Survivor actress Wendy Diaz shares her memorable experience with the show
Season 41 of Survivor had been delayed due to the Covid-19 pandemic and now, EW is back with its past reality show. Wendy Diaz’s Survivor story appeared to end when she and Keith Sowell raised the sail on the Edge of Extinction signaling their desire to quit the game on day 17.
In her Quarantine Questionnaire, Wendy reveals how she specifically applied for Survivor with the sole intention of disrupting a key aspect of the game, and disrupt it she did. She also takes us through the big broken mast mishap, explains why she doesn’t regret quitting but wouldn’t do it again, and reacts to her “whackadoo edit.
My other proudest moment, you guessed it, was when I completed my master plan! Nyaka Nyaka. I really don’t like how the chickens are treated on the show, and watching them get thrown off the boat in Game Changers is what discouraged me from applying years earlier. My boyfriend (Janny) had jokingly suggested that I should get on the show just to help them, and in that moment, I had a sparkle in my eye.
She adds, I don’t think I have any regrets. As everyone saw, I played like myself and that was what was most important for me. I could have easily played a UTR game and gotten further but for me, there is no fun in that. When I’m a lil ol’ lady looking back on my season, I want to see my happy self doing what I wanted. Money is just temporary, but experiences are forever!
