Yau-Man first appeared on Survivor: Fiji, where he finished fourth and was the last person to be eliminated. When the staff of the reality series called him and asked him to return for the sixteenth season, he immediately said yes. He was excited to play for the second time.

But on the current season, Yau-Man became target on the third episode after the Favorites lost the immunity challenge. He was voted out because his intelligence was a threat for others. But despite this, Yau-Man claims he has no bad feelings as he expected things like that are meant to happen on the show. ?I wish it had ended a little bit differently, but on the other hand I played it hard. There's a cruelty, I knew it going in and I was prepared for it,? he explained.

While in Micronesia , he gained close friends like Jonathan and Ami. He says that he got along well with Jonathan because they can relate to each other. ?He's married with kids like me. We have a lot in common,? he shared. With Amy, he discovered the real person behind the glare of the cameras. ?She turned out to be very nice, certainly a very different persona than we see on TV in the Vanuatu season.?

He also shared that Cirie's character surprised him. ?I kind of completely missed out on Cirie and how much of a power player she can be? I didn't realize that she has such a power of persuasion to get her way when she put her mind to it.?

At the end of the interview, Yau-Man thanked his supporters and even apologized for being eliminated. ?I would like to thank my fans, and I'm sorry that I disappointed them this season. I really thought I could go much further, but thank you for cheering me on when I was still on.?
