Bryan: Who do you still keep in contact with from Endurance? Is there anyone you wish you still kept in touch with?
Lilly: I'm friends with almost everyone on Facebook so we stay updated on each other that way, but as of right now I don't keep in touch with everyone as much as I should! I was really busy in college. I saw Isaac in California when I went there in October, which was great! I'm hoping to see him again soon. [Wish I kept in contact with] Everyone! Darci is doing really cool things right now with the Olympic committee I believe. And I should really talk to Anna! I also got to visit her a few years ago when I was visiting colleges with my sister.
Bryan: What are you doing and where are you living now?
Lilly: I just graduated from college at Syracuse University and I'm about to move out to California to pursue a career in the TV industry. (behind the scenes this time!)
Bryan: How has Endurance affected you and/or your life? What is the most important lesson you learned from Endurance?
Lilly: Endurance honestly has given me an incredible start to a lot in my life. I worked on Survivor for 4 seasons, and I actually got that job partly because of Endurance. And Survivor was amazing, and the connections I made there have given me connections in LA, which might get me my next job, which might get me the job after that, and then I have Endurance to thank for my entire career! [The most important lesson I learned from Endurance is to] Chill out! People can be really dramatic. And I know drama is exciting for TV shows, but in life, what's the point of freaking out about things? Be nice to people. Be happy with the way things are, and if you want to change them, change them.
Bryan: If you could do Endurance again, would you? Is there anything you would change if you did it again?
Lilly: Of course [would do Endurance again]! I wouldn't have lied or broken promises. I hate it when people answer like this, but honestly it's not worth it. I'm glad I have a decent reputation and friendships with the 19 people I met, cause those are worth more than a trip to Hawaii. These are people I visit with and sometimes stay with when I travel around the US. The friendships are definitely worth more.
[note: this answer might be different if the prize was $1 million. but it might not! I would have to live it first]
Bryan: How did you feel about the way you were portrayed on the show? Was it accurate or not?
Lilly: Yeah it was pretty accurate. I was definitely more quiet at that time, nice, and strong.
Bryan: Were you ever recognized by random people?
Lilly: Only a few times! I was working the cash register at the job I worked at school, and one of the customers goes "You know I recognize you from Endurance, right?" I freaked out.
Bryan: Were you a fan of Endurance before being on the show?
Lilly: I WAS LITERALLY OBSESSED. I THOUGHT ABOUT NOTHING ELSE. NOTHING ELSE FOR 3 YEARS.
Bryan: Did you watch any seasons after yours?
Lilly: Yep! There was only season 6 after mine but I liked it a lot! I actually know Jackie from Purple E6.
Bryan: How do you feel about the cancellation of Endurance?
Lilly: So sad! It was a huge part of my life. It is a great show and I don't think there's anything like it on TV.
Bryan: Is there any non-invasive way for fans of the show to contact you?
Lilly: Take a look at my YouTube channels!
