Could'a, would'a, should'a. What was going through Jason's head after he was tricked?
"Well, I can't say I blame everybody for getting rid of me at this point in the game. I believe I was a strong competitor in the challenges and if I made it to the final three I would've been able to pull 4 votes from the jury to win the million dollars. On their part it was a strong, strategic move getting rid of me tonight, and it was my mistake in not playing the hidden immunity idol which I was able to discover on Exile Island. You win some, you lose some. Tonight I lost, but I wouldn't have made it this far if it weren't for the love from my family and friends back home. I just want to say thank you and peace, love, and happiness to everyone."(cut)
"I was definitely played today by Natalie, and the rest of the girls. That was their part of the game. They did the same thing in voting out Ozzy. I should have been a little more wary of what they were telling me, but I had to take my chances and trust someone in the game. What they did tonight will definitely come back to haunt them as I'm sitting up there on the jury. It will be interesting to see who makes the final three and who I will give my vote of a million dollars to."
(cut)
"I took my chances tonight in not playing the hidden immunity idol because I didn't want to show I was distrustful of the new female alliance I was in. It was my mistake not to play this (clutches the hidden immunity idol), I should have pulled it out of my bag right before Jeff read the votes, but I didn't. In hindsight, I definitely should have played it, but right now, it doesn't matter, it'll be a nice keepsake for me on my desk at home."
(cut)
"I'm definitely sure this is the real idol. I should have played it tonight but I didn't. I'm sure Ozzy feels the same way. That'll be something we can talk about later in life."
(cut)
"It's a bit comforting knowing Ozzy and I went out in the same way. It shows that we were strong competitors in this game and we were feared."
(cut)
"No hard feelings. I played a hard game, did the best I could, made a couple mistakes here and there. Tonight was one of them. You live and learn. Next time I would have played the real hidden immunity idol."
(cut)
"I made it 30 days out here, being the so-called jerk of the group. I didn't come into the game anticipating I would become that person or play that role. I went along with it but still I made it 30 days out here. I'm proud of myself."
(cut)
"At this stage of the game I understand why everyone chose to vote me out. I'm a strong competitors and I definitely feel I could have pulled some of the votes from the jury. The looks I get, I definitely feel I would have been able to get Eliza's vote, possibly Ozzy's, and a couple of the other people who will soon be voted off. It was a smart, strategic move to get rid of me, I just wish I had been a little smarter and played the hidden immunity idol when I had the chance."
Tribal Council Voting
The tribe split their votes in fear of the Hidden Immunity Idol. Watch as they cast off another blindsided Survivor.
Amanda (Jason): I think you're a great person. This is a purely strategic move tonight. I wish you the best of luck in everything that you do. And you are playing a better social game towards the end, except for all the clams...(whispers) I found them all. But yeah, you did step up your game. Good job.Alexis (James): Sorry James, you're the biggest threat out here right now. It's not personal.
Jason (James): James, you played a good game. Unfortunately, Parvati got you in the end. Yeah, take care.
Cirie (Jason): People don't change overnight. Sorry.
James (Parvati): You couldn't just frolic naked and enjoy the heavens. You had to eat the damn apple.
Parvati (Jason): You should really chew with your mouth closed. Seriously. It's bad.
Erik (Jason): See ya, wouldn't wanna be ya.
Natalie (James): This doesn't necessarily mean you're going home tonight, and this is not what the vote is for. Hopefully it's an avoided vote because I love ya. You'll still be here.
Secret Scene: Jason
Jason is blown away that the plan to oust Ozzy actually worked. Watch as he thanks his tribe for believing in him and giving him another shot.
(day 28; various tribemates are working on the fire)Cirie: Ozzy was pissed. I've never seen him that angry.
Natalie: It couldn't have gone any more beautifully though.
Cirie: I know, I know.
Jason: I thought I was going home. I did. Then when he didn't play the Idol, I was like...
Alexis: Omigod, my heart stopped.
Cirie: Me too. When I came back from voting, we never really look at each other.
