Survivor Host: Hey Christa! Thanks for being here today. Are you ready to take some questions?
Christa: I'm more ready than ever! Bring it on!


jakedog: Did you feel that it was all over for you after Rupert was voted out?
Christa: No, there's always hope. I always had hope. Always gotta have hope. Sandra and I were pretty sneaky all the time and could come up with ways to save ourselves yet another day, just like the whole situation with T. We were able to save ourselves on several occasions before Rupert left also. So, all the time, I was just trying to work every angle.


ckk_baby: Hi Christa, If Burton told you that everyone was going to vote out Sandra, would you have gone with the flow?
Christa: Absolutely. I would've done anything to move one more spot ahead and at the final six that's kind of how it goes...every man's on their own.


BlueBeard: Christa, why did you and Sandra go with Jon last week instead of the female alliance?
Christa: Well, what you didn't see is that Tijuana threatened me, telling me that if I didn't hand over the only working lighter we bought in the village then they would switch their vote from Burton back to me. I figured if Tijuana could actually pull it off and tell Jon and Burton about Christa then I would be indeed the next to go. So, essentially I figured I might as well vote out T if it was going to be me...why not? Move one more spot ahead...carry on!


rattler: Christa, you were so close to the end and the $1 million. Is there any one mistake that you can point out that lead to your exit?
Christa: I had a real problem with boring people like Darrah and Lill, so basically I could've tried a little harder to talk to them even though they'd just sit their with their mouths hanging open catching flies. [laughs] It was kind of hard, but I could've talked to them more.


Thebigcrazy: What are your thoughts on the John's Dead Grandma thing, and when did you find out about the deception?
Christa: Well, I think Jon did a great job in lying about that, and everybody all fell for it by giving up their visit with their loved ones at the Reward Challenge. However, if you look back at that you'll see Sandra and myself were the only two people rolling out eyes at Jon the entire time. Basically, it was a really bad act, we'd already heard about this grandma on several occasions. We'd already speculated that it was a lie and we weren't buying it. So, the day after we got back from the other island Jon was smiling away, happy go lucky and that's not quite the reaction you get from someone when his grandma just died. Unfortunately, like the fish incident it, was something we couldn't prove so I didn't even attempt to talk about it or bring it up. Also, especially Tijuana's mother had an illness and other people's family members had illnesses, so it was sort of inappropriate to bring it up. I found out 100% for sure when the show aired.


Markie: Did you ever voice your disbelief about his grandmother to the others?
Christa: Just Sandra and I. We talked about it often but we had no guts. We couldn't bring it up, we couldn't prove it so...if you couldn't prove it...we didn't want to look like insensitive idiots.


Red_Man: Christa, do you think Jon's big lie was a fair tactic to use?
Christa: I think Jon is one of the best Survivor players ever in Survivor history, so sure it was a great tactic to use. I wish I'd thought of that one myself. Who knows how much it actually helped him, but it's obvious no one knew the truth. It worked out for him in his favor.


rattler: Christa, you took the heat for Sandra's fish-capade. How do you feel about her now? Friends still?
Christa: I did take the heat for that. I never would've thrown the fish out in the first place, but if I did do something that stupid I wouldn't have fessed up to doing it. We're not allowed to talk to each but Sandra and I were close out there and she was always my buddy. I could talk to her out there so I'm sure we'll be friends when I see her at the reunion show.


ROGNA: Did you have a crush at any time on any other SURVIVOR? Who was it?
Christa: Let me tell ya, I had a wonderful, wonderful man waiting at home for me who is now my wonderful husband. As far as all the guys out there, there's a reason why they're all about thirty and single.


all4jenna: Hi Christa, what would you say was your most embarrassing moment of your time on the island?
Christa: When everybody went to go look for the treasure chest, Jon and I stayed behind and decided to swim out to an island that only comes up during low tide to look for the treasure chest. On our way swimming back, we ended up thrown against the rocks, and when we got out of the water we were bleeding all over the place and swearing left and right. It was embarrassing; my top was falling off, his shorts were falling off! It was so painful! We couldn't stop laughing. It was funny and embarrassing all at the same time!


TNRockyraccoon: Hey Christa, We hated so much to see you go. How badly do you think the Outcasts twist affected the game?
Christa: I hated to see me go too! [laughs] But the Outcast twist...you know, it was just part of the game. I didn't think any differently about it because it's not like we wanted to get rid of the Outcasts right away. None of us thought about it too much, except for a few members when we got back to camp before they returned. Other than that we just played the game as usual. I mean, you have to keep surviving no matter what happens, you know? The game was still on.


