And I think that last week was the first time that he had the opportunity to prove it.

He's confident in his abilities, which I guess can come off as cockiness. He just kind of comes off a little strong. What was it about them that rubbed everyone the wrong way? Eliza: I don't know. IGN TV: Jason doesn't seem to have made a lot of fans amongst the cast. And basically, Alexis and Natalie found that offer to be not that appealing once Jonathan was gone because they kind of weren't huge fans of Jason. What do you guys think?' But they were kind of non-committal, so it felt way to risky to throw a challenge, which is something I'm kind of opposed to in general anyhow.

And maybe we should even throw a challenge and get rid of James and break up James and Parvati before the merge. IGN TV: After Jonathan and Kathy were gone, did you still attempt to work with Alexis and Natalie? Eliza: Absolutely, because I felt I had Jason on my side, so the two of us would talk to the two of them and say, 'Listen, we should stay together at four, blah blah blah. I mean I've been talking about that over the last few days, just how many unfortunate breaks I got in the game – between Fairplay quitting, Cirie deciding not to be with us, Jonathan being medically evacuated, Kathy quitting the game, Chet deciding to quit before he could have voted out Ozzy… it was just so many different things happening that really led to my demise. I'm assuming then it must have been pretty crushing to have Jonathan and Kathy leave the game for different reasons, without being voted out. IGN TV: Jonathan told me that after the tribe mix-up, you, he, Kathy, Natalie and Alexis had agreed to work together. So being in an alliance with people who she could manipulate more easily I think was also something that was probably really appealing to her. It was very much where we'd come to a consensus about things and all discuss it and be like 'Who do you think we should target first? Parvati or Ozzy?' We would just kind of discuss things as a group and Cirie kind of likes to call the shots… you may have noticed. She wouldn't be able to pull all the strings. Honestly, our alliance, if she'd stayed with me, Ami, Jonathan and Yau-Man, she was on par with us. Cirie I guess just decided that she'd be in a better position with four people who she felt she could manipulate and control. IGN TV: What's your perception of Cirie flipping? Why do you think she did that? Eliza: Well, evidently there was some stuff behind the scenes that I did not know about at the time and she felt that she couldn't trust Yau-Man or Jonathan, so it really had nothing to do with me and Ami. I knew they were gamers, but I'm a gamer, so I thought that it would be a really good alliance that I could see staying in until the end. I felt they were people that I just bonded with immediately, who I could trust and connected with on kind of an intellectual level. Did you think that would be a solid alliance? Eliza: Absolutely. There are so many great characters that why bring back new people, when you have solid, great people who you know will pull through and be exciting to watch? IGN TV: Pretty quickly you were aligned with some very strategic players like Yau-Man and Jonathan. I was hoping that more of us favorites would be asked back and to see people competing like Terry Dietz and Twila from my season and Coby. IGN TV: What did you think about taking on fans of the show this season? Eliza: To be honest, I was kind of disappointed. We've spent a lot of time together over the last three and a half years, since our show aired and that was all definitely behind us. Going in to this season, that was all in the past I take it? Eliza: Definitely.

You two had a very turbulent relationship on your last season. IGN TV: You referred to Ami as your closest ally.
