“Survivor Live” returns this week with host Jeff Schroeder and the latest castaway voted off Survivor, Val Collins, to discuss her time, albeit brief, on Blood Vs Water.
Jeff gets right to the first topic of that Exile Island challenge where Val’s husband, Jeremy, immediately volunteered to get involved. Val was pretty sure she was about to get dragged in to the competition considering the theme, but she doesn’t hold it against Jeremy.
Val might have the best way to describe Coyopa as they discuss the group’s decision to let massive John Rocker compete in the nimble, agile Exile challenge: “we were a hot mess.” Ego overrode smart decisions for their tribe while everyone wanted to prove themselves to the group.
As for the Sumo wrestling challenge this past week, Val confirms that the combination of players was self-determined and only restricted by being the same sex. Apparently there were arguments within Coyopa on whether or not they should go against their loved ones. Considering Coyopa’s only loved-one win was when Missy took a fall for Baylor that turned out to not be a very good choice for them.
Also interesting is the Sumo challenge was actually a best-out-of and each pair actually had three rounds in them. Jeff says the full clips are available on CBS.com so I might have to go digging for those.
Check out Val’s full “Survivor Live” interview video with Jeff below and hear what else she had to say about her time on Survivor and that “hot mess” of a Coyopa tribe.
