Another contestant bit the dust this week on Episode 2 of Survivor, in another unanimous vote. As another contestant mentioned this week, “Strong isn’t always what you need,” but ultimately the tribe went with strength over loyalty when they trimmed their tribe by one.

The game was cut short for Simone Nguyen, the 25-year-old Diversity Advocate from Massachusetts. Placed on the Hustlers tribe, we barely saw or heard from her at all during the season’s Premiere Episode, but we got some time with her during Episode 2. Simone appeared to be a soft-spoken and intelligent player, but one that just wasn’t cut out for the game of Survivor. She was shown swatting away bugs, and mentioned over and over that she had never even been camping a day in her life. Still, she was determined to break-out of her comfort zone, and even as her teammate Ali told her, it was clear that she was really trying to put herself out there, like when she volunteered and successfully gutted a fish.
But Simone was the weakest link at challenges and also the easy target this week. It came down to getting rid of her, or the eccentric clown Patrick, but ultimately Ali and the others decided to keep Patrick around, sending Simone out of the game just six days in.
I had the chance to speak to Simone on the FilmSurvivor Podcast (the full audio of which you can find and download at the bottom of this article). But here were some highlights:
SIMONE NGUYEN INTERVIEW:
On the relationship between Ali and Patrick and why Ali may have chose to vote Simone out instead:
Simone Nguyen: So Patrick and Ali were neighbors from college, like, they weren’t best friends or anything like that, but I think it’s a lot easier to trust somebody that you’ve known for six years versus six days…but they knew each other. And I think that small grain of trust was enough.
On the budding bro-mance between Ryan and Devon:
Simone: It was not secret. Ryan was so loved by every single person on this tribe. Even me, like, I wasn’t trying to be charmed by him, but even I found him funny…this little guy was just charming the heck out of us…I told myself, this person is a threat…I was thinking Ryan was the biggest social threat.
On who she thinks has the worst chance of winning the game of her fellow Hustler Tribe mates:
Simone: I’d say Lauren, but not for the reasons you think. It’s not because she’s an outsider. It takes so long to earn her trust and when you earn her trust, like, you have it forever. So because of that, I don’t think she’d be able to see a betrayal coming. Lauren is like an old-school player and would stay loyal to you given anything, and I think Ali, Ali is more cutthroat and would do anything she needed to do to win.
