Each weekday, EW will post the answers from a different player.
And when Gabriel didn’t get a call back, he applied again.

Where does this answer even begin?
What is your proudest moment ever from playingSurvivor?

We all left for the island just a month or so after the Twin Towers were hit and destroyed.
What is your biggest regret from yourSurvivorexperience?
I was crushing it out there.
Once Hunter was gone from the other tribe, I felt unstoppable.
The challenges were easy for me.
I was having a blast, a truly unmatchable adventure, and I hated to give it up.
If something terrible happened, they’d step in.
After we won a snorkel mask, I started swimming further and further out of camp’s bay.
I remember swimming out one day with a camera guy following me.
No life vest, no radio, no one even knew where we had gone.
How do you feel about the edit you got on the show?
I think I feel pretty good about the edit.
It’s still so funny to think about the story they tell.
It makes you realize they can tell any story they want.
Anyone can be the good guy, or the bad guy.
What was it like coming back to regular society after being out there?
Was there culture shock or an adjustment coming back?
This is a really interesting question.
It was really hard, and certainly harder than I expected.
The isolation on the island was significant, but so was the isolation when you come back.
I’m so grateful toMark Burnettand CBS andJeff Probstfor creating this amazing experience.
Whom do you still talk, text, or email with the most from your season?
I’ll check it out every other year or so.
Who’s one player from anotherSurvivorseason you wish you could have played with or against and why?
I’m lucky I got to be out there with Rob Mariano at the beginning of his legendarySurvivorcareer.
I would love to go through this experience with him again, maybe more than anyone else.
His street smarts, actual smarts, physical prowess make him an ideal foil.
If you could make one change to any aspect ofSurvivor, what would it be and why?
There’s waaaaaay too many immunity trinkets.
Finally, would you play again if asked?
I had the humbling experience of continuing to apply toSurvivoreven years after my own participation.
I was 21 years old when I went toMarquesas, a lifetime ago.
