Episode #14: The Final Two

[Host Sandy]

Christina + Kenyon
Lasted till Day 39
Mekong Tribe

Christina was the one to look our for in Cambodia. Her ability to quickly adapt to each curveball thrown her way led to success in iSurv1vor. She was the only castaway to Outwit, Outplay, and Outlast the rest. See what's on the winners mind when she visits our studios!




Kenyon was the first Outcast to ever re-enter the game. He avoided being voted out again by placing the target on the backs of other people. See what Kenyon has to say about his second chance, and his runner-up status.

[Host Sandy]

Host Sandy: Welcome to iSurv1vor Live! Christina!

Christina: thanks Sandy its an honor to be interviewed by you!

Host Sandy: So I need to know, how does it feel being the new winner of iSurv1vor?

Christina: its overwhelming. Going from the underdog who no one expected to make it to the merge much less the winner, to actually winning my first ORG game, it's indescribable.

Host Sandy: Thats great. You were a great character in Camodia. Your win is completely deserved. What did you think of them, how was your experience?

Christina: my experience was amazing. I went into the game with a strategy: to play cold-hearted, because in Survivor you'll have to backstab, lie and tell half-truths to get far. It definitely isn't a friendly game, but I was still able to make some cool friends (Kenyon, KJ, Michelle, Taylor & Kyle) to name a few

Host Sandy: Thanks I'm not your friend. Haha.

Christina: you're more than a friend

Host Sandy: It's great you made friends in the game. That's always a plus. What was a top highlight in the game, besides winning of course?

Christina: probably showing everyone that I actually do have the talent to win this game, that I wasn't someone who rode coattails, played it safe, or let my emotions rule me to an early exit

Host Sandy: Well said! So lets think back.. What was it like being selected and starting the game off on the all female tribe?

Christina: it was horrible and I think you all did that just so you could get me out early. I've always been better with guys, so on a tribe of all girls (not to mention the fact that half the girls had a premade alliance from Facebook), I knew I had my back against the wall day one

Host Sandy: You're right. We wanted you gone first, totally didn't work. And getting kidnapped, how was that? What did you think of the twist?

Christina: My kidnapping was my savior in the game. Being sent to the men's camp was the best thing for me, because it allowed my true strategy (flirting to the nth degree) to fully be played, and I played it hard

Host Sandy: How much of your game was based on flirting, and did it work? In your opinion..

Christina: in my opinion, my flirting was (at first) the majority of my strategy, because it allowed me to get into the inner sanctum of the strong all-male alliance of Taylor, Aroh, Kenyon and Travis, it worked perfectly because, hey, I won! after a while I dropped the flirting and concentrated on my second phase of the game: being utterly ruthless...cutting friends adrift when I felt threatened (Taylor), causing fights with former allies (Darcy), and kicking butt in immunities

Host Sandy: Haha so you adapted. Very well. Yeah you won two of them individually. How did winning feel?

Christina: winning felt incredible, knowing absolutely I was safe and I could do whatever I wanted was amazing, that's why I orchistrated Taylor's ouster

Host Sandy: That was one of your shining moments, tell me a little bit about the events leading up to his ouster..

Christina: well before I won immunity we were planning on voting KJ out, but I didn't want to because I liked KJ. After I won immunity, Taylor thought the plan was still intact, but being a bit bold and confident I told him I was voting Darcy (his strong ally) out instead, which left him scrambling like a chicken with his head cut off. Being told I had a special prize, it played to my advantage as well, so I could also protect my strongest ally (Kenyon) by lying to Taylor and telling him the prize was a secret second immunity that I gave to Kenyon. when Taylor said he was gonna vote for Kenyon anyway, I didn't want it to be a tie somehow, so I told Taylor that me and Darcy made up, and I was all for voting KJ out again

Christina: I even sent him a fake tribal council where I supposedly wrote KJ's name down to 'prove' that I voted for her

Host Sandy: Haha thats pretty elaborate. Thats awesome strategy. haha. Well played.

Christina: thanks

Host Sandy: What did you think of your fellow cast memebers? Any of them you wish you didn't play with? Who was your fav?

Christina: the only people I wish I didn't play with was, nothing personal, but Aroh and Travis. They were two of my strongest allies going into the merge, and when Kenyon was voted out, I was relying on them to come up with a different plan. Instead they bailed, and everyone expected me to bail too, but it just re-ignited my desire to win it. Also Von, because he really didn't do too much, and I almost forgot he was even playing the game.

Host Sandy: I will admitt Von was a mistake. Sorry Von - you were man.

Christina: he was just in the process of moving to another country.

Host Sandy: What was being parters with Taylor like? The infamous Mekong King...

Christina: the "Mekong King," a.k.a. "King of Fools," () was an interesting partner. He was pretty much sheltering me without even trying with his outlandish personality and thingyy attitude. Everyone was so focused on his antics that it allowed me to squeak by almost unnoticed to the merge.

Host Sandy: I think you're right about that. I was placing bets on when Taylor was going to be voted out - just because of how he was playing. But he did well for himself.

Christina: he did do well, until I decided his time was up, then it was buh bye King...time for the Queen to rule

Host Sandy: Haha, basically. Tell me a bit about your relationship with Kenyon.

Christina: well at first it was all flirting as strategy for me. He was just another hot guy I could use to my advantage, but once we merged, and everything happened with Aroh and Travis, me and Kenyon became more than just flirting partners...we became real partners, and he was the only person in the game who I knew would never backstab me or vote me out, and I wouldn't do it to him. If there was anyone in the game I would've been proud to lose to, it would've been him. He's one of my best online friends, and I hope to continue that relationship for a long time to come

Host Sandy: That's like a love story. I'm glad iSurv1vor has impacted peoples lives like this. At least..their online life.

