I would have beat all of you.
How does Liz now think she would have done had she made it to the end?
Why did she vote for Charlie to win?

We talked about all of that and more over an imaginary plate of Applebees.
CBS
ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY: Lets start with your vote.
Why did you vote for Charlie to winSurvivor 46?
Liz Wilcox on ‘Survivor 46’.CBS
LIZ WILCOX:I voted for Charlie because of his move at final seven.
Kenzie, and I really wanted to keep Venus.
Kenzie and I wanted to be in the final three together with Venus.
Liz Wilcox on ‘Survivor 46’.CBS
And I thought, Oh snap.
Yeah, you actually did that.
And I got played, my darling.
Liz Wilcox, Charlie Davis, and Kenzie Petty on ‘Survivor 46’.CBS
I got played, and so that’s why I voted for Charlie.
After talking to the jurors, do you still feel that way?
I want to say that when I talked to the jury about this, I was still very upset.
Robert Voets/CBS
That’s all I’ll say.
And so I was really not being heard.
And to this day, I haven’t really been given an opportunity to explain myself too much.
But yeah, I do still think I could sway some people.
Would I have won?
I don’t know.
And I’m not one to speculate, but I do believe that I had things to say.
I want to be wowed and I want to be impressed.
So hit me with your speech to the jury.
What were you going to say if you’d gotten there?
Yeah, so before we hit record, Dalton said, Liz, my favoriteSurvivorweirdo.
I knew that I wasn’t going to go in there and have a go at blend in.
That was something I talked about in the casting process.
And I knew that people tend to dismiss me.
Very similar to Ben’s story, I’ve always been the clown for the party.
And so I did.
Instead of trying to hide my wealth, I actually exaggerated it.
I’m not a millionaire, or rumored billionaire, sorry to break your hearts.
I’m just a single mom.
And I really think making that move of saying I was a millionaire really did disarm people.
There’s no way she’s lying to us when really I actually was.
And the second biggest thing I think was actually the Tevin vote.
And it might seem like, Oh, that was a million years ago.
I did that very much on purpose.
It was very intentional to get rid of Tevin so early.
I make a move really quick and then I kind of go under the radar.
You forget about me.
She’s not part of the secret six and Tevin was.
I’m going to vote however you want.
And so I said, well, contract null and void, you’re out of here.
So Maria came up to me, Hey Liz, remember when you said that?
Now’s the time, let’s get out Tiff.
Oh yeah, she did do that.
She did exactly what she said.
She went to the back of the bus and she helped me drive my vote.
Listen, I’m nothing if not a creative being.
I’m not a visual learner.
So puzzles are actually really hard for me to see and to understand.
And then I noticed that it was saying something about geckos, And so I started counting the geckos.
If you go and rewatch, you might see that Liz isn’t actually trying to solve the puzzle.
I’m actually counting and I’m whispering to Kenzie “36, 36, 36.”
And I’m double counting and I’m triple counting for her.
And she’s like, What is it?
And so I was like, Oh, plank holes!
Another point for FTC.
What was your reaction to your own Applebee’s explosion after it happened?
Both out there and then watching it back on TV?
I breathed a sigh of relief.
I was like: Wow, I’ve never done that before.
I’ve never really just lost it.
And I was like, Thanks guys.
Wow, I’m not dead!
And I think that’s what a lot of people are missing is, yeah, I lost it.
You were the one to actually do it.
I wish I could be so brave to lose it.
We knew it was going to be a moment.
We were like, this is the biggest, craziest, wildest moment in maybe 10 years or so.
And so we had so much fun laughing about it.
But it was really hard to see my daughter so upset.
She was really upset, and I said, Well look, mom’s right here.
I’m actually just fine.
And I didn’t starve to death.
I just lost it for a second.
So about the pooping?
Was it just aone-time thingor were there follow up sessions?
And I’m like: I know something’s coming.
I made a joke about Now I’m in the game!
Did you guys really buy that?
It was like, oh my gosh!
Whathappened to your shoe?
And I woke up and there was only one, and the one was just fine.
I looked and looked and looked and looked.
I really wish they would’ve shown that I was purposely exaggerating my wealth.
I feel like that would’ve been pretty epic, but what are you going to do?
Finally, how much Applebee’s have you eaten since you got back?
A s— ton.
