Each weekday, EW will post the answers from a different player.
There is nothing aSurvivorplayer fears more than getting voted out first.
So imagine having to endure that indignity not once…but TWICE!

Just fine, it turns out, thank you.
In fact, what may have crushed a more fragile victim only served to make Francesca even stronger.
She explains in her Quarantine Questionnaire.
ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY: First off, give the update as to what youve been up to since appearing onSurvivor.
Now I teach people how to fall in love without settling and to engineer lives they love.
I have a podcast calledDear Frannyand a membership community called The True Love Society.
I moved to L.A. where I live with my boyfriend and our dog, Toast.
What is your proudest moment ever from playingSurvivor?
But also I really did take down Matt Bischoff in our first challenge inCaramoan!
Someone shared that clip on Twitter recently and I hadnt seen it before.
What is your biggest regret from yourSurvivorexperiences?
BeforeSurvivor,I was very stagnant in a lot of ways.
And I think I needed something so drastically bad to happen to shake things up.
Being first out is THE worst thing in terms of the game.
and medical was likeSorry!
I gave him my scarf to help shield him from the sun.
Big mistake on my part.
How do you feel about the edit you got on the show?
People probably wont believe this, but I didnt watch myself on the show.
I was so close to victory!
But it seems like I got a good edit, based on what others tell me!
Maybe it was too kind?
What was it like coming back to regular society after being out there?
Was there culture shock or an adjustment coming back?
It was definitely weird to be back online, on social media, and just having freedom of movement.
But I wasnt in the game long enough to forget what life was like!
I tried to pretend it never happened.
I didnt talk about it.
So it took a little while to stop caring.
AfterRedemption Island, I definitely felt like it was a big waste of time.
I was especially kicking myself because I didnt aim to be onSurvivorand I initially didnt want to do it.
I wanted to be onThe Amazing Race.That was my jam!
Whom do you still talk, text, or email with the most from your seasons?
Another huge reason I could never regretSurvivorat this point is my amazing friends.
Im closest to Eliza Orlins, Corinne Kaplan, and Matt Elrod.
Eliza is just an incredible person (and every like support hercampaign for Manhattan District attorney!)
and weve traveled the world together.
and weve continued to cultivate that connection through the years.
So theyre the ones Ive spent the most time with and talk to the most.
Im also friends with Max Dawson, Andrea Boehlke, Sabrina Thompson… Ive got a solidSurvivorcommunity.
Do you still watchSurvivor,and if so, whats your favorite season you were not on and why?
The exception isWinners at War, which I had to watch to root for Sophie!
Of the seasons I have watched,Heroes vs. Villainswas just the best.
Everyone really brought it that season!
Whos one player from anotherSurvivorseason you wish you could have played with or against and why?
In the universe where I would wish anything different, Id choose Eliza.
Because shes smart and hardworking and loyal and not a follower!
I had tribes of followers in my seasons.
But if its based on current relationships, Id choose Eliza, Matt, or Corinne.
Because I would actually trust them with my life.
If you could make one change to any aspect ofSurvivor,what would it be and why?
Obviously, the lack of diversity is problematic.
I truly believe that.
And in general, its time to retire some of these returning players.
Otherwise, I dont think I have an educated enough opinion about this question!
Whatever Dalton and Stephen say.
Finally, would you play again if asked?
To my great shock and honor, I have been asked to play again.
It was an easy no.
It becomes an easier no with each passing day!
Even if I wanted to play again, I promise you Id go home first again.
I really dont have the personality for the game.
I just cant pretend to like people I dont like, not even for a million dollars.
I have no talent for lying or intentional manipulation.
Not saying Im some saint, but those arent in my skill set.
And I really love my creature comforts.
Thats how much of a princess Ive become.
That I have the ability to winSurvivor?I already know that I do.
Under the right set of circumstances most players do!
In conclusion, I would not play again.
MySurvivordays are definitely behind me.
