             “No” is a word I have hated all my life.  It is a word that is so final and ending.  It’s like a stop sign meaning go no further.  Negative words have always been something that aren’t in the framework of my being. 

             Growing up as a child I was very well behaved so the word “NO” never had to be said to me to often.  In grade school I was the quiet one who just sat there and took in everything  around me.  On the playground I was never a bully and little ole me took up for the underdog in class.  I would walk home with the poor kids no one liked and I would invite them to birthday parties and bowling parties at the bowling alley that my dad was a manger of for many years. My dad was older than most fathers. When I was 8 years old my father was already 60 years old.  Most kids thought my dad was my grandfather.  Having a much older father than most taught me a great deal about life at a very young age. I remember dad working 2 jobs to keep the household running.  The way I was raised by my dad is a good reason I have never like the word “NO” as long as I can almost remember. Dad was born in 1900 and he lived through wars and depression and raised 5 children from a prior marriage on his own. His first wife died of cancer so he had to provide a good Christian home for these 5 children.

            Later in dad’s life he married my mother who gave him a daughter, named Gloria. I was the only child in that marriage for 14 years.  I was daddy’s little girl and we took the world by storm.  We both loved God dearly and talked about Him everyday in converstation.  Dad lived in a time when things were tough so he was like me.  He did not believe in the word “NO.”  Dad didn’t let anyone stop him from accompishing things he set out to do in life.  He never accepted the word “NO” but to be honest he didn’t do much in life where “NO” had to be said to my dad because he was such a wonderful, loving, God fearing man. He did everything he could and never gave up. He took care of his first and second family with love, compassion and devotion of heart. He said when you love God and do right you won’t have to hear the word “NO to often.

            So that is a short beginning of my life and how the word hardly ever entered into my vocabulary.  It was said so seldom that I can’t remember it.  I was loved and trusted and was open to explore the world around me as long as I loved God and behaved.

            When I entered Junior High I knew I loved all sports, softball, even baseball with the boys, basketball, volley ball, soccer hockey and tennis.  I even ran track after school.  But I was always the second smallest girl in my class. Being small use to turn off my team mates, because I was so little they didn’t think I would be good at any sport.  I remember my first Gym teacher telling me “NO” I couldn’t play 3rd base. Well, we had a substitute teacher for 2 weeks and she let me try 3rd base.  When the regular teacher came back she was amazed.  Playing third base became my position in High School, College, recreational softball, and travelling teams throughout the country.  3rd base was created for little ole me and I never heard the word “NO” from any gym teacher through the rest of my school days when they saw me play it. I didn’t hear “NO” to any sports, or to becoming a cop, or becoming a bounty hunter, or becoming a car repo-lady or becoming a go-go dancer.  “No” was never said because I had such drive that people never used it much around a person like me.

            I used to be on the special education committee for the city of Chesapeake schools. One day we had a big meeting with parents and their special needs children, one which I have myself. These children were never allowed the word “NO” in their classroom if it was related to task they were trying to overcome.  You could say maybe better tomorrow or we’ll try later but never to say “NO” you can’t do it. “NO” is to final for these children and it is to final for me.  It deadens the drive of energy within.

             In June of 2006 Lynne Spillman said “NO” you didn’t make the cut for Survivor Gloria. She hadn’t promised me anything but she definitely said the wrong word when it comes to a person like me.  All the word “NO” does to a person like me is make me more driven and determined.  A few months ago Lynne used the word “NO” to me again saying i would never be on survivor. (I  wrote an article about that a few days ago. Make sure to read it!)

              Lynne Spillman is the casting director of Survivor and if she could ever tell the world one thing she would have to say that Gloria Query is not a person who gives up when she is told “NO.”  “NO” makes her mad and more driven and determined than ever. As a matter of fact I have probably angered Lynne and Mark Burnett with my persistence and drive. Well, I can’t help it I just hate the word “NO.”  I like to prove myself when ever I hear a negative word.  I like to better the situation or cause and effect.

               I have become known online with my writing. WHY? because Lynne Splliman told me “NO.” My driven personality stood out at casting calls and online with my writings because I poured out my thoughts, ideas and beliefs of what I want.  I kept trying no matter how negative they seemed, I became positive with thoughts to never give up. They know my name at Survivor. because someone told me “NO.”

                So, I have held my head  high in adversity of the negative word “NO.” I have proven that I hate the word “NO” and have done everything I can to make positives out of negatives when given to me by Lynne Spillman.  For that reason alone I should have my chance at getting an interview for Survivor.  I walked with the negative word thrown at me, but walked strong and steadfast with positive devotion and loyalty to the show.

                 If for no other reason on the face of the earth as it was said to me I deserve my Interview and shot for Survivor because I stuck to my guns and never gave up when I was told the word “NO.”  I should be the first contestant to ever be on the show because I publicly stand up and write that I deserve my shot and chance to get on survivor because I didn’t lay down and die or give up when I was told “no” by Lynne Spillman casting director of Survivor.

                 The word “NO” made me blossom and grow and become a writer of humor and desire for the big dream.  I gained my position in reality World by being who and what I am with my drive. Why” again because I was told the word “NO.”  I hate the word “NO.” So when can a person like me get a yes or maybe out of Lynne Spillman and survivor.  Why would they want to shoot down the spirit and drive of a person like me. Dreamers are people who make the world come to life. Their spirit, heart and grit are unstoppable in the storm of life.

                 So, I deserve my chance to get on Survivor because I did not let the word “NO” from Lynne Spillman stop me. I feel I have proven this point more than any other person on the face of the earth who has ever had a dream to be on Survivor. Lynne you told me there wasn’t one person on the whole face of the earth that wanted to be on Survivor more than me. You said it was a sad thing.  You actually said it was a real shame.  The real shame is not giving me the chance to prove just exactly how much drive I have gained because I was once told “NO” by you.

               Will you casting people ever go out on a limb and give me my chance.  You go out and find complete strangers on the streets who have never seen Survivor and cast them.  I am a person who has worked hard because of the word “NO.”  Can’t I be the first person to ever be able to say I was blessed to be on Survivor because I would’nt let “NO” stop me from trying out for show no matter what barriers I had.

                I rest my case and I am absolutley sick of the word “NO” out of you Survivor people LOL!!

          Gloria looking bad and tough!! Remember my motto, “Humor is Healer of all Sorrows.”

            I swaney I feel like I am the Survivor Guru of needed information!  All of you diehards have been absolutley wonderful to me.  I don’t know why all of you keep contacting me, because I am nothing but a witty humorist.  Yeppers I am the Biggest loser in Survivor history LOL!

            I get hundreds of e-mails from all over the country.  The other day I left for work and when I got back I had 867 e-mails related to Survivor.  I must let all of you diehards know that I am not connected to the Survivor Reality Show in any way. I am also not connected to Casting in any way.  But I do get fed Survivor information daily, through no fault of my own, but I guess because of my Survivor Humor!

