Exclusive: Ousted castaway Elizabeth Kim talks about 'Survivor: Samoa'

By Christopher Rocchio, 10/30/2009

Elizabeth Kim refused to be one of the lambs she feels Russell Hantz is simply leading to the slaughter, however she ended up feeling the "evil shepherd's" wrath anyway.

The 33-year-old urban planner from New York, NY became the seventh castaway eliminated from Survivor: Samoa during last night's broadcast of the CBS reality series.

On Friday, Liz talked to Reality TV World about how Russell is serving as the season's "evil shepherd;" why she can't understand why the flock is so blindly following him; what her strategy would have been had she made it to the merge; and why Foa Foa's losing streak is the result of a "self-fulfilling prophecy."

Reality TV World: After you were eliminated, you mentioned how you were a "little surprised." Based on that comment and the way you voted, I'm assuming that meant you thought Jaison Robinson was going home?

Liz: No. I pretty much had an idea. I mean when you're down to five people, you have to be deaf, dumb and blind to not know if you're going home. I thought I had a glimmer of hope with Jaison practically asking to be voted out, but it was no surprise.  Look at the numbers, right?

Russell has the [Hidden Immunity Idol], I know this by the Tribal Council vote, but I already knew this because I confronted him and he flipped out and he stomped off like a child. So that pretty much told me. Any doubt I had went out the window when he did that. So I was like, "Okay, Russell has the idol. He's taking [Natalie White] because Natalie is riding on his coattails."