Jason: I saw him touching his bag. He kept fluffing it up. I'm like, if he plays the idol, I'm definitely gone.
Alexis: That has to feel twice as bad, having the idol and still getting blindsided. That's what has to be killing him.
Jason (solo): I think I misread some of the people out here and misread the alliances that were going on. The vote against Ozzy really made me change my impressions of some of the people out here and has given me another chance to go farther in this game.
Jason: I want to say thank you guys for keeping to your word.
Alexis: That is one thing I do. That is one thing I do. That's one thing you know, J, when I give you my word. That's more to me than anything.
Jason (solo): Natalie, Alexis, Cirie and Parvati kept their word and did not vote me out. Cirie and I have made some strong connections, Alexis and I have been friends throughout the whole game, and after the voteout of Ozzy, I definitely look at them as being part of my alliance to try to take myself to the final three.
Cirie (to Natalie and Alexis after Jason goes to get wood): Jason has to go. If we don't get him comfortable to where he lets his guard down to be beat...I don't know if we'll get him out.
Alexis: I hope he gets comfortable where he doesn't feel like he absolutely has to win.
Cirie: All bets are off now. We stuck to our word and totally Jason if he doesn't win. (they all laugh and agree)
Jason Annoys James
James describes his preference of going head to head against the best physical competitors; however, the arrogance of some pushes the wrong buttons.
(Jason offers Alexis a coconut)Alexis: You start babe, you opened it.
Jason: I've opened many coconuts.
James (solo): I would love to compete against Jason if Jason wasn't such an ass. He's so irritating. Eating with your mouthful of food and you're just smacking. He gargles his soup. (shots of Jason eating coconut with his mouth open and then slurping the juice from the coconut) I don't know, he just drives me crazy. I want to battle it out against the best athlete. He is in that realm. What he does with the arrogance usually gets people punched.
Jason: I'm sure they're praying I don't win.
(one more slurp of the coconut)
Cirie's Frustration
Watch as Cirie vents about the 'fakeness' of her tribemates and the burden of putting her fate in others' hands.
"We got back from the reward challenge and we all kind of got together and they started panicking about Jason being on Exile. It's funny to me cause everyone is like, 'Oh God we shouldn't have sent Jason,' 'Oh God, what if he finds it.' Well, where was all that panic when Natalie was asking who wanted to go? I went already, it was not pleasant for me. I just came back. I don't feel bad for not volunteering myself to go again. Now we're back and everybody's (mocking voice), 'Oh, I should have went, oh damn, oh darn, I should've gone.' Whatever. Then you should've went. Before we went to the challenge, everybody's like, 'I don't wanna go, I don't wanna go,' but now, it's such bull. Everybody is so phony. This game, you have to be, but at times it's kind of aggravating."(cut)
"I wasn't really into the, 'Oh we shouldn't have let Jason gone.' You're right, you shouldn't have. Then step up and go. You don't wanna go. None of them wanted to go. They even looked at me. Hell no, I'm not going! I went already! Twice. There's a lot of people there who haven't gone one time. Now that Jason is there already, now that there's no chance of them going, (mocking voice, holds hands to chest), 'I would have went. I should have gone.' Yeah, you should've."
(cut)
"Natalie sending Jason to Exile Island is a chance for him to find the immunity idol again."
(cut)
"This is the one person that no one wants to have the idol. That's on them. They sent him. They could have went. I don't feel bad, I went already. She should have went. Step up and send James. Send Alexis. Send Parvati. Send Amanda. Send Erik, for God's sake. If you don't wanna send any of the girls, good, that's granted, but you got two guys sitting here."
(cut)
"I don't trust anybody here. I don't trust Natalie, I don't trust Parvati, I don't trust any of 'em. At this point? Are you kidding me? That's what makes this game really, really hard, because when I don't trust you, it kind of makes me not like you. (laughs) Especially when I thought I could trust you. Like Parvati. I thought I could trust Parvati, but now, I don't know. Not so much. And it makes me less inclined to (fake smile and giggle) with you."