             I have spoken personally with several “Diehards Who Want TO Make A Deal With Survivor Casting.”  So you all ask me to go out on a limb with my funny and wild side so here’s the deal .  Many Diehards throughout the country have tried out for Survivor for Years.  Many have tried out 10 times and more.  These Diehards want to pay their own way To Los Angeles and Stay Up at a Hotel Of your Choice at their own expense.  They want to just have 2 days of being in Los  Angeles To meet Survivor Casting for scheduled interviews.   They understand the casting process and how it works but they want Survivor to do something extra special for them because of their years of devotion and love of the show.  They want to show how serious they are about getting on the show, and are willing to pay their own expenses for your time and consideration. They all feel you scout throughout the country so why not let several hundred come to you at no expense to you what so ever.  The rule for these lucky few diehards has to be they have tried out for show 10 times or more and have scheduled permission to come by you at no expense to Survivor in any way. There are several hundred diehards who would come to Los Angeles and prove what they are made out of and their coming would prove their determination and love of the show.. Why not just throw a Diehard Party to really see their social skills LOL

           Ok I posted the wild idea you all wanted so good luck, but I truly have doubts that Survivor will listen to me.

            Good luck 800 who will be getting calls soon! Always, Gloria Query gloriasroom@aol.com`

I posted the wild idea so let’s see what happens LOL!!!

By Gloria Query, “Glo” gloriasroom@aol.com February 24, 2008

  Gloria Query in her backyard Jungle, because she never got to the Survivor Jungle LOL!!!!!

          I have my own opinions of Lynne Spillman, because once I wrote a letter To Mark Burnett Productions of why I thought I should be considered for the show. In my letter I stated that I had tried out for the show at that time 13 times.  I also talked about my family and all the hardships that had fallen upon us.  I talked about losses of husband, 2 brothers and a sister who had just been diagnosed with cancer.  I wrote this letter after a finale show back in 2006.  I had no idea that my letter would fall into the hands of Lynne Spillman, casting director of Survivor. To be truthful with you I couldn’t have even told you the name of Lynne Spillman because I never knew her or her position as casting Director of Survivor.  I had done like everyone else in the world or so I thought.  I kept a low profile and just sent in applications and tryout tapes and never tried any more than that strategy. Being quiet never did me any good, but being a loud tooter hasn’t done me any good either.

           But, after getting the call of interest from Lynne Spillman, I guess my spirits were lifted because I had been through so much tragedy.  I was just happy to be happy for the short moment and the big dream I had and wanted so much.  But, as I said before, my family had been through so much tragedy, and it was about to happen at the worst time in my life, right in the middle of my big dream for Survivor.  When I wrote the letter to Survivor, I had just got the call about my oldest sister Mary Kath having terminal cancer, right during the finale show. I wrote my letter, and poured my heart out about my family and about my dream to be on Survivor to change things for my children and mother who was also terminally ill.

             After the call from Lynne, I was flying on cloud nine.  It was time for “ME” to be happy and do something for my family who had been through so much.  I don’t know what happened to me but I came to life and my wings sprouted full force.  My playful nature came back to life.  I didn’t know it, but my playful nature and antics were going to destroy my dream forever.  Lynne called me several times, telling me things she needed such as a video tape to go with application I had sent.  Sometimes she called just letting me know she had received them through the mail. I shared a few things with her and we laughed and back to her work load she would go and I would continue to dream for the next call, the important call that I hoped I would make the cut for Survivor. During all this I became happy for the first time in years.  I sent her and her cast flowers for lifting my spirits and she called singing me a song on my answering machine thanking me for pretty flowers.  I felt anyone who could lift my spirits deserved something beautiful, but as usual everything I would do would backfire. I sent her a funny picture of me saying I was her next ultimate survivor, standing in jungle plants waving at her LOL! I mailed her some things about me in newspapers and etc.  Two weeks later my sister died after Lynne called me.  I called leaving 2 messages to Lynne that Mary Kath had died. I believe Lynne was on the road with casting calls. A month or so went by and I finally heard from Lynne.  She left a message on a Friday that she wanted to talk to me. I got off work, heard the message when I got home and was so excited to hear from her. I left several messages for her that weekend but never heard from her.  There were several times where she had actually called me from her cell phone in the past.   That Monday I had to do many things so all I had was my cheap Track phone with me.  It kept ringing but I got no response, I just knew it had to be Lynne.  So, I would be out doing errands and went bike riding and called her several times.  Well, she finally picked up and was mad as fire at me for calling so many times.  She said she didn’t have time for it and she just let me have it with both barrows.  She said sorry Gloria but you didn’t make the cut.  That was it just short and sweet, no sorry to hear about your sister dying, no question of how are you doing.  The fun and laughing Lynne Spillman I once had experienced was gone that day.  She never let me explain about my phone problem when she knew I had serious phone problems because of something very personal to me.

            I called and left a message on her office phone that night asking her to reconsider, that Survivor really didn’t know the real me.  I haven’t done any more or less than most other real diehard dreamers.  But, like I said before Gloria had sprouted wings and was happy again and was going to let Survivor know what a mistake they had made LOL! At least that is what I believed. LOL!

            Remember, as I said before I had lost my sister and was probably truly not over her loss.  I put on this big front that I was happy go lucky Gloria and could handle anything.  Truly I was at the end of my line and I was mad at life, mad at Lynne Spillman, and all I wanted was my big dream.  I said before, that this phone call from Lynne Spillman probably truly came at the worst part of my life, but as the saying goes that’s life and you have to handle what comes to you, whether you like it or not. I didn’t handle the “NO” from Lynne Spillman well at all.  Little did I know at that time but everything I did was going to backfire and make things evern worst for me and my big dream to get on Survivor. I wasn’t ever going to be blessed with a second chance to get on Survivor, and I wasn’t going to be able to prove my real self or be forgiven for my drive and antics to get on the show.  Everything I did, backfired and I am going to have to live with that busted dream forever.

