Part 2/2
Julie - Let's talk about Rupert. Burton ( kinda laughs) says Rupert !! Julie - Why do you laugh? Because he had some ...... You know what? He had some words about you - we have a clip. Let's hear what he had to say. Burton - OK Clip of Burton pointing to the whole in Rupert's skirt - Rupert saying it's like high school- saying Burton was being a idiot laughing at him - saying "pretty boy jock ass idiot always have to pick on me" back to Burton and Julie Julie - Ouch Burton - it sounds like he's back in high school if you ask me - I don't know - some insecurities coming out ?? I mean we're out there playing a game - You got to try to have fun and we're all joking around as friends. I was not trying to pick on him, hurt his feelings I don't know - he took it the wrong way. Julie - You were jealous he had a nicer skirt than you did? Burton - laughs - that's right I didn't have a skirt Julie - exactly that is why you were jealous - he had a skirt and you didn't. Burton - Exactly. Julie - we have some callers on the line - our first caller is Julie from Penn. Julie - what is your question for Burton ? Julie - My question for Burton is in your opinion - how did Rupert interact with the whole tribe compared to how we saw it on TV now that the game is over? Burton - that's a great question - Rupert actually didn't interact that much. No one really knew what he was doing. He would fish for 4-5 hours a day and it was great because he would bring in food, I would also go out but only go out for an hour or two. but, he really was ... he really stayed pretty much to himself so no one really knew what was going on and that's one reason I approached him. I didn't know if he talked to anyone in the alliance.So, Rupert was himself pretty much to himself a lot in the end. Julie - Thank you Julie - Our next caller is Lori from Oregon. Lori - Hi Burton - So excited to talk to you this morning. Burton - good to hear you Lori - You were one of the nicest guys that Survivor ever has had. Burton - Thank you Lori - My question is - was Jon really as confident about the game as it seemed? Or do you think that was his strategy? Burton - You know I think Jon was walking on egg shells a lot of the game but hewas rubbing people the wrong way - but he did know the game well and he was a good strategic player and obviously he could lie well. So, I mean maybe he was really confident, but in everyone's opinion, I'm sure it was on the game. He was pretty much always on egg shells and that was why he was kinda scrambling and lying, But he was a great strategic player, so you know I give him credit for that. Julie - Thank you Lori. Out next caller is Shirley from Orlando Florida, Go ahead Shirley Shirley - Hi Burton - This is Shirley (last name) from Orlando, Florida - - I'm sorry they booted you off. If given a chance would you do survivor all over again? Burton - without a question. It was an amazing experience. A great game. One of the most difficult games you can ever imagine. If you were to play it again with the same group of people, every single thing would be different so I would do it in a heartbeat. Julie - But would you have played it the same way? Because it looked like the kiss of death for you was when you had the late night talk with Rupert. Burton - See, that talk - by the way - lasted about an hour. and It was us going back and forth giving a little bit of information here and getting a little bit more and going on and on. It wasn't me just going up to Rupert and saying - Hey let's throw this challenge. It had all been talked about. Would I have done it again? Yes. I was swinging from fences, I was going to strike out or hit a home run. I wasn't going to sit there and go along with the ride. Julie - Burton Roberts - Thank you so much Burton - Thank you.
