This week on Survivor 2013 Caramoan, we said goodbye to Malcolm Freberg a week after an epic Tribal Council move.
Following his elimination, he sat down for his Survivor exit interview and we’ve got that for you below. He’s also hit the interview circuit and he gave some good answers to some burning questions to the Hollywood Reporter. And they come after he had time to let the whole game and experience sink in.
We all saw him and the other amigos working Erik and Sherri, so a lot of fans were surprised that they didn’t vote with the guys. Was Malcolm? According to his THR interview, not really.
“I had no faith in Erik whatsoever,” Malcolm said. “I thought I had a decent shot that Sherri would flip. I really thought it was in her best interests to come along with us. I told her I’d go to the end with her, and that was true in that moment. But I didn’t realize how much she hated Eddie and Reynold; I had no idea about the loathing that went back to day four with those guys.”
And what about that insane Tribal Council where he played two immunity idols, saving himself and Eddie from an almost definite elimination.
“It wasn’t supposed to go like that,” Malcolm explained. “The plan was to get away with playing neither, and get Phillip voted out, and me and Eddie not playing the idol. The worst-case scenario was that we played both idols. But then Erik called it and got everyone to switch their votes back to me and Eddie, and we were forced to play it. The plan was not to give up the idols. I still think that plan was good.”
