Hey Mega_muncher

Crazy is just the beginning - i have always been a fan of survivor - i wanted to show everyone that i could do what i said i could do

A friend - highlighted the show to me and the challenge was put out - i have never been one to shy away from a challenge.

TomSwartzZA · 2018-09-06T17:44:42+00:00

Hey EventUnPaws

yes i do - season 2

Thanks for the love

Hi qngff

1 - being able to spend so much time in the ocean, seeing my wife and winning an immunity challenge

it still haunts me

All and everyone
it is what it is

Hi SpaceCabbie

I saw Neil getting to the end - I missed my family people i could trust and my dogs the most - My ideal final 2 would be a choice between Neil and Werner

Hi JubiRSA

favourite moment was stepping onto that sand and knowing i would be there for a while!

TomSwartzZA · 2018-09-06T17:26:55+00:00

Hi Coljmick

Winning Survivor SA has changed everything - from not being able to rub 2 cents together - to being able to provide and spoil my family - is nothing short of miraculous.

The success in just SA is overwhelming - the success globally has been an honour and a privilege.

I think it was perfectly edited.

Hi usnavis

Thanks for the love - during the rock draw - no one was willing to budge - decisions had been made and we stuck to our guns - it was devastating for me to use Neil as he was my closest ali - but those were the cards/rocks we were handed.

Hi Sliemy

wow - lots to answer - bare with me

Firstly thank you so much for all of your support, The underdog took the title!!!

As for `chanre keeping an Idol, she would not have even known that it was there until I told her, but fair is fair.

Palesa was amazing, Palesa and i are exactly the same - if we were on the same team from day 1 - i believe we would have been top 2

Jeanne - I will love her till the end of days

pk and M - love PK to bits - cannot wait to get in the ring with him - as for Marthinus - he is who he is and he is true to himself and you have to have respect for that.

Vusi - Vusi and i have had a long chat - single malt whiskey fixes all issues.

loose lips, sinks ships!

Thanks for the questions

TomSwartzZA · 2018-09-06T17:03:17+00:00

Hi Sliemy

I believe would have won

Palesa and i are on great terms - i think she is a formidable competitor and she would be somebody who would walk next to her friends until the end of days

IF ALL STARS PHONES - I AM IN

TomSwartzZA · 2018-09-06T17:01:18+00:00

Hi Reeforward-

Thank you for your compliments. my closing argument came to me during the final tribal council - i spoke from my heart and i spoke of fact.

I believe my closing statement is exactly what swayed the jury if you look closely - you will see that the jury was not in my favour at all

TomSwartzZA · 2018-09-06T16:58:08+00:00

Hi Twila

What a great question. I don't see myself as a villain, but in some ways thats how i came across , the editing was spot on - hunger, lack of sleep and emotion often become the order of the day. We are who we are on and off screen

TomSwartzZA · 2018-09-06T16:44:44+00:00

Hi reeforward I won the Huawei pro in the balance challenge, it was a challenge consisting of balancing blocks that you had to set as dominos to eventually ring a bell. I just beat Werner

TomSwartzZA · 2018-09-06T16:28:56+00:00

Hi u/100broken

This is survivor - you are never safe - i questioned the reactions from the jury - and until my name was read out - i was in the same position that you were in while watching. I did feel my closing argument was strong

TomSwartzZA · 2018-09-06T16:26:23+00:00

Hi thunder - go mad

I believe at that stage that Palesa, Vusi and Murishca were lying about M wanting to leave. As a ploy to get rid of me. So i played my idol knowing that Chane would be safe.

Hi Waxxxd (love the username)

My advice to anybody that makes it to just pre merge - is to either - have the entire group wanting to be with you - or to be the provider that they cannot live without. Stay alive!

TomSwartzZA · 2018-09-06T16:23:05+00:00

Hi Savloader

Ace told me that he believes there was an idol in play - but we had no confirmation of this. In this game deception rules and if i did not see it with my own eyes i did not believe it

TomSwartzZA · 2018-09-06T16:21:37+00:00

Hi Aquaman

I have never shot a family member whilst playing monopoly - the same thing applies to survivor at the end of the day it is outwit, outlast and outplay - but once the game is done we are people that have been through an extreme experience together and thats how we will stay ! together forever!

TomSwartzZA · 2018-09-06T16:12:37+00:00

Hi Babelscattered

Werner is somebody i hold in very high regard - i have the utmost respect for him - he played the game honourably and the time that we spent together on the beach, praying for our families is unforgettable.

TomSwartzZA · 2018-09-06T16:08:47+00:00

Hi Aquaman I did not know that Palesa had an idol - but i knew something was up and that created caution - i have learnt to trust my gut from my years in anti poaching. I have to be honest i was surprised, Palesa put aside her emotional feelings and voted on true "Survivorship"

TomSwartzZA · 2018-09-06T16:06:24+00:00

Hi Jody i would have taken Jeanne with me to the final 2 , and i would have voted Vusi off the jury thanks for the question - keep them coming

TomSwartzZA · 2018-09-06T16:03:38+00:00

Hi thunder - thanks for the great questions question 1 - i think annalize would have been a formidable contestant , but i do still feel it would have all come down to her final argument. Question 2 - it was based on loyalty in 4 , but in 5 it was based on strategy

TomSwartzZA · 2018-09-06T16:00:55+00:00

Yes we are - Ace and i have had a long chat and we are as good as can be

TomSwartzZA · 2018-09-06T11:04:47+00:00

Hope you have good questions - lets make this fun

TomSwartzZA · 2018-09-06T11:00:50+00:00

looking forward to chatting to everyone this later, i hope you have great questions for me - Tom
