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

Hell, she didnt even make the merge.
But for Ashley Trainer, her experience onSurvivor: Samoasometimes feels like a dream.
I still cant believe that I was onSurvivor, says Ashley.
Every time I watch it, I am shocked I was on it.
I am so proud that when I was out there, I actually played the game.
Play the game she did.
So sit back, relax, and soak up the ray of sunshine that is an Ashley TrainerSurvivorQuarantine Questionnaire.
ENTERTAINMENT WEKELY: First off, give the update as to what youve been up to since appearing onSurvivor.
We moved out to the burbs and started a family.
I have a beautiful little boy who is 5, and a girl who is 2.
I am currently working as a recruiter for a very large company here in Minneapolis!
What is your proudest moment ever from playing Survivor?
I still cant believe that I was onSurvivor.
Every time I watch it, I am shocked I was on it.
I am so proud that when I was out there, I actually played the game.
I am not an outdoorsy person at all, so its still surprising that I even did the show!
What is your biggest regret from yourSurvivorexperience?
My biggest regret was voting Marisa out first.
I think this made our tribe weaker and ended up causing us to continue to lose challenges.
We did this by pulling in Mike to vote her out.
This caused a downfall for our tribe to be weaker from the start.
During the eating challenge, Natalie went after me and didnt drink her smoothie.
They didnt show her participating in the challenge.
Not really mind blowing, but something that happened that wasnt shown.
How do you feel about the edit you got on the show?
Overall, I liked my edit, minus the episode that I got voted out.
Before our eating challenge, Liz was talking about how worried she was that she wouldnt eat coconut.
They then showed me.
However, I ate coconut and didnt have a problem with that.
This made me seem weaker than I actually was out there.
What was it like coming back to regular society after being out there?
Was there culture shock or an adjustment coming back?
It was so surreal.
It was hard, especially when it didnt stop raining for five days.
We were all starving and so cold, but I never regretted it.
Whom do you still talk, text, or email with the most from your season?
When I got home, I talked to Natalie and Betsy almost every day.
However, as time has passed, sadly, its stopped.
I do however still talk to Shambo.
We keep in touch often.
We bonded so well out there when she came over and visited our tribe.
Do you still watchSurvivor,and if so, whats your favorite season you were not on and why?
I still havent missed an episode.
Whos one player from anotherSurvivorseason you wish you could have played with or against and why?
I would have loved to have played with Parvati.
I watched her before I played and after, and she is such an awesome player of the game.
I would have loved to have aligned with her and learned from her.
If you could make one change to any aspect ofSurvivor, what would it be and why?
Finally, would you play again if asked?
I would be so excited to be able to play again and have redemption.
I feel like if I had another chance, I could make it far.
I am much stronger and wiser than I was when I played 11 years ago.
Being 22 and playing for the first time, I look back and am so young.
Unfortunately, I dont think I will be asked again though since I was pre-jury.
