Survivor's Jon Calls This Week's Blindside "A Good Play"

"No hard feelings" were the last words Jon Misch uttered to his tribe mates shortly before his (nearly forgotten) torch was snuffed on Wednesday's episode of Survivor: San Juan del Sur — Blood vs. Water. But, Misch says, the longer he thought about his ouster, the more it started to irk him. "Initially, I actually had no problems with it," Misch tells TVGuide.com. "As soon as I was voted out, I was like, 'Alright, well, I came as far as I could,' and I pretty much accepted it. The order that [my emotions] went in [was] acceptance, not acceptance, anger. It was all over the place. It wasn't until I talked with some of the guys that I kind of got a little frustrated. I knew it was more Natalie than Missy, but I just couldn't believe that Missy actually did vote for me."

Survivor’s Alec: Jon’s “Pathetic” Confidence Will Come Back to Bite Him

Jon Misch and his girlfriend Jaclyn Schultz have been coasting through this season of Survivor, but sooner or later resting on their laurels is going to come back to bite them. At least, that's the hope of Alec Christy, who was the latest victim of Jon and Jaclyn's majority alliance vote on Wednesday. "I really, really was working on Jon. He didn't know it at the time, but he needed me," Christy told TVGuide.com. "I told Jon, 'You need to make a move with me or you're going to be in trouble.' I looked him right in the eye and said that, and then he looked at me and said, 'I'm sorry. I trust them.' I think that might be a very telling moment here coming up."

Survivor: What Made Reed Want to Light Himself on Fire?

Reed Kelly, a self-proclaimed Survivor superfan, finally saw a longtime dream come true this year when he was cast on the show — and dashed in Wednesday's episode, during which he was eliminated. But he says San Juan del Sur has been a frustrating season in which to participate. "It's interesting," Kelly told TVGuide.com. "I knew going in that every season is different and every season has its own rules that you play by, created by the players. But, going through it, because it was a blood vs. water season, I think you had people in the game that aren't necessarily students of the game, I should say. So it did make things a little more complicated. It actually made for a lot more wild cards, because people didn't respond in the typical ways that somebody who watches the show would. So it made things a little more unpredictable."
