Sasha: (laughs) Wow! Thank you so much for your compliments. I rather like the idea of being "Queen" or "Goddess"! (giggles)  Okay, let's answer your questions:

Firstly, I think everyone's impulse is related to paranoia of the game. Watching the game and playing the game are entirely different things, and the second you get out there, you're always on your toes. It's all about trust in this game, which is why Desiree's been so impulsive. Kiki and Ruben didn't vote against Desiree that night because they didn't like him, and as for Ruben's tirade... I couldn't tell you. As for me, I think I had an advantage as a lawyer because it's my day to day job to think under pressure, so I was always taking a step back and thinking of the most logical thing. At the time of my boot, the most logical move for me was to flip. I guess my total readiness and spilling of my alliance's secrets scared them a little.

Secondly, Ruben's comments really pissed me off because they reminded me of all the racist crap I've dealt with over the years. It disgusted me how he could jump straight to the Islam in the argument, as if it's a trump card. People used to jump straight to my race in arguments when I was younger, and that instance brought all that back.

Lastly, Queen Sasha has the following opinions on everyone:


 * Desiree- Desiree's downfall will be her obvious desire to take Ruben to the end. She's got it in her head that Ruben is her million dollar cheque and she's not letting him go. That fault aside, she's been playing a great strategic game, so I'd say if she succeeds in getting Kiki out and goes an immunity run, she'll have a great shot.


 * Johannes- He's an all-around great guy. He's got a strong physical and social game. Considering he's got Skanda doing all the dirty work, I think he could easily slide to the Final Tribal Council, provided he stays out of the spotlight. That being said I think he'll get outplayed towards the end.


 * Josephine- Josephine is a very headstrong woman. She speaks her mind and she's very demanding, and she wears her heart on her sleeve. Unfortunately I think her emotions are going to be her downfall. I can't see Josephine winning at this stage.


 * Kiki- Desiree is out for her blood. She's a strong and smart woman, but unless she can win immunity, she won't survive much longer.


 * Nathaniel- He's playing a very behind the scenes game. And I do mean very behind the scenes. He seems to always be able to position himself in a needed position so people don't vote for him. He's fading into the background among the bigger players which could work to his advantage, but also to his disadvantage. He could very well make the Final Tribal Council, but at this stage, I'd find it very hard to vote for him.


 * Ruben- Sexist, Islamophobic, perverted, downright insuffrable to live with. What they didn't show on the camera was that he was lazy. He barely did any chores and required prompting to do them. On the night of my vote-off there was serious talk of giving him the boot. The only person he has even a slight chance of beating is Nathaniel, and that's IF people can tolerate him for 15 more days. I was at my wit's end after 24.


 * Skanda- This girl needs to watch herself. She's not afraid to speak her mind and she's openly made it clear she doesn't trust nor like Desiree, and that will be her downfall if she gets into power. She's not strong in challenges, so that may help her case, but she's also very strategic and seems to be taking the heat for her and Johannes' moves, so if they're splitting Johannes and Skanda up, it's most likely Skanda who'll go. Should Skanda make the Final Tribal Council, she has a very convincing case, and I may even vote for her. However, I don't see that happening.


 * Vinny- This guy is lovely. He's on friendly terms with everyone in the game, regardless of whether they're aligned with him or not. He's also the unofficial leader of the alliance, so if he gets to the end, you might as well cancel Final Tribal Council, because he'll most likely win no matter who he goes up against. That being said, Vinny's social game is going to make him a big target, especially when it gets down to the nitty-gritty. He has Nathaniel in his back pocket though, so he might make it still.
