“It was emotional for everyone. But it was really special because we were able to close the chapter with almost all parts of the family and almost everyone who had been on the show for several seasons. We had to do landing the plane together, having our great feelings together and saying goodbye to this thing that changed all of our lives was the perfect way to end.
