Wyatt: 

1) If I had a dollar for every time someone asked me this question, I wouldn't need to be a scientist anymore! (giggles) Short answer, no. We're six years apart, live on opposite sides of the country, and she's interested in some guy back in Tampa. Even if she wasn't, I wouldn't go there. Kryshelle and I are just very, very good friends.

2) Kryshelle and I have remained extremely close friends. As for Brucey, him voting me out really, really stung me for a long time. My best friend voted me out for reasons I didn't understand. I couldn't deal with him for a little while. Eventually I got over it, though. I caught up with Brucey in Cali one time and we smoothed things over. The friendship isn't as strong as it was on the island but it's still a friendship.

3) On the show I mentioned that I'd been bullied a lot in high school and my friends had tried to steer me away from science, like that friend who deleted my entire paper the night before it was due. The phrase itself is seen by a lot of people as a compliment but for me it's the negative connotations associated with the phrase. So that's why it upsets me. Thanks for the question!
