Orato.com: What's it like to wake up a millionaire?
Parvati: I wake up in the morning and I piss excellence; I'm not going to lie. Just kidding, that's a little quote from Talladega Nights. I don't know because I didn't go to bed last night. I'm very delirious and I might be babbling so you guys will have to bear with me.
Orato.com: How did you celebrate last night?
Parvati: Everyone went out and it was fun. We drank some champagne, dranks some shots and just hung out. It was good.
Orato.com: Ozzy was pretty sore with you at that last jury. What was it like to sit there and hear him unload on you?
Parvati: It was pretty rough because you just go through that whole experience, which is so draining, and then you have to go there and face up to what you've done in the game. Everyone's pretty angry and I got the backlash. Amanda felt some of it too and it wasn't pretty. It doesn't make you feel good. You realize it's a game, you hurt these people's feelings, and they have every right to lash out.
Orato.com: How will you mend that bridge, if you haven't already?
Parvati: I haven't really put myself out there to talk to him because I didn't want him to think that I was trying to shmooze him over. I didn't want him to feel like I was trying to use him, but I'm going to talk to him now and make sure everything's cool. Aussie's a mature guy and I think he can distinguish between the game and real life.
It's Survivor, and everyone's out to win. Me personally, I wasn't there to hold Ozzy's hand to the final two and let him win.
Orato.com: What about Natalie's rather provocative question to you about how your flirtatiousness translates into the bedroom in your real life?
Parvati: (laughs) Natalie...I think she was honestly just trying to lighten the mood of that tribal council because it was so bizarre and heated, with so much emotion. (pause and more laughter)
I was a little confused. I didn't know what to say, but I told her I'd give her an honest answer, so I answered.
Orato.com: It's been said you played the "flirt card" beautifully - do you credit your win to being the flirtatious hot one who edged Amanda out?
Parvati: No. I think the reason I got a couple more votes than Amanda was because I owned up to the moves that I made and didn't apologize for making those strategy moves, some of which weren't pretty. I felt I had to do it to survive. Amanda tried to please the jury and make them happy, whereas I just kind of gave it to them straight.
I didn't win because I'm a flirt. I won because I owned this game.