            If the truth ever be told I never did anything that bad trying to get my way.  I sent Lynne flowers again saying this time would you consider changing your mind and letting me prove the real me to you and Survivor.  I got funny and released balloons with challenges to anyone who could change her mind and get me an interview that I would bless them with $500.00.  This got to WTKR news and they put me on top of their news building with this story releasing balloons and delivering the message. I sent in newspaper clippings of what happened after this airred on the news.  Somebody gave me a mercedes who found the story funny. I sent that article  to Lynne and Mark Burnett and ask them to autograph my car.  I had been miserable with death for 4 years and I was cutting loose as the saying goes and at the same time destroying my chance to ever get on Survivor.  I use to find money at a business I once owned and I even sent the paperwork and told them to get the big wig to go collect their free money at California Unclaimed Funds department.  Lynne called me back mad twice saying stop what you are doing.  Mark Burnett is mad at you. No, Mark Burnett was mad at her for opening up the heart strings of a woman with a big dream who was open and alive and hurt at the same time.   He didn’t want to deal with the crazy and fun antics of a woman who had finally seen the light of laughter and humor.  The money thing I sent in never was understood and isn’t understood to this day. Hey world, hey big shots, there’s free money out there you don’t know about it. Go claim it. The bigger you are the more you travel the more you might have and not even know it. I knew the big shot friend of Mark Burnett’s and told him to forward the information on to that individual.  That was a really bad thing for little ole me to do.  Instead of making jest of all this they took everything I did and just put me in a file of Nut cases. I even wrote a letter to Lynne saying I probably had been obsessive about things I wanted in life, and maybe i said obsessive disorder, but the truth is I don’t have any disorders.  A few months ago I e-mailed Lynne asking if I could talk to her.  She e-mailed me back with her number and I called and we talked, and I can tell you now that she does think I’m wacked so I went ahead and did the wacky thing I did which was tell her what I called her for in the first place LOL   Hell, we were at the point of no return for me and my dream so what the hell did I care what she thought of me.  She said I was the biggest wannabee Survivor on the face of the earth but that I would never be on the Survivor Reality show because I wrote her a letter saying I have BI-POLAR disorder. Well fans I want you to know I have never written her a letter saying I have bi-polar disorder, but may have written saying I have an obsessive personality and maybe put disorder behind it lol Who can remember everything they write when they have lost their sister, and their dam biggest dream at the same time. It’s a hell of a note that, that letter is being held over my head as being a nut forever after the tragedies I had been through. Who cares if I am driven or even slighty obsessive over something I want.  I have been driven and obsessive about every sport, and job I have had in my life and that is why my resume of live is unique. I excelled in all sports, and I was top in all my jobs as a cop, bounty hunter, car repo-lady and go-go-dancer.  Heck, I am probably the only woman in America who was a go-go-dancer and bounty hunter at the same time. When I use to go-go dance I would actually be seeking out clients on the run from bondsmen.  They would walk into the establishments I danced at many times and I was functioning with 2 jobs in one.  I would entertain them and be catching my man on the run at the same given time.  I was making double time as the saying goes. LOL  But, it was my unique idea and it worked well for many years.  The Bondsmen loved me working for them! (All you diehard fans have been very devoted to me and have wanted the true story and why, so now you have it!  I’m sorry, but I will Never be on Survivor, but I want all you diehards to know that I have tried with all the energy and faith that I have in me to change their opinion of me and give me a chance. I have never given up on my dream and I have kept faith that maybe someday their opinion of me would change, but it hasn’t and it won’t change. SORRY FANS!!)

           There is much more to this story, but I don’t even care to go over it all, but I will tell you that I have surfaced out of my shell.  Survivor may consider me a real NUT case but it’s their loss because I know the real me.  Survivor and the WORD “NO” to my dream made me fight again for things in life.  I have never liked anybody telling me “NO” to my dreams.  My “NO” just came at a bad time in my life and everything backfired.  I can’t undo what they truly think of me, but I can tell you this.  It’s better to be where I am now verses the tragedy of 2 years ago when I got that “NO” said to me.

             When I went on a charity run with the Survivors, we had a terrible tragedy occur.  I mentioned why don’ t you call Lynne Spillman and see if she has connections about making something better on this charity run since you are a Survivor.  That one Survivor  said I would never call Lynne Spillman and bother her.  Remember we are on a charity run to raise money for Foster Children and these Survivors are on the run. No, this survivor wanted to be on an all star show in the future and  didn’t want to get on the bad side of Lynne Spillman. This Survivor cared more for theirself than that charity run.  What I am trying to say is that I have been mad at Lynne Spillman for years but I don’t hate her. But, I truly am not afraid to call her if I want to.  After all I e-mailed her and ask if I could call and talk to her about something and she let me.  I don’t just dial the phone and say hey Lynne it’s me Gloria Query Biggest loser in Survivor history. I just don’t call out of the blue and say here I am. I respect her position and what she has to do.  I want to really just scream at her for her position about me and her belief about me but what dam good will that do.  But all of you have been really wanting to know the true story of why I am never going to be on Survivor.  The truth is I made a bad impression during a bad time in my life and they think I am a “NUT’ who has bi-polar disorder, acording to Lynne Spillman. I have never been able to disprove that belief or prove myself any different to Lynne Spillman, or Mark Burnett because I have never been given the chance.  My boyfriend was standing in the backyard a few months ago when I spoke to Lynne and he couldn’t believe what I told her.  Some of what I told her is personal but she can let that cat out of the bag if she ever chooses’s to do so but not I.  But, I started laughing, saying I do not have Bi-polar disorder and don’t have any disorder for that matter. She said I want to be on Survivor more than any person on the face of the earth but “YOU WILL NEVER BE ON SURVIVOR” because of this bi-polar disorder letter I wrote.  As a casting director I can’t let you be on Survivor because of it.  Give me a break Lynne, You have had people with disorders on the show, the McNulty girl who backed out was chosen and she had disorders or phobias LOL! Psychological testing is for people you need to know things about so don’t tell me that bunch of bunk!  I am not getting on Survivor because you messed up with me in a phone converstation, and now because of it Mark Burnett thinks I am a nut!  You calling me probably cornered you into a bad situaton because I am a woman with a lot of drive and I went for the gusto when I wanted what I want. But I have proven to be real and tell it like it is to you. You have never been truthful with me or given me the chance to prove the real me, so thats where me and Lynne Spillman stand.  I will never be a fan on the show and I have to live with it every day because I crossed a woman who got mad at me and now I am black balled forever from my dream.  Mark Burnett will never give me the time of day because of my drive and antics.  But, they know I am smart and driven and diehard fans I have become a writer and I avoided all the questions of this story for 2 years so now you have it.

       I respect Mark Burnett, but I will never have a dream because of bad timing.  I respect Lynne Spillman in most ways, but she still angers me in the arena of some things and only she knows what that is.  I’ve proven to be a better sport than most folks when the dream is lost, but I have spoken highly of Mark Burnett, Lynne Spillman and the Survivor show because I am loyal to the thought that it is the greatest reality show ever created for tv!

        I have proven my loyalty in writing and in my ideas last year to keep the show running.  Fans I did everything I could to be a good sport, but you wanted the true story so there it is.  BY Gloria Query gloriasroom@aol.com   remember my motto “Humor is Healer of All Sorrows!”

             But, to be honest with you I would enjoy sitting across the table drinking a soda, with Lynne Spillman, knocking knuckles with ideas I think are great for the show!  What is a girl to do??? I could tell Lynne anything!! Lynne______________________________________ fill in the sentence girl!

              Calls will be going out any day now and may have already gone out.  Good Luck to 800 people who will be granted an interview for the next Survivor Reality Show.  Whatever you do, be yourself and don’t put on any airs! Good Luck Diehards!  And Thank You Lynne Spillman for bringing me out of my shell, letting me sprout my wings of humor. Your call did do that for me!!!

    Gloria Query predicts the Ultimate Survivor winner of Survivor 16 Micronesia will be Eliza Orlins!

           I will try to post weekly  predictions of who I think will be voted off on weekly episodes.  I predict that Ami Cusack will be voted off on the Survivor Micronesia show that airs on February 28, 2008.

            In my writings I have never tried this idea of weekly Predictions but let me give it an old diehard shot.  I may very well be laughing, along with all you diehards laughing with me, but let’s see what happens week to week just for the fun of it.

            All you diehards can contact me with your opinions at gloriasroom@aol.com   Make sure to put Survivor in the subject line or I will not respond!

