Each weekday, EW will post the answers from a different player.
Brooke Struck’sSurvivorgame ended far too soon.
Getting booted fourth in the game had to be a bummer for Brooke.

On the bright side, at least she did not get eaten by a crocodile!
As Brooke reveals in her Quarantine Questionnaire, that threat was all too real.
But no need toas Probst would say"Dig Deep!"
to uncover an enlightening and entertaining Quarantine Questionnaire.

A few months later, I moved to the Sacramento area and got married.
After that, life moved pretty fast!
or family law, yet that’s where I ended up.
and see them through it to a new start in life.
Plus, it’s never boring!
The stuff I hear daily makesJerry Springerepisodes seem mundane.
On that day, the U.S. Supreme Court was hearing the controversial Title VII cases.
What is your proudest moment ever from playingSurvivor?
I don’t know if there has ever been a harderSurvivorchallenge than our 24-hour, 11-mile jungle hike.
That hike took a serious toll on the majority of the men on our team.
You saw them with heat exhaustion, vomiting, getting injured.
Watching it summarized on a television episode for approximately 20 minutes did not do it justice.
At one point, we were actually on rafts, with poles, trying to navigate a small river.
No fire, no shelter, nothing.
What is your biggest regret from yourSurvivorexperience?
Game wise, my biggest regret is being too naive after the tribe swap.
I should have never believed that everyone was voting Lydia out for being the weakest at challenges!
But when you’re exhausted, starved, and sleep deprived, you aren’t thinking clearly.
The thing that I hated about my season is that we could not get in the water.
Did that stop some of my tribemates when it got hot?
I remember sitting on our dock with Cindy watching people canoe out and jump into the lake.
She said how foolish that was because crocodiles just wait under the surface when it’s hot.
I was like, “I’m listening to the zookeeper on this one!”
Thankfully, I never had to test out that advice!
How do you feel about the edit you got on the show?
Once the show airs, you realize how much of that is omitted.
Seeing as I was the fourth person voted out, my edit was fair.
What was it like coming back to regular society after being out there?
Was there culture shock or an adjustment coming back?
Once you’re out of the game, you appreciate every detail of modern life so much more!
Food, bed, toilet, toothbrush, soap, etc.
Stuff that you took for granted in your daily routine is, somehow now, so fabulous.
The hardest part of coming back is that no one can understand what you went through, except otherSurvivorcontestants.
It’s a unique bond.
Never ever.Survivorgave me a once-in-a-lifetime adventure that profoundly changed me.
It also gave me my “SurvivorFamily.”
I’ve also met so many amazing fans of the show!
They’ve been very gracious and kind, and I enjoy sharing stories and answering theirSurvivorquestions.
Whom do you still talk, text, or email with the most from your season?
Jaime definitely made us laugh more than ever out in the woods of Maine!
I don’t miss an episode ofSurvivor!Season 40 is my favorite.
Getting to see how new and exciting it was to them was just as great!
Who’s one player from anotherSurvivorseason you wish you could have played with or against and why?
I’m breaking the rules and listing two playersSandra and Tony.
If I’m going to play again, I want it to be against the best of the best.
Beating them would give you ultimateSurvivorbragging rights.
We share the same birthday (as does Troyzan), and I admire her unapologetic self-confidence.
If you could make one change to any aspect ofSurvivor,what would it be and why?
I’m an old schoolSurvivorpurist.
Take away all the new types of immunity idols and advantages of recent years and get back to basics!
I believe winning should be based on outwitting, outplaying, outlasting.
Finally, would you play again if asked?
But that’s how it goes sometimes.
A girl can dream though, can’t she?
