Oscar "Ozzy" Lusth. He's one of the top reality TV hunks of all time. The handsome waiter, who made hearts flutter and scared his competitors on Survivor: Cook Islands, may not have won the million dollars on the finale, but...he's doing just fine.
Ozzy, in this interview with Stacy Krause at IGN TV, talks about how Survivor just sort of 'fell into his lap.' He also mentions that he didn't watch the show when it first came out. "At that stage in my life I kind of shied away from television. I didn't watch much TV at all. Just go surfing and skateboarding and hang out in nature with my dog and read and go to school and stuff."
When asked about the racial divide, Ozzy says that he felt it would make things harder initially because people would expect his tribe to get along just "because we were all Latino." He also discusses how Billy was a "dangerous player". He had a lot of Survivor knowledge and "was playing both sides against each other."
Ozzy wishes the series would've shown him with more than one dimension. They neglected his social game. However, he admits that maybe "I just was spending too much time fishing and enough time politicking."
For those of you wondering, Ozzy does indeed have a girlfriend. He also wants to act and build skateparks in Mexico (according to Reality TV Magazine) to channel youngsters' energy in a positive direction. Awww!
No matter what the future holds for Ozzy, I'm sure we'll see more of him. If you wanna check him out on the web, visit his myspace page at:

FYI: The ugly, Freddy-Kruger-like sweater that Ozzy wore on the Reunion show was a 'last-minute' decision. He had another shirt on, but it had a logo and the producers wouldn't let him wear it.
