"The Way He Treated Us Was Abusive” – RealityNewsOnline’s Exclusive Interview with Survivor: Samoa’s Marisa -by David Bloomberg -- 09/18/2009

 Looking at Marisa’s background, she appeared to be likely to stick around for a while. Indeed, she tells us she helped a lot at camp. But she got onto Russell’s radar and that was that. Did she have any inkling just how nasty he was? Who else in her tribe was so bad she describes him as a “weaselly scumbucket”? Read on to find out all of this and more!

RealityNewsOnline: Hello, Marisa, and thanks for taking the time to talk to us here at RealityNewsOnline! Let me start by saying that I looked at your background and actually picked you to be in the final two!

Marisa: A lot of people said that, I’m sorry to let you down.

RNO: Why do you think your experience didn’t come more into play on Survivor?

Marisa: It did come into play. There was a lot of stuff I did around camp that was directly linked from my growing up on a farm and having built stuff before. I worked on an amazing shelter for those people – they had an amazing place to sleep. You just didn’t see it as the viewer.

RNO: Did you have a particular strategy coming into the game?

Marisa: I guess it was to my disadvantage not to have a really evil strategy. I thought it would be foolish to have an ironclad something to do because I didn’t know who I was going to be with.
