Highlights of Sarah's Final CBS Web Chat - 3/21/02
* How difficult was it for you to not take friction from Gina?
I personally didn't feel any friction. I didn't know at the time how many dirty looks she had thrown at me.
* Gina seemed to gain some hope and strength by the teams being reformed. She seemed to be outraged by the old tribe voting off Hunter. Did that have an impact on the voting or was it just your actions that caused you to get booted?
A little of both. I was miserable those last few days from the bug bites and I definitely wasn't participating as much.
* How long did it take to get rid of your nono bites?
I'm finally getting rid of the scars. They are fading this past month.
* Why did you form an alliance with Rob? Wouldn't Hunter have been a better choice?
Me and Rob had a connection from the beginning, we got along best and seemed to have the same opinions. Hunter and I had tension from the beginning. It seemed natural for me to make Rob my little buddy.
* What do you think of Rob now that you've seen his comments about you?
I don't take anything personally, it's just a game. He seems more evil on TV than he really is and I needed him as much as he needed me
* Did the switch benefit you or not?
The switch benefited some people and I don't think it benefited me. I would have been in the game longer because Gina was next to go in our group. The switch came earlier than we expected and of course I wish I could have stayed longer.
* How have your family and friends reacted to you being on Survivor?
They were very supportive and loved every minute of it.
* How did you react when you saw Rob and Sean get a taste of reality at the Rotu camp?
I thought it was funny, I was laughing. The stuff they were saying was totally them. Sean I knew would be in shock but Rob would fit in over there nicely.
* In your final words you said you could not wait to see your family and Kevin. Who is Kevin? And did you buy a monkey?
Kevin is my boyfriend of 9 months. He's here in NY with me. I hope in the future to buy a monkey.
* What did you think of Neleh, Paschal and Kathy?
I thought they were great. I especially liked Neleh, she is the perfect young woman.
* Did you always vote how Rob told you to?
No I did not. Rob needed me as much as I needed him. We had the same game plan.
* Was there any racial tension on the island?
Not that I noticed. Sean might have had some in his own head after seeing his interviews.
* What were your feelings about Sean constantly using the race card?
To me race doesn't matter.
* Do you feel that the switch was a fair thing to do?
Absolutely, the game needs as many changes as possible. We appreciated anything they had us do and for some people it was a helping factor for their status in the game.
* If you could go back and pick an alliance with anyone in the game who would it be?
I would have kept my same alliance with Rob but at the same time, me, Rob, Hunter and Gina could have gone far.
* What did you think of Gina?
Really nice girl. She deserved to be out there and we will remain friends.
* It seems as though if the players had watched the past Survivors that you would know that you must work together to keep from getting voted off. What is your opinion?
You can only fake your personality for about 4 days after that if you are bossy or a leader type, etc it will show.
* Have you ever hung out with previous Survivor contestants or are you allowed to?
No, we are not allowed.
* Did you find anyone attractive?
Rob, Hunter and Gina. From the other tribe I'd say Gabe and John.
* Who was the girl throwing up on the boat on the way to the island?
That would be me. I threw up for 3 hours. Neleh and Zoe took care of me even though we weren't on the same tribe.
* Is it annoying that some people just want to work. The Rotus seem to work nonstop and never have fun.
I think they were just trying to impress each other too much.
* I hear you have changed careers. What are you doing now?
When I came back from the island I decided that I no longer wanted to work in an office. I want to do something more outdoors. Until other opportunities arise I'm doing freelance photography and serving cocktails in a lounge.
* If you got stung by a sea urchin would you have someone pee on the wound?
Absolutely!
* I feel that you were mis-portrayed. Do people come up to you and say rude things?
No one has came up to me and directly said anything rude but I hear people say things under their breath
* Did your alliance with Rob ruin your chances to win the million dollars?
No it did not.
* What was your strategy?
To go out there and be myself, to be tough, go with the flow, have fun and not have any regrets.
* Why do you think Maraamu couldn't win any challenges?
Everything we did just didn't seem to work. We weren't working together as a team.
* After losing last night's IC did you make any attempt to avoid being voted off?
There's only a few hours in between the challenge and Tribal Council and whatever I'd done in the previous two days wasn't going to change the minds of the others.
* Will you be on Rosie or Letterman?
I'll be on Rosie Friday March 22 and Letterman hasn't been decided.
* What did Kevin think of your flirting with Rob?
We had only been dating a couple of months before I left and he wanted me to have a good time.
* Are you still currently friends with the other Survivors, do you talk to them?
There are some that I haven't gotten to know yet and I can't wait til I do. I do still talk to quite a few quite often.
* From what we've seen so far, the originally Maraamu's days are numbered. In hindsight do you think that voting off strong members such as Patricia and Hunter lead to losses?
No I don't think so. Especially Hunter because we had already lost 3 with him there.
* If Playboy asks you to pose, what will you say?
Yes if the price is right.
* Did the players have body odor?
We didn't smell as bad as I thought we would. Being in and out of saltwater helped. And we got used to each other. After the fafaru challenge we all had bad breath and had it on our clothes.

Combine her comments here on Gina with Shakes' post of her comments on the Early Show (see his thread),
words of support and praise for a friend 'cause they bonded at Loser Lodge?
or
words of naive admiration because Gina has some gray matter?
or
words of praise because Gina did MUCH better (merge) in the game?
Any other nuggets in this chat?
