Season 4's winner marched into the studio with his tiny body, and his glasses larger than ever. His feet were still bigger than his legs, and especially his torso, and he still looks 12, despite being in his mid 20s. He opened the door to see Josh and the prying camera crew's eyes on him, "Hello everyone. Your eager looks scare me, but I don't think I have much dirt on me, or much hatred to come my way, right?"

"You'll be surprised, come on and sit down Cameron. I'm not going to bite," Josh quickly spoke, ushering the winner to sit in front of him, "Or at least not in the beginning, I won't bite". He pulled out his collage of pictures, and started his narration, "I'm gonna get right to the point. I am going to start with the "Revenge of the Island" cast, and give you a picture of each of them alphabetically, where you will describe your opinions of them while on the show, and since the show. We will then continue this with the first castmates that you competed on "All-Stars" with as well." Once Cameron shook his head in agreement, Josh gave him a picture of the Snooki wannabe, "So Anne Maria is first. How did you deal with her? Especially during the mess with Zoke?"

Cameron's eyes widened as he received the picture, "Anne Maria was... A LOT to deal with. She was very aggressive and defensive, where her behavior truly shocked me, as I never really understood why or how she would act like that. Someone like her I had only seen... actually, I wasn't allowed to see those shows, but from what I heard of those trashy shows, and I made a comment about her being similar to one of those awful cartoons and animes, where she LOST HER MIND, and she was about to beat me up. A few weeks later, we DID try to clear things up, and I tried apologizing to her, but she didn't believe me, and baited me into saying more things about her, as she was asking me about her makeup. I told her how not only did it not compliment her skin and features, but it was toxic to the environment, which said a lot, since we were already in a toxic environment. Ironically, it was the Mike and Zoey situation that caused our relationship to improve."

Josh raised his eyebrows, "Really, cause I heard something different. She said that you initially laid into her about getting with Zoey's man, but she said that things initially improved with you two during the night challenge, as you cheered her up."

"Oh, that. Anne Maria was having an episode of not being the smartest, and I gave her a motivational cheer about there being so much more to her than her looks. She is very intuitive actually, and picks up on a lot of things that many people did, but she needs to embrace it more. They didn't show that on the episode, but she thrived after I gave her that advice, since she's someone who admitted that she had to use her looks to get by in life, and was more street smart than book smart. She became easier to deal with and speak to after that, and she did ask me for advice with how to deal with the situation with Zoey and Mike. I promised Mike already that I couldn't tell anyone about his D.I.D., but I told Anne Maria as much as I could. She told me about her quitting, and I really tried my best to get her to stay, and that the diamond isn't as valuable as she thought it was. She did not listen to me whatsoever, and would come to regret that choice."

"I heard that she tried to get you and Lightning to make up, after falling out with one another later on in the season. What is your perspective on this?" the host asked with curiosity in his demeanor.

Cameron sighed in distress from the mention, "Yes, she did spend a few years doing that. Lightning and her started having sexual intercourse with one another right after the season, which is SO nauseating to think about, and he was even living with her for a few months at that point in time. They were never in an official relationship, but because of this, she tried several times to bring us together, and to get us to move on from what happened on the island. We both thought the other spread stories about our families, and after him and I getting into it at Playa during "All-Stars", things got worse, mainly with Jo trying to stir things up. I told her that he was planning on leeching from her financially for life, while messing with other women the entire time. We remained good friends, and she helped me with fashion and posture, but things fell apart two years ago. She took my words of me feeling lonely after Mike and Zoey got engaged, and feeling like I didn't matter, and twisted it into SOMETHING ELSE, which caused Mike and Zoey to distance themselves from me. She told me to stop living under their asses, and they only hang out with me because they know I will always be there conveniently for them, and is nothing like a third wheel. I told them BOTH this, and the three of us got into it with Anne Maria. What no one knew was that Lightning told her a bunch of things about me, which he got from BRICK of all people, and Brick in general spoke negatively about Mike, Zoey, and I, but would use Anne Maria and Lightning to say it for them. We made up through social media, but we haven't spoken much since."

Josh wanted to move on, so he handed the next picture, "B is someone who you did not spend much time with on the show. You two were on opposite teams, he was booted early, and he only competed on one season. What did you think about him?"

