Cody: I'm not sure that was ultimately my downfall with Brad. I think that's what the other guys held onto as something to vote me out. I don't regret showing Brad those clues, I was inside my sub-group alliance and was trying to show them I trusted them.

TME: If you could've picked what the challenge would've been on redemption island to get you back into the game, what would you have hoped for?

Cody: A puzzle, I think. Turns out I'm pretty good at puzzles and in my mind that's as neutral a challenge as you can get. I feel that the last challenge [on redemption] is definitely geared to someone with smaller feet, less body weight. Guys that are built like me tend not to do as well in that challenge. I definitely would've preferred a challenge that I thought I had a better chance of winning. 

TME: Did you get the experience you expected [on Survivor]?

Cody: I don't think anyone gets the experience they expect on Survivor. What I got was an incredible experience. I wasn't 100% pleased with the outcome but it was definitely the real Survivor experience, I got blindsided, sent to redemption island, had disappointment, blunders and success. It was the full Monty.

TME: Laura, you outlasted your husband. Did you have any idea with him having the experience of being in the game before you'd be able to outlast him?

Boneham: He gave me the position to outlast him. That was his gift to me was to let me advance ahead of him. So it was a different situation.

TME: Did you like that twist in the game that a loved one could replace you on redemption island if they wanted to?

Boneham: We [both Rupert and I] did not.

TME: Besides telling Vytas he was the next to go, if you had it to do again would you do things differently?

Boneham: I feel like I played the hardest game I knew how to play. I was myself. Maybe I'd try to be less emotional but socially I played as hard as I could with the skills I had. 

Survivor Blood vs. Water airs every Wednesday night on CBS at 8 p.m.
