Patricia's Final CBS Web Chat - 3/08/02
* Hello I'm glad I could be here to chat although I was I was further down the road.
* Patricia sorry to see you go last night. Do you think that playing mother goose was part of the reason you were let go?
I don't think that playing mother goose was the reason, I think that it was my mouth
* I'm jealous that got lotion put on you by Hunter, how was it?
I don't think anything sexual from Hunter rubbing lotion on me. Hunter is young enough to be my son but I egged my tribemates on by telling him to do my front. He was a good sport and so were they.
* Hey mama, sorry you got voted off so soon, if you could go back and do one thing differently, what would it be?
I wouldn't do anything differently. I am what I am and that's what I was.
* You were great on Survivor, Mama. What did you think about the arguing at Tribal Council?
I found the arguing to be funny. People were their real selves and you can't hide from the camera.
* How frustrating was it with the lazy people. Were they really that lazy (Sean and Sarah)?
It was very frustrating to be with lazy people. They really are as lazy as you see them. I pushed them to do more and that's what got me voted off.
* During the first two challenges, could you sense a bond between the Rotu tribe and a strain between you and your tribemates?
Yes I could sense that strain in us. The Rotu tribe worked as a team and we had 3 teams.
* Where did the sunscreen come from?
We had a medical kit that was supplied by CBS.
* Who were you the closest to and who got under your skin?
I am closest to Hunter. Peter got under my skin.
* What did the fafaru taste like?
It tasted like 4 day old garbage that you throw out.
* Did your chicken trap work?
I built the chicken trap the day I was voted off so I really didn't get a chance to bait it.
* What was the best and worst part about being out there?
The best part was just being out there... meeting the people and seeing the islands. The worst part was voting people off at Tribal Council.
* Were you surprised to see the unspoken Sean/Vee alliance last night?
Yes I was. I was surprised at the race card that was played. I did not see that and did not anticipate it.
* How did you feel about Sean's comments about Black Vs. White on the show?
I didn't like Sean's comments about Black Vs. White. I don't see them as any different as me. I don't see color. They are human beings just as I am.
* What was the hardest challenge for you?
Both challenges in the ocean were hard because I'm not a good swimmer.
* How difficult was it to find food?
It wasn't hard to find fruit and the coconuts were abundant. It was hard to find the mussels and the fish.
* Did you find the term Mom endearing or annoying?
Rob started calling me Mom on the first day and I thought it was a term of respect and it did not annoy me. I am a terrific mother.
* How close are Rob and Sarah? Is there a love connection?
Rob and Sarah are very close but I do not know if it was romantic.
* Were you surprised last night to see that Rob was just "playing" Sarah?
You know, I don't think that Rob was playing Sarah. I think he was truly protecting her.
* Is there a love connection between Gina and Hunter?
No, they were friends, they were attracted but there was no love connection.
* Do you think the shelter would hold up in the rainstorm?
No I do not think there was enough palm fronds on it but there's only so much you can do.
* Who was the sexiest guy on the island?
I am 49 years old, I do not look at young men with sexy eyes.
* Did the editing make it look like you nagged more than you did?
Absolutely not! I am a nag!
* Was Hunter a really good leader or was that just the way he was edited?
Hunter was a really good leader. It just came to him naturally.
* What did you do for your audition tape?
I rode my Arabian horses up to my barn and showed them the barn that I built by myself and the truck that I assembled.
* Is Sarah really as clueless as she seems?
Sarah is not clueless. Sarah is a good sport.
* If you could slap one of your tribemates, who would it be?
I wouldn't slap any but I'd like to spank Sean and Sarah.
* Rob said you were a pain in the butt, what do you think?
Rob's comment doesn't bother me. I love Rob. He's a wonderfully nice young man with a great personality.
* Do you think that you would have better fit into the Rotu tribe? How did it feel to lose very challenge?
Since I was on that tribe I have no idea how I would fit in. It was rotten to lose all the challenges.
* If you had to be stranded on an island with any one of your tribemates who would it be?
Hunter because he can survivor anything.
* What did you think of Rotu's waterfall after you saw it on TV?
That made me sick. I didn't know they had a waterfall and that's why they always looked so clean at challenges.
* What one food item is Maraamu eating the most of?
Grapefruit.
* How bad did the NoNo flies bite?
You didn't know you were bitten until you started itching. The more you scratched the more you itched.
* Did you enjoy the Early Show?
Yes I enjoyed it.
* Are you going on any talk shows?
I've been invited to go on Rosie and I'm going Monday.
* How do you think is the strongest mentally?
Vecepia. She was thinking all the time and quiet. She was probably planning and plotting.
* Did it rain while you were out there?
It rained once, a light rain.
* What did you think of Kathy's performance when you watched it last night?
I thought Kathy was throwing a pity party. I admired her determination to get the tribe's food but at the same time she wanted a lot of recognition for it.
* What do you hope will come from this experience?
I only wanted out of this experience: a new four wheeler. So I'm crossing my fingers and hoping that I can get a new 4 wheeler.
* Pat you rock. Has the show changed you personally?
This is not my number fan because I'm not Pat, Patty or Patsy. I'm Patricia or Tricia or Mama. I agree with you, I do rock! And it hasn't changed me personally.
* Do you think Survivor was worth leaving your home life behind for the time you were gone?
I think it was worth it. I sacrificed a lot to be on the show: emotionally and monetarily and time that I can never get back but it was worth it.
* Are you looking forward the Survivor reunion?
I'm looking forward to it because people are not going to recognize me. I'm going down there anorexic so that I can look normal on TV.
* Please enlighten us as to the toilet and sanitary conditions?
What toilet? We had to bury our waste.
* What was the feeling like when you found out you had gotten chosen for the show?
No one has asked me that all day! When I first found out, it was 8 o'clock at night and I was so excited and have not been so since that day because that was my goal - just to get on the show. I cried all the way home on the airplane. That was the high point for me of this whole experience.
* Did you get to go out and explore the island?
The day before I was voted off, I went off by myself. I found a freshwater stream and freshwater shrimp, tarot. I found a horse stuck in a stream in a rock and I released it. I was all by myself when I did that. I had to get away.
* It is hard to get a clear understanding of Vecepia's character. Do you and her get along?
I thought that Vecepia and I got along well. I thought we bonded on a spiritual level but I guess we did not.
* Are you in contact with any other survivor members?
Yes I am, Gina and Hunter.
* How did you clean your teeth?
We brushed daily with sticks and lemon rinds
* Did anyone make fun of Rob for losing to a 21 year old girl?
No we didn't. Rob beat himself at that.
* Final Comments?
I appreciate your support. It's wonderful to know that there are people out there who value Mothers, value middle age and can overlook someone being a little overweight. Thank you and I love you all.

Stand out items to me:
1) * How do you think is the strongest mentally?
Vecepia. She was thinking all the time and quiet. She was probably planning and plotting.
Could this infer that "Don't Call Me Pat" (DCM Pat) does not see Vecepia in loser lodge? Vecepia makes merge?
2) Gina and Hunter NOT romantic. DCM Pat knew them during the game and after, sounds like solid info. So their bond may be less volatile than Rob and Sarah, and more of an unspoken solid alliance?
Any other important chat nuggets?