             It breaks my heart to say this but I truly think one of the favorites will take the number one spot and I predict Eliza Orlins to be the one to do it.  She is by no means one of my favorite contestants but that is my prediction at this date.

             All of us diehards want one of the fans to be the winner, but I am just not feeling that it willl happen. So, week to week, watch for my weekly Prediction of who I think will be voted off the Survivor Micronesia Show.  I am going to have fun with my Prediction forecast but I promise to be honest with what I think and Predict.

             Tell Mark Burnett to watch my weekly Predictions and tell Lynne Spillman, casting director to watch.  Since I am Survivor’s Biggest Loser and Dreamer who has never gotten on, maybe I can make them at least laugh with me weekly, with Predictions!  Remember my motto, “Humor Is Healer Of All Sorrows!”  So, now weekly I will use some of my humorous, inner energy and do weekly forecast Predictions by Gloria Query LOL!!

             Keep your eyes open for Gloria Query’s Jungle Talk Interview with Ricky Humphrey, diehard fan,  from Boston, Kentucky. I will be posting this article up in next few days.

   Gloria Query and Big Tom Know They Are Ultimate Survivors! Make sure to get involved in Gloria Query’s “Jungle Talk Interviews Diehard Survivor Fans”

           Tonights show was a blast to watch.  Tribal council told it like it was.  Host, Jeff Probst didn’t have to dig for conversation because the favorites team was busting at the seams to let out their innermost thoughts.  Watching it was like being a fly on the wall, observing all the wild energy flying.  I knew before they even got to tribal council that hell was going to bust loose in the tribal coral LOL!

           Watching Jonathan was like watching a wild horse who has just been released to freedom.  He obviously had something on his mind and he couldn’t even contain himself for the magic moment to bust loose at the tribal coral.  Bust loose is exactly what he did, and he most certainly laid his opinions and guilt trip on Cirie.  He wasn’t happy with the alliance that Cirie broke with the five and he voiced his disgust and disappointment. He told Jeff Probst that certain swing voters were doing what they wanted to do, to take some control in the tribe and that their switch of votes wasn’t going to work for them. When time passes I think Jonathan’s opinion may very well come to past.

          At the same time, I have to give credit to Cirie. She didn’t take Jonathans opinions and accusations laying down.  She came back full blast with her own theories. She said she wasn’t there to please other members but to put herself in the situation which would most benefit herself, with further standing status.  But, Cirie as much as I like you, I believe that Jonathan may very well have been right about this decision you made.  Two couples are not going to consider you that important a player on their strategy to take it to the last five.  They all seriously consider you a weak link and you being voted off would not  upset any of them.  James is already over you, and in time he will voice his opinion to out you from the pack.

          Jonathan is not shy and he plundered right into the middle of the tribal party who were plotting there way to said victory.  He knew what he was doing and he deliberately tried to break up the party, because he wanted Cirie to keep her senses about what they were all suppose to do as a team alliance.  He gave it all he had, but Cirie was swayed and it will be interesting to see the outcome of all this swticherro of team alliances LOL!

         The “Favorites” camp will be a team full of angry players, who will be plotting their strategies against one another next week. I’m sure that Jonathan and Cirie will be voicing their anger against one another in front of team mates.  The team mates wil get sick of it and it will be anyones guess who will go next on this team.  I persoanlly hope Jonathan comes up with a new plan and sways someone.  He is definitely making the show fun to watch, but at the same time I can’t wait to see what Cirie has in store with all her Switcheoo strategies, and what will be her next surprise move in the game.  Maybe she will see her mistake, and come back with some humble apologies,  but knowing Cirie, I don’t think any apologies will occur on next weeks show.

          Looks like action is taking place on the “Fans” team.  Joel thinks, he has all his team mates in his pocket.  He thinks he has conrol of whats going to happen, but Miki is on the loose and is mad as hell.  Miki went right for the juggler and told Joel that he wasn’t using good sense voting the stronger players off like Mary so soon in the game.  Miki you are right with what you told Joel, but we all know you had the hots for Mary so you feel betrayed by your team mates and you’re mad as hell.  Miki just take it easy boy and move in slow with your strategy to get rid of big tough, strong man Joel.  Joel will wear his team mates thin very soon with all his bossiness and trying to show controlling leadership so soon in the game. Whatever you do Miki take it slow and take one small step at a time and you will have all the fuel you need to get rid of Joel.  Don’t try to over power him, just let him kill himslf in this game.  Team mates don’t like people who are over powering bullies trying to get their ways.  Don’t let the heart break you have for Mary destroy your spot in this game.  Let the heart strings go and push for the win of the million dollars young man.  You can call Mary after the show is over LOL

Gloria Query’s Jungle Talk Interview with “Prayer Pact Buddy,” Virginia P. Her nickname is “Yahoo!”

   Virginia P. from Middle, Georgia is a 49 year old mother of 2 sons named Ben age 17 and Judson age 19.  She has had a long and blissful marriage to Stuart for 23 years.  Stuart isn’t as trusting as his wife Virginia so I promised to not use last name in this interview, to keep peace  on the homefront for these two. Virginia and Stuart met each other in a restaurant through mutual friends before their first date.  A few short weeks later Stuart called Virginia and the love story grew to a beautiful union between them and a much cherished family they have been blessed with.  Virginia said the love she has for her husband is intense and very loving!  While talking to her I was able to pick up on the strong connection and bond this family has.  Virginia and Stuart have done everything they can to bring the two boys up with great values. Judson, 19 is off to college but hasn’t decided on his college major yet.  The younger son Ben has graduated from High School and is attending an Arts School. You could tell while talking to Virginia that she is a grounded mother, who is proud of her Husband and sons.

