Steven Ramm is dumbfounded by Sage Ahrens-Nichols and Kristina Mills’s latest tribal council decision on “Survivor 49.”
During Wednesday’s episode, the trio got the upper hand over opposing alliance Savannah Louie, Rizo Velovic and Sophi Balerdi when Balerdi misplayed her Knowledge Is Power advantage and Ramm used his Block-a-Vote advantage against Louie. However, Ramm was voted out after his own allies turned on him.
“I was completely shocked,” the 35-year-old rocket scientist exclusively told The Post on Thursday. “I knew two votes were gonna be thrown on me, cause I blocked one of them. But when Jeff said [that I was voted out], I was completely shocked.”
“I think I might have sat there longer than they showed before I stood up,” Ramm admitted. “Honestly, the moment from standing up to getting my torch snuffed and walking out is all a blur.”
ETodisco@MYNYP”But I do remember genuinely feeling very, very hurt and betrayed,” Ramm continued. “And I wanted to just be honest and own my feelings. As much as I am not an emotional player and I respect the move, I wanted them to know that like, ‘Damn dude. On a personal level, that really hurts.’ And I just didn’t understand in the moment the logic and method behind the madness.”
Ramm explained that he was especially shocked since Ahrens-Nichols, 31, and Mills, 36, were so loyal to him the entire game.
“Kristina played an idol for me. Sage had voted twice over her own members to keep me,” he noted. “So she had put her money where her mouth is and proved her loyalty to me. And so I really thought that even though I’m sure I was a consideration to get me out in that round, that I thought they were going to be loyal to me.”
And after watching the episode back, Ramm still doesn’t understand the pair’s reasoning.
“I don’t get it, to be completely honest. And I was really hoping watching the episode play back, maybe I’d gain some more insight into some of the conversations that were had that maybe could describe what was going through their minds. And I really didn’t get too much of that,” he shared.
“I think they made the move that made the most sense to them at the moment,” Ramm added. “I guess they saw me as more of a threat than the other three that were in the game, and they felt they had a better chance sitting next to them.”
Despite his frustrations, Ramm apologized for calling Mills “a sloppy player” in the game.
“I’m going to own the fact that that was my feeling in the moment. I was frustrated,” he told The Post. “For every critical thing I said, there were so many other nice things I said that haven’t made the edit. But Kristina is awesome and I think she did play a great game.”
“Survivor” airs Wednesdays at 8 pm ET on CBS and streams on Paramount+.
