I got the impression that he expected her to be a stupid blond bimbo like Parvati and Amanda, or a power hungry bitch, but she was older and wiser, maybe he said gentle, also. I think the mentioned that he had nice talks with her at Loser Lodge, but I might be mistaken. That might have been JFP. I think it might be more an issue of his expectations being different than her actually being more interesting than anyone else.

HE said that, not me. The first question he got was "What did you learn about yourself during the show". Answer: "That I'm not a people person". He said a few times that he didn't read people as well as he thought he could. He said he should have spent more time talking to Cirie. He should have been aware of the group dynamics. I think Cirie's flip really surprised him. I think this reference is more a matter of his perception of other people than his ability to get along with or persuade, although, he wasn't able to persuade her either.

If I hadn't messed up the recording, you could hear for yourself.

And, he's as nice on the phone as he is on TV. I'd hang out with him any time. He's a great guy. Not a manipulator or a lier or cynical, so he didn't do well at Survivor.
