ButSurvivorwinner Tyson Apostol has a different opinion.
“But I pretty much drove the entire game all the way to this point.
I’ve known every single thing that was going to happen.
I’ve sucked a ton of people in around me and have lost very few of my allies.
But when I did lose them, I had a plan B.”
He adds with a deadpan, “You’re welcome,Survivorcommunity.”
Survivorrunner-up Domenick Abbate and winner Sarah Lacina both think it all comes down to loyalty.
“Of the people left, there’s still sixSurvivors.
I mean, that’s insane, because we started with eight,” Lacina says.
“We’ve only lost two throughout the entire season.
I think it just goes to show that loyalty actually works and gets you through the game.
I’m not saying we all like each other, but we’ve all stayed loyal to each other.
That’s why we’re here.”
“Mentally, we’re all pretty tough,” she says.
I can’t say that I’m surprised thatSurvivors made it this far.”
“I feel I’m an honorarySurvivorat this point,” she says.
“I had moments to prove my loyalty, which I did.”
“Big Brotherjust cannibalized each other,” he says.
“I’m really tight with the guys ofSurvivor.
I feel like they had my back more than anyone from my season ofBig Brother.”
“I think theLove Islandpeople probably waited too long to beg for mercy and then it was too late.
Just stick to what you’re good at: love.
I’m good at slitting throats.”
The Challenge: USAtwo-hour finale airs Wednesday on CBS.
