A Piece of Home

Alicia reveals how precious the letters from home are to her.
"Treemail comes, and my favorite thing is a wallet full of money (laughs); homegirl knows how to spend it wisely. I already said in my head I was not gonna spend this money on food. I was gonna buy myself some nice Louis Vuittons, or a designer handbag, whatever. It's 13 more days of eating rice - who cares? I could last. We get to the challenge. I'm adamant about not spending my money, and Jeff, all of a sudden, pulls out letters. I thought this was gonna be a food challenge. I don't know what came over me, but I didn't even think. Right away I just said, $500. I couldn't even believe that that even came out of my body. I was planning on buying something amazing with that money. That letter to me was priceless. I would have given up so much more to get those letters from my family."

"I have my letters, from everyone in my family, my mom and dad, and my two sisters. Right away the first letter was from my dad, and like I said to Jeff, I've never received a letter from my dad, ever. (starts to cry) It was the coolest feeling in the whole world to know that he took the time to write in his own very special way, which was typed, and not even on computer paper, which means he was too lazy to fill the printer up, and grabbed some random paper. Gotta love my dad. I think that got to me more than anything. Just hearing some of his wise words of wisdom, in the letter, was awesome. Knowing that everything is OK at home with my sisters, and they're all doing well and being taken care of, was amazing. Being out here, I am so not that girl that jumped off that truck in stilettos and a dress. All of that went away on day 25. I've learned so much about myself, that 1, I want to be the best person I can be."

"Having these letters, and getting them at whatever cost, I will always have these letters. It goes beyond the game. This is something I can take home and show to my kids, what my parents and my sisters did for me while I was out here. I can always read these words. My family may have not said that to me in person, as much as I want them to. It's awesome to hear it and see it on paper, and share it with everybody, that I have a family at home rooting for me."

"I believe these letters can take me to the end. That's how powerful these letters were to me. Knowing that my family is supporting me all the way. When I left them, they didn't really say much. I had some lonely nights out here, questioning if they really wanted me to do this. Just reading all these great things about how I'm a wonderful daughter and I amaze my mom every time I do something, or my sister admires me, and I'm doing things she's afraid of doing. (starts to cry) It's awesome. It's a great feeling to know they see me as this wonderful woman when sometimes I don't even see it. It's probably the coolest thing in the world right now. I wish everybody else could have gotten their letters. I'm sorry, I paid $500 for them, and they could not get them. At the same time, I think that's to my advantage, that I got a piece of home and they didn't."
A Lot In Common

Alicia compares herself to Tarzan.
"I honestly feel that Tarzan and I have a lot more in common than people think. We're both tough-skinned, we don't show our emotions, we don't wear our emotions on our sleeve. We are just cold as ice. When it comes to crying and letting anybody know how we truly feel. I think he truly felt the same way I felt about the letters. We wanted to hear what our loved ones had to say about us and our journey. I honestly, I know that Tarzan misses his wife."

"I was really proud that he gave up his $500, because he is like me, we both were not gonna spend our money today, we were gonna keep it. I'm proud of him. I respect the fact that he doesn't want to share his letters with anybody. It's a private thing, and I hope he really enjoys reading it."