ROGNA: Jeff seems to give you guys a hard time on camera--is he friendlier off camera?
Christa: Jeff is the greatest host on the face of the planet. He's super cool and he's only rough on the idiots! [laughs] Because they really are idiots.


NYCSurvivor: Why were you keep accusing Ryno for missing stuff? Did you have any evidence? Was it a strategic move or was it personal?
Christa: I didn't really ever actually accuse Ryan O. of stealing anything. It just happened he was the first person I'd glance at when I talked about people taking things from camp. It seemed he was having a hard time out there and people start to take things personally! Sorry! I wasn't directing anything at him personally.


GiveBurtontheMil: What is your opinion of Lill? Which outcasts would you have liked to see return?
Christa: I think Lill is a hard worker but rather annoying at the same time because she doesn't shut up about how sorry she is about every single thing and she constantly sings her boy scout oath. I was just hoping she'd sing a new song after a while...anything but that. I really hoped that Lill or Ryan Shoulders actually. I felt I could possibly bond with him.


Shark: Why do you think Rupert still looks pissed in the jury?
Christa: [laughs] Probably because he is so pissed! Rupert takes things very personally and you know, you can't betray Rupert, and he felt like he was betrayed. I always say being in an alliance with Rupert is like being in the mafia...once you get in you can't get out. And now he's out. Fortunately he can't hurt anybody quite yet!


FireyRedTU: Christa, what was your first impression of Rupert--the instant you first saw him?
Christa: Well, I thought Rupert was this big hippie guy, and I grew up in a small artsy hippie town so I used to hang out with these hippie types. He seemed very jolly and I thought this person would be a good person to align myself with. He seems like he'd be genuine and trusting.


QueenO: Who do you think would have won in a hand-to-hand battle? Jon or Sandra?
Christa: Definitely Sandra, but Jon wouldn't go down without a fight! [laughs] Actually, I would love to see that!


QueenO: What would have been the best Reward Challenge prize--underwear for Rupert or bra for Lill?
Christa: Well, the underwear for Rupert would've been good because then he would have been able to lend his underwear to Lill when he needed to take a break! [laughs] I don't know...thanks for asking though!


vortex: Christa, do you still have the tatters of your blue dress?
Christa: Yes, I do! It's one of the sexiest outfits I own. As well as I have the tatters of Rupert's skirt that he first wore out there. And of course my other wonderful line that I produced with the old sewing machine. Pirate pants, fabulous aqua shirt.


LiarLiar: How many times did you try out for the show?
Christa: I sent in my videotape and application once before for SURVIVOR: OUTBACK but never again until this time. It was meant to be.


Luv4Rupie: Who is your favorite Survivor from other seasons and your favorite survivor location?
Christa: I'd have to say Kelly Goldsmith from SURVIVOR: AFRICA. She had a lot of spunk and personality. My favorite location probably would've been Pulau Tiga.


oooo: Christa, who are you anxious to confront at the reunion show?
Christa: I can't wait to diss on Osten--what a loser!


purplekittenfish: What type of person would you suggest should not be on SURVIVOR?
Christa: Equity trade managers from Boston! [laughs]


psyderGrl: Why did Jeff call you a 'Freak' at the food challenge?
Christa: Because I am the biggest freak you'll ever meet! I am a FREEEEEAK! [laughs]


nini2000: Christa, did you ever come close to quitting the game?
Christa: Quitting? Nah. There were some times I thought it really sucked out there but weeks passed by. I mean, you get used to your lifestyle out there so why would you quit?


psyderGrl: Was the game more mentally challenging than you had anticipated?
Christa: Definitely more mentally challenging than I originally anticipated. To stay up half the night wondering what everyone else is thinking, laying out stories you're going to tell the next day in your mind, talking to yourself in your head. It sucks because you have to think of every situation to move yourself ahead in the game. You have to talk to so many people and figure out ways to work with them. It's really, really hard. Harder than you would think.


FireyRedTU: Christa, did any of your opinions on the Survivors change from during the game to when watching the show?
Christa: No.


AmeliaBedelia: There is a lot of lying and deceiving on this show. What is the biggest lie you told?
Christa: When I was accused of throwing out the fish I had to find some way to get out of it even though I didn't do it! Basically, in front of everybody I said to Jon and Burton, "I heard you guys just before we left for Tribal Council were going to set me up. You were going to throw out the fish to make it look like I was upset that my buddy Rupert got voted out, and it'd be the perfect way to get Christa voted out." So, I made up a conversation that Jon and Burton never had to try and shift the blame to Jon and Burton.


DooWahDitty: Hi Christa. You are one hot mama! Playboy or no?
Christa: Show me the money!!! [laughs]
