I even watched Bruce find his two feet away from me!

You have no idea!
What was your favorite non-game interaction you had with someone out there in the first 23 days?
AUSTIN LI COON:Drew and I became master crab hunters out on the island.
and chuck them over to me, where I would then proceed to smack them dead with our paddle.
Drew was truly my best friend out there, and we had so much fun every day.
Another hilarious moment with Drew was when he started sleep talking strategy one night shortly after the merge.
One that really stands out was early on in the game with OG Reba.
We highlighted positive things about each persons character and it was absolutely wholesome.
JAKE OKANE:Aw, man.
Bruce and I would tease each other a lot out there.
He was the old man out there, and I let him know it.
We had a lot of laughs.J Mayaand I geeked out a bunch over our love of musicals.
The theatre kid alliance that could have been!
JULIE ALLEY:I LOVED my Reba tribe!!
We had so many amazing moments together.
But I loved my first talk with Katurah the day of the merge.
Now knowing that we were both hiding the fact that we were attorneys makes the moment even sweeter.
I’m sure your mother is very proud!"
which, I admit, in hindsight is a little creepy, haha.
What was your lowest moment over the first 23 days?
AUSTIN LI COON:Day 10 was by far the most difficult day physically.
We had recently swapped tribes, so I was with new tribe members at Belo beach.
On top of all that, it rained the ENTIRE night.
Belos shelter had a terrible roof, so we spent 10 hours being pummeled with rain.
We were so cold and wet that we almost forgot about how much our stomachs hurt from hunger.
Tough days.DEE VALLADARES:Day 10 was straight out of a horror movie!
This was right after the tribe swap when a huge storm kept us up all night.
That was the absolute lowest point for me.
Not personal on their parts, they are all wonderful people.
Regardless of how much Im beat down, I will exclusively play to win.
JULIE ALLEY:Night 10 was horrific!!
It poured ALL night!
It was so terrible.
KATURAH TOPPS:The time I spent on Lulu beach (after the tribe swap).
AUSTIN LI COON:Once again, I gotta go with Kellie.
Everybody wanted to work with Kellie even players she wanted to vote out!
She was much more special and strategic than what she thought she was out there.
JAKE OKANE:Have you met Kellie Nalbandian?
I call her Machine Guns Kel.
JULIE ALLEY:Emily.
Her alliances with Drew and Austin scared me, and I thought they would bring her to the end.
KATURAH TOPPS:Emily.
I enjoyed our strategic plots about how we’d get out Bruce and Julie, respectively.
