"Oh, man. When we walked in, I was on cloud 9 after getting the message from my brother. Then finding out only one person was eliminated, and only the winner of the duel would get to have time with his loved one. I just knew I had to win this duel. I went out, and I had the wrong technique - I was going overhand, probably should have been going underhand. But you know what, I'm glad it wasn't me who had to make that decision, because I don't think I would be able to make the decision Mike had. It was definitely tough. I was not envious of Mike's win today. I'm just glad to still be here another day."

"Everybody at camp's pretty down. Obviously Mike wanted to spend time with his mom."

"But it was a really tough decision, because the Ometepe tribe has not been nice to any of the Zapatera members."

"For him to bury the olive branch like that and offer them peace and love them more than they love themselves, that was really powerful, and I'm really proud of him for making that decision. That's why I'm glad he won, because I don't think I could have done it."

"When I was sitting there, I thought he was gonna choose me and Ralph, and I was thinking, please don't, because I wouldn't have been able to bear it, knowing he sacrificed being with his loved one for us. I felt like he was gonna make the right decision, and he was gonna pick it for the whole group, and not for just us, because it wouldn't have been fair for someone out here on Redemption Island to have their loved one, and the other two, or the other one, not. We have each other out here, and it's another day out here on Redemption Island. Time to move forward."

"My view hasn't changed of Mike. I've always respected him since I first started spending time out here. It took a huge, very big man, with a very big heart, to make the decision he made today. I applaud him, and I look forward to continuing our friendship. We've had a great friendship blossom out here, and I can't wait to carry it on outside the game."
