'''Okay guys, so as I have said in the facebook group, my word processor on my computer shut down, so I got very far behind in interviews and stuff. So this will be a double episode interview with Alfons with an all star announcement in the middle. Hope you enjoy it!'''

​Charley:  Alright guys, so we are here with a two time player, a winner, and an

ORG legend, Alfons. Alfons, how are you?



Alfons: Going absolutely great. It's a great time for the ORG, ain't it just?



Charley: It is, quite a lot of stuff happening right now. So how was your experience playing in a season?



Alfons: Playing in a season back then wasn't so much of a blessing as it is now. 'Back in old times' (pre Maji era) everyone used to play for the title, not to be in an All-Stars/Revival season and whatnot.. Pre-Maji era means before Matt and Jino infamously quit from Switzerland by the way. That's when I believe the ORG was changed forever.



Charley: Why do you think it was changed?



Alfons: It's one of those cases where 'it just did'. After then there seemed to be less inactives, less sockpuppets (excluding some close calls and one whom I think could very well be one)..

Seasons simply seemed to have simply gotten better since that fateful day



Charley: Well, you haven't only played in a season, but you've hosted them as well, how is that like?



Alfons: Hosting's great fun. Picking challenges, having the 'best seat in the house' of watching everything unfold, reading confessionals as they come in, working on media such as buffs/intro/etc, and much much more.

<p align="LEFT" style="margin-right:0.26cm;margin-top:0.03cm;border-style:none;padding:0cm;line-height:0.29cm;">

<p style="text-align: LEFT; margin-right:1.32cm;margin-bottom:0cm;border- style:none;padding:0cm;line-height:138%;">Alfons: Two words: Hell yes.

<p align="LEFT" style="margin-right:0.26cm;margin-top:0.03cm;border-style:none;padding:0cm;line-height:0.29cm;">

<p style="text-align: LEFT; margin-right:1.32cm;margin-bottom:0cm;border-style:none;padding:0cm;line-height:138%;">Charley: Would you ever play again if offered?

<p align="LEFT" style="margin-right:0.26cm;margin-top:0.03cm;border-style:none;padding:0cm;line-height:0.29cm;">

<p style="text-align: LEFT; margin-right:1.32cm;margin-bottom:0cm;border-style:none;padding:0cm;line-height:138%;">Alfons: Yes I would. But it would depend on the type of season. I'd probably have to wait until all the 'ALFONS IS AMAZING' stuff dies down too. There's no way I can go into an ORG without a massive target on my back nowadays.

<p align="LEFT" style="margin-right:0.26cm;margin-top:0.03cm;border-style:none;padding:0cm;line-height:0.29cm;">

<p style="text-align: LEFT; margin-right:1.32cm;margin-bottom:0cm;border-style:none;padding:0cm;line-height:138%;">Charley: So you don't think you would have any chance?

<p align="LEFT" style="margin-right:0.26cm;margin-top:0.03cm;border-style:none;padding:0cm;line-height:0.29cm;">

<p style="text-align: LEFT; margin-right:1.32cm;margin-bottom:0cm;border-style:none;padding:0cm;line-height:138%;">I do, but it would have to be in the distant future.

<p align="LEFT" style="margin-right:0.26cm;margin-top:0.03cm;border-style:none;padding:0cm;line-height:0.29cm;">

<p style="text-align: LEFT; margin-right:1.32cm;margin-bottom:0cm;border-style:none;padding:0cm;line-height:138%;">Charley: Okay, so I think I would be attacked if I didn't bring this up, or at least try to, but the big conversations in the wiki are about one season, all stars. You are the main host, does that put a lot of pressure on you?

<p align="LEFT" style="margin-right:0.26cm;margin-top:0.03cm;border-style:none;padding:0cm;line-height:0.29cm;">

<p style="text-align: LEFT; margin-right:1.32cm;margin-bottom:0cm;border-style:none;padding:0cm;line-height:138%;">Alfons: Yes! You bet it does! Look at Revival, so many people expected it to be the PERFECT season EVER so when there was any suggestion of a slight mistake people would have the verge to bash (particularly someone whose initials are BB and had a brother voted out of Cote). With All-Stars, I think it will be something similar. People are expecting it to be THE BEST, so there certainly will be a huge load of pressure on not only me, but Bailey, Trace, Woj and Lincoln's backs, and let's not forget to mention the players having pressure about it as well.

