The Game Changers champ says “Rob would rather get beat by a man than a woman.”
She wanted to either shoot or get shot by her partner.
Unfortunately for Sarah Lacina, she’s the one who got shot.

It was a super emotional exit for one of the greatest players inSurvivorhistory.
But why was Sarah so eager to go to fire?
How does she think she would have done with the jury had she beaten Tony?
ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY:What’s going on, Lacina?
SARAH LACINA:Well, it’s an honor that I’ve come into the last name club.
So I’m glad that you took that upon yourself.
I didn’t have to correct you.
So, nice job, Dalton.
How do you do with the jury if you beat Tony at fire?
The only way I had a shot at winning the game was to beat Tony at fire.
I knew what I was doing, but it was not being perceived as a big play.
So at this point I’m already having to start campaigning for a win.
But the problem is, final six is day 36.
You’ve got three days to go.
And I was realizing that it was maybe too little too late.
So at that point I knew that I have to make fire.
So there’s no way we could have sat in the end together.
Yeah, I definitely think I have a shot at beating Natalie.
She flat out said at the final four, she doesn’t feel confident in making fire.
And she had to come in and play the perfect game.
Well, she didn’t survive a single Tribal Council without safety.
Everybody talks about how awful and boring the Edge is.
Instead you left that for me to take.
Obviously, Tony did beat you in fire.
Tell me about what was going on and what you were feeling in that moment?
What were you feeling, Sarah?
Tony and I started our friendship seven years ago duringCagayan.
Let’s be loyal to each other.
Let’s have each other’s back, and that’s what we did.
And it was a very tough season.
Everybody out there is much older.
The majority of people have families now.
And that was no longer a possibility.
We just took $2 million from the other person.
Let’s talk about your big speech at the final six about the gender bias.
And when I’m sitting in the final three, you oughta vote for me."
And this was verified after the season.
It’s really not fair.
But I guarantee you, he would havenevervoted for me.
So that’s where that speech starts coming from.
When Dom and Wendell played, they split credit that entire season ofGhost Island.
What did Dom and Wendell do different than what Tony and I did?
But why don’t we get the split credit?
He played a great game.
He won four immunities.
It’s not a final two.
It’s a final three.
And I can beat Tony in a final three if we’re sitting there with the right people.
I guess the reputation that they have really disappointed me that they would behave that way.
That was pretty calculated, right?
Oh, 100 percent.
If I sit at the end at 39, look, I’ve been on a jury.
So when you’re giving your speech on day 39, it’s too late.
And so I knew I have got to start now.
So I figured, so does everybody else.
But clearly that’s not the case.
In three seasons I’ve been voted out one time.
I didn’t get voted out this season, Tony took me out in fire making.
But again, it doesn’t matter becauseSurvivor’s not my identity either.
What are some things you wish we could have seen that didn’t make it into an episode?
Tony had saved his paperwork from his immunity idol.
And then made another one.
So I got that from him after he won immunity.
I acted like I was trying to hide something in my bag in front of Natalie and Michele.
And they were like, “What are you doing, or what’s that?”
I was like, “Oh, clumsy me.
I just accidentally showed you this idol I have.”
And then I show them the paperwork and whatnot.
She told me earlier on in the day that it would be Michele and Tony.
She said basically, “If Michelle makes fire, it’s no big deal.
She thinks that she could beat me.
But if I made fire against Tony, then I could maybe beat her.
So then why would you have me and Tony make fire?
It makes no sense.
Well, Michele was having a heck of a time and crying and had freaked out Natalie and whatnot.
Michele’s not in the head space, she can’t do it.”
I’m like, “Do you think you might do it?”
And she’s like, “No.”
And I just told her, “I can do it, 100%.
I can beat him.
I’ve been making fire next to him all day.
I could beat him.”
Because if Tony and I sit in together at the end.
It turns into like an election where you’ve got a Democrat and a Republican running.
And that would have happened with Tony and I.
You probably would have seen Natalie win had Tony and Michele made fire and Tony beat Michele in fire.
So that was another move that I wish I would have gotten shown.
