Last night's Survivor: Heroes vs. Villains eliminee may not be the most entertaining contestant, but she did drop one zinger this morning during our exclusive chat:

Who will join her on the jury.

Judge for yourself...

Torch-snuffing virgin Amanda Kimmel hinted that Candice is one of the Castaways sent packing in next week's double-elimination episode.

"I really like Candice," she told us about her disloyal tribemate, "but when she gets scared in this game, she flips faster than flapjacks. You can't play the game like that. Obviously."

Oops. We all know King Russell requires 100 percent allegiance ("If you're not with me, you're against me"), so when he catches a whiff of Candice's waffling, she's a goner.

Read on for more insights from Survivor's most experienced player (so far!)—including why her third season was the most difficult yet.

Why didn't you and Colby put up more of a fight about returning the hidden Immunity Idol clue?
I think I was really assertive. I was the only one looking for it. Our strategy going in there was to find the clue to save us. We had to find it, no matter what. I was looking for it the entire time. That was all that was on my mind—while Colby was preoccupied with Treasure Island. To each his own.

Are there rules in this situation that required you to return the clue to Danielle, anyway?
I don't know. And I didn't know then, to be honest. Colby kinda made me feel bad about it, and I was like, Wow, I don't really know: Am I being totally retarded right now and it's hers anyways? I still don't know exactly the rules on it.

We're hearing a lot of criticism from viewers about the hidden Immunity Idol taking over the game. What do you think?
I think it's crazy, to be honest. They just made it 10 times harder because anyone could find it—like in the coffee beans. It was a little excessive to say the least. I wasn't a fan. I like the strategy part of the game and it ruined that in a way. It made it much, much, much more stressful. You had to worry about it constantly.

What did you mean when you said, when you left, "I'm kind of glad not to be a part of it"?
I was a little overwhelmed. I thought, whatever is gonna happen is gonna happen. I made too many mistakes. It was kinda my fault I was voted out. There were a lot of things I could've done to ensure my safety—like find the clue that J.T. found. I was ready at that point, like, You win. It was a very stressful game for everybody. You couldn't stop playing the game for a second, and it wears you out.
