The Tuku and Lavo tribes joined forces to take out a Gata member with disgruntled Gata afterthoughtAndy Ruedajoining them.
How did it go so wrong so fast for Sierra?
How much does she blame Andy for her dismissal?

And why was she so emotional after her exit?
We caught up with the first jury member to ask all that and more.
I’m like, “This is just a wild out of mind experience.”

What’s going on?
And then I heard mine.
And when you hear your name, you’re like, Ouch.

And then here we are.
What did you think was going to happen on the revote?
So I thought Sam was going.

I’m like, Listen, I have a vote.
I’m voting on the revote which was an incredible wild thing itself.
So I’m like, Oh, Sam’s out of here.

I’ve got my people I built core alliances with thinking Teeny.
I was even thinking Sol.
I didn’t realize Sol was kind of against me at that time.

So that was also a shock.
But I felt so good and I was like, I guess Sam’s going home.
And Sam did too.
Sam whispered to me.
He said, Good luck in the rest of the game.
He thought he was out.
So I was certain it was going to be Sam, especially with me voting on the revote.

Which person voting you out surprised or hurt you the most?
But at that point, I guess she realized she didn’t have the numbers.
But I would say that would’ve been the most hurtful.
I got my answers on the side from people.
Kyle’s main topic was You were the glue between Rachel and Sam.
They were constantly coming to you, bringing you information.
I wanted them to split up.
I wanted them as two vulnerable individuals.
So that was Kyle’s explanation.
We heard some tears creeping in there during your final words.
What happened after the cameras cut off there in terms of what you were feeling and doing?
So initially, I was pissed.
I’m just purely pissed, angry, frustrated.
And then when I walk off, it just hits you.
And I felt like my game just got going.
I’m proud of it.
And walking away I’m like, I feel like I won.
So I feel really, really good with it.
But it was just all those emotions being like, What’s my family going to think?
How did this happen?
I mean, proud to be a part of the jury, but then so many different emotions.
So Andy was giving himself a lot of props for taking you down.
What do you make of that?
But as far as taking responsibility with it, I would say he was the one pushing for me.
But I would just say, yeah, it was his choice.
It was in his ballpark and he got the home run, so he sure did win.
I assumed that was because they got screwed on the auction items that they picked.
They did, and they both haven’t eaten at all.
Gabe didn’t have the barbecue reward, the merge feast, none of that.
And I felt like I didn’t have that connection with Tuku members yet.
So I was like, Let me attempt to build different alliances.
And I felt pretty good with Andy.
I was like, He’s not going to turn on me.
I’m not sharing chocolate with him.
He got food already.
So who is responsible for you sitting here talking to me?
Was it Andy or was it Lavo deciding to side with Tuku?
I would say Andy is 100 percent responsible for me sitting here today.
Looking back, you hear Genevieve and Caroline, they’re tossing out Rachel’s name.
And I know Andy was the one who was like, Sierra.
He wanted to keep Sam because he felt like it was better for his game.
It was a closer alliance to him.
So it was just Andy going around.
Why is it Sierra?
We’ll drag him along a little longer and then the person saying that gets voted out.
It’s so cringey.
I’m like, dammit!
I mean, yeah, it makes you look stupid.
You’re like, Oh he played me, he got me.
I’m sure as hell not worried about him.
And lo and behold, he was the one to be worried about.
I’m screaming at the TV, Sierra!
I don’t have that answer, Dalton.
I wanted so many different items!
I’m like, Why did I freaking choose $800?
I think I was just that eager.
I was craving that, I said it, and then it was like I manifested it.
I got so excited, but did not think about the numbers.
I’m not a freaking numbers girl.
I’ll be the first one to say it over and over.
So I don’t know.
How buzzed did you get off that margarita?
I was pretty buzzed.
I was really, really excited.
It was a really good margarita.
I’m a picky margarita girl and that was a fire margarita.
Sheclearly was very upsetwhen she left Tribal Council.
This is a great question and topic.
I thought we were good.
We talked it through.
So I think she got a little mixed vibes of whether I was being truthful or not.
I stuck with Sam for a reason.
They didn’t show that Sam and I formed with this close alliance on night one.
I feel like we’re really missing some good core bonding time.
And that was where we established this sense of trust.
I didn’t feel that way with anybody else out there.
It was just like, got it.
But then I felt differently about others.
I found a great bond with Anika.
I found a great bond with Sam, but it was simply, I was in a tough situation.
I’m such a vibes person and I’m like, They are really tight, those girls.
I don’t think it showed how much I genuinely did have a great connection with Andy.
And I felt like I was hallucinating.
He could not see what I was seeing.
And I’m like, Oh, I think it’s a lime right there.
And I’m trying to explain to Andy for the longest time what I’m seeing.
And he’s like, Sierra, I have no idea what you’re talking about!
So anyway, we had this bonding moment.
You see a lot of me being like, Andy’s a sloppy player.
Andy’s this, Andy’s that.
But ultimately, Andy and I, we had a great relationship.
And I’m like, Let me help you.
I stop what I’m doing and I’m like, Let’s make a run at look together.
But then I didn’t share my chocolate with him and that kind of bit me in the ass.
But we had a much closer relationship I thought out there than was shown.
