Each weekday, EW will post the answers from a different player.
But there is so much else to Big Wendy’s story that viewers never learned.
It even came crashing down on top of them.

I continue to run my small business, now solely online due to the pandemic.
I started a brand new Twitch channel where I stream my shenanigans (BigWendyyy).
You know, same ol' same ol'.

What is your proudest moment ever from playingSurvivor?
I think my proudest moment was when I helped Manu 2.0 win immunity.
I couldn’t stop smiling at that moment.
My other proudest moment, you guessed it, was when I completed my master plan!
Janny looked on in horror when he realized I had taken his suggestion to heart.
Also, to answer you allyes, I have been a vegetarian since getting home.
What is your biggest regret from yourSurvivorexperience?
I don’t think I have any regrets.
As everyone saw, I played like myself and that was what was most important for me.
Money is just temporary, but experiences are forever!
I didn’t know everyone would make such a big stink about me leaving.
So we started tugging on the rope, and towards the top, it got stuck.
We started cracking up because we thought we were gonna leave the Edge in body bags.
So Keith and I actually broke the Edge mast on our exit.
Maybe that’s why nobody else left after us.
:p haha
How do you feel about the edit you got on the show?
Overall, I think the edit I received was fair.
Everything they show are things that I did, just in a concentrated amount of time.
I also wish they would have shown a little more of my strategy.
For example, I didn’t just sit there and stare dumbfounded when we were planning the Aubry vote.
If you rewatch her vote out, I think that’s the reason she looks at me so shocked.
What was it like coming back to regular society after being out there?
Was there culture shock or an adjustment coming back?
There wasn’t much of a shock for me, but more of an adjustment.
I think the biggest thing for me was my junk food withdrawal.
I ate like 10 bars of chocolate in ponderosa, haha.
But it was so weird looking at myself in the mirror after that.
I looked so emaciated and my thighs were the smallest I have ever seen them be, haha.
I gained all my weight back by the third day.
I think I’m the onlySurvivorplayer that had their family asking why I was chunkier than when I left.
I’m laughing at this now because it’s very true.
Despite this, I still don’t regret having this experience.
Whom do you still talk, text, or email with the most from your season?
My baby girl Reem will forever be my best friend from the show.
I meant everything I did from the first episode and wish I could have done more to save her.
I’m very happy I got to meet her and have her in my life.
I also love Keith, we got to bond so much after we left the Edge together.
He is so talented, smart and a darts champion!
I think my favorite season now isHeroes vs. Villainsbecause the characters completely make the show.
Who’s one player from anotherSurvivorseason you wish you could have played with or against and why?
I wish I was able to play against Tai.
He seems so lovable, and I think we would have a lot to bond over.
If you could make one change to any aspect ofSurvivor,what would it be and why?
so definitely, MORE IDOLS, jk.
Finally, would you play again if asked?
I love adventure and I will always say yes to an opportunity as great as this one.
