For a while it seemed like you and Alex were in control of the game. What happened?
Edgardo: The turning point was when Lisi told us where the idol is. I decided that it’s of good use only if you use it for two or three people. It’s really complicated [how you use it] this year. My whole strategy and game went to hell when Mookie told Dreamz about the idol, which I told him not to do. I don’t know why he told him – maybe he’s a little gossip queen. Dreamz has a big mouth, I knew he was going to use that info against us. That’s when Alex and I lost complete control of the game.
RNO: So why did you guys let Mookie know about the idol?
Edgardo: I was the one who told Mookie about the idol. The reason was I was looking for it before and couldn’t find it. Lisi gave us some really bad clues – I don’t know what she did on Exile Island but she didn’t read the clues. I told Alex we need to tell somebody, and the person I decided to tell was Mookie. It was lucky for us because he was digging in the right place [and I wasn’t].
RNO: In your final words, you said you hoped Cassandra would be voted off next because you didn’t like her very much. We didn’t really see anything about that on the show – why didn’t you like her?
Edgardo: The reason I didn’t like Cassandra – first of all, we haven’t seen her the whole show yet, but it is because she was using Dreamz and Stacy, playing on their weak parts and acting like Dreamz’ mom and a person that cares about Stacy. She basically wasn’t doing anything. People weren’t figuring out that she was playing the game; people were thinking that she was being stupid when she was really playing everybody. She was the link. I knew Dreamz was going to backstab us, if we voted off Cassandra, Dreamz and Stacy would have nobody to trust, so they’d go to our side.
RNO: If your plan had worked and Cassandra had been voted out, what was your plan for the rest of the game?
Edgardo: My plan was to vote Cassandra off, that would leave Yau-Man and Earl’s alliance crippled. Then Stacy and Boo would know they don’t have that alliance anymore. Since they are just playing the game to get by, we’d pull them to our side and have Mookie, me, Alex, Stacy, and Boo – we knew Dreamz was gone by then.
RNO: Is there anything else you’d like to tell us about your time on Survivor?
Edgardo: It was a great time. You get to meet a lot of insane people and really nice people. It’s just weird and you’re just wondering why you’re doing this with 18 of the craziest people. But you see what you’re made of and it was a really good experience.
wouldn'da mattered anyhoo.
Must have been inspired by all the FSers that get back up.
