Tevin says he ‘cannot comprehend’ what Q used to be doing at ‘Survivor’ Tribal Council

Tevin Davis used to be the primary voice we heard on Survivor 46. However he may not be the remaining. Tevin used to be blindsided out of the sport after Liz Wilcox took offense at him taking all of the credit score for buying Soda Thompson out, after which the remainder of the tribe selected to not take Q Burdette up on his be offering to give up the sport. After a wild scramble at Tribal Council, Tevin used to be nearly unanimously voted out, with most effective Andy Griffith alliance spouse Hunter McKnight staying true (even if Hunter didn’t tip him off, nor give him his immunity idol).

How does Tevin really feel about his undoing? Was once there extra to his vote-off than we noticed on TV? Does he assume Q used to be in reality seeking to give up? And did he ever come blank to Soda at Ponderosa? We requested Survivor 46’s 2nd jury member all that and extra.

ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY: First off, I wish to make an apology for making you my winner pick out, as a result of that has change into one thing of a jinx for other people, so I think this will all be my fault.

TEVIN DAVIS: Your fault, Dalton. It’s your fault. So thanks for that.

How stunned had been you whilst you noticed your title arising at Tribal Council?

I used to be stunned, however I had a sense that day that one thing used to be mistaken. And I in truth had long gone to Liz that day and mentioned, “Liz, one thing is not proper. It might simply be me this night. I think one thing is off.” She used to be like, “No, you are positive.” However I felt like one thing used to be off. But if I did see my title, I used to be very stunned as a result of I did really feel comfy, and I imply, that is the level of a blindside — to make the individual really feel as comfy as conceivable. And I did really feel like there used to be no method. After which when Q went chaotic like he did at Tribal, I used to be so puzzled and the considered me going house utterly used to be out of my mind and I used to be like. I do not even know what is taking place anymore. So it used to be a large surprise.

Are you stunned Hunter did not provide you with a heads-up that your title used to be available in the market, or play his idol for you? You had been his ride-or-die.

Yeah, I used to be a bit of stunned that that had came about. And all through the Tribal, I saved having a look again [at him] like, “What is taking place?” I knew that one thing used to be taking place, however I wasn’t certain. After which no matter Q used to be regarding, I used to be like: “What’s he speaking about?” I wasn’t in on regardless of the factor is he used to be speaking about and perhaps they knew. I used to be having a look round and I used to be stunned that he did not let me know. I am not precisely certain why, however that used to be surprising to understand that knowledge.

What used to be it like for you after you had a second to procedure the whole thing, as a result of you’ll be able to idiot some other people with that million-dollar smile of yours, Tevin, however I know the way aggressive you might be, and I do know on some degree that needed to harm.

It unquestionably harm to be voted out of the sport, however I were pronouncing the entire time once I first were given there: Me being here’s the win. In order that is the place my positivity and optimism comes into play actual sturdy as a result of I consider the place I have been and the place I’m now and the truth that I even were given to play the sport, that I were given to do most of these superb issues and display my true unique self in the best way that I did. So I used to be harm via it, and I used to be unhappy, and I used to be like: “Oh my God, I sought after to win.” And the way life-changing it could’ve been to win with what I used to be taking part in for. However when I sat down and considered how a long way I had come and the way proud I used to be of myself, I did not sit down there too lengthy.

We will see how lengthy this lasts, however used to be it tricky having to sit down at the jury and glance over and spot Venus nonetheless within the sport?

It used to be, however they were given me. You understand what I am pronouncing? That is the sport. They outwitted, outplayed, and so they outlasted me. And yeah, Venus remains to be in there, however I am like, “God, they were given me.” So I wasn’t harboring any sick emotions to anyone over there. Y’all were given me. Y’all did the object. That is what I got here right here to play.

What used to be the enjoy like staring at all of it play again on TV remaining evening?

