Sophie Cachia’s Survivor survival left her with target on her back

Influencer Sophie Cachia said it was scary how easily people could lie and manipulate and she now has a target on her back.

INFLUENCER and businesswoman Sophie Cachia says even she was impressed after falling victim to an “epic blindside” on Survivor.

She was voted off at the end of the episode but in a plot twist remains in the game and has joined the other tribe.

“As a Survivor fan I can fully appreciate it and my face almost smiled,’’ she said.

“It was an epic blindside. It was equally exciting and petrifying. The unfortunate thing for my tribe and the beautiful thing for me is I got a second chance.

“I got to join my sister (Kate) and very quickly realised it was going to be to our detriment. We were the first family reunited and it instantly put a target on us and put pressure on my sister.

“I would have been more happy to go home in that moment rather than put pressure on my sister.

“She was there to play her own game and it was such a blur in that moment, a whiplash of emotions all within the space of two minutes.”

Mum of two Cachia made no apologies for being a fierce competitor but admitted the game play took a toll.

“I’ve watched Survivor my whole life and I see super fans comment online and you have no idea til you’re there,’’ she said.

“I see comments that we get meals to the side. Survivor is as real as it gets, it is brutal. The mental manipulation and controlling of your emotions …

“I am a competitor but I also don’t agree with how emotionally or sneakily the competition is. It’s scary to me how easily people were able to lie and manipulate you.

“I’m pretty confident in the person I am and I’ve cemented quite a few changes in my life.

“I’ve set a lot of boundaries and have had to let go a lot of people in my life. I’m big on aligning moral and values and I’m the least judgmental person in the world.”
