**How do you handle conflict and drama in your own life, and how do you think you'll manage them at the Resort?** I'm not afraid of a little conflict. I'd like to think I'm actually pretty good at conflict resolution considering I manage what ultimately amounts to a bunch of grown babies.
**Do you have any fears or concerns about being isolated on his grandiose island?** Eh, not particularly. What's not to like about it?

**Do you have any special talents or skills that you think will help you in the game?** I believe my unmatched determination and drive will give me a competitive edge, but that's about all I can think of.
**What will you miss the most while away from normal, everyday life?** My girls: that is, both my team and my girlfriend. My mother too, for that matter.
**How important is winning to you?** I've trained to win everything I've ever competed in. Losing is never an option.
**What would you do with the money if you won?** I'd invest in some equipment and supplements to help train my team more efficiently. Leftovers would sit in my savings.
