Xavier: Andrew, if you were Burton, would you give your immunity to others and why?
Andrew: Definitely. If I had the same double immunity that Burton had I would have loved to give one of the immunities to Ryan.
FireyRedTU: Andrew, what was your reaction to seeing Rupert 'pirating' the Morgan tribe's supplies at the very beginning?
Andrew: [laughs] I loved it. Those were my blue inserts that Rupert traded for a pineapple. I had no idea where they went and had actually thought that I'd lost them in the ocean. The theme is piracy and no doubt Rupert is a modern day pirate.
Savage Island: Do you regret getting rid of your strongest woman first by booting Nicole?
Andrew: I don't regret joining in the decision to vote Nicole out. Yes, she seemed to be a physically strong player but her conflict with Tijuana could potentially destroy morale and that effect so early in the game would have been too costly.
S_C_Murtz: Hey Andrew, do you think your experience as a lawyer helped or hurt you in the game?
Andrew: As an attorney for fifteen years, I have rubbed shoulders and met people from every walk of life. The skills and experiences that I take from those relationships definitely proved valuable on Survivor.
ILuvSandra: I love you Andrew! I was really hoping that you would win! Anyway, did that prison break challenge challenge you? It looked like it did.
Andrew: The prison break Challenge was the day after the sandbag weight Challenge. Personally I was still exhausted from the sandbag weight challenge and we didn't have much food nor did we get much sleep. So, yes, the prison break Challenge was very strenuous and exhausting. Running to the beach and gathering the flags definitely wore me out.
SavageLover: Andrew, which survivor would you predict to be the most likely to end up on "The Jerry Springer Show?"
Andrew: [laughs] Great question! It's probably no surprise that I believe Jon would be the most likely candidate because he seems to exhibit deeply dysfunctional characteristics.
ROGNA: How does it feel to have three days of your life condensed into a few pivotal and/or dramatic shots?
Andrew: It's exhilarating and frustrating at the same time. I only wish SURVIVOR were a three hour show instead of one hour simply because great dramas and events unfold that are impossible to show.
DreadPirateSavage: Savage, where did those rain ponchos come from? Sorry to see you go. You were great!
Andrew: Cool, thank you for the great comment. The rain ponchos were part of the Reward Challenge we won when Rupert was with the Morgan tribe. You may recall we won the portable shower, shampoo, soap, water containers and the rain ponchos.
SurvivorJunkie: After watching the show, did you see that the Drake tribe really did throw that one challenge? You didn't think they did.
Andrew: When you're out there on location, everything is very real. I thought it odd that the Drakes chose to sit out Rupert and Burton however, there is a rotation and the rule provides that you can't sit out the same two tribemates in consecutive Challenges. I did not waste the mental energy to try and think who sat out for the Drakes in prior challenges. What I do know is that the five Drakes that participated in that Challenge tried very hard to win. Shawn threw Ryan O. in the water. Michelle grabbed a hold of me and did all she could to get me in the water. So, when Jon came to our camp to pillage and told us they threw the challenge, although I had a slight suspicion that they intended to throw the challenge, I didn't feel that they had ...And let me just say, they don't ask how you win, they ask how many. Drakes won three Immunity Challenges and Morgan won three Immunity Challenges.
Kill_Jon: Andrew, looking back, do you feel that the two tribes were grossly lopsided in favor of Drake?
Andrew: Good question. The great thing about Survivor is that it's a magnified slice of life. As in life you have to play the cards that are dealt you. All that I know is that I was so proud to be part of the Morgan tribe and do what we did when faced with overwhelming adversity.
ROGNA: Have any of your opinions about the people on the show changed after you have seen it aired? If so, how?
Andrew: I would say that my dislike for Little Jon has increased, which was hard for me to imagine. My respect for Tijuana, Darrah, Ryan O. and Osten has increased when I see that the Drake tribe was experiencing the Survivor game while on Club Med.
jacob: Who did you trust the least out of Ryan O, Darrah, T, or Osten?
Andrew: That's a difficult question. I would say I trusted Darrah least--not because of who she is but because I did not know her that well. I felt I knew Ryan O., Tijuana and Osten very well and that the four of us would put out lives on the line for the other. Needless to say, I don't trust Lill anymore.
Mary: Hey Andrew Baby! Canada thinks you rock!! Tell us how you spend your Thursday nights.
Andrew: [laughs] I'm a dedicated family man and watching SURVIVOR on Thursdays is a very personal experience for my family and me. I watch SURVIVOR on Thursdays at home with my wife and two children and plenty of wine.
stokethesavage: Andrew--what did your daughters think of you on the show?
Andrew: My daughters are six years old and three years old. After seeing each episode on Thursday and always want to hug me and sit on my lap for the next hour. They were very excited that their daddy was on television doing the best he could.
ChiTown_Q_T: Andrew, Cubs or White Sox?
Andrew: Cubbys--all the way!
SavageLover: Andrew, you and Rhino had a nice brotherly rapport. Who have you kept in contact with since the show finished taping?
Andrew: The sixteen castaways are not allowed to contact each other until after the finale. I can't wait to reconnect with Ryan O. and the others.
Go_RyanO: Andrew, how much weight did you lose? You still looked pretty good at the end!
Andrew: Thanks for the compliment. I lost about sixteen pounds, which at the beginning of the game I didn't have to lose. Looking back on it maybe I should have had Rupert's big ol' belly for reserves.
SurvivorKrys: Do you agree with Osten's decision to quit the game? Would you have voted for him that night even if he hadn't asked?
Andrew: I did not agree with Osten's decision to quit however, I have not walked a mile in Osten's shoes so I could not begin to understand what he was going through. I hope all of us can appreciate that when a good friend is having a very difficult time you want to support that friend in whatever decision they make. What you didn't see is that Darrah fell ill that day and was struggling. I say this because if Osten had not quit it would come down to who was healthier at Tribal Council: either Osten or Darrah.
r?nk: Did Rupert choose the name "Balboa" for the merged tribe? Did everyone have input in naming the new tribe?
Andrew: I believe Rupert did suggest the name Balboa for the merged tribe however, once the name Balboa was suggested we all took a vote and it was clearly a unanimous decision.
kitkat: How would you feel if Burton or Lill wins the whole million dollars?
Andrew: Sad.
Survivor Host: I am sorry to say that our hour with Andrew is up. Andrew, thanks so much for being here to chat with us today. Do you have any final comments for the Survivor fans?
Andrew: I take full responsibility for everything I did in the Pearl Islands. I have absolutely no regrets. I had an absolute blast and a wonderful adventure. Cheers to Captain Morgan, our namesake!