          Before, I go further with this article I wish to explain the title of “Prayer Pact Buddy,” to all of you, so you will fully understand how important this woman Virginia P. is to me.  Virginia came into my life approximately 8 years ago at Suvirvor Reality tv chat sites.  Virginia and I use to just chat and have fun at the chat sites.  We use to have fun poking a little fun at each other, about who would be the strongest Survivor contestant if we either one ever got on the show. I use to say I will outlast, outplay and outwit you if we ever get on same show so give it up Virginia LOL! Before long, I found myself waiting for Virginia to come on at the chat sites.  Months went by with all the fun and joking and then it got to be real serious conversation between us.  I ask Virginia if she would trust me being given her e-mail address, because I had come up with a great idea.  She said sure and the e-mail address exchange occurred between us. From that very moment something was going to happen to change our lives.  We conversed with one another for months exchanging our thoughts and dreams about Survivor. We began to exchange personal information to one another and we knew about each others family. We knew about each others children, how many each of us had, their ages, what grades they were in at school and much more.  One day I told Virginia I had come up with a wonderful plan and would she take part in it.  She was anxious to hear me out on it.  I told her I wanted her to be my “Prayer Pact Buddy,” and that we would pray for each other to get on the Survivor show, that we would pray for each others families and that we would remain friends from afar, which we have done for 8 years.  We have talked a half a dozen times or so through the years, but most of our conversations have been through exchanges of e-mails. I found myself anxious to hear from Virginia, because she often brightened my spirits during difficult times.  There was a period of about 4 years when I was losing immediate family members every few months. Just to name a few I lost husband I had only been married to for 7 months, lost 2 brothers, a sister, brother-in-law, Sarge who was  like my step-father for over 30 years, mother-in-law and many other family members. Tragedy was hitting my family from every angle.  Back in 2006 I actually got my call of interest from Lynne Spillman casting director of Survivor.  She was real interested in my application and wanted my video sent in soon as possible.  Well as luck would have it my sister, Mary Kath died two weeks after that call.  My sister died, my mother was very ill and I didn’t get my dream to make the cut for Survivor.  I was at witts end and was devastated not to get on Survivor.  I just wanted to get away from all the tragedy and heart break.  I needed to get away and renew my energy forces.  But my prayer pact buddy was there with me through it all.  She e-mailed me, called me and said don’t give up Gloria you are a strong woman. Strong woman, hell I’m thinking!  I was over the whole world of death and tragedy all around me constantly.  I began to dread hearing the phone ring for fear another family member was probably on their death bed or had died!  Virginia e-mailed me and called me and helped pray for me to keep my sanity and witts.  She said you have so much strength, and you and I both know God has a reason for all these things happening in your life.  Little did I know at that time but my Prayer Pact Buddy was a real God-send in my life when I really needed it. I poured out my dread and hurt and pain to her.  I often shared how mad I was and how tired I was of trying to hold up face and be that humorous person that I am so much of LOL! I have always been a good sport but I didn’t want to be a good sport any longer.  I wanted my life to be the way I wanted and that was that. Virginia continued to put up with me through e-mails and kept me laughing!  She always said that we had a Prayer Pact and that God wasn’t going to let us down.  This prayer Pact thing even angered me at times, especially when I was devastated over not getting on Survivor.  Our Prayer Pact had something very special between us. If either of us ever got on we were going to meet each other and donate some money to the charity of our Buddys choice if we won on Survivor. Well, diehard Survivor fans, Virginia has been my “Prayer Pact Buddy,” for 8 years. We have been through thick and thin and she has been a driving force in my life to keep going.  There have been times when in last year or so that she has been bummed out and wanted to maybe just give up.  But that “Prayer Pact Buddy” thing is working.  We continue to try out for Survivor, knowing that God has a plan for us. We want to personally meet each other one day and we want Survivor to be a part of it for us, because the jokes about Survivor brought two wonderful woman together who have become friends from afar, yet we are not strangers in any way. Virginia says Gloria look at what has happened to you in last two years. You are a writer, in the limelight and people always turn to you for advice about Survivor and you have never been on show.  You have been blessed with charity motorcycle run with Survivors, and you got invited to become a writer about Survivor at onsurvivor.com  My Prayer Pact Buddy has helped me to open my eyes and know that my humor from my God is my driving force in life.  I have been slapped with so much tragedy that now I guess Humor has surfaced with full force.  I have a motto that is “Humor is Healer of all Sorrows” and I am living proof of that fact.  Survivor I can’t believe you don’t want to meet two woman like Virginia and I!  We have a story like no other in Survivor Reality history.  I am an outspoken woman and I feel you have misjudged two great women full of strengths.  Virginia is a great woman, and I am an outspoken woman who speaks her peace no matter who or what it is!  I have been an advocate of your show for years.  I write with truths and facts of what I feel and see. I am not right about everything I say about Survivor, but I am right about the following statement. It is a sad situation that Survivor doesn’t really know these 2 diehard Survivor fan women and who and what they are really made of.  We have earned our interview and I will never change that belief or fact of what I know.  We deserve our chance to really show you what we are all about.  Sometimes applications and videos miss the truth of what we are! There SURVIVOR, I have said how I really feel.  As usual you will just ignore us!  But, you will find some useless personality to put on besides us! (Anyway, I have stated my case and this is what my “Prayer Pact Buddy” means to me.  This interview is “OUR STORY!” A True and Heartfelt Story of two woman and their journey together and quest to get on Survivor and change their lives! It is a unique and blessed story of truth aand fact of two woman who found each other and became friends through the internet because of the Survivor reality Show, but most of all because of GOD!

         Well, Virginia as usual I have told it as it really is!  Virginia works at a Hospital Based Health and Fitness Center.  She is a Health Educater-Personal trainer-Fitness instructor.  She is a driving force as a professional who helps people to live a healthier, longer and better lifestyle. She loves her job and she loves to help people change their lifestyles so they can be healthier individuals in day to day living.

          Virginia went to Bryan County High School where she excelled in sports and loved drama. Virginia dosen’t know it but we are just alike in the arena of sports and drama. Virginia still actively participates in recreational volley-ball. she loves it and plays it regularly. Like her, I can be seen in my backyard, to this day, still shooting basketball through the old hoop that still stands in my backyard. Virginia and I do not let our age stop us from doing what we both love so much which is sports. Virginia is a medium swimmer, and I just learned how to swim in the summer of 2006. LOL!

       Virginia has a favorite Charity called the “Christian Life Center.” This charity hands out food to people in need every Tuesday and helps pay utility bills when there is some money in the pool to spare.  The Charity completely runs on community donations that come in.  If I get on Survivor this will be the charity I donate money to, because this was in our Prayer Pact Deal and this is her charity of choice. If she gets on and wins I want her to donate to the Multiple Schlerosis Society, because my daughter was diagnosed with that disease this past December, 2007. We will both do the right thing if getting on Survivor ever happens for us!  But for all people who want to donate to our charities please let us know and we will be glad to guide you to the place to do it.

       Virginia loves the Survivor reality Show because she loves the interaction between the contestants. She loves the challenge involved in the games, and she loves watching the week to week performance of the contestants.  When she watches Survivor on Thursday nights everybody has to leave her alone during that hour and her husband goes somewhere and plays his guitar I think she said. LOL! That hour has to be peace and quiet, because it is her private time to enjoy the show she so much loves.  If she is ever blessed to get on Survivor her oldest son Judson is the family member that will be chosen to visit her on show to participate in a game of challenge.  My family member will be my baby sister Denise because she has also been on same Quest to get on Survivor for 8 years! So Survivor, you have 3 diehard Survivor fans right here in this article. So open your eyes and interview all 3 of us LOL!!! I asked her about how her family feels about her quest to get on and she said her husband is worn out, wants her to go just to get him out of misery of hearing it ! LOL! Her two sons, when younger were anxious for her but have outgrown the everyday thought, but both would support her all the way she said.  Everybody is always worn out when it is a diehard Survivor fan in their family LOL! Mention Survivor tryouts around my house and you will see some of the kids throw their hands over their ears LOL!

          Virginia’s primary goal to be on show is for the interaction of challenge between her and other contestants.  She loves the challenge of it all and wants to actively participate to prove to herself and others that she can do it. Her secondary motivation is to be able to travel and have the experience of different cultures.

