Hi Edna.  I will repost and rephrase a couple of questions I asked previously. Thanks for re-posting your question.

What did you consider your most embarrassing moment out there that was shown on TV? That would be my horrible lie that I told Christine before our first tribal council. I am terrible at lying!! And the 2nd most embarrassing was when I got tearful with Coach the day I was gonna get eliminated. I just didn't understand why everyone wanted to keep BH around, when he lacked interest in playing AND I wanted to stay.  As you know he eventually gave up immunity to drop out of the game. Too bad he didn't give up earlier.

Will you be back in future seasons to share your input with us? YES, I would love too...perhaps we can name the thread something else!.
You have like around a zillion fans on here and I dont think any of them want you to fade into the woodwork. A Zillion might be an overstatement, but I enjoy your company!.

And I would have voted for you in that Survivor Beauty pageant but I only found out about it when I saw the link up the page.  Sorry. It's not problem. I appreciate the sentiment! :-).

Cluehat Edna,

Since you will be extra busy with new child in a few months, I suggest fielding the fan questions soon.

My 2 questions are

1. Please describe your technique for knife sharpening that you used during Survivor South Pacific. Interesting that you ask, because they showed very little of me sharpening the machete, but I worked on that thing for hours at a time!! You have to find a flat lava rock (or any rock with a flat and smooth surface) and some water and fine sand. Then you have to grate the desired edge at an angle to sharpen the blade.  You have to constantly water the blade, to keep it wet and smooth while sharpening. Coach said that the blade I sharpened was the sharpest machete he's ever used in the 3 times he played Survivor.

2. What memorable events during Survivor South Pacific were not included in the final edit? I spent a lot of time with Cochran, opening up coconuts and sharing the meat. I realized my relationship with him was less important than his with Coach/Brandon, so I can see why it was eliminated.  The Ponderosa videos show how I spent lots of time with Cochran, which is nice, but the videos are too short!.

Hi Edna ! Repost: Is the water in Samoa As rough as Colby from HvsV Said? Or is it actually calm like it looks on TV? The terrain on Upolu, Savaii and RI beaches were totally different.  At Upolu, the beach was lots more rocky and the tides got very strong, to the point we had to move the location of our fire.  At Savaii, the sand was very soft, almost like powdered sugar, and the tides were more dynamic even during the course of a day. You had to travel about 50 yards to reach the reef/break, where it was supposedly dangerous and we could risk getting washed out to the ocean. At RI, the beach was lots more rocky. I never entered the water,  but the vegetation was totally different. It had papaya trees and polynesian chestnut trees everywhere. Upolu and Savaii had neither.
The water, over all in Samoa was very warm (it was in June/July) and tropical, just as one would expect of Tahiti or Fiji.
