QuinntheEskimo: Do you guys at least appreciate the opportunity to play the game? Thousands apply to no avail...
Shawn: 100%. I think I'm more than lucky to have had this opportunity. It's an amazing game and an even more unbelievable experience. I wish everyone else could have the opportunity I had.
Osten: Yeah, definitely I appreciated the opportunity to play the game.


justwhatever: If the situation was reversed and you were voted off earlier, wouldn't you be pretty happy to get a second chance? Shawn: Of course; who wouldn't be? But that still doesn't change the fact that the people who are still in the game deserve to be there, not the people who have already been voted out.


Osten: Absolutely; I'd definitely be happy. I don't place the blame on the people voted out; I place the game on the producer.


meow: Osten, how about you? Would you pose for Playgirl?
Osten: [laughs] No, I would not pose for Playgirl. Gotta have morals in life.


Osten_Is_A_LOSER: Who was a better mascot, Balboa or Pelican Pete? And Osten, how come you were so afraid of Pete?
Osten: I wasn't afraid of Pete. The producers told us that the pelicans were carrying diseases and were sick, and I didn't want to catch anything, so I wanted to behead them!


Chaos28: Osten, why did you not leave Final Words after your torch was snuffed?
Osten: I did leave Final Words but as a way to get back at me they didn't show my Final Words.


Pearl_SURVIVOR: Have you guys reintegrated into normal life yet, or are you laying low until the season ends?
Osten: I reintegrated into life just fine the second I got back to Boston.
Shawn: I've been livin' it up in L.A. ever since I got back.


AmyLynneDavis: What were your final words, Osten?
Osten: That I didn't regret anything, had a good time and said rest in peace to a couple of my friends that died before I left for the show.


bearbite: You guys say you've watched past SURVIVORs. In your opinion, who is the best to have ever played the game?
Shawn: That's a good question. I really don't have a favorite.
Osten: I really don't have a favorite.


sundowner: So Osten, you don't think much of Jeff, did all the SURVIVOR: PEARL ISLANDS group have similar opinions?
Osten: Other people had similar opinions, yeah.


linda: What did you guys do after you left SURVIVOR? I'm assuming you couldn't go home right away.
Shawn: We lived it up and went on a nice little tour of Panama.
Osten: After we left the island we went on a painful and nauseating trip up and down Panama.


Xavier: Why do you think that they still wanna keep Jon in the tribe?
Shawn: I think that the twist had a lot to do with that. The prospect of individuals from my alliance coming back, I think, was the driving force in their decision. Not to mention that they probably saw me as a threat in the event of a merge.


SURVIVORfan: Was anything edited out that you wish had been shown on TV?
Osten: Yeah, on one of the days, July 10th, I wrote "Happy Birthday" to my sister in the sand, and they didn't show it on the show. They didn't show the commaraderie, I think, between the Morgan tribe.
Shawn: They didn't show how I probably didn't sleep more than twenty minutes to an hour a night and spent most of my nights up all night in front of the fire.


nicola: What has playing the game taught you about interpersonal relationships?
Shawn: It actually taught me how to communicate better and how not to let my emotions get in the way.
Osten: Nothing about the game taught me about interpersonal relationships. I already know about that through the industry I am in and work for.


SURVIVORfan: In your opinion, who is the most strategic of the remaining players?
Osten: I would say Andrew.
Shawn: Good question.


Osten_Is_A_LOSER: If there had been a merge, who would you have created alliances with?
Shawn: As far as I'm concerned I was already in the process of creating one with Rupert and integrating myself into his alliance.
Osten: I would have kept the alliance true with the Morgan tribe.


boooo: Osten, do you think Andrew was a good leader for the tribe?
Osten: Without question. Andrew's an exceptional person with great people skills and is just an overall good leader and good person.


ROGNA: Shawn, do you regret talking smack about Burton the night he was voted out?
Shawn: I wouldn't say I regret it, but given the circumstances I was in, I was caught off guard, and that's the way I handled it at the moment.


milli: Was your family embarrassed when you where naked in the first Challenge?
Osten: Absolutely not. There was nothing to be embarrassed or ashamed about.


Bobcat: After seeing the show on TV, did you see anything for the first time that surprised you?
Shawn: Yeah, I never knew that Rupert had such a dislike for me in the beginning of the show and felt threatened by Burton and myself.
Osten: Yeah, last night at the Challenge when we had to make a pole to grab the keys, we had to use twine, but the Outcast team used twine and their little armbands.
Shawn: Yeah, good point.


Lerg: Do you guys think SUVIVOR will have a large impact on your life in the future? If so, how?
Shawn: I already think it's had a huge impact on my life. It taught me a lot about who I am and what I can do as an individual, and I believe that will play out for the rest of my life.
Osten: SURVIVOR hasn't done anything for me. It was a good experience, but I didn't learn anything about myself.


SURVIVOR Host: I am sorry to say that our hour with Osten and Shawn is up. Guys, thanks so much for being here to chat with us today. Do you have any final comments for the SURVIVOR fans?
