Funny snippets from Goddess Kathleen's RNO interview:

Kathy: Pretty much anything I thought was going to happen, the second we got into the boat for that opening shot kind of changed. It's odd how you can see little cliques forming even before you can speak to each other. I saw that coming and said uh oh. I said, like wow, am I like the oldest person here? Where are my Yau-Mans? Where are my Rudys?

Kathy: Yeah. I knew that, but as I told Jeff, it just gives me hope that I'll be one step closer. I was watching the show last night and said that girl, whoever she was, she looked really happy to get on that boat. It was amazing the isolation out there, when I lost Tracy and Chet. And I got really close to Jonathan, and then when he left, I was like, "oh crap." James and Amanda had each other, Alexis and Natalie [had bonded]. Eliza, I love her to death, but she can be… not real welcoming. I felt complete and utter isolation out there. When Penner left, that kind of killed me. I said I've got to be the unluckiest person on the island. Everyone I bond with is gone.


Kathy: I have been much better. I came home and I looked at my husband and I said, "What the hell have I done?" But I have to tell you, besides marrying my husband and giving birth to my daughter, that was the third happiest moment, getting on that boat. It was a sense of hope, it was hopeless. I tried so hard to get in with people, and I lost Tracy and Chet and Penner left the show, I couldn't get in with anybody. It just - I was really happy when I got on that boat.


Kathy: I loved James, such a gentleman, funny, we had lots of conversations. But I had to tell him, you're such a low talker - on China you had subtitles! (laughs) Jonathan and I laying in the shelter. I asked him some things about his mother and asked if he was picked for that. He said no, it was because he is Jewish. I said I didn't know you were Jewish. Why are they mad at Jews? Is it because they killed Jesus? {I feel I should note that Kathy was laughing about this the whole time she told the stories and it was obviously another Kathy moment, much like earlier in the show with Chet - it wasn't offensive like it might seem in print.} We had a lot of fun conversations.

Parvati, I love her. What they showed of her on Cook Islands - she would flirt with a coconut. She's a sweet, sweet person. Of all the people I'm most surprised of, it's her. She talks and acts that way to everybody - guys, women, trees, dirt, whatever. She's a very sweet person. She of all people surprised me, meeting her and getting to know her.

Kathy: I guess Joel going that he didn't like me as a person - and I'm like, what the hell did I do to you? He kind of was a bully out there.

Kathy: Here comes the part my husband said I have to practice. Let's see if I can say this with a straight face: (Adopting a somewhat robotic tone.) It was a wonderful experience, I'm so glad I actually got to live a dream that I had. It was a once in a lifetime opportunity and it hammered home the fact that if you don't have family you don't have anything. (Loosening up a bit.) It just reinforced some facts some things in life for me, what are important and what's not. (Back to robotic.) I'm so happy for the opportunity. (Laughing.) Is this sounding believable?

RNO: (Also laughing.) Not so much.

Kathy: Darn it, I have to work on that. But it was the most horrid wretched experience of my life. To actually do it and live the dream and meet my favorites, even though I know they are regular Joes who happened to be on TV before me. It was an experience that really hammered home priorities for me.

They kept asking me out there if I would ever do it again. Why would you come and do it twice? And they're calling me crazy?! That's crazy! (Laughing.)
