Survivor Host: You all have a lot of great questions for Ryan, so let's get begin!! Hey Ryan! Thanks for being here today. Are you ready to talk to take some questions?
Ryan O: Absolutely!


VoodooPrincess: Ryan, I thought Jon should have gotten the boot, were you surprised to be voted off?
Ryan O: No, I think I knew I had it coming. Of course a lot of people thought Jon should go bye-bye, but he was tight with Burton and whoever else, because it was a landslide: 8-1.


bighair: Your vote for Christa last night seemed personal. What happened between the two of you to provoke that?
Ryan O: Christa, on numerous occasions, would tell me that she was going to vote me off with the rest of them. There was an issue of an orange that she claims that I stole and in reality she ended up eating it. [laughs] But she'd do a lot of underhanded things all the time.


micala: Ryan, were you surprised to find out that Darrah and T voted against you? I thought y'all were close?
Ryan O: I was really surprised. They were my girls, so I was surprised that they voted for me. Understandably, T and I had a little bit of trouble, which wasn't on camera. Andrew, Darrah and I had a sub-alliance and I never told Tijuana about it, so she was a little bit upset. I think that kind of led to the fact that I didn't win immunity. She put two coconuts in my trough. She was a little upset with me. Darrah, on the other hand, I have no idea.


gogogadget: Ryan! Sorry to see you booted. How's your cat? Did you guys have a good reunion?
Ryan O: My cat died a couple of days before I left for the Pearl Islands so unfortunately, there was no reunion and maybe that is why I was so kind to Pelican Pete. I'm an animal lover.


ruprules01: You were adorable with Pelican Pete Ryan! Just how useless was Osten?
Ryan O: Actually, OT did a lot of work, but the camera wasn't going to show it because he complained a lot and you know, I still consider him a friend. He wasn't quite as much of a whiner as everybody thinks he is.


kiweee: Ryan, on the Early Show you said that you and Jeff had a big confrontation. What was that about?
Ryan O: I think it was over one of the Reward Challenges. I think it was the boating one. Trish had hit me in the face with a paddle, and Jeff said he was going to be aggressively watching everyone so we're not hurting each other. I guess I just kind of blew up and started yelling at him because he wasn't really paying attention I guess like he should have...in my opinion.


pelican: Ryan, why didn't you aggressively pursue an alliance after Andrew left?
Ryan O: I actually tried to aggressively pursue an alliance earlier on. Maybe it got edited out or wasn't on camera.


lei: Ryan, what are you doing for Thanksgiving? Would you like to come to my house? I'm making homemade pumpkin pie!
Ryan O: Thanks for the offer but I will be spending Thanksgiving with my family.


RyAnRuLes0nSurvivor: Hey Ryan! You were great on the show! What was your reaction when you found out that two people who had already been voted out were coming back?
Ryan O: When I found out that the Outcast tribe was coming back I was a little upset but with all the twists and turns of Survivor I just kind of had to grin and bear it.


Arrgh: Hey Ryan, I was wondering if it bothered you that people kept calling you Rhino instead of Ryan O?
Ryan O: Actually, my nickname was given to me by a friend years ago and it's Ryno--R-y-n-o--so I wasn't offended.


Workin: What do you think was Morgan's downfall? Why couldn't they get it together?
Ryan O: I think our downfall was the fact that none of us could fish and not everyone could swim so it hurt us in some of the Challenges and we ended up getting behind in them but we ended up making a great comeback.


Michellefan14: Did you have a crush on Nicole? When she was talking, it kind of seemed like you did. Also, who do think is the hottest SURVIVOR ever?
Ryan O: No, absolutely not. I was never attracted to Nicole. She might have thought so, but that wasn't the case. I was more attracted to Darrah. And out of all of them, lookswise--Jesse Comacho.


VoodooPrincess: Ryan, do you have any thoughts on posing for Playgirl?
Ryan O: I think I'll have to take the 5th on that one. [laughs] But you never know.


ceewater: Hi Ryan. What did you think of Lillian's behavior to the Morgans? If you had been voted off earlier and came back, would you have acted the same way?
Ryan O: Actually, the way Lillian played the game at that point was great. We all voted for her so her flip-flopping ensured she stayed in the game. No, if I'd been voted off earlier, I wouldn't have acted that way.


