Kim Johnson: No, and we thought we were protected in the beginning and finally realized that we were not protected. In the beginning we thought that maybe there was even an electric fence, but we quickly realized that there was no protection.

Gatorboy: Did you think you were on the chopping block when you blew some challenges?
Kim Johnson: In the beginning, definitely. If Diane hadn't failed in the first challenge, I'm sure I'd have been the first off. If Jessie hadn't gotten sick in the second challenge, I'd have been off, In the next Immunity Challenge, if we hadn't won, I would definitely have been off. Once I got to the merge, I felt fairly safe.

Ethan_Rules: Do you think you would've had more of a chance of winning SURVIVOR if you had kept Lex rather than Ethan?
Kim Johnson: I would have had no shot against Lex either. Lex was very well liked by almost all of us, and the Boran Boy's Club would have stuck together, with Frank and Brandon also both voting for Lex over me. So it might have been 4-3 instead of 5-2, but Lex definitely would have won also.

ILoveEthanheisaCUTIE: Kim, what did you do to make Tom so mad at the end of the game that he voted for Ethan?
Kim Johnson: I think he was upset that I won the challenge that voted him off--the Fallen Comrade challenge--that my finally winning was his downfall. Then when I got to the final two, I don't think he'd seen the final Immunity, so he figured it must be some cerebral or girlie thing that I was good at, and therefore that put me into the final two when he didn't think I deserved it. I'm sure he also didn't appreciate my remarks about him being the least deserving and the person I learned the least from.

the_future_survivor: Did you answer all of the questions by the Jury truthfully, or did you answer them to get more votes?
Kim Johnson: No, I totally answered truthfully, because I knew I wasn't going to win. That's what made answering them easier for me. There was nothing that I could have said really that would have swayed any votes.

yummie: By the way, you are in amazing shape! Wow! We heard from Ethan yesterday that there was some nude dancing at night. Were you one of them?
Kim Johnson: [laughs] There was no nudity at all; maybe in his dreams. We played games where we divulged information about ourselves, but there was no nudity. The thong thing was about as nude as it ever got.

Gatorboy: How did you feel when you saw yourself on TV running around in a thong?
