Survivor is an intense and thrilling competition show that never fails to deliver an edge-of-the-seat entertainment experience every season. The show stands as one of the longest-running reality competition shows in history, currently at Season 44, and has earned some contestants celebrity status.

Survivor players spend weeks isolated from the real world and have to rely on basic skills for survival. Given this disconnect, it’s no surprise that the game is a life-changing experience, and players often have a different outlook on “normal life” post-production. And for player Matt Bischoff, one of the experiences that changed for him was sex, saying it was unbelievable after the show.

Stephen Fishbach was the runner-up on Survivor: Tocantins and has been blogging about Survivor strategy for People.com since 2009. Follow him on Twitter @stephenfishbach. "It's usually not the strongest person that wins. The more pathetic you look and act usually seems to get you pretty far in the game." - Tyson Apostol, Survivor: TocantinsWednesday night on Survivor, we finally saw the Cochran we'd been waiting for. When Cochran was cast in South Pacific, he seemed like a hilarious super-fan who would be great at strategy and funny in confessionals. Then he fell on his face. Almost literally. Cochran...

Matt Bischoff started out last week's Survivor: Caramoan in a good place.
He was in the majority alliance of his tribe, and no one had even thought about voting him off. But a tribal swap changed all that.
Although the switch was random, the other tribe got the buff, athletic contestants, while Bischoff ended up on a significantly weaker tribe.
Even worse, he was outnumbered – their tribe had only three Fans and four Favorites.
A diehard fan of the show, Bischoff, a 38-year-old BMX Salesman from Cincinnati, talks about his time on the game – as well as his amazing beard.

As Wednesday (March 20) night's "Survivor: Caramoan" episode began, Matt Bischoff may not have been in a position of power, but he was in a position of relative comfort. Part of the numbers majority on the Fans tribe, but also accepted by Pretty Kids Reynold and Eddie, the Cincinnati-based bearded BMX fan looked ready to weather any voting storm. Then a tribal shuffle left Matt and his alliance-mate Michael on an absurdly weak new tribe composed of oddballs and misfits, forced to wage war against an apparently random assemblage of every challenge powerhouse in the game this season. ...

The fans just can't catch a break. Even after a tribe shake-up on Wednesday night's Survivor: Caramoan -- Fans vs. Favorites, another fan was voted out at tribal council. Longtime viewer Matt Bischoff -- a 38-year-old from Cincinnati who works in BMX bike sales -- got voted out by the favorites alliance after he was deemed too big a threat because of his close alliance with Michael Snow. Photos: Jeff Probst's 'Survivor' Picture Diary On Thursday, he talked to The Hollywood Reporter about what he wishes he'd done differently and what he really thinks about Brandon Hantz's meltdown and Phillip

Fear the beard! Or don’t.
Matt Bischoff of Survivor: Caramoan — Fans vs. Favorites thought he was sitting in a pretty sweet spot on his Fans tribe at Gota. But think again! Because after Jeff Probst reshuffled the tribes, he found himself down in numbers on a clearly weaker Bikal. That’s a bad combination and it meant bad news for Matt, who was voted out by the Favorites alliance. So what does he do now? He calls in to the InsideTV Podcast of course! Matt plays a nifty game of “What If?” and tells us his strategic plan...

Jeff Probst has defended the Favorites coming back to play Survivor: Caramoan — Fans vs. Favorites (premiering Feb. 13 on CBS) as good players. He has explained when they first decided to bring Malcolm back, and opined that Brandon Hantz was indeed psychologically stable enough to return. He even told us which returning players would not come back to play again for this season. But we have not heard his take on some of the newbies who will be making up the tribe of Fans. Until now. I asked Probst to pick out some of the new faces we should be keeping an eye on,...
