“Survivor 43” contestant Geo Bustamante has decided that he doesn’t want to have any regrets in the game. The 36-year-old project manager from Honolulu’s strategy is to “play the game hard” and to “play the game until somebody tells [him], ‘Listen, you’re playing too hard.’” Watch his full CBS interview below.
Geo goes on to explain that with this strategy he rather have to “tone it down a little bit than not do enough” which could send him home from the game having regrets. He says he’s watching for 10 years and “seeing people like me on ‘Survivor’ that were doing such a good job has given me that strength” that told him if he wants to be on the show then he should just go for it.
