Did you have any idea that was going to happen or was it a surprise in the moment?
NIKKI GARCIA:No, I was totally blindsided.
I had no idea, to tell you the truth.

I just was shocked, and I felt like I just didn’t have time to gather my thoughts.
And then of course when Chrishell spoke, I wasn’t expecting that.
How did you feel about Chrishell and Gabby betraying you like that?

Oh my gosh, it was so heartbreaking.
I wasn’t even mad.
I was actually just so sad.

That’s the feeling of betrayal.
I knew right then and there too, she just sealed my fate.
With allies like that, who needs enemies in this game?
Honestly, I get where Alan’s like, “Don’t trust anyone.”
I’m not used to being on my own.
I, at least, have my sister.
This experience was amazing, but it definitely made me realize that I am not a gamer.
Your last confessional was pretty salty, and I do not blame you at all.
What were you feeling in that moment?
Phaedra [from season 2] is a perfect example.
And she’s like, “No,” but she still protected her.
I would’ve thought maybe we would’ve had something like that.
Knowing when it’s your own girls who get you out of the game?
But I’ve seen the girls since and it’s great.
So there’s no hard feelings between the Bambis?
I went into it as a game.
What anyone was saying behind my back, I mean, it was definitely hurtful to me.
He got into her head.
Who did you think were the Traitors at the time of your banishment?
I was very much on Danielle.
But I was for sure convinced Danielle was.
Boston Rob tricked me, I couldn’t believe it.
But Danielle and Ciara at the point of my banishment are who I thought for sure were Traitors.
How do you feel about him outlasting you in the game?
He’s probably one of the most frustrating game players, as we’ve all seen.
I remember feeling that when I was there.
He just loves to talk, but there’s no point to it at the end.
It takes you in no direction.
It’s funny, I never even thought about that, but good for him for still being there.
What did you think of his sweaty pit stains that have gone viral on the internet?
It’s so funny.
I just don’t remember it in person.
So I thought that was hilarious.
Poor guy well, no, I don’t want to say poor guy, not poor guy.
He brings it all onto himself.
I never thought that until I did the show with him.
There’s a reason.
Who do you think is playing the worst game?
It’s so messy.
Who do you think is playing the best game?
He, from day one, was just so good.
