I couldn’t wait to come back and be that looney tune."
ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY: This is the earliest you’ve ever left a game.

How are you feeling about your elimination now?
DERRICK KOSINSKI:It was kind of like a different look for Derrick, I guess.
I had never been targeted like this by so many people I thought were friends all at one time.

I didn’t think they were going to do it.
I thought it was going to be the coolest thing ever when I came back.
I finally have some enemies and some frenemies that I can go after.
So you didn’t take a stab at sway any votes?
I thought it was good.
But if you do it, don’t be mad when I come after every single one of you.
And that goes not just for this season because I didn’t come back.
[Laughs]All Starsis doing pretty well.
There was a lot involved in the ambush, I understood it.
But I was ready for it.
I was ready to be a one-man wrecking crew when I came back.
So now going forward you’ll see that the house has become completely divided because they drew the line.
What did you think of how you had to against your ally Brad?
There’s the pros and cons to this.
No matter who comes out on top, you lost a good competitor.
Going against Brad, if you lose you’re losing to one of the all time greats.
Losing to him is nothing that I’d be upset about.
We’ve both taken hard losses.
We’re playing for $250,000, why does it have to come down to a puzzle?
Let us fight for it.
And don’t get me wrong, 1,000 pounds of sandbags was definitely fighting for it.
I just don’t think we needed the puzzle.
But the running with the sandbags was neck-and-neck.
So look, it’s the little wins and I thought that I had him on that.
But he smoked the puzzle.
And my board had a little nick in it to make things less smooth on the movement.
You don’t have the best track record with puzzles in the past…
Puzzles aren’t my favorite.
Regardless, I was so dead set in believing that I was coming back from this thing.
I was going to beat bionic Brad and his the beard.
The question is, should I have politicked more?
Should I have kissed more ass?
Should I have begged for their mercy?
Tried to flip some votes?
But I wanted to see where my so-called friends stood.
It just didn’t go my way.
I left with two middle fingers in the air and a smile on my face.
What wasn’t shown is how hard I was coming at Steve.
I gave you a little bit of what you wanted.
But I was just so stubborn.
I was like, “I don’t give a f—.”
If they vote me in, fine.
I’ll come back and we’re going to have fun with target practice.
Let’s back up to your beef with Nehemiah.
How did that all start?
I think it started by me not voting to save Nehemiah in season 1.
I voted to save Yes.
Instead, I gave him Steve and Derek.
I felt like this was an olive branch, a way to give him something.
And he took it as like, “Damn, you didn’t give me s—.”
I guess that struck a nerve and he was the ringleader of this whole thing.
But I’ve got to do my own investigation.
Yeah, Casey had a big moment calling you out in the nominations.
They put Kendal up there because they knew she’d be a vote my way.
Some call it strategic but the way I see it is like grimy.
It felt like an ex-girlfriend who slashed my tires.
It’s like when theNight’s Watch stabbed Jon Snow.
I won’t forget about it.
Now I got a reason to play the game in a more cutthroat way.
I’m not dead.
I’ll see them on a future season and I’ll have fun then.
Do you regret starting things with him knowing how it ended for you?
Shout out to Chubbies and all their outfits.
It was just like icing on the cake.
Going forward, if I see Steve on aChallengeit’s going to be interesting.
He could have tried to work with me and now he’s got a pissed off Tasmanian devil.
It’s already done, it’s already written.
If we were in Chubbies matching outfits, I don’t think we could ever hide our alliance.
I could see it now, “Hey, can I borrow that one?
I don’t have that one!”
I found myself rooting for Logan.
That would be a fun matchup.
The guy’s got gas for days.
It’d be interesting to see how that vampire would fare against the Tasmanian devil.
And Emy’s the one that I really have been rooting for.
I’m curious to see if she’ll tie the record for five elimination wins in one season.
As far as rookies go, she’s been a big hit.
What do you think it’s going to take for you to finally get that fourth win?
I will be back.
I know who my targets are.
The war will continue, this is just the beginning.
I think the magic season is only only a season or two away.
I do truly feel in my heart that it’s going to happen.
Get ready for next season!
