(Day 32)
Jerri: Awesome! This is awesome. I love the rain. The rain rules. (muttering to Candice) Has Russell been talking to you about coming over to our side?
Candice: Yeah, he talked to me a little bit this morning, and he said the rest of the people probably mentioned something.
Candice (solo): At this point it's really no longer Heroes vs Villains. I'm on the bottom of the totem pole and I'm trying to work with the Villains. Anything that will give me a better deal or make me feel more secure, I'll do it.
Jerri: Where's your head at?
Candice: It is an option.
Jerri: A better option than what you've had from what I can see.
Candice: What I said is I'm cool with it. You guys tell me what I need to know. Obviously I know you can't tell me everything. (mutters something) It's kind of like they never really wanted to play with me. I'm lucky we never lost another immunity. When nobody's talking to you, when you start talking and people freak out, that's probably not a good sign for you. I don't know for sure, I just know I never felt comfortbale, you know?
Jerri: Yeah, I can see that. Just the camp lifestyle.
Jerri (solo): Candice has really been knocked around over here on the Hero camp, and I think she was next on the chopping block. I saw it as an opportunity to pick her brain a little bit about where her head's at in the game. See if maybe she might be willing to flop over to our side, in case we need an extra vote.
Candice: I know I'm on a sinking ship, and if you guys need help doing whatever needs to get done, I'm open to it. Let me know.
Candice (solo): I'm down in numbers, so I have to play nice, I have to keep my options open and let them know that if they want to work with me, I'm here. Who knows what may happen? I'm not giving up.
Jerri: Alright. That's cool to know.
Candice the Day After
Candice reflects on her time in the game, and assesses what she got out of playing a second time
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8ltLxHAWOfY
"Playing the second time around is definitely different. It's different in a lot of ways. You don't have the luster of the first time you played Survivor. You're playing with people who have really played this game hard their first and second times. There's no getting to know you period, because everyone already thinks they know each other, so it was like super-serious gameplay from the second we hit the beach. There were no throwaway people. Everybody was playing hard in this game. It was very different. Also we had the survival part down, at least on the Heroes tribe. We kind of got everything together really quickly, we got our shelter done, we got fire, we got food, and we sat around like what else do we do? The first time around it took a couple of weeks to get the stuff figured out. We had stuff going on every day, we were struggling. Within the first few days this time we were like, OK, done, now what? It was different. There were huge personalities out here, and people were playing so hard. You almost got in trouble for playing because people were like, 'No, no, what are you doing?' You couldn't go to the bathroom without somebody following you. If you walked off to get water with somebody it was never innocent, somebody was always watching. Who's coming with you and what's going on. It was tough. Mentally it was much harder and emotionally it was much harder this time around because of all those factors going into it. It wasn't as first time at school, first day sort of thing. It was like oh, I've been here and done this, and people are killing me."
"I didn't really particularly love being labeled a Hero. I'm not a Hero, I'm a person. The people on the Villains tribe aren't Villains, they're people. Everybody lies in the game of Survivor, everybody double-deals, so even the Heroes did that when they played. I did it, but I'm a Hero and somebody else is a Villain? I feel like the lines were really blurred. Maybe people tried because we're on the Heroes tribe, assign a certain expectation to how you play the game, and if you don't play the game that way, then you're ostracized. Maybe the same thing on the Villains side. I think there was an expectation that came with the title Hero or Villain that wasn't how I necessarily intended to play the game or other people intended to play the game. I think definitely in the end I really got thrown under the bus, saying there's only 2 Heroes here, Rupert really giving it to me. I never considered myself a Hero or a Villain (air quotes). I was playing the game. I'm not saying I played a great game, or that the decision I made was the right decision. I kind of feel like a jerk in the decision I made, and an idiot, but to throw me under the bus and attack my character for that, I think really came from the label that you're a Hero, we're supposed to be Heroes. It's tough."
"I would say my biggest downfall in the game was my own personality. I'm neurotic and I get nervous about everything. That's really not a good characteristic in this game. I let it get to me. Then the plans change at the last minute in my alliance. I got nervous and I'm like wait, what's going on, everyone's changing on me, they're flipping on me, they don't trust me. Sandra flip-flopping at the last minute made me nervous. I felt like the Villains had their plan in place, maybe I should go with them, they know what they're doing and it's solid, versus the Heroes plan changing all around and I don't know where I stand with it, and...I'm neurotic."
Secret Scene: Danielle
Danielle and Parvati flirt with Colby on the beach
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SgppVGQPVPs
(Day 33)
(Colby is laying down with Jerri when Parvati and Danielel walk up)
Colby: Ya'll going to get more water? I see my bottle. (they say yes) Thank you very much.
Danielle: Can I borrow your shoes to walk in? I didn't bring mine. (he says they're big but gives them to her) Thanks Colbs.
Danielle: We'll be back.
Parvati: Do you have a little crush on Colby?
Danielle (solo): I am definitely attracted to Colby. He's very athletic and he's sexy. I haven't seen an attractive guy out here for days. Not to say I'm going to act on anything but he's just trying to get to know me and I'm trying to get to know him.
Parvati: I think he's (?). Just pay attention to it, you'll see.
Danielle: I will.
Parvati: Oh, oh, reach it.
Colby: I'm trying to keep up with you kids.
Parvati: Danielle started it. (Jerri mocks her)
Colby: We started our bonding on our reward. That was it.
