Peter on Early Show 3/1
Seamonkey | Friday, March 01, 2002 - 09:58 am     Did anyone else see this? My impression was that amazingly he looked (other than shaving) the same. Still the blazing white teeth (bringing to mind the Friends episode where Ross had the scary teeth whitening result). He insisted that it was cool he was the first off, and the first man off. Said his kids are getting a puppy because that was the deal, if he got on Survivor, they got a puppy, but they just found out before the airing of this episode, so they are happy. I don't know if these are clues to others who were off early (that he got to know), but he mentioned bug bites and that "poor Sarah" was bitten all over. He said Vecepia was a real sweetheart. The prayer scene: he said that Sean had been very seasick and worked hard trying to paddle on the way in and was really really grateful to be on land and that was the background on the prayer. He said there was lots of food, the grapefruits were different but really good. He again said he was never really comfortable. Said that Mark Burnett flew in after Peter was first off and suggested that he use the time for self improvement, so Peter started running and is now planning on running the Boston Marathon. Must be a slow news day; I thought they spent quite a lot of airtime on him. |

Urgrace | Friday, March 01, 2002 - 11:43 am     Hi Seamonkey. You came back! I saw Peter, too, and he said he and his wife told their kids that while he was away he was in Africa. The kids were not told about him being in Survivor until the first show, because he had promised they could have a puppy if he ever got on the show. It sounded like he didn't really want to get a dog and put it off as long as he could. He also said he didn't mind being called 'Fruit Loop'! LOL |

Moondance | Friday, March 01, 2002 - 07:17 pm     From Survivor Fever Peter's Final CBS Web Chat - 3/01/02 * What emotions are you going through, being the first voted off? You know what? I felt a tad miserable until the next morning until I learned to appreciate what just happened and the pain went away. * Do you have any regrets about telling your tribe mates your voting strategy? No, my purpose for going on the show was to have an experience and to be genuine. I wanted to be straight to the people. My goal was to get as many of my team members to the jury as possible. Let's see how the strategy of my team mates works out.Ê I wish them the best. * Why do you think you were booted off so early? I've been told by people in California that they didn't like my smile. Truth be told, when I'm feeling uncomfortable I often have a smile. Often at funerals people come up to me to let me know I'm smiling. I've been told that I smile in my sleep. * How bad was the boat ride to the island? In the tuna boat it was challenging in that we were below deck without much ventilation. A couple of people did get sick. I was fortunate to manage without getting ill. It was really lousy to be on the ocean when you are sick. Those that got sick had my sympathy. * Was it hard to get to the beach from that fishing boat? How long did it take Yes it was difficult. The current was very strong. We were hardly moving until we got into a different flow. I lost sense of time, it must have been hours. I got blisters on my left hand from rowing. * Were you surprised that they gave you guys no food? No, the natives have been living on that island. There was ample food and we were able to find water. * What did you think of Rotu's waterfall? Did they have it too easy? I couldn't tell from watching the show. The waterfall looked beautiful but I believe the Survivor staff would try to make the sites as balanced and equal as possible. * Do you think that Hunter taking charge will be an advantage or disadvantage? It's a funny and unpredictable game. I'd only be guessing. I'll be glued to the TV set. * Why were you talking about holes so much? It was only a couple of minutes and we were there for 3 days. I have those conversations frequently with the people that I care for. My heart was open to my fellow contestants and I wanted to share my thoughts with them. * What did you think of Sarah? Sarah is just Sarah. She puts herself forward as she is. Like her or not I respect that about Sarah. She's a strong person. * How did your expectations compare to what you experienced on the show? My expectations were that it would be challenging. It was especially on a social level. Physically it may have actually been easier than I thought but please note I was only there for 3 days. * What happens after you were given your little speech about being voted off, where were you taken? They take us to a nearby, I think they refer it as a safe house where I had dinner and craved a soda. I took a nice long shower and went to bed. We left the safe house and went to the other side of the island before sunrise. Security was tight and secrecy was very important to the crew. I stayed on the other side of the island awaiting the arrival of more contestants.Ê But don't feel sorry for me <laughs>. I was fortunate to go scuba diving, tuna fishing, running along the coast, swimming with the manta rays, kayaking and processing the wonderful events that have taken place. * Are you normally that weird in life or is it just an act for the show? Thank you for the compliment but what you saw is me. * Did you encounter any dangerous animals while on the show? No, annoying no-nos and crabs crawling on us at night. * Did you leave your cologne behind for the rest of the team? I was not given that option. * Who do you feel the most comfortable with and why? Sean and Vecepia. Rob and Sarah were in love.