And, apparently, he even raved to the cast themselves!
Thats one of the behind-the-scenes tidbitsTyler Fredricksonshares in hisSurvivorQuarantine Questionnaire.
But there is absolutely nothing boring about Tylers Quarantine Questionnaire.
Read on to get the update from a card-carrying member of the #Dirty30.
ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY: First off, give the update as to what youve been up to since appearing onSurvivor.
TYLER FREDRICKSON:Man, the more things change, the more they stay the same!
OnSurvivor, I had just finished working at a talent agency and was barely “white collar.”
Now I’m back in Hollywood, running [actress] Joey King’s production company.
If there’s one takeaway from playing this show, it’s that I found my tribe.
I feel I’m finally finding my footing again… and it feels really good.
What is your proudest moment ever from playingSurvivor?
The competitor in me wanted to beat them at everything, always, and make them drink it in.
So having the freedom to sit back while Jeff clasped that necklace was awesome.
After he did, I slapped the bill of his hat down in excitement.
Didn’t make the edit you don’t make Jeff look da fool but I was elated.
What is your biggest regret from yourSurvivorexperience?
Not making a move earlier.
Three fun, short stories.
We were one of the first seasons to have multiple, genuine, superfans on the show.
We also didn’t have a marooning.
Obviously, production *confiscated them when we arrived, but we didn’t know.
We were just playing the game like superfans!
He said the rules stated he couldn’t say… sneaky, sneaky.
There were no camera crews around, just a yawning producer.
But it had to be done.
I sat down next to the fire, my heart racing.
I looked over at Sierra and she was starting to wake up.
Who knew that waking up from a nap could be such a game-changing moment?
You’ll hear me say, “I raced off!”
but the edit shows I casually pick up a bag.
Sorry if these are too long.
But you’re in quarantine, c’mon.
We all felt good, not only for ourselves but for the fans.
He added that CBS would never go for it.
But if he could, we would!
We were stoked (and I like to think Jeff winked directly at me).
We’re not worthy!"
wave and bow to the jury and they couldn’t believe it.
I believed it, though those dimps were indented toward me the deepest.
How do you feel about the edit you got on the show?
You only get what you give, right?
You never want to give the enemy “locker room material.”
So I kept life tight-lipped and uninteresting.
Was it good TV?
Would I change it if I went back out?
Did it get me far in the game?
You betcha ass it did.
Was it a fair edit?
Then again, it didn’t matter I didn’t win anyway.
So, yeah, they got me right.
What was it like coming back to regular society after being out there?
Was there culture shock or an adjustment coming back?
The night I got home I fell into my wife’s arms at midnight and cried.
And it definitely shocked her.
The game is the most demanding thing I’ve ever done, and that includes the NFL.
I think it’s what led me to work for a homeless shelter for two years immediately after.
I knew first-hand what it was like to be disenfranchised and exposed.
Care for the poor.
She had an alert set on her phone for the Nicaraguan sunset and would know what I was seeing.
The mosquitos had just tag-teamed with the flies and the crabs were coming out.Survivorwas anti-Lego Movie everything was awful.
I never thought I would last another three weeks or that it would get easier.
It did, somehow.
Whom do you still talk, text, or email with the most from your season?
Say what you want about the #Dirty30, but my cast is family.
They know me and all my secrets weaknesses and strengths.
Do you still watchSurvivorand, if so, whats your favorite season you were not on and why?
Wednesday nights are sacred and all facets ofSurvivorare still incredibly important.
Does it seem a bit excessive and strange?
Trust me, at the time it was purposeful.
And it was the closest thing to playing the game I’ll probably ever get again.
If I were a producer and watched my season, I wouldn’t ask me back.
Whos one player from anotherSurvivorseason you wish you could have played with or against and why?
If you could make one change to any aspect ofSurvivor,what would it be and why?
New locations, less advantages, yadda yadda.
I still love the show, even when they get it wrong.
Honestly, I only want to see the best players play.
I don’t care if you look good in a swimsuit.
Sign me up forSurvivor: Smart vs. Social vs. Sneakyevery.
Get rid of the Goats.
Finally, would you play again if asked?
It doesn’t matter.
What matters is to vote on November 3.
That’s what matters.