          I asked Virginia what she would say if Mark Burnett walked up and stood right beside her. She said she would say nice to meet you Mr. Burnett, tell him that Survivor is an awesome show and that she has enjoyed watching it for years.  I would say it is great to meet the great brain of reality TV!! LOL   She then said she would be great entertainment on his show if given the chance to participate as contestant. I would say it took you long enough  to come and see me Mr. Burnett LOL!  What can I do for you sir? LOL  All jokes aside I wonder what the two of us would really say if it happened? I ask her if she had ever talked to anyone at Survivor, she said yes just regular office staff who were distant and evasive.  A time or two, one or two were friendly but short with talking time LOL! Thats busy people for you at Survivor.  They are always busy and in such a rush, but after all they handle thousands of dreamers calling them weekly I suppose.

          What skills do you have for Survivor I ask her and she said I can lash and tie things together to build.  Again we are alike on that skill factor.  She can hunt and fish just like I.  She can build latrines just like I.  No wonder we are Prayer pact Buddies, we would be a great team on Survivor LOL!  She can build fires from scratch and so can I.  She can gather food and has been trained in survivor skills just like I. The list of skills goes on and on with us two women.  I have a past Special Forces man in my life and he has taught me even more than I already knew.  Life is a test for Virginia and I and our dream together. But, God is Good and has a plan for us one day.  We know we will meet one day, just how and when is the factor of question??? Will it or Could it be Survivor? I guess that is in God’s hands isn’t it Prayer Pact Buddy?

           Virginia and her family live on a farm in Middle, Georgia on about 200-300 acres of land adjoined to their in-laws farm. But she and her husand work so much there is no time for farming LOL!  They have many pets on this big acreage of land to roam on. They have 4 dogs, 3 cats and 6-8 guineas which are a type of farm bird which eat the insects and are talkers when danger arises. These birds alert the folks when something alarming is out and about as the saying goes. Not normal behaviors on the home front my grand daddy use to say!

        What would you say to Survivor if given the chance.  She said give real true diehards their chance.  Many real diehards are being over looked because of their drivien behaviors she said.  Diehards often stand out in the limelight and are overlooked as being crazy, because they are so driven.  Keep going I’m thinking about Virginia, she is really opening up here.  Eat the bullet and give us diehards our day to prove our Psychological  Structure I said. Yeppers she agreed with me on that one.  Then she shared a story about  a Georgia woman who made it to 50 finalist in Los Angeles and didn’t make it on show, because her Psychological testing came back as being TO SANE!! DO you hear me diehards TO Sane!! I was lmao as the expression goes and I knew I could pass that Psychologial with all factors they are wanting.  Overly driven, very strong willed, out spoken and even very humorous.  If nutty is in the cards I can hand out lots of nuttiness on playful plate of goods to be given when needed. I told Virginia that taking the Psychological test has never scared me in any, way shape or form. She said there was no fear there for her either. Psychological testing, TO SANE!!  This story will dwell on my mind for days to come with many questions! To sane means they do want a little craziness from us diehards huh? If any of you want to contact us about our story please e-mail me at gloriasroom@aol.com   We both would love to share our true and eventful story with you!

     Well, I am tired of writing for today diehard fans so I think I will go out for a cold brisk walk to open my mind full of questons and wonder!  Always remember my motto, “Humor is Healer of all Sorrows.” Do something funny today and make someone laugh!

By Gloria Query, “Glo”, gloriasroom@aol.com   February 10, 2009

    Well, today has been a very interesting Day.  My oldest daughter, Melanie came in town this weekend to spend time with me and to celebrate her birthday!  Melanie is my oldest daughter and the mother of the only 2 grandchildren I have.

                   It was my day off from work and it was great being with my family!  Melanie had to go to my computer.  She went under my screen name and started yelling mom I can’t believe it.  You have e-mails galore about Survivor!  The truth of it is she was being nosey.  I have been telling her that I have a great and devoted fan base who contacts me about everything imaginable related to things connected with Survivor.  For some reason I have been throned Guru Mama of Survivor needed information.  Imagine holding a throne Of Survivor Guru Mama and you have never even been on the show.  As a matter of fact, I’m probably the biggest Survivor loser in Survivor Reality TV history.  Well, it is my crown of “Survivor Loser Glory” so I might as well hold the throne with Survivor Good Sport dignity!  But, the truth is I don’t know how much longer my dignity and good patience can hold out LOL!  I still have the “BIG DREAM” of being a dieahard fan contestant one day against other diehards or other favorites.  They can have show of their choice, I just want to be on the damn show period LOL!

        As you can all tell I am in one of my humorous moods tonight, but I guess it’s time to get to the Interview I saw tonight on CNN Headline News, with Glenn Beck Interviewing Jeff Probst, Host of Survivor Micronesia. As a matter of Fact for all of you who missed it, it airs again later tonight.

        I caught it just a few minutes after it started, but I can tell all folks who try out for Survivor that when we all tryout they do our applications and videos with colored dots. So, THE RED DOT is the color you want to be on your profile status. Little do they know, but Red happens to be one of my favorite colors.  Red is the color for the flaming folks, who have a hot video and application! It means, they have caught Survivors interest right from the start and have a chance at getting a call back for interviews. There were other colors too but I didn’t catch the proper order of what other colors meant what LOL!  JUST RED IS IT!!!  You need to be RED DOTS  diehards LOL!!! RED RED RED DOTS mean good stuff!

         Jeff Probst talked about being an ordained Minister and how he did the ceremony  for his parents who re-dedicated their wedding vows to one another!  Looks like the down to earth young man from Kansas has deep seeded devotions and beliefs.  Being the Host of Survivor has not effected Jeff Probst as far as who and what kind of man he is.  He has good friends not connected with Survivor, and he said he doesn’t run alot with the Entertainment gang.  In other words Jeff doesn’t frequent the party scenes of Los Angeles Hollywood life on the night circuits to much I gather.  Jeff doesn’t seem to be a man who has let the Hollywood industry effect his private down time lifestyle.

     Glenn Beck asks Jeff if he ever wanted to get married and have kids. He said yes, one day he wanted to be married to the right girl at the right time and possibly have 2 children. So, one day one of you lucky ladies out there will be the one and only for Mr Jeff Probst.  He was also ask if finding dates was hard?  Jeff said no, and he knows how to tell which ones are genuine and which ones are from his fame.  You can tell when people are genuine and like you for who and what you are he said.  Hearing this interview made me want to be on Survivor even more than ever.  As all you fans know I have kept a secret under my hat for 8 years and 16 tryouts.  If I ever get on Survivor I have promised that I have something secretive to whisper in Jeff’s ear.  And “NO” it is not related to attraction or anything like that ,so “HA HA” fans you are all wrong LOL! I have kept my secret about that whisper in his ear for 8 years and 16 tryouts, wonder how much longer I will have to wait to whisper the secret to him.  It will be absolutely the funniest thing ever said to him ever on Survivor. It is funny but seriously the truth of what I have to whisper to only him.