CyberJoeCool: Now that you have been voted out, who are you rooting for?
Ryan O: I'm actually rooting for Darrah. I've got a great respect for how tough the girl is...and I also like her.


lei: Ryan, what was your first thought when you saw Rupert in a skirt the first time?
Ryan O: I actually didn't think a whole lot of it. I had jeans and I couldn't wait to get out of 'em. I'm not the type of person that's going to make fun and laugh at somebody so whatever he does is his business.


rink: Most irritating voice: Christa or Tijuana?
Ryan O: Christa, for sure.


Arrgh: Ryan, being part of the Morgan tribe must have been exasperating. How did you get through it?
Ryan O: Well, I gave 110% and hopefully the bond I made with these people regardless of how we did is going to stay there for a long time. It really wasn't that tough when you have people behind you like that.


mykona: Was Jon a real jerk or did he just play one on TV??
Ryan O: Jon just played one for TV but in reality he was an all right kid.


AmeliaBedelia: Rhino, does Rupert intimidate the others at the camp? Is that why he won immunity last night?
Ryan O: I feel that Rupert does intimidate a few people, but I think he's doing himself an injustice by doing so because he could be perceived as a threat.


leahsmom: Ryan, if you guys wanted Rupert out, why didn't anyone put any coconuts in his trough?
Ryan O: Actually, the others should have done it. I have no idea, really, why they didn't. I'm a little confused on that one but I'm not in their shoes so...oh, well.


pelican: Ryan, what was your funniest moment on the island?
Ryan O: Probably Pelican Pete coming to visit the camp and Osten being so scared of him.


RyAnRuLes0nSurvivor: Hey Ryan! What was your favorite Challenge?
Ryan O: My favorite Challenge was the Sandbag Challenge because we finally proved to everybody that we were physically stronger than the Drake tribe.


WalkThePlankMatey: I read somewhere that you said Osten had holes in his body. Explain this please.
Ryan O: Osten had pus filled holes in his body that needed to be cleaned out regularly. It was pretty disgusting. I'm not exactly sure what it was.


CyberJoeCool: Probst seems to have it in for Jon. Are there any funny/odd moments with these two that the viewers didn't get to see?
Ryan O: Too many to list. Jon and Jeff always were in verbal shouting matches.


califpeacegirl: Ryan--we enjoyed it when your shorts fell down, how much weight did you lose?
Ryan O: I lost about 17 lbs. and thanks for the compliment, I guess. [laughs] What should I say?


queenraw: Were there ever any sparks between you and Darrah?
Ryan O: I think from my point of view, yes, but from hers, no. I wasn't going to cross any boundaries because she has a boyfriend of 2 years and they plan on getting engaged.


booo: Ryan: Who do you think is the most untrustworthy person of the remaining players?
Ryan O: Out of all of 'em I would say Lill, and Jon's a close second.


fiestygirl: Ryan, are you single these days, or has some lucky lady snatched you up?
Ryan O: I'm actually single. I've been single for a while and I'm always looking.


di5c0diva: Ryan, are there any former seasons that really helped you prepare? Whose strategy do you think yours most resembles?
Ryan O: I'd say Ethan strategy-wise, but I didn't quite make it for the full distance like he did.


scooberoo: We never really saw you and Sandra interact. What was your opinion of her?
Ryan O: From the moment that she took the tarp I was a little upset with Sandra. We never really interacted at all.


FireyRedTU: Ryan, how has your family and friends reacted to seeing you on SURVIVOR, especially with that nude Challenge?
Ryan O: Everyone has been totally supportive of me. All my friends and family love to watch the show but I'm sure they're a little upset that I got voted off. As far as the nude Challenge--nobody even questioned it, [laughs], because they know me.


Castaway: Hello Ryan. Who was the stinkiest out there??
Ryan O: Rupert was by far the stinkiest, but also the hardest working.


BillyRinNC: Ryan, what has surprised you the most from the show episodes you have seen since leaving?
Ryan O: I think the editing of me has been really favorable and not so kind to some others. [laughs]
