Survivor star Brooke on secret to winning challenges and whether she’ll watch Locky on The Bachelor

Survivor contestant Brooke couldn’t quite believe her eyes as she looked in the mirror for the first time in 47 days after she was voted out of the game.

Survivor star Brooke Jowett couldn’t quite believe her eyes as she looked at herself in the mirror for the first time in 47 days after her eviction in Tuesday’s episode.

“I have no boobs anymore! My teeth look white... my eyebrows are hedges,” she said, in scenes viewable in her ‘Jury Villa’ package.

Speaking to news.com.au this morning, Brooke said she was frustrated that tribemates Moana and Sharn had ignored her pleas to work together to oust this season’s most dangerous player, model David Genat.

“For the past few tribal councils, I’ve been trying so hard to get rid of the Golden God, but nobody wants to do it, which is a testament to his game,” she said.

“I thought he’d be so showy, but he was cool, calm and collected and didn’t seem like he was doing too much. It’s only when you watch it back you see all the little things he was getting up to. This is what I was trying to tell these guys - this is what we have seen, imagine what we haven’t seen!”

It was only through her incredible prowess during challenges that Brooke was able to stay in the game even after all her alliance members had left. She said it was mental, rather than physical strength that had carried her through.

“I have this thing - you can see when you watch - where I switch off and go into this weird zone. My face goes blank, I focus on something else and block out the pain. I take myself to a happy place,” she explained.

It’s a good thing Brooke got to show her strength, because earlier in the season her game was in danger of being overshadowed by a possible island romance with tribemate Locky Gilbert. She said the two were “incredibly close” on the island - and she had been “shocked” when he was announced as the new Bachelor the morning after his eviction aired. As she revealed on social media that same day, the pair had booked a romantic trip to Bali together.

“I did get a little heads up from him, but it was a shock to the system. But now I’m moving on and I’m in a good place.”

She said she hadn’t quite decided whether she’d watch his season of The Bachelor.

“Right now I think I’m going to avoid watching, but I think I’m going to be too curious to see what the girls are like. Suss out who’s taken him over!”

And does she have any advice for those girls?

“Umm…. nah, I don’t. (laughs) I’ve got no idea!”

EARLIER: BROOKE’S EVICTION

Brooke had no friends left in the game, but had kept herself safe for the past few episodes by winning the immunity idol. In Tuesday’s episode, David beat her to individual immunity.

“I can’t say I didn’t try,” Brooke sighed after losing the challenge.

“There’s no better female competitor,” said tribemate Moana, with David adding: “There’s never been a better male competitor.”

They may have been quick to compliment her, but David, Moana and fellow contestant Sharn’s knives were out at tribal council, as they picked off the last remaining player not in their alliance.

Brooke made a last-ditch plea to her fellow players at tribal council: “If you give me another life in this game, I’ll take you to the end. I’m struggling to understand what (Sharn and Mo) are doing with their game. If they vote me out, they’re pretty much guaranteeing Dave will win the next immunity challenge. Neither of these two want to sit with Dave at the end. They both told me today that they can’t win against Dave, and they can’t beat Dave in the next challenge.”

L-R: Sharn and Moana sent Brooke packing.

“I think Dave is probably the best Survivor player the world has ever seen. That’s a big person to go up against,” said Brooke.

In the end, her plea fell on deaf ears.

“I’m shattered because I was so close to the end. I played a strong game,” said Brooke. “I continuously won the immunity challenges, and I knew the second I lost, I’d be in big trouble … that’s what happened today.”

She also had a prediction for what would happen at next week’s finale: “I think Mo will give him a good run for his money … but Dave will beat them in the end.”

The Survivor: All-Stars finale airs 7:30pm Monday on Ten.
