Why do you want to come back for Survivor 50 and how does it feel to be chosen for this milestone season?

Because I live for adventure and experiences. Survivor is the greatest adventure game to ever exist and I am here to win it. When Jeff personally asked me back, my soul erupted like an emotional volcano. Once that lava of passion for the game started flowing, nothing could stop it.

What one life experience since the last time you played do you feel has prepared you for 50?

After living in Venice Beach for twenty years, I packed everything up, I said goodbye to my friends and community and moved back to the town I was born in. I had an ambitious plan, a dream, to build a music venue, vinyl bar and restaurant in the historic Guanajuato City. By far, the hardest thing I have ever done in my life.

Coming into this season, what is the Survivor accomplishment you are most proud of? And what are you eager to have another shot at?

I am more proud of sticking with the Aitu Four and decimating our competition to prevail against all odds. I am eager to have another shot at building a strong alliance to go to the end with!

What would you say is your Survivor reputation and how will you manage that perception in the game?

My rep is that of a washed up challenge beast. I am going to play up my rep as a loyalist in my alliance…almost all my alliance members have gone on to win.

What is your strategy going into 50? And how will it differ from previous time(s) you’ve played?

I plan to make deep connections with everyone I come across, and I won’t be afraid to stab them in the back if need be.

Survivor fans have had the opportunity to help shape the game this season by voting on various elements – what are you hoping makes the cut and why?

I hope they don’t give us rice so my skills are more valued. I hope fire making remains, I hope there are idols. These all play to my strengths.

At this point in your life who is your biggest inspiration and why?

Ana and Ian from Finca Tierra Farm in Costa Rica. They teach a permaculture design course that has changed my life. I have a dream to create a similar farm near the beach in Mexico to teach regenerative agriculture.

Why will you be the Sole Survivor? 

Because I am one of the best to ever play the game.
