Intouch Interview with Pirate John


--- Quote ---NICE TRY TO SAVE YOURSELF AT PIRATES' COURT. WHY DIDN'T IT WORK?
John: I'm a goofy dancing fool. I tried to leverage a lot of my success in terms of convincing people to mutiny, and it wasn't shown. At pirates court, a lot was explained to us that we didn't already know, and it changed the game dramatically, but I had already stolen the compasses. That wasn't enough. I kept them after I got on the raft, so those compasses did leave the game. I got on that raft and I was a little bit bitter, but then I had to laugh at myself, it was funny, to see their jaws drop, it was an absurd situation. You know I always knew I was gonna either go first or win the whole thing. I wasn't surprised.
--- End quote ---


Possibly that the winning team each week chooses a new Captain?

Buddy TV  Interview with John

But the main thing that I was expecting was a lot of hard work and just general difficulty with getting the ship going. And I expected just tremendous challenges physically in the expedition and all kinds of things like that. So, you know, my preparation was more like sort of physical, you know. Taking my fitness from a 9.5 to a 9.9 and you know in terms of just being to run fast.  So, it didn’t really make a tremendous amount of difference in that regard and so the things that I was expecting were like, okay, the ship needs to get somewhere so we have navigational skills, survival skills on the ocean. You know, all kinds of general competencies that would be required on a pirate ship, you know, sailing and all kinds of things. It turned out we kind of had a ghost crew in production that was actually getting us there and you’re really…the basic idea was that the show must go on, so we didn’t need that kind of an element. We didn’t have that much of a particular challenge in terms of like, if the food was going to be there, it was going to get delivered. There was nothing we could do about that, necessarily. You know, there was very little we could do to ameliorate our situation in terms of how much we ate and whether we found the treasure or not because, you know, like I said, the show must go on, the treasure will be found. And the boat will get to the point where the treasure is and it will run smoothly and that was kind of the way it works.

The thing that really struck me about myself in terms of what they were showing from a personal perspective was the overbearing arrogance and I…you know, when I went out on the thing, I knew that was going to happen because I had as much fun as I could with it. You know, how many chances do you get to go out and be a wild, completely zany, off-the-wall pirate that is not only, you know…he’s not only a little bit eccentric but also arrogant and every little bit of psychology that you don’t really get to express in your everyday life in a cubicle job and you know, locked up in a science laboratory with people that don’t want to see anything more than just nose to the grind stone. That’s when I came out and showed and it was just fun, I had fun with it and I hope that people understand that instead of saying, “This guy is an arrogant asshole.” And I hope…I don’t know if you could air that but…

TexasLady:
Interesting interview Georgia Peach, it humanizes him. It does destroy the myth though of a pirate crew on their own battling the elements, fishing for their food, or starving like Survivor. Meals delivered and a ghost crew to make them comfy!  :lol3:

Another interview with John

RC: Do you think that Joe Don’s days are numbered as captain?

John: At that point on the show, I saw a mentality developing where people had accepted their role as subservient to this guy. As a viewer, I think it’s difficult to understand that it’s more than just people thinking logically about the game. When you’re really in the situation & you live it, this guy isn’t just some reality contestant who gets nominated as captain. He IS the captain. I don’t think things are going to change anytime soon.

TannerB:
In my opinion JD I think JD won't be Captain long in truth I dont' think anybody who is captain will be it for long. Not will all the strong personalities who want to lead. Eventually someone will over throw him.
