Screen Rant : How did you sense about being paired up with each other ? Were you closelipped inThe Challengehouse ?
Cinco : Azah , that ’s my girl right here . That ’s my queen . So I was like , we got partners , I was emotional . I was like , okay cool , hopefully , it ’s not a swimming challenge but other than that we ’re dear , we Gucci .
Azah : Yeah we ’re friends outside of the firm and we were friend before we got inThe Challengehouse so we were excited to be pair together as long as it was n’t a swimming challenge . It was quite known throughout the sign of the zodiac that I could not swim . We were just hoping it would n’t be a swimming challenge but for the most part we were happy to be paired together .
It seemed like you two laid low in the house and did n’t get call for in a lot of politicking . What was your strategy going into the secret plan ?
Azah : So for me , how I kind of get through game , what ’s skillful for me in the style that I feel beneficial about myself and experience good about what I ’ve done is I do purposely place low . I run to focus more on my societal human relationship and ensure I have good unfeigned relationship with people , that people would n’t require to put me in or would n’t want to throw me in and I just go with that instead of just going into gameplay . I kind of adapt to the gameplay that ’s give way to me . I take that same approach here . I had n’t gear up before coming in so I just want to repose scummy and not be seen as a menace and hopefully sail my way of life to the final .
Cinco : I just want to come in and get ahead . I wanted to make young friends and make new acquaintances , and newfangled teams , and new shows , because I did n’t really cognize anybody going in . plain , I recognise Azah and I know Tiff , but from other show , that was kind of about it . I wanted to get to cognize theSurvivorpeople , theAmazing Racersbecause it would be important to recognise after on partnership - wise , their strengths , weaknesses . Just get to know everybody and lay low until I needed to make a big move myself for my plot and judge to remain out of the drama as much as potential . It ’s backbreaking with your ex in there but I did the upright I could .
Let ’s talk about the day-after-day challenge . That water wasbrown . What were your thoughts about parachute into that murky water supply ?
Cinco : aboveboard at that point , my head space was like , this is ridiculous but I get ta do it to make headway . I got a cooperator who depends on me , I ’m depending on her so I ’m like,“F it . “We’re going to do what we get ta do , we ’re conk to swim the in effect as we can and try our salutary not to get last , essay our good at this challenge .
Azah : I was disgusted . I secern myself , I willed myself to keep on going but I was quite surprised that it glide by the health inspection .
Cinco : I was passing sick after that too . I was throwing up … all that . It had to have been something from that water .
Azah , it look like you were really skin in the end . What dedicate you the motivating to give it that net push ?
Azah : You know , I ’m not a quitter . And you know , when you ’re in these challenge and you ’re with a partner , you do n’t want to feel completely responsible for the demise … for the failure of you two . And I did want to give up , I felt like throwing in the towel in that instant but at that moment in fourth dimension , I ’m not playing for myself . I ’m playing for Cinco as well too . I did n’t require to have any ruefulness feeling that I did n’t put my entire all .
When you had that meeting with Tyler and Cash , do you think that not tell who you need to go against ache you in the longsighted run ?
Cinco : Honestly , it helped in the long outpouring . If Tyson threw in anotherSurvivor , they can blame it all on Tyson . It had nothing to do with us . It was his decision , it was Cash ’s decision so that would be stringently on them . That ’s what me and Azah was talking about . We were doing it for the long run . Also we had mass we had rather go against but at the same time I feel like that was a good play for the long discharge .
Cinco , what made you not trust Cash ?
Cinco : It was a lot going on , a lot of things being said about me that were n’t dead on target , a lot of rumors being spread that were n’t true . A lot of people were kind of scared to be around me or talk to me because of the position going on between me and her , so it ’s like , if you ’re not utter to somebody and you hear about things , it ’s kind of heavy to have trustfulness in them . peculiarly in a secret plan like this . There ’s no speculative blood . I have nothing against her , but in a game like that you kind of want to work with people you trust .
Now that you ’re not in the game any longer , can you partake in who you wanted to go against ?
Azah : Yeah , well we actually felt like a good match for us would be Alyssa and David , but we did n’t feel comfortable run forward with that selective information being that that ’s somebody from [ Big Brother ] and it would n’t bet good on me if I ’m tell I require to go against someone in my own alliance after just take out someone in our alliance the calendar week beforehand . So we kind of felt it was better for us to keep our mouths shut and have them make the determination so we would n’t have any blood on our hands .
Leo and Sarah had a entirely different scheme for the elimination challenge . Did you have a strategy going in or did you just wing it ?
Cinco : We kind of had a scheme . It was kind of similar to theirs . They used number , we used letters , basically like shirt sizes modest , medium , large , extra large . We kind of wanted to do it like , this will be quick , this is the first four , number out , put the first four down . Go the next four , put those four down . We got in there , kind of got flustered and kind of forgot where we were at . Then , we were trying to sense them , it was surd because we did n’t get a requirement of how they matte before , which we should have . And it ’s just extremely dark in there . It was just kind of hard to sense them out in the first place . So we had a strategy , it did n’t really go as well as we thought it was operate to go . We still did our estimable . We were kind of starting to get it at the destruction but it was too late .
It see like you guys were in the dark container when TJ blew the air saddle horn . Did you hear it from inside and is that when you realized you lose ?
Azah : Yeah we heard it from inside . Yup , we hear it from inside .
Cinco : ( smile ) I just hate losing . That ’s all it is . It ’s all undecomposed .
