Maria: Hi! Thanks for the questions... sorta! (laughs)

1) I told everyone at Ponderosa when I arrived there. They were surprised initially, but Misty (I think it was) said that it explained everything. When it aired on TV, Ryan called me and couldn't believe that he hadn't picked up on it!

2) I knew I'd get this question. The first couple of challenges pre-merge were just about us winning so we had the numbers advantage. Then when I got to the fourth round, it was about making sure I was safe because I wasn't confident on numbers. By the time I got to the post-merge everyone knew I was a huge challenge beast and I knew that I'd be on the Jury the first time I lost, so I just had to keep winning and winning to make sure I was safe.

3) I was definitely closest with Celia but she gave me a frosty reception when I got to Ponderosa. We've patched things up now, though, and although we aren't as close as we were before it happened, we're still very good friends.

4) Honestly, Phyllis. We were so much more than a strategic duo; we actually got along so well. A lot of what was shown was just the strategy part, but we bonded quite closely. I was pleased they showed our conversation in my boot episode so people could see just how close we were.
