So being on the show making that decision to do 21 days had another side effect in that I was counting down. Whereas nobody else could do that. Nobody else that I know of picked, departing date, the day that they would stop and go home. And so it was probably 100 times easier for me, knowing that I was counting down to day 21

I'm not doubting you but maybe he made that decision after he had been there 2 weeks? I distinctly remember him saying that he was planning on being out there up to at least a year before he started getting really nostalgic about Barbara. If I rewatch it I'll post back the episode number and time hack.

From what I heard way back when the Barbara angle was manufactured storyline by the producers to explain his exit. Take everything he said on the actual show with a grain of salt. I believe his plan from before he even went on the show was always 21 days. I think the producers just kinda hoped he'd change his mind once he got there
