We asked her that and more via our Quarantine Questionnaire.
ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY: First off, give the update as to what youve been up to since appearing onSurvivor.
VAL COLLINS: SinceSurvivor, I had two more kids, Remy and Lenyx.
I also became a Sergeant on the police department.
What is your proudest moment ever from playingSurvivor?
Thats a hard one, I’m honestly not so proud of my game inSurvivor.
Thats not a bad thing to me.
My game was hasty, and I’m okay with that.
That being said, I’m fine with it, and believe that’s what was meant to happen.
What is your biggest regret from yourSurvivorexperience?
I didn’t adapt well after being on Exile right out the gate.
So I wish I relaxed more and had more fun.
This is more shocking to me than fans.
How do you feel about the edit you got on the show?
I was happy with the edit.
What was it like coming back to regular society after being out there?
Was there culture shock or an adjustment coming back?
So this I think was the biggest long term surprise.
I remember Jeff saying theSurvivorexperience changes people sometimes for the better, and sometimes there’s negative effects.
Despite being the second person voted out, I had a positive experience.
I made unlikely friendships and had time to re-evaluate.
I was ecstatic to be reunited as a family when we got home.
I really wanted to slow our life down.
We decided to expand our family after the show.
But there’s a lot that comes up after the show.
Then the show airs and you feel anxious about what will make it on the show.
I think friends and family expect you to be able to go right back to normalcy.
The hardest part was that Jeremy and I were both going through it at same time.
We both had different perspectives and experiences.
For us coming back, we were processing while trying to get back to normalcy for our daughters.
It was definitely hard for a little bit.
I never regretted going on the show.
I hated Exile and still don’t think I like it on the show.
However, I always valued the experience.
Whom do you still talk, text, or email with the most from your season?
I speak with Jaclyn.
She is a real genuine person.
We spent the most time together and really got to know each other in Ponderosa and after.
Do you still watchSurvivor, and if so, whats your favorite season you were not on and why?
Yes, I still watchSurvivor.
I lovedSecond Chance.I really loved idols being found during challenges.
I thought voting blocs was a great concept.
Whos one player from anotherSurvivorseason you wish you could have played with or against and why?
So I don’t really have one.
There’s people outside the game we are close to, like Savage.
I really like Michele, Tyson, and Fishbach.
If you could make one change to any aspect ofSurvivor,what would it be and why?
I would make the game always start with 3 tribes.
I feel like I know the players better in small groups.
Its harder to pick to get the easy person out.
Every relationship matters in small groups.
Finally, would you play again if asked?
