Cedrek strikes again.
Bianca Roses was voted out on “Survivor 48” Wednesday night after she told Cedrek McFadden that she lost her vote on a journey. In turn, McFadden, 46, flipped the script on Roses, 33, and joined Chrissy Sarnowsky in blindsiding her out of the game.
Roses exclusively spoke to The Post about her game-ending decision to trust the surgeon.
“I was just trying to build a little bit of trust for coming back from tribal and trying to have one person on my side that I didn’t lie to,” Roses said. “My No 1, Thomas [Krottinger], was out. I was just trying to build a little bit of that trust.”
The PR consultant from New Jersey explained that more went into her decision than was shown on TV.
“Specifically, conversations with Cedrek such as Cedrek telling me Justin [Pioppi] went home because he didn’t tell me that he didn’t have a vote,” she shared. “So I clocked that. So I’m like, okay, maybe I should tell him.”
“Sai [Hughley] and Cedrek [were] both telling me that Cedrek was trying to get Sai. So I’m like, okay, it’s not that far-fetched to get him to vote for her tonight,” Roses continued. “I just chose the wrong person to trust.”
Roses also said she told McFadden about not having a vote “minutes before we went to tribal” and “watched him like a hawk” before they left, but “I think maybe that spooked him because I didn’t give enough of a heads up.”
Despite going home because of losing her vote, Roses said she doesn’t hate the journeys.
“As a player that went on the show because I wanted to face every challenge that I could, and I love to figure out tough situations in real life, it was fun,” she said. “It was a terrible circumstance and outcome for me. But again, it gave me this opportunity to try to figure out a way out of this horrible situation. And I do think that that part of it is really fun. And you do get to be creative and strategic, and that’s why I don’t hate it all the way.”
Roses also explained how she thinks tribal would’ve gone if she did have a vote.
“Obviously [I] would have kind of been in like the prime position. If I could have trusted that Ced and Sai we’re going to vote together, I think I would have chosen them because I didn’t want to prolong Civa’s numbers into the merge,” Roses explained. “There’s no Vula left almost. And it’s really like a Civa versus Lagi game at this point. So I didn’t want to make it more of a threat for us going into the merge. Us as in old Lagi”
