Had Colton stayed in the coterie of five, the game we would have ended up with would have been very boring. I needed him! I guess the production staff realised that if Colton went, it would be six to six and the game would start anew. If I had just been able to examine him, I might have been clever enough to say, 'We gotta give you a lot of water'. I'm a surgeon of 30-some years, a surgeon and plastic surgeon.
He hadn't eaten well or pooped much - on an island like that, it's most likely not from parasites or Crohn's disease but most likely proliferation of bacteria held in gas, which will spread to the spleen or other flesh, causing some significant pain. "I didn't get to examine him but he was dehydrated. He listened to me, he wasn't threatened and he joined us. I had a six-inch laceration down to the tibia on my left leg that took 20 days to heal and I don't think anyone knows that! Anyway, I made Colton feel way better and told him, 'Listen, you can run reconnaissance on the girls and you can enter the coterie of the five of us, it helps us against the girls', which at that point in time, I believed I knew what that was. Being a doctor, I tend to - I helped a couple of people with physical ailments during this thing when I was asked to and no-one else was around. The females didn't like him and the males hated him but I felt sorry for him. I also made sure not to take myself too seriously and also convinced the tribe that I'm really not as smart as I might be."ĭid Colton's early exit negatively affect your game? To defend myself well enough to be understood would have caused anger amongst those who were trying to denigrate me, so it was in my best interest to let them do so. "There were a few denigrating moments with regard to being accused of poopy panties and things of that sort which, if you knew the whole story, was really unfair. I was a water boy - I got the water and boiled it to make sure it wasn't parasitic. When people wanted to know what I was doing carving on a piece of bamboo all day, that's what I was doing, making a comb. I combed Sabrina's hair, Jay's hair, even my own hair, but got no credit for making the comb. My little chicken trap caught six chickens. The friends I have know me really well and of course, their response is going to be sincerely highly positive, but I understand that they have to edit the show and do a number of things. I've measured my friends all my life very carefully. What has the reaction been to your appearance on the show? If I wanted a chance of seeing my wife on the sands of that island, I had to ingratiate myself to the girls and be scatter-brained, so that's what I did." When I was betrayed by the boys and couldn't get them together, I had to go back to Alicia and say, if I can't promise you a coterie of guys - which is the only way that could be efficacious for her - I'm going to ingratiate myself to you because it's the only way I could stay. If we went down to the top five, it would have been a good shot for her. We promised - and I felt like you should keep your word unless you're betrayed.
I told Alicia that if I could get the guys back together and her, it would be seven against five. Their compass had been lost, probably because of pheromonal influences of the females. They weren't playing the game very well at that point. They were wishy-washy and you had to keep reminding them and they'd forget, which was scary.
"With regard to what you have to do to strategise in a chess game, Leif and Jonas didn't play very well. I already knew that Jay and Mike weren't solid. He was wavering with the Salani girls and he wasn't solid anymore, which I didn't expect. But when we united to the Tikiano tribe, I realised that I no longer had Troyzan for certain. When I was with the guys, I could keep them together and I even changed Alicia so she would vote out Monica. Colton was our foil but basically, I was out of the plot.
"No-one realised that at one point, Troyzan and I had joined as a nucleus and an atom, metaphorically speaking, and we brought along with us Jonas, Leif and Colton. Can you talk about your strategy to help the girls rather than the guys? What made you go in that direction?