A smile formed on his face, "We never got to converse on the season for the reasons you stated, outside of us and Lightning agreeing on having an all-black alliance. Obviously that did not work, since I wasn't on their team, and he was booted early, but I always got a good, positive vibe from him, and I wanted to get to know him more. The cast would meet up once every year for about a week or two, and we would have these great conversations about mathematics, science, technology, etc. and we both bonded about being black and being nerds, since it was something we both were made fun of about in our lives. Uncoincidentally, we both ended up going to the same university, and we faced A LOT of discrimination together, since we went to an I.T. school that was predominantly Caucasian. It really bonded us together, and he did speak verbally with me, but we both learned sign language during this period, just so we could find alternative ways for communication, since he doesn't like to verbalize. Once we went to grad school, we started drifting, but I do converse and visit him every once in a while, so he's one of my closer friends. And what's amazing about it is that we didn't even bond about the show at all."

"So from the little we saw, it was clear that you and Brick had some sort of respect for one another, but I don't remember the two of you hanging out much outside of the show, and from his interview, there was some contention that built up over the years. What is your thought on this, and him overall?"

He took Brick's picture into his hands, and had an unreadable expression, "Brick is a VERY multifaceted man, and he GENUINELY IS a good person. He was very intimidating to me at first, since he is a physical specimen, had the buzzcut, came from the military, and his unibrow scared the heck out of me. But he would kind of take me under his wing to train, and he told me that I reminded him a lot of himself when he was younger. Brick always gave me strong advice on how to build confidence within myself, and tried to get me to become physically stronger. Him and I also bonded about being mama's boys, and it's nice to have someone relate to you on that level, and it showed me that people that look like him... could be like me. There was a point in time where he was my closest friend on the island."

Josh was getting kind of confused, "So what happened, at least from your perspective? After the salute, he said that the two of you did not speak much, and your statement about being your closest friend is in past tense."

"All of the positives I said about Brick are true, but... he ALSO has another side to him, which can be VERY contradictory to his positives. He has a DESPERATE need to be liked, even if it's by people who have shown time and time again to not be good people, like Lightning and Jo. Brick started hanging out with them A LOT after the show, and even after he switched teams, he became REALLY CLOSE with Scott and Lightning, to the point that he would let them make fun of Sam, and he would add his two cents. Due to all of the bullying and trauma he went through, that he never went to therapy for, but just overcompensated by becoming muscular, that he kind of... is a glutton for people like that. He LET Lightning spread MALICIOUS rumors about my mother and I for YEARS, and NEVER did anything. He let Jo HARASS me and did nothing for years. I finally blew his spot, and exposed that he was sleeping with her, and that he's a beta male who has this sick deviation and need to be dominated. I said everything that everyone had been thinking, and said behind his back, which I said TO HIS FACE, and Brick told me that I'm a horrible person. Brick blames me for B thinking that him and Dawn had an emotional affair, but I pointed out the obvious, and Dawn AGREED with Brick fulfilling her emotionally when B wasn't. Truthfully, Brick admires, and wants to be like Lightning and Scott, which I found to be pathetic, since he positioned himself as someone who is righteous."

Dakota's picture was handed to the winner, and Josh with a more monotone voice introduced her, "I do not remember you having anything to do with Dakota throughout the show. Was there any conversation between the two of you? The thought of it just seems pretty boring to me."

He shrugged his shoulders, "She was just very vain and very annoying, even compared to Anne Maria. Dakota only cared about fame, and didn't even hidden strengths or smarts that would make her useful, and was incapable of speaking about anything worthy to talk about. Dakota definitely caught my interest during her... transition, though that sounds very awful to say."

"Because it is fucking awful Cameron. You only care about people when they become experiments. We saw this with Mike, and now you are talking about doing the same thing to Dakota. You are really missing a humanity chip."

"I just... never saw anything like Dakotazoid come to be in front of my very own eyes. Her hair changed color and was texturized differently, her eyes changed into something that I cannot even describe, her elbows became like claws, her skin became orange, her feet became like rabbit feet, and SHE GREW A DAMN TAIL! Form a scientific point of view, I was breath taken, but from a personal level, I did feel really sorry for her. Sam told me on "All-Stars" about how HARD she was taking everything, and she put on a front to make it seem like she was okay, despite the attention she was getting. Sam reached out to me, in order to help Dakota with her transition, so I was able to study the situation a lot closer. Dakota yelled and threatened me every step of the way, and it got SO BAD to the point that she literally THREW ME OUT OF THE HOUSE. All I wanted to do was help, but she thought that I was using her as a science project. Once she started becoming normal, she DEMANDED to Sam that he never speak to me again."

