Why Did He Want to Play “Survivor” with His Loved One?: “Survivor” has been one of the most exciting experiences in my life. And to have the chance to share that with my wife is amazing. To have Laura out there on the island with me, we will have the chance to share one of the greatest adventures one can have. You can describe what “Survivor” is like, but until you’ve lived it, it is hard to understand. To be able to go out and play with my best friend will be a dream come true.

Curious - how come swapping into Redemption Island is a positive score? Wouldnt it be negative, as even though it's a noble gesture, strategically it is quite a poor decision, as we saw with Rupert's game. Idiot!

The scores aren't based on value in the game. For such a big move (regardless of sense) it deserves a big reward points-wise.

Ah, OK! That makes sense.
Cheers, GB!
