Secret Scene: Jay
"I had a blast."
Jay is frustrated with Kat being a rice Nazi.
<Christina and Alicia are in the ocean; various other people are sitting in the shelter as Kat watches the rice>
Female: Is it ready?
<Kat puts rice in a small coconut shell and hands it over>
Kat (solo): Everybody has their role they wanna play. I've been feeding these people since day 1. I make the best rice here.
Jay: Make sure we have even scoops.
Christina: I think everybody can probably have one more scoop.
Kat: You don't think I know that? I always give you guys an extra scoop, I just have to give the first round first.
Jay (solo): Watching Kat cook, she protects that pot. She's definitely a rice Nazi. She doesn't want anyone else to touch it, to season it. She thinks she's the queen chef. I'm pretty sure Kat's cooking the rice just so she can have more than anybody.
<Kat mutters about cleaning out the rest of the pot>
Jay: Give it to them.
Kat: Why? They got just as much as everybody else did. Because it's all even. Everybody's even. I'll eat extra. (Kat cleans out the pot and eats the rest)
Jay (solo): It's tough to see her scoop out more for herself than anybody else, but what can I say? I'm trying to play the game the best I can. You just have to bite your tongue, not cause any drama. I don't want her pissed off at me for calling her out.
A Threat You Can Trust
Jay hopes his alliance trusts him, even though he is seen as a threat.
"Today's challenge, we had the little ordeal where we had this little chain hooked to a bucket of water, and we couldn't lower our arm down. I really wasn't anticipating doing too well into it; I've broken a few bones on this (right) side, my collarbone, my wrist, and they've given me a lot of troubles. I definitely wanted to hold out until food came out. That was my only objective. I wasn't worried about winning, I just wanted some good food out of it."

"I think I could have got to the end with Chelsea for immunity. I was feeling comfortable up there. At the same time, I think my alliance is strong and solid enough to stick with their vote. I was just looking to get some goods."
(cut)
"Tonight, we really are gonna vote Alicia out. That's what I told Alicia today in the challenge, if she took my food I'm gonna vote her out. There's a little bit of truth to that at the moment, so that's what we're gonna stick with."

"I'm not really worried about them doing anything to me. If it happens, it happens, but..."
(cut)
"I trust my two girls, which are Kim and Chelsea."
(cut)
"If anything went crazy, I still think Alicia's going home, regardless."
(cut)
"I am a big threat, but at the same time, I'm a big threat that can be trusted with two people that want to go to the end. If you don't wanna go to the end with me, you better take me out soon, because right now, I'm in a very strong alliance, and we're putting people on the chopping block and it's working."

"I do feel safe, but again, this is Survivor, anything can happen. We'll see if my chicken wings were worth a million bucks tonight."
Jay The Day After
Jay reflects on his time in the game the day after he is voted out of Survivor: One World
"I had a blast."
(cut)
"Looking back, you would make a few changes. Like at the end, when I stepped down for chicken wings, thinking I was safe, and I ended up going home that night. I was really surprised and shocked, just how much you learn about yourself, and other people, and life in general, in just 25 short days. It was a blessing the whole way through."
(cut)
"I thought about home a lot during the game. My relationships with people - friends, family. Where I want to go after this. It made me think wow, I take too much for granted. I've been to four other countries before this, so I knew how to do without the material side, but it's the first time I'd been away from home that long, so it made me appreciate family and friends a lot more. It made me realize I'm on the go a whole lot at home, and I need to stop and soak in the small moments a lot more."
(cut)
"I do believe it's changed me. Just thinking about going home and sitting with my grandparents for a longer period of time, or spending more time with my nephews out in the yard. Little things like that. I definitely want to invest myself more in my family than I have been. It makes you a stronger person, because you realized you can do just as much on an island with no food, no resources, versus having everything at your fingertips. I think it makes you a smarter individual. You learn to improvise more. Your mind's always racing out there. Overall I think you walk away much stronger, much smarter, and you have more of a positive outlook on life. You want to hit the ground running more when you get home."
(cut)
"I'm hoping they think I tried to play a nice, honest game, but also that I was a lot more conniving than they thought. I hope I made them proud that I didn't make a fool of myself too often. I'm hoping they saw I was a strong competitor. I'm not sure how they're gonna see me stepping down for food - I'm not sure anybody thought I would ever step down for food. You sit on the couch and watch and think, 'You're stepping down for a piece of bread? What an idiot.' Overall I hope I represented my family well, my city well. We'll just have to wait and see what they think."
(cut)
"Everybody always judges that you're a fool when you step down for food. #1, it really is, if you can, if you think you're safe, it's extremely important to step down and take that food, because that's what's gonna get you through the next couple of days. They also don't realize how many alliances you've made, what's going on, strategically, in the game. When I stepped down, the only reason I did is because the person I thought was going home had already stepped down, so I knew she wasn't gonna win immunity. I really trusted in my alliance at the time. Also, I didn't know Troy was going to play an idol at the time. There's so many factors I don't think the audience really realizes how quickly it changes. That night, before Tribal, everything got shifted, the last 10 minutes, before leaving for Tribal. It looks like maybe not the smartest decision, but at the time it was the wisest decision for me, so...that's the game for you. You never know what can happen."

"I am proud of the way I played. I didn't really know if I was gonna come in and tell a million lies, a few lies, or just try to get around the truth. For the most part, I did. I tried to get around the truth without telling too many lies. More importantly, I had fun. That was the biggest thing for me. Come out here, have fun, get as far as I could. I wouldn't change a thing."
(cut)
"Dealing with all the personalities was 10 times harder than going without food. I'm not a suck-up. If I don't like somebody, it's pretty easily shown. The biggest part for me was when somebody said something I disagreed with, or I thought was stupid, or whatever, you have to bite your tongue and keep going on with a smile. Putting up with that type of drama and still being <air quote> friends </air quote> with those people at the time..."
(cut)
"That's way harder than going without food."
(cut)
"The whole experience was just from day 1, realizing you're gonna be on your own in the middle of nowhere, with a bunch of knuckleheads you've never met before..."
(cut)
"The whole thing, it opens you up to people, it opens you up to relationships, just the way you think about life, how you really embrace people. It really taught me overall just to I guess have more of an open mind towards everybody."
(cut)
"I'm the type of person who tries to live life to the fullest every day, but this right here makes you appreciate it and see how much more you really can live each day, and take advantage of the life you've been given. It definitely makes me appreciate family, food more, just life in general."