Josh shook his head in disapproval, "And I don't blame Dakota at all for tossing your ass out. You didn't care about her as a person, but wanted to use her as a biological and scientific experiment, hoping that you will get a medal at a fair on." He went to reach for another picture, "Alright, Dawn is next. What do you think of her?"

His tipped his head on each side, as he looked at the picture, "We never became close on the show. She would psychoanalyze me, and while I was all for that, she used auras and other spiritual stuff, while I liked to use science, biology, and... fact. During the show, we had a lot of... interesting, friendly, but heated debates about seeing vs feeling, and she's a really smart girl who means well. When Scott framed her, it was clear TO ME that she was being lied on, and she would never do anything like that. I think a lot of people were creeped out by her, and used it as an excuse to get rid of her. Many felt bad over the next few days, and I told many that it wasn't her, and I wrote down everything about the situation that was odd, causing most of the cast to believe me. When B and I went to school together, Dawn visited a lot, and I saw their relationship play out. They worked so well together, and she also learned sign language with the two of us, so we all had that bond. The two of them found so many ways of communicating with one another, which was just fascinating to watch. She also taught me a lot about spirituality during those years, but she was also hanging out with a lot of social butterflies from the first cast. She didn't know how it felt like to have a lot of friends, to be social, to go out a lot, and to be liked, so I think she found B to be unfulfilling. After her and Brick broke up, she told me that she regretted ever getting with Brick, and knew deep down that he was using her as a rebound, but she didn't care because she was using him to fill a need. I feel like we are friends, but not close friends."

He could not help but start laughing when he handed Cameron the next picture, "This next person is gonna be a good one. Actually, the next two are gonna be great. You and Jo had a volatile relationship from the very beginning of the season, but then she conveniently decided to force you as an ally, only for you to blindside her. What is your perspective on your interactions with her?"

Immediate anger ran through the young man, "Joanna, Josephine, whatever her name is made my life VERY MISERABLE on the island from the start. At first I thought I did something wrong, maybe I said the wrong thing, but nothing came to mind. Jo was ACTUALLY MAD that we technically won the first challenge, and stated I would have, and should have been gone first, even over Staci. She went out of her way to remind me how weak I was, and I told her MANY TIMES that there's more to this show than physicality, like mental strength, social skills, luck, and strategy. During the second challenge, she kept on making fun of me, especially after Chris revealed some private things about me. A bunch of comments about me being a baby, wearing a diaper, and all of it was uncalled for. What they DIDN'T show was that she kept making fun of my mother, and having a close relationship with one. But I eventually realized, and I was told that it's because Jo has NO relationship with her mother, who abandoned Jo because she thought Jo was a man at first. We kind of left one another alone for the next few weeks, since I won that challenge. We actually had a few discussions that went well, but once Anne Maria and Zoey called out her bluff regarding Brick, she LOST HER MIND ON ALL OF US, and this was during the fourth challenge. They didn't show ANY of that, and then Jo all of a sudden started making fun of Brick and I PRETTY HARD, and even THROWING ME TO A TREE. Her attitude became so much worse, and the ENTIRE TRIBE agreed to get rid of Jo after losing the challenge. Jo had SEVERAL meltdowns that they didn't even show that episode. It seemed like she would congratulate me whenever I would do well in a challenge, but she would dismiss me again."

"So how was it like when you started working with her during the merge. She initially rejected you, but then forced you into working with her during the next episode, and you... plot her doom. How did it feel?"

Looking back, he could only let out a maniacally laugh, "I honestly thought that it was a good move. It was the merge, and I needed a fourth ally, where no one would see Jo and I aligning as a thing. Lightning was a non-factor, and I knew Scott was up to something evil, so Jo wasn't on my radar as someone to target. And the fact that she thought that SOMEONE who called her a girl, made sexist and borderline transphobic remarks at her was a better ally, just because he has muscles was a JOKE to me. Of course instead of apologizing for making the wrong move, and acknowledging that I was right, she FORCED me to align with her. Jo STOLE my creations, demeaned me, and really showed how little respect she had for me. They didn't even show that she started the mother insults again, saying that she should have disciplined me, and Jo will have no problem discipling me. Ultimately, Scott technically did not do anything to me through the season, so I was fine with getting Jo out. Her not supporting me in the finale was not surprising. We did not speak throughout the rest of the post-season, and I liked that we had absolutely no conversation throughout the next year, and we had no conversation when we were in "All-Stars" together,... at least until we were both eliminated."

