TVLINE | If the tribe swap never happened, what was your plan for the rest of the game?
Let me tell you what would have happened, OK? First, let me tell you the difference between two tribes and three tribes. Two large tribes, that is when the social dynamics lead the game. That’s when it’s, who’s lying to who, who trusts who, who’s manipulating who. When it’s three smaller tribes, that is when the twists, turns, and advantages lead the chaos because the votes become a little bit more predictable, and so it’s the twists and turns and advantages that lead to exciting Tribals. That’s unfortunately what happened to me.
Had we stayed two larger tribes, which I really think the “Survivor” fans were enjoying, we would have seen, I think, juicier tribe dynamics because there’s giant five-versus-four, big juicy votes. Savu of seven, we were really strong. What would have happened there? I don’t know. I think it would have been really interesting to watch.
TVLINE | What did you make of Lewis’ not-so-magical blood ring?
I know I dropped my jaw. Apparently, I dropped my jaw for every damn thing. I had no idea I did that till I watched this myself on TV. But we very quickly realized it was fake because of Christian’s jewelry expertise, and actually, that is what made me feel even more confident going into Tribal. I was the only one that looked through Lewis’ bag, and we also all realized that the blood ring was fake. So I rightfully felt quite confident that Lewis did not have anything from Exile. And my relationship with Kilby, he showed me the one advantage that Maggie gave him. So I felt I was sitting pretty. I wasn’t.
TVLINE | Were you aware of the helicopter alliance? When I spoke to Jenna last week, she had no idea.
You know, actually on Day 1 when the two tribes were formed and we were driving away on our individual boats, I literally saw Sharonda and Jelly blow a kiss to each other or wink to each other, and I remember clocking that. And I saw Dev and Ori talking to each other as well at the marooning, so I actually had an idea that that was happening, but I didn’t want to call Sharonda out on it because I didn’t want her to think I was doing too much.
TVLINE | Let’s talk about the challenge. Was that three-tiered balance beam as hard as it looked?
It was tough. We were in second in terms of pacing behind Toka, but Mike just killed it on throwing the basketballs in. I mean, kudos to him, that was insane. It was like we looked up and he was done. We didn’t even get the opportunity.
TVLINE | What else should “Survivor” fans know? Anything we didn’t see or something you want to clarify?
I want revenge. I’m so ready to go back out there. I feel like, an hour before Tribal, two insane advantages arrived, I didn’t have the opportunity to respond in a strategic manner. I really didn’t have the time. I worked really hard to foster the relationships that I had, and I didn’t really get to use them in the end because of two crazy twists. So I’m bummed about it and I’m ready to get back out there. I’m grateful to have played.
TVLINE | What would you do differently if you get a second shot to compete?
Oof, I think I would embrace the chaos. I would have run after Maggie as she was talking to those individual people, because [if] someone comes on a boat, they have something and I can’t trust it. So I should have been stalking her and listening to what she was talking about or looking through her bag. I wish I did a little bit more of that.
