Each weekday, EW will post the answers from a different player.
“I regret not hiding the infection that was by my knee,” says Neal.
“I should have just worn my long ice cream pants and trudged on.

I really didn’t feel that there was a need to evacuate me.”
Of course, that’s not nearly as eye-popping as Neal’s otherSurvivorsuggestion.
NEAL GOTTLIEB: My life has changed quite a bit sinceSurvivor, especially over the last year.
As of April, I am no longer the ice cream man.
My dog has certainly enjoyed the change.
What is your proudest moment ever from playingSurvivor?
It was me and Debbie on one puzzle and Peter and Anna on the other.
After the challenge, Jeff asked me how I completed the puzzle so quickly.
He didn’t like that answer and immediately sent the tribes back to camp without asking any other questions.
That challenge loss ended up sending Anna home.
What is your biggest regret from yourSurvivorexperience?
I regret not hiding the infection that was by my knee.
I should have just worn my long ice cream pants and trudged on.
I really didn’t feel that there was a need to evacuate me.
It rained enough to fill our pots with fresh water, so maybe three inches.
The Brains spent most of the night huddled under our half-built shelter trying to keep our teeth from chattering.
The movement was from the nonstop, entirely unpleasant unrelenting rain.
How do you feel about the edit you got on the show?
But it was far from the worst of the season.
What was it like coming back to regular society after being out there?
Was there culture shock or an adjustment coming back?
But I really don’t like being hungry anymore and have since had breakfast just about every day.
It took a good long time to get past that.
Whom do you still talk, text, or email with the most from your season?
I’m probably in touch with Aubry the most.
She’s a good one.
I do, though I might have missed a season.
And that’s just Randy.
They just don’t make them like him or Corinne anymore.
And thank God for that.
Who’s 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?
I would not let Jeff influence medical evacuations.
And I would allow cannibalism after the merge.
Finally, would you play again if asked?
Anybody who tells you that they wouldn’t play again is a liar.
