Will the world’s most famous red sweater vest model ever return to the island?
It’s an insightful and entertaining look back from a true legend of the game.

It wasn’t until Jeff Probst encouraged me to consider writing that I ever thought about doing it professionally.
That was over seven years ago, and I’ve been doing it ever since!
I recently finished up work on the second season ofStar Trek: Lower Decks,alongside fellowSurvivornervous nellieDavid Wright.

What is your proudest moment ever from playingSurvivor?
It really made me question my talent for lawyering and, more generally, public speaking.
What is your biggest regret from yourSurvivorexperiences?
How do I pick just one regret?!
I definitely regret being needlessly snarky about other contestants in some interviews.
So I wish I’d strictly directed any snark at myself, which is my natural instinct anyway.
One of the coolest parts of being onSurvivoris that you get to keep the treemail parchment.
Unfortunately, later that day, someone used the parchment as kindling for the fire back at camp.
I was pretty bummed; I already had a spot picked out for where I wanted to frame it.
So I did and meekly resumed drowning myself.
How do you feel about the edit you got on the show?
And worst of all, now that’s the version of you the whole country knows!
It can be a very frustrating and helpless feeling, especially on social media.
It wasn’t always fun to watch and kept me from hosting viewing parties that season.
I allowed myself to enjoy watchingCaramoanmore, even if it was peeking through my fingers.
Heroes aren’t necessarily always heroes, and Villains more often than not aren’t really villains.
I think overall they captured my Survivor journey accurately, entertainingly, and movingly!
and in final Tribal Council say insecurity is my greatest strength.
Come on, that’s a pretty great arc.
How can I complain about that edit?
What was it like coming back to regular society after being out there?
Was there culture shock or an adjustment coming back?
The ability to easily retrieve ice-cold beverages from a giant glowing box!
Resting your head on a pillow that isn’t also a canteen!
Whom do you still talk, text, or email with the most from your seasons?
Across two seasons, Dawn and I played together on the same tribe for 66 days.
Twenty-four hours a day, to be clear.
It’s a special psychospiritual bond we’ll always have.
Also, she was the only other person to recognize the “Ease on Down the Road” birdsong.
I, the dodgeball target, gave a speech at her wedding rehearsal dinner!
Of course, I still watch!
For my favorite season, I’ll go withChina.
So it’ll always be a favorite of mine.
I’ve still never met her, which has only made her grow in mythological stature for me.
Other answer is Sandra.
If you could make one change to any aspect ofSurvivor,what would it be and why?
The insults eventually lose their impact just through repetition but remain an unpleasant, persistent toothache in your inbox.
Maybe aSurvivor"scared straight" program where I come in and let applicants scroll through my DMs?
Finally, would you play again if asked?
