In Wednesday's Survivor, cracks began to form in the 'Strong 5' alliance after David aimed to target Kamilla, despite Joe and Kyle's arguments against it. Kyle put his game on the line trying to protect his secret No. 1, which raised more than a few red flags among his alliance. But by the time Tribal Council hit, Chrissy grew very vocal about not wanting the 'Strong 5' to run the game. She pleaded with those on the bottom to band together and not hand the game over to David, Joe, Eva, Kyle and Shauhin, but her pleas fell on deaf ears and she was unanimously voted out.
Below, Chrissy details an unseen conversation with David and reveals that their back-and-forth at Tribal Council was much more heated in person.
TVLINE | You were very vocal at Tribal Council against this 'strong five' alliance. But with Mary closely aligned with David and Star without a vote, do you have any regrets on anything you said or maybe the timing of it all?CHRISSY SARNOWSKY | I mean, yes and no. Obviously I could have kept my mouth shut and just let them choose who they wanted to go home, but it was quite obvious that they had this strong alliance and they were just gonna pick off the people at the bottom. They don't show a lot, but at night when we would go to sleep, we had two fire pits. All the strong people were in the one fire pit and all us little minions were in the other. They had this roaring fire and we had little kindle. And this is after two weeks of not eating and I'm just watching this go on. As the person I am, I just cannot sit back and just let them do that. If it got me voted out, it got me voted out, but I just wasn't gonna sit and wait until they thought it was Chrissy's time.
TVLINE | Were you aware that Kamilla's name was being thrown around so much? [Shakes her head no.] As I was watching it, I'm like, 'Why didn't David come and tell me that?' Kyle told Kamilla, so she had a fighting chance at Tribal to sort of play it out for herself. I didn't know that. I thought it was me all day long, so I was just like, 'F–k it, I'm gonna just go out throwing all their names out there.' If I would have known that I had a little bit of a chance, I would have definitely pulled it back and tried to answer my questions a little differently.
TVLINE | David seemed to get riled up as you were speaking your truth. At one point he said you were 'up in arms' about it, but you seemed pretty cool, calm and collected to me! What was your take on David's reaction and responses there?They don't show it, [but] at one point he was yelling at me and I turned around and I said, 'Who are you yelling at?' Like he was literally raising his voice at me, which is very unlike David, being with him the first seven days. He's the most gentlemanly, the most caring, and especially with females. So the fact that he was yelling at me at Tribal… that was another thing because David was the key to what I thought was going on. I thought we had five Civa. As Mitch was trying to tell them, we could have ran that vote if the five Civa would have stuck together just for that one vote, and then if we want to go our separate ways, fine. But once David started yelling at me, I was like, 'Alright, this five Civa is not gonna play!' [Laughs]
TVLINE | Yeah, we saw Mitch try to get the former Civas together to vote a Lagi out. Could that have ever worked? Was there any chance in hell?No, David was the key. I think Kamilla and Kyle, what I thought at least, would have went either way, whatever way would have benefited them the most. So if we definitely could have gotten David on board, it would have made their choice easier. But with David being so wishy-washy and not really committing to — well, he was committing. He was committing to the strong [five], obviously — so that made Kyle and Kamilla have to go that way too. They don't show it, but I bawled. I don't cry and I bawled my eyes out with David. I was just trying to plead with him like, 'This is what you're here for, to win a million dollars, and you have a better chance with us than going that way.' I could see he was torn in his eyes, but I knew he had left me.
TVLINE | Were you at all aware that Kyle and Kamilla were working that closely together?I was surprised to see how close [they were], and it's so funny 'cause it's right in my face. I should have been able to catch that and I didn't. I think I was just so happy. Night 1, I was almost like Andy from last season in my own head. I'm like, 'Nobody likes me.' I got super paranoid. And Day 2, Kamilla said to me, 'What do you think about the four of us working together?' Just her telling me that really gave me a sense of comfort, just for a couple of days at least. But not noticing that those two… they played it off well. They were very incognito. They're doing a great job. Kyle shocked me in this last one, throwing my name out there. It's so, so funny. But I texted him and I'm like, 'I love you and you're playing a great game,' so there are no hard feelings on that whatsoever.
TVLINE | After where she revealed her autism to the group, were people afraid to vote for her or target them after that? Why weren't they a bigger target out there?At the time, we didn't discuss it, really. It was sort of taboo. It happened and, to me, that was a non-issue. She's a strong player. Forget the autism part, just look at her as a person. She's 23, she's a beast, she's got the best alliance with Joe and it was quite obvious the whole time. I mean, you see it on TV. It's so funny because good friends of mine are texting me saying, 'I love Eva and Joe!' And I go, 'You realize I have to beat them to get the million dollars.' Even my friends want them to win, so that's what I was up against! I was up against a great couple that were unbreakable and you saw it. I was trying to go after them, but they were just too bonded. And this whole honesty crap that they're talking about is like, yeah, they're honest to each other, but you're not gonna be honest to everybody else.
TVLINE | I think it was David who mentioned at Tribal that oftentimes the strong athletic types are the big targets at the merge and maybe you were on the wrong season.Yeah, and I was! [Laughs] When I was going out there, I'm like, 'You know, I'm 55, but I'm pretty athletic. I'll be decent at challenges.' And then I saw David and Joe and Eva and Kyle, and I was like, 'Oh, man. OK, switch that. You're not going to be good at challenges.' [Laughs]
TVLINE | Had you thought about who you wanted to sit at the end with, had you made it there?Well, at the time, no, but I did know that Joe and Eva, they're doing each other a disservice. Only one person can win that million dollars. You two are playing the same exact game. That's what I was trying to tell them. How do I differentiate between you two when you're playing the same game, in my eyes. One of you has to make a move, and they were like, 'No, we don't.' And I'm like, 'Well, alright then, I want to sit next to you two, because if you're playing the same game, then that third person obviously has more of a highlight in my eyes.
TVLINE | Is there anything we didn't see on TV that you feel viewers should know?There was a lot more conversations. Like me crying with David. I thought that was good, trying to convince him to come with us. And just the arrogance of the strong people. We were all going and sneaking off, and they were just sitting right there talking strategy! They didn't have to go hide. Everybody knew they were playing together. I'm like, 'What the hell is this?' It was very frustrating.
