Each weekday, EW will post the answers from a different player.
Baamonde should at least be pretty happy with her game.
Although she did not win, she made it all the way to day 36.

I’m not waitressing anymore and got back into working with animals.
I’ve been working at the Center for Avian and Exotic Medicine for two years now.
What is your proudest moment ever from playingSurvivor?
Gavin Whitson and his castmates on ‘Survivor: Edge of Extinction’.CBS
My proudest moment was probably blindsiding Aubry (sorry, girl).
What is your biggest regret from yourSurvivorexperience?
I’m not really good at making friends.
I’d also look for idols more than I did.
We were all so exhausted that no one followed him.
We started talking and ended up hanging out until it got dark.
I even gave him fire-making tips.
I mean, I didn’t believe he was only there to make fire.
I assumed he’d idol-hunt as soon as I left.
He really was just making fire.
From there, we were buds.
We share the same sense of humor and kept each other sane.
How do you feel about the edit you got on the show?
I don’t hate it, but I don’t love it.
All in all, I think they made me look good, which I appreciate.
I think my game was a little too heady for it to really translate.
I wasn’t “in the shadows” like everyone says.
I was a very active strategist and was able to always know what was going on.
My game play, though, isn’t flashy and I never pandered to the camera.
I also have a really foul mouth and I’m pretty mean when I don’t like you.
CBS didn’t air any of my cursing or s— talking.
Don’t know whether I’m happy about that or not.
What was it like coming back to regular society after being out there?
Was there culture shock or an adjustment?
and apparently I thought he wasChris.
That was the only dream I had about it though.
I have to say, I am exactly the same now as I was before.
Whom do you still talk, text, or email with from your season?
I talk toGavinthe most.
We mostly give each other life updates and shoot the s—.
He was born two days after me I like to call him my brother.
We were really close out there and are still good friends.
I wish he lived closer.
Of course I still watch!
My favorite season isn’t original: It’s probablyHeroes vs. Villains.
It has all the great characters I grew up watching and loving, and loving to hate.
Who’s one player from anotherSurvivorseason you wish you could have played with or against and why?
She’s also pretty bad at lying from what I can tell, and a loyal person.
She can cry and I’d tell her to snap out of it.
It’d be great.
If you could make one change to any aspect ofSurvivor, what would it be and why?
I’d get rid of most of the idols and advantages.
They just benefit different people so differently.
Everyone idol-hunts at the beginning, right?
So idols are snatched up fast.
Isolating myself for hours idol-hunting would put ahugetarget on my back that would pretty much get me immediately axed.
Mid-game, it’s the people who are on the outs that have the freedom to idol-hunt.
Look at Rick he had nothing to lose!
If I did stunts like that mid-game, I’d ruin things for myself.
I just think too many idols overwhelm the strategy aspect of the game.
Some are cool, but the saturation needs to go.
Finally, would you play again if asked?
Jeff, did you lose my number?
