December 18, 2012 03:00:07 by Ryan Haidet
Lisa Whelchel went into Survivor: Philippines with a major secret — being a former television teen star as Blair on “The Facts Of Life.” It was a secret she was able to keep until Jonathan Penner exposed her personal past at the final Tribal Council, which brought stunned stares from nearly everybody who was sitting there. In our exclusive one-on-one red carpet interview with Lisa at the Survivor: Philippines finale, Lisa told us that she was actually very surprised that Penner chose to out her like that. In our brief chat, which you can watch in its entirety inside this article, Lisa also explained that she wasn’t expecting the jury to award her with victory. She also offered an update on her diagnosis with West Nile Virus (which she got in Texas not the Philippines) before revealing details on how she’s about to start a co-hosting role on “The Jeff Probst Show.”

December 18, 2012 02:30:48 by Ryan Haidet
Mike Skupin was one of the three veteran castaways previously evacuated from the game who was selected to compete on Survivor: Philippines. But this wasn’t the first time Skupin was a serious contender as a returning player. In our exclusive one-on-one red carpet interview with Skupin immediately after Denise Stapley was crowned the winner, he listed for us all of the times he was nearly placed back on the show. It’s quite an extensive list and extremely interesting. And although he didn’t pass out and fall into a fire this season, Skupin, who host Jeff Probst has compared to Mr. Magoo, showed off his clumsy side with bumps, cuts and scrapes all over his body. Despite all the blood Skupin spilled in the Philippines, he tells us the injuries weren’t as serious as they appeared. To hear about all that and more, jump inside this article to watch our exclusive red carpet interview with Skupin!

VIDEO Exclusive Interview With Survivor: Philippines Winner Denise Stapley
December 18, 2012 12:00:15 by Ryan Haidet
Denise Stapley, a sex therapist from Iowa, didn’t have an easy road to the $1 million prize on Survivor: Philippines. She was on a tribe that lost ever single challenge before it was dissolved. Even crazier, Denise is the first person in the show’s 25-season history to visit every single Tribal Council without getting voted out of the game. At the end of all 39 days, Denise found herself at the final Tribal Council where she beat veteran castaway Mike Skupin and teen TV star Lisa Whelchel. Whether you were rooting for her to win or not, Denise, in my opinion, is arguably one of the most deserving winners we’ve ever seen. Immediately after Denise was crowned the champion, I spent some time with her on the red carpet to chat about her experience on the show. Jump inside this article to see our entire one-on-one interview with Survivor‘s latest victor.
