SPENCER BLEDSOE:Hoo, man.
I actually bonded quite a bit with Savage.
Kelly Wiglesworth, I had no idea.
For Joe, I had no idea.
I thought I did have a shot.
But I thought I had a shot.
I thought Jeremy had a shot as well.
How did you feel about your chances after Jermeys mic-drop revelation about the unborn baby boy?
Honestly, when he first said that I was just thinking, thats amazing!
I wasnt really even calculating.
Ten seconds later, I was calculating and realized that yeah, I was out of it.
I knew I had lost.
But you know, the thing is, Jeremy wins anyway.
I think Jeremy probably beats me without that revelation.
I think the jury saw him as having played the better game.
Yeah, I dont know.
I think I couldve phrased it better.
I probably shouldve just stuck to I will 100 percent vote for her.
Probably just a more reserved way of saying a similar thing.
But as far as morally, it was always just gameplay.
So it ruffled feathers on the jury.
I was just hoping it would be gameplay.
I probably just got a little too emphatic with it.
[Clearly surprised]Huh.
I think I didnt feel that way, to be honest.
We talked quite a bit about some personal things, so that betrayal was especially rough.
I actually felt worse about betraying Kelley than betraying anyone else.
But youd have to talk to her more.
I definitely never was trying to alienate people.
I cant think of anything where I was pushing people away.
I was definitely trying to have the best situation I could with everyone.
Yeah, how smart am I?
I didnt realize that if you get close to people and betray them, theyll be mad.
Youre right, I did.
I focused on relationships, and the downside of that is people dont feel happy with you.
That doesnt explain every vote.
You dont lose just because you betrayed people.
There were absolutely jurors sitting there who looked at it objectively and thought Jeremy played the better game.
Were there any votes you thought you would get that didnt come through?
There wasnt a single person I thought I got their vote.
I thought I had a shot at a few peoples votes.
I thought maybe Joe, maybe Keith, Ciera I had a shot at her vote.
Those were three people who I think gave me a fair shot.
We heard you tell Jeff Probst at the Reunion that you stopped watching this season at one point.
Its because every week was a chance to second-guess something.
The vulnerability of emotion was great.
You had your chance to get rid of Jeremy and you didnt do it.
But thats not easy!
What did you do Wednesday nights?
My girlfriend and I usually tried to do something fun most Wednesday nights.
Wed go to dinner or something.
Id just try and keep a low profile on social media.
[Laughs] I just tried to do my best to mitigate what I would see.
Of course, things would slip through the cracks, people would send me links to videos.
But I did my best to stay offline, stay off social media as much as I could.
Could you see yourself playing a third time?
I could, but I dont think I will.
But Im actually telling the truth.
I dont think so.
Yeah, its definitely harder.
How could he not consider voting Jeremy out?
Its like, Ive weighed these things out in my head, and I thought it through.
I thought it through very wrong, but trust me, I thought it through.
Its hard going out there, its hard watching it.
