Survivor: Nicaragua’s Jill Behm Talks Elimination, Jane, & Marty’s Decision

Jill Behm

The latest Survivor Nicaragua outcast to be eliminated, Jill Behm, is now speaking out on her time on the show.

In a new interview with In Touch magazine, the 43-year-old ER doctor from Erie, Pa, talks about Jane’s decision to side with the younger tribe, the mistakes she made in the game, and whether Marty’s decision to give away his immunity idol was smart or not.

Excerpts from Jane’s interview below –

Q: How are you feeling after watching last night’s episode?

Jill: I feel okay. I’m not relieved it’s over and there is a feeling of angst and annoyance. It’s hard, but I’ll get through it. I had a small viewing party with my family last night, but last week it was a big party with friends, knowing I’d win individual immunity and food for the tribe. I wouldn’t have had as big of a party as I was getting voted off. So last night it was just my husband and children and I sat in the corner sucking my thumb.

Q: Do you feel you played a good game, as you really didn’t do anything wrong?

Jill: I did so much wrong. To win Survivor you need an incredible amount of luck, or play a perfect game. I had neither. I had the worst luck in the tribe swap, with Jane being really against me. I made mistakes, too. I basically gave the hidden immunity idol clue to Marty and that cost me a spot in the game.

Q: And Marty gave up the idol last night to Sash. Was that a mistake?

Jill: He had no choice. People have said Marty was pulling the strings when it came to me. It was not like that. We were an equal partnership, there was give and take. Marty asked what he should do with the idol and I told him to give it to Sash, because if he played the idol he’d lose it and it may never come back into play and he might win favor with the others. I didn’t think it was that bad of a move.

Q: How bad was it for you out there?

Jill: It was miserable. I am a tough chick and Survivor brought me to my knees. I tell people if you want to do Survivor, do this: Do your job all day and don’t eat. Once it’s dark, get in the shower fully clothed and then go lay on your floor. Get up every two hours and get back in the shower, then go back to the floor. Do that for a week and see how you feel. But I do have an appreciation for the little things in life now. Like soap, water from the faucet and a salt shaker.

On tonight’s new episode of Survivor titled ‘Company Will Be Arriving,’ the Espada and La Flor tribes will merge together, and the always crazy NaOnka will steal food from her tribemates. At tribal council, another castaway is voted out of the game.
