When we spoke the day before the game began, you mentioned that if you made it to the end, you were thinking of offering to donate your winnings to ALS research in honor of Stacy and asking CBS to do a dollar to dollar match. With that in mind, what were you thinking on day 1 when you found out the grand prize was actually $2 million?
My first thought was, Dang, I should have just said I was going to donate a million dollars instead of all my winnings. Im just kidding, of course. Well, mostly. No, no, Im kidding.
Seriously, though, I was thinking that $2 million could really make a difference in terms of funding ALS research and support. And then I thought my mom would probably kill me if I gave away $2 million dollars. And then I thought maybe I could tell my mom that I was on a special charity edition of Survivor where you couldnt actually keep any money. And then I thought why am I stressing out so much about my mother? And then I thought I really shouldnt have skipped that last appointment with my therapist.

Im a bit nervous about how all this is going to be shown on television, I dont think Ive ever cried on camera before. I wonder if people will be surprised to find Ive upgraded my Yulbot operating system with emotional software that includes a crying subroutine.
