Each weekday, EW will post the answers from a different player.
Soon enough, his game came crashing down as well.
In other words, a shoo-in for a return appearance.

ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY: First off, give the update as to what youve been up to since appearing onSurvivor.
JOHN CARROLL:Hi, Dalton!
Thanks for catching up with me.
Well, since I played during the Pliocene Epoch ofSurvivor, I have been up to A LOT.
Some people may remember I was a registered nurse when I played.
What they may not know is that I was in law school back in 2001 when casting came calling.
What is your proudest moment ever from playingSurvivor?
Besides being Boston Robs asterisk?
Gosh, that is tough one.
I think I was ahead of my time.
I am a new school player in an old school body.
I brought a different perspective.
By the time season 4 came along, the viewers got a taste of Richard and Brandon.
I occupied a different space and I dont think that space has been occupied since.
I cannot think of another season that was led the way I did it in season 4.
Younger viewers are now watching the old school seasons and I get messages or mail almost weekly.
I hope I moved the needle in a positive way over the last 20 years of visibility.
Oh, yeah, I invented coconut popcorn.
Should have trademarked that stuff!
And for futureSurvivorplayers, coconut is a laxative.
So slow your roll with the coconut popcorn in those first few days.
What is your biggest regret from yourSurvivorexperience?
That season 4 didnt have hidden immunity idols!
I dont live with a lot of regret.
I keep trying to reinvent myself and make a run at learn from the past.
I admire and respect the space he has carved for himself.
The three of us went at it and created some great TV.
For years, we were on MTVs best reality fights.
By the time I got back, all the damage was done.
Not one single other time could I see where the crew was staying.
I regret not recognizing what was going on and refusing to be interviewed at that time.
We were told a few rules before the game began.
Dont eat manta rays or the islands goats and cows.
Pigs were fair game.
Anyway, I digress, Mr.
Fancy Pants, Jeffrey Lee Probst, stops production and gets all of us together.
Our tribe was still eight members strong.
How do you feel about the edit you got on the show?
Look, I gave them ALL the bullets to shoot me with.
What was it like coming back to regular society after being out there?
Was there culture shock or an adjustment coming back?
Well, reverse culture shock is real and well, a shock.
I hoarded food for a while.
I slept on my parents couch for two weeks because I would wake up and see the forest.
It was a mind f…. anyway, you know what I am trying to say.
Whom do you still talk, text, or email with the most from your season?
I think most serious fans know that Neleh and I are besties.
The greatest gift I got out ofSurvivoris one my best friends ever.
We lean on each other and we just really like and love each other as people.
I cuss like a Banshee and she, doesnt.
She drinks like a fish, and when I mean like a fish, I mean water.
Like lots of it.
Her drug of choice is sugar.
Mine is sold in dispensaries.
Do you still watchSurvivor, and if so, whats your favorite season you were not on and why?
I know its totally cliche, but its hands downHeroes vs. Villains.Next isSecond Chanceand my third isDavid vs. Goliath.
I loved the idea of a ballot.
My slogan for aSecond Chance IIis: Why do it when you might OVERDO it?!
Whos one player from anotherSurvivorseason you wish you could have played with or against and why?
Sandra, because shes the Queen.
Courtney because shes Courtney F—ing Yates.
Can I say F words?
If not, Cause shes Courtney F—ing Yates.
Frankly, I would love to play with Brice.
We are besties in real life, but do not play well with each other when playing elimination games.
Im just too much juice for Bricey Boo.
If you could make one change to any aspect ofSurvivor, what would it be and why?
GET RID OF THE GIMMICKS AND THE IDOLS.
You got the Hidden Immunity Idols which can be cancelled with Idol Nullifiers.
Thank u, Next.
Finally, would you play again if asked?
Do whales crap in the Pacific Ocean?
All jokes aside,Survivorchanged my life in so many amazing ways.
I have been able to raise money for a variety of causes.
I have been lucky enough to engage with some of THE BEST FANS EVER.
They are loyal and they are committed.Survivoris 20 years old for one reason only: THE FANS.