Danielle: When he saw me scrapping (?) and fighting.
Colby: She was holding her own in a throwdown.
Parvati: It's pretty sexy when a girl can do that.
Colby: It was quite the turn-on.
Parvati (solo): Colby has been flirting with Danielle and Danielle has been eating up the attention. It's been a tough game. If you can have some tough game, so if you can have some guy flirting with you it makes you feel like you're not gonna go insane. (laughs) It's a cat and mouse game with Colby and Danielle.
Colby: Danielle, you can wear those (shoes) back to camp. I don't mind.
Parvati: Colbs, you're such a sweetheart. (laughs)
Jerri: Keep up with you kids.
Parvati: Such a gentleman. You're a peach.
Colby: Don't give me that.
Danielle (solo): I'm in a really tight alliance with Russell and Parvati, I have no intention of leaving that, but I'm gonna play like maybe he has a possibility of pulling me in with him, to get as far along in this game as I have to. Yeah, I'm attracted to him, but I'm not here to flirt with guys. I'm here to play this game and win a million bucks.
Danielle: Colby, thank you so much for letting me use your shoes.
Colby: Yeah, sure.
Danielle: Appreciate it.
Danielle's Final Words
Danielle reacts to having just been voted out of the game
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R8jZzkIFmcA
"I feel like I've played a good game, and maybe a little too aggressive this time, but I did the best that I could and that's all I can."
"They better get Russell off. (laughs) That's my only...He's just a conniving person and he'll manipulate people to do exactly what he wants. I'm upset he tested me. I was in an alliance with him. I've never given him any reason to not trust me. That's why when he said he's testing me, I'm lie, why are you testing me? I just think they'll all be fine, the Villain tribe will be fine if they get Russell off on their next move."
"I can't play into him. He's so hard to deal with. My personality and his personality just don't clash. Parvati was able to handle him a lot better than I am. Tonight I may have put my own foot in my mouth at Tribal Council by just calling him out in front of everybody. I think he changed his vote the last minute actually. I think Jerri did too. I just couldn't hold back from the things I felt he did to me all week. Planting a seed in my head, making me turn against Parvati this whole week, and finally when I acted on it, he ran right up to Parvati and told her. My feelings were hurt and that was that."
"Russell is insane. I've never seen anyone so psychotic. You feel like you're in prison when you're around him, especially when you're aligned with him. He stares at you all day long. He watches every single person, who they talk to, and then after they talk to them, he goes up to them and asks them what they talk about. He goes up to you and asks you what you talked about, just to make sure the stories match up. He does this non-stop. He doesn't do any work around camp. He's horrible, he doesn't do anything in the challenges. He just sits there and stares at people to make sure they're not trying to get him off or anyone in his alliance. Now he's testing the people in his alliance. This is the second season in a row he's playing and he wants it bad, he wants it really bad. He'll do whatever he has to to get there. That might bite him in the ass at the end because I don't know how many people are gonna vote for him."
"I feel like Jerri and Sandra and Parvati, now their eyes are open to the potential Russell has and what damage he can do even to his own tribe."
Danielle the Day After
Danielle reflects on her time in the game, and reveals her greatest mistake that lead to her demise
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5tT2upL-IZM
"It was quite the ride this time around, compared to how I played the game the first time. This was the most intense thing I've ever had to go through in my life. There were so many strong players that it made every single minute of the game so intense. You couldn't stop thinking and worrying about even if you were in an alliance where you felt safe, were you really safe. It kicked it up 10 notches compared to the last time I played. It was so much more mentally exhausting this time around because everyone knew how to play the game, everybody wanted it, and it was a crazy, crazy ride."
"I think I was a huge threat in this game. I played this time around so much more aggressive than I ever played the first time. I did really well in all the challenges. I think people underestimated me up until the merge and then people started to see my true colors and how bad I want the game. I think at that point people started thinking about me being at the end, even people in my own alliance. I think even people in my own alliance where threatened by my gameplay."
"It was a crazy feeling to have my torch snuffed. To hear Jeff, the night I got voted off, that was the first time my name's been written down the entire game. To see my name come up as he held the vote, it was a weird feeling. I don't know how to explain it. I almost sensed it was coming at that point, but even so, sensing it was coming and seeing my name written down, it's disappointing. I wanted to play this game to the end, I was set, I had good alliances, I thought. I think I became too much of a threat. I was aligned with a snake. He deceived me and tried to turn me against my friend Parvati and it blew up in my face. I couldn't hold back any longer. He was so controlling the entire game. It was impossible to get away from him. I aligned with him on day 1 and I wanted to stay loyal to him to the end of the game, and then it became a factor of me being afraid to make a move against him because he threatens everybody."
"The whole control thing with him was clear from the beginning. I had to bite my tongue. Being the person I am, I don't stand for someone trying to control me. I literally felt like I was in a little box. The way you had to work with him, if you wanted to make a move, you always had to make it seem like it was his idea, otherwise he would get mad at you and threaten to get you off. Being strong-minded and independent, it was like I can only take so much of this guy. That's why I freaked out at him at Tribal Council, because he's such a liar. I know the game's about that, but have some respect, especially people in your own alliance. Don't turn them against each other. It wasn't necessary to do it at that point."
"I just regret aligning with Russell. That's the only thing I regret. But I did it on day 1 and I took a risk. I got far in the game. I just wish I had known how he was as a person. I would rather have aligned with somebody I liked and I wanted to play with to the end of the game."
