Getting voted out ofSurvivorsucks.
But whats even worse than getting voted out ofSurvivor?
Getting voted out ofSurvivorbecause you had no vote to save yourself.

And that whomever turned out to be Jason.
How did it feel to go out in that way?
Why did he blow up Aaron on his way out?
And what happened out there that we didnotsee?
Read on for scoopage!
ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY: Lets start with the big moment.
So we knew she had something good.
I knew that they were targeting me specifically and my first thought was, Oh man, Im done.
My goose is cooked.
Let me collect my things, cause my torch is about to get snuffed.
So immediately my knee jerk reaction was, Here it is.
This is how I go home.
There was a lot of whispering going on at Tribal Council after Elaine revealed she was blocking your vote.
Tommy and Dan came over and were whispering to you even though you had no vote to cast.
So she was our first target.
And then ultimately was ourlasttarget.
But in between, our targets were actually Missy and Aaron.
Jason doesnt have a vote.
Had you guys talked to Elaine and Elizabeth about putting votes on Aaron or Missy?No.
I mean, we were working with the facts that we had in front of us.
Theyre not trustworthy either.
So we were pretty confident they were gonna flip before Elaine pulled out this advantage.
So Aaron was the target when you walked into Tribal.
Why Aaron?I mean, now were getting into real technicalities.
Is there another way?
And maybe theres a third option.
Maybe this person who they want out is actually beneficial to their game and helpful to them.
[Aaron and Missy] were both very strategic.
We knew that they were very strategic and we didnt want it to betheirmove.
We wanted it to beourmove and also in the process have the next move and a new ally.
You announced to everyone on your way out to not trust Aaron.
I have no hard feelings towards Aaron.
Aaron and I are friends now.
So I think Aarondidmake the right decision.
I think Aaron probably made the right decision by choosing me at the time.
And I cant fault him one bit for making the move.
You and the original Vokai were all ready to go to rocks.
Nobody really wants to end that experience based on a game of chance.
Theres a lot of luck that goes into the game ofSurvivor.
Of course theres skill, but theres elements of luck along the road ofSurvivor.
So the idea of pulling rocks, its a scary one.
Are you talking about Lauren?
[Laughs] Were throwing names out there.
Are you here to win the game?
You cant flip here.
This season, you were that guy.
Jason, what were you thinking?I had problems before the game even started.
Now that problem got even worse when we did our introductions.
And I intended to lie about being a lawyer.
And in my lie, Ive totally flopped my occupation and everyone says immediately Youre lying!
This is in the first like 10 or 15 seconds of the game.
And immediately people think Im a liar.
So, it was a mistake.
I wasnt just looking for an idol.
I found some shells.
I made a mistake.
I didnt play a perfect game ofSurvivor thats why Im talking to you now.
And so when they said, Oh, what do you do?
I said, Im a…uh…a licensing manager for a manufacturing company!
And everyone just looks at me.
And theyre like, What?
Like that is the biggest lie ever.
It did not go over well.
My first impression was horrible.
Noura comes back from Island of the Idols and let me just tell you, I love Noura.
Clearly, she loves me!
This was a legitimate fake idol that she made there.
And we have no idea, no reason why.
Just total, total craziness, like bizarre.
It was extremely entertaining.
And she just gets up there and were like, What are you talking about?
And then once she told us what the actual challenge was, were all like, Theres no way.
Somebodys going to be sent home because she wants to get an advantage in the game.
Specifically, me and Jamal were really against her being the caller outwardly right away.
So we said, Okay, lets give her a chance to be the caller.
So we gave her a chance.
You saw what happened.
Dan stubbed his toe.
Im sure hes probably still nursing it at this point.
And shes not giving any instruction.
Shes all over the place.
And I said, okay, Watch me do it one time.
Maybe this is how you should be doing it.
And I did it one time and obviously it went very well or a lot better than with Noura.
She was, like, purposely attempt to screw things up for me.
Or maybe she wasnt doing it on purpose.
But she would not listen.
We got to sit her down.
And that conversation was between probably me, Dan, Lauren and Jamal.
And we just said, we got to sit her out.
And Lauren stepped up, turned around and said, Noura, its you.
And immediately in my mind Im like, Oh my gosh!!!
