Final Words

“	I’ve been watching Survivor for fifteen years. I still love it just as much as I did day one. I didn’t quit, didn’t give up. Even being sent out, on my own, I still tried to get in there and fight the good fight. I’m proud of the way I played. I’m proud of the game I played, and I think my family will be, too. Love you, girls. (blows kiss)	”
—Kyle Jason
