The Daniels spoke to #StopEveything! when #EEAO was released and it was such an excellent and warm-hearted chat. The guys I see on the biggest Hollywood stage today are the same guys who zoomed with us!

Honestly, Quan’s trajectory is the Halley’s Comet of comeback stories.
Love that he gets to spend the rest of his professional life acting in the best roles, after so many years in the wilderness.

Good luck to the remaining players, all genuine heroes in their own way. You know, even though nearly ALL of them have attempted to MURDER me. ⚰️😅
Personally, I have my money on [REDACTED]!
For now though, this mince meat is cooked.

Not bad for a newbie. Also, the whole experience was REALLY funny. Some unhinged stuff happens out there that never makes it to screen.
And I've hilarious stories with these new friends/frenemies that’ll last this comedy writer a lifetime.
What more could you want? #SurvivorAU

Proud to have come … [checks notes] … 14TH in #SurvivorAU Heroes v Villains! 😂💀🫠
From the start, I wanted my game to encompass it all: heroic & villainous, triumphant & demoralising, ego-boosting & embarrassing AF.
It was ALL of that. "Grateful" doesn't begin to cut it.

For what it’s worth, there were plenty of unseen chats out there about uniting the minority. But when it clearly wasn’t happening … you do what you have to 🫶

Shout out to Australia's Deaf community – especially Paige's mum, and my cousin Evon who taught me how to finger spell as a kid.
Pretty proud to bring Auslan to #SurvivorAU in such an epic way.

Shout out to the taxi driver who asked if I had a wife, was aghast when I said I was gay, asked "So your BOYFRIEND is wife?" and after a LONG heartwarming but tedious chat decided I was "good boy" and "being good is all that matters" anyway if any of his kids come out they owe me
