– We usually separate the tribes after the race, but everyone saw the strong emotions. It was difficult for Eva. He was close with his former tribemate. I thought it was appropriate to suggest a hug and everyone accepted it, Probst reviews the situation afterwards.

After this, Eva explains the reason for her emotional upheaval to the other contestants. Eva is on the autism spectrum and Joe was the only other contestant who knew about it. The disorder of the neuro spectrum sometimes causes overwhelming emotional reactions in Eva. During the scene, Eva loses her self-control.
– We are on different teams, but he wanted to make sure I was healthy, Eva thanks Joe.
Joe justifies his actions by saying that he wants to set a good example for his children and act correctly despite the competitive situation.