<p align="LEFT" style="margin-right:0.26cm;margin-top:0.03cm;border-style:none;padding:0cm;line-height:0.29cm;">

<p style="text-align: LEFT; margin-right:1.32cm;margin-bottom:0cm;border- style:none;padding:0cm;line-height:138%;">Charley: Do you expect a ton of backlash not only if it isn't "perfect" but just if it isn't the cast people want?

<p align="LEFT" style="margin-right:0.26cm;margin-top:0.03cm;border-style:none;padding:0cm;line-height:0.29cm;">

<p style="text-align: LEFT; margin-right:1.32cm;margin-bottom:0cm;border-style:none;padding:0cm;line-height:138%;">Alfons: Oh yes. Everyone has different tastes, and quite frankly, the cast for all-stars will mainly revolve around mine, Bailey, Woj, Trace, Lincoln's tastes. There are also people that have declined the offer to play in all-stars (2 in total thus far). So yes, I expect many people to not be completely satisfied with the cast (MickTesso doesn't count as one of them since he's never fully satisfied with anything).

<p align="LEFT" style="margin-right:0.26cm;margin-top:0.03cm;border-style:none;padding:0cm;line-height:0.29cm;">

<p style="text-align: LEFT; margin-right:1.32cm;margin-bottom:0cm;border-style:none;padding:0cm;line-height:138%;">Charley: Do you think it will just be people with bruised egos that they didn't get on? Or will they just be upset for their favourites?

<p align="LEFT" style="margin-right:0.26cm;margin-top:0.03cm;border-style:none;padding:0cm;line-height:0.29cm;">

<p style="text-align: LEFT; margin-right:1.32cm;margin-bottom:0cm;border-style:none;padding:0cm;line-height:138%;">Alfons: Both, both. There will be people who will complain that they or someone else weren't asked back, and there will be others who complain that some people were asked back instead..

<p align="LEFT" style="margin-right:0.26cm;margin-top:0.03cm;border-style:none;padding:0cm;line-height:0.29cm;">

<p style="text-align: LEFT; margin-right:1.32cm;margin-bottom:0cm;border-style:none;padding:0cm;line-height:138%;">Charley: I know I probably won't get anything out of you, but I gotta ask, any potential clues for the cast?

<p align="LEFT" style="margin-right:0.26cm;margin-top:0.03cm;border-style:none;padding:0cm;line-height:0.29cm;">

<p style="text-align: LEFT; margin-right:1.32cm;margin-bottom:0cm;border- style:none;padding:0cm;line-height:138%;">Alfons: I'll reveal one right now which is extremely obvious anyway, THE HICKMAN! As for the others, you'll have to wait and see ;)))

<p align="LEFT" style="margin-right:0.26cm;margin-top:0.03cm;border-style:none;padding:0cm;line-height:0.29cm;">

<p style="text-align: LEFT; margin-right:1.32cm;margin-bottom:0cm;border-style:none;padding:0cm;line-height:138%;">Charley: Wow, wasn't expecting to get any answer. I must be special Anyways, wanna move on to polynesia?

<p align="LEFT" style="margin-right:0.26cm;margin-top:0.03cm;border-style:none;padding:0cm;line-height:0.29cm;">

<p style="text-align: LEFT; margin-right:1.32cm;margin-bottom:0cm;border-style:none;padding:0cm;line-height:138%;">Alfons: Sure! It's a pretty good season so this will make for a pretty good interview for us to talk about it!

<p align="LEFT" style="margin-right:0.26cm;margin-top:0.03cm;border-style:none;padding:0cm;line-height:0.29cm;">

<p style="text-align: LEFT; margin-right:1.32cm;margin-bottom:0cm;border-style:none;padding:0cm;line-height:138%;">Charley: Alright, this is a double interivew, so we will go in order of boots. Daniel was voted out of his tribe, surprised?

<p align="LEFT" style="margin-right:0.26cm;margin-top:0.03cm;border-style:none;padding:0cm;line-height:0.29cm;">

<p style="text-align: LEFT; margin-right:1.32cm;margin-bottom:0cm;border-style:none;padding:0cm;line-height:138%;">Alfons: Well yes I was, mainly because of his username, you would think that the 'biggest Dan' would have turned out somewhat big, but that obviously wasn't the case.

