Each weekday, EW will post the answers from a different player.
I wasnt booted for my challenge performance, nor my sexuality, he reveals.
He filled out aSurvivorQuarantine Questionnaire to answer all that and more.

ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY:First off, give the update as to what youve been up to since appearing onSurvivor.
SPENCER DUHM:Besides social distancing, washing my hands, voting, and wearing a mask?
Thats coming up on 12 years, so Ill give you the synopsis!
Is 30-and-Thriving the cool-kid phrase?
I dont know Im old and happy though!
What is your proudest moment ever from playingSurvivor?
In the early few days at Jalapao, a few of us went scavenging for protein.
Tocantins had these huge termite mounds that we were advised to knock over in search of grub worms.
Of all the mounds we tore down that morning, our bounty was a single, two-inch worm.
At camp, only Fishbach, Joe and I were game to try it not even J.T.
I took the head, Joe next, and Fishbach the rest.
What is your biggest regret from yourSurvivorexperience?
Taking the experience too seriously.
I put a lot of undue pressure on myself.
I was the alternate.
I was told I made the cast 24-hours before filming started.
I was 19, the first teenager at the time.
I was a superfan and this was my dream.
I thought every move, conversation, and confessional had to be perfect.
TL:DR be like Tyson!
Do you mean my alliance?
I approached Joe and Sydney Wheeler on Day 2.
If were getting picked off our own tribe, theyll go after Sydney first.
Either way, worst case scenario Ill get 3 more days to maneuver.
It was my own parachute, or so I thought.
(And the F4 PAO!)
How do you feel about the edit you got on the show?
Totally fair, I was boring.
I was extremely self-aware and concerned about things like, What will grandma think when she watches!?
You must ignore the cameras, be yourself, and not give a f—.
I wasnt booted for my challenge performance, nor my sexuality.
I told him I would have voted for him if Id been on the jury!
What was it like coming back to regular society after being out there?
Was there culture shock or an adjustment coming back?
Plus, we readjust nicely on our pre-jury trip!
A college friend of mine called full B.S.
Oddly enough, my closest friends didnt believe her until the cast was announced.
Too bad I wasnt that good at lying on the actual show!
Ill forever be grateful.
Whom do you still talk, text, or email with the most from your season?
The only people I currently keep in touch with from reality TV on a somewhat consistent personal (e.g.
phone) level are Courtney Yates and Evel Dick.
Both are incredible people and Im lucky to call them friends.
Do you still watchSurvivor, and if so, whats your favorite season you were not on and why?
Ill give you a short list of favorites.
Whos one player from anotherSurvivorseason you wish you could have played with or against and why?
Lets say Brian Corridan.
If you could make one change to any aspect ofSurvivor, what would it be and why?
Its not as if theMarquesascast has been forgotten…
Finally, would you play again if asked?
The Second Chance, Pre-Jury Edition would be LIT you know it, Dalton.
You wouldnt even need twists.
