Warning: spoilers ahead! Venus Vafa reveals why she wasn't the biggest villain of 'Survivor 46,' and why she didn't play her idol to save herself.
Plus, the latest blindside victim to go home with an idol in her pocket reveals why she didn't save herself.Sydney Bucksbaum is a writer at Entertainment Weekly covering all things pop culture – but TV is her one true love. She currently lives in Los Angeles but grew up in Chicago so please don't make fun of her accent when it slips out.
While her social game was struggling, it seemed as if Venus was turning a corner in this week's episode. She came close to winning the immunity challenge but lost to Maria Shrime Gonzalez, and found a hidden idol but hinted to Charlie Davis that she had it. Ultimately, Charlie flipped the votes fromBelow, Venus breaks down the exact moment where her game went wrong, why Ponderosa was more"traumatizing" than the actual game, and so much more.
With Charlie, we had had enough discussions up into that point where I thought maybe, just maybe, there's something there. There's like a base level of trust and he's someone that I can actually work with to the end. So for me, it was a story of trust. I remember saying to him, "This is a huge risk, but sometimes you just need to trust a little bit and I'm willing to do that.
It's so weird. Because I remember in the moment it felt like everything was in slow motion. I don't know. It clicked in my mind that I was in danger. But then Jeff was like, "Time to read the votes," and I'm like, "Okay, well, it's too late now." I kind of just missed the mark. I had listened to my gut for so much of the season, and that had gotten me in a lot of hot water. And for the first time, I was like, "Ignore your gut, Venus. Just trust Charlie.
It is wild that Q has survived so many Tribal Councils now when he has been the "obvious vote" every time. You can see in this episode with Maria's behavior towards me, you can see some of those subconscious biases amplified in her. I'm not saying that she outright dislikes women, but there is a pattern that you start to see of her behavior towards other women that want to work with her but she just shuts them out.
