ADAM LARSON:Thank you.
It was a long time in the making, I’d say.

Steve and I, we were patient, we were kind with each other.
We had good communication.
The girls love that they haveChallengeparents.
That’s whatRoad Rulesdid for me in Morocco and Spain half a lifetime ago.
And I went intoAll Stars 4broken.

She’s living with us, and she is the girls' mom.
She jokes about that she’s going to ask me to marry her, to the girls.

How bad was it?
MEINKE:Can you specify, because there’s probably about three or four things that are going on.

If you’re bored and you want to be grossed out, just look up COVID toes.
Instant explosion, I strained my quad, and I was done for the rest of the day.
I’ve also got shoddy knees and shoddy calves.
Everything’s just kind of bad on me.
I’m still going through physical therapy for it, so that’s fun.
I have no feeling in my entire right leg, for a while.
He also went back on your deal to throw you into another elimination.
How do you feel about that now?
He’s a very intelligent, charming, athletic guy, but it’s a team.
LARSON:I had the power to put him in multiple times and make that move.
He played the best game, but we saw him for who he was from the very get-go.
Steve never trusted him.
But I guess they weren’t enough of a threat.
But I do respect him.
Was it really that close in the moment?
LARSON:I thought we blew everybody out of the water.
