From MSN.com's pre-game interview with Jeff Probst:
"Bill says: What I love about the military is being able to push mind and body past the limits that it's ever been before. I live in uncomfortable and awkward moments. I don't want to be cool anymore.
Jeff says: Bill is somebody you can cuddle next to and not feel like he was going to grope you, and he's somebody that could high-five another guy. I feel like, if Bill just stays out of the way, he could go very deep."
From his CBS bio page:
"Hobbies: Photography, tennis and music.
Pet Peeves: Clichés
3 Words to Describe You: Funny, adaptable and persistent.
Reason for Being on Survivor: To push my mind and body to the limit.
Why You Think You'll "Survive" Survivor: Athletic ex-military experience, intelligence, competitive spirit, ability to adapt and being a team player.
Why You Think You Will Be the Sole Survivor: I am physically capable; I make a great teammate and would do whatever it takes."
