July 29 2015
AFSS: I’d like to welcome ‘Survivor: Fiji’ contestant Gary ‘Papa Smurf’ Stritesky thanks for joining us today Gary. It has been almost 9 years since you lived on an island in Fiji, what has life been like for you since that time?
Gary Stritesky: Life for me after the show has been great , it’s amazing how many people recognize you.
Now I believe you’ve spent some time living in Australia in the past Gary, can you tell us about your time living here?
We lived around Melbourne for a year and Perth for another year was a great time.
Now it is widely known that you were the only contestant from Fiji that applied to be on the show. What are your thoughts on “recruiting” contestants?
Recruiting people sucks I think you need people off the street!
Fiji is the only season to have started with an odd number of contestants, can you tell us what happened with Mellisa McNulty prior to filming starting?
Mellissa just freaked 2 days before we left for the island she just lost it!
You were elected as a leader early on in Fiji, do you see yourself as a leader in your every-day life?
I have always been a leader I just felt compelled to do it.
Were you surprised with just how big of a toll the game did take on your body?
The fire ants is what got me in physical trouble, I was allergic to them.
Much conversation has been had surrounding the “haves vs have-nots” twist, what are your thoughts on this?
The haves and have nots j think was a great idea it made you try harder.
Do you have any particular memorable moments from Fiji, that didn’t make it to air, that you would like to share with us?
We were going to paddle to a near island to butcher a goat but weren't allowed to. Go figure!
We have only seen Yau Man from Survivor: Fiji return for a future appearance, are there any castaways from Fiji that you would love to see return for a second chance?
Me and Anthony (Robinson) we would raise some new ideas.
Speaking of “Second Chances” who do you think will win in the upcoming ‘Survivor: Cambodia” Second Chance season?
I’m not too familiar with the Cambodia crew yet. We'll have to see!