           I was very happy to hear that Jeff has his own charity called “Serpentine Foundation,” that works with foster children who don’t have parents they can call or turn to in life.  Jeff’s foundation helps a select few and stays with them forever to get them all the help they need finacially, and with one on one guidiance and advice.  He actually talked about one young man named Rigo who had left him a phone message saying I want to get some advice about something from you Jeff. Say no more, Jeff you said the right words when you said charity and foundation. I just got back from a charity motorcycle ride back in Septemeber, 2007 with 2 Survivor celebrity contestants named Big Tom and Stephenie, to help raise money for “The Adoptive and Foster Families of Maine.” So, helping foster children rates you “HIGH” on my TO LIKE YOU LIST! I was also pleased to hear that Mark Burnett is on board of directors for  “The Elizabeth Glasser Pediatric Aids Foundation. Survivor has helped raise over 2 million dollars through the past years by auctioning off Survivor Props to help raise money for “EGPAF.”  Aids needs all the awareness and help they can get so thank you Jeff Probst, Mark Burnett and Survivor show for all  the help you have given to that worthy Foundation.  Jeff also mentioned St. Judes Childrens Hospital so there you go again Jeff. Jeff, please keep up your good work for all these charities.  As,  you said on show,”a waterfall begins but with one drop.”  If every person in the world, did one small thing the world would be out of the terrible mess and misfortune it is in. I admire you for all your charitable help to all of these organizations!

       Glenn ask Jeff if their were any contestants he ever just hated on the show.  Jeff never said he hated anyone, but he did state that Johnny Fairplay was defintely not one of his favorite contestants.  He did say he did not want Fairplay to be on the Survivor Micronesia show.  He said that Fairplay had made things on Survivor rather personal at times, but he had to look at it as though Fairplay was doing what he was doing for the attention and flair for himself on the show. Hey Jeff, don’t feel alone, Johnny Fiarplay wasn’t my cup of tea either.  As far as I am concerned he really took up wasted space on this Survivor Micronesia show and there were other contestants like Twila Tanner and others I would really rather have seen on the show.  Twila should be on some show sometime soon I hope. I would love to be on a fans verses favorites show where I am on a team of Fans against a team of favorites with Twila as one of their team members.  She and I would be evenly matched for sure. Who knows what the future brings for all us diehard dreamers!

    Jeff said being the host on Survivor has brought him the opportunity to be exposed to the different cultures of other countries.  He said that Mark Burnett and Leslie Moonves of CBS have afforded him a rare opportunity in his life to be chosen as the Host.  If he had not taken the job they would have moved on to the next one in mind on a list of candiidates.  His first contract with survivor was for 6 years.  Glenn Beck said what was your salary.  Jeff responded and said it was not as much as most famous hosts, but for what he did it was good payment.  But each year they paid him a little better he said.  What does Jeff do in his down time. He said he is trying to learn the “C” cord on his guitar! I laughed, about a good guy who does everyday normal stuff like most men folk.  Yes, Jeff Probst is a household face on TV, but away from all the glitz and glamor he is just a really nice Kansas young man who does a job.  He has not forgotten where he came from.  He talked about coming from a great family with good parents and great brothers. He said he has has a good life and been blessed with many opportunities.  Go Jeff, and keep going! Jeff says he talks to his dad on the phone about just about anything.  Good to hear about that close connecton of family, in this day and time in the Entertainment Industry.  Most Entertainent people have let it go to their heads for sure!

       Jeff said, “Survivor is like a good pedigree with good story telling.”  I thought that was a different definition of Survivor but you know what, it is interesting to note that Survivor is not scripted, so diffferent stories erupt weekly from the show.  On survivor each week takes a different turn of events according to what effect is happening between the contestants. So, Jeff’s definition fits in with the many I have had for years LOL!

      Jeff said, that Survivor has left him with a good balance in his life.  Survivor has brought him so many experiences and opportunities he would not have had in other jobs.  Survivor has opened Jeffs eyes to what one person can do.  Doing a little is doing a lot, as long as we all do something he said.  When watching Jeff in this interview I could just see Jeff sitting at home with his friends  playing cards. THey would call out for a pizza and order just like we all do, every day normal hard working common folk. I found Jeff to be a super friendly person, who is grounded and knows where he is at this stage in his life. He’s grateful for where he is and what he has been blessed with, as his charity nature answered all those questions for me. As always, I found myself admiring his kind and humorous nature, and am just as determined as ever to meet him one day as a contestant on the Survivor reality show.  So, “GLO” keep dreaming the big dream and never give up on that “Secret” you have to whisper in Jeff’s ear!

     Towards the end of the interview Glenn Beck and Jeff played a game of vote off like on Survivor. Glenn would have two pics on screen and said vote one off.  THE puppets Ernie and Burt, Jeff voted off Burt, Briitney Spear’s ex-huusband was voted off over her, Hillary was voted off over Glenn himself, Satan the “Devil” was voted off over Glenn, THANK GOD FOR THAT!  Glenn was kept on over the vote off of Bin Laden for goodness sake I couldn’t believe some of the pairs they had LOL! Regis Philben won out over vote off of Kelly,  Eliabeth of the view won over vote off of Rosie O’Donnell, and finally Glenn won over the final vote off, over Richard Hatch the felon! These pairs were entertaining to say the least and did make me laugh!!!  Jeff did a good job on who he kept LOL!

     It was very entertaining watching this interview and I learned a lot more about Jeff Probst.  Jeff is a fun person, just like he displays his personality on Survivor.  I would invite Jeff Probst into my house any day not just on the Tv show survivor week to week, but if he were my next door neighbor. Jeff is just an ordinary man doing a job, which just happens to be the Host of Survivor.  When that show ends one day he will move on to other things to do, where he will excel like he always does.  I hope to one day be blessed with the opportunity to meet the grounded and entertaining personality of Jeff Probst and run up to him and whisper that 8 year secret I have had in his sweet little ear. Gloria Query is sending you big JUNGLE KISSES from afar Jeff, and I am dreaming the big Jungle Dream to be a contestant on Survivor!  Remember fans, never give up on your dreams. Make bad impressions into good impressions. Never let anyone no matter what their title tell you “NO.”  Make no’s into yes’es, and always try to prove your real self to all folks.  I have had a long Journey, but time is still ticking. I am wearing my crown with dignity and most of all great HUMOR! MY motto is “Humor is Healer of all Sorrows!  Do or say something funny tomorrow to make somebodies day much better with a good laugh!

        So long Jeff my favorite Host of Survivor! Continue your journey with goodness and Charity. And hey maybe I could be invited over to your house for a good game of cards and my story of an 8 year venture and dream to get on Survivor! Dreaming big for that Invitation Ain’t I Diehard Fans LOL!

                            Gloria Query’s Jungle Talk Interview with Steven Pickett, Diehard Survivor Fan!!

   Gloria Query’s Jungle Talk Interviews!  I’ve decided to write articles where I will interview Diehard Survivor Fans who have tried out for the Survivor Reality show!  All Diehard Fans who are interested in being interviewed for recognition need to e-mail me at gloriasroom@aol.com

Make Sure To Put JUNGLE TALK in the SUBJECT line! Do me a favor and stick to your guns. I am the one who thought up the JUNGLE TALK INTERVIEWS with Diehards Idea, so don’t let anybody else get my title. OK? My title will be GLORIA QUERY THE JUNGLE TALK LADY! So, on with the interview Survivor diehards. Read on! I thought, you always see interviews with past contestants and it was high time you diehards got your time for recognition and I am the one to give it to you! The new show formatted for this Thursday is Fans verses Favorites.  Favorites had their shot at recognition now it’s time for yours  Diehards. LOL!