That peaked his interest, "What happened between the two of you at "Playa des Losers"? Y'all really had no reason to feel any type of way towards one another this season, due to being on opposite teams, and her early elimination."

"Once I got there, Jo IMMEDIATELY snapped at me. She made her pre-game plans with some of the people who were supposed to be on the season WAY TOO OBVIOUS, I as well as Mike and Zoey mentioned this to the producers, which caused a last-minute cast swap. Jo blames THAT for the reason why she was booted early, though she turned on Lightning, who WAS a part of that pre-season alliance, and she couldn't keep up with the other villains socially, competitively, or strategically. We got into an argument about her poor gameplay, and her not learning from her faults that lead to her downfall last season. There was another situation where Lightning and I finally sat down, and ATTEMPTED to make up on our own, without mediators for the first time. It was actually going somewhat well until Jo BARGED IN THE ROOM, and threw out A BUNCH of insults about both of our parents, and who leaked what to Staci, who leaked it to the blogs, which caused tension again. And the last incident involved Alejandro, and he came back on a MISSION to humiliate, and to "call me out about something" relating to Sierra, and Jo said that she knew that I was full of crap, and even more villainous than everyone else, since no one lied about being assaulted. I told her that she needs to worry about her father issues, and not having a mother in her life, while also being mad that she is chemically imbalanced with the estrogen/steroid in her body. Jo RAN to tell people like Brick what happened, they leaked EVERYTHING that happened to the blogs, and really tried sabotaging me. What disappointed me was that some of the people who I THOUGHT were good people supported her actions. It got so bad to the point where I had to put a gag order on her. I've heard of the things that was happening with her and some other people for the years afterwards, and then she started harassing B to get more information about Dawn and Brick, and I told him to sue her."

His eyes widened from all of the information, and he was even starting to drool, "Ooh, how juicy all of that was. Definitely another example of the behind-the-scenes stuff is better than what made it on air. Your other main enemy is Lightning, and it's weird, since you two worked together at first to get Jo out, but things got ugly VERY fast."

Immediate tension ran through Cameron's body as he received a picture of Lightning, but made a few heavy breaths to calm himself down, "Lightning was actually nice to me, and was the person that saved me from drowning, though he thought that I was a girl. Generally, we never really spoke for much of the season, but I noticed how he treated a lot of his teammates, and I did not respect it. Him and Sam got into a lot of disagreements, but Lightning never did anything to me at the time, so I did not want to immediately write him off. Lightning did have an issue with mis-gendering people, and it did show his ignorance, since he continued calling me a girl for about a month, but he eventually got that I was a guy by the time the merge happened. In general, what was shown on the show during those last 4 episodes was accurately portrayed with what happened with Lightning and I. He turned on me first, but he was mad that I out-cunned him by winning the final 4 immunity. Lightning was wrong because he thought his deceit, which he LITERALLY got mad at Jo for doing to him 2 episodes earlier. What they did not show was that Zoey had to be my bodyguard for the week it was just the three of us, and production had to stay with me at ALL TIMES during the finale. What REALLY hurt me, and turned me off from him was what happened AFTER the season."

"What happened after the season? There was some mention about both of your parents being involved in the feud."

"Apparently Lightning's father had some history with my mother, which STACI found out, since she's good at all of that mess. A LOT of stories came out about my mother, and neither one of us knew where it was coming from, so it was Staci who told me where it came from. The stories claimed that she was a prostitute, how she gave birth to me early, and I was small because she was doing drugs when I got pregnant, and even more libelous stuff. So I went into researching info about HIS family, and I told Staci and some other bloggers about it, which wasn't Sierra. Anne Maria tried getting us to make up, since she was having a sexual relationship with him, and it did not work. There was one time where she invited me to her house, and he was there. She told me that he was living there, and I told her that she's making a mistake, and that there's a reason why his parents, Brick, Scott, Dawn, and so many other people kicked him out. Lightning literally punched me and strangled me for a good 20 seconds. At that point, I did throw a few punches, scratches, and she had to SPLIT US UP. Once she pulled him back, I threw a glass at the back of his head. It was BAD!"

Josh was completely bewildered, "I never knew that you THREW DOWN like that Cameron, though it's hard to believe that you could ever do any sort of damage. But you mentioned earlier that the two of you tried making amends once you were both eliminated from the following season."