Christina: too bad some people can't differentiate between online life and real life

Host Sandy: Are you trying to hint at something?

Christina: noooooooooo of course not

Host Sandy: Well since you won't open I'm gonna come right out and ask it! Tell about your wonderful friendship with Darcy?

Christina: Darcy...who's Darcy? OHHHHHHHH that Darcy! Well starting out we were forced into an alliance because it was the non-Facebookers vs the Facebookers, but I knew the moment I could leap out of that alliance I would take it. When I voted out her bff Jia, she unleashed her torrent of rage to me, expecting it to razzle me or hurt my feelings, when it only made me laugh and feel sorry for her. In the end, she wasn't a happy, nice person, she was miserable, and made everyone else miserable...she says she's happy in real life, but since she can't differentiate between the two, I think she's living in a self-delusional world.

Host Sandy: Self-delusional world. Can I use that?

Christina: of course

Host Sandy: How did it feel to win the catfight between you and her?

Christina: it felt great. I didn't care when I went, just as long as it was after her. It was almost poetic to see her torch get snuffed, I couldn't have been happier, and the camp was definitely a lot lighter with her gone.

Host Sandy: What was your lowest moment in the game?

Christina: lowest moment was when Kenyon was voted out, then Aroh and Travis quit, effectively leaving me without an alliance to rely upon...but I quickly rebounded, 'reunited' wtih Taylor, and struck up a friendship (real one) with KJ and Michelle, then Kenyon came back, and I had more allies once again

Host Sandy: So since you have WON this game, I'm pretty sure your advice should be taken over any of the other castaways advice in their interviews... give some advice to future players of the game?

Christina: don't allow your emotions to rule your judgment. If you got an ally who's a bigger threat than you, get rid of them, and don't look back. Always be flexible and open to new alliances, don't stay rigidly set in your one alliance, because you never know when you'll need a backup.

Host Sandy: Tell me a bit about the final tc. Were u surprised to get some of the jury votes from Casey, Keisha, Taylor, or Michelle?

Christina: I was very surprised to get a vote from Taylor and Casey. I figured Taylor (like some other jurors), would be so clouded by their own hatred and insecurities that they would vote for Kenyon just so they wouldn't vote for me. I figured Casey would just go along with Taylor, and I never expected his vote since I voted him out, but both of them showed their true Survivor-ish skills by looking past personal petty differences and voted for the better strategic player, not that Kenyon wasn't one. Michelle and Keisha I knew I had their votes because they didn't care about personal things either, they both rock my socks off. I knew no matter how logical my answer for Darcy was (which it was extremely logical), she would never vote for me because she's petty and probably still has insecurities stemming from high school with girls who were prettier than her. once again, I was right.

Host Sandy: Haha. Well, regardless of Darcy not voting for you, you still won enough jurors over.

Christina: just barely, which shows both Kenyon and I deserved to be there

Host Sandy: Yes it does.

Christina: closest win in isurv1vor history

Host Sandy: Yes it was.

Host Sandy: What other two people in the game, would you want in the final two besides yourself? And who would you vote for to win?

Christina: I would've loved to have seen Keisha and Kyle in the finals. Keisha was always the hip cool chick I loved, and even though she didn't believe me earlier on, I really did want to try to save her, because I knew Darcy was waiting to dig her claws into her back. Kyle is just sweet, kindhearted, and deserved to go farther than he did. If I had to chose a winner there, I'd go with Keisha (gotta stay with the girl power!)

Host Sandy: Aw, I love Keisha. Good choice!

Christina: I do too, I hope she knows that.

Host Sandy: Well now she does haha.

Christina: I hope everyone knows I harbor no ill feelings...it was just a game...nothing personal, just business.

Host Sandy: Same here. The Alumni forum was just business! What did you think of the inner workings of iSurv1vor?

Christina: I think isurv1vor wouldn't be as successful without that intricate inner workings that so beautifully blend together to bring forth a wonderful product.

Host Sandy: How was reading each persons confessional?

Christina: LAME! Come on people! I expected some more grit, some more hatred towards me! There was hardly anything! I was gonna play a drinking game where I would drink everytime I saw something negative about me, and at the end of it all I didn't even have a buzz!
Christina: and I wanna set the record straight about Kenyon's titled "Christina is a W H O R E"...a sleeper does it for money, a very *friendly* person (me ) does it for fre
e
Host Sandy: LMAO! Ur amazing. Anything else you want to add before we wrap this up champ?

Christina: I just want to tell you personally that you've been an amazing, terrific, fantastic friend to me and without you I wouldn't have put as much effort into this game than I have.

Host Sandy: Aw. I appreciate you and everything you've done in this game. Cambodia goes down as one of my favortie seasons, decent cast, great jury, amazing final two, and deserving winner.

Christina: awwwwwwwwwwww thanks!

Host Sandy: This goes down as YOUR season...rock it proudly.

Christina: oh im rockin it like a rock n roll band, that made no sense lol

Host Sandy: LMAO loves it.

Christina: well, as long as you love it...yay!

Without even trying? I was trying my hardest to make sure you WERE safe. I wanted u in the merge.. duhh.. lol



"Christina: I even sent him a fake tribal council where I supposedly wrote KJ's name down to 'prove' that I voted for her"

I thought of that before, but I told myself that I wouldnt go that low just to make it past another round lol. Im not as big of a scumbag as people made me out to be. Dan is the only person in the game that I backstabbed, and it was because he was allied to everyone in the game.

[Casey]

Yeah Christina. I thought you played a much better game then Kenyon. Though you utterly backstabbed me, You used it to your strategy unlike Kenyon. He just talked about me.

[Kenyon]

oh precious casey... how do you know what kind of a game I played? Were you in my head?