It is loopy. Anytime I watch anything else at the display, I do not in truth keep in mind ever pronouncing any of that stuff. And I am like, “I will be able to’t consider I simply mentioned I am out right here for cash!” It is issues that I simply do not keep in mind since you’re so zoned into the sport and I do not recall the whole thing that I did. So staring at it again used to be roughly like, wow! Some stuff I remembered, some stuff I did not.

After which to peer the stuff that is ignored, what other people had been pronouncing, how they had been beginning to plot, what they had been pronouncing to me, how they had been seeking to persuade me, or folks’s motives and the way their video games had been completely no longer in alignment with mine — seeing all that play again, it used to be attention-grabbing to look at and engaging to peer how other people’s brains paintings. The item concerning the sport is that staring at Survivor and taking part in Survivor are two other sports activities. They are no longer the similar in any respect, so other people will watch it and spot one thing, but if we are available in the market, we would not have the similar knowledge because the audience have. And so the choices that we make are primarily based only on what we all know on the time, and I simply did not know the entire knowledge on the time. And in order that’s why a large number of choices had been made.

As audience, we will be able to most effective pass judgement on on what we see and what they display us. So used to be your go out so simple as you simply taking an excessive amount of credit score for the Soda vote in entrance of Liz, or used to be it one thing extra?

There’s much more, in truth. I in my opinion really feel like there used to be a large number of issues that weren’t proven in my explicit edit this is essential to explaining how we were given from second one at the seaside to my dying remaining evening. Some of the issues to know is I wasn’t seeking to take any credit score. So I didn’t say “No” at Tribal after Venus had mentioned that used to be taking credit score for Soda. What I did used to be swallow. What I additionally did used to be inhale and exhale and fake that I used to be stunned that Soda used to be going house, realizing complete smartly that Soda used to be going house. So I used to be very just like, “I will be able to’t consider this is going on.” However I didn’t say “No.”

And I wasn’t seeking to run round and make everybody know that I took credit score. I instructed Liz, however I used to be running with Liz on the time. I wasn’t flagrantly operating round telling everybody that I used to be the individual for Soda’s vote.

Why take out Soda a that time?

The way in which that I selected to do Soda, I do know there are questions on like, “Why would not you pull Venus in as a bunch?” Or “Why did you cross after Soda? She used to be your best friend. Why would you cross after her? Why would not you get Charlie? He used to be proper there?” There used to be such a lot of different issues taking place within the sport that you just did not see. From the adventure on day two, Maria used to be like, “What used to be the colour of the pen at the vote card if you happen to had it?” And I used to be like, “I do not know.”

Jelinsky knew what the colour used to be. I didn’t. And I mentioned, “Maria, pay attention, I will be able to’t give you anything else to end up my consider to you. I would not have any cash, I’ve not anything, however what I can give you is an alliance. So if you happen to and I will be able to make it to merge, we will be able to paintings one thing out later.” After which someday Jelinsky roughly were given in on that after which I mentioned, “We could make a deal on it?” And that’s the reason in truth within the clip once I crossed my hands and mentioned, “We could make a deal?”

So I believed: I will be able to’t vote Charlie out of the sport as a result of that is going to rattle Maria. That is going to wreck the consider that I have been seeking to construct together with her since day two. I considered doing Venus, however I could not do Venus as a result of after that immunity problem the place me and Maria had been the remaining two, Q pulled me out of the water from the platform and he mentioned, “Vote Venus.”

And I considered it and I used to be like: Oh, that is so nice. I will be able to vote Venus. I do know what to do. And I were given again to camp and I went: Q’s been telling everybody what to do and he is not going to inform me what to do. He is not going to run this sport, as a result of if he will get to the tip and I am getting to the tip, then he will have so much to mention about how he used to be operating this sport and that is the reason no longer going to occur right here. So satirically, him telling me to vote Venus ensured that Venus did not cross house that evening, even supposing that used to be my preliminary goal. And so it’s such a lot chaos simply throughout and there used to be a large number of issues that were not proven that added into why I selected the issues that I selected.

