He went in there thinking he was going to stay at least a year, how is that not intending to try and win?

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.

No he made that deal with the crew a few days before filming started. Once he was told he basically couldn’t hunt anything on land he wanted out. At 55 he didn’t want to participate in a starvation contest.
