Chef forced him into the alliance and the fact that he felt regret and owned up to it despite having a huge advantage over everyone else speaks volumes for his character. I can't think of any other character in the original cast (besides maybe Bridgette) who would willingly throw away a great chance at winning a million dollars just because it is too underhanded of them.

You are kind of over-exaggerating by saying he got most of his team eliminated. That wasn't exactly his fault, and most of his team were actually eliminated because of Alejandro, which is unrelated to the curse.

He regretted all those times the animals were injured, and had voted for himself in a few of the elimination ceremonies. In fact he even tried to sabotage himself when it was down to him and Lindsay to ensure he would be eliminated. How is that not owning up to it?
