He dropped all the water bags in one challenge.
He missed an easy open chair in a musical chairs challenge.
And his performance in this week’s trivia challenge was … well, pretty rough.

ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY: So what happened this season?

That was pretty rough.
I remember walking through the airport and trying to talk myself up.
And it’s just difficult when you’re transitioning from a relationship.

There’s just so much to process.
It’s a major life change.
And then there’s so much to prepare for going onto aChallenge.
Sleep was probably one of my biggest challenges leading up to departure.
And then once I got to the house, with the jet lag, sleep became more difficult.
That was probably one of my major setbacks this season.
There were too many nights most nights I was up all night.
It was not the best routine.
It was just a real challenge for me.
I’m not a napper.
I normally can’t nap during the day.
That threw me off quite a bit.
And it wasn’t just the breakup; there was a couple of other personal things happening as well.
But it wasn’t an easy transition.
Does that add pressure going into seasons now?
I guess I really never thought about it in that light.
I was feeling like we were on track after the first challenge because I was the first male finisher.
Once I did that, I started to panic a little bit.
I think it was obvious.
After that challenge loss, Laurel told you that you needed to figure out why you couldnt focus.
What was your reaction to her in that moment?
She was a little harsh.
But that’s Laurel’s gameplay.
She’s that hard on herself, so I will never judge her for that.
I’m not sleeping.
I want this to get better.But performing like this was clearly not the answer to that.
It just wasn’t my best work this season.
If you could go back, what would you do differently?
I don’t know how to practice sleeping.
If I did, that would help a lot.
But man, we can’t end on this note.
I don’t know how many more of these we have.
I was struggling with the whole season.
I was able to see that clear as day.
I wish I can get a redo.
Unfortunately, it doesn’t work like that.
I mean, even analyzing that statement I just made, I made mistakes but I was just off.
Once I lost my sleep schedule, I wasn’t playing as well as I’m used to.
And it wasn’t even necessarily the physical part.
How are you learning from this season to double-check that doesn’t happen again?
And I didn’t do a good job of that.
I said, “Horrible season.”
What was your reaction when you learned you were going into elimination against Adam?
But I’m not judging their choices.
What was it like competing in that elimination?
Looking back, I think I was distracted by the giant controller.
It was more of a remembering the code kind of thing.
To be honest with you, it just wasn’t the right elimination for me.
Could you tell that Adam was pulling ahead while you were competing?
I don’t know how to explain it.
I haven’t watched it yet, so I’m going off a year of a memory.
He’s a strong player.
He’s a strategic, smart player.
