looked like the Goliath bros all went for Nick.

So I could understand why a lot of those votes didnt go to me.

When you were heading into that final Tribal Council, how were you feeling about your chances?

But I also have to say… Nick won the game and he deserves to win.

He played an amazing game.

It was a little bit more of an existential crisis for me.

It wouldnt be transformative like it is for some other people.

And I love Nick.

Im like, whatever.

Not to take anything away from his victory, because he won it fair and square.

I think he won it based on people thinking he played the best game.

But it was a little hard for me to just ask for it and just ask for the win.

Whom would you have brought to the end?

Whom did you want to be sitting next to?Somebody else Goliath strong obviously.

Thats why people hate me, because I was the Goliath strong guy.

So I was always just like, Lets get out the Davids!

So I was happy to sit with any of those Goliaths at the end.

But if there was a David that I was wanting to keep till the end, it was Nick.

But I wasnt thinking straight to be honest.

Or,If Id been a little stronger.My regrets came at final Tribal.

I just wussed out.

I want to win.

It just was hard.

Theres a big conflict that I just didnt know what I wanted in that moment.

Youre such a big fan of the show.

I remember when we first spoke, you told me you thought I was going to like this season.

I had no idea I would itthismuch.

I mean, atop five season for me.

I just cant say enough about how impressed I am by the whole crew.

Okay, you didAmazing Racetwice.

Today, if you ask me, no.

I dont think I could do it again.
