10 Things Kass McQuillen Wants You To Know Following Her Second Chance Send-Off

"I really enjoyed being on a tribe that won challenges, 'cause in Survivor: Cagayan, I didn't win at all. I think to win this game, it's so much easier and more fun not going to Tribal Council, and winning fried chicken and brownies.

Part of being calm is, when you're winning, your stress level is so much lower and camp life is so much easier. So, if you're going to go into the game, I recommend not getting rid of strong players, trying to win every challenge, and not have to play 'til you get to the merge. And I think we've seen it over and over again in the game; the winner comes from the tribe that has been to Tribal Council the least pre-merge, because they've had the most relaxing time. 

In Cagayan, I had to play every day of that game. I was blindsided on the first Tribal Council and then I was on the bottom. Over here in Cambodia, I didn't have to play. It's definitely more fun to play when you're winning and when you can be calm and happy."
