TME: You're now the second member of the jury. Are you proud of that? That's something of a feather in your cap to make it that far.

Jefferson: That was the minimal goal of mine. That's “Survivor” right there. I have no regrets.

TME: As a member of the jury, how do you choose who to vote for?

Jefferson: I think a good “Survivor” winner has to have a good mix, not cause drama but be subtle, doing stuff along the way just to get to the next step.

TME: Who did you enjoy playing with?

Jefferson: I enjoyed playing with Kat, Sabrina, Jay and Matt.

TME: What was your most memorable experience being on “Survivor?”

Jefferson: The constant injuries, living in the wilderness and how beat up you can actually get. I don't get injuries at home. Nothing would heal with the lack of food and water out there.

TME: What's been the reaction of your friends and family to seeing you on the show?

Jefferson: They like it. They like what they see and like seeing me do well in the challenges. They also like seeing my beard grow.

TME: Are you looking forward to the reunion?

Jefferson: I'm ecstatic about it. I had a great relationship with everyone out there.
