Stacey's Final Words
I hear that those guys had to hike back in the thunder, lightning and the torrential rain, which I'm pretty happy about, because I'm really pissed off that they voted me off. They kicked off their bug-eating hero instead of their food stealing, stumbling, ornery old Navy Seal. I don't know how I feel about that.
I think Rudy pulled a brilliant political move with his little ageism speech. I think he got a couple of guilt votes that way. Sean probably would have been the swing vote. I think Rudy pulled Sue over to his side. She's an interesting character. Before the first vote too, Kelly and I spoke about who we were going to vote off. She was really strongly against Rudy, because we wanted to keep Sonja around. We thought we could keep a woman majority and probably keep a balance of power that way. Sue told me one thing then did another and she did the exact same thing on the last vote. She told me she was going to vote Rudy off and she voted against me when the vote came out. I turned to her and said," You changed your vote again Sue. "Then I walked away. It will be interesting to see how Sue's dynamic plays out for the rest of the show.
I think largely the reason I was voted off was because the group feels physical strength is the most important quality to win the immunity challenges, which I completely disagree with. The fact is they don't know how strong I really am, because they are all so busy proving their own strength. I don't think they really value mental strength in that camp yet. I think the contributions I made for the camp are more quiet contributions. I think I probably came off as shy, which is rare for me. I've never been in such a magnanimous group before.
