“My bossiness… I own my bossiness. I am a CEO, I own a company, I front a rock band. I have bossiness baked into my DNA that is hard to shed,” Davis explained. “But it comes from such a place of love.”
“You know, I came onto this thing knowing that I’m not going to be the strongest, I’m not going to be the smartest. I’m a tiny little 50 year old lady,” she continued. “They’re already going to look at me as the outlier old lady. But I can work hard and I can struggle, and I can do physical stuff to help the tribe. So that was my thought going in, is I’m going to do everything I can to help build a shelter and find food and do all of the physical stuff, because that I can contribute.”
“So when I heard them talking about how bossy they thought I was and how ‘she’s just telling me what to do all the time,’ it kind of broke my heart a little bit, because all I was trying to do was help the tribe,” Davis said. “I was in no way trying to be a dictator and tell people what to do.”
Davis also reacted to seeing Balerdi call her a “Karen” on the show.
“If anything, it was a little bit funny because now we know each other in the real world, and she’s like, ‘I can’t believe I said that about you. Like all the people, you’re the least Karen type of person that I’ve ever met,’” Davis told The Post. “So it was really funny.”
“We all got to watch the very first episode as a cast, so when she called me a Karen, there was just this big like, ‘What?’” the Portland native recalled. “The whole cast was like, ‘Oh my God.’ So it was actually kind of a funny moment.”
“You just got to make light of it all. It’s just a game,” Davis added. “Nobody knew each other. It hurt for a moment, and then it was just kind of funny.”
“Survivor” airs Wednesdays at 8 pm ET on CBS.
