It would be highly rude of me to filter out these questions in their faces, so I'm posting my favorite questions (as of 2-3-2016 7:55 UTC):


 * 1) Marksrenaissancelife: "Hey, big fan. 1.) Tell me a couple of behind the scenes facts about Survivor that'd blow this fan's mind; and 2.) If you could've taken part in any other Survivor season, which one?"
 * 2) Copper5: "In your interview with Rob, you said that Kelly (Wiglesworth) hated Spencer. Could you elaborate on that?"
 * 3) Survivor1234: "Who is in the Wine and Cheese alliance?"
 * 4) IAmNothing712: "Hi Stephen, pleasure to see you here! It's an honor to have you here. 1.) It's been a given that you were very apprehensive about having alpha-males on your tribe, what set Jeremy from Joe and Savage that made you align with him? 2.) How do you think producing seasons in reverse affects the evolution of Survivor strategy? 3.) Kelly Wiglesworth had little to no airtime, yet from my understanding, you implied that Kelly actually was playing a brilliant social game hence why you blindsided her. Can you elaborate on how big of a threat she was when we barely saw a thing about her? 4.)  Was Abi Maria actually not as insufferable? 4.) I see you and Spencer being on the same archetype, the Survivor nerd. Had you and Spencer switched places at the time of the null vote, what would you have done?"
 * 5) LukePrower: How fun is the wildlife on the show, and how hard was it to get on the show?
 * 6) SonOfMyRightHand: "At final six Immunity Challenge (Tocantins), how were you able to memorize all of those symbols in one go?"
 * 7) M4Milo: "Stephen, big fan of you as a player, podcasting and your people.com blog. You always preface your People blogs with a Survivor quote, and this last season you did so each with a quote from the castaway voted out that week. So my question is: Where do you get these quotes from? Thanks and can't wait to have you back on Know-it-Alls."
 * 8) John D-Bone: "What is your favorite Boys II Men song?"
 * 9) 0bobslob: "Stephen, what do you have to say to Survivor Wikia after it was the place that Savage got his info to target you? Did Savage ever tell you about his wiki experience?"
 * 10) Tanglefrost: "I have a physical disability which causes my leg muscles to be slightly weaker than the average person, yet I am considering applying for my local version (Australia) of Survivor. What would your advice be to someone like me, both auditioning and playing, who has immediately had the physical aspect of their game taken away?"
 * 11) NoaNa: "What made you decide to go on Survivor the first time?"
 * 12) Jonghyun408: "In both your seasons, which season's condition is more harder to live in?"
 * 13) DryIceBros: "1.) Are there any non-strategic moments that you experienced on Cambodia that the fans never saw that you wish CBS (or whatever you call the people in charge :P) shared? 2.) Are there any types of people that you think should never play Survivor? You can interpret this however you want."
 * 14) NotLiam: "If everyone from Cambodia was a sandwich, what type would you be?"
 * 15) WitchesCoven0717: "Can you give us one production secret?"
 * 16) TribalChants: "Hey Stephen! It's a honour to be talking to you man. Here's my questions: 1.) Before Cambodia, were you asked back for other seasons that included returning players (like Heroes vs. Villains or the first Blood vs. Water)? If you were asked to return for the latter, who was your partner in consideration? 2.) The episode Monica was voted out, during the Immunity Challenge were you "accidently" scored a point for Angkor (which I thought was your funniest moment btw LOL), did you really do that by mistake or was it intentional? I heard a rumour it was intentional because your tribe wanted Monica out."
 * 17) ILoveschool71: "If Joe hadn't been evacuated in Tocantins, do you think you still would've made it to the end?"
 * 18) Crazybone5000: "Was Cambodia a tougher experience both element and gameplay wise?"
 * 19) Ckarimalis: "Of all the people you've competed with, who had the worst island B.O.?"
 * 20) Zjzr: "1.) Which castaways have you changed your view after living with them? 2.) Probably my most awaited question, and it is a bit technical: so during the epic Final 6, as a Know-it-All seeing the possibility of one person being only eligible by the rock was very rare. However, do you think they should've let Kimmi and Tasha do the fire-making challenge instead, because it would make the reason for having a fire-making challenge meaningless (i.e. Final 4 only having 1 eligible by the rock)? What is your view about tiebreakers and general, and is the rock drawing tiebreaker actually good, or does it just speed up Pagongings? Also, do targets plea their case when there is a tie vote (like in early seasons) but just unaired? Also, do you think during the revote at Final 6 (i.e. the one they said verbally) it should have been a private, written vote for consistency's sake, as verbal public voting could influence decisions made by others? I mean it is their right to have their votes in secret right?"
