From the moment he landed on the beach forSurvivor: Ghost Island, Domenick Abbate played big.Reallybig.
Which jury votes surprised him?
Does he regret not taking on Wendell at the fire-making contest himself?

And just be real with me for a minute.
Because Im not sure I would ever get over it.You know, its definitely disappointing.
Theres no question in my mind, I know I left it all out there.
And life is still good with me.
Its not like Im in a hole anywhere.
Everythings good, Im doing alright.
And I think also the Sebastian vote.
And I just think they werent having it, and that, to me, really bummed me out.
The problem is that weve never seen this fire-making challenge before.
But going back, maybe I should have.
Well, how do you think you wouldve done?
He builds things with his hands for a living.
You work as well with your hands.
It was always very close.
So it was like Whats gonna happen when I get there?
Is it gonna be a good run or is it gonna be a bad run?
and ultimately I didnt take the shot.
And thats the one thing that really sticks with me that man, I really should have did it.
You cant take the shot.
Ive seen every season of this game and its never happened.
And that was where I dropped the ball because I was overconfident for the first time in the game.
I think I have this thing wrapped up.
You know, best moves dont necessarily have to be flashy big moves.
It could literally be having the ability to read someone.
Hes not pulling the wool over my eyes, I have the ability to see this.
You dont see it, I do see it.
those couple of reads that I have that were good for me Im proud of.
Im not really sure why he pulled all the stuff out.
I wasnt expecting that.
But another underrated move that Im most proud of is getting rid of Bradley.
I was on the outs of Wendell, Bradley, and Kellyn.
So that was a moment that was not shown.
Theyve had this fire-making wrinkle for two seasons now and both winners have gone through fire.
Is the winner of that last immunity challenge now cursed?
In front of a jury, I sent Angela out to her death.
And it made it look like a slaughter and Wendell look like a hero doing it.
And if they dont, I gotta tell you Im gonna be pretty bummed.
Because I do believe that it will make for a better final three.
Absolutely I would because I think its better for the show.
I do support it.
I know a lot of people hate it, they think its ridiculous.
So I think they accomplish what they were trying to do by making this final Tribal more exciting.
Because at this point, I wouldnt even go for it again.
But I mean hands down, yeah, of course Id go back in a second.
