Frosti's Final Words
James on his Fight with Peih-Gee
Watch as James vents his frustrations out on Peih-Gee. Find out how he really feels after Peih-Gee blamed James for the Reward loss.
"Peih-Gee, she's just stupid. I mean the stuff she does is simply amazing. How can you knowing, being in the position and escaping near-death last night, seemed like she'd have been a little more grounded, a little more quiet. I can understand maybe being frustrated about the fact that she didn't win the reward challenge, but she shouldn't come up on the five or somebody and blow up on 'em for no apparent reason. Especially me, cause she's gonna lose and the funny thing is they have a learning curve, cause if I argue back, I'm probably gonna win. Especially in that aspect, because she's just been completely out of bounds and completely wrong in blaming it on me. She really came to me and said I was the reason why they didn't win, it's all my fault. That's amazing. That's why she has not won anything. It's never her fault. She never takes accountance for what she's done or how she's messed up. There's always somebody, so they have to get rid of 'em. Maybe she's the problem. She's never won anything...they've won one. Maybe that's a sign. Not everybody's crazy. You're the crazy one."
(cut)
"Peih-Gee is the simple reason why they did not won anything and why being with her you're not gonna win. She sets a bad aura, she has a bad losing aura about herself. She's quick to blame everybody but herself. It was always somebody's fault, somebody did this. She walked up to me and said I dropped the ball too much and I wasn't hustling enough and I pretty much ruined the whole game for her."
(cut)
"We just did not have the right plan this time. It's no big deal. Everybody tried hard, everybody did their best. She tried to flip it on me saying that winning's the only option and that's the only way I see it. I said no, focusing and trying your best's the only option. You don't have to win every time, as long as you focus and do your best, that's good. If you go and say, 'I wasn't focused,' you wasn't focused. You admitted it to yourself. I threw a match, you threw a match. You didn't do your best. That's my problem. When I got on her, she was trying to do the same to me. She couldn't do that. It wasn't...I did my best in the position I was given with the plan we had made. That was all that could have been asked, for all of us to play our positions and do our part and follow through with the rest. The circumstance is behind us now. What I need to do is make sure Denise is all right, talk to Todd, have the five focus together, and get rid of 'em. They've gained some arrogance about themselves that needs to be stomped out. These guys are getting a little bit stronger with all this eating. They even got the nerve to tell me something about my eating, when I got up this morning and I went up and I got the fish and I cleaned the fish and I cooked the fish. Don't tell me nothing. I really don't care. Eat faster, shut up, or starve. You can pout all you want, but I'm not gonna stop eating. You can't stop me, and you're not gonna send me home for a while. The chances of me still being here and ya'll not being here are highly greater. Don't start with me because I have the big joker and the little joker and nobody can take 'em from me. I'm gonna be here for a while, so you might as well go on and get comfortable.
Tribal Council
What did the tribe have to say as they voted out Frosti?
Todd (Frosti with a sad face, and the "i" might have been made into a snowman): This is the hardest vote I've had to do so far. Sorry, but you're tough, gotta go.
Denise (Frosti with the "i" dotted with a heart): Frosti, you're a great kid, you're gonna be a huge success someday. I wish you good luck.
Frosti ("Eric"): One of us will be eating cheeseburgers before the other; neither of us deserved it. Sorry, man.
James (Frosti): I mean...you're good.
Peih-Gee (Frosti with a sad face): I'm sorry. It's purely strategic.
Erik (Frosti with a sad face): It's you or me tonight, bro. Nothing personal.
Courtney (Frosti with a sad face): I'm really sorry, Frosti. The curse has hit you. That's what you get for being friends with me. I hope you don't hate me, and we can hang out and eat mustard in Chicago. Don't hate me. (something I can't hear) I'm a jerk. (?)
Amanda (Frosti): I think you're an amazing person, but you're just too big of a threat. Majority decision. Sorry. I hope we can be friends later. Bye.
Frosti, the Day After
"I know that in the past there's been some people they voted off and were like, 'Man, I'm so happy he's gone!' Then other people they're like, 'Man, that sucked that we voted him off,' and I was thinking to myself, 'I wonder which one of those people I'm gonna be.' There's nothing I can do at that point, I'm walking up, he's gonna snuff me. Was I one of the people they were sad to vote off but they knew they had to because I was a threat, or was I one of those people they were ecstatic to get rid of cause they didn't want me there and everything had been a lie. You just gotta think, were all those relationships real and they didn't really want this, or did all of them hate me? I was thinking about what they were going to be laying around and talking about that night, because it was the first time I wasn't going to be a part of that conversation."
(cut)
"The hardest part of this game for me was I'm working as hard as I can to build trust with people, to get people not only to like me but believe everything I'm saying, but you have to come to terms with the fact that out there no one is gonna believe everything you say 100%. Any relationship you form, as close as you get to another person, and I felt like I was really close to some people, they're never gonna trust you 100%. For me, the hardest part was knowing I could never trust them 100% either. No matter how close to them I felt. I've really become used to in my life finding bonds I could rely on, friends I could trust with anything, and out there, you cannot do that at any point. It's very tiring, it's very stressful, it builds a paranoia in everything you do because there is no safe place. There's no rest point, even when you're just hanging out trying to get some sleep on the uncomfortable bamboo bed, even when you're talking about something that has nothing to do with the game, you know that everyone is listening and analyzing and trying to figure something out. There's really no time to feel safe."

