Its been a while since we got an ice queen onSurvivor.
The New Era has mostly been a well of emotions thank God that changed with Genevieve Mushaluk.
Then it was off to the races.
Youre one of the few players this season with no public social media.
Youre not explaining your moves via tweets on a daily basis.
I have not gone looking on Reddit.
I dont want to hear it, because the Genevieve you see on the show isnt me.
People arent talking about me; theyre talking about the person they see, for better or for worse.
You have to be a true psychopath to tag someone in something negative.
The fan compilations are adorable and I love them.
We have to talk about last nights downfall.
Youre like, Oh, shes done, shes done.
Not, Shes done.
It was, I know shes going to get out of it.
How is she going to do it?Just rising from the dead every week.
I would imagine theres some part of your brain that looks back on final five constantly.
Im not that charming.
Im not that strong.
Im not that good at anything around camp, so why would they keep me?
So my what ifs arent bad.
It doesnt have to be me tonight.
But they were like, No.
When you have someone so emotional in front of you, it makes it not a game.
Youre out of that cerebral element, just living and feeling.
And when I feel, I cant think.
I can only do one thing at a time.
The two of us had so many high moments.
But there were times when votes could have gone either way me or Gabe?
She betrayed me so much!
It was a very complicated relationship, like siblings.I can do that to them, but nobody else can.
During final six, we saw you bring on Teeny, and the target completely shifted to Rachel.
Thats a big shift.
We spent so much time talking about how Rachel was a threat and Teeny was finally seeing it.
Andy could flip or go either way.
Sam wouldve stayed with me in that scenario.
I have no friends, so thats why we should get rid of Rachel and not me.
If I was vulnerable, she wouldve gone home.
Can you explain to me how Rachel was a big threat?
What happened?It took people different amounts of time.
People started to see it more as Rachel won challenges.
you could be strategic and people think they can beat you.
Rachel had this way of being not the most at anything, but still very good at everything.
Teeny is very social but hadnt won anything or demonstrated much strategic prowess.
Andys very strategic but not that social and not that strong.
Rachel was all things all the time.
She feels very New Era to me.
It lines up the next vote and then blah, blah, blah.
Its difficult to break out of that New Era mind-set.
I could never do it.
I dont have the patience or the self-discipline or the restraint.
Im like, No, lets get people out.
Lets do big things.
You repeated a lot on the show that Sol wasnt good for your game.
Why not?Sol and I did not get off on a great foot the first couple days.
We didnt trust each other, we didnt get along.
When did you pitch that?Night two or three.
Early in the game.
Hes like, Okay.
We go back into the shelter and I dont fall asleep immediately.
Within ten minutes, I hear Sol being like, Kishan, wake up.
In the morning, Kishan is like, Yeah, Sol told me everything you said.
I was like,Okay, so this guy does not want to work with me.
Thankfully, Kishan did, which is why I felt extra guilty voting him out.
But I knew Sol was strong.
Sol is low-key and strong and handsome everyone likes him.
Then theres me, the ice queen no one connects to.
If a Lavos got to go, who do you think it is?
The show frames it like Im avenging Rome and going for Sol.
I would never vote someone out for revenge.
Thats a terrible way to win a million dollars.
What ends up happening is, during that immunity challenge, Sue and I are paired up.
We go out midway and Im sitting on the sit-out bench.
I went through the inventory of all the names Ive heard, and Ive heard everyones except for Sols.
I was like,Damn it.
Everyone just likes this guy.
Thats going to be a problem for me.
And Teeny is close to him and will be more loyal to him.
Even the credit was managed.
It amplified my threat level.
But it was the right time.
Because if he doesnt go, then when does he go?
I fear he goes later, and I go earlier than five.
Really?If he doesnt go there, Kyle goes there.
Then you dont have the Tuku threat.Yeah, then why are people targeting Tuku?
So when would Sol go?
And he said, Lavo three to the end!
Im like, But, man, you also said that about Sam and Rachel.
Being the Purple Princess is where I thrive.
I dont need to see myself on it to know what I did.
The editors were doing a You dont know Genevieve yet.
Get ready for this.
Were you anticipating that?I had no idea.
I was very sick the first few days, and I hoped they didnt show that.
There was tension on the two sides of Lavo with Sol and Aysha and me and Rome.
Why is she saying, Everyone knows I want Sol out?
We havent known that.
Why are she and Teeny close but then have this crazy relationship?
Did you know that ice queen was going to be how you were portrayed?No.
Teeny explained to me after the Kishan vote what mother meant.
And I was like, But is that a good thing?
And then Teeny would screenshot tweets and translate them into something an offline 33-year-old grandma would understand.
Its a string of words that I know are English, but I dont understand how they go together.
Get Teeny to send you the edit of you and Rachel set to Girl, So Confusing.Okay.
[Writes Girl, So Confusing in her notepad.]
There were so many ways that it could have gone wrong, and Im a worst-case-scenario thinker.
I think Andy wanted to leave a mark.
Do you think its accurate that he needed to do something to make the jury notice him?…
I think so, yeah.
I have a few rapid-fire questions.
Sue: Did you believe that she was 45?[Laughs.]
How old did you think she was?I am a girls girl!
Final-four fire-making: Good twist?
The best players go out at four or five.
Jon Lovett: Did you know who he was?I did not know who he was.
Did anyone know who he was?Andy, maybe.
But Im in Canada, so Im allowed to not know who he is.
Everyone in the U.S. should know hes an important political speaker.
Come on, Americans.
Im doing a Jon promo now.
Season 50: If they call you, are you going?Yeah, if they call me.
Im a woman whos been on a diet her whole life!
It is so hard.
Im acutely aware of how much this game kicks your ass, and now Im ten times more afraid.