(cut)
"I'm so sick of, 'Ohmigosh, it's so amazing!' I'm like, 'Yeah, mmm-hmm, mmm-hmm.'"
(cut)
"After the five girls talked, I was like OK, it's a done deal, five girls strong, but I feel like you have to nurture it every day, every second you have to keep an eye on them. I feel like I'm the only one, and Parvati, who's like a thousand percent down for the five girls thing."
Jason the Day After
A fan of Survivor, Jason loved of every moment of the life-changing game. Does he have any regrets? Find out now.
"The things that were the most fun for me in playing the game of Survivor would have to be first the challenges. I'm a very competitive perosn and having these awesome challenges created specifically for the cast of Survivor is an incredible experience. Getting to run and climb and swim all over all sorts of things was just a really great experience. One of the other things I liked about the game was the survival aspect. Coming out here and actually surviving for 30 days with only what nature provides you was something you can't get anywhere else, unless you go out into the wilderness on your own. Coming out here and being able to survive for 30 days living on clams and fish and coconuts is definitely one of the things I enjoyed about the game the most."
(cut)
"I grew up in an island setting and I thought coming out here would be a breeze. It happened to be much more difficult than I assumed, and those first couple days of finding coconuts, gathering food, and building shelter were much more difficult than I anticipated."
(cut)
"Beating Ozzy in the first individual immunity challenge was not only important for the self-gratification I received after beating him, it was also an important moment in the game that kept me in the game for a little while longer. Beating Ozzy I was able to have a personal victory over him and it also allowed me to stay in the game a little while longer."
(cut)
"I would say the survival aspect of the game turned out to be much more difficult than I anticipated because I was forced to do it with 9 other tribemates. Having 9 other tribemates out there, or a tribe of 10 people total, was really difficult in the fact there wasn't a lot of food to go around. When there's 10 mouths to feed or house is much more difficult than if there was 8 or 7 or 6. I think just the sheer number of tribe members we had in the beginning of the game made it much more difficult to survive in the elements."
(cut)
"In the game I turned out to be the solo game player, but in my typical daily life I have a lot of friends. I'm quite the social person. I did not anticipate coming out here and being the outcast among the tribe, but things worked out the way they did, and I was able to survive until day 30 playing that game, but no, in my typical day to day life I'm quite the social person, I love going to coffeehouses and hanging out, meeting new people. I wasn't prepared for the conditions we had to survive in socially and I think it took its toll on me and the other tribe members where in the Survivor setting we were in it was hard for me to socially relate with some of the people I was with."
(cut)
"The final day that I had in the game I was feeling a bit down. I'd spent 2 days on Exile where I hadn't had much food, but I was excited about having the hidden immunity idol and I was excited about the new alliance I thought I was in with Natalie, Alexis, Cirie and myself. Unfortunately, I was sent home. I definitely could have stayed out in the game for the duration of the 39 days. Unfortunately, I didn't get that chance. Yeah, if I could still be out there now, I would."
(cut)
"I would say if I had the opportunity to play the game again, I would definitely watch the way I treated other people and be more conscious of my reactions."
(cut)
"The 24 hours in each day really becomes monotonous and long, so when you're watching the show on television, it's an hour long episode for a couple of days. You really don't get to see how much time is spent with your tribemates. Just the tediousness of some of the things. Making a fire can actually take you 3 hours instead of the 2 minutes it looks like it takes on television."
(cut)
"I'm sure I'm going to get the most grief about the immunity idol I thought was the real hidden immunity when in fact it was just a stick that Ozzy carved. I've been thinking a lot about wow I'm going to look so stupid. I'm just gonna have to tell them about how I really felt. When I found the idol, or what I thought was the idol, I was really excited. My thoughts were they could have created an idol that was really simple, or easy to hide from other tribemates. That's honestly what I thought. I was taken for a ride. It'll prove to be pretty funny, I'm sure. I'll be able to handle it."
