What were their experiences like?
And how is the show different there as opposed to the one we know here?
EW has assembled our own international all-star squad to partake in our first International Week ofSurvivorQuarantine Questionnaires.

“We were stuffing them in our bikini tops, as well as stuffing our faces.
It’s probably why none of the footage of us getting the lollies was used, haha.”
Fenella and I have a podcast calledJust Shonella Things!So we have a lot of fun with that!

What is your proudest moment ever from playingSurvivor?
Ahh it’s hard because I have so many!
In my day-to-day life I’m not exactly sporty.
I mean, I love going to the sauna and pilates, but that’s about it.
So when I see these crazy physical challenges, it’s my mind that gets me through them.
and then to go ahead and do it makes me so, so proud!
People overlook me and I love showing these sporty people that I can out-sport them.
What is your biggest regret from yourSurvivorexperiences?
Not convincing Harry to give his advantage to Nick!
I wish the script said that we could merge earlier.
Which is very funny now knowing that he was actually on top.
In my opinion, Dave is the best winner so far!
Isn’t that crazy?
I don’t know if this is very mind-blowing, but it was funny.
We were stuffing them in our bikini tops, as well as stuffing our faces.
It’s probably why none of the footage of us getting the lollies was used, haha.
There was a massive log rolling amongst the waves and everyone was tripping over rocks and roots.
It’s actually pretty funny how angry we were.
How do you feel about the edit you got on the show?
I felt like my edit was very accurate of who I am.
I said “Why am I like this?!”
a million times because sometimes I can’t believe my own sass.
What was it like coming back to regular society after being out there?
Was there culture shock or an adjustment coming back?
Then you remember you don’t need to find food anymore.
Other than little things like that, my adjustment very smooth!
Not regretted, but I hated the anxiety of the episode days.
It’s so scary not knowing what will be played or how it will be edited together.
Or even sentences can be used about different people completely.
I wish they let us watch the episodes before they air.
Whom do you still talk, text, or email with the most from your seasons?
Fen is my numero uno, we chat every single day or at least every second day.
Nick is absolutely hilarious, so I talk to him a lot too.
He’s a Taurus too, so we have a very similar sense of humor.
Other than that, we have a group chat with Harry, Brooke, AK, and Locky.
The group chat is mostly everyone taking the piss out of Harry.
What’s your favorite season ofSurvivoryou were not on?
Australian Survivor season 4 is my favorite!
I didn’t get to finish the season asAll Starsstarted!
But I watched most of the remaining episodes in Jury Villa.
Why am I never allowed to bring my silk pillowcase?!
I’m such a hustler though.
Benny, my husband, and my family always have strict instructions when it comes to presents from home.
I tell them it needs to be something useful.
Season 3, I got an additional bit of clothing (stoked) and season 5 I got sunglasses!
Finally, would you play again if asked?
I actually had a dream last night that Benj, Mat, and I were playing again!
It would depend what was happening in my life.
Life is for living so you never know.
