Sarah Baker was a member of the Purple team on NBC's Endurance.

SSM: What was your favorite mission ? ( if you have one )
Sarah: My Favorite mission was the VERY first one RiNg Of FiaaaHH! I loved it because one..People could see me and Reece’s buff muscles! hah just kidding but it was our very first mission and everyone was so pumped up and ready to compete. And it got very tense when it was between us and green! But we showed everyone our Massive strength and Showed green who’s boss =) .I Loved it also because We won it! Well.. who wouldn’t like something they won? haha. But it was so awesome to be competing in the first mission because it made me and Reece communicate more and get to know each other more and well of course the rest is history =)

SSM: What was your first impression of Reece?
Sarah: Reece, Reece, Reece- what can I say? I love that kid to death! Me and him are very close and we are really good friends! When I first saw him I was like.hey more hot guys! haha he seemed very nice and sweet. But I NEVER thought he was going to pick me as a partner! At first me and him didn’t talk because him and Chris were always talking with Lindi and Bryanah. And I was becoming friends more with Monroe =). To be honest when we first got there I was hoping we wouldn’t be partners because I was afraid he would be stuck with me as a partner and we wouldn’t get along because he would want to be Lindi or Bryanahs partner. So it REALLY shocked me when he picked me to be the purple team with him =). Now I think that’s the best part of being on the show was building mine and Reece’s friendship!

SSM: Did you learn anything from your experience on Endurance?
Sarah: I Learned so much from being on endurance! When someone does something mean to me, I confront them now and I’m not afraid to be who I am. Before when people would make comments about for example: what I wear, because I Mix and match clothes and I wear really crazy outfits! All I can say is that it’s not the Norm. for a small town like downers grove. But I am a Much stronger person mentally wise. I am very greatful with what I have here.. because living without all my things I use in Hawaii was really hard! but I found out I can do anything I put my mind to and I can adapt to things much faster. Overall I have become a better person and I am way more outgoing and happy with life =)

SSM: Both Reece and yourself seemed like a mellow team. Did you guys have any arguments regarding a certain plan/idea?
Sarah: Well of course Me and Reecy were portrayed as the little innocent team. I guess that was the role we were supposed to be! There was conflict involving at times. But i guess the show was just based on the MAIN conflicts like with Bryannah and Nicole. Then again there were a lot of things that happened when the cameras were not rolling. Like at night time! haha I wish they would of showed some of that =)

SSM: Who did you originally want as your partner?
Sarah: At first I originally wanted Monroe or Demian as my partner. Because they were the two guys I got to know when I first got there. Monroe made me laugh every second and I knew he would have the brains for any kinds of puzzles that might be in a mission. I also wanted Demian because he was the first guy I kind of talked to and he seemed really cool. And I thought we would be great partners. But I am SOOOO glad me and Reece ended up being partners because he is the most coolest guy I have ever met!

SSM: Would you change anything, if you could?
Sarah: Well if I could change anything. I would talk A LOT more. When I was there in the beginning I was kind of down because I didn’t have everything with me that I use every day and I would get hungry a lot haha. So I would of definately said more things in camera. And maybe I would of tried to start some drama! muahaha. But I think everything happened for a reason on the show so nothing should of been changed really.

SSM: How has being on "Endurace" changed/impacted your life?
 Sarah: Endurance impacted in my life in a lot of ways. My personality has changed, I am a stronger person, I am so happy with the environment I am in and the people I am around. It has made me realize that I can do anything I put my mind to. And I’m so happy I got that opportunity to be on endurance.

SSM: Do you still keep in touch with any of the cast? If so, who?
Sarah: I mostly keep in touch with Reece and Lindi. I have visited them and we are really close! I also talk to Rachel a lot! I love that girl to death. Then there is Monroe and Kareem who I talk to a lot online. They are all really sweet people.

SSM: Who were you the closest to?
Sarah: On the show I was closest to Lindi Rachel and Reece again. lol. Reece mainly because he was my partner and being with them 24- 7 made us become close really fast! It’s weird cause it felt like I have known him, Rachel, and Lindi since I was little. And me and Reece were like family on the show haha. I love those guys so much!

  SSM: Everyone who watched Endurance thought Reece was really hot, what do you think?
Sarah: OHHHH BaByY! haha yes I have to admit Reece is a hottay =) . I can DEFINATLY see how all those girls are amazingly obsessed with him. Wow he is such a chick magnet! But, he handles it good he isn’t like a conceited little man who knows he is hot and is like.. oh yes I know these women think ‘m hot and I am hot so I’m going to flaunt everything I got! lol no he is very down to earth and that’s probably another reason all the girls love him.

SSM: Who do you talk to most now?
Sarah: I talk to Reece, Rachel, Lindi the most now lol. like I said we are tight like dreadlocks*

SSM: When is your birthday?
Sarah: My birthday is September 21st 1990.

SSM: Did you have a crush on reece? if no, was there anyone you liked?
Sarah: Boys, Boys, Boys. Well I have to admit I have little crushes on some.. But that wouldn’t be fun if Ijust gave it away! hehe I’m a mysterious woman when it comes to guys.

SSM: What you think about nicole and her being so two faced?
Sarah: Well, people do make mistakes, and I think she was playing the game well because she was very determined to win. But most girls gossip and are two faced. That’s just life. But the past is past and we all move on =)

  SSM: Would you switch partners with anyone?
Sarah: I would so not switch partners! Me and Reece were a very good team. We worked well together and we also communicated really well and were really close. So we were really good friends and that helped us work better as a team.
