Michele Fitzgerald in her seasons’ premiere and penultimate episodes
It’s insane that I’ve been here a month. And it seems like ages ago that I got here. However… crazy as it sounds, it’s kind of gone by quickly, too. I mean… as much as I hate this place, I’m sort of gonna miss it. It’s not really the people. It’s just, um… I’m gonna miss this amazing view. You know, it’s beautiful out here. It’s peaceful. Even though my husband is here-- thank God he’s here-- it’s forced me to slow down, take a break. I don’t do that at home. I never sit around. I’m just go, go, go. So, it’s… it’s a weird way to force yourself to sit down and just think about life and… what matters most and what you miss. Because what I miss about home are my kids. But I think what I’m gonna miss about here is the simplicity of it all. You know, we don’t have any distractions or-- there’s nothing here. It’s simple. But that’s the blessing. You don’t get to do that at home.
It took me a long time to get over being voted out first and feeling that worthlessness. I feel like I’ve been grinding slowly and quietly for so long, but all this hard work is worth it. It’s not one day’s work. This is 32 days of being on Extinction, keeping my head in the game, never giving up here, and fighting for everything I have. I feel like I’ve proved myself out here, and I fully feel like I deserve one of the spots to be fighting for that winner’s title, and a shot at being the best of the best.

SURVIVOR: Winners at War S40E13 The Penultimate Step of the War — “This is the penultimate step of the war. This is right before we take off, and it’s gonna get really, really ugly.”
This is the end of the war. I’m gonna win this game by having an alliance and keeping everybody safe, and when the gun smoke settles, hopefully I’m sitting there with a couple of more rounds in my pocket, not one in my chest.
