'[You] rolling around going "oh, if I did that." I've talked to some of the other Champions who say the same thing — the game really overtakes you.'
Despite his early exit due to the alliance, he said he would have stuck to his original game plan if he had his time over again.
He added he believed that a Champion would still be the eventual winner of the show, and would be tuning in to see the outcome.

Sunday night's episode saw an emotional tribal council, with the Champions alliance giving Andrew his marching orders.
Andrew was clearly trying to fight for a place in the competition, as The Champions tribe headed into tribal council for the fifth time.
'If I look over all the challenges we've had, you know I haven't let the team down. I've always given my all. I've always supported the team incredibly,' he pleaded.

He continued: 'I haven't been lying to any of these people at all. They know they can rely on me. They know I can contribute.'
The intensity became all too much for AFLW star Abbey Holmes, 28, who broke down in tears at the choice before her.
Andrew got the maximum needed of five votes, before he was asked to leave tribal council with his flame extinguished by host Jonathan LaPagli.
