Even though he had a hidden immunity idol in his pocket, Chris Noble was still voted out of “Survivor: Ghost Island” in Wednesday’s eighth episode. “I’m well aware the ‘Survivor’ community thinks it was a dumb play, and they’re entitled to their opinion,” Chris tells us the morning after his elimination episode aired on CBS. “In respect, maybe it was sort of a dumb play. But at the same time, the way I live my life and the way I was gonna play this game was I had to take risks. My gamble didn’t pay off.” Listen to our “Survivor” exit interview podcast above.
“I don’t think I would have gone all the way and won ‘Survivor,’ but I definitely think I would have made some noise,” Chris says about how far he could have gone in the game. “If I had that idol the next time around for the next tribal, now I have a vote. And that vote would have been a lot more crucial to my game play. There’s some cool things I could have done with that. What if I won individual immunity at that time? Now that idol lost its power in the game, but I could have created that power some other way, you never know.”
As for this season’s biggest storyline — the feud between Chris and Domenick Abbate — Chris reveals that, had he been allowed to vote, he likely wouldn’t have written Domenick’s name down. “Because I had some alliances that ended up wanting to go with Libby Vincek, I would have used my vote with them because I am a team player.” He later adds, “Dom and I, who by the way we have a great relationship now that all that’s over, had been waiting for this episode basically since we got back to the United States.”
