I should have played the idol, and that’s the biggest mistake I made.
I brought the hidden immunity idol to Tribal Council in spirit. I said I was going to put it in my bag, but I just didn’t do it. It was a stupid mistake. The idol will be wiped clean, they’ll have a new one with new rules and everything. I have no idea where the idol is today, but I think I’m going to carve a new one. You’ll be able to get signature Ozzy idols on my website.
Romancing Amanda
It was pretty much spontaneous and just kind of happened. It was like jungle fever, I guess. I think we did a pretty good job, in the beginning, of getting away from being viewed as a couple, and then it slowly became a little more apparent.
Still, a lot of people sort of cuddle with each other; it wasn’t just me and her. We all sleep next to each other and it just kind of happened. We had to stay close to each other to maintain a certain body temperature.
We’re still dating. It’s one of those things that we’re taking day-by-day.
The Big Blindside
Parvati was my friend. We’d had the experience of the Cook Islands and she lived right near by me, so we had a relationship outside of the game. I didn’t think that she would do that. Of course it hurts more if it’s a friend. If your friend decided to screw you over to get a little cash, that’s basically the equivalent.
I wouldn’t do the same because we had a four-person alliance - once it got down to that, it was the understanding that all bets were off.
I think James and Amanda were pretty pissed off, seeing as not only did Parvati screw me over, but she screwed them out of an alliance. They’re going to have to do whatever they can to figure out another angle. Parvati’s putting James and Amanda into a really hard position.
It was Cirie’s idea, but at the same time, Cirie and I weren’t friends. That’s just part of the game. Because it was Parvati and I thought she would warn me if something like that was happening, I didn’t see it coming.
It’s just the way it goes. I’ve got a website now called HumbleNoble.com as a homage to the whole experience. I was humbled, and that’s where it’s left me.
