[@Luckruls]

Wow this was definitely an eye opening interview. Liz was literally doing what we were all hoping Phillip was doing in Redemption Island. The bombs getting dropped at FTC would have been great tv!

[@lizkw8497]

Agreed

[@mnwild62]

I don’t understand how that could ever be a winning strategy. It relies on you being in the end with 2 goats and a jury who won’t view it as, “oh this person is just making stuff up as revisionist history”

[@megarooster99]

You have to take her at face value here; she’s seen so much online ridicule so she could easily be reacting to that and trying to spin her story

[@LorenzoWake]

Faking you're a millionaire is the dumbest strategy I've ever heard of in the 40+ seasons of Survivor I've watched. Liz really is a special kind of delusional lmao

[@ClubPuguin]

Even worse than King Zane Knight's of asking to be voting to not be voted out?

[@tintintravelers]

Queen of dilutions

[@pslmanesselman2829]

She was NEVER a threat. Biggest laugh ever

[@ramprat5812]

The “I’m a millionaire” lie is really interesting strategy unfortunately I think Liz was delusional about her ability to change peoples perception of her at the 11th hour (she also acted like someone who really needs to be in control at all times and someone who thinks very highly of themselves and their abilities the entire time) and I think even if she got to end and said just kidding it was already way too late

[@marriage_enthusiast]

Spot on analysis!

[@Cailo4]

Completely agree

[@ilTHfeaa]

honestly there is so much more that we didn’t see . i’ve been seeing everywhere that Liz apparently was playing a really good game but it was edited down to like make her look like a crazy weirdo.

[@ramprat5812]

@@ilTHfeaa definitely true, we didn’t see everything and it’s possible she was playing a lot better game than we saw but she was acting like she had the game won, she literally told the final three “I would’ve beaten all of you”. Even if she was playing a lot better than we saw, I have a hard believing she was driving more of the votes than Charlie and I don’t think anyone believes she was as well liked as Kenzie so it doesn’t really make much difference if she was doing more than we saw, I don’t think she would have beaten either one of them at the end.

[@BlackGirlLovesAnime6]

She has an inflated ego, which is annoying but it wouldn’t be as bad if she could actually back it up

[@sherijms4]

I was baffled by Liz’s confidence against everyone after Maria’s vote off. The story of her game was not having control of the narrative behind “her big moves”. I was honestly hoping Liz made Final Tribal so we could see whether or not the jury agreed with Liz’s perception of her perfect game.

[@coreyellis9211]

Judging by those looks when she lost they definitely didn’t. She played a good game but that cockiness was never going to win over the egos of that jury

[@michaelnolan9416]

She probably gets Q and Maria’s vote. Beyond that there’s a lot of nami on the jury. I don’t think she had it locked down by any means but I wouldn’t completely count her out

[@EK-9vv]

@@coreyellis9211 Multiple jurors changed their vote during FTC though. Who's to say Liz wouldn't change some of their minds if she got the chance to defend her game?

[@kylegross1081]

She didn’t do anything. She was awful in challenges and didn’t have a single big move. She did whine and complain about not getting rewards so there’s that.

[@thisishaggard]

IMO Liz wouldn’t have beat any of the final 3.

[@freeloadingmf]

I feel proud of myself for clocking that Liz was probably not a millionaire despite production not showing the audience the confessionals.

[@AnthonyHernandez0808]

There is a difference between entertaining and annoying, which Liz was. Most people wanted her voted off before the jury.

[@good-questions]

I’m glad you feel proud.

[@Entertainment-os4ig]

The Nsync poster is funny af.

[@cantremember817]

Liz face turn and Maria heel turn in the final weeks was unexpected

[@user-bu6kq8hm6j]

She hit giving out a million with her last gifting.

[@Friendjacob]

Quality answers! This was a great interview

[@mightheal]

My biggest issue is what was her plan to deal with food. Out of all of the players in Survivor foraging for food would have made a lot of sense to be her primary focus due to her allergies and would have been a perfect cover to search for idols.

[@lol-ro2ef]

This explains a lot of Liz' game. I'm glad she got her chance to tell her story here but I wish she did that on live TV.

[@margereese5747]

Agree with you about it explaining some of her game. But, she says she did reveal it on the show but it was edited out.

[@GregK97]

This woman is nuts. Even Ben would’ve beat her 😂

[@Tommy0220]

I won’t be surprised she’s not actually allergic

[@astrickland897]

This!

[@ilTHfeaa]

she already stated in like confessionals what some of her “allergies” did/her symptoms and they’re not allergic reactions, they’re mostly just like sensory things i think. maybe intolerant to something but idk if she has any actual like deadly allergies. like i’m mildly allergic to kiwi and pineapple but i can still eat it.. it just makes my mouth tingle. but the thing about that is that if you have a mild allergy like that, it can become a severe one.

[@layne3530]

some peoples anxiety manifests physically and they can have phantom allergies in a sense. not quite the same thing but i grew up with a kid who his mother was nuts and insisted he had every possible allergen and grew up avoiding practically everything. once he went to college and had some freedom turned out he was barely allergic to anything at all. however growing up and being told you will die if you eat this thing meant a lot of anxiety all the time and if he would come into contact with something he was "allergic" to, he would basically have a panic attack and convince himself he couldnt breath etc. which to him meant those were "allergic" reactions.

[@runninggrease345]

@@layne3530not the same at all

[@pandorasullivan777]

Not the best strategy to try to play the millionaire. But, to each their own. Her ‘put off’ to me, was that she signed up with her food ‘allergies’, then played the victim, of not being able to eat anything. Why even sign up? Was it just a pity story and not even true? It did get her a personalized rice portion, but how fair was that to everyone else? She had a tad bit of entitlement, and self grandiosity. I see through tactics like that, and I know those ‘plays’ don’t win in life. But, I wish her the best, and I think the show will make her a better person.

