Interview with Ron Clark ("Survivor") at the exit: "I escaped the price"

"I took my eyes off the price," confessed Ron Clark after being eliminated from "Survivor: Edge of Extinction" at a memorable tribal council in which two benefits (a hidden idol and an additional vote) were played. Ron had concocted an evil plan in which he offered his expired menu of benefits to Rick Devenshoping that would convince him to trust him. Unfortunately for Ron, Rick later found a real idol of immunity that saved him from his elimination. Scroll through the list to see Ron's "Survivor" exit interview episode 12 of Season 38.

"I fooled myself," said Ron about Gavin Whitson and Lauren O'Connell vote for him and not for Aurora McCreary, according to Ron's plan. "I should have known, I'm not 100% sure of what happened, I feel bad about Devens, if I knew how bad it feels to me to elect, I might have behaved a little differently. "

Ron then took the torch on Extinction Island, where he joined shipwrecked Reem Daly, Chris Underwood, Aubry Bracco, Joe Anglim, Eric Hafemann, Julia Carter, David Wright, Kelley Wentworth and Dan "Wardog" DaSilva. One of these players will come back to the game soon and will have another chance to win the $ 1 million prize.

"Well, I've heard a lot of good things about you. Everyone likes you, "Reem told Ron after arriving in his new home on the desert island. When Ron said he had lied, Reem rolled his eyes and said, "It's a game. Everyone is a liar. "

Ron had a whirlwind episode to be sure, as he was starting the hour of play, winning the reward of the loved ones, allowing him to spend the day with his husband. He chose to take Julie Rosenberg and Gavin Whitson, as well as their wives, with him at the picnic where Ron soon bragged about being responsible for the entire game. Thanks!
