SURVIVOR Host: There are lots of great questions, so let's get to as many as we can! If you're just joining us, we're chatting live with the Sole Survivor Brian Heidik. Hi Brian! Thanks for spending some time to chat with us today. Are you ready for some questions?
Brian: Bring it on!

Scarlette58: Brian, you played an amazing game. At any point did you feel like you had the game all sewn up?
Brian: I'd say after the final Immunity Challenge, yes.

ilove: Just how painful was that Immunity Challenge?
Brian: My whole body was aching, and it took hours to recoup, not only mentally, but physically.

simma: Brian, Congrats! Do you use the same skills to sell cars as you used to win?
Brian: Of course! [laughs]

ncbabe: Did your tactics EVER hurt your conscience?
Brian: No, I really had no emotions. My emotions were put aside. I couldn't get emotionally involved. Everything was strategic, and I used other's emotions to my advantage.

warped: What was your most embarrassing moment on the show?
Brian: When I got beat by Robb and Ken in the Challenge with the baskets and wicker balls on the beach. I was exhausted, and I got beat! Robb and Ken kicked my ass! [laughs]

ItsMeDeb: I watched you on THE EARLY SHOW today, you said you were going to double, triple and/or quadruple the money you won. How ya gonna do that?
Brian: Buy low and sell right, [laughs] leverage and hedging.

Brian_is_hot: Brian, I think you were the best player out there. I'm glad you won. What's going on with your wife?
Brian: She looks beautiful! We're doing great. She was at the party, and she looked wonderful, and you should be able to see her in all the clips. She should be doing a Steven Segal movie in February. We're doing great, thanks for asking.

croc420: You made some comments about a woman's role in society. I want to offer you a chance to redeem yourself here. How much of that was tongue-in-cheek and how much of it was serious?
Brian: I'd say 50/50. Women were really taking to their roles though: while the men were taking to their roles of hunting and fishing, the women were doing the cooking and cleaning. But it was what I observed so it is true. We were living the stereotypes.

kris: Did you feel the show accurately portrayed you, and the other castaways?
Brian: I think that we were 75% accurately portrayed.

JeffProbstIsSexy: People are comparing you to Richard Hatch. Are you honored or appalled by that?
Brian: I think it's great, but there is a new sheriff in town, and his name is Brian. [laughs]

dancetammy: What did you think about Penny's questions at the end?
Brian: Absolutely ridiculous! Her reason for who should win and who shouldn't win was immature, but I expected that from Penny. Excuse me for not knowing her cat's name was Scruffy.
