10/28: Talking with “Survivor’s” Sherea Lloyd
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
There are several ways to get far in “Survivor.” You can connive, fashioning alliances with artful dodges, feints and occasional lies. You can stay likeably under the radar. Atlanta fourth-grade teacher Sherea Lloyd, eliminated this past Thursday, tried to be indispensable at immunity challenges.
But her tribe Zhan Hu wasn’t strong enough and they tended to lose despite her efforts. She chose not to play mind games, and her A-type personality clashed with some other tribe members, especially Dave Cruser. So when rival tribe Fei Long kidnapped her two episodes ago, she became vulnerable. (“I got screwed in the switch,” she said.) What’s worse: Frosti, another kidnapped Zhan Hu member, accidentally spied the immunity Idol this past Thursday, protecting his survival for now.
Lloyd could have survived if Zhan Hu had thrown the immunity challenge a second time this past Thursday, but they weren’t sure if she was trustworthy once the two tribes merged. She hurt herself when she chose not to talk to Zhan Hu member Peih-Gee Law during the reward challenge.
But overall, Lloyd told Buzz she had a good time despite the lack of food and sleep. “I made it as far as I could and I’m proud of that,” she said. At this stage of the game, she thinks big planner Todd Herzog has the best chance of winning.
“I did try to go with the flow,” she said. But she admitted that “I wasn’t connecting with all the people day by day. You never knew what was going on.” (And she got to go sightseeing around China during the rest of the competition.)
Lloyd came across a bit tough, always willing to speak her mind, even if it wasn’t always polite. “I don’t have a problem with the way I was portrayed,” she said. “That was me. It was okay.”
