The ousted player also addresses the ‘weird situation’ with Tiyana.
TK just got TKOd.
(Sorry, bad boxing pun.

ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY: What happened?
Why are you talking to me right now?
TK FOSTER:There are a lot of things that happened.

Having that additional time to talk to my tribemates that I missed really set me back.
I didn’t even realize that Gabe and Sue had a thing from day one.
I had no idea that that was even happening.

I’m just a fiery competitor.
I’ve been competitive my whole life.
My whole family’s that way.

So we hate losing, doesn’t matter what we’re doing.
And I remember telling Gabe like, Oh, I know how to get around this hole.
There’s a certain way we need to do it.

But apparently I didn’t communicate that well enough, so it ended up not working out.
And you also said, Im going to start telling people what were doing.
Was that part of your problem, that people didnt want to be told what to do?
Tiyana Hallums, Caroline Vidmar, and Sue Smey on ‘Survivor 47’.Robert Voets/CBS
No, not really.
There was really no one else to tell to do anything.
So I’m thinking.

“Hey, we keep this simple.
We get rid of Sue.”
If we’re second, that’s very close to third, and that’s very close to last.

And that’s the situation we ended up being in.
I would love to hear what you guys think.
And I’ve done that every time in every decision we make.
I think he has a different vantage point than you.
He might know how to get around some things.
And Gabe’s like One voice, only one voice talks, we’re only listening to me.
And this is before I even spoke my mind.
So I already was feeling a little bit like: Okay, what’s going on here?
But prior to seeing it, I had no idea that that was going to happen.
You caught Gabe finding the key to his Beware Advantage box.
What happened after in terms of your conversations with him about that.
Did he tell you he found the idol?
Where did that all go?
As soon as I find it, I’ll let you know.
And you’ve got the option to tell if somebody’s being genuine with you or not.
And at that moment, I can obviously tell Gabe was not being genuine with me at all.
And then we let Tiyana know.
So everybody eventually knew he had an idol, it wasn’t a secret.
And we all knew that as well.
So the conversation was really around, We can’t vote for Gabe.
He was playing very erratic.
A lot of people knew what he was doing.
He got caught by multiple different people, multiple different times.
There’s even times I caught him talking to Caroline at like two, three in the morning.
But at the same time, what opportunities do I have?
I had to get four people.
If me, Tiyana, and Kyle are the three, I had to swing somebody.
Sue and Caroline were a pair that we all knew about.
They even told us that on the island.
Sue and Caroline said, “We’re not going to vote for each other.
So they’re literally a pair.
So the only person you really have is Gabe.
So it didn’t leave me many options.
Why do you think Tiyana was having issues with you out there?
Clearly, she was chafing a little bit at how you guys were interacting.
Honestly, I have the same questions.
We had a couple conversations that were casual.
And if I want kids, if she wants kids, and how I see myself as a dad.
We had all these conversations.
We were breaking down and crying again about certain stuff.
I don’t know why she took it so personal.
It didn’t make sense.
But obviously, in my point of view, I don’t think she did.
Man, that was such a weird….
I just want to know why was I soloed out as the only one who was talking?
It was just like, Oh, why is TK talking?
We’re both talking!
I’m not talking to myself!
We were all laying down.
Kyle, I would say, talks the most out of anybody on our tribe.
He was constantly talking about something.
We’re just having a conversation about, I mean, you’re on a beautiful island.
You’re looking at this great view.
We’re on the show.
We’re on the greatest game show of all time.
Why are we pressing about sleeping?
We weren’t anticipating sleeping anyway before we came out here.
Let’s chop it up.
Let’s get to know each other.
There’s a whole island that we pretty much own.
You guys could go right down the street a little bit and take your nap over there.
I didn’t realize it was that irritating to people to just be yourself and have a conversation.
It was a little tough.
Sue is really strong.
Tiyana’s the strongest woman out there.
She’s probably stronger than a lot of the guys that were also out there.
I don’t have much of a buffer that I anticipated I would have coming into it.
Whats something that happened out there that we did not get a chance to see?
There’s a couple that come to mind.
Kyle and I were going for crab every day.
By the way, that’s all I could eat.
It is not my thing.
So I wasn’t big on that.
I wasn’t really drinking the water.
The water is really nasty.
I don’t know if anybody knows this.
I don’t know if people have said this in previous seasons, but the water is not appetizing.
I had been talking about that fishing gear for two days straight.
I’m like, Oh my God.
The moment we win fishing gear, I’m going out and we’re getting fish every day.
We’re going to be eating good.
It was so bad, and I thought we were going to lose Kyle that day.
I mean, I’ve seen his life flash before right in front of me.
And I just remember that happening and I’m like, What the hell am I doing out here?
Because this guy, he lives in this bang out of stuff.
He does this pop in of stuff all the time.
I have no idea what I’m doing.
So if he’s hurting himself out here, what am I doing out here?
I need to go back and sit by the fire and relax.
I’m really out of my element.
Because Caroline and I had a really long talk.
We had a good 45-minute talk around six in the morning.
We both woke up.
I really just wanted to discuss with you and see how you felt.
And we had a whole conversation about it.
I was like, I would love to work with you too.
There was no way to pull her out of that.
