Natalie Girl Power

Natalie expresses the frustration of being 'duped' when her close friend and ally, Alexis, was blindsided and voted out of the game.

"We got back from Tribal last night. I was stunned by the Alexis move. I was stunned she was no longer on the boat ride home. I was stunned she wasn't entering camp. Hurt? No, I assumed it was me or her, she or I, coming down the wire at some point. It just kind of slapped me in the face. The bigger deal for me was getting duped. I'm not a sucker. I got suckered last night. I got chumped. That was my deal. That's what I was a little bit miffed about, heated about. I got my stuff and slept on the boat, had a great night, had a great night of sleep by myself. Nobody joined me, which was fine. Didn't sweat it at all. Gave me time to look at the stars. I was actually able to look at the stars outside of a cave, not in a muggy cave with bugs. I was able to think. I was able to strategize. As exhausted as I am, just to be able to sit by myself, in Micronesia by myself. That was probably one of the first times I've been by myself. That's another thing that works on my nerves, you're never by yourself. When you are by yourself, you see people scurrying, you don't know what they're talking about, you don't know what they're planning. Even if you are by yourself walking down a path you see people walk by and you know very well you're the person they're talking about. Last night was actually very peaceful for me."

"It's not very difficult to say we're gonna gather a group of girls and ride or die to the end. No, because women are the smarter gender in my opinion. I'm not a super-feminist, I'll let you open my door, buy me dinner, it's all good. Women have a manipulation and an emotional vengeance about them that can drive them mentally that I don't think men have. It's not necessarily a smarter vs not smarter gender, it's an emotional stick it to you that drives a woman's thought process, which gives a woman possibly the upper hand. Do I think it's impossible to get 5 women together to stick it out to the end? No."

"Do I think outside my vision, it's impossible for women to get along? 100% I love women. I would love to have women on my side. I've got some girlfriends at home that are my lifeline, we bounce off each other and support each other. If women could do that, they could rule the world, because women have so much power. They have sexual power, they have intellectual power, they have the underdog feeling power. There are so many different elements to a woman, so many different layers, where women are so powerful. If they would stick together, and that's where they're idiots. That's where we're all stupid. Looking through my eyes? Absolutely. Through normal people in the world, normal women? Women are so competitive, so catty, and not smart enough to think big picture, and that's what's proved itself here in this game."
