Found this over at TVRules.net. I will link the article and paste it here as well...Michael was the latest cast member banished from FOX's reality soap opera "Forever Eden." Michael asked the two members who had the power this week, Jordan and Chris to send him home and they gave him his wish. After telling Jordan that he would relinquish half his coins to him, Michael switched it up at the last minute giving his coins to Kassie.
Today TVRules.net catches up with Michael after his banishment from Eden, and his experiences on the show.
First off were you really happy to be going home?
Michael: Yeah ready to take off. I had a great experience and learned about myself.
Jordan seemed to think there was a deal for you to give him half your coins but I never really heard you say that it was a deal. So the question, was there a deal?
Michael: Yeah there was a deal for the coins. Jordan and Chris got to banish the guy and I talked to both of them.
You were the lucky man that they named most desirable and received an apple, that appeared to be good.
Michael: It caught me off guard. I didn't think I was liked by the cast members but I guess I was wrong. I enjoyed the dinner and the exclusive dinner and day. It was awesome.
Why did you pick Neveen and Brooke?
Michael: I just looked around and picked when Ruth asked.
When you walked up after that day...and realized something was going on, did you have any idea that one of your choices would be going home?
Michael: Ruth said that the other girls would get some time to get to know each other a little more and that made me think something was happening.
Jason's arrival sort of stirred up things a little bit. Did you think initially that he would fit into your groups or be a problem?
Michael: I thought he was going to be a problem by the way he was coming across. He talked about how he was going to play.
Jason and Shawna chose Jordan to leave. Did you have any idea it would be him?
Michael: No, I thought it would be Matthew.
Also, did you know that he would be so mad about being banished?
Michael: No, not knowing that he and Shawna had an alliance which I found out about later.
When Claudia arrived, there was a situation with you and David. Did you not know that David, Liz, Shawna, Wallace were so close?
Michael: They were an open alliance. The thing between David and I was that he came across as a person I could relate to but after seeing the girls change his attire/voice, I was disappointed in him.
Why do you think that Claudia switched up at the end from David to Wallace?
Michael: Because of what they did, she switched it up. I thought it was great.
Were you surprised that Simon was not a waiter and wasn't Simon but Chris?
Michael: Not really. I was a little but just seemed I dunno..like he was part of the cast but the waiter.
How well did he fit in?
Michael: By the time Chris got there, I was the next one banished so I didn't really get a lot of time. I think that we would have got along.
Do you have any idea why he brought back Jordan and not someone else?
Michael: Chris asked everyone and when we talked I told him Jordan.
What words would describe each of the people to date?
Michael:
Neveen-simple minded
Brooke- awesome
Khalilah-I didn't get a chance to get to know her much
Shawna-unpredictable
Liz- not a nice person
Kassie- sweetheart
Wallace-one of the guys, cool
Jordan-a little on the weird side I guess
David-easy to persuade
Matt-crazy
Jason-cool guy
Claudia-innocent
Simon AKA Chris-honest
Can you tell us a little about Eden. What is there to do there? What did you do in a typical day?
Michael: We woke up at 11 for breakfast, hung out and played games, snorkeling, hung out by the pool.
What did you as a group, have the most fun doing?
Michael: Playing games
Do each of you get rooms alone, it seems like a couple of you share but a couple have singles?
Michael: Everyone had their own room.
How was the food and did you always eat separate from the girls?
Michael: Yeah, we ate apart and the food was good.
What did you miss most about home?
Michael: I appreciate it more now.
Would you ever want to do it again?
Michael: Not anytime soon.
What are you going to do now?
Michael: I am going to relax a month or so and take a couple of classes and move out to Huntington Beach in August, which was planned before the show.
Do you have a website?
Michael: No
Any final words or thoughts for any of your fans?
Michael: It was a good experience and awesome.
Michael was a great guy on the show and fun to interview. I know I'll miss him on the show! He has a great laugh and I really wish him well in his future. We would like to thank Michael and FOX for the interview!
