Hello everyone its White rice Wednesday!! How is everyone enjoying Survivor Game Changers? Todays interview will be with Millennials Vs GenX castaway Sunday Burquest. We chatted about her Survivor experience and all things Survivor.
1. What have you been up to since Millennials vs GenX?
Sunday- Im busy with my family, especially kids. My oldest got married this fall and I have one graduating this spring. Resigned from my job to be a public speaker full time. I'm working on my business plan and speaking out, I'm also involved in several charities for cancer/breast cancer.
2. What started the rivalry between you and Jessica?
Sunday- The rivalry with Jessica started after the Paul vote. Because we blindsided Paul, it took Chris and Bret off guard, The next day we had to repair it with them and for some reason that didn't happen as well with Jessica. I tried speaking on both our behalves but things just didn't go back to the way they were. Then I had to vote for Jessica because I was told before tribal there were enough votes for her to go home- so if I didn't vote for her and she does go home I come back to no alliance. I continued the idea that we were voting for someone else. Of course, she was upset about when she came back to camp(because of David). The next day we swapped and there was no time to repair it. We just couldn't get back to that place we started with. So in my mind it was just a matter who was going to go first. We all felt terrible she drew the black rock, however , it was everyone's choice to draw, any one person could have changed their vote to avoid the rock draw, so it's really not one person's fault- even though we felt awful for her( someone was going to get the black rock).

3. You and Bret had a tight alliance how close were you guys?
Sunday- Bret and I aligned day 2 deciding we could never write each other's names down. I can't imagine going through the game without him. We think a lot alike- it was like having one of my brothers there.
4. Everyone seemed close and accepting. How did it feel when Bret came out to you guys at ponderosa?
Sunday- When Bret came out first, we all thought he was joking, because we were all lying about our " real jobs" at Ponderosa. He's the last person you'd expect to be gay. It made me respect him for the courage it took and just made me even more glad that he was my friend.

5. Having survived cancer did you feel connected to Adam's story?
Sunday- I did feel connected to Adam- although during the game we had no idea things were as bad as they were. Once we found out at tribal- my heart went out to him and I felt a connection with him, being I'm the mom with cancer and he's the kid whose mom has cancer ( like my own kids).
6. How did it feel seeing your husband come out for the loved one's visit
Sunday- Seeing my husband was surreal. I needed that so bad and it was completely overwhelming.
7. A lot of people wanted to take you to the final three why do you think that is?
Sunday- First, I don't feel like a lot of people wanted to take me to the end, maybe a few- but at the time- during the game, this was not my feeling. For those that would have wanted to sit with me, obviously, they felt they made bigger moves and depending on the person that would be true. it all depends on who the other 2 are that you are siting with. My strength was my social game and I still had moves I had wanted to make before being sent home.
8. Were you nervous about going to rocks this season?
Sunday- Totally nervous about rocks- how could you not be? But by the time we were going to rocks, I was pretty ticked off so at the moment I wasn't feeling the nerves as much- later I was like HOLY CRAP!
9. If you had made it to the final three what would have been your pitch to the jury as to why you deserved to be Sole Survivor?
Sunday- Has I made it to the final three my pitch would have been my social game, my connections across tribes and ages- almost everyone totally trusted me. I had relationships to work within both alliances. If I were at the final three it would have been there because I would have had the chance t make the final moves I was looking to make.
10. You have survived cancer how are you doing now?
Sunday- I'm doing great as far as cancer goes- my 5 year anniversary is April 11th which is a big deal.
11. How did surviving cancer impact your game on Survivor?
Sunday- Getting through cancer really gave me the confidence and realization that could get through anything. Just getting through cancer- really proves to yourself you can do anything.
12. Would you ever play the game again?
Sunday- Yes for sure I'd play again in a second if given the chance.
13. Do you still keep in touch with anyone from your season?
Sunday- Yes I keep in touch pretty much with everyone.
14. Who are you rooting for on Survivor Game Changers?
Sunday- I'm rooting for Sara, Brad, Zeke and Michaela.