Cameron continued with his sentiments, "We didn't have a chance to speak during "All-Stars", but I guess he had some time to think, and he actually approached me to talk. Lightning said that he didn't care about last season's shit, and how I acted this season somehow showed that my win was a farce. I stated the facts that he was booted second in the season, and I outdid him by a lot. He said that after kicking back for the last several weeks, that he wanted no drama at all. Him and Jo even came to a cordial understanding, and he did the same with Sam, so he wanted to do it with me. I told him that I wanted him to apologize publicly to my mother, and right when he was about to agree, Jo did her pot stirring BS again, and we didn't even come to a final agreement. I started hanging out with Sam a lot, and he would have Lightning and I do some activities with him, so a lot of the tension cleared. It wasn't until Brick came back into the picture after the season, and I saw how those two were reacting where Lightning went back to talking trash about me, and they both continued the narrative of me turning into a bad person in the press. I DID send Lightning a cease and desist, and that was the last time we had any interaction."

He went to grab another picture quickly, "So you're all about the lawsuits. Anyways, Mike is your best, and most likely only male friend in your entire life, so how do you view your friendship with him over the last 9 years?"

Cameron started speaking before even picking up the picture, "Well, Dawn and I had a discussion around the first two days about Mike, and we both pretty much assumed that he had Dissociative Identity Disorder, but that's not something you declare for a fact, unless you have a lot of facts that would be grounds for confirmation. I noticed how he would change personalities during his sleep, he would have a lot of nightmares, and he would ALWAYS be covered. Whenever we talked, he would want to know about my personal life, and I had no issue telling him, since he was genuinely interested, but he would never talk about his personal life, so whole we got along, it was hard to get to know him. When the drama with Anne Maria and Zoey started, I felt like I had to get involved at that point, because it was affecting our team, and Brick who would have usually mediated it was put on the other team. I told Mike that he needs to shut this down, and I tried hinting to him that I know about his disorder, but it caused him to clam up even more. In general, we really bonded during the mine episode, and he finally confessed to his condition, and I told him that I would keep it secret for him. He told me during that challenge when we were split up how he got all of his personalities, and he went through A LOT of trauma from so many people. In general, I felt like during his last weeks, our increasing friendship made things worse between Zoey and I, since she felt left out. Luckily we all were able to clear things up, and he was my biggest supporter in the finale."

Josh wanted to get deeper if he could, "So what happened once you all went to real life, and how did things change during "All-Stars", or after you all were completely done with the show?"

"Well, Mike lived in a different province from Zoey and I, so he felt like he was on the outside looking in, though we all met up during the promo events we needed to attend for the season, and during every holiday, while Skyping every other week. Entering "All-Stars", I told him that he was going to have to make up with Anne Maria, but he was NOT looking forward to it, and outright refused. Once I heard about the alliance that was being planned, I agreed with him and Zoey to report it to the producers. He said that he was going to use his personalities to his advantage, and I was going to help him do that. It was so cool that the three of us could be on the same team again, and we also got closer to Sam during this period, as neither one of us got the chance to get to know him well on the last season. Mike ended up deteriorating through the season, and didn't tell anyone about it, which was disappointing. What no one knows is that he went to the same facility that Sierra did after the season, since he needed intense rehabilitation for regressing into Mal, and... I didn't visit him."

Josh let out a gasp, and his eyes widened at the revelation, "You didn't visit him? After being his biggest supporter about dealing with his condition on the show? That's beyond horrible Cameron. How do you justify this?"

He sighed in regret, "I didn't want to run into Sierra, and I told him and Zoey that I could not risk it for my own well being. He was hurt, and it strained our friendship for a bit, especially since I felt like neither him nor Zoey took a stand against Sierra during, or after "All-Stars". Sierra did get out first, so I did visit him eventually, but he then didn't even want to see me. It took A LOT of time for us to get over that rift, and it was due to the help of Gwen, Zoey, Sam, and Trent who was dating Gwen again. We all went to school in the same city, but Mike and Zoey went to one that was across the city, so we didn't see one another as much, but still made our way to hang out every other week. After we all graduated, the three of us agreed to live with one another, but then it became clear that I went back to overly relying on the both of them, which happened during "All-Stars", and even the year beforehand. They were planning their wedding, were doing better than me career-wise at the time, since my businesses did not fully take off yet, and I just felt unfulfilled. I vented to Anne Maria about this, and I thought she was going to support me like she usually did. She was cool with Zoey at this point, but still loathed Mike, so she not only used that to try and get me to turn against him, but she also told this to other people. THAT caused Mike and I to come together properly, and I saw his points about her. I eventually moved out, and I am excited for their wedding soon."

To be continued...
