Each weekday, EW will post the answers from a different player.
Lex did, and Rob repaid the favor by voting him out at the very next Tribal Council.

Four Mariano kids later seems to prove Lex may indeed deserve that card.
In his Quarantine Questionnaire, Lex gets into all the details of how exactly the Amber non-vote went down.
You will certainly remember thisSurvivorQuarantine Questionnaire.
LEX VAN DEN BERGHE:Hi Dalton!
My boys are not really boys anymore, but grown men now, and make me proud every day.
I’m incredibly blessed…
I have a very good life.
What is your proudest moment ever from playingSurvivor?
Back then, being heavily tattooed carried a lot of negative social stigma.
He may have learned something new that day too.
What is your biggest regret from yourSurvivorexperiences?
“NO RAGRETS.”
I don’t believe in them.
But would I do anything differently if I could go back?
I’m still waiting for that thank you card from the Marianos!
I also don’t think people fully comprehend how brutally difficult and taxingSurvivor: Africareally was.
Three days later, I finally peed clear.
We had a nice “sit-down” meal and shared family stories of Thanksgivings past.
It was a lovely experience.
How do you feel about the edit you got on the show?
I’m fine with it.
I also provided producers with plenty of material to make that job easier for them.
But I would much rather be remembered as a villain than disappear into obscurity as a hero.
What was it like coming back to regular society after being out there?
Was there culture shock or an adjustment coming back?
I just wanted to be outside.
The other shock that I was never prepared for was the instant fame we all came home to.
I was kind of mortified and went to every end-cap and turned the magazines around front-to-back.
It was also strange to be recognized everywhere I went, no matter how far away from home.
It was especially difficult for my older son Corbin, who is autistic.
Whom do you still talk, text, or email with the most from your seasons?
I’m still close to most everyone else as well, and keep in touch through social media.
It was brand new, uncharted territory and would forever change the entertainment world.
I would’ve loved to have played with absolutely zero context or precedent.
Who’s one player from anotherSurvivorseason you wish you could have played with or against and why?
I’m gonna break the rules and pick two.
I’d love to play with Shane Powers.
I think he’s one of the most extraordinarily interesting and entertaining players not to be invited back.
His passion, heart, and intensity are unmatched, and he’s whip-smart.
I relate to his candor, respect his fearlessness, and admire his integrity.
He’s also a good friend and I know we’d have a lot of laughs out there.
I’d also love to play with Courtney Yates… she’s a friend and I just adore her.
I think we’d look fetching as giant statues.
If you could make one change to any aspect of Survivor, what would it be and why?
Focus on the people and their story… stick to the bizarre social experiment combined with Battle Royale.
I’d also love to seeSurvivorpull up stakes and leave Fiji.
I’m bored with the single location and I missSurvivorseasons that were themed by location rather than gimmick.
The recipe was perfect.
Finally, would you play again if asked?
I guess that would all depend on when I get that call.
