In hindsight, of course I should have seen it coming.
I really thought it was going to be in the best interest of Natalie to be honest with me. I just really thought I could trust her, and it would have been a smart move for all of us if I’d stuck around.
Natalie is totally naïve to think she’ll make it to the finals with the alliance of Amanda, Parvati and Cirie. Parvati did a good job of getting Natalie and Alexis to think they could be on the inside of the alliance.
If that works out for them in the end, more power to them. I just can’t see that happening. The alliance between Cirie, Amanda and Parvati is too strong, and they would never take a fan to the final three with them.
I would have loved to align with Amanda and Ozzy. Ozzy’s a cool guy, and when we’re competing with each other, of course we’re both going to go 110%, but it was great working with him. They were all just so set in their alliance and they didn’t need to take me on.
James did not like me. I guess he just thought I was some hot shot, little white punk, and couldn’t get over the fact I was confident and competent in what I was doing. I don’t think he was ever going to budge in his alliance or try to get me on board. He was just a pawn – Ozzy’s little toy - and didn’t really think for himself the whole game. I think James gets a real pleasant edit; he's actually kind of an abrasive, vulgar man.
I should have been more aware of the girls’ alliance forming, but I wasn’t. Yeah…that’s all I can say about that. I may have just blinded myself by only thinking fans vs. favorites.
A Cut Throat Season
I would say so! Especially the girls. Listening to some of the things Natalie said last night, I was blown away. (I guess that's what happens - you get cold hearted when you're a cocktail waitress in LA for the past 10 years).
It was real cut throat from the very beginning. To vote off these players that loved Survivor and really wanted to be there, then to have people like Chet, who quit the game saying, "My foot, my foot," is just tragic. What can I say? Chet happens.
I would hope that in another season my trusting nature wouldn't be so exploited. I'm a genuinely honest person. I think Erik is a little naïve, maybe like myself, but the fans are believing the BS of the favorites, and I was saying the whole game that you cannot trust anything the favorites say. They know how to play you, and they will given the chance.
Who Should Win?
I would love to see Alexis go to the end. She is a beautiful girl, inside and out. I absolutely adore her. I’ve got my fingers crossed that she can pull something out of her hat. Right now though, it’s looking pretty bad for the fans.
