Survivor Ghandia: Hello, Scott! Well, it's monsoon season, so it'd rain numerous times during the day (maybe five showers a day). The showers were sporadic, but we were protected by the cave, so the rain wasn't really that big a factor. Visitor: Ghandia, were you starving, or what? Survivor Ghandia: [laughs] No, I wasn't starving. Your body adjusts to how much food you're giving it, and mine adjusted really well to the decreased amount I was taking in, so I didn't really feel like I was starving. But if a cheeseburger had come along, I would have killed three of my tribemates to get it, that's for sure! Visitor: Jeff Probst seemed a bit peeved during the last two episodes. Any clues on why? Survivor Ghandia: The Reward Challenge he was pissed because Sook Jai kept on trying to just attack us, and they weren't listening to the rules explained to them over and over again. And then at Tribal Council he gave us specific actions to name who we were voting for and be clear. Right after he gave us that instruction, Clay did exactly what he wasn't supposed to do, so Jeff was mad. But that's Clay! Visitor: Ghandia, do you feel you were given enough training to survive? Survivor Ghandia: Yes, we received training the first three days from the awesome Red Berets, and they genuinely wanted us to learn and survive out there. They were really committed to helping us learn how to survive out in the wild, which was really awesome. They took a lot of pride in their presentation, which I really appreciated. Visitor: Ghandia, Ilove your impression of Clay! Survivor Ghandia: [laughs] Thank you! He's easy to imitate! [laughs] I like my impression of Clay too! It's fun to imitate him. Visitor: Ghandia, what was the worst-tasting thing you had to eat? Survivor Ghandia: Those sea snails. After we cooked them they tasted like rubber bands. Literally like rubber bands. Visitor: Do people recognize you, and what do they say if they do? Survivor Ghandia: Yes, people do recognize me, and one fan in particular told me that this season is better than Marquesas. They all say that I'm really funny to watch. I got mad love for you, iloveghandia! That's so cute! [laughs] Visitor: How did you like the way the tribes were picked in this game of SURVIVOR? Survivor Ghandia: The way that the tribes were picked this time was completely phenomenal because people were able to pick teams, so it could make or break a tribe's success as far as getting along and working together. Then, it was so risky, so it was exciting! Everyone took risks, which made it exciting and dramatic. It was really cool. Visitor: How much did it suck to have to brush your teeth with sand? EWW! Survivor Ghandia: [laughs] It sucked hard to have to brush my teeth with sand, but I had to do something for seven weeks so I wouldn't come home looking like Yuck Mouth! Visitor: Ghandia, is Clay as much of a hick as he appears to be? Survivor Ghandia: Yes, you know, but to Clay's credit, that's where he's from, and he's a product of his environment. Visitor: Hi Ghandia, has it been weird watching yourself on TV? Survivor Ghandia: Hello, Andy. It hasn't been weird. I actually enjoy watching myself on TV, and I think I look damn good with the absence of makeup. Visitor: After watching the tapes, had you wished you were on the other tribe? Survivor Ghandia: No, if I'd been put on the other tribe and messed up that puzzle I would have been gone on the first show, and then you would have all been really sad because you wouldn't have been able to witness the splendor of Ghandia. Visitor: Do you think Jan chose a good team? Survivor Ghandia: Yes, I think she chose an excellent team. However, she could have switched out Jed with Ted and Ken with Clay, and then it would have been perfect. [laughs] Visitor: What would you say that your "duties" on the island were? Survivor Ghandia: Fashion advisor. I was the person that suggested where we all should wear our buffs, and I checked them before we went to Challenges...made sure the logo was straight, showing properly, etc. Visitor: Ghandia, would you ever go on another SURVIVOR show? Was the overall experience a good one? Survivor Ghandia: Yes, I would do SURVIVOR 100 times more if they asked me to. The overall experience was fantastic. I'm proud to be part of it. Visitor: Ghandia, were you more disappointed about not winning the money, or not winning the game? Survivor Ghandia: More disappointed not winning the money, because I feel like I won already. Visitor: Ghandia, why did you shed your clothes and bare all on the island? Survivor Ghandia: Yes! Rock on! Love the username! [laughs] Because I had a diaper rash! That was for real! Constantly being wet and in the sand most of the time caused me to have a severe diaper rash. To cure that rash you gotta let it air out, so I thought I might as well air myself out. [laughs] I didn't know the cameras were there. I had one set of cameramen in my sight to the left and I was paying attention to them, and I thought I could be cool. Visitor: What did you think about Brian's sexist comments on last night's show? Survivor Ghandia: Oh, boy! I really want to be candid with this. When I heard that, the first thing that came to my mind is "What an a**!" He was just not thinking. He's thinking like a typical, shiftless male chauvinist pig. Visitor: What was the most annoying habit anyone had? Survivor Ghandia: That damn snoring from Clay and Ted! They should have brought Breathe Right nose strips as their luxury item. Visitor: This morning on the early show you said "My husband was a little angry with me about how close I became with Ted." Is that still going on? Survivor Ghandia: No. The experiences from this show have only made our marriage stronger. My husband and I love each other dearly. In fact, he's coming to New York to visit me, and we're going to play all weekend. Visitor: What are you plans while in New York? Survivor Ghandia: We're going to see the Knicks tomorrow night, baby! Courtside! I think we're going to see Langston Hughes's play that is here on Broadway, and we're going to eat a lot of good food and do a lot of lovin'! Visitor: I love your Audition tape, How did you think up that song "G-H-A-N-D-I-A"? Survivor Ghandia: The one thing that the SURVIVOR people were asking for was, tell us why you'd be the ultimate SURVIVOR, and be creative. I thought, what better way to show it but to make each letter of my name be an attribute of my personality that made me a great contestant for the show. I could show how creative I was and why Ghandia was made for SURVIVOR: THAILAND. Actually, that song was written as a poem, and I got some suggestions from my SURVIVOR enthusiasts group to make it a song. Visitor: What was your reaction when learning you had been chosen for SURVIVOR? Survivor Ghandia: Oh! Oh, boy! I was elated. I was ecstatic! It was like a dream that I kept having over and over and it was coming true and it was the most incredible feeling. I was so happy that I cried (which I'm sure you're not surprised at)! [laughs] Visitor: Ghandia, what is next for you? Survivor Ghandia: I'd love to do some mainstream plus-size modeling. I'd love to get my own talk show, be a VJ, but basically just keep entertaining you all and making you laugh, and maybe bringing you some drama here and there. SURVIVOR Host: Well everyone, our time with Ghandia is up. Ghandia, thanks so much for taking the time to chat with us today. Any final comments for the SURVIVOR fans? Survivor Ghandia: I want to tell you all thank you for your support and for cheering me on! I could feel your love all the way where I was, and I give the love back! All of the people who are fans and fans of the show are some of the most fantastic people in the world. Mad love to you all! SURVIVOR Host: Thanks for joining us, everyone.
