Jeff changes the subject to Coach and asks how it was to play. He says that it was an amazing ride and says that he seeked the redemption that he needed. He says that he was more grounded. Jeff asks about the prayer. He says that in the past, he prayed every day and everyone was grabbing onto faith. He says that everyone on the tribe was doing it and that brought them closer together. He says that he had a fun time and that he learned a lot from it. Jeff asks if it was against Albert and Rick would the jury have voted for Coach. They all raise their hands. However, making the move to get rid of Ozzy was smart because everyone would have voted for Ozzy with no problems.

Jeff talks to Ozzy and asks what brought him out to Survivor again. He says that he got closer to God and says that it is the nature that is the best in the world. He says that everyone, even the little kids can do things and Survivor tells them that they can do anything that they put their minds too. Jeff goes up to a girl in the audience. She asks Ozzy how he did all of that stuff such as: holding his breath for 3 minutes, climbing trees and other things. He says that he did it because he wanted to do it. He reiterates again that kids can do anything they want and that they have to fall to be able to pick themselves up again. He says that is the most important thing to bring back.

Jeff talks to John Cochran and says that since Cochran was a fan, he had a strategy. However, Cochran admits that the plan went out the window when he actually got there and was intimidated by everything. He says that the game changed him dramatically and he is now able to go out into a social atmosphere without being scared. They talk about his paper that he wrote on the difference between the jury on Survivor and the Judicial System. He says that he had a fun time doing it and was happy to have stayed so long. Jeff asks if Cochran is dating and he says that he is not and tells the girls to come at him.

He admits that none of his family is there and that they didn’t like how he played the game. Jeff walks over to Russell Hantz, who is in the audience, and asks how Brandon did. Russell says that if Brandon wants him to sit down, he will. Brandon says that he doesn’t mind the criticism. Russell says that he was the master of Survivor and Brandon was trying to do something that was stupid. He says that right off, he messed it up.
