Each weekday, EW will post the answers from a different player.

ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY: First off, give the update as to what youve been up to since appearing onSurvivor.
We are about to begin a very unusual school year with COVID, so well see how that goes.
What is your proudest moment ever from playingSurvivor?
Robert Voets/CBS
Definitely the 4-3-1 split vote at the third Tribal Council.
Im proud of my group for pulling this off together, since no split vote can be executed alone.
What is your biggest regret from yourSurvivorexperience?
Then I would say, I couldve played this after the votes.
But Im playing it now to be transparent with you all I dont want to blindside anyone tonight.
Im now safe, and you know how Im voting tonight.
Looking back, this is still the single biggest what if I have from my time out there.
What I will reiterate, however, is how much of a blast our pre-merge trip to Australia was.
We still joke about playing that trip back one day.
How do you feel about the edit you got on the show?
This is a question that I still get often.
Of course, no edit is perfect.
Without any challenges that involved running, that didnt happen.
Lets just say that being called a machine by Jeff on national television was an interesting experience.
My friends loved that line.
And it doesnt hurt to hold aSurvivorrecord now, despite being voted off pre-merge.
What was it like coming back to regular society after being out there?
Was there culture shock or an adjustment coming back?
I played hard and I played to win.
I drew some clear lines for myself going into the game, and I stayed well clear of them.
Whom do you still talk, text, or email with the most from your season?
Do you still watchSurvivor, and if so, whats your favorite season you were not on and why?
In terms of my favorite season, its a close call betweenMicronesia: Fans vs. FavoritesandCagayan.
Great, fun characters and the kind of strategy that kept you guessing every week until the very end.
Whos one player from anotherSurvivorseason you wish you could have played with or against and why?
That being said, my answer would be my man Jeremy Collins.
Another intuitive answer would be Yul, of course.
I hope to meet him in person one day.
If you could make one change to any aspect ofSurvivor,what would it be and why?
More airtime devoted to survival, humor, conflict, and character development.
That would be my production recipe.
Finally, would you play again if asked?
Of course, I am also self-aware that my objective odds of returning are quite low.
Lets call itSurvivor: Unfinished Business.
