Sandra Diaz-Twine became the first two-time "Survivor" winner when she took home the money from "Heroes vs. Villains" by a vote of 6 to 3 over Parvati Shallow, with Russell Hantz receiving no votes. She tells Zap2it in her exit Q&A about her experience and what she really thinks of Russell.
A lot of our readers are commenting that you didn't really do anything -- no strategy, you didn't win any challenges. How do you respond to that?
You know what, I think that there's a lot of stuff that didn't make it to the show. There's a lot of big moves I made, a lot of fights and stuff going on out there. I wasn't under the radar, I wasn't quiet, and I wanted Russell out, but then I realized he's perfect to take to the end because I'll automatically win. He assumed I didn't have any friends, but my game is a tight social game and I got all 5 Hero votes and I got Courtney's vote. At the end of the day, I got the check, I'm the queen, it doesn't matter who likes me or who doesn't like me. She won, it's flawed, that's what [Russell] thinks, but there are a ton of people who are glad that I won.
Were you surprised that Parvati didn't win?
I actually thought she had five [votes] and I only had four because they kept saying she was such a physical player, she won so many immunity necklaces. I was shocked that I got more than I was counting on.
Is Russell even more obnoxious in person than we were shown on TV or is he not such a bad guy?
He is obnoxious. I'm sure his wife made him take a shower this morning ... I'm glad that I'm not the only one who saw that Russell was nothing but a scumbag.
What are you and your husband going to do with these two weeks he has leave?
We're going to hang out in New York and see some sites and then we're going to go home. I have a honey-do list for him and then he's going to leave.
Would you do "Survivor" again if they asked you?
Maybe down the road. This is still too fresh, but maybe down the road when I start to miss it. I'm always a fan. But I know I'd have to defend my title and then I'd be the target. I have no complaints about my game.
Meanwhile, Russell says that Sandra is not even in the Top 20 of all time in his exit Q&A. Read it all here.

Erm, ok world speaks - that's totally random.
For better or for worse, she got the votes she needed and got the win. That means that she did play a social game, whether or not they showed it on tv. The others would never give a million dollars to someone they didn't know, like or respect on some level so she did something right. Twice.
sandra such a female dog. i hope she goes to jail for tax fraud
Russell should have won. People on the jury have lost sight of the meaning of survivor. Outwit, outplay, and outlast. Russell dominated the game. The jury voted on feelings instead of logic. Logically, Russell should have won. There has never been a more devoted member of survivor than Russell. Russell is the best survivor player to date.
i think sandra is the real scumbag, she was such a nasty looking person, who clearly had no class.
It's hysterical she talks about taking Russell to the end as if she has anything to do with it. She tried to get him out every week and failed every week. Sandra has won the game twice now for doing nothing except being the least hated of the final voters.
Shut up ppl Russ is the scumbag y do u think none of the survivors stay in touch with him other than Natalie causes he's a p o s
Sandra you are the queen of survivor along with par u two are the best players to play the game along with Boston rob and yul
Man, my boy Russel should of won it. He dominated the game, seem's the jury has lost sight of what it means to be a true soul survivor.

What do you need to do to win Survivor? Nothing, I guess. Look at last nights winner, Sandra. Not enough clarification? Last years winner Natalie. Either one possessed any physical dominance or strategic play unless you call riding coat tails a strategy and if so why get on Russell's case about playing hard. Whether he lied, cheated and stole remember it's a game for $1 000 000.00. It was Rupert's comment that did it for me. He talked no good of Russell and later on in the reunion show he stated that he also lied cheat and stole and they call me a hero. Survivor is an honorable game to a point. But still it's just a game. "Outwit, Outlast, Outplay" This season is taking the GAME personal. Let me tell you if I'm playing for a million dollars, I'm playing not sitting back under somebody's wing. Granted Sandra won and last year Natalie won, it just doesn't seem right.
youre amazing sandra! i was rooting for you boston rob and parvati from day one!! so glad you won :)
