The latest victim also explains why she didn’t use the idol to save herself.
Sabiyah Broderick thought she was safe.
And it would have worked too.

Why did she flip on Kaleb so early?
Did she seriously consider using the idol?
And how long did it take that wax to melt off anyway?

SABIYAH BRODERICK:It took the whole time we waited.
Because we kept looking out the corner of our eye and it was really a big spectacle.

So I would say probably 20 minutes 20 to 25 minutes.
It was really thick.
That would’ve been tough to do at camp if you were trying to hide it from someone.

That’s a long time.
That’s not like a quick five minutes while someone’s off doing something.
And we talked a lot about how I was going to go about it.

So it was really a lot.
So that was going to be my plan had we had flint, which we did not.
Honestly, watching it, it looks like it was kind of a rash decision.
But again, I was up there for way too long.
I should have anticipated it being a multi-step idol.
And I’m going back to the bench.
So I didn’t anticipate having to…
I mean, I didn’t vote the entire season!
Even though Emily stayed because of Hannah’s quit, that wasn’t on us.
And she mentioned something that was a little bit like, “Are these guys together?”
She walks off and I told Sean, “I think I might have to play it tonight.”
He’s like, “What?
It’s amazing how much intuition is really your only map out there.
That’s how I’m thinking.
It’s not even a question.
That’s why we love this show.
I feel like me and Kaleb were similar in that way.
You know what I mean?
I’m not thinking that you’re going to come towards me.
I’m thinking, “Okay, it could have been anybody.”
There’s so much going on in the game that she was not privy to.
I mean, me and Brandon found the Beware Advantage on day four.
Did you want her out at that second Tribal instead of Brandon?
Was that Sean and Kaleb just outnumbering you on that vote?
It seemed like you wanted her gone.
I knew that question was coming.
So actually, yes, because I felt the target from Emily.
There were a couple of times where I felt it from Kaleb.
I knew that there was not a road past our beach.
And it is different when there’s a chance.
We suck at puzzles.
If we could get a challenge without a puzzle going into the reward challenge, we win.”
We just are not puzzle players.
I mean, I never thought I would even have to attempt a puzzle.
So it is what it is.
When did the idea of flipping on Kaleb start to form in your mind?
It was a combination of him going to Reba.
It’s like, whoa.
That’s a long road, and he did it like that was nothing.
So me and Sean had a little talk on the beach thinking about Kaleb because that was crazy.
I mean, what business does he have with Emily if he’s three with us?
We don’t want to mob boss like “Nobody leaves the camp.”
We don’t want to do that because that would mean we don’t trust them.
It took hours, hours, and hours.
And even me discovering that the map was a keyhole for the tree that took a while.
We thought maybe they were talking about the flag.
It was so many places that we checked until it clicked for me.
Come on, buddy!”
But we were out there for a long time.
We know the tribe swap is coming up.
Well, you [know] Kendra got to come to our beach.
Having me, Katurah, Kellie, and Kendra all in the same dominatrix alliance?
What’s it been like anticipating your demise coming on television and then watching it play back last night?
Before I left, I said to myself, give yourself permission to fail.
It’s not really something that I’m used to.
And just have fun.
And now I’m back on active duty in the Marines.
And so I really don’t care what anyone else has to say.
I hope to get the chance to play again, but until then, I’m happy.
