john 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 Survivor Jed Hildebrand. To ask Jed a question, type it in the space below and click "Ask the Survivor." Hi, Jed! Thanks for spending some time to chat with us today. Are you ready for some questions?

Jed: Yes, fire away!

croc420: Jed, I'm wondering if you had any idea you were going to be voted out, or was it a total surprise? thanks
Jed: It was a total surprise. I believed people when they said they weren't voting for me.

Susan: What where your tactics or strategy for playing the game?
Jed: My strategy was to have people of the same mindset wanting to enjoy their time on the island rather than stir up drama and get rid of those that wanted to cause tension. I wanted to keep the team as strong as possible to win immunity but others had a different strategy.

Jeff_Probst_Is_Sexy: Did you watch any of the previous seasons of Survivor, and if so, did you use any strategic moves from watching them?
Jed: Yes, I watched the other episodes from SURVIVOR and took other people's mistakes to make my game plan. I really liked how Gabe was not going to fall into the trap of playing the backstabbing game, but also Colby's efforts to appease everyone and compete 100% in the Challenges.

Dewey: What was the first thing you did when you got voted off?
Jed: I grabbed a quick snack and started scrubbing off all the dirt and grime.

vale: There have been many comments that you have been lazy. Is that true, or are you just misunderstood?
Jed: Complete misunderstanding. It was a perception of what was important to survive. Some thought the fort was more important than food or water for surviving. Also, the perception of someone building the fort looks at all other activities as frivolous. I just wanted to keep the team as healthy and strong to win Challenges, but others chose to throw the Challenge.

bonnie: You spent a lot of time with Stephanie. Were you attracted to her?
Jed: I spent a lot of time with Stephanie and Robb because they had the same philosophy of keeping things strong on the team and food and water being essentials to live. She's a good looking girl, and I think of her as my sister.

jed_rules: All of us girls are wondering if you have a girlfriend or wife.
Jed: I have neither a girlfriend nor a wife. I am single.
