Each weekday, EW will post the answers from a different player.
Read on for all the intel.
CHRISTINE SHIELDS:AfterSurvivor,I went back home and immediately got back into the swing of things.

I went to all of my favorite restaurants and ate like Augustus Gloop!
The weight that I had so happily lost on the island was found very quickly.
We’ve only got a few left to go.
I am still teaching and still loving it.
My students tell me I’m funny and make them laugh.
I, sometimes, think they are laughing AT me rather than with me.
What is your proudest moment ever from playingSurvivor?
I was proud when I made fire for my tribe using Albert’s glasses.
We didn’t have flint as of yet, but we persevered.
Of course, I had to act like Tom Hanks' character onCast Awayand yell “FIRE!
I MADE FIRE!”
What is your biggest regret from yourSurvivorexperience?
Let me count the mistakes!
I don’t regret mocking Benjamin (doing theKarate Kidcrane pose, soCobra Kaicurrent).
That was totally funny!
I don’t regret saying that Ozzy and Benjamin were temporary.
(And, as in my real life, I paid the price for it.)
I don’t regret calling Benjamin out on his bulls—.
(Actually, no one HAD to.
The ones who kept their mouths shut WAY outlasted me.)
I DO regret not taking each and every player seriously.
I should have respected each tribemate as a worthy opponent.
I think that was my downfall.
If I get another chance to play, it won’t happen again.
My story did make it to TV, but didn’t happen the way the show portrayed it.
It’s kind of a funny story….
I get to the duel early to find Jeff Probst there.
I was given some time to practice for the tabletop shuffleboard duel.
Jeff comes over and remarks on how my fingernails are filthy.
We all had a laugh and moved on with the duel against Elyse.
(I won.)
I flipped off Jeff Probst!
How do you feel about the edit you got on the show?
I think my edit was definitely on the toughbiatchside, but I’m okay with that.
What was it like coming back to regular society after being out there?
Was there culture shock or an adjustment coming back?
Entering back into society was not a problem for me.
I think spending so much time on Redemption Island helped a lot.
I didn’t have all those paranoia punch in issues that others have.
I think my family had it worse.
I wouldn’t stop talking!
There were some sucky points throughout the game, but I never regretted it for one second.
He felt like a homecoming king.
THAT made up for any and all sucky parts!
Whom do you still talk, text, or email with the most from your season?
I still talk fairly regularly with Mark Caruso and Stacey Powell.
Mark doesn’t live far from me, so we have seen each other periodically.
Stacey is still, and will forever be, my sister.
She still calls me “Sissy.”
My family and I went to visit her some time ago in Dallas.
We had a great time.
I often (nope, I’m lying), sometimes, rarely go to the Survivor get-togethers.
My family and I still watchSurvivorreligiously every Wednesday night.
I really don’t have a favorite season.
They are all fun in their own way.
It’s not the seasons that are my faves, but the individual players.
Who’s one player from anotherSurvivorseason you wish you could have played with or against and why?
I admired Tony’s game, but I think he’d drive me crazy!
If you could make one change to any aspect ofSurvivor,what would it be and why?
Four and five times is a bit excessive in my humble opinion.
Finally, would you play again if asked?
S—, YEAH!
