Why will you win Survivor? "I will treat it like a poker game, you got to throw away a winning hand to win at a losing hand. You've got to be a step ahead and lie low. The one who's talking is not listening."

Why did you enter Survivor? 'I'm only home one night a week - a Tuesday - and I've followed ‘Survivor' for many years - I find the challenges and isolation interesting, but most importantly, that the jury pick the winner, so just when you thought you had an ally they can turn their back on you.'

What are the comforts you'll miss the most? 'My toilet! It's a comfortable environment - sandblasted door, TV… I have an ashtray and cigarettes, toilet paper holder the width of an espresso cup, a skylight to know time of day and a telephone. I have a rack with Playboy magazines. I'll miss it a lot.'

If you win, what would you do with a million rand? 'It's been spent already -Tracy at Porsche SA will get me one with OPM (Other People's Money) - I'll spend it on a Porsche GT3.'
