But it was my fault.

Trust me, it was all my fault.

Well, thats still an incredible accomplishment to make it all 39 days.Thanks.

Playing with the Devil

CBS

The theme was just, dont go with Ben to the end.

Anybody else but Ben.

And unfortunately for myself and Chrissy, we were sitting next to Ben.

And Im so happy for him.

Ben is such a good dude.

And the way it was worded at Tribal Council was that I was beingtakento the end.

When I heard that I was like, Jeff, Im not being taken to the end.

I worked hard to be here.

But yeah, the fire challenge.

A lot of people on social media are pretty upset about that twist.

I think I overestimated my ability to change peoples minds at final Tribal.

I thought I was going to be a little more successful at doing that.

So I was banking on that.

I was like, just give me a ticket to the playoffs and maybe Ill win the championship!

But that did not work out and maybe I should have just gone for broke.

I think Chrissy gets Mike and JP, and then Devon gets Ashley and Lauren.

So I really dont know.

It was just: Dont go to finals with Ben and youll have a shot.

I put up a good fight at Tribal.

That Tribal was so long.

It was like three hours worth of content.

So we were going at each other blow after blow, argument after argument.

I dont think anybodys minds changed at final Tribal Council.

I think every persons mind was set going in and thats who they voted for and that was that.

I thought I might have changed a vote or two my way, but that was not the case.

But I wouldnt have changed anything I said at final Tribal.

I was proud of my performance there for the most part.

You and Chrissy got a bit chippy there at final Tribal.

Did that surprise you?No.

It was even more chippy than what they showed!

I thought that didnt show any of what we got into really.

Chrissy and I really went at each other.

This is going out.

Its going to be great.

He went right to Devon and that was that.

So you did it, lived your dream, got out there and playedSurvivor.

Now do you do it again?I dont think you cannot pick up whenSurvivorcalls you.

And you didnt come to location this time so I have to play when you come to location!

Thats really the only incentive anybody has to play at this point.

I think that comes across, and Ill always pick up the phone.
