Each weekday, EW will post the answers from a different player.
Fun fact: Without the General, there is no Boston Rob.)
For a couple of years, I studied adventure travel and tourism.
CBS
Most of this was done with Lex fromSurvivor: Africaand Hunter Ellis.
I presently oversee the operations, maintenance, and all other functions of this Adventure Park.
What is your proudest moment ever from playingSurvivor?
My proudest moment would probably be winning the Individual Immunity.
What is your biggest regret from yourSurvivorexperience?
I was speaking with show folks while getting ready for the show, and they wanted my three items.
Anyway, my Luxury Item was picked as the voodoo doll.
After about a week into the game, it disappeared.
I never made a big thing about it, so they didn’t follow the story line.
I believe it was within the last week I was in the game it reappeared by my belongings.
Wish I knew it bothered them, I would have kept an eye on it.
How do you feel about the edit you got on the show?
You will never hear me complain about the way I was edited.
You sign a contract and make that deal, they show whatever they choose.
The outcome is the outcome, how you get there and the story is owned by them.
It doesn’t matter if they show scenes out of context or timeline.
You signed that right away.
So be an adult and if you said or did it, you said and did it.
Doesn’t matter how they show it, be an adult and own it.
What was it like coming back to regular society after being out there?
Was there culture shock or an adjustment coming back?
Big culture shock and big adjustment.
We left in early November 2001 to film the show.
I returned home the evening of Dec. 23.
I needed to hear them to feel all right.
This did take quite some time to get over.
Can anyone honestly ever answer this question and say never?
I guess Boston Rob can, ha!
I think he’s been doing this so long they got to get him a retirement plan.
That is no way to live.
I have made tons of bad decisions, and good ones too.
Being an adult is making the best of all the outcomes.
I think half were in the raft and half in the water.
Ha, ha!!!
But regrets, no.
So whom do I still talk, text or email with from my show?
I have to say absolutely no one.
Everyone has life going on, and priorities continuously change.
I watched very littleSurvivorbefore I went on the show.
I watched a couple of seasons after mine, mostly because I contributed to a weeklyUSA Todayentertainment article.
I watched the firstSurvivor: All-Starsin 2004 due to the article and lots of friends participating.
That was the last time I watchedSurvivor.
Who’s one player from anotherSurvivorseason you wish you could have played with or against and why?
Lex and I have been very close ever since we met in 2002.
We speak, if not weekly, more than that.
We are the same age, have a lot in common, and our values are identical.
He is also one of the most creative and intelligent guys I know.
Love him!!!
If you could make one change to any aspect ofSurvivor,what would it be and why?
I understand that there is a natural evolution to everything, even a game show.
You don’t need to “jump the shark” all the time.
So this would mean no recruiting.
Go with applicants, those that are interested in the game and not airtime and drama.
Finally, would you play again if asked?
After I came back from the Marquesas, I did a lot of thinking.
I never glossed over the fact that I just had a once-in-a-lifetime experience.
I was lucky enough to bulls— my way on the No.
1 show on television.
What an amazing feeling!!!
But it is a once-in-a-lifetime experience for me.
Anything else would just cheapen what I already have.
Second, third time never feels like the first.
