The Heisman Trophy winner helped his wife prepare for the physically grueling competition, buthe couldn't prepare her for the toughest challenge of all, loneliness, 10TV's Andrea Cambernreported.
"I know she can hold her own when it comes to anybody," Eddie George told 10TV's Cambern in anexclusive interview at the family's Tennessee home. "I just know in her quiet moments, her missingus would be difficult."
That was apparent on the show when the rest of the tribe sacrificed so that Taj could see avideo from home. The video brought her to tears.
Eddie was allowed to visit Taj on the exile island. The two were given some private timetogether.
"She's dirty now, she smells filthy, but there's something about the wild that makes you sexy,"Eddie said during the episode.
Eddie gave Taj words of encouragement, and he had plenty of pride over what his wife hadaccomplished on the show. But what were the most meaningful words of all?
"He told me I was beautiful," Taj said. "I said, 'I know you're lying, but I love you for it.'"
Season 18 of Survivor airs Thursday nights at 8 p.m. on 10TV.