Ê Gina and Hunter were falling in love. Tricia was just a couple of years older than me and I couldn't call her "mom". I was able to have real conversations with Sean and Vee. Even when I knew my number was up Sean was encouraging me to be positive and Vee's eyes were filled with compassion. * What did you think about Rob chasing wild chickens and why was Hunter so bent out of shape about it? I thought it was funny and I was looking forward to having Rob as a tribe mate. I thought Hunter was truly going to vote Rob off and I did not appreciate that. * What was the worst part about being on Survivor? The third day when I knew a deal had been struck and my fate decided. It was frustrating and uncomfortable being with the five. I had vowed to myself that I would not try to take someone else down to delay my departure. * Were there moments that didn't air last night that you felt should have been shown? I was very happy with the show. I laughed repeatedly throughout the show. It was all perfect. * I can see the strain between you and Patricia. What's up with that? I don't feel there was any strain. * You said earlier that "the love was so real you could smell it". Can you elaborate?Ê What was said/done? When you see two people in love, no explanation is necessary. It's as clear as the sun being up. * Upon arriving what was your first impression of Rotu tribe? Did you see them as a tough tribe to beat? I thought it was silly that at one moment there's sixteen of us as a unit and the next a line is drawn and someone says "8 of you belong in one tribe and 8 of you belong in another". * Why did your tribe have such difficulty lighting the torches in the challenge? I was on the other side of the canoe. I heard a lot of swearing and splashing. I didn't actually see what was going on but I was told that somehow it got knocked over and water put out some flames. * What was the funniest thing to happen to you on the island? I loved the music with the chicken chase. I was hysterical on that one. I loved Rob's comment about fruit loops. He lives a half hour from me. I'm going to make him eat a box of fruit loops at my kitchen table. Rob's got a big, big heart. * Did you get any training as to deadly animal or plant life from CBS as a precursor? We arrived in Nuku Hiva and got familiarized with local flora and fauna and marine life that can kill. * Will you have Survivor theme nights at your bowling alley? I did not do Survivor for business reasons but that is a good idea,Ê thanks for the suggestion. * How did you and everyone else cope with bathroom facilities? Remember, I was only there 3 days and there wasn't much "movement" <laughs> * What was the cologne for? What other luxury items were on your list? The cologne served a practical purpose. It has an alcohol base and is similar to lighter fluid. I'm amazed the people on the internet didn't figure that one out. Other things selected were: a Bible, yoga text, a picture of my children, but I tricked the producers and told them all I wanted to do was smell pretty on the island. Ha Ha. * Was there much talking on the boat before being dumped near the island? No talking allowed until we were in the water.Ê The only conversations were the grunts of people vomiting. * Among all of you, who puked? Sarah and Sean for sure. Vee might have. * What is Mark Burnett like? One word, integrity. * How much clothing were you allowed to bring? Minimal. A couple shirts, a couple pairs of footwear. One long pair of pants, one short pair, a bathing suit and socks that were ruined after the first couple of days. Foot issues became a concern for all. * It didn't look like anyone was working hard to put a roof overhead, why was that? Rain was not in the forecast. * Would you have fared better on the other tribe? Woulda, coulda, shoulda... * How did your kids react to you getting voted out first? They were fine with it, they are getting a dog, life is good. * What kind of dog? Were getting a yellow lab. We are trying to decide what to name him. My wife wants Jack, I want Maury because that was my alias when we traveled and I got attached to it. * Are you going to do David Letterman? My information is that Letterman is on vacation. * Would you do it again, Peter? I am having the time of my life.Ê The answer is YES! * Any final words? I think the show is going to be a lot of fun to watch. I am so curious to see if the love blossoms that I think is inevitable. We'll find out together. Thank you and goodbye. |
Knightpatti | Friday, March 01, 2002 - 07:27 pm     Perfume for lighter fluid. Smart! Love is everywhere according to him. Guess that does leave Patricia out. If they think like BB2, though, the power of 2 must be broken. When you are in love you don't do much thinking do you? Except about each other. I do not think this is the game for romance if you want to win. |
Yuhuru | Friday, March 01, 2002 - 07:45 pm     Peter seems like the coolest guy (and also a little weird). |
Gina8642 | Saturday, March 02, 2002 - 01:43 pm     Interesting that he sees so much romance in the air. Wonder what that will do to the mix. The BB2 "power of 2" should be less pronounced here because strength of the tribe is more important until the merge. 'Course you wouldn't want to vote out your sweetie..... Should be interesting. I like Gina and Hunter together. They both strike me as nice people. I think they'd be good together. |
