On this week’s “Survivor” (airing Wednesdays on Global), Roark Luskin’s first visit to Tribal Council also turned out to be her last, with the 27-year-old social worker from Palo Alto, California, becoming the season’s fifth castaway to helplessly watch Jeff Probst extinguish her torch.

Following last week’s tribe swap, Roark found herself in a seemingly enviable position as the swing vote — until Ryan did a complete 180 and turned on his alliance parter Ali, which wound up shifting the dynamics and blindsiding Roark instead.

ET Canada caught up with Roark following this week’s episode, and she had a lot to say about what went down at Tribal Council.

How much of a blindside was it for you?

“Oh, it was an absolute blindside. I totally give Ryan all the credit for that. You know, Ally and I really thought he was with us. He knew we thought… it gets so complicated, I was joking earlier that it sounds like that ‘Friends’ episode, like, ‘He knew that we knew that he knew.’ He knew that we thought he was the decoy boot, and so he just acted up a storm the whole day, looking dejected, forlorn, withdrawn. I was like, ‘Ally, why is Ryan being so weird?’ And she’s like, ‘Oh, he’s just really bummed that Chrissy and JP don’t see value in him. He’s gonna be really upset tonight at Tribal, he’s just in a really bad way. And, credit Ryan, he deserves an Oscar.”

If you could go back to your final (and only) Tribal Council, what would you have done differently?

“I really believe that the only thing I could have been to find an idol or when Jeff passed those blue boxes around, move my hand a little. I think the fact that Ryan ad Chrissy ended up on the swap tribe together, plus myself, who was one of six, was just a really bad situation for me. There are little things that I would have done differently, socially. I wish I had spoken to Ryan more, I wish I trusted my gut on a couple different things. But in terms of big things that actually could have made a difference, there are not many and I think I was in a really bad situation.”

What about your social game? Is there anything you could have done better?

“I think that a learning I would like to take away or advice I would like to give to anybody is make sure you talk to every single person, one-on-one, at least once a day. I think that’s a really big social thing that needs to be happening that I didn’t do. I very much spent too much time in three-person conversations with Ally and Ryan and myself and I think that was a mistake. I needed to get Ryan one-on-one more. I needed to make it clear to him that I saw him in my future plans, that I trusted him. I did not do a good job selling Ryan. I just sort of trusted that Ally and him were really tight, and that was definitely my mistake. I don’t think it changes anything but I do wish I had done that for myself.”

What was your favourite moment out there?

“Definitely spending time with the Healers. I have never laughed harder as I did on those early days with the Healers, where I just remember clutching my stomach. Like, there was this insane story Cole told, and Dr. Mike’s little interjections were so perfect, so funny. The camera operator, the sound guys were, like, dropping their equipment. Those early days were really, really fun.”

What has it been like watching the show now that you’re back home?

“I mean, it’s a lovely experience. It’s such a different experience to watch it when you know everybody who is out there. Hearing their voices, seeing them do their thing, good or bad, it just brings me so much joy to watch these people that I really have genuine affection for get to do this thing that is so fun, that was so special for all of us to share.”

Would you play again if given the chance?

“I think anyone who says no to that is being falsely modest, in my opinion, so yes, of course.”
