Yeah really felt for him in the DR. He had a late night convo with Dales that ( not shown on HL ), which I think helped him. They were mainly talking about going up for eviction with the whole house and how it would be good if they survived it, but then it would be good to go the following week if they were up again.
He's really level-headed which the group needs, and along with Rex and Lisa, and even Dale to a degree, I think they'll keep the group spirited and make decisions that the group will know are right for them when the time's right.
He also keeps the group motivated and encourages them in the tasks, whether it's been for the Hell HM's or the Heaven HM's, the baguette eating being an example.
I'd like to see him stay for the final, but I think he'll be just as happy to stay a couple more weeks and then go, so he can see his daughter.
