I lived those days. I was at those challenges. I was a part of this game for those 13 or so days before the merge, but like very little of that is shown,\u201d Segreti said. <\/p>\n<p>Sophie Segreti in her interview with The Post. New York Post<\/p>\n<p>Sophie Segreti on \u201cSurvivor 49.\u201d Robert Voets\/CBS<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAnd so it almost feels a little bit like you\u2019re being erased,\u201d she continued. \u201cYou see things online and people being like, \u2018There\u2019s another Sophie? What\u2019s going on?\u2019 And it really makes you question like, \u2018Was I actually a part of 49? Did I play the game?&#8217;\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Segreti pointed out that since the contestants can\u2019t document their time on the show themselves, they\u2019re stuck \u201crelying on the edit\u201d to confirm everything they saw and heard. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cAnd when it doesn\u2019t, it\u2019s extremely upsetting,\u201d she shared. \u201cSo I was super bummed to not get airtime early on.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Sophie Segreti on \u201cSurvivor\u201d Season 49. Robert Voets\/CBS<\/p>\n<p>But the New Yorker acknowledged that being on undefeated tribes until the merge didn\u2019t help her case. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cPart of it, of course, is logistics,\u201d she said. \u201cWhen your team is winning and you\u2019re not going to tribal, that\u2019s a big part of the episode that you\u2019re just not a part of. But I will say, that was tough.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Sophie Segreti competing in a challenge on \u201cSurvivor 49.\u201d Robert Voets\/CBS<\/p>\n<p>Sophie Segreti on \u201cSurvivor 49.\u201d Robert Voets\/CBS<\/p>\n<p>Luckily, Segreti got to shine in the second half of the season, where she won two individual immunity challenges and participated in multiple savage blindsides.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI am so happy that I\u2019ve gotten to have my little moment in the sun and my emergence and coming out party in the immunity challenge,\u201d she gushed. \u201cI feel like it was fun to have people want more of me than get sick of me. So I will maybe take that as a net positive in the end \u2014 but distressing while it\u2019s happening.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSurvivor 49\u201d star Sophie Segreti during an individual immunity challenge.

I would play again simply to compete and do those challenges again,\u201d she explained. \u201cAlso because I\u2019m like, damn, the no eating, no salt, no alcohol skin routine is really working for me. How do I get that back? I can\u2019t recreate that in New York City. Yes, I would love to play again.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSurvivor\u201d airs Wednesdays at 8 pm ET on CBS and streams on Paramount+.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Sophie Segreti got gaslit by \u201cSurvivor.\u201d After being voted off on the latest episode of \u201cSurvivor 49,\u201d the&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":330664,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[54],"tags":[88,186,5657,5658,604,2355,1505,92],"class_list":{"0":"post-330663","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-tv","8":"tag-entertainment","9":"tag-exclusive","10":"tag-reality-show","11":"tag-reality-stars","12":"tag-reality-tv","13":"tag-survivor","14":"tag-television","15":"tag-tv"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/330663","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=330663"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/330663\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/330664"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=330663"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=330663"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=330663"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