<p align="LEFT" style="margin-right:0.26cm;margin-top:0.03cm;border-style:none;padding:0cm;line-height:0.29cm;">

<p style="text-align: LEFT; margin-right:1.32cm;margin-bottom:0cm;border-style:none;padding:0cm;line-height:138%;">Charley: His vote was very close, 5 against 4, do you think that speaks to the tribe divide?

<p align="LEFT" style="margin-right:0.26cm;margin-top:0.03cm;border-style:none;padding:0cm;line-height:0.29cm;">

<p style="text-align: LEFT; margin-right:1.32cm;margin-bottom:0cm;border-style:none;padding:0cm;line-height:138%;">Alfons: Without a doubt. It's always good having two forces battle it out.

<p align="LEFT" style="margin-right:0.26cm;margin-top:0.03cm;border-style:none;padding:0cm;line-height:0.29cm;">

<p style="text-align: LEFT; margin-right:1.32cm;margin-bottom:0cm;border- style:none;padding:0cm;line-height:138%;">Charley: Is that a bad sign for the tribe when they eventually merge?

<p align="LEFT" style="margin-right:0.26cm;margin-top:0.03cm;border-style:none;padding:0cm;line-height:0.29cm;">

<p style="text-align: LEFT; margin-right:1.32cm;margin-bottom:0cm;border-style:none;padding:0cm;line-height:138%;">Alfons: It's a what if and maybe sort of scenario. It really depends on how between what is happening now and what happening then will unfold.

<p align="LEFT" style="margin-right:0.26cm;margin-top:0.03cm;border-style:none;padding:0cm;line-height:0.29cm;">

<p style="text-align: LEFT; margin-right:1.32cm;margin-bottom:0cm;border-style:none;padding:0cm;line-height:138%;">Charley: Do you think there could be cross tribal alliances?

<p align="LEFT" style="margin-right:0.26cm;margin-top:0.03cm;border-style:none;padding:0cm;line-height:0.29cm;">

<p style="text-align: LEFT; margin-right:1.32cm;margin-bottom:0cm;border-style:none;padding:0cm;line-height:138%;">Alfons: Sadly with it all being an ORG, that's an inevitable pest.

<p align="LEFT" style="margin-right:0.26cm;margin-top:0.03cm;border-style:none;padding:0cm;line-height:0.29cm;">

<p style="text-align: LEFT; margin-right:1.32cm;margin-bottom:0cm;border- style:none;padding:0cm;line-height:138%;">Charley: So after Daniel gets voted out, Kacey is abducted from abduction island. Do you like this twist?

<p align="LEFT" style="margin-right:0.26cm;margin-top:0.03cm;border-style:none;padding:0cm;line-height:0.29cm;">

<p style="text-align: LEFT; margin-right:1.32cm;margin-bottom:0cm;border-style:none;padding:0cm;line-height:138%;">Alfons: It's interesting. It adds a new dimension to the game at the same time of not overpowering the normality of Survivor. I love it!

<p style="text-align: LEFT; margin-right:1.32cm;margin-top:0.26cm;margin-bottom:0cm;border-style:none;padding:0cm;line-height:138%;">

<p style="text-align: LEFT; margin-right:1.32cm;margin-bottom:0cm;border-style:none;padding:0cm;line-height:138%;">Charley: Were you expecting the other tribe to abduct her?

<p align="LEFT" style="margin-right:0.26cm;margin-top:0.03cm;border-style:none;padding:0cm;line-height:0.29cm;">

<p style="text-align: LEFT; margin-right:1.32cm;margin-bottom:0cm;border-style:none;padding:0cm;line-height:138%;">Alfons: Hard to say, as it didn't really occur to me before. But to say the least, I'm not really surprised..

<p align="LEFT" style="margin-right:0.26cm;margin-top:0.03cm;border-style:none;padding:0cm;line-height:0.29cm;">

<p style="text-align: LEFT; margin-right:1.32cm;margin-bottom:0cm;border-style:none;padding:0cm;line-height:138%;">Charley: Well after she's abducted, there's a tribe swap, and ultimately Kacey is blindsided. Did you think she would be an early boot?

