Survivor Host: Hi Big Tom! Thanks for being here today. Are you ready to take some questions?
Big Tom: Yeah man! Let's let it rip!

One_Finger_Bandit: Big Tom, after you were voted off, you stopped on the plank and gave Boston Rob a hard stare, were you trying to send a message to him?
Big Tom: Yeah, I was sending a message. I wanted him to know my butt was in the catbird seat, and his fate would be in my hands if he makes it to the Final Two.

cleo: You looked pretty pissed at Rob. How mad were you?
Big Tom: I was mad enough that if I could have just got a hold of him I would have felt a whole lot better. Just a little before that we made a handshake deal that we were going to vote out Jenna.

WindyCityJo: Tom, how do you feel when you watch the show and hear how Rob talked about you?
Big Tom: It really doesn't bother me, that's part of the game. But talking about my son, well you're walking on thin ice and it pisses me off. That's family. My son's out there enjoying the game, I'm the one playing the game. I treat his family with respect--his brother--and for him to talk about my son, that shows no class.

Hotmama: Big Tom! What do you think about Sue getting an extreme makeover?
Big Tom: [laughs] I don't know anything about it, but she'd be a perfect candidate! Is she going to get a new broom too? Gimme that guy's number who's making over Sue, maybe I'll get me one of those too.

boris: Is Rob such a despicable human being in real life?
Big Tom: When you first see Rob, it's like a dog coming across the yard and you want to pet it and say good doggy. Then you get busy, the dog goes away, and you go through the yard and step in dog poop. Then you try to wipe it off your shoes, you can't get it off, and everywhere you go it smells like dog poop. Same way with Rob.

gotommy: Tom, other than your family, what is the one thing that you missed the most while on the island? Big Tom: I guess it'd be a big glass of milk and a cheeseburger... Yeah, and my watch. I about wore my arm out looking at it and looking for a watch.

texastwo: Tom--who smelled the worst?
Big Tom: Rob, cause he remind me of that dog poop.

Marlena: Big Tom! What was the funniest thing that happened to you out there and who made you laugh the most?
Big Tom: The funniest thing I guess would have to be walking on those rocks -- it was kind of like walking on sheep snot. Those are the slickest rocks I ever seen. I had to laugh at myself, here's this 280-pound man walking around and slipping on rocks.

DanieuBleau: Hi Tom, why didn't you go with Rupert and Jenna and vote off Amber?
Big Tom: I had an alliance with Rob and Amber from day one, and we outnumbered them. I'd be putting myself on the chop block of I did vote off Amber. During the course of Survivor, the original tribe members who stick together make it to the end.

that_Canadian_Rice: Tom, if each of the remaining Survivors were farm animals, what would they be?
Big Tom: [laughs] Rob would be the dog; Rupert be a horse, a big old work horse; Jenna be a chicken, like a rooster, doing that crowing thing all the time, 24/7; Amber, she would just be that cute thing on the farm, we'd put her in the petting zoo. And I know Sue left early, but she be a goat.

Bunky_Beaux: Tom, you and Sue called each other names all the time, so I'm wondering was there sexual tension between you two?
Big Tom: [laughs] Yeah, there was! There was sexual frustration among us. Because every time I look at her I forget about sex.

stupidityabounds: Big Tom, what exactly did you, Rupert and Jenna discuss when Rob and Amber were at the drive-in?
Big Tom: Popcorn, hot dogs, Pepsi. We did not basically discuss the game. Which might have been a big mistake on me and Jenna's part. We didn't discuss it.

SammyJo: Big Tom! Besides Survivor, what reality show do you like the most and would you be on another reality show?
Big Tom: Sure, I'd like to be on another reality show. That'd be great. I'd like to do THE AMAZING RACE with Lex, because Lex is a smart guy who speaks three languages and I have the common sense. If I were a single guy I'd like to be on a show with some chicks.

Misty: You and Rupert were buddies up until the pecking order meal, is that why you didn't choose him and his wife Laura to join you on the Reward?
Big Tom: No. The reason I didn't choose him is not because of that cold tater he gave me. I can't stand to see a 40-year-old man act like a seventh grader with his wife, with that dry humping there. I can't stand it.

SunnyD: Hey Tom, what do you think about the riding coattails strategy?
Big Tom: Well, if it works don't knock it. Everybody's got their own plan and agenda. Every decision ends up being a part of the game.

WindyCityJo: Tom, who were you most mad at for voting you off, Rupert or Rob?
Big Tom: Definitely Rob. I wasn't mad at Rupert; he did what he had to do. I had an alliance with Rob.

that_PurpleParty_Hat: Tom, I will miss your singing. Whey did you trust Rob and Amber?
Big Tom: I made a pact with the devil the very first day, which was Rob and Amber, and I stuck with it. Any other move, well, the numbers just weren't there. It was just Lex, Kathy, then Shii Ann. You realize at the merge the original tribe had won, all we had to do was vote along tribal lines and it would have ended up us five. Rob wouldn't have had to do all the big thinking he's trying to do now. Why play dirty, when you could have went right down the line? No reason, which would not have burned himself on the jury if he were to make it to the Final Two.
