The Cookie Monster’s departure came about at the hands of an alliance that bonded over a secret stash of choc-chip biscuits – ironically the very same treat that helped Jeri take out the crown in 2017.
“I reckon that the Cookie legacy continued in the most poetic way,” Jericho told 10 Daily after his elimination.
“The first time I played, I was hiding this jar of cookies from the whole tribe and this time around, the majority of the tribe were hiding it from the Cookie Monster himself,” he added.
After Phoebe and Locky paid a visit to the ‘Survivor’ store, they secretly stashed the sweet treats and shared them with Dave, Flick, Brooke, Locky and Daisy – unbeknownst to Jeri, Tarzan, Mat, Moana and Jacqui.
“Literally there was a group of seven that naturally came together like a clique and through that, I was left with the leftovers — the older people who didn’t fit in with that social group.”
Despite being knocked out of the competition so early on, Jeri says he has no regrets about returning to Survivor.
“There is one thing that I’m grateful for — and that’s that I can fall back on the first season that I played.”
“I know that most people are really banking on a win this time to make sure that they re-write their own story that was cut short for them — for myself, however, I was coming in with a different perspective.”
