‘Survivor’ hero Rupert Boneham: ‘Darn right I wanna do it again’ – From Inside the Box – Zap2it

Once you were voted off, who were rooting for?
I will have to say that I hope our one last Hero makes it to the final three. I would love to see a Hero sitting in that final Tribal Council. The odds are kind of stacked against him, so I don’t know. It is probably that 1000 to 1 shot. And I have to say, Parvati, even though she’s a villain, she is the one that stood up every time with the Immunity Challenges … people were dropping out for food and Parvati stood there. I wasn’t really happy with that [laughs], but it gave me more respect for her.

Russell has been a very polarizing “Survivor” figure. Do you still have a bad taste in your mouth about Russell or did that subside once you were away from the game?
You know, living through it and then watching it again on TV, Russell is the kind of person that I would never really hang out with, that I would never really be involved with, but I don’t give that type of person the ability to have control over how I feel. If he wants to be Evil Russell, more power to him. I feel bad for him sometimes, him and his family, because that’s a bad row to hoe. Being the Evil Guy on TV … I mean, my daughter and I love going to school because we’re the good guys and the Heroes. Schools and hospitals, they love us. I don’t think I’d like to be on the other side.

Any messages to your fans?
The same way that everybody helped me win the popularity contest in “All-Stars” — we’ve got another chance to vote for me in “Heroes vs. Villains.” If they can get out there and vote, I would love that. My fans know that it’s not just for me, it’s for everyone around us. It’s for our mentoring program, Rupertskids.org. Go see what we’ve been doing, we’re trying to spread it nationwide.