     I had the great pleasure of interviewing  a very pleasant diehard by the name of Steven Pickett, spelled with double “tt” like pickets in a picket fence. Steven Pickett is 49,  from the city of  El Reno, Oklahoma. He Has been married to his lovely wife Lorna for 26 years.  As a matter of fact Steven said he can’t imagine not being married. That statement is honorable in this day and time with such a high divorce rate. Congratulations to you both on a good marriage, well done LOL!! KEEP UP the good work. He says it is all he knows. He is the proud father of 5 children, ages 15-29 years of age. He has 3 lovely daughters and 2 handsome sons he says ever so proudly like a father who knows his blessings in life. He said his first date with his wife was a blind date that was disastrous.  His friend at work set up the date and it didn’t go well at all he said. He said it was so bad he threw away the phone number, but 2 months later he did find himself looking for the phone number to call her and try it again. His buddy got him the number again. He called her and they went on a movie outting to see the most horrible comedy together called “Ice Pirates.” The movie was terrible but the company was grand he said. Their second date was Novemeber 19, 1981.  A few short months later on January 9, 1982 he ask the lovely Lorna if she would marry him.  She accepted the proposal and they were wed on March 5, 1982 and have enjoyed a joyous union of 26 years.  When speaking of his marriage and family he almost left me in tears from his humbleness and pride of joy.

     Steven owns his own manufacturing business which makes parts for road building equipment.  WOW, I said. He loves his work and likes working hard and doing the best he can for his family.  He puts in long hours and then home to his family he goes he said.

     When ask how many times he tried out for Survivor he started laughing and spouted out the BIG NUMBER “13.”  I said you are a true Diehard if you stuck to it that long. During our interview as it was with my last, it took me 20 minutes longer to interview because of all the shared stories of trying to get on the show, thru all the intense laughter. He kept saying, “Why aren’t you on that show yet?” I said, they just want my number to get as high in volume as it can. The volume is set at “16″ tryouts as we speak.LOL

     I find I really enjoy these interviews because these diehards are so full of life and full of faith and determination for what they want!  Talking about faith, Steven is truely a devout Christian who loves his Church. He is an elder in the Church of the Lutheran faith.  In the Church he is a youth counselor who works closely with 6th graders on up to college age. He’s been working closely with youth since he was the youthful age of 19 himself. As youth counselor he gets to go on many outtings with the youth such as ski trips and other events like going out to play dodgeball or football or whatever event is on the church agenda. He doesn’t sit on the side lines and gets right out there playing with them all, which leads me to know he must be in good shape.  These youths don’t know it, but they are helping to shape this man for Survivor. 

     Asking Steven why he loved Survivor he said that working so closely with youth has taught him how to read people and their actions. He said if you can read youth in this day and time you can read any 15 maniacs that are contestants on Survivor.  He said he loves the show because he likes the graphics of the show and the interaction between the contestants.  Watching them change from show to show is easy to read he said. He said he has seen enough Survivor during the years to know that he would be great on the show and would know how to read people and how to use his own strategy.  One thing he was serious about as far as strategy goes is to get up with the ugliest down graded person on the show and have an alliance with them to the end.  He said get an alliance right away with the ones, team mates are down on, then weekly just stage his plan. The rest of the plan is secretive!

     His primary goal for wanting to be on the show is to do something to better the situation of his family especially the prospects for the future of his 5 children.  He said when he’s long gone from this earth he wants his family to benfit his hard work and devotion.  His secondary goal is to prove what he is capable of doing with his skills when he gets on the show.  He said his interaction with people will be his highest point of advantage over the others, because he has dealt with working with youth so long that it is second nature to him to be able to figure people out and what they are thinking. Survivor is an adventure to him but he said it is not a summer vacation and you have to put everything you have into it to get on and win.  Diehard material is this man’s middle name.

   Ask why he is ultimate Survivor he said again it is his skill of knowing how to read people and the response to it when it happens. He said he has the physique and is in great health, because of all the ventures constantly with the youth.

   I ask if he had used any antics to get on the Survivor show and he said no, but one funny thing happened on one of his video tryout tapes.  he said he was playing golf, a game he loves on one of his tapes and something really funny happened when he kept making a mistake. He said no matter how hard he tried  it kept getting funnier on the tape.  that’s why video is beautiful sometimes, because it can catch the moment for you to look at later and laugh and appreciate.

     What is something you are proud of and it was his family and marriage.  He valued his family, marriage and most of all his faith in God.  He is a God fearing man who loves being an elder at his church. He loves working with youth and praising God!  He counts his blessings every day and doesn’t take them for granted.

     He said when he was younger that he attended Puttnam West High School in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma.  In school he said he was a very shy young man, but getting married having children, and running a business along with church has brought him out of that shyness quite a bit he said. He said  students back from the old school days wouldn’t know me now or believe it!

    I ask him what would he say if he ran into Mark Burnett on the streets tomorrow and he said I would say hello, I’m Steve Pickett shoot the bull and then ask Burnett what’s going on in that head of his, like he was his work buddy.  No use putting on airs he said, I believe in just being myself. I’ve met entertainers and they are just people who do different things than I, he said. He said he met the Gilligan’s  Island Skipper once and Jamie Farr and that’s how they talked, like old time buddies.  Steven likes being just who he is, a Christian who loves church, family, youth and most of All God! Steven is just a REAL person! I liked laughing with Steven and enjoyed talking about his journey with trying to get on Survivor.  He got a few tips from the biggest “Survivor Wannabe” in the country.  Yeah, believe it or not he wanted tips from ME!

      What will you do with the money if you get on Survivor and win. He said 10% to the Church first thing. Can’t forget God and Church he said.  Then take care of my family like he set out to do.   What will you do with the 15 minutes of fame.  He said, be like Tom Westman and back to work I go. It will be over and life goes back to normal. This man thinks like I do. Work never stops even after a Survivor show LOL! His all time favorite contestant on Survivor was “Rupert” and “Tom Westman”.  He liked and respected these two players and how they played the game.

     Survivor will be hearing from Steven Pickett in the future. He is and will try out for the show again when they have more tryouts he said. Nothing ventured nothing gained is the way Steven and I looked at trying out for Survivor.

    At the end of the interview, I was actually so touched with this wonderful, loving and charming man that I ask him to please say a prayer for me.  He said, absolutely I will be glad to pray for you Gloria. Nope, Diehards I didn’t ask for a prayer for me to get on Survivor. It was a more serious nature. Don’t get me wrong Survivor and my dream is very important to me but my prayer was more of a longterm thing I have with God at this time in my life, and I know I can trust Steven Pickett to help me deliver that message to our Lord. I trust him and I would probably have beeen in trouble on Survivor and trusted him if we were team mates. LOL! Good Luck to you Steven! Maybe, I will see you on the boob tube watching you on a Dieahard survivor show sometime.

      It’s been another humorous night, and a touching and blessed inteview. Always remember my motto, “Humor is Healer of All Sorrows!”
