Do it for this one. Do it for your daughter. Do it for your mom.\u2019 And so that was kind of like our thing,\u201d Mills said. \u201cAnd I was like, \u2018Okay, if you are even remotely paying attention, then you will know at least one person from everybody\u2019s family.&#8217;\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAlso,\u201d the MBA career coach added, \u201cmy favorite move in Survivor history is when Kelly [Wiglesworth], back in Season 1, was on the chopping block to go home and won immunity because she knew things about her castmates. And so I really actually wanted Savannah to prove me wrong. I really did.\u201d<\/p>\n<figure class=\"nyp-slideshow-modal-image wp-block-image aligncenter size-large\"><figcaption>Kristina Mills in her interview with The Post. <span class=\"credit\">Page Six<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<figure class=\"nyp-slideshow-modal-image wp-block-image aligncenter size-large\"><figcaption>Savannah Louie on \u201cSurvivor\u201d Season 49. <span class=\"credit\">CBS<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<figure class=\"nyp-slideshow-modal-image wp-block-image aligncenter size-large\"><figcaption>Kristina Mills getting her torch snuffed on \u201cSurvivor 49.\u201d <span class=\"credit\">CBS<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>\u201cBecause I value a social game. I want to see if you can do this and if you can prove me wrong, I really will consider voting for you,\u201d Mills added. \u201cI just wanted to see if she could do it. And it was an ode to one of my favorite moves that\u2019s been played in Survivor.&#8217;\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Despite their feud, Mills claimed that she would\u2019ve voted for Louie \u2014 had she given the right answer.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI think if she could go through and actually really prove me wrong, then I would have said, okay, your social was way better than I\u2019m giving you credit for. And then you obviously have the physical threat and I would have very much considered it, and I think I probably could have voted for her,\u201d Mills said.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"nyp-slideshow-modal-image wp-block-image aligncenter size-large\"><figcaption>Kristina Mills competing in a challenge on \u201cSurvivor.\u201d <span class=\"credit\">Robert Voets\/CBS<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<figure class=\"nyp-slideshow-modal-image wp-block-image aligncenter size-large\"><figcaption>Kristina Mills on \u201cSurvivor 49.\u201d <span class=\"credit\">CBS<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>The season\u2019s fifth-place finisher also addressed stating that <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/2025\/12\/18\/entertainment\/survivor-49-winner-savannah-louie-reacts-to-mean-girl-accusations\/\">Louie had \u201cmean girl energy\u201d <\/a>during the season.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI think Savannah was just maybe misunderstood,\u201d Mills said. \u201cAnd I think we just played the game so differently. Like she came out there like business, business. Like, I don\u2019t need to make friends, I\u2019m here to win, that kind of stuff. Where me, I just very much valued the social component. One of my favorite players is Cirie [Fields] I feel like that is the beauty of navigating the game and that\u2019s something that I value. So I think we just were opposing.\u201d<\/p>\n<figure class=\"nyp-slideshow-modal-image wp-block-image aligncenter size-large\"><figcaption>Savannah Louie, Rizo Velovic and Kristina Mills at tribal council on \u201cSurvivor.\u201d <span class=\"credit\">CBS<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>\u201cAnd there were some things that happened that I just wasn\u2019t a fan of that just wasn\u2019t shown,\u201d Mills continued. \u201cSo, I feel validated about how I felt then, but I also know that Savannah is the sweetest person. Plot twist \u2014 we\u2019re actually good friends. We are great friends. I think she\u2019s a great person. I just think she\u2019s a competitor. That was her focus out there, and my focus was something else.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>As for her job as a juror, Mills explained why she <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/2025\/12\/18\/entertainment\/survivor-49s-sophi-balerdi-on-jury-info-she-got-after-final-tribal\/\">voted for Sophi Balerdi<\/a> over Louie and third-place finisher <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/2025\/12\/11\/entertainment\/survivor-49s-steven-ramm-calls-out-sage-kristina-for-betrayal\/\">Sage Ahrens-Nichols.<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u201cMe and Sophi were really close, and I don\u2019t think it wasn\u2019t shown at all, but since that split tribal me and her had gotten very close,\u201d Mills revealed. \u201cAnd we did play a very similar game. And so I had already kind of recognized her threat level and kind of how she played the game. And for me, Sage didn\u2019t really own the moves that she made. I think as the jury, we were kind of confused about the giving up the majority. And I feel like she was kind of the person that drove a lot of those decisions and we just don\u2019t really understand it and we wanted her to own it and she didn\u2019t that well.\u201d<\/p>\n<figure class=\"nyp-slideshow-modal-image wp-block-image aligncenter size-large\"><figcaption>Kristina Mills on \u201cSurvivor\u201d Season 49. <span class=\"credit\">Robert Voets\/CBS<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<figure class=\"nyp-slideshow-modal-image wp-block-image aligncenter size-large\"><figcaption>Kristina Mills on \u201cSurvivor 49.\u201d <span class=\"credit\">CBS<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Mills added, \u201cI wish they would\u2019ve shown it, but Soph made a comment in final tribal and said, \u2018I didn\u2019t need to take Rizo\u2019s idol because I controlled that idol.\u2019 And I was like, \u2018That\u2019s my girl!\u2019 You are owning all of it. You\u2019re owning everything.
