What is your biggest regret from yourSurvivorexperience?
We should have created an alliance with one of the woman, especially Stephanie.
She and I were the darkest, LOL (since it was a show partly based on race).
Making an alliance with her would have assured either me or Nate immunity from being voted off.
The women did a majority rule vote that we couldn’t contend with.
What happened was, I drew smoke from attempting to make us fire.
They filmed it but did not show it.
I was so exhausted from throwing up the day before from eating and the rough seas.
I was a bit weak, especially after Nate and I did most of the work building that hut.
It was like being watched by some aliens on a distant planet.
How do you feel about the edit you got on the show?
What many did not see was me nearly drawing fire and swimming in the ocean.
What was it like coming back to regular society after being out there?
Was there culture shock or an adjustment coming back?
“Oh my God!”
It was like being a famous actor on steroids.
People would recognize me in public supermarkets, and anywhere.
I was already popular publicly in my profession, but this was on a completely different level.
At no time did I regret being in the game or after I returned home.
I am use to fanfare, and was treated with the utmost of accommodations.
It was a paid vacation, actually.
I recommend anyone who got the chance to go and do it.
Whom do you still talk, text, or email with the most from your season?
I have been in touch with Billy.
He was the second one to return after being voted off.
Stephanie and I became good friends.
It was like adult camp.
Cecilia and I became close also.
I barely get to watch television these days.
I am so busy.
And yes, it was real.
No food, fire, soap, or shelter.
Who’s one player from anotherSurvivorseason you wish you could have played with or against and why?
Bobby Mason fromSurvivor: Panama.He’s a smart guy and would have been fun to strategize with.
We are Facebook friends.
If you could make one change to any aspect ofSurvivor,what would it be and why?
Finally, would you play again if asked?
If asked to play again?
Sure, I would.
