Each weekday, EW will post the answers from a different player.
But that was not the most painful part of Alan’sSurvivorexperience.
No, that would be the extreme chafing brought on by a poor choice in game clothing.

I was able to get involved in real estate when I was done playing football.
I got the company started just before the show, and now I’ve seen tremendous growth.
Hopefully soon I’ll be speaking at a university near you!
What is your proudest moment ever from playingSurvivor?
I think just doing it.
At the time it seemed like it was so out of my comfort zone.
Some of the people, the conversations it’s real.
It was a dope experience.
What is your biggest regret from yourSurvivorexperience?
Getting voted off so soon.
At the time, I was pissed, but it really hit me when I watched the show air.
I feel like I let a lot of Alan BallSurvivorfans down.
These would be dope on TV."
They looked really fly, though.
Fast-forward about week, these denim joggers can literally stand up on their own.
I was wearing them in the day through sweat, saltwater, dirt, and sand.
At night I was hang-drying them to let them dry or air out.
Well, not when they’re denim!
So I did what any decent human being would do to remedy the situation.
The whole Heroes squad thought it was hilarious, I thought it was soothing.
I called them thigh-sleeves, I meant to patent them, but it got away from me.
And it wasn’t because I was hot.
How do you feel about the edit you got on the show?
I didn’t mind it at all.
I am who I am and they got that!
I think they did a good job of capturing what they needed to make the show what it is.
What was it like coming back to regular society after being out there?
Was there culture shock or an adjustment coming back?
I didn’t have any culture shock.
I mean, I missed my bed, my wife, the fam.
One thing I did take notice of when I got back was how life is so busy sometimes.
Being out there was a reminder that it doesn’t really have to be that way.
Life goes on whether your phone is in your pocket or not.
That was real pain.
At that point, I regretted going on the show in those denim joggers.
Whom do you still talk, text, or email with the most from your season?
I’d probably say Patrick and Ben those are the two that I’m in the most contact with.
It’s pretty random, though.
The story of my relationship with Pat is pretty random in itself.
Initially we figured out we couldn’t be more different in a lot of ways.
We got some time around each other and found out we have more in common than we initially thought.
I haven’t watched muchSurvivorsince I was on.
I’ve tried, but I haven’t been able to tune in like I’d like.
If you could make one change to any aspect ofSurvivor, what would it be and why?
I don’t think I would make any changes.
So I wouldn’t make any changes other than have a Neosporin kit as a reward.
Finally, would you play again if asked?
I think the first year off the show, I probably would have.
Now, not so much.
I just don’t think I’d want to be gone for that long again.
