Each weekday, EW will post the answers from a different player.
You wouldnt know it from watchingSurvivor: One World,but Christina Cha is no wallflower.

Because I am normally very outspoken and have more of an alpha personality.
I realized when the moment I was myself, it put a target on my back.
So who is therealChristina?
Well, watch every move and listen to every word she makes in herSurvivorQuarantine Questionnaire to find out!
ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY: First off, give the update as to what youve been up to since appearing onSurvivor.
That put our film [up] for consideration for the Oscars in 2020.
Its been a fun, interesting ride to see where all of this hard work will go.
What is your proudest moment ever from playingSurvivor?
There were a few.
I think the most important part was not to let my ego take over the game.
That normally leads people to jump into the conclusion without rationalizing thoroughly through communication.
I felt I had handled that situation the best I could at that moment.
My other proudest moment was seeing my father in person on the island for the Loved Ones episode.
And achieving the final top 4th contestant was just amazing to experience.
All I can say is, I am forever grateful.
What is your biggest regret from yourSurvivorexperience?
I was beyond nervous when I was playing this game.
My vulnerability level was at an all-time high!
So many situations made me second guess myself, when I should have just trusted my gut instinct.
I knew from the beginning Kim Spradlin was the main threat to this game.
And those conversations were with Monica, Jonas, Alicia, Troyzan," and Tarzan Dr. Greg Smith.
I was very careful who I spoke to without blowing my cover.
I wanted to make it to the end by flying under the radar.
That was very difficult for me because I am very open and outspoken.
Who I was on the first episode was my true self playing the game.
I definitely will not let that opportunity pass me up again.
Well, there were two big ones that never got aired.
The first one was during the big second merge.
But it didnt work because Kim figured out a way to get rid of Jonas.
The second was theSurvivorauction episode where everyone was upset at me for letting Troy take the next challenge advantage.
That is why I could not outbid Troyzan.
How do you feel about the edit you got on the show?
I have mixed feelings about the edit I received.
I realized when the moment I was myself, it put a target on my back.
What was it like coming back to regular society after being out there?
Was there culture shock or an adjustment coming back?
All I could think about was sleep.
I couldnt sleep out in the wild because we had bamboo branches as our bed.
The moment my body hit the bed, I passed out for 14 hours straight.
The moment I saw myself on episode 1, where I lost my temper at Tribal Council.
Yeah, that was embarrassing.
I was so nervous how my edit would turn out for the rest of the show.
I normally dont ever lose my cool like that unless I am pushed beyond my comfort zone.
I had no proper sleep, food, and shower.
I was definitely cranky.
Whom do you still talk, text, or email with the most from your season?
Season 24 was and still is a very loving group of great people.
Unfortunately, Jeff Probst couldnt make it and join us.
But maybe he will on the next one?
Do you still watchSurvivorand, if so, whats your favorite season you were not on and why?
I do off and on depending on how busy my schedule gets.
Because I played and met these great people, I enjoyed watching the 40th season,Winners at War.
Whos one player from anotherSurvivorseason you wish you could have played with or against and why?
I also likeSandra Diaz-Twinebecause she just cracks me up with her sly, low-key wit personality.
I know on a personal level, I always enjoyed her presence.
But I can totally see her backstab and even blindside me in the game.
If you could make one change to any aspect ofSurvivor,what would it be and why?
I think the game in general has done a good job in evolving and adapting to new concepts.
I would say continue to make surprises for the contestants, allowing more twist the game rules.
The advantages for the two new players are being well fed, [having] sleep, and showers.
The disadvantage for coming in later is not making the key alliances in advance.
But maybe they can have the ability to rock the boat and change that.
You could call itSurvivor: Unfair Advantage.
Finally, would you play again if asked?
After all of the experience I learned, I definitely will be playing differently.
