And to this day, what is it, June 3rd of 2026, a year later, roughly about, I am actually 173.

I'm back to my normal weight like nothing happened.

So luckily, I'm all good.

Nothing happened.

you know, major happened to me.

But when it comes to my turnaround, I, as a Survivor savant, know all the history and the lore with Survivor.

So when Jeff gives me the call, literally before I even go home after Survivor 49, asking me to be on Survivor 50, I was like, wow, first of all,

My ego was already through the roof.

I made it to the final four.

Had I beat Savannah on fire, I could have won.

And Jeff is going to ask me.

He has the audacity to ask me to play.

Not again, but on season 50, the biggest season of all time, my ego was going through the roof.

So I'm like, of course I'm going to do it.

And I think I had a big advantage because...

You know, you see people like Malcolm, Russell Hance, Amanda Kimmel that come back to back, go very deep again.

So with the way I played Survivor 49, loud, boisterous, boisterous with this freaking idol, I thought this is going to be so, so great.

And I also knew that Savannah was coming back too.

So I was like, I have my number one ally coming with me too.

This is like a Christmas miracle.
