reality blurred + Matty: “Gabon humbled me immensely”

Matty Whitmore
When I ranked the cast on likability, I wrote that “I wouldn’t be at all surprised to see my list flip entirely.” That happened more for Matty Whitmore than anyone else. Initially, he called himself “an honest asshole” and “a fool,” but starting with the first challenge, proved himself to be quite different.
At the finale, I asked him what changed since his own description of himself wasn’t accurate, and he said, “Going into the game, I probably had a little bit of arrogance to me, I probably had a little cockiness, because I’ve never really been tested, I’ve never been pushed. Being pushed and being tested in Gabon definitely alters your thinking and perception of the world, and plain and simple, just humbles you. Going into the game, I was a little more confident and arrogant, and Gabon humbled me immensely.”