"I was truly attracted to Courtney. I really liked her. She's the kind of girl that back home I would have been crazy about. It was really interesting because out here I was even closer to her than I would have been if I had met her in her restaurant in New York. I probably wouldn't have gotten the time of day from her. To be with Courtney out here with no makeup and she couldn't shave and she had to sit out in the rain and hated it, I felt really close to her. I know at least for me I really cared about her and wanted to help her. I know she screwed me over and voted for me and told me she would tell me if anything was going to happen and didn't, I just can't find it in myself to really be that mad. I can't hold that grudge against her. I was a little hurt by all that, but at the same time I knew she probably wasn't going to feel anything like that for me. She's 26, she's a model that dates other models in New York. I wasn't really ever worried about that. That wasn't my goal. It was to find somebody I could be close to and trust, because it's so important to try and find someone you think you can trust out there, at least the best of your ability, and try to hold onto some semblance of sanity. I guess I just trusted her a little bit too much and ended up out here by myself. It's alright. I guess there's a little bit of romantic in me that couldn't hold it against her."
(cut)
"Everybody always talks about the mind over matter thing. I was always like, I can deal with anything, I can be cool, I can be chill in any situation. I said I could do those things, and then I came out here and I really had to do them. I really had to find a way to get a positive attitude when I was tired, and starving, and sick, and had to go to a challenge. I really had to be cool when people were yelling and screaming and guys were crying about rice spilling and our lives were shattering around us. I really had to find my own inner harmony every day because there's so much strategy and struggle and scheming and backstabbing going on. I really had to do all the things I said I would do, and one of my biggest struggles in life is to finish the goals I set for myself. The journeys I start. I think it's summed up best in the Confucius quote from the puzzle we did. The journey of a thousand miles begins a single step. Coming out here was the first step on that journey. I feel like I haven't completed it yet, but I've gotten a lot farther than I thought I could. It's a great beginning for me. I don't want this to be the end for me. I want to have even more of this journey. I think this has been a really big step for me, and it's helped me on my own path in life."
Secret Scene: Frosti
Frosti: The dynamics of this group are really different than a usual Survivor game. Like, it's not normal. (Peih-Gee laughs) I'm trying to do my best to find my place cause I kind of mix with everyone.
Peih-Gee: No, I know that.
Frosti: That's the only way I could do things, that's how things work.
Peih-Gee: And that's the only way I knew, because obviously I don't have a ton of friends here. I can't play the game that way. It's crazy, because I never thought I'd be in a position where I feel like I have to vote for you tonight. I hate that, I really do. You're like my little brother, dude.
Frosti: You're like my mom. That's weird.
Peih-Gee: I know. I just felt like I had to tell you that.
Frosti (solo): I do feel really close to Peih-Gee, because she is my family and we have a lot in common. But everyone out here understands at some point or another, someone's name has to go on that list, and it may be family.
Find out what a gracious Frosti has to say soon after having his torch extinguished.
"My whole goal out here besides winning was to play the best and as straightforward as I could, not have to really backstab people. I don't really think I did. There was a few people I didn't tell the whole truth to, some people did get a little deceived, but I did what I think I had to do to get as far as I did without hurting too many people. Nobody who got voted off was really surprised by what I did. everybody understood what I was doing. I don't really have any regrets except being voted off."
(cut)
"There was nothing I could really do about it. I talked to everybody, did my thing. I expected some people to kind of backstab and throw it back but I didn't expect it right now. I thought we had a good plan going and it was going to last at least a few more rounds. I just (laugh) I keep thinking about my friends who are going to be laughing at me when they see I got beat by the tiny flight attendant, the sassy New York waitress, and the lady with the mullet, but I know I did my best. I just can't believe this is the way it worked out, but I had a great experience out here. I don't think I deserved to go home tonight but I think a lot of people go before it should be their time because people are scared, people are paranoid, they feel threatened, and some people just get really lucky. James is a huge threat, but he got all those idols. He's set. Lots of people have found their own way to get in. I guess I just didn't find the right place, didn't get the right time, didn't get the luck. I'm chill, I'll be alright."
(cut)
"I'm not completely blown away. I've known that I was a threat for a long time. A lot of people told me that. I guess I should've gone home a long time ago but I also know I did the best I could to stay here."
(cut)
"I tried to keep a positive attitude and do everything I could. Apparently that was all in vain. I didn't even get the cheeseburger or have any mustard, but I'll get plenty of that later."
(cut)
"Honestly, back in Chicago I'm a pretty cynical guy. I'm pretty negative and I look at a lot of the downside of things. Since I've been out here I've really forced myself to look at the positive, try and find a good balance in things. Really working that whole mind over matter, things are as good as you can take it, do your best. I really took to it. Hopefully that stays with me once I head back home."
(cut)
"When I came out here I wanted to prove somebody who's younger, smaller, less experience in life can come out here and do the same job anyone else can do. By getting this far in the game, I have proved that. Not only to everybody in the world, but myself. I am capable of doing anything. There are obstacles but I overcame a lot of them. It wasn't easy, but as long as you're willing to adapt and face all these things that come forward, you can really do what yo need to do. The only thing I can't believe is after 27 days I still only got eighth place. That's like barely over half. My God. But hey, 27 days is still a long time, only 12 days left. That's still pretty good."

Frosti, the Day After
For being the youngest Survivor ever, he certainly handled himself well after being voted out of the game. Watch as Frosti discusses the way he played the
game.
"I know that in the past there's been some people they voted off and were like, 'Man, I'm so happy he's gone!'