[@mrsb50]

I never got the sense that her edit was wildly different from what she described in her pregame interview with Mike, so I just went back and listened. She didn’t mention or even allude to needing the money when she answered her reason for being there on two different occasions. It makes no sense to lie in pregame press! Consider me skeptical of what she’s saying now that she’s out on the other side.

[@drewbsn]

This was a logical, sane, and well thought out interview! She wasn’t my favorite on the show but maybe that was just her edit.

[@gailsammons6050]

I don’t like voting based on “need”. It should be based on how they got to the final three.

[@murasakimirisan]

Hats off to Liz for rewarding who she deemed to be the best strategic player with her vote...that's always how you'd hope a juror would be even if they feel some type of way about losing. Liz was good quality all season and true comedy gold!

[@abrahamgrigsby9300]

Liz and Q both said they think they're very similar. I don't know if that means they could do great work together or are doomed to destroy each other.

[@janegrey4374]

I don't dislike Liz. It's just that Liz is one of those people who makes you tilt your head to the side and say "Whhhhaaaatttt???"

[@26days]

i remember being so surprised when the season started because liz seemed so different during her preseason interviews. this explains a lot!! hope we get to hear more from her soon!

[@chelsibee3247]

She was literally rolling her eyes at the last tribal bc she didn't get picked, she's trying to back track so people won't hate her.

[@davidtalksbroncos]

Yeah that was terrible of her. Very self-centered

[@jackmeddling]

Is that an Applebees Bourbon Street Burger Buff?

[@pandorasullivan777]

😂

[@Gimmie1000]

i like Liz a lot more after this interview. especially with her usuing her brain to vote at the end and not her heart

[@claymate58]

My thoughts exactly. I felt pretty cringy about Liz and her strategy of playing was very odd but I have a new respect for her Knowing she voted using her brain as opposed to these sappy bitter people (maria) that vote all emotional.

[@bossjenkins5875]

She put Rob in like 3rd person at one point in this interview 😂

[@hanzsem2293]

Loved you Liz!!! You were so great. 😋

[@charliesheen17]

I love that Liz didn’t get the apple bees. Really got to show her true colors

[@brianJohnxx]

I would love to see her play again she so fun 😂

[@Mamcello]

Ben in one of his exit interviews really made me see that Liz is so Adam Sandler-coded in the best way

[@KatieQi]

Liz's energy and vibe is so bubblely and amazingly humorous! even her voice is part of the great package XD talking about the vibe, Liz has THE BEST VIBE!! definitely want to see more of you gal in future TV time! Thanks much for all the amazing contents!

[@jacobfroese3485]

Liz actually seems like a vibe, I get why she never had her name written down… she was great tv.

[@mle011]

This interview was really insightful. I have to say though, I disagree that her working with Q after her very public show of disdain for him would make the jury think she’s a flip-flopper and they can’t vote for her? I mean, wouldn’t that be a reason TO vote for her? Because she’s able to set her own personal feelings aside and do what’s best for her game? I feel like that would be a sign of a winner who is focused on the $1mil and doesn’t limit themselves to only working with people that they like.

[@ExitSiign]

Instantly iconic 😂

[@JuliaSings372]

It’s based off how you play not “who needs the money” I don’t think you would have won Liz

[@swaggery]

I really like seeing this side to her that the show never put in. I don't think her plan would have worked. Maybe at final 6 is the time to put the truth more out there. So that way whoever ends up on the jury could prime the other jury members there is more to you. That FTC is only like 20 minutes. Even if they were impressed, I feel like it would be too much of a shock in such a short amount of time to think it over, or they would have thought she was lying.

[@user-rt4ln5rw5u]

Since when is FTC only 20 minutes? FTC is usually a few hours from what I have heard. They edit out a ton of stuff.

[@swaggery]

@@user-rt4ln5rw5u Falsely assumed it was on the shorter end going be the show, and that there was a hard 30 second limit for one of the questions. Still though, nobody would be digesting what she said when they had to listen to the other players speak. So they maybe think about Liz's big reveal for maybe 10 minutes total, and have to decide if it's true and was it a worthy strategy.

[@user-rt4ln5rw5u]

@@swaggery Yea that 30-second limit was wild, never seen that before and I absolutely hated it. But it’s uncommon. But it is hard to drop bombs and flip perception of you at FTC, totally agree. I think I’ve seen one example, and that was on Australian Survivor.

[@ResettisReplicas]

I may not’ve been completely on board the Liz train, but she pulled off a damn good facade, every move had me saying “ok, I at least understand how this would be the most rational thing for Liz to do,” or “I understand why one would have that reaction in the context of a game for a million dollars where you shouldn’t care about making lifelong friends.”

Rob, Why did she put ••• on all her votes?

[@lucy_76]

Not watching cause it's Liz but just came here to say, "Booo Booo (throws tomato throws tomato)" the most obnoxious player in years. Poor sport, tried her best to manipulate but not a single person, even Jeff could stand her. Hope she fades into the background as soon as possible. Super rude to completely step on Kenzie's winning moment to steal attention YET again. Not watching, just speaking out in HOPES that she sees it to get a reality check that she is not liked as a player and should work on those nasty personality flaws of her, of which there were many. I can't imagine the even worse stuff the editors left out. She owes Kenzie a huge apology for stealing the stage during the moments after Kenzie won. If this comment gets me hate, so be it, someone has to tell her, she's clearly been coddled her whole life and people haven't been honest with her about big glaring issues.