Why did you and Venus chafe such a lot round every different? It perceived to occur beautiful briefly and not were given higher.

I in truth used to be very excited to satisfy Venus once I first were given to the seaside. I sought after to paintings together with her, and I used to be like, I believe I am in reality going to love her. And it used to be moderately speedy that our energies did not align. And I set very transparent limitations for myself. I mentioned: I am entering this sport authentically as myself and I can refuse to permit somebody to regard me any roughly method, to be disrespectful to me, or to regard me as though I am not worthy of any form of admire. And so Venus used to be crossing a few of the ones limitations with me and I saved seeking to inform her, “Hi there, that is one thing that you are doing.” And each and every time that I instructed her, I felt like I used to be being met with like, “Neatly, you are simply decoding it that method. That isn’t what I am doing to you in any respect.”

And I am like, “There may be goal as opposed to have an effect on. Although I perceive you would possibly not intend to try this, the have an effect on is what I am telling you I think.” And there is a deleted scene in truth the place it seems like Venus pulls me to the facet and roughly confronts me. What in truth came about is that I pulled Venus to the facet and faced her, as a result of I sought after to speak in order that shall we get started respecting every different a bit of bit extra. And this used to be moderately early. I used to be making an attempt to provide an explanation for why she would possibly’ve been at the backside. And each and every time I’d check out to provide an explanation for that, she would say, “Neatly, in truth, this is my explanation why for why this came about.” And he or she would by no means let me totally give an explanation for my point of view on issues. So it were given a bit of traumatic.

I mentioned, “Let’s cross a bit of bit additional and cross sit down down and get started this dialog over.” So we went to the stairs, we sat down, we talked for lots extra. That is additionally within the scene, however it is just roughly via her lens. We talked for what I seemed to be about an hour. And whilst we had been speaking and discussing issues, I used to be like, “Ok, Venus: How about I inform you what your downside is with me, and also you inform me what my downside is with you? So we perceive every different very obviously and we will be able to admire every different going ahead.” I instructed her, “I am making you’re feeling like a social pariah. I am ignoring you. I am not taking note of you. Your voice isn’t being heard. Is that right kind?” “Sure.” “Now, Venus, what is my downside?” And he or she used to be very just like, “Neatly, I believe you are simply decoding what I am doing mistaken.”

And I used to be like, “Ok, this is not going to paintings. How about we make a secure phrase? How concerning the phrase be sunflower? If I say sunflower, if you happen to say sunflower, that suggests one among us has executed one thing to harm the opposite one. We will discuss it, we will be able to cope with it, after which we will transfer on and we will be able to speak about it at a later time.” We agreed. We had been excellent.

The very last thing I mentioned to Venus in that spot used to be, “No person would be expecting you and I to paintings in combination. You and I will be able to run this sport from most sensible to backside and no person would ever are aware of it used to be us. Do you wish to have to be in an alliance with me?” She mentioned sure, and we agreed. I mentioned, “Now once we return to camp, let’s stay it lovely. Let’s simply faux like we’re nonetheless on reverse ends of the spectrum. You do not like me, I do not such as you, and let’s simply stay it like that and let’s play the jobs.”

We went again to camp and you’ll be able to see within the scene within the display that we roughly stormed again to camp. That used to be all a part of the play, however that did not remaining too lengthy as a result of she straight away began throwing my title round. And so it roughly straight away crumbled, and I resigned myself from it and I mentioned: I attempted and I were making an attempt.

And in truth, each and every particular person on Nami attempted to be really nice. They did not display how a lot Soda used to be bending backwards for Venus. They did not display Liz being extremely great. They did not display Randen going out of his method — smartly, they did display it a bit of bit. I am going out of my method, Hunter’s going out of his method. All of us went out of our method to in reality attempt to make her really feel comfy, and we needed to communicate one evening about how she wasn’t being heard. And we in reality listened to her, but it surely did not figure out.

