On Wednesday’s episode, it appeared that the 26-year-old radio present host referred to as his ally Caroline Vidmar a “snake” for voting him out.
And whereas Vidmar did betray him, Ortis completely instructed The Submit that the remark was really directed at Teeny Chirichillo.

Learn Ortis’ full interview under.
New York Submit: Was it stunning that Caroline turned on you regardless of your three-way alliance along with her and Sue?
Gabe Ortis: No, simply because I believed that was the most effective transfer for her recreation at this level. I used to be like, if Caroline desires to simply get to the tip, then hold me within the recreation. If Caroline desires to win, which I do know Caroline desires to win, you bought to get me out manner earlier than we get to the tip, which is what we have been speaking about doing collectively. So I used to be hopeful that she would stand by me, however I wasn’t stunned once I noticed that she did as a result of I used to be like, ‘Yeah, you’re an incredible, superb participant and an incredible strategic thoughts. And you probably did the most effective transfer on your recreation.’
Was it a whole drawback for you that Tuku had essentially the most numbers on the merge, and thus turned a goal?
I don’t know if it’s a lot concerning the numbers. Like, sure, that may be a downside. However we survived lots of votes with the numbers. Comparatively talking, I feel it’s extra about solidifying that belief amongst you guys. And that’s what tribal council does, is while you survive tribal council and you might be a part of the plan that’s applied, that grows belief. There aren’t an entire lot of issues you’ll be able to actually do in ‘Survivor’ to correctly develop belief. I might say one is sharing benefits. One other is alerting someone that they’re going to be voted out. And the third is being on the tip of the plan that really involves fruition.
So I feel that we positively have been at an obstacle stepping into with so many individuals simply because we didn’t put pen to parchment as a lot as everyone else did within the recreation. And I feel that lots of people had extra confidence of their relationships and alliances stepping into than perhaps a few of the Tukus did.
It was unclear if you happen to and Kyle have been going to stay collectively or go after one another. What was your plan for him?
I needed to maintain Kyle within the recreation so long as attainable. I actually did. Now, with that being mentioned, if we ever acquired to a degree the place me and Kyle have been each weak and other people have been like, ‘Let’s get Kyle out,’ I wouldn’t have fought significantly arduous to maintain him. However I used to be very assured I might beat Kyle in the long run. And he was someone who was very sincere with me. So I used to be pleased to maintain Kyle within the recreation all the best way till ultimate tribal, if that’s what it took. But when push got here to shove, I wouldn’t have stood in the best way of Kyle going dwelling.
Who outdoors of Tuku did you belief essentially the most?
I wouldn’t say that I had a deep loyal relationship with Teeny, however going into the night time, it was someone I felt actually good about voting for Genevieve. And in order that’s why you get that snake remark from me on the finish as a result of I felt actually good about Teeny voting for Genevieve. After which when it didn’t occur, I used to be like, wow. That was the one vote that stunned me — was that Teeny really flipped.
Simply to make clear, you referred to as Teeny a snake and never Caroline?
Nicely, Caroline was proper subsequent to Teeny. I did it transferring so it was type of in passing. I hate lingerers. You’re completed, you bought voted out, seize your torch, go dwelling. I wasn’t going to hug anyone. Not even for private causes, simply because I don’t like that development at tribal. And all of the Tukus stood up and hugged me. However I type of did it in passing and simply trying down. And Caroline was proper there. However no, it was directed in direction of Teeny. I made eye contact with Teeny. Teeny knew it was about them. And when Andy leans over and is like, ‘Did he just call you a snake?’ He was speaking to Teeny. I feel everyone picked up on that.
How do you are feeling about this development within the “New Era” of ‘Survivor’ the place persons are not sticking with their alliances till the tip of the sport?
I feel I’ve a reasonably fascinating perspective on this as a result of I used to be someone who was attempting to try this. I had my Tuku 3 after which an ancillary fourth with Kyle. Like, let’s simply take this to the tip. The most important variable in ‘Survivor’ and it’s why it’s so tough and it’s why it’s unattainable to actually put together for the individuals you might be casted with. So I feel that there are some seasons that decision for you flipping in your quantity ones and flipping in your shut allies and simply going everywhere with who you’re focusing on. And I feel there are some seasons that decision for unity and for sticking collectively. I feel you noticed that work fairly properly till final night time with me, Caroline and Sue.
However I additionally assume that it’s all about who you’re enjoying with. And if the individuals you’re enjoying with within the recreation, you’re enjoying requires that, then yeah, do it. Don’t not do it on precept. However to correctly reply your query, sure, I feel extra individuals ought to be open to the concept of sticking with the individuals that you simply’re in with as a result of it will get you fairly deep into the sport. I acquired to single digits and that’s one thing actually tough to do.
“Survivor” airs Wednesdays at 8 p.m. ET.
