You know, honestly, I can't tell Jeff this enough and Survivor in general that it really did save my life.

And just going through the trauma of different things with my sister and the real reason why I came on Survivor and they were kind enough to let me play this wonderful game.

I'm indebted to them.

And so there's no such thing as getting third.

And if you think that's losing, you haven't lived my life.

You know, honestly, the vulnerable part for me is I had been going through some really tough times in the moment.

And recently, and I was going through, you know, struggling with depression.

I was struggling with the sadness of this with Joanna and really giving up.

No one was listening to us.

No one was believing this.

And my counselor said to do something really spectacular would be to help you manage the situation with Joanna is do something for you and her.

And I thought back and I said, she had always mentioned that she actually was a super fan.

And, um,

I thought, all right, I'll give it a shot.

Yeah, so there was a four-year gap between us.

And anyone that knows, like with a sibling, specifically the older sister, I always tried to be in charge, but she wouldn't let that happen.

And she just took care of me.

She protected me a lot.

And we were the perfect team.

Yeah, I think that she learned pretty quickly how fiercely protective I was of her.