So I wish to get your point of view on what used to be occurring with Q at that Tribal Council. What do you are making of him pronouncing he sought after everybody to vote him out? Was once he seeking to give up, as a result of we have observed different circumstances the place he has perceived to flirt with the speculation of tapping out? Or, as I am certain he’s going to let us know subsequent week, used to be all of it some mastermind ploy?

That is the place it will get complicated as a result of once more, staring at Survivor and taking part in Survivor are two various things. So me as a viewer staring at, I am going: Neatly, he is already give up a pair instances, after which he flips it and says, “Oh, I used to be kidding. That used to be all a part of the plan.” So I do not know what to consider anymore. However in that second when I used to be sitting there taking part in the sport, I actually concept he sought after to give up.

However I did not are aware of it as a result of no matter he used to be regarding about him being partly chargeable for what came about, I did not perceive what he used to be pronouncing. So I believed he used to be going to move, which is why I mentioned “You leaving would have an effect on my technique, however if you wish to cross, you are a grown guy, this can be a sport for one million greenbacks. I am not going to coddle you to stick. If you wish to cross, you’ll be able to cross.” So I did really feel like he used to be being severe, however as a viewer I am like, “Ah, I do not know.” However then what’s his rationale for why he did that? I will be able to’t know it.

You place the vote on Venus the former week since you sought after to give protection to in opposition to an idol or a Shot within the Darkish, and also you additionally sought after to stay Soda to your excellent graces at the jury. So what did you inform Soda about your function in her vote out when you were given to Ponderosa?

Oh, I instructed her, I instructed her that it used to be me that used to be doing it and that I completely did it.

How did she react?

I believe Soda respects sport. We noticed that within the episode and the way she used to be like, “Venus, you were given me. Just right sport.” So she revered sport and that used to be roughly it. And I believe that she understood that it used to be one thing that needed to be executed, as a result of from my point of view, I perceive other people would possibly view Soda as my best friend. I did not view Soda as my best friend. Hunter used to be my primary. They did not display how shut Soda and Venus had been, however they had been completely joined on the hip. They might argue and combat. They’d come again in combination. I imply, it used to be loopy to look at.

And so when Soda got here to me and instructed me that she used to be my primary, I mentioned: Two issues are conceivable and one among them is right. Both Venus nonetheless is your primary and you are mendacity to me to make me comfy to get me voted out of the sport, or Venus used to be your primary, through which case you might be keen, in case your sport will depend on it, to chop your primary with a purpose to recover positioning within the sport. Both method, that leaves me at a drawback. And he or she mentioned in her go out interview that Venus used to be her primary, because of this that my learn on that used to be right kind. Both method,  I could not consider her on account of the ones issues. So I believe she revered it.

What’s one thing else that came about available in the market at the island that didn’t make it to TV that you just want we had an opportunity to peer?

Maria and I did not know that we had further votes till the basketball problem. And once I noticed Maria sit down out of that problem, I straight away raised my hand and went to move sit down out, and I requested her, “Who did you pick out for the vote card? And he or she mentioned, “I picked you. Did you’ve it?” And I mentioned sure. And in order that used to be the instant that we discovered, and that used to be the rationale that I sought after to sit down out. Another way, I did not in reality need to sit down out of any demanding situations, however I had to know that knowledge.

I believe that constructed a bit of little bit of consider with me and Maria on most sensible of the consider that we had began construction from the adventure on day two. You did not get to peer that, which used to be one more reason why I did not cross after Charlie. After which Soda used to be much more of a like, “Let’s do this.”

I believed I noticed you in search of a bonus or one thing below the bench at one level. So I used to be like, perhaps that is why he sat out.

Oh, when I were given there, I used to be like: Possibly one thing’s below right here! However then I used to be like: They might have to position one below each, after which two other people sat out at Siga so it does not make sense to position one out right here. However extra importantly, I sought after to sit down out to speak to Maria about our further vote as a result of that used to be essential to me on the time
