Originally appeared on E! Online<\/a><\/p>\n

There was more bad blood than met the eye.<\/p>\n

As it turns out, Survivor 50<\/a> contestant Charlie Davis may have been wrong to assume that fellow castaway Rizo Velovic\u2014who returned to the milestone season less than two weeks after completing season 49\u2014was without any alliances on the islands of Fiji.<\/p>\n

Indeed, the self-professed Taylor Swift<\/a> fan revealed that Rizo\u2019s season 49 ally Sophi Balerdi may have connected him with season 45 winner Dee Valladares before filming.<\/p>\n

\u201cI know Dee had a FaceTime before the season with Rizo, this is what I heard,\u201d Charlie told Page Six<\/a> in an interview published March 26. \u201cI think [they met] through Soph because they’re both in Miami.\u201d<\/p>\n

And the 28-year-old alleged that Rizo\u2019s pre-game connection may have \u201cplayed into\u201d alliances within their tribe.<\/p>\n

\u201cIf I were Dee,\u201d he continued, \u201cI’d be like, \u2018Oh, wow. I have this pre-game relationship with Rizo and no one else has that because no one else would have any way of getting in touch with him or knowing he was on 50.\u2019\u201d <\/p>\n

More from E! Online<\/p>\n

In recent episodes, Charlie had been gunning to target Rizo after learning that the RizGod had not voted for Sophi to win season 49. Ultimately, though, Dee and Rizo, alongside tribemates Cirie Fields and Kamilla Karthigesu, blindsided Charlie by voting him out during the March 25 episode.<\/p>\n

However, despite their contentious division, Charlie admitted there is not any real bad blood with Rizo. <\/p>\n

\u201cObviously based off what people have seen, they’re like, \u2018Oh, man, you must hate this Rizo’s guy’s guts,\u2019\u201d he told Entertainment Weekly<\/a> in an interview published March 26. \u201cBut I was like, \u2018No, I don’t. I don’t hate Rizo.\u2019 I mean, maybe out there I had some island beef with him, but even on the island we shared some fun moments and good moments of connection.\u201d<\/p>\n

Charlie concluded, \u201cSo no, I don’t have hatred towards Rizo. But it was definitely funny watching.\u201d<\/p>\n

E! News has reached out to reps for Rizo and Dee for comment and hasn\u2019t heard back.<\/p>\n
