spencer--what was it like actually hearing from casting after applying? as a 2x applicant I've yet to receive the call but always have wondered about the feeling i'd get when it finally comes down the line. also--how do you feel about their use of recruiting as means to finding contestants?

I lost my mind when I heard the voicemail from the casting assistant. I slept about as well that night as I did the night before we started taping. It was insane but at the same time, SO hard to keep quiet. I wanted to tell everyone.

I understand why, as people who are trying to make a TV show, they'd want to recruit certain types of people who may not otherwise apply simply for appeal factor. BUT I think the show would be so much more entertaining if you had 16 applicants who were desperate to be there. The scrambling before every tribal council would be intense! I've always preferred as few recruits as possible because that gives the real fans a better shot, but sadly- for the fans who apply- they're more interested in making a TV show than giving real fans a shot. Perfect example: the "Fans" tribe in Micronesia... I mean, c'mon. All 10 of those people were hardcore fans... were we really supposed to buy that?
