Jennifer, a 38-year-old contractor from Salt Lake City, UT, became the second castaway voted out of the game on Night 6 during the second Tribal Council session of Season 32. The Brawn tribe had to vote one of their members out because they had lost the prior Immunity Challenge.

Although Alecia Holden was the initial target, the men on the Brawn tribe took out Jennifer instead because they thought she had attempted to betray them.

In an exclusive interview with Reality TV World, Jennifer talked about her Survivor experience. Below is the concluding portion. Click here to read the first half.

Reality TV World: From a strategy standpoint, do you think your tribe made a dumb move in getting rid of you? On your way out, you sarcastically yelled out to them that you hope they'd win "lots more challenges." Without you, I think it's obvious challenges will be more difficult.

Jennifer Lanzetti: Pretty much! I was half sincere, I mean, when it comes down to it, I still consider myself a kind person. It hadn't hit me yet what just happened. It was kind of a shock -- huge shock. It was like, "Whoa, how did I come into this Tribal thinking we were solid on the plan and then I get voted out?"

But yeah, I think it was a horrible decision. Again, any time you react emotionally to such a pivotal decision, you're going to have bad results. I guarantee something is said next episode about them regretting this decision.

Reality TV World: Funny you say that because my next question was if you think your tribe came to regret the decision.

Jennifer Lanzetti: I do! (Laughs)

Reality TV World: You said Kyle Jason was really starting to annoy you with his attitude and how all he did was sat around and dumped on Alecia Holden. Do you think his extreme dislike of her was valid or something else was going on there? Because I know you also thought Alecia was absent-minded and what not, but did it warrant the extent of Jason's complaining?

Jennifer Lanzetti: I wouldn't say so because he didn't have to babysit her. Me and [Cydney Gillon] were the ones taking care of her. And [Scot Pollard] and Jason just sat around and barked orders, like, "Do this, do that." And, I mean, you saw him in all the shots.

They were doing a lot of the work, but he just -- I think because he was sunburned, thirsty and hungry, he was just more annoyed by people than usual. And that led to me being super annoyed too. It was like, "Just get up and do something, and quit complaining about things."

Reality TV World: In saying you had to "babysit" Alecia, do you mean you had to keep an eye on her so she wouldn't go off looking for a hidden Immunity Idol?

Jennifer Lanzetti: Go off looking for an idol, make sure she drank enough water and didn't pass out, make sure she ate some food, make sure she didn't sit in an ant hill. Yes. Pretty much babysitting! Legitimate babysitting.

Reality TV World: Alecia seemed pretty certain a tribal swap or merge was coming up after two more challenges and then you'd be down to two tribes. Did you or anyone else feel the same way?

Jennifer Lanzetti: Oh yeah, we could see, well, any time you have one tribe losing consecutively, things change up pretty fast. So I thought for sure, "Okay, one more challenge and then they're definitely going to change things up. I don't think they're going to let [the Brawn tribe] get down to two tribe members again like they've done in a previous season." So we thought, "Okay, one more challenge and we've survived and will twist up the tribe."

Reality TV World: Can you tell me why your tribe chose to get rid of Darnell Hamilton first instead of Alecia? I know Darnell lost the goggles in the challenge, but that's a mistake he probably wouldn't repeat and it didn't say anything about his physical ability or how he'd perform in future challenges, you know what I mean? So looking back, do you think that was a mistake?

Jennifer Lanzetti: Yeah, it was a huge mistake! I think it was our very first mistake because he still paddled and pushed the boat, and you know, he still helped in that challenge. And Alecia did nothing -- at all. No, I take that back, she did take the pieces out of the box. (Laughs) She took the pieces out of the box, she did do that.

But Darnell definitely would've been a better choice. It was an emotional reaction, so I guess that's why I'm not too hard on them for making an emotional reaction with me. Darnell flip-flopped a lot. We didn't know where his alliance was or where he stood. He was back and forth, back and forth for the whole three days that we knew him, and we were uncertain, so we went with our emotions instead of our gut.

And you could see at Tribal that Jason and I were like, "Ugh, we're voting out the wrong person! We're really voting out the wrong person." Scott said, "Nope, we are voting out the right person. Do it!" So we were like, "Alright." You got to do what your alliance says. You don't want to make enemies too soon.

Reality TV World: Alecia obviously heard some whispering going on about you guys changing your mind at that Tribal Council when Darnell went home. Could you elaborate more on what sparked that exchange about potentially voting out the wrong person?

Jennifer Lanzetti: Well, Alecia, we all wanted her gone so bad. It wasn't until Darnell said something to us in the water -- this was about an hour before we left for Tribal -- he said something to us, and we said, "Alright, Darnell, we're going to keep you. So just keep your mouth shut."

And then he went over and told Alecia and Cydney what we said. So we were like, "Damnit! Buddy, we had you!..." Tribal was so long ago, it was like 10 months ago, so it's hard to remember if it was me or Jason saying that [at Tribal]. It was one of us though.

Reality TV World: Darnell told me last week medical staff checked your ear out when a bug was crawling inside but viewers didn't see that. What exactly happened there, what did medical staff do to help and how long did you suffer through that?

Jennifer Lanzetti: So [the bug] was in there for about two days. Two whole days. Finally when I was screaming bloody murder and threatened to kill people, they brought medical in. And he looked in my ear and was like, "There's nothing in there." And I was like, "You're so crazy! My ear is bleeding." And he was like, "Oh, you probably scratched it." And I was like, "Holy sh-t, will somebody please help me?!"

So he laid me down and poured this antibiotic liquid in my ear and all of a sudden I could feel it crawling out of me. I was like, "Guys, come quick! It's crawling out of my ear!" I could feel it coming from the depths of my freakin' head. So it crawled out and then the [medic] was like, "Oh! There is something in there." (Laughs)

Reality TV World: Did you get it checked out again once you got home or was everything fine by that point?

Jennifer Lanzetti: No, I had an ear infection for about a week and I took drops for it, but there were a lot of injuries out there -- more than what they showed. I think the universe got me voted out to save my life. My tribe wants to take credit, but I don't think it was just them.

Reality TV World: You did have a good gash on your eye there!

Jennifer Lanzetti: Oh yeah! That was a third-degree burn from making fire. I also got bit eight times by a centipede, so that was lovely.