 * 21) Turbofrog: "Had Kelley made it to the FTC and Jeremy be the final juror, who do you think everyone would have voted to win?"
 * 22) DVMP: "1.) Do you think there was any part of your personality that was different on the edited show than in real life? 2.) What part of winning Survivor is more appealing, the million dollars, or the title of Sole Survivor? 3.) What advice do you have for applicants so they can get on the show?"
 * 23) Castaway 39: "What do you do to pass the time at camp?"
 * 24) Ratchael: "I heard that you could speak french, so could you please say something in my language to your french fans?"
 * 25) Clay Thompson: "I'm a big fan! Thank you so much for answering our questions. I became old enough to play about a year ago and have been studying the game to prepare for my application. 1.) What would be your number one tip for people wanting to be on Survivor, not from a "how to have a good application" standpoint but from a preparation standpoint. 2.) Once on the show, what traits of personality/ability jump out to you as especially helpful? And which ones do you consider especially stifling to success? 3.) I'm not sure if you're allowed to speak about this, but what is the situation with luxury items in modern Survivor? I'm currently rewatching The Australian Outback and things like Colby's flag and Tina's backgammon set are heavily featured. Are the luxury items still a feature, and if so are they more heavily restricted now? i.e. No giant flags for shelter roofs?"
 * 26) SurvivorFan6156: "Do you play video games? What are some of your favorites?"
 * 27) Jal3539: "Can you tell the story about how you were initially cast for Tocantins?"
 * 28) KatiePats: "Hi Stephen! You've always been one of my favorite castaways due to how much Survivor means to you. Your Ponderosa video stood out to me because you immediately took some time for yourself to reflect. How has being on Survivor change you not as a player, but as a person? I thought you were becoming a stronger and more confident man throughout Tocantins and then BAM! The brutal FTC where people you were close to tore you down. Do you feel like you got to represent yourself better in Second Chances? Finally, did you get everything out of your Second Chance that you were wanting to? Thanks so much! Sorry for the prying questions but I feel like the psychological part of Survivor is extremely under appreciated."
 * 29) That Yellow Top: "Do you think Tasha had a loyalty complex after what she went through in Cagayan where no one would play with her except for Spencer who was her only ally? I feel that's the reason she didn't want to turn on Jeremy. Also, do you think Tasha could have beaten Abi-Maria in a final two scenario? I feel she would get votes from you, Jeremy, Savage, Spencer, Joe, and possibly Wiglesworth and Keith. Or was their no scenario whatsoever that Tasha wins?"
 * 30) KidLego09: "If the final tribal council was Kimmi, Kelley, and Keith, and they all gave convincing arguments, who'd you vote for to win?"
 * 31) NiceDrewishFella: "Hi Stephen, thanks for giving fans this forum. I enjoy returning player seasons.... but do you feel like returning players often try to live up to the "character" they created in their first season? And if so, do you feel like it ultimately helps or hurts their game?"
 * 32) Not David Brown: "What are some of the most severe physical effects that you or other players suffered during or after the show?"
 * 33) Zpyker124: "What is your favorite and least favorite challenge from either of the two seasons you played?"
 * 34) WhoVotedForLex: "Have your Survivor experiences fuelled any thirst for further travel? Which specific countries or areas would you like to visit in the future?"
 * 35) Surferdude1219: "1.) The extra vote advantage has been tried twice now, and both times it hasn't worked. Do you think there's still hope for this advantage, and how can it be changed to make it more user-friendly? and 2.) Finally, I was actually reading Macbeth WHILE Cambodia was premiering, so I got to see all the Three Witches references unfold. Also, I looked at some passages in Moby Dick as examples in Latin class. My question is: Was one of your goals this season to relate contestants to classic literature figures, or did it just kind of happen? Thanks so much, and I can't wait to see you back on Know-It-Alls!"
 * 36) CLCatastrophe: "Hi Stephen, my all-time fave! I have a question based on something you and Rob discussed on RHAP about the imperfect Survivor jury system and whether it's flawed. I tend to agree with you that maybe there is no perfect jury system and that the existing jury system is part of the game; HOWEVER, do you think the results (who wins) would drastically change if jurors had to cast their votes immediately after being voted out? (Perhaps with a ranked voting system, since they wouldn't yet know who the final two/three are yet.) How much do you think being in the jury impacts how people vote? Or, in other words, do you think people already know who they're going to vote for right after getting voted out and that they stick with that? Thanks! - Christina"
