"When I first came over the hill, I actually, I knew it was Corinne when I saw her. I could pick her out of a crowd, just the way she looks and walks. But she's so skinny now. It's weird. She's always in good shape, but she looks and smells horrible. It was real exciting to see her, finally. I haven't seen her in so long."

"We don't get too mushy around each other, but she was real emotional. She's been isolated here for so long. When she saw me she kind of broke down. I guess I'm not in the same condition as her. I wasn't as in shock or freaked out, but it was definitely crazy to see her like that."
(cut)
"I'm in shock to see her this far into the game. I know she's tough, and she's like a fighter I guess, but the fact that she's been here for so long and she's still here and I'm actually here now, it's just crazy. I never thought it would happen. I always hoped I would be able to come out and see her, she'd win it, she'd get real far, but I'm actually really proud of her. I'm surprised. She's not very outdoorsy. This isn't her thing. She's very fish out of water. I know there's some other people, this is what they do, they camp out and whatever. Seeing her do this and survive, and kind of excelling at it, I'm actually impressed. I'm real proud of her."
Meet Todd - Susie's Husband

"This is the experience of a lifetime. I can't imagine what they're going through just living in the conditions they have. It's crazy, it's absolutely crazy. I'm having a great time. I don't imagine they're having a great time."
(cut)
"I walk out, first one in line to come across the hill. I knew something was up but I didn't know what we were doing, didn't have a clue. Then when I see them, my heart -- luckily my cholersterol's good or I'd have dropped dead of a heart attack. My heart was just pounding. Then you get overrun with emotion. I miss her so much. I love her so much. I just...(begins to cry) I'm sorry."
(cut)
"It's just so cool seeing her, knowing she's still here in the game. I underestimated her, cause I think, no way you're gonna, hell we can't go camping without her doing something. For her to be here this long, I underestimated her. I kick myself in the ass for underestimating her."

"Maybe a week or two weeks at the most we've ever been apart. Even then, if I go someplace, hunting or something like that, I can call home, or I'm only a drive away. If I had to get in a vehicle and drive maybe 12 hours, 14 hours to get home, I can be there in a short period of time. Now having no contact with her, no phone, no letters, no nothing, that's tough. Me and my son, it's been a long time. It's tough on a guy."

"I'm very proud of her. I love her to death."

"It was a total shock. I can't really remember much. Completely numb, just very excited to see him. So excited to see him. It's been a very long time. I didn't recognize him."
(cut)
"I've never seen him with facial hair. He's never had facial hair in 30 years. He's never seen it himself. I asked if he could see himself in a mirror, and he said no. I didn't recognize him at all."
(cut)
"I just thought we were gonna go on a canoe ride or he was gonna try to get me to jump in which I was really excited about yet I don't want to see any snakes in the water or have any leeches on me, like Matty said he's got covered in leeches. I saw alligators, or crocodiles, or whatever. When he actually got down on his knee, it was all over. My heart was pounding so fast. I couldn't even cry I was so numb. I thought I'd be bawling because I'd been so emotional this whole time, but at that moment I couldn't even cry."
(cut)
"So worth the trip. Every moment of it. Every hour on three different planes and four different hotel rooms. It's worth it all just to see my man."
Crystal's Boyfriend
Crystal's boyfriend Andre describes his visit to Gabon and the harsh living conditions of the Nobag Tribe
"My name is Andre, and I'm Crystal's boyfriend."
(cut)
"Well, hugging Crystal was actually a relief. Not seeing her and talking with her for quite a while now, being able to hold her in my arms and letting her know hey I'm so glad to see you and know you're well physically and in good spirits. It was really nice seeing her, holding her close."
(cut)
"I'm very proud of Crystal as far as how far she is into the game. I call her my little paratrooper. I never would have imagined her being this far. I'm really surprised and am proud of her. It's amazing how much she's done to come this far and what she's gone to for sure to be this far in the game."
(cut)
"I've given her an update on what's going on at home and how things are going at work, and with little Destini, her daughter. Little update on that, how things are there. She's without food for so many days, without shower or bath. It's like, 'OK, just don't try to kiss me right now.' But it's been wonderful knowing, seeing she's doing well."