<p align="LEFT" style="margin-right:0.26cm;margin-top:0.03cm;border-style:none;padding:0cm;line-height:0.29cm;">

<p style="text-align: LEFT; margin-right:1.32cm;margin-bottom:0cm;border-style:none;padding:0cm;line-height:138%;">Alfons: I don't want to repeat my opinion of her, but I certainly hoped she would go out early due to a rumour in which I believe to be true.

<p align="LEFT" style="margin-right:0.26cm;margin-top:0.03cm;border-style:none;padding:0cm;line-height:0.29cm;">

<p style="text-align: LEFT; margin-right:1.32cm;margin-bottom:0cm;border-style:none;padding:0cm;line-height:138%;">Charley: Well I gotta bring it up, she was accused of being a sockpuppet. Do you think it hurt her game in the end?

<p align="LEFT" style="margin-right:0.26cm;margin-top:0.03cm;border-style:none;padding:0cm;line-height:0.29cm;">

<p style="text-align: LEFT; margin-right:1.32cm;margin-bottom:0cm;border-style:none;padding:0cm;line-height:138%;">Alfons: No, I would doubt that, this is Survivor, everyone would want her to make it far because the chances are, she may just be pulled out anyway. Voting her out from a player perspective may not have been the best idea, for them that is, not me.

<p align="LEFT" style="margin-right:0.26cm;margin-top:0.03cm;border-style:none;padding:0cm;line-height:0.29cm;">

<p style="text-align: LEFT; margin-right:1.32cm;margin-bottom:0cm;border-style:none;padding:0cm;line-height:138%;">Charley: So you think her voteout was purely strategic?

<p align="LEFT" style="margin-right:0.26cm;margin-top:0.03cm;border-style:none;padding:0cm;line-height:0.29cm;">

<p style="text-align: LEFT; margin-right:1.32cm;margin-bottom:0cm;border- style:none;padding:0cm;line-height:138%;">Alfons: I don't have much of an insight into the game at the moment, so I'll get back to you when the confessionals are released ;)) But without hindsight, I would say that it could very well be.

<p align="LEFT" style="margin-right:0.26cm;margin-top:0.03cm;border-style:none;padding:0cm;line-height:0.29cm;">

<p style="text-align: LEFT; margin-right:1.32cm;margin-bottom:0cm;border-style:none;padding:0cm;line-height:138%;">Charley: Well do you think the tribe dynamics are totally changed due to the swap?

<p align="LEFT" style="margin-right:0.26cm;margin-top:0.03cm;border-style:none;padding:0cm;line-height:0.29cm;">

<p style="text-align: LEFT; margin-right:1.32cm;margin-bottom:0cm;border-style:none;padding:0cm;line-height:138%;">Alfons: Swaps always change dynamics! It's pot luck whether it affects someone in a good or bad way.

<p align="LEFT" style="margin-right:0.26cm;margin-top:0.03cm;border-style:none;padding:0cm;line-height:0.29cm;">

<p style="text-align: LEFT; margin-right:1.32cm;margin-bottom:0cm;border-style:none;padding:0cm;line-height:138%;">Charley: Alright, well we gotta wrap this up soon, so my last question to you is, who is your pick to win the season?

<p align="LEFT" style="margin-right:0.26cm;margin-top:0.03cm;border-style:none;padding:0cm;line-height:0.29cm;">

<p style="text-align: LEFT; margin-right:1.32cm;margin-bottom:0cm;border-style:none;padding:0cm;line-height:138%;">Alfons: My pick will most certainly throw someone under the bus! So I'll pick at random.... STEPHANE!

<p align="LEFT" style="margin-right:0.26cm;margin-top:0.03cm;border-style:none;padding:0cm;line-height:0.29cm;">

<p style="text-align: LEFT; margin-right:1.32cm;margin-bottom:0cm;border-style:none;padding:0cm;line-height:138%;">Charley: Good pick. Alright, well thanks for coming on!

<p align="LEFT" style="margin-right:1.32cm;margin-bottom:0cm;border-style:none;padding:0cm;line-height:138%;">

<p style="text-align: LEFT; margin-right:1.32cm;margin-bottom:0cm;border-style:none;padding:0cm;line-height:138%;">Alfons: It's been a pleasure!
