I dunno, he sounded kinda like a jerk to me in this interview. Definitely doesn't sound like a gracious loser. For him and Erin both, really, to make their revenge at Shii Ann their "best moment," well, that's just sad. I mean, think of what an experience that was and how much more they could have taken away from it.

Oh well. Thanks for posting the link and the picture, Moon

Thanks, Moon. I agree he sounds like a jerk. I'll never be able to look at him as eye candy again.

Those eyebrows are really scary! His hair looked just like it does in that horrible picture someone posted a couple of weeks ago.

I watched the interview and he did not come across as a jerk to me. There was bitterness toward Brian but Brian did ridicule him and it was fresh, he only saw that the night before. I was not a fan of Ken but he presented himself well, I thought.

Our local CBS affiliate had a short interview with Ken tonight. He wasn't here (Maine), it was a split-screen. I scribbled notes and will paraphrase it for you.
The female interviewer said he was her favorite, she wanted him to win.
Ken: Thank you very much. I wanted me to win too.
He went on to say he had tried to hide, or downplay, his physical strengths so as not to be perceived as a big threat, but the others realized it would be a bad move not to vote him off.
Interviewer: What was the problem you had with the challenge?
Ken: He replied that he had memorized the numbers, so that was not a problem. He said the first 2 maps each had 2 lines of directions on them. The 3rd map had 3 lines. He did not see the 3rd line.....and was so confused! He was thinking "what the heck is going on?" and Jeff actually had to tell him there were 3 lines on that map. <rolling my eyes>
Interviewer: Was it hard to leave your job to be on the show?
Ken: In certain ways, yes. He went on to say that his brother works with him. He came up through the police academy with (or right after, I didn't quite catch it....sorry) Ken. It is a very dangerous job. Ken found it hard to leave his brother there, he worried about him.
The interview ended with the usual niceties, lol.


It seemed to me Ken was having problems with the first and second maps, also.......one of us is confused???

Survivor Hunk's X-Rated Admission
Thursday, November 21, 2002

Turns out, Brian Heidik didn't do such a bang-up job keeping his soft-core porn past a secret from his fellow Survivor: Thailand contestants after all. "I kind of figured it out while I was there," admits ousted tribemate Ken Stafford, who got the big blow-off on last Thursday's show. "I had a conversation with Brian, and he knew people that I also knew — and there would be no other reason why he would know these people."(ed. ???!!!?)

Sadly, Stafford won't reveal what "friends" he and Heidik have in common — Shannon Tweed, possibly? — but the 30-year-old NYC cop does confess that he "wasn't surprised" to learn that his reality show rival starred in such cable classics as Virgins of Sherwood Forest and The Pleasure Zone. "He's an adult," adds Stafford. "He can do what he chooses to do. If he doesn't have a problem with it, nobody else should."

Actually, Stafford says it was the potential for a Survivor-style backlash that kept him from exposing Heidik's prior employment. "There are some people on the show who are very conservative, and that might have worked against him," he says. "I would never in any way hinder anyone's chances to win the $1 million."

Spoken like one of Big Apple's finest — and if you saw Stafford parading around Koh Tarutao with his shirt off, you know that we do mean finest. In fact, many were dismayed that it was Heidik — and not Mr. Lawman himself — with the adult film experience. A peek into Stafford's mailbox all but confirms this. "Some girl sent pastries to me at the precinct, and when I opened up the box, there were naked pictures of her and dirty undergarments as well," laughs the ex-construction worker, who, believe it or not, didn't respond with a restraining order. "I called her and I thanked her for the kind gesture... She was a very attractive young lady."

Did Stafford share his, um, special treat with his colleagues at the 79th Precinct? "No, I'm a very private person," he says. "That's between her and I. Nobody else has to know about that."

Well, our lips are sealed. — Michael Ausiello

Square, that was too much information!!! LOL! :)

Ken sounded much more gracious to me in this interview, particularly because he could have done a number on Brian among the conservatives.

LOL Square, me neither!

The thing about this interview that's been gnawing at me all day was finally better expressed by Xabana over at SS.

That is--why would Ken even make the point of--he didn't say anything that would influence anyone/lose anyone $1mill--if Brian doesn't make F2????

Discuss.

i think by saying 'hindering anyone's chances', he didn't necessarily mean brian got to F2. to me, it seemed like he just didn't want to be responsible for any trouble another person got over their occupation. which makes even less sense. this is a game, and for big bucks. i also think if it would have helped to oust brian, he would have used the porn knowledge against brian. if he truly thought conservative people might have had a problem, wouldn't he have used it to further himself?

I think Ken is full of... He didn't know about Brian's porn background, or he would have told someone else. He might have thought it was odd that Brian "knew people that I (Ken) also knew". But if he brought it up other survivors would have asked "well, how do you know these people??"

So, now I ask, "How does Ken know people in the adult entertainment industry???"

Exactly!

In the game--use it.

Out of the game -- in the jury -- who knows how Ken might feel?

Short, that's exactly what I was thinking when i read that article.

I also think that Ken came across as much nicer in that shorter TV Guide interview because the journalist has a crush on him. If you read TV Guide Online regularly (I do), you notice that Michael Ausiello fawns over any attractive or openly gay man.

Not judging. Just noticing.
