Finally Made It

Rick is happy to be on Survivor after applying fourteen times
"I'm Rick. I'm 51 years old. I own my own ranch in Utah. Cattle ranch. Applied for Survivor 14 times. Finally, FINALLY, after Survivor 8, all the way to here. Finally made it. Here. Look. (tugs at buff) Buff. We're on it."

"The physical part is gonna be tough, no doubt about it."

"But the social game is gonna be my very toughest part. I like to trust people, have them trust me. In Survivor you can't do that. You have to do it to a part. (?) You can't stick it in 'em the whole way and try to get their votes at the end. Ask Sash. Ask Russell. They made it to the end but they'd broke it into everybody on the way up there and they didn't get any votes. I want to win. I didn't leave my family to come all the way up here to lay on the beach to eat rice and fish heads. I wanna win the million bucks. I want to go the end and do whatever I gotta do to get there and actually win."

"Can you imagine being one of 23 people in the world to say you've actually played the game of Survivor and won. 39 days. You can go camping for 7, 8, 10 days. It's not that tough. Can you imagine 39 days out here? Your mouth's gonna have that scum in it form not brushing your teeth. Your butt's gonna itch, your hair's gonna be smashed to your head, you're gonna be miserable. But you just reach inside yourself and get through it and do it."

"I'm hoping staying by myself all the time - it's a game with people, but you're by yourself. Don't get nobody wrong. When you're out here, you're gonna be thinking the whole time, 'This guy's gonna stick one in me,' 'She's gonna stick one in me.' You're basically kind of by yourself. You're gonna find one or two people you can try to trust, but if you trust 'em completely, you're gonna go home, I believe. I think that's gonna help me. It's in here. (points to here) In here a lot (points at head) but there ain't a lot in here for me. It's in here (points at heart). You've gotta have a lot of heart in it. Stay focused on what you gotta do. I'm gonna try to talk to everybody every day. Not just hi, how are you, but find out who they are, where they're from, who they like on the tribe, who pisses 'em off. Just kind of work it that way. Do 130% around camp, help everybody, do your best in challenges, like there ain't no tomorrow. Hopefully there is a tomorrow."

"We'll have to see what kind of personalities folks got. Might be like some Holsteins and some Jerseys and some sheep. They might all go a different way. Hopefully I can manipulate 'em, to get what I need to get done. You've gotta do it with finesse, if you want to get a vote. People are like cattle, in that they want their own space. Once you figure out how close you can walk to 'em without 'em jumping back, you'll be alright. Or, jump at 'em and get 'em to jump back."

"I'm excited at Redemption Island because you get a do-over. When you get there you can dig in and - that's a wake-up call. That's a big hand coming out of the sky and slapping you in the head and saying, 'Come on sport. Get some game. This isn't halfway to home, this is halfway to get back up. Now get back up.' That's what I'm looking forward to. If you're there, you better dig it, give it all you got, because there is no tomorrow after that."

"This is just like any kind of competition, I think. Whether it's anything. You train. If you didn't run, if you didn't lift weights, if you didn't learn how to build a fire, if you didn't learn how to build some kind of structure to sleep in, you might as well spit in the wind."

"I got a little routine. I'd leave my house and down to my feed yards, about three-quarters of a mile. I'd run down every morning. I didn't care if the snow was that deep, if it was 20 degrees, whatever. I'd run down, feed 60, 70 bales, come back, 10 miles on my bike. Every time I'd come back, I know it's corny, but all I'd hear in my head was Jeff Probst going, 'Survivors ready...go.' Take off running, and get after it. Oh yeah. It's gonna be good."

"I'm just so thankful to get the opportunity to do this."

"This is gonna be a life-changing experience. I hope it's not when I get home that my wife's gone and the cows are gone. (laughs) I hope it's good."
