Read on to keep LIVIN!

Vesi went from losing all the challenges to winning all the challenges.

We found our grit!

What’s something interesting that happened in the pre-merge portion of the game that never made it to TV?

We had these endangered birds living on our island.

They seemed overzealous, acting as if they had been castaways for days!

It was fun planting seeds and interacting with another tribe for the first time.

I wanted no part of this conduct.

Seemed like a battle we did not need to be a part of.

What was the favorite moment you experienced this season leading up to the merge?

The night after the Nneka vote off……I felt gutted.

Finally, tell us everything about the “Livin!!”

It’s a perspective and lifestyle.

One beer/story led to another, and a comment turned into a draft on a napkin.

Bartender bribery ensued, and we were off to make our parents proud!!

Our right butt cheek was a unanimous decision.

The tattoo artist was far from thrilled to put LIVIN!!

on multiple grown men’s asses… but hey, 50 bucks is 50 bucks.
