Tijuana regrets falling for the trick.
But instead, he manipulated the group by playing on our vulnerabilities to want to care beyond the show.

As a bonus, we also learn whatreallyhappened in that Panamanian village shopping spree.
Settle in, old schoolSurvivorfans, because Tijuana Bradley is ready to deliver the goods.

What is your proudest moment ever from playingSurvivor?
Hmm… just getting on the show was a super proud moment.
At the time, there were over 100,000 applicants.
To be chosen one of 16 was pretty freakin' cool!
My hometown of Webster Groves, right outside St. Louis, was really supportive as well.
My brother, who has since passed away, was ecstatic.
This was one of those times.
What is your biggest regret from yourSurvivorexperience?
Pulling John aside to tell him that us girls were sticking together and that we were voting out Burton.
Trying to be “honest” got me voted out of the game.
It gave John a reason to manipulate the info to his advantage.
As well, having empathy for him really thinking his grandmother died.
But instead, he manipulated the group by playing on our vulnerabilities to want to care beyond the show.

It’s too far a trek.
I think the speed boat trip was maybe 15 mins or so.
It would have taken forever for us to canoe there!
How do you feel about the edit you got on the show?
The first half of the first episode was BS.
After trying to explain I already paid for the pot, she insisted I give more money.
The viewer doesn’t see any of that, and instead everything after.
What was it like coming back to regular society after being out there?
Was there culture shock or an adjustment coming back?
Not culture shock but my body took time to heal.
Loved every second of it and would do it all over again.
Whom do you still talk, text, or email with the most from your season?
Savage, Osten, Darrah and Ryno!
They became family out there.
I love them and always will.
Who’s one player from anotherSurvivorseason you wish you could have played with or against and why?
I don’t have a player I wish I could have played with.
Instead, I have players I wish hadn’t had to play with again.
And that’s the Outcast tribe.
I still think that’s BS that they let those jokers back in the game.
If you could make one change to any aspect ofSurvivor,what would it be and why?
Sounds like the editing could give a more accurate portrayal of things.
However, drama and controversy sells in reality tv it’s a part of the platform.
Finally, would you play again if asked?
