All that attention also meant the regular Joes and Janes in the cast were all of sudden full-blown celebrities.
It was an adjustment that took Keith Famie a little getting used to.

KEITH FAMIE:My time ofSurvivor: The Australian Outbackwas over 20 years ago now.
For several years afterSurvivor, I had my own series on the Food internet.
Now, for the last 15 years I have been producing human interest documentaries for PBS.
What is your proudest moment ever from playingSurvivor?
I feel I walked out of the outback with a new life focus.
What is your biggest regret from yourSurvivorexperience?
Well, I guess that I didn’t play the game harder towards the end.
I really kind of checked out and went into this spiritual realm.
Lack of food and sleep can do funny things to a guy.
But no regret it is what it is.
Myself and Tina dragging a 10-foot python out of our camp and throwing it across the river.
How do you feel about the edit you got on the show?
I always tell people, you go ontoSurvivoras a person, you come out as a cast.
So to answer the question, the editing was part of the story they needed to tell.
Did I agree with it all the time?
Nope, but that is what I signed up for.
What was it like coming back to regular society after being out there?
Was there culture shock or an adjustment coming back?
So we all have positive and negative stories of those unusual times.
I did almost lose my mind around food, just had the hardest time to putting the fork down.
No, you learn to take it all in stride.
At the end of the day, it was a nice exciting chapter in my own book of life.
Whom do you still talk, text, or email with the most from your season?
On occasion, Mitchell.
Roger and I saw each other a few years back, Tina on occasion.
That’s about it.
I have become very close friends with the lead producer from our series, John Feist.
We talk and get together often.
Who’s one player from anotherSurvivorseason you wish you could have played with or against and why?
Well, how about Boston Rob, or Lex?
He and I have become good friends.
If you could make one change to any aspect ofSurvivor,what would it be and why?
I think the success of the earlySurvivorwas the rawness and unpredictability of the story.
I think they added too many angles over the years.
Finally, would you play again if asked?
Are you kidding…NO way!
I danced with theSurvivorWitch once, and once was enough.
