Hello everyone welcome to another White Rice Wednesday . We have seen many characters in Survivor Pretty Boys, Challenge Beats, Underdogs and Hero's. What makes a story great is Villains today I interviewed a well known Survivor Villain Abi- Maria Gomes. Abi played on Survivor Philippines and Second Chance. We talked about her two seasons and of course all things Survivor.

1. What have you been up to since Survivor Second Chance?
   Abi- Focusing on my real estate career, friends, family and some traveling.

2. In Philippines you and R.C. seemed to hit it off but than you started not to trust her. Can you explain what happened.
   Abi- Everything happens very quickly on the island. We hit it off, but I felt like she was getting closer to Skupin and I was injured. I thought I had to come off strong in personality since I was weak physically.

3. Have you kept in touch with R.C.?
   Abi- Not really , I am extremely busy

4. How excited were you to be picked for a Second Chance?
   Abi- I was over the moon

5. The Witches Coven was in my opinion one of the best parts of Second Chance. What was the game plan for you guys?
   Abi- To live another day.

6. As a jury member if Kelley Wentworth won the last immunity challenge did she have a good chance at beating Jeremy?
   Abi- I think She had a huge shot, she played great!

7. When you were on Second Chance do you think you redeemed yourself from your previous reputation?
   Abi- I did the best I could to survive another day

8. Why do you think you are known as a Villain?
   Abi- Because I am a strong woman with a strong personality, plus I wasn't beating around the bush

9. Trust and loyalty seemed to be big for you. Once that trust is broken can trust and loyalty be restored?
   Abi- Trust and loyalty are very important on the game of Survivor, just like restoring those are as important. there is always room in working in a relationship.

10. Is there anything you regret in Philippines or Second Chance?
   Abi- Many things. What is done, can't come back, so I try and let go

11. What advice would you give to aspiring Survivor contestants?
   Abi- Listen to yourself, intuition. Be strong( mentally and physically) the game is harder then you think. You only see a fraction on TV.
